Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 286.1

Jing Wan later brought up the Governor-General young master's matter with Li Hong Yuan. Li Hong Yuan just glanced at her, “Having his son raised fat, and not thin and boney like a match, he should be deeply grateful towards this prince. His son ate that much of this prince's, this prince still haven't looked for him to ask for money, yet he dare to have complaints? Mu An…………”

Eunuch Mu who was guarding outside immediately responded at the door, “Master, what instructions are there?”

“Go to the Governor-General Manor and tell the Governor-General, his son is too capable of eating, one person comparable to a bunch. This prince that day just said will raise a person, and didn't say one will raise a pig. Let him quickly have the surplus portion calculated into money and sent over. As a person, one should ought to have a bit of awareness. Every time always needing this prince to personally tell him what to do, as the Governor-General, does he also rely on others telling him how to take care governmental affairs?”

Li Hong Yuan's words were both malicious and heart-stabbing. For those whose ability to withstand was slightly lacking, nine out of ten will probably get angered by him to the point of vomiting blood.

“Yes.” Eunuch Mu replied. Master's words, he will definitely all pass on word for word.

Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan, seemingly wanting to say something. Li Hong Yuan gazed back at her with a vague smile, “Wan Wan, this is wanting to plea for leniency again?”

“Ah Yuan thought too much. Why would I plea for an irrelevant person?” En, that's right, precisely so. Those were all outsiders. She should just 'follow her husband's footsteps'.

Li Hong Yuan played with Jing Wan's fingers, each single one, like as if studying the most perfect piece of artwork, even placing by his lips and kissing.

It was a bit numbing, and also like having a small electrical current spread through her entire body from her fingertips. Jing Wan uncontrollably pulled back, but naturally wasn't able to succeed. Then, meeting Li Hong Yuan's slightly condemning gaze again, as if she'd done something terribly wrong, in the first moment, she truly did feel a bit guilty. Jing Wan wanted to explode in cursing. What's so impressive about having an extremely attractive face, huh, have an extremely attractive face so can just casually try to seduce me with your looks?! She wasn't going to fall for this trick! “Regarding the Dragon Boat Banquet this time, Ah Yuan doesn't want to say a bit of something?”

“What's there to say? At worst it's also just 'the banquet not having good dishes^[1]'. Even if utilizing Kaiming Fu Army, this prince can still get away and retreat. Moreover, do you think they will have the guts to utilize the prefectural army? Tong Prefecture has a total of 120,000 troops, and Kaiming Fu, because it's simultaneously the prefectural capital, thus have twenty thousand more people than elsewhere, but adding it together, it's also just thirty thousand. A prefecture's Governor-General controlled a prefecture's army, but how are the people of each fu simple? One has to know, originally for the sake of dividing the power, the people below, in the original arrangements, aren't of one mind to begin with. In this Tong Prefecture, to be able to have fifty thousand people completely compliant to his orders is already not bad. And of that fifty thousand, Kaiming Fu at most have ten thousand. Moreover, once moved, certainly will be met with other people's obstruction. Utilizing the prefectural army to deal with a qinwang is already obviously considered rebelling. And without any justification, it'll just be the execution of the entire family. How many people have this courage? Even if secretly carrying out, if less than a thousand people, then don't even think about touching a single hair on this prince. And if it surpasses this amount, can it still be considered secretly carrying out?” Li Hong Yuan lift his hand, the back of his finger sliding across Jing Wan's cheek, “As long as I have one breath left, I will certainly not let you have the slightest harm. If truly thoroughly out of luck, that one in ten thousand chance, I will send you off ahead of me. Don't worry, it won't hurt, I've always been swift and efficient in killing.”

When Li Hong Yuan said these words, he carried a gentle smile, but these words weren't a joke. Since he was able to say it, then he definitely was able to accomplish, carrying a trace of ruthless determination.

“The jade heavens above, the Yellow Springs below, if my lord does not betray, I will not abandon.” Jing Wan smilingly leaned in his embrace.

(T/N: The first two parts of this line is quoted from Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret.)

“Wan Wan really is unwilling to suffer a loss, to neither abandon nor leave, still need to have conditions.” Li Hong Yuan lightly stroked her back.

“Of course, can I not?”

“You can, nothing you can't do.”

Since the words were already said to this point, Jing Wan naturally won't continue questioning. Moreover, utilizing the prefectural army, this kind of thing, in Jing Wan's eyes, the possibility limitlessly approached zero.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Hong Yuan didn't wear the qinwang court attire, and Jing Wan also didn't wear the qin-wangfei formal gown. However, both nevertheless headed out in extravagant clothes, and not the low profile luxury, but rather the high-profile splendor. From far away, one was already able to sense that out of the ordinary noble air, and more importantly, they were all able to have the splendid clothes on them firmly suppressed. The clothing and adornments, for them, were just for the sake of adding color. There definitely won't be the awkwardness of 'putting on the dragon robe, yet still unlike a crown prince'. The first to be noticed was forever the person, and afterwards would the things on them finally be noticed.

Moreover, Jing Wan even put on makeup today, magnifying her own assets, and weakening some areas that appear to be not perfect enough. The person was still that person, yet exceptionally stunning, greatly having the potential to outshine all flowers.

In reality, humans indeed have the distinction of beautiful and ugly, but in Jing Wan's eyes, this beauty, if want to pick out a number one, truly is very difficult. After all, each person's taste in beauty were all very different. For Li Hong Yuan's 'beauty' to be able to become the publicly accepted number one in the capital, without seeing him in person, it was all very difficult to imagine. Thus, one can gather, just how high his attractiveness was on the charts. And his mother was reportedly Jiangnan's number one beauty, so how beautiful must she have been? And even the kind that didn't wear makeup. To be able to give birth to Li Hong Yuan, this kind of son, in terms of attractiveness, she completely surpassed Le Cheng Emperor. It can be seen just how powerful her genes were. However, Le Cheng Emperor was also very handsome, majestic in appearance. If too ugly, having Li Hong Yuan, this kind of son, everyone would all feel the top of his head was green.

Their grandeur wasn't just reflected on themselves either, also needing a slew of wearing the same uniform bodyguards, carrying a blade at the waist. And Jing Wan's six servant girls also dressed the same, beautiful, yet also astute and capable. The two mamas were also upright and proper, the two eyes having spirit. Just, when close by, one will discover, among the bodyguards, there were actually even female bodyguards.

Jing Wan was already married as a wife, and even a qin-wangfei, so naturally won't have men having delusions over, but Li Hong Yuan wasn't the same, having a wife, yet still can have delusions about. He who strongly suppressed all the men, truly was very difficult to not be yearned for by those girls of the boudoir, even if getting repeatedly warned by their family.

Everything else aside, solely looking at Jin Wangfei's outfit, the clothing material was something the great majority of them have never seen before, extremely gorgeous and beautiful. And that entire set of high-quality ruby head ornaments, even a single one, all exceeded the value of everything on them added together. Moreover, it was even exquisite to the point where one was unable to avert one's eyes. Clearly, it was the craftsmanship of a first class artisan.

Didn't one see those servant girls' attire all surpassing them, these daughters of official families?

These things, under the heavens, how many girls didn't love? Something that perhaps in this lifetime was entirely unattainable, as long as one 'marries' Jin Qinwang, will all be easily obtained.

Would it really be like this? Heheh, truly too naive. Li Hong Yuan would only pile on Jing Wan, abundant to the point where there was no place to store, abundant to the point where it would become moldy, yet he would definitely still be too stingy to give to others.

And these officials, just never thought of having their daughters married to Jin Qinwang before? They have thought of this, and moreover, not just one or two of them. Even though they for the most part knew that Li Hong Yuan didn't have any power, but he was deeply favored by the Emperor, his wealth overflowing the heavens. Just based on these two points, it was more than enough. Moreover, according to his 'cannot be provoked tyrannical way', as his 'in-law family', who would dare touch?

But, Inspector General Su family's shu daughter, according to the rumors, nearly got thrown down from the Immortal Gazing Lookout by Jin Wangfei. Having such a ruthless and easily jealous main wife, yet Jin Qinwang at present was even still partial towards, can their own daughters enter the gates? And even if they enter the gates, how long can they last? In political marriages, a dead person's use was far inferior to a living person's, especially when not even the main wife.

That's why, some things still needed to be reconsidered. Moreover, right now, there were still sharp blades hanging above the head. Whoever moves first all will signify 'surrendering', meaning that perhaps one will, for the sake of preserving oneself, sell out the others. But how will these people allow it? Perhaps, by just having the slightest abnormal move, one will just get exterminated by the others joining hands.

Of course, this didn't include Inspector General Su. After all, as Tong Prefecture's boss of governmental affairs, no matter who washes clean, he will entirely be unable to be washed clean.

And apart from this, the most eye-catching was probably just the Great Commander of the Imperial Guards, Yu Zhong Qing. High third rank, a favorite before his Majesty, and most importantly, no wife, no children, practically just a golden son-in-law. During this period of time, there were quite a few people that wanted to make connections with him. Just, Yu Zhong Qing was loyal to his duties, and as the 'close-serving bodyguard' under imperial orders, one has never seen him leave the villa on his own before. And after leaving the villa, that was all being completely 'inseparable' from Jin Qinwang. Thus, they were unable to find an opportunity to make connections with him. This while, he was wearing his court attire, matched with a blade at the waist, majestic in appearance. Unfortunately, he had a stiff expression, his gaze cold, seemingly even harder to approach than Jin Qinwang.
