Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 140.2

Luo Pei Shan's look towards Jing Wan changed again, strangely carrying a faint light, and extremely peacefully, or rather, indifferently opened his mouth, “Third girl, do you know what you're saying?”

Jing Wan pursed her lips, “Grandfather, I'm very clear of what I'm saying. Someone like Jin Qinwang, others all avoid like the plague, yet I voluntarily approach, indeed very unwise, even possibly making others feel I'm stupid. But under the current state of affairs, Jin Qinwang is the best option. If I become his fiancee, the dilemma will be easily solved.”

Jing Wan was very clear. Don't look at how her grandfather was very impressive right now, he was still within the scope of some people's tolerance, thinking that there was still the possibility of him being used by them. If he were to be unyielding to the end, then no one will tolerate him continuing to sit in his current position. This position of the Head Minister of Appointments was truly too important. No one will be able to tolerate him maintaining himself during this chaos. Moreover, since taking post, this current state of the affairs has been very worrisome, and this position itself was already unstable to begin with. If others all want to have him pulled down, well, third uncle Luo Rong Ping was already restless to begin with, so they would always be able to find an excuse to denounce Luo Pei Shan. Then stirring up some troubles from nothing, Luo Pei Shan's ultimate end, one can well imagine. That's why, the one in danger wasn't just Jing Wan alone, but also Luo Pei Shan, and also the entire Luo family.

Jin Qinwang held no power, nor influence, but he was one that no one could afford offending. He may appear to be Noble Consort Su's foster son, but everyone all knows, he didn't help either side.

“Indeed, the current situation is solved, but Wan Wan, have you thought of the future? Moreover, Jin Qinwang isn't one that's good to provoke. Taking advantage of him to resolve the dilemma perhaps will bring about an even greater trouble for our Luo family. After all, for others, they might still have misgivings somewhat, but for Jin Qinwang, he didn't have any misgivings at all. Even if he were to brazenly do something, one would still be helpless towards him.”

“That's why, I just seek a title, that's all.” Ruan Fang Fei was a pervert, Jing Wan has never thought of competing with her before, and besides, in Jin Qinwang's heart, there probably still lived a true love. She wasn't interested in squeezing herself in, and if when time comes, he needs her to move, as long as the Luo family is stabilized, letting her leave, even if in a special manner, letting her live using another person's identity, was all doable. Just, the position of 'di wife' was her bottom line.

As Jing Wan faintly hung her eyes, Luo Pei Shan's gaze towards her became increasingly strange. To have only a name but no reality? Dear granddaughter, you still have to see whether or not Jin Qinwang will agree. He has schemed this much for that long, and now, you're voluntarily jumping into his mouth. How could he not swallow you whole? However, he can't just let that living Enma have it easy like this. Having been nearly angered to death by that living Enma, no matter what, he still needed to get a bit of revenge. “Third girl, you should know, what's most important is the future.”

“The future? Grandfather also believes, no matter which other prince ascends the throne, Jin Qinwang will all undoubtedly be killed?”

“Could it be that third girl has other thoughts?”

“The times I've interact with Jin Qinwang, although can be counted on one hand and moreover, the time also brief, there's still one thing that I can be certain of, and that is, he's not a fool. Would he not know his current circumstances? But seeing him still continuing to do as he pleases, not knowing to restrain himself in the slightest, could it be that he completely doesn't care about his own life? There's no reason for him to lose his will to live, thus, in that case, he undoubtedly has a way to preserve himself. I've never believed that when the time comes for another prince to ascend the throne, it will be the day of his death.”

Luo Pei Shan's eyes lit up. This granddaughter of his, although didn't know the actual situation, she was still able to make out the situation accurately. “Even so, Jin Qinwang isn't one to follow common conventions.”

“These two things are just for his Majesty. After all, my status isn't high enough to be a qinwang's di consort. Only when his Majesty agrees will we be able to discuss other things. And if Jin Qinwang doesn't agree, I also won't insist on it.”

This status of hers was indeed the greatest obstruction, else Jin Qinwang would've just directly requested to marry her long ago. But, for the Emperor, this simply wasn't a problem. As long as he nods his head, then wanting to raise a person's status, that was just a simple matter. Dear granddaughter, if this matter succeeds, then you will have solved Jin Qinwang's greatest headache.

Luo Pei Shan couldn't help thinking to himself, that living Enma was that insolent, but his greatest headache didn't need for him to use the most extreme method to resolve, instead being resolved by his future wife. Don't know what kind of expression he will have.

“Third girl, you have to think carefully, Jin Qinwang's reputation……..”

“The rumors are usually all exaggerated. Exactly how much of it is true is still unknown. Besides, it's not like I'm seeking anything real, so whether he's fickle in romance or not, it naturally has nothing to do with me. As for being malicious and ruthless in temper, no matter what, he still wouldn't go as far as to do something to his own di wife. And as for wife cursing, right now, don't they all say that I curse husbands? Our cursed eight character, perhaps by encountering the other, will cancel out.” Jing Wan said with a smile.

At this moment, Luo Pei Shan truly realized that Jing Wan really was indifferent towards marriage. This step right now should've gone through careful deliberation. “Since that's the case, tomorrow I will have the things presented to his Majesty and feel out his Majesty's intentions.”

Jing Wan nodded, then thought for a moment, “Actually, just asking for an engagement is enough. In any case, this granddaughter will at least need to wait until after one reaches marriageable age before marrying, and there's still quite some time until then. Having an engagement as a buffer, grandfather should be able to have a completely firm standing in the Ministry of Appointments, and some things can also be taken care better. When time comes, even if others want to drag you down, it won't be that easy. And if by then, Jin Qinwang is still unwilling, he can also just 'curse' me.”

Luo Pei Shan looked to Jing Wan, not knowing what to say. In the end, for her to do this, it was still for his sake, for the sake of the Luo family. However, perhaps he should have her words relayed to Jin Qinwang, letting him also feel suffocated inside.

But, with things like this, Jin Qinwang can avoid exposing himself at present, and also avoid doing something like forcing the Emperor to abdicate in a coup. One should know, even if one wants to seize the throne, right now truly wasn't a good time. This was practically unknowingly dissolving one of Qi Yuan's great disasters. For third girl to be amassing this much good fortune, if the heavens aren't good to her, then the heavens are truly blind.

Shortly after, Luo Pei Shan also rather curiously asked how Jing Wan thought of all this.

“Don't know how I thought of it. In the past, in Qi'an Fu, I once made them to play with before, just at the time, it wasn't this refined, and didn't think of other applications for them either.” This lie was also 'unfamiliar at first, but well accustomed soon enough'. In any case, when she was in Qi'an Fu, she indeed played with quite a few little playthings that others all thought were strange, so it wasn't that strange of a thought. Moreover, at that time, she really did use a normal crossbow to hunt once, so for her to consider improving it seemingly wasn't that strange either.
