Chapter 467.1: Ruining Image, Forever Leisure, Fate
Jing Wan pretended to be a wooden pole for once, letting a certain snake demon use this kind of strange method to vent his feelings.
Fortunately, the living Enma has always been good at controlling his emotions. As such, this state didn’t last too long. Afterwards, he cupped Jing Wan’s face, lightly rubbing against his temples, and then opened his mouth, “This expression of Wan Wan’s, this is disdaining this husband? En? For the sake of taking care of Wan Wan’s love rivals, even needing to look after Wan Wan’s benevolent heart, holding back and not killing the person, do you know how hard it was for this husband? Yet now, Wan Wan is actually disdaining this husband, do you know how heartbroken this husband is?”
That’s why, this was still acting up? You at most just moved your mouth to give the order, how was that hard?
Truthfully speaking, Jing Wan really was used to it. Otherwise, suddenly seeing him like this, perhaps she would’ve really ran far away, and it probably wouldn’t have been too possible for them to be connected at the heart.
Judging from this bit, the living Enma perhaps knew about his own problems too, and prior to marrying, actually had always somewhat restrained himself?
Jing Wan grasped his hand, “Be good, don’t think about these nonsense all day long. No matter who I disdain, I can’t possibly disdain you.”
This obviously half-hearted manner of coaxing a child wasn’t because she wasn’t serious, but truly because with him acting up from time to time, Jing Wan also felt quite tired. If not for the fact that ignoring him would just cause a certain someone to become more intense, Jing Wan really wanted to let him go to one side and play by himself.
“What is that saying again, if obtained too easily, one just won’t cherish? Wan Wan right now is absolutely a prime example.”
This is becoming a grumbling husband? Jing Wan couldn’t help but shake, “Ah Yuan, don’t be like this, you’re really ruining your image. Although your image has long crumbled, but at least, don’t let me become thoroughly disillusioned.”
“Oh, in Wan Wan’s heart, what kind of image does this husband have?” Li Hong Yuan was unconcerned, nonchalantly asking.
Jing Wan swept him a glance, thinking for a moment, recalling a phrase she once saw on the internet in her past life, “Shouldn’t it be ‘wild, aggressive, cool, and handsome’? En, seemingly quite fitting.” Jing Wan nodded.
Although this phrase was actually quite cliche, combining a certain someone’s status and position in Qi Yuan, as well as temperament, degree of imperial favor, manner of conduct, and also his own outstanding qualities, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was just like as if it was perfectly tailored for him.
Although he didn’t really understand every word, but the rough idea, Li Hong Yuan could still guess. He also didn’t go ponder over whether it was a praise or an insult, “So? This husband is ruining one’s image to amuse one’s wife, yet never mind that Wan Wan won’t reward, to even reject? And this husband shouldn’t be heartbroken? Or, could it be that Wan Wan actually likes, what was it called again, ‘wild, aggressive, cool, and handsome’? Then, properly explain it to this husband, this husband certainly will act as you wish.”
(T/N: The word for cool in chinese is just a loanword from the english word cool, which is why an ancient person like LHY would not know it. There’s also this word 拽 which probably means swag in this context, but I don’t want to include it in this sentence, I refuse.)
Imagining a certain someone being ‘wild, aggressive, cool, and handsome’ to her in all kinds of ways, Jing Wan violently shook. The hell, too scary, “Don’t! This way right now is actually quite good, really! Occasionally ruining one’s image is also fine, only I will see after all, completely not a problem, really.” This time, Jing Wan was as sincere as she could be.
Li Hong Yuan was amused by her little appearance. That strange feeling around him also disappeared, “Alright, not gonna tease you anymore. This matter is already taken care of, so make some preparations, let’s go to the estate to stay.”
Jing Wan nodded, “This time, let’s stay a little longer. If adoptive mother plans on celebrating her birthday, then we’ll return after your birthday. If not, let’s just stay until we no longer want to stay, or something comes up and we get summoned back.”
(T/N: Li Hong Yuan’s birthday is only a few weeks before the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday.)
“En, all according to your wish.” For Li Hong Yuan, it didn’t matter where he was, because he could handle his matters anywhere. In the past, without Jing Wan, he instead didn’t really want to move his nest, but now, since Wan Wan likes that kind of carefree days, he naturally was very willing to accompany by her side.
After all, if their current plans never change, then in the future, Wan Wan will probably always be confined in the palace. And exactly what it will be like in the future, it was very hard to say. That’s why, as long as they have the time and the opportunity, he will try to satisfy her as much as possible.
“What’s wrong, is there’s something else?” Li Hong Yuan, seeing Jing Wan wishing to speak but stopped, asked.
“Just a bit puzzled, that Su-shi, exactly how did she die?”
Because Li Hong Yuan had long gave Jing Wan the heads-up, Jing Wan knew that those two ‘soon-to-be’ side consorts all weren’t anything good. Their hands stained with not just one human life. Although it was their own slaves, but their slaves had yet to commit a blunder. One of them, merely because of being in a bad mood, just vented her anger out on someone and had the person tortured to death. And the Su family girl, further found enjoyment in this, having people beaten to death for fun.
One has to know, even if the living Enma ‘viewed human life as grass’, he still wouldn’t be this unreasonable, killing for no reason. As such, this while, even if Su-shi died, Jing Wan didn’t have any feelings inside, purely just curious about the cause of death.
“Didn’t the manor doctor already say, it was getting frightened to death. Could it be that Wan Wan thought that I’d let someone kill her? Previously already said, won’t kill anyone. This husband naturally will keep one’s word.”
“Because of fearing being cursed by you, residing in an extreme fear, and the closer she got to Jin Qinwang Manor, the more scared she got, in the end, she just had herself frightened to death?” If it really was this kind of strange way of dying, Jing Wan also didn’t know what to say.
“Else?” Towards this bit, even Li Hong Yuan felt it was very miraculous. To think that there was even someone with this weak of an ability to withstand. “Originally wasn’t planning on taking her life, can only say, her life had come to an end.”
“If she didn’t die, what would’ve happened? After all, she’d ‘safely’ reached Jin Qinwang Manor’s gates.”
“‘Safely’? The medicine the Su family gave her had problems.”
That’s why, because the person died, not having any movements, thus reached Jin Qinwang Manor’s gates? If she didn’t die, then an incident would’ve occurred in the streets.
“What about the others? How can it be that coincidental?”
“Really curious?”
“En, en.” Jing Wan nodded.
“Very simple, the so-called accident is just for the sake of letting the matters afterwards seem reasonable, so no one would suspect anything.”
Understood, just like that other ‘soon-to-be side consort’. Falling from the horse carriage, she actually just bumped her head and fainted, far from being that damaging. Her injuries later got ‘aggravated’ by someone, becoming a fool, but everyone all thought it was because of the fall. The two palace maids Noble Consort Su specially prepared were more or less the same case.
“Don’t think about it too much, the matter is already over with.” Li Hong Yuan lazily leaned to the side, closing his eyes, and placing his leg over Jing Wan’s, “Wan Wan, massage this husband’s leg.”
Jing Wan clicked her tongue, slapping his thigh, en, very hard. Pinching a few more times, it’ll certainly be her own hand going sore. However, Jing Wan didn’t have any intention of refusing, and a certain someone wasn’t really thinking of letting her massage.
Jing Wan randomly massaged, though was also quite focused. However, a certain someone’s leg didn’t feel anything, but other areas did. Jing Wan at first didn’t notice, only until she lifted her hand to tidy his clothes did she finally realize, suddenly turning her head, seeing the originally shut eyes at this time burning brightly, as if his eyes were emitting light.
“You beast.” Jing Wan pushed him away and just wanted to run.
A certain beast very easily just got up, extending his arms and just having Jing Wan completely pulled in, leaning in against her ear, carrying a seductive chuckle, deliberately lowering his voice, “Originally this husband was suppose to have a wedding night tonight, but all because of Wan Wan, it’s now gone. Wan Wan, say, shouldn’t you make it up for this husband?” He then kissed her on her ear, and at the same time, didn’t let his hands stay idle, “Moreover, stoking the flames, and then running away, adding to the punishment.”
“Clearly it was just you on your own……..wuuu…….”
“Clearly you also want it, yet so stubborn with your mouth. Sure enough, it’s still your body that’s more honest.” He pinched her chin, letting her turn around, and unhesitantly kissed her, willful and aggressive.
Jing Wan naturally wasn’t his opponent, and very quickly went limp, even turning her body, her two arms wrapping around his shoulders, gently stroking the back of his neck.
Although the mood came a bit suddenly, Li Hong Yuan never thought of restraining himself in the slightest, directly having Jing Wan picked up………..
They actually didn’t make too much of a disturbance. As such, the servant girls in the outer room didn’t hear anything. Just, when a certain servant girl prepared to go in to change the tea, she first lightly knocked, but didn’t receive a response. Already thinking of certain possibilities, she hesitated for a moment, but still lifted the door curtains. There was no one on the couch, and the bed curtains over the bed was placed down, even lightly shaking. There was no need to say anything anymore.
Although long used to it, she still couldn’t help but blush, hurriedly retreating out, lightly coughing. Afterwards, she gave a hand signal to the others, and they all quickly left.
