Chapter 175.4: Malicious Scheme
“Afterwards, it’s Luo Jing Wan that slut, if not for her, if not for her………..” Ruan Fang Fei began malevolently going mad again.
“Alright, what my daughter has suffered, mother will let her have a taste of tenfold, a hundredfold.”
“Then, it’s Li Hong Yuan. He deceived everyone, and even for the sake of leaving the position for that slut, used me to eliminate his previous fiancees. Who does he think he is? He really think he can continue to deceive me?”
Perhaps because she really cared, that when she saw Li Hong Yuan’s attitude and treatment towards Jing Wan, she just produced a series of ‘illogical’ guesses, but perhaps this was also just the excuse she found for being treated coldly. In any case, Ruan Fang Fei indeed grasped certain truths.
Ruan Old Madam also just treated it all as her nonsensical mutterings. This guess was very absurd and very laughable, completely impossible. Saying that Luo Jing Wan in certain aspects attracted Li Hong Yuan would be more reliable. “Alright, for Fang Fei to take a fancy to him, it’s his honor, yet he doesn’t know what’s good for him. When time comes, mother will have him captured for you to deal with however you please. Afterwards, in front of him, find for Luo Jing Wan ten, no, a hundred men………………”
“Mother, using men would be too cheap on her, just use animals.” As if imagining that scene, Ruan Fang Fei smiled brightly.
“Alright.” Ruan Old Madam stroked Ruan Fang Fei’s hair, yet her expression wasn’t that relaxed. That enemy in the dark, the possibility of it being Li Hong Yuan was getting increasingly high. For her who was in the passive and weakened state, wanting to touch him, it was too difficult. Perhaps as soon as one attacks him, she and the power she painstakingly cultivated will immediately be destroyed in the moment. Her daughter was very important to her, but compared to her cause……………never mind, it’s best to just appease her first.
“Also, those so called noble daughters, what do they think they are, to dare say I’m wrong? Have them all stripped naked and thrown into the streets. Afterwards, it’s best if they all commit suicide from shame, hehehe……….”
“All according to you. Then, Fang Fei, what about Zhong Qinwang? What happened with him?”
Ruan Fang Fei paused, also unsure whether or not those people were being deliberate. In any case, she wasn’t considered severely injured, and once those animals all left, she forcibly managed to crawl up, moving step by step. Every step seemingly was all able to drain her of all her strength. But suddenly, she noticed nearby two figures tangled together. For her to secretly go back without anyone discovering was impossible. The ones that schemed against her won’t allow it. As for Zhong Qinwang, who suddenly appeared——— “As Jin Qinwang’s soon-to-be side consort, to not know who one got tainted by, what kind of ending does mother think I’ll have? Forced out of the home, and locked into the family ancestral temple? For the better scenarios, it was just marrying out of the capital, one’s future prospects unknown? Or let Li Hong Yuan use this as an excuse to directly put me to death? Wasn’t it better to drag someone that just happened to appear and also still considered to have status as a scapegoat? As long as I stay in the capital, I’ll still have the chance to take revenge, no? Having a Zhong Qinwang charge and break through the enemy lines for me isn’t bad either, even though he’s just a spineless coward, completely not enough for Li Hong Yuan to fill the cracks of his teeth.”
To say she schemed against Zhong Qinwang, she ultimately had her bruised self sent out.
This old man, she also won’t let off either. However, right now, he still had use. Just wait, she similarly will have him turned into a dog under her hand. However, having this lesson once, she definitely won’t get bitten by a dog again. If he tries to bite her, then she’ll just slaughter him and turned into dog stew.
Ruan Old Madam was also rather proud. Under that kind of situation, for her to have not lost her rationality, and not mess up her propriety, calming down to look for countermeasures, she can be considered to have not taught her for nothing. “When comparing two evils, pick the lighter one, and for irrevocable things, one must have the harm reduced to the lowest. Fang Fei did the right thing.”
Ruan Fang Fei tugged the corner of her mouth. She knew this was a praise, but this kind of praise, no one would want, practically making one more disgusted than directly mocking.
Speaking of which, this place wasn’t the Ruan Manor in the capital, and the area the Ruan family’s carriages occupied was also just that big, with quite a few people coming and going. Even if one moved back and forth under your eyelids, you still won’t necessary suspect, and if you then were to encounter one with an especially good hearing ability, openly listening in a corner, and supposing that you find out your private words got passed on into someone else’s ears, you would probably just suspect whether or not there was a rat by your side, and afterwards, ruthlessly purge your own people.
Li Hong Yuan listened to the report. An Yi and Eunuch Mu both hated that they can’t just directly dig a hole and have themselves buried. Heavens, what exactly was that Ruan Fang Fei’s bones made from, still haven’t had enough of a lesson?
“The idea is rather not bad. To not use on her, seemingly would all be letting her down.”
One simply wasn’t able to hear the change in his mood, but precisely because of this, it was even more scary. After all, if expressed on the surface, they at least can know how high his anger level was, perhaps still having the possibility to avoid the danger. However, right now, they didn’t dare act blindly without thinking. If they were to accidentally have his anger drawn out, they’ll die without a burial site. It’s not like they were Luo third miss, if master lashes out, he won’t care who you are. They lowered their heads, not daring to breath too loudly.
“Have the severed heads of people preparing to massacre the village sent to Ruan Old Madam, then have Ruan Rui Zhong’s two sons sent onto her bed. Also, tell Imperial Uncle Zhong, Ruan Fang Fei for better or worse is already his person. Although for officially entering the gates, still need to wait until after returning the capital, but during this time at the imperial summer residence, he doesn’t need to restrain himself either. Just a woman he can play with however he pleases without needing to spend money, the ways of playing, naturally it’s the more unique the better. If this prince is put in a good mood, perhaps might even give him some benefits.” Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly said.
Without a doubt, this was openly flashing one’s claws at that Ruan Old Madam.
“Yes.”
Ready to set out once again, with Ruan Fang Fei and Zhong Qinwang’s matter up top, the matter of the eleventh prince picking a wild flower simply wasn’t worth mentioning. In fact, there were those that even teased the eleventh prince as a frivolous youth. In any case, no one felt he did anything wrong. And that girl, further wasn’t given a proper look, more or less the same as an invisible person.
After Jing Wan heard, she merely just fell silent. Each person had their own way of thinking, she had no right to question, nor was capable of questioning. Just don’t know how long that girl can survive. In the end, she was just a village girl. When it comes to schemes, how can she compare to those first-rank palace maids of the inner palace that are capable of crawling to a prince’s side to serve.
Rather, for the people of the village, after learning that the village functionary’s daughter left along with the carriage fleet, how many people’s eyes reddened with envy. They didn’t expect that someone who normally never tries to offend anyone would know how to scheme this much. Even if he was the village functionary, there were still quite a few people that blurted out a few sour words. The village functionary had no choice but to suffer in silence, having grievances, yet unable to say, and could only respond with a rigid smile. Perhaps because he had a guilty conscience, he unconsciously shrunk a little. And among them, perhaps there were even those that were reminiscing the ‘beautiful taste’ last night.
But unknown to them, a group of hunters wanting to have their entire village destroyed were currently crouched in the dark, just waiting for nightfall………..
