Chapter 263.2: Revealing a Little

Li Hong Yuan smiled but didn’t speak. In his view, Jing Wan probably thought that he was joking, but he really did think this. That position, in any case, he had already sat in before, so right now, he really didn’t have any attachment. What he wanted was just power, and power didn’t necessarily mean one must sit in that position. As long as Qi Yuan was in his control, no one will be able to cause any waves. And his Wan Wan, even if not donning the phoenix gown, would still be the most honorable woman in the world, even the empress would all need to lower one’s head towards her. Thinking about it, he felt even more refreshed.

Luo Jing Bo and them originally wanted to just leave in the afternoon. Some things, the impact was a bit big, so they needed to go back and properly digest.

Jing Wan wanted to keep them for one more day. Ah Yuan’s birthday, even if they can’t openly celebrate, Jing Wan still didn’t want it to be too lonely.

At this moment, without needing to say more, there was already a tacit connection between the two of them inside.

For the people asking to leave, with the Luo family’s three brothers in the lead, he just said three words: ‘Thinking too much.’

Thus, everyone all stayed behind.

Regardless of what others thought, Jing Wan still instructed the servants of the estate to prepare a banquet feast. Because it was too formal, it was inevitable for others to find it a bit strange, but that doubt also just flashed by. No one went to look into the reasoning.

Additionally, the estate unexpectedly welcomed a little guest, Yu Yao Wenzhu. The explanation was, yesterday learning that Jing Wan and sixth older cousin came to the estate, and even invited a lot of people over, yet didn’t invite her, Yu Yao expressed she was unhappy, so just begged her mother, and diligently ran over on her own.

At the same time, she also brought something for Jing Wan, and passed on the message that for the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday, she doesn’t need to specially return. This year, the Grand Elder Princess is not planning on holding a large banquet and inviting guests, just holding a family banquet. As the adopted daughter, if she’s in the capital that day, then just go, if not, then no need to bother.

Jing Wan thought to herself, no wonder up until now they still haven’t sent out invitations. Although for the most part all knew which day was the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday, but in past years, they still sent invitations early. This year, the people that have long prepared the congratulatory gifts will probably be vexed.

Jing Wan opened the thing that was given to her, afterwards discovering a high-quality male-style jade pendant. Clearly, this wasn’t for her. Jing Wan immediately took it to Li Hong Yuan, lightly smiling, “Adoptive mother also remembers.” Then again, the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday was merely a few days later. Being this close apart, for the Grand Elder Princess to remember, it was also something very normal.

Whether others remembered or not, Li Hong Yuan simply didn’t care, but seeing Jing Wan’s smile, he realized, the things he didn’t care about, Wan Wan actually cared about very much. Thus, he accepted the jade pendant, “Still okay.”

“Don’t be this picky, this jade pendant is already very hard to come by.” Think everyone is the same as you, having piles of the most valuable things in the world? If adoptive mother heard, most likely will want to beat him to death again, truly lacking a beating.

Li Hong Yuan’s birthday, Jing Wan found out relatively late, so didn’t have time to prepare a present. Right now, Jing Wan’s food and clothing expenses didn’t come from her own dowry in the slightest, and ordinary things, rather than giving to him, it was better to not give.

Perhaps next year she can give him a surprise.

And Noble Consort Su, as usual, sent over a table of dishes, and as the same as past years, Li Hong Yuan didn’t even give it a single glance, just letting the servants take care of it.

Thus, the next day, the group that was preparing to return to the capital, all unknowingly ‘celebrated’ Jin Qinwang’s birthday for him.

Yu Yao Wenzhu rather didn’t return. She’d managed to come out with great difficulty, and rarely would her princess mother also not care or question, so she naturally needed to use this opportunity to properly play for a few days. To avoid letting her be bored, Jing Wan had her own sixth and seventh younger sister kept behind.

After nicely relaxing for two days, Jing Wan also quieted down, beginning to pay attention to the numerous plants and flowers in the estate. These were the real treasures. Just, Jing Wan this time accidentally fell in head first, becoming even harder to see than before.

Li Hong Yuan caught the person once, twice, then by the third time, “Wan Wan, if you continue like this, don’t blame this prince for having these plants and flowers all burned.”

As expected, he shouldn’t have given her the things she liked, else the one to get ignored would just be him.

Jing Wan, sensing that a certain someone was somewhat abnormal again, quickly consoled. If one doesn’t have his hair smoothed, he really can have everything burned down. When time comes, wouldn’t she be heartbroken to death.

With no other choice, Jing Wan could only reduce her time accompanying the plants and flowers, and if truly unable to, just pulled Li Hong Yuan together with her. Alright, as long as they were together, a certain someone was actually quite normal. Was her attractiveness towards him just this big? Should she be happy, or should she be moved to fear by his possessive desires? Jing Wan carefully thought for a moment. Seemingly she was even quite happy. Then, was it that mentally, she was also a bit abnormal?

Actually, the plants and flowers on the estate were all managed very well. After all, there were a lot of people tending to them. Moreover, all were relatively proficient. For the most part, after having everything ‘looked over’, there seemingly wasn’t anything left for her to do. She rather wanted to exchange experiences with the others, but unfortunately, these people didn’t dare. Furthermore, there was a living Enma overseeing. After coming forward and replying a few words, they were already trembling in fear. If one were to let them stay long, perhaps they’ll just wet themselves.

With nothing to do, one can’t just blankly stare at them, although she can paint, but Jing Wan really didn’t want to move.

Jing Wan somewhat pitifully looked to Li Hong Yuan, her face written full of boredom.

Li Hong Yuan was amused, rubbing her face, “How about this husband take Wan Wan to go hunting.”

Jing Wan’s two eyes slightly lit, and was just about to nod, when Yu Yao Wenzhu swiftly ran over, “Big sister, big sister, hunting, I also want to go.” It was clear, Li Hong Yuan’s words, she’d heard. The two young misses of the Luo family also had glistening eyes.

Yu Yao Wenzhu’s interactions with Li Hong Yuan were few, and moreover, those ‘glorious achievements’ of his, very rarely would people pass on to the children, so when facing him, Yu Yao’s guts were also big.

“Out of the question.” Jing Wan unhesitantly overruled. The forests were too dangerous. Having her taken in, if by chance something were to happen, how will they explain to her mother.

Yu Yao cutely begged, but Jing Wan hardened her heart, remaining unmoved.

Yu Yao spun her eyes, turning her head to go beg Li Hong Yuan. She was also very clever, not calling older cousin, instead calling older brother-in-law.

Li Hong Yuan was undoubtedly pleased by her, “Okay.”

“What okay, not okay.” Jing Wan shot him a glare, “Yu Yao, be good, the forest is dangerous, how about I let someone make you all toys…………” Speaking to here, Jing Wan’s light bulb went off. She can let someone build a small scale playground. The electric powered ones, naturally don’t need to think about, but the others completely didn’t have any difficulty. “Come, come, come, this older sister will make something fun for you all.”

Li Hong Yuan watched the one big, three small ones depart. This was getting forgotten about again? He was a bit angry.

The servants to the side withdrew their necks, hating that they can’t find a crack to squeeze into.

—————Never seen a grown man ‘ignore his proper work’ this much to stick to his wife.

Li Hong Yuan followed over, rather wanting to see what his wife wanted to do.

Once Jing Wan had an idea, she was also quick to set to the task, laying out a sheet of paper and just began drawing. Her movement was very quick, the rough rendering of the layout forming. Afterwards, it was just the blueprints for the parts. This for her wasn’t anything difficult either.

Seeing her in high spirits, Li Hong Yuan didn’t disturb her either. Looking at the rendering, as expected, Wan Wan’s origins weren’t ordinary. Without needing for Jing Wan to open her mouth, he just ordered someone to go look for the carpenter and blacksmith. There were some already present on the estate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once the blueprints for the parts formed, Jing Wan just saw the people she wanted to look for. Such a considerate husband, one can’t love too much.

Watching Jing Wan and them busy themselves, An Yi quietly walked to Li Hong Yuan’s side, “Master, there’s a message from the capital, the gongbi style that Luo third young master invented was plagiarized from someone else.”

Li Hong Yuan’s eyes sharpened. His wife’s things, someone dared to have ideas, how daring!
