Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 105.4

Luo Jing Bo laughed in spite of himself, “Grandfather, don't say it like that, you're an elegant and scholarly old man.”

“This mouth of yours has been led astray by your little sister, and your guts have further fattened under your little sister's influence.”

“Isn't that just from seeing how you're that close with little sister. It hasn't even been that long and you've already pushed us, who've been following by your side, to one side. That's why one can't help but want to learn from her. In fact, it seems to be a little effective?”

Luo Pei Shan laughed out in a scold, “This brat, how come one doesn't see you learning good things from your sister?”

“Aren't I currently working hard in learning?”

“Fine, don't waste your time here bickering with me, go back to your drawings. The more you draw, the less your sister will have to do.”

“Yes, just, this grandson still has one thing unclear, asking grandfather to give guidance.”

“Say it, what matter?”

“This grandson doesn't understand, why little sis said, gongbi style needs to obtain acknowledgement, can't I personally go teach? And you further said, this grandson still needs to grind another ten twenty years.”

“That's why I said, you're still lacking in comparison to third girl. Although there's a saying called, 'the one who learns first takes the lead^[1]', but how many can truly achieve this? A new kind of painting style, to want it to spread throughout the world, at least, need for it to obtain those great experts and painting masters' recognition, right? And true recognition is passing it onto future generations. But what kind of people are those that you're able to teach? At most, nothing more than some youngsters and children, and these people don't even include those that already have painting teachers. If a certain great master were to give you an evaluation of 'playing the crowd, a dancing clown', what kind of result would that be? Obviously, even those that have interest in the gongbi style would all immediately abandon it, because they don't want to sink down to the lower class. These types of people afraid aren't in the minority. In that case, you grinding another ten twenty years was already a minimum. However, your little sister's method isn't the same. Those that are interested, yet unable to put down their face to come learn from you, can look at the booklets and learn on their own. If others don't know, then at least this face is preserved. And the exquisiteness of the gongbi style, for anyone who has slightly touched upon it, all should be able to feel it. That way, even those that are not interested in it, at the very least, won't reject it. Furthermore, those painting teachers can't obstruct their own students from mulling over it on their own. Thus, how much faster for it to be able to pass on will be hard to measure. Although our family will only prepare five hundred copies, but, just watch, not long after the first batch is released, someone will surely make copies.”

Luo Jing Bo came to realization, “As expected, it's still little sis that is thorough. However, if outsiders make copies, it's fine it they imitate well, but if they imitate poorly, wouldn't that ruin the gongbi style's reputation? Then wouldn't all of little sis's hard work be wasted?”

“Just now, grandfather casually flipped through one, and saw a few interesting little things.” Luo Pei Shan had his discoveries pointed out for Luo Jing Bo to see. There was one on the title page, one on the last page, and also some in certain places in the middle.

“Our family's mark!”

“Indeed, our family's mark. Imitating the book isn't a problem, but if they imitate even our family's mark, then those people can also go squat in a prison. We just need to put out the news that only the booklets with our Luo family's mark come from your hands, then not only will the gongbi style's reputation not be damaged, these five hundred copies from our family will further be madly fought over.”

“Little sis really is meticulous in her consideration.” Luo Jing Bo exclaimed once more.

“Yes, she's considered all aspects. Enough, if there's nothing else to ask, then quickly go back.”

“Yes, this grandson will take one's leave.”

When only Luo Pei Shan remained in the study, he lightly sighed, “What a clever and sharp-witted girl, just don't know whether or not you have the fortune to meet a man that will have you wholeheartedly cupped in the palm.”

That night, Li Hong Yuan read over the 'daily life report'. Speaking of which, his Wan Wan beating up someone, what did that count as? In his past life, her hands weren't stained any less with blood and human life. Of course, those were all true enemies, enemies of the Qi Yuan dynasty. And the ones that died indirectly at her hands were further too numerous to count. He didn't know what her reaction was when she first killed a person, but he has seen how clean and efficient she was in killing. Regardless whether it was using the knife or using the arrow, as long as it was something that can kill, she's all used before. One time, she even picked up a big rock and smashed someone to death with it, splashing blood all over herself. But her eyes still only had unswerving determination, fearing nothing.

(T/N: I wasn't joking when I said there are still many sides to MC that we haven't seen yet. The same can be said for all the characters in this novel.)

Afterwards, he contemplated, when she died, did she ever once held resentment towards the Qi Yuan dynasty? He was unable to obtain an answer. If he could obtain an answer, and if her answer was that she did resent, then would he destroy the Qi Yuan dynasty for her? No, she won't, even if she hated, she would still only hate a certain few individuals, and not the entire dynasty. Because, on this piece of land, there were still her closest kin, her friends and family, and also, many innocent commoners. Even if she was born a girl, her heart harbored righteousness further more than men.

Li Hong Yuan rubbed his nose. As expected, some things, he shouldn't think of. Once he thought of them, he'll easily sink into his memories.

Li Hong Yuan suddenly wanted to know, how exactly it would feel if Wan Wan's little fist landed on his body? Although he clearly knew, when she really wants to beat up someone, it definitely won't just be 'flowery fists and fancy footwork', soft like cotton without the least bit of strength, but thinking of that lovely little appearance of hers, and her delicate little fists, he still felt it was a little unimaginable. Li Hong Yuan extended his hand and rubbed his own abdomen, then used his fingers and jabbed himself. This hard surface more or less would hurt her hands.

(T/N: Deep down I really think ML is a masochist——-before he wanted MC to chain him up, now he wants her to beat him——)

Thinking of that scenario, Li Hong Yuan suddenly felt, not only is his body hard, but the places that shouldn't be hard will also become hard.

Seeing his own master seemingly sinking into some sort of strange state again, Eunuch Mu silently shifted two steps to the side. Master, if you continue on like this, this servant worries, before wangfei is even able to marry in, you will have already restrained yourself to death first.

Luckily, Li Hong Yuan didn't immerse himself in that state, unable to pull himself out, and very soon, he picked up the letter again and continued reading. Seeing those 'guarding against women' moves of Jing Wan's, Li Hong Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud. En, this he also needed to remember. If in the future, Wan Wan doesn't guard against those women that try to approach him like guarding against thieves, then he'll just have her dragged back and nicely lectured.

Have to say, in summary, these methods of Wan Wan's was still quite complete. Although they appear varied and creative, it actually still couldn't escape from those usual methods. If every men all did this, then those women that possessed crooked thoughts probably will all return in low spirits from defeat, and those deliberately schemed beauty traps can probably only break in defeat one after another as well.

Cheng Junwang's nobility rank was indeed a little too high. As for Li Ru Yu, Li Hong Yuan originally hadn't intend on touching her junzhu position. Chen Zheng Min, that person, even Noble Consort Su's most pampered princess, Princess Min Xiang, could all be sorted out by him into submission, Li Ru Yu really didn't count as anything. If she were to lose her junzhu position, after entering the Chen family rear court, afraid, will from then on vanish without a trace. How would she still be able to give Chen Zheng Min trouble?

Towards those 'love rivals', although they were tacitly approved by him, it didn't mean that he will just let them off this easily. However, Chen Zheng Min no matter what was also once a 'thing' in his Wan Wan's hands. To let Li Ru Yu snatch away just like that, no matter what, still have to let Li Ru Yu pay the price using the most precious thing in her hands in exchange. That's why, this junzhu position doesn't matter, there are still other ways he can use to sort out Chen Zheng Min.

This while, Li Hong Yuan forgot, it was he that planned for Li Ru Yu to steal his darling's things. That's why, to say 'bandit's logic', this one was actually the originator. Towards outsiders, and towards his own, that was definitely two sets of principles, acting in a way that defeats one's purpose.

As for Luo Jing Bo, Li Hong Yuan didn't know which family's daughter he'd married in his past life either. Moreover, he seemingly didn't take a wife until a year later, and not right now. However, Luo Jing Bo having a wife, this bit, he rather was certain, and not just one. It was obvious, in his past life, Wan Wan didn't lecture her older brother. Then, her relationship with that sister-in-law of hers should've been very ordinary, else, according to her attitude towards Sun Yi Jia, she at least would stop her older brother from taking concubines one after the other. After all, regardless whether it was the past life from his memories, or right now, the things Jing Wan did for her older brother, not a single one was lacking. Then that means, her influence towards her brother should be the same. If she were to obstruct, it would definitely be effective.

Another two days passed, the gates of Gong Courtyard opened. The students came out in succession, either in excitement, or in tears………

The Chen family finally saw Chen Zheng Min………….
