Chapter 279.3: Calculating Altogether
“w.a.n.gfei, although very rude………”
Jing Wan slightly waved her hand, “Everyone’s purpose in coming, I already know, as such, there’s no need to say anything. Although I still haven’t become a mother, but will sooner or later come to this step. The overall feeling, I can still understand. Because there’s someone to back them at home, for the child to be a little naughty, it is also very normal. As the parent, or grandparent, probably all believe this. Just, put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a moment. Just like today, w.a.n.gye has taken the role that your child once played, and what you all are feeling right now, it’s what the families of those that your child once harmed felt. And the pain your child is currently bearing, it’s also what those that were once injured by them once suffered. Because their status and position is lower, they thus suffer an unreasonable disaster. w.a.n.gye’s status is even higher, so if he kills and asks for money, it all can still be considered reasonable. All given life and raised by parents, so who doesn’t wish for them to be happy and safe their whole life.
Actually, just based on age, I’m also just everyone’s younger generation, but because of my status, I’m able to say a few words. If everyone feels it’s reasonable, just have a listen, this is just a personal opinion. Because one’s age is small, having experienced much less, one may not understand many things, so asking everyone to not blame.”
“w.a.n.gfei is too serious, it’s us that’s shallow in learning, such shame.” Indeed, such obvious reasoning, yet still unable to see as clearly as a youngster. In reality, for those whose official post is much lower ranked, they should understand this through experience. In the end, it was nothing more than after suffering at the hands of someone they can’t afford to offend, just wanting to compensate back through someone whose status was even lower in order to balance the heart.
Jing Wan smiled, “w.a.n.gye is an imperial prince, n.o.ble from birth, and also favored by his Majesty. To say something greatly disrespectful, when it comes to being lawless and out of control, in the entirety of Qi Yuan, probably no one can surpa.s.s him. For ordinary people, all more or less would still have someone holding back, but for him, it isn’t the same. That’s why, he has always followed his heart’s desire. If he’s unhappy, then everyone will all have to be unhappy. However, w.a.n.gye also won’t voluntarily look for trouble on his own for no reason either. That’s why, as long as one doesn’t provoke him, he probably all won’t give an extra glance. Speaking of which, w.a.n.gye is actually quite protective of his own. Today’s matter, a portion of the reason is on me. However, the Governor-General family’s young master had indeed gone overboard, making one feel unpleasant from watching. The rest however all just got treated as guilty by a.s.sociation by w.a.n.gye.”
The Governor-General’s madam, that was also someone that has long become a grandmother. Her complexion was thoroughly flushed red, just don’t know whether she was ashamed, or angry.
“w.a.n.gye, because he’s favored, since childhood, his Majesty just had the best things in the world all pushed onto him. His food and clothing expenses is publicly known to be better than his Majesty. He has never had to worried about anything related to money before. To say it unpleasantly, towards money, he perhaps completely doesn’t have an understanding of. He’s able to have silver used as copper coins. For him, a hundred thousand taels of silver and a hundred thousand copper coins probably have no difference, but in reality, a hundred thousand copper coins is also just a hundred taels of silver. A hundred thousand taels of silver, and a hundred taels of silver, can that be the same? That’s why, w.a.n.gye’s words at the time was also just moving his mouth, simply never considering whether or not everyone would able to bring it out. But he’s a w.a.n.gye, and in public under numerous eyes, I, as the wife, can’t sweep his face, no? As such, everyone can greatly rest a.s.sured, I will definitely persuade w.a.n.gye. However, since he has already opened his mouth, to completely pardon it all seemingly isn’t too possible, but I can guarantee that it will be much less than originally.”
Hearing her say this, these madams all relaxed a breath, repeatedly expressing their grat.i.tude, moreover stating that as long as Jing Wan gives an amount, they will immediately go back to raise money.
“Actually, I have a suggestion, why don’t everyone have a listen?” Jing Wan said, even carrying a bit of calculation in her eyes.
e
“w.a.n.gfei, there’s no harm in directly stating.” In this moment, their good feelings towards Jing Wan has rapidly shot up.
Jing Wan even meaningfully waved away the people by her side, “Women, after marrying as a wife, need to pay filial piety to the husband’s parents, serve the husband, and take care of the children, as well as the younger brother and sister-in-laws, exhausting oneself inside and out. Just, men, often times, all won’t regard it as anything important, believing it’s only natural and to be expected, not only so, even taking in a pile of concubines to place in the room, even asking the wife to be virtuous and magnanimous. All the good in the world seemingly has been taken up by them, so occasionally should also let them slightly payback…………..” Speaking to here, Jing Wan paused to take a sip of tea.
The madams however couldn’t control their racing heart, carrying a bit of eagerness as they looked to Jing Wan.
“Madams can go back and tell the family, just say that you have repeatedly begged me, and that I also just agreed to plea with w.a.n.gye to extend the days. Afterwards, you all can come to the villa again, and we don’t need to do anything else either, just drink some tea and chat. Then, when going back, take back a bit of ‘good news’, letting them feel, this time, regardless whether it’s money, or the child, all need to rely on you all to save. This way, don’t believe they can still be aloof. As for what to do specifically, just depend on you all yourself.”
Speaking of which, for people like them, which one wasn’t a skilled veteran. Moreover, majority were all war machines of manor battles. Such a good opportunity, how could they not make use of? Based on their acting skills, whatever kind of emotion, they are probably all able to effortlessly grasp, able to be as mournful as they wanted, and as anxious as they needed to be. This degree of intensity, they will also grasp well. Borrowing his opportunity, if not fis.h.i.+ng some benefits for oneself, can still fish benefits for one’s children or grandchildren, especially for those that came for the shu son. As long as they slightly reveal that by begging Jin w.a.n.gfei a little more, there might be hope, won’t they be begging for them to come look for Jing Wan? And for those that have the intention of favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife, they will further need to perceptively bring out even more benefits.
And only those married couples that completely don’t have any barriers in between them would refuse Jing Wan’s suggestion. But among them, were there any? None!
After mutually glancing at one another, they successively got up to bow. That was genuinely expressing their thanks.
Jing Wan waved her hand, “No need to be like this, I just don’t like…….that’s all.”
The unspoken words, everyone all understood. Unhesitantly kicking out the General Commissioner’s Ru Madam was the best evidence. Just going this far, scheming against the husband, this kind of thing, under normal circ.u.mstances, very few would think this, “w.a.n.gfei, is it that w.a.n.gye……………….” Because of Jing Wan’s support, the relations.h.i.+p on both sides seemingly instantly pulled closer by a lot, instinctively beginning to worry about her.
“This rather isn’t the case, w.a.n.gye is very good. Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor doesn’t have side consorts, and also doesn’t have concubines. I purely just don’t have good feelings towards any…………..” Can’t blame Jing Wan for not having the word ‘concubine’ said out loud. After all, she still has a ‘concubine’ mother-in-law. If these words spread out, she will end up suffering a calamity.
For some things, as long as one doesn’t unmask, it was all good. Once exposed bluntly, it won’t be the same anymore.
“For w.a.n.gfei to have the people serving by our side sent away from the start, was it for the sake of this moment?” Having the free time now, and with the relations closer, it was just playing some small jokes.
Jing Wan smiled, “This kind of thing, don’t need to point out bluntly, you know.”
Everyone all began laughing, and casually began chatting about some trivial matter in their home.
Changing the topic onto Jing Wan, she rather didn’t avoid either. The others were all shocked that her age was even smaller than they’d estimated.
“Originally thought that w.a.n.gfei was just tender looking, but unexpectedly, really is just fifteen. Such bearing, for ordinary people, even if cultivating for several decades, still won’t be able to achieve.”
The others also successively agreed along with, praising Jing Wan. Although having a bit of praise, most of it was nevertheless heartfelt.
“Madams are praising wrongly.” Jing Wan’s smile was very pure and light.
All the way until Li Hong Yuan sent someone to come looking did Jing Wan finally express to not keep them anymore.
“It’s us that’s bothering w.a.n.gfei, just the family’s unfilial son…………”
“Everyone can rest a.s.sured. Although certainly won’t be as comfortable as at home, perhaps even suffering a bit of physical pain, but please believe that it absolutely won’t be serious, and also won’t lose a single piece of flesh. I personally believe that it’s better for them to suffer a bit to learn their lesson. And to let w.a.n.gye yield and reduce the money, naturally need to let him cool his anger.” Speaking to here, Jing Wan even revealed a troubled look, “Based on my understanding towards w.a.n.gye, afraid even if you all give the money in the end, he still won’t easily let the person go.”
