Chapter 264.1: Idle, Badly Burned in the Head

“Give the specifics of the situation.” After realizing Jing Wan’s out of the ordinary origins, Li Hong Yuan already considered the possibility that gongbi painting might not have been invented by her. Because when Jing Wan first started painting, the painting style was already relatively mature, and she herself also never said it came from her hands, but so what? This was brought here by her, and regardless whether it was in the history of Qi Yuan, or other countries, it all didn’t exist. Then, it just belonged to her. Her having this fame and credit yielded to her older brother, although he was upset inside, he still won’t flagrantly interfere. Yet now someone wanted to insert a hand? Regardless of their purpose, all unforgivable.

“When the rumors first appeared, it was just having that bit of signs, and according to the initial grasp of the situation, should be wangfei’s painting during that time back in Qi’an Fu leaking out, landing in the hands of an outsider. This time, don’t know if it’s getting used by someone, or they themselves harboring ambitions and getting taken advantage of by someone. The possibility of the latter should be bigger. If the other party doesn’t have the painting taken out, then no one will know, but if long planned in advance, then things might be somewhat difficult to take care of. Two three years’ time is more than enough for the other party to manufacture the entire process. Qi’an Fu doesn’t have wangfei’s other paintings in existence, so the other party might very possibly make false accusations, and probably also certain of this bit, thus daring to be this unbridled. If things get big, Luo third young master’s reputation will be harmed.”

“At the time, when even Luo Old Madam was trying to prevent wangfei’s paintings from leaking out, what the hell were you all doing, making this kind of careless mistake?” Li Hong Yuan expressionlessly said.

“This subordinate deserves death.” An Yi lowered his head in acknowledgement of his guilt, “Asking master to let this subordinate have this matter resolved before taking the punishment.”

“Who’s the person behind the scenes this time?”

“Rui Qinwang.”

Li Hong Yuan coldly sneered. Li Hong Ming’s aim was clear and easy to see.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing, once there’s a bit of wind, it’ll just very quickly spread, especially when ‘plotting then acting’. Even if Li Hong Yuan grasped the situation first thing, it was all very difficult to control. But in reality, this matter’s rate of spread really wasn’t quick. It was obvious that someone was deliberately suppressing. Aside from the mastermind behind the scene, for the most part, there won’t be a second candidate.

“If you’d behaved a bit more, this time would’ve just let you off after letting you bleed a little. But since you stubbornly want to come looking, to not let you suffer all over, I, Li Hong Yuan, will have my name written backwards. ———–Let someone accuse Shen Shu Han of misconduct, either let Shen Shu Han have the position of Right Commander-in-Chief handed over, or have the rest of the Shen family all cut off.”

An Yi’s heart shook. This will really be ruthless. The Shen family is Rui Qinwang’s iron club, and the Right Commander-in-Chief held military power. With Shen Shu Han getting pulled down, Rui Qinwang will practically be losing his right arm, and for the others of the Shen family, the positions they resided in can be considered multifaceted. If one really severs them all, the damage perhaps will be even greater. It’ll indeed be getting wounded all over.

In reality, it was just this. In the previous plan, they were preparing to attack Rui Qinwang’s wallet. But the situation now wasn’t giving up on the former to execute the latter, clearly it was both sides compounding. Why must Rui Qinwang be this muddled, repeatedly provoking master. Speaking of which, this was also the tragedy of not knowing there’s a giant beast hiding in the dark.

Just, this way, the balance between Rui Qinwang and Kang Qinwang will shatter.

However, this wasn’t something An Yi needed to consider. He just needed to carry out Li Hong Yuan’s orders, that’s all. “Yes.”

The blueprint for the parts, Jing Wan didn’t completely draw out. She believed that with that intuitive rendering, the artisans below certainly will be able to complete it themselves. What she needed to confirm right now was just the position of this small scale playground. This was for her younger sisters to play with, and after constructing, there will certainly also be other little beansprouts. Will it be good to build on this estate? A certain someone’s sense of territory seemingly was a bit strong.

Jing Wan sent off the three little girls that were bursting with curiosity, turning around to look for Li Hong Yuan, inquiring his opinion.

“There’s nothing bad about it. Right now, you’re just building something for the children to play with, so it won’t touch upon any conflict of interest. Not long after, the others will all fight to imitate. It doesn’t matter even if you build a few more, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“True, and in a few more years, our child can also play.”

“Wan Wan sure thought far enough.” Li Hong Yuan softly chuckled carrying a bit of tease.

“What are you saying.” Wasn’t this something that was given? If she wants to monopolize this man, then naturally she’ll have the duty of giving birth to children for him. After all, in this place, how can a man not have an heir? No, this wasn’t just a duty. If their feelings are connected, then that child will just be the fruit of their love, the continuation of life.

As for how a certain someone will become the emperor, and might have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two imperial concubines, right now, she didn’t want to go think about those things that haven’t happened yet.

“What I’m saying, Wan Wan isn’t clear about?” Li Hong Yuan, seeing her somewhat annoyed, “Alright, won’t say anymore. Need to tell you something………..” Regarding the previous matter, he’d never planned on hiding from her.

Jing Wan slightly frowned. She was very clear, if this matter isn’t take care of well, the impact towards third brother will be very big. Perhaps it will ruin his future prospects, and towards the Luo family, this was also be the case, because this matter, no one will believe it was third brother’s doing alone.

“Don’t worry, there’s me for this matter. Telling you is just letting you have an understanding inside, that’s all, and not to let you be anxious and worried.” Li Hong Yuan used his finger to smooth her forehead, “If even one’s wife’s maiden all gets schemed to death, then this prince also doesn’t need to live anymore.”

Jing Wan was relieved. Indeed, there was him, and besides, even if it was her, this matter, she had no way of setting to the task. After all, the other party’s position was something she was unable to shake up.

However, she although can’t do anything, she can still come up with some ideas. Jing Wan contemplated. The best way to cover up rumors and slanders was just manufacturing an even more sensational rumor. Moreover, making false accusations, this kind of thing, wasn’t anyone’s unique skill.

“Didn’t I already say there’s me? This kind of thing, this prince was long bored of eight hundred years ago.”

Jing Wan sighed. Forget it, she’d best just play to the side. However, the drawings she previously did back in Qi’an Fu should be able to have some use. Just, in this case, some things need to be explained clearly. Having this kind of thought, Jing Wan no longer hesitated, telling Li Hong Yuan gongbi style in the very beginning originated from her hands.

Afterwards, she didn’t see on his face the slightest change.

“Ah Yuan seemingly isn’t surprised at all.” This was having long known already?

“Wan Wan is exceptionally intelligent, so no matter what you do, I all won’t be surprised.”

“Don’t give me a tall hat.” Although it came from her hands, it wasn’t invented by her. Just mentioning this already made one very much ashamed to show one’s face.

“Alright, won’t say anymore. ——–Just now, you said, the paintings in the past, including those discarded rough sketches, were all brought to the capital?”

“En, at the time, when leaving Qi’an Fu, grandmother said to bring them.”
