Chapter 384.3: Battle, Acting Innocent
In this moment, Noble Consort Su even figured out the reason why her son got this hooked by his wangfei.
As the saying goes, as long as one feels something is not good from the start, then regardless of what is done, it would all get nitpicked.
Noble Consort Su although felt indignant inside, her movements on the surface didn’t show it in the slightest. However, she was already calculating inside. Since her son liked relatively wild girls on the bed, then she’ll just help him properly train two. As a dignified qinwang, how is it appropriate to not have anyone serving. Her son, no matter what, shouldn’t be this wronged.
In Noble Consort Su’s eyes, her son cared about his child’s birth, but having the people trained just to serve him, he probably won’t refuse. Besides, no matter how a servant girl performs on the bed, they still wouldn’t dare to leave behind the slightest mark on her son.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t know Noble Consort Su’s thoughts at this time, but even if he knew, he also won’t have anything to say. Just wait to get slapped.
The bloodstains on him got entirely wiped clean, and Li Hong Yuan once again put on the qinwang court attire, unable to tell in the slightest that he’d gotten injured before.
Noble Consort Su tidied his clothes for him, “My son as expected is elegant and handsome, like a jade tree and orchid.”
Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled, “The people of the world all say that this son, aside from this face, have no good points. Consort mother is just boasting one’s own.”
“Nonsense, how can Yuan’er not have a single good point. Those people just know to spread false rumors, how can they know my son’s good.” Raising such a son, Noble Consort Su was quite proud of her achievements.
“If consort mother feels it’s good, then so be it. This son will be leaving the palace now.”
Noble Consort Su rather wanted to keep him, but in the end, didn’t open her mouth. As a grown prince, hanging around the inner palace for too long ultimately wasn’t too good. “You absolutely need to be careful of your wounds. Since your manor doctor’s skills are not bad, perhaps he will have even better medicine. If he does, after going back, just change it.”
“This son understands. This son will take one’s leave now.”
Noble Consort Su walked out together with him, and just saw Li Hong Ming in the outer hall.
Seeing the two of them together, Li Hong Ming, without another word, just went forward. With his consort mother present, he wouldn’t go as far as to ignore him, right?
However, Li Hong Yuan really did ignore him, taking a side step and brushing past him.
Li Hong Ming froze on the spot, and in front of Noble Consort Su, he usually never covered up his emotions, so that gloomy expression on his face was quite obvious.
Shortly after, Li Hong Ming saw Noble Consort Su’s disapproving look. He tugged the corner of his mouth, but fell silent, not saying a word.
In that moment, Noble Consort Su really wanted to slap him, “This bit of matter, you all need to calculate, not having the slightest sincerity, so who would put up with you? All these years, how have I been teaching you? Did it all rot in your stomach? You’re thinking that if he ignores you, consort mother probably will feel heartbroken, then you’re even using consort mother in your schemes? Have you never considered that consort mother might feel hurt? Wanting to pretend having brotherly affections at this time, you really think I don’t know your true relationship? Is there any use pretending in front of me? How I see it, you must be too used to pretending on normal days, not forgetting your every word and move at all times. I’ve told you before, to want to accomplish big things, building a good image is absolutely necessary. However, I’ve also told you before, too far is also as bad as not enough. Even in front of your close family you’re all like this, then even if you succeed in the end, so what? Just to find yourself alone and abandoned?”
Li Hong Ming’s complexion turned green and pale from Noble Consort Su’s scolding. A moment later, “Consort mother, this son was wrong.”
“It’s best if you’re not just saying you know wrong. Alright, get lost then, I feel annoyed just looking at you.”
“This son will take one’s leave.” Li Hong Ming softly replied, and afterwards, turned to leave…………..
After exiting Yucui Palace, Li Hong Ming’s face instantly put on a perfect mask again, forever having bearing and elegance, treating others gently, appearing to have respect for the wise, letting others feel that he fancied you, letting others feel that even if having lowly status, he also won’t look down on you, that chasm of disparity in status not existing.
However, in his bones, he was the most detached and merciless, selfish and self-serving. Other people in his eyes, aside from having use, it was just nothing at all.
However, this while, Li Hong Ming was very clear, he must reconcile with Li Hong Yuan. After witnessing Li Hong Yuan’s martial arts worth, this matter further took priority, even if having everything all pushed back. Right now, it was a crucial period. There were too many things, simply unable to withstand him messing around.
Li Hong Yuan this while was actually also a bit distressed. Him carrying injuries, if Wan Wan finds out………….Getting by the first few days rather wasn’t a problem, but even if the wound heals, it will still leave a scar, so he will sooner or later get found out. If it’s getting found out a few days later, then perhaps it’ll just be adding on a ‘crime of covering up’.
Sure enough, having momentarily fought to his heart content, the following troublesome matters also increased.
That’s why, this was just the difference between caring and not caring. On Noble Consort Su’s side, Li Hong Yuan going over covered in injuries, that was completely disregarding Noble Consort Su’s feelings. However, with Jing Wan, on one hand, it was fearing that she will worry, and on the other hand, he actually even strangely felt a bit timid. Just think, if it was Jing Wan injuring herself all over, regardless of the reason, afraid he would all explode. Even if Wan Wan knows the reason behind his behavior, although understanding, it was still difficult to forgive. The more he thought about it, the more his head ached.
After returning to the manor, Li Hong Yuan’s mannerism just unknowingly carried a bit of cautious.
Although they aren’t considered to have been married for long, but they did get along day and night after all. As the most intimate person, Jing Wan naturally sensed it first thing, slightly narrowing her eyes, closely studying Li Hong Yuan. He actually didn’t directly come up to hug and kiss her? One has to know, as long as it was in private, these actions of his can’t be more natural and carefree. “Ah Yuan, this is having done something sorry to me?”
Li Hong Yuan lightly coughed, finally pulling over Jing Wan’s hand, taking her into his arms and rubbing against the side of her neck, “How can I?”
This attitude was practically trying to curry favor and act cute, yet still dare to say there was nothing? Afterwards, Jing Wan smelled on Li Hong Yuan a trace of peculiarity. Her sense of smell was even more sensitive than ordinary people’s to begin with. Thus, she leaned her head back, her finger pressing against Li Hong Yuan’s forehead, “Say it, if you confess, I’ll be lenient, if you resist, there will be severe consequences.”
Li Hong Yuan was a bit helpless, “About that, got a bit injured today………..”
Jing Wan’s expression faintly turned a bit dangerous, “And then?”
“During the fight with He Shi Hai.”
He said it was just a bit of injury, but Jing Wan didn’t really believe it was just a bit. Moreover, “Even just exchanging moves can all cause injuries, then presumably wangye is quite negligent? Wangye and the He family young master truly must love one another to death, huh? What do you say wangye?” Afterwards, she had her hands placed on his shoulder, one hand tracing down his arm, while the other hand traced down his chest, ‘groping’ downwards inch by inch. Of course, if ignoring the strength of her hand, and also that terrifying smile………..
Never mind Li Hong Yuan, even the people serving by the side also knew, wangfei was angry. Moreover, from the looks of it, she was even considerably angry.
Li Hong Yuan stuffily groaned, a look of pain emerged on his face. Just looking at it seemingly just made one feel the pain along with.
Jing Wan subconsciously just lightened her strength, “Now you know it hurts? From appearances, wangye previously didn’t have the slightest abnormality.”
“It actually doesn’t hurt, really.” Li Hong Yuan had a nonchalant and unconcerned look.
Jing Wan ruthlessly pinched him again, and not at all surprisingly saw Li Hong Yuan’s face change again.
Jing Wan for a moment also didn’t know whether he was trying to win sympathy, deliberately pretending it hurt a lot more than it did, or that it really was very painful. However, the injuries certainly will hurt. This was for sure, as long as the nerves were normal. Thus, it just depended on a person’s pain tolerance. This man was a strong one, but in the end, he was still raised in a life of luxury. “Go call Gong Jiu over.”
In the end, her worry and heartache still occupied the upper hand.
Even if it has been treated, Jing Wan was still worried. She watched Gong Jiu have the bandages removed, examining if there was a need to reapply medicine.
However, Jing Wan practically exploded in anger. This was call a bit of injury? Even if just counting one by one, one would still need to count for some time. Even if Gong Jiu says it was all light injuries, but if it was in her past life, every wound would at least need two three stitches. This was considered light injuries?
Jing Wan kept silent, just that coldly sitting there. In front of Noble Consort Su, Li Hong Yuan didn’t have any feelings at all, yet this while, he felt as if there was a blade pointed at his back.
Li Hong Yuan inwardly sighed. This bit of injury, for him, really wasn’t considered anything.
Gong Jiu rather wasn’t affected, immediately making out what medicine was used on the wound. Afterwards, he prepared to add a kind of medicine that won’t collide, yet can also increase healing speed.
“Gong Jiu, the medicine you used on young master He last time, the effect towards internal and external injuries should be pretty good, right? Use that medicine on wangye.”
