Chapter 468.2: Bickering, Infertility Powder, Son
Jing Wan looked to the person, then looked to the painting, then looked to the person again, and then back to the painting. Afterwards, she silently turned around. The sorrow inside practically formed into a river. She still has the basic training in art, she still has the fundamental ability to admire art, alright!? What the h.e.l.l, this level was practically just like those great masters, or even divine sages’ level. Why was this like getting attacked?
What happened to having no good points aside from a pretty face?
His skills in qi seemingly can slaughter her grandfather…..
His calligraphy can make various great masters endlessly praise……
And now, even his painting skills were all on a divine level.
His military tactics were able to crush He s.h.i.+ Hai in all kinds of ways———He s.h.i.+ Hai perhaps hadn’t learned before at first, but he was still relatively skilled in battle, afterwards improving slowly. But, Jing Wan didn’t see him hold up any longer under a certain someone’s hand either.
The aspirations of the mountains and rivers casually fiddling with in hand. The cla.s.sics and history able to effortlessly come from the mouth. To say that having extensive knowledge of the old lets one know the present, then to be of great erudition and learning wasn’t the least bit exaggerating.
Residing in the capital, yet know of matters in the various countries, the things others worry about to the point of losing hair, he was able to casually come up with several plans.
‘To devise a plan in a tent, yet be able to determine victory from a thousand miles away’ was nothing more than this!
To not sum up, one would not know, but once summed up, one was completely just pathetic.
This kind of man actually got said as having no good points? If this kind of person was all considered having no good points, then throughout the world, afraid one was unable to find many ‘successful’ people, let alone those that were perfect and flawless, all just potatoes, potatoes!
This was practically the most outrageous rumor Jing Wan has ever heard in her two lifetimes combined. Exactly who the h.e.l.l made up this rumor?
Li Hong Yuan stared at Jing Wan who was seemingly covered in dark clouds. He seemingly had accidentally given his wife a heavy blow. Li Hong Yuan was reflecting on himself. Did he go overboard, and actually should’ve just used a third of his abilities?
His wife was too fragile, sure enough, should properly cheris.h.!.+
Li Hong Yuan ‘accidentally’ had his thoughts said out loud again.
Jing Wan turned around, gloomily staring at him, “Shut up!” To be this haughty, have a bit of face, alright?!
Li Hong Yuan helplessly laughed, having Jing Wan pulled over, “Your husband, regardless of whether one is useful or not, talented or not, is all yours, right? Just yours alone. Other people, no matter who, don’t even think about having the slightest delusion.”
Jing Wan expressed, these words, she liked hearing, feeling refreshed inside. She extended her hand, jabbing Li Hong Yuan’s chest, “Say, exactly who said you were useless with no good points? If you say it, I promise I won’t beat him to death.”
Li Hong Yuan sighed, “Wan Wan, as a young lady, don’t be this violent.”
Alright, if not for a certain someone causing trouble on his own, a sharp blade like him, how could outsiders possibly be able to conceal.
Li Hong Yuan kissed the top of Jing Wan’s head, “Come, Wan Wan, teach this husband how to paint.”
“You still need me to come teach?” Even if wanting to mock, don’t need to go this far.
Li Hong Yuan tapped her forehead, “What are you thinking? Really becoming more and more stupid.”
Seeing a certain someone spread out the fully processed xuan paper again, Jing Wan also understood. Sure enough, the blow just now was too hard, her reaction becoming sluggish. However, “If I become stupid, that’s also your fault.” Getting spoiled all day to the point of completely not needing to use the brain, how can one not become stupid?
(T/N: Extra note in case people missed my footnotes last chap, fully processed xuan paper is for the gongbi style.)
“Alright, my fault, I will definitely take responsibility to the end.” From the start, wasn’t it precisely striving to have his wife ‘raised stupid’.
“Who wants to become stupid?! Starting from today, those matters of yours, at least half of them need to be given to me to look over first, and after I make the decision, you can then add to it.” When it comes to mental labor, what else is more demanding than those matters.
“All listen to you.” Practically can’t ask for more. In any case, with him overseeing, don’t need to worry about her tiring herself out.
This kind of absolute indulgence gave Jing Wan the feeling of getting thrown the pot again.
That’s why, no matter what, she was always the defeated one under him?
That’s why, she was getting crushed in everything? Jing Wan for a moment felt her anger build up again, “w.a.n.gye’s natural talent is out of the ordinary, so just based on those that this wife painted in the past, should know how to paint. Presumably, don’t need this wife to teach.”
Being indefinitely moody, the face turning faster than flipping a book, Li Hong Yuan was able to accept very well. ————-His wife right now really was lively. Compared to that always mature and solemn appearance when they first met, this further matched with what a girl her age should be like.
Li Hong Yuan completely overlooked what a married girl should be like. Rather than saying Li Hong Yuan was raising a wife, it was better to say that he was raising a ‘daughter’. Of course, when he really has a daughter one day, that child probably won’t have this kind of treatment.
Li Hong Yuan’s artistic attainments in gongbi were very profound to begin with. To ‘self-learn’ at this time, it was merely pretending to be clumsy, so rather simple.
Jing Wan quietly watched him paint. His side profile was still perfect and flawless. And at this very moment, he also carried a calm and tranquil air, beautiful to the point of unreal. Staring just like that, she gradually became lost in thought, and don’t know starting from when, Jing Wan began reflecting on herself again. Seemingly, she really was becoming more and more ‘stupid’. It seems that even small trivial matters were all able to make her angry or laugh. Seemingly, even the ‘smaller’ her all those years back in Qi’an Fu all wasn’t like this.
Jing Wan helplessly sighed with a smile.
Li Hong Yuan turned his head, clearly because of hearing her voice, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Standing up, she walked forward. Just now, she was still outside the picture, but in an instant, she just blended into the picture.
The two of them spent half the day in the study. There was no ripples, no entanglement, no rubbing of heads, just having tranquility and warmth, occasionally whispering in between, yet from beginning to end, penetrated with a kind of intimacy where nothing could come in between.
During times like this, these two masters were the easiest to serve, because they simply didn’t need to be served.
The next day, after Jing Wan changed into more agile clothes, preparing to go hunting with Li Hong Yuan, on the other side, the traveling doctor, in accordance to the Su family’s request, went to the Su Manor. Just, compared to yesterday, his attire was greatly different, his face also adding a beard, having many more wrinkles. His clothes were also even more plain, overall appearing like the kind that would get lost when thrown in a crowd. If they were to meet again, Jing Wan probably wouldn’t even notice him.
And that very recognizable white ape further wasn’t at his side.
Rui Qinw.a.n.g as well as Rui w.a.n.gfei were both waiting in the Su Manor already.
Probably for the sake of concealing their ident.i.ty, the two sides didn’t directly meet face to face. The traveling doctor didn’t say anything either, directly taking the pulse.
The pulse was taken very quickly, even quicker than normal checkups. In fact, he didn’t even change hands. He additionally inserted a needle, and asked a few questions. Shortly after, he just gave his verdict, “Poisoned, infertility powder, aside from being unable to have children, it’s harmless to the body. Under normal circ.u.mstances, unable to detect any problems, mainly because the infertility powder doesn’t really make one absolutely infertile. If lucky, there’s an extremely small possibility of obtaining a child. Obtaining one, that is the heavens favoring you among millions. Obtaining two, that is equal to ten lifetimes of the heaven’s love.”
When he finished, the traveling doctor very straightforwardly got up, picking up his medicine case, preparing to leave.
And just as expected, the traveling doctor certainly got blocked.
In reality, this kind of outcome, even if already mentally prepared, Li Hong Ming’s complexion was still terrifyingly gloomy. This while, he didn’t avoid anymore, directly walking out, “What doctor said, is it true?”
The traveling doctor completely didn’t have the annoyance of seemingly getting trapped or any other emotion, “Since you already believe, then why ask more?”
What kind of person was Li Hong Ming? Getting brushed off by a mere traveling doctor, in addition to confirming the problem on him, he naturally was burning in anger. However, his last hope was perhaps on the other party, so in the end, he suppressed his anger, “Doctor, is there a cure?”
“No cure.” Towards this kind of sinister thing, the traveling doctor has never been interested in, and wasn’t interested in researching either. After all, this kind of thing, normal people were unable to come in contact with, and among the powerful n.o.bility, only a very small minority were able to come in contact with it. As such, why waste the energy? If one has the time, it was better to go help those that genuinely needed help.
“Doctor, the favor you owed, it’s just merely helping someone take the pulse? Isn’t that too cheap?” Li Hong Ming was increasingly losing control of the expression on his face.
The traveling doctor was unmoved, “If not tied by the hands, then would you all even need to look for this old man?”
That’s why, the reality was indeed so. However, n.o.ble Consort Su using this opportunity, it was mostly because of wanting to solve the problem. Of course, if her son’s body doesn’t have any problems, then naturally it can’t be better, just treating it as using an opportunity in exchange for a peace of mind. Although losing the opportunity, she would feel somewhat regretful, but it was better than being paranoid all day long. And now that there was really a problem, she naturally hoped that it can be solved. Yet, in the end? The other party merely just diagnosed the problem and completely let go? How was that possible!?
“Doctor, can it really not be cured? You best think properly before answering.” Li Hong Ming’s tone already penetrated with heavy threat.
“Since that’s the case, then this prince can only be sorry. After all, you should know, this matter, for this prince, is of great importance, and absolutely can’t let outsiders know. As such, can only wrong old doctor.”
As soon as Li Hong Ming’s words dropped, the ones blocking were no longer the people of the Su family, but instead the guards Li Hong Ming brought.
“But don’t worry doctor, even if you can’t cure the problem on this prince, with your medical skills, this prince still has high regards for you. That’s why, stay in Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor. This prince will guarantee you wealth and honor, no longer needing to eat in the wind and sleep outdoors. If old doctor likes to research various kinds of medicinal herbs, this prince can also satisfy you.” Even if it’s forcibly having the person detained, Li Hong Ming still put on the stance of respecting the wise out of habit.
T/N: Happy New Year! May this year be a good year for everyone!
