Chapter 338.1: Having Waited for a Long time

No matter how arrogant the Pei clan was, and no matter how much the Pei clan leader madam wanted to meet this outer grandson, they still needed to conduct according to the rules, properly sending in a visiting card.

Speaking of which, never mind being the maternal grandmother and what not, they didn’t even have that bit of special honor that Min Yu Han had. Min Yu Han personally bringing the visitation card to the door, as long as Li Hong Yuan sees the card, he’ll be able to meet with the person shortly after, but can the Pei clan leader madam do the same? Of course not. Moreover, the signature on the invitation card in the end wasn’t even hers. When she can meet him, still depended on Li Hong Yuan’s mood.

In this current situation, the people that dared to send invitation cards to Li Hong Yuan really weren’t many. As such, it was very quickly delivered to Li Hong Yuan’s hand.

Li Hong Yuan held the card. The inscription was the Pei clan leader’s personal seal. With just one glance, he just casually threw out the visitation card. Clearly it was a bunch of women that came, so reasonably speaking, it should be sending a visitation card to his wangfei. To actually play tricks even at this time, stepping over his wangfei, wanting to directly meet with him, what kind of reasoning was this?

To put it lightly, that was just avoiding Jin Wangfei, and thereby achieving their secret goal. After all, sending a concubine, this kind of thing, although should be arranged by the main wife, but if one’s man has already agreed, can she even disagree? That’s why, as long as Li Hong Yuan agrees to leave behind the Pei clan daughters, no matter how unwilling Luo Jing Wan was, it was all futile.

And to put it severely, that was just looking down on a qin-wangfei that exceeded the ranks, looking down on the imperial family. It was still okay if they achieve their goal, but if not, and Jing Wan insists on looking into the matter, then the entire Pei clan all will have to suffer the consequences. No one in the Pei clan held an official post or noble title. They were all just ordinary commoners, so would only add to the offense.

Jing Wan naturally saw the card too, “Actually, I’ve always felt that the Pei clan leader is very strange. Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t be unable to see clearly the Pei clan’s current situation, but his actions and conduct are just like as if the Pei clan is still the number one influential family in name and in reality. Confidence, no, it should be conceitedness and arrogance. No matter how one looks, he all doesn’t seem like a stupid person, then exactly what was he relying on? Just like for instance, this time, he’s just this certain that you will accept the Pei clan daughters? Certain that I will endure in silence?”

“Whether or not he has a trump card in hand, we will know very soon. However, it might also just be that he’s viewing others from his own standpoint. As long as there’s enough benefits, women and whatnot, that’s just an object. He probably believes that to just refuse the enormous benefit brought about by this object because of not wanting this object is a very hard to believe matter. And someone who is able to do this kind of thing is certainly the stupidest kind.” Li Hong Yuan looked to Jing Wan with a vague smile, carrying a bit of tease.

“Wangye, this is calling yourself stupid? This is considered having self-awareness?” However, based on this man’s style, superfluous things, he will not want, but the benefits behind it, he will clutch in hand, just a prime example of a bandit’s logic, and also very much a bandit’s style. However, who let this be her own man. Even if his three views shatter into pieces, she would still feel he’s not doing anything wrong.

“This actually has nothing to do with being stupid or not. It’s mainly because there’s a fierce wife at home, fearing her like a tiger.” His wife was too strong, so no matter how much benefits there were, it can only move to the side.

Jing Wan lifted her brow. Since she has obtained a tangible benefit, then shouldering a bad reputation wasn’t anything, fierce wife and whatnot, so be it. “Since even wangye is saying it like this, then one should do a bit of something, letting the name match the reality. The concubines offered up, this wife will work hard and help you deal with.”

“This kind of thing, naturally should be the wife’s job to handle. Could it be that Wan Wan originally even planned on watching with folded arms?” His wife’s realization still wasn’t enough, need to instruct some more.

“Husband is thinking too much, I simply don’t plan on letting you meet them.” Jing Wan charmingly smiled. Any signs of possibly letting his snake disease act up all need to be extinguished, extinguished, and extinguished!

“As such, it can’t be better.”

Since this matter, she had the full authority to handle, Jing Wan naturally prepared to give them the cold-shoulder for a few days. And as such, she naturally won’t immediately tell the other party, letting the other party know when to visit. Only by indefinitely waiting can it make one’s heart anxious. To have delusions towards her husband, attempting to destroy her family and happiness, treating these kinds of people, how could she, just because they have blood relation with Li Hong Yuan, just be soft and lenient?

Jing Wan may say she won’t be soft and lenient, yet it was also just having them ignored. What did this count as?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Hong Yuan inwardly sighed. With this personality of Wan Wan’s, as long as outsiders haven’t actually done anything substantial, her heart probably will never harden. If switch with others, when clearly knowing the situation, they would’ve long done a bit of something. Just like for instance, ruining the other party’s reputation and whatnot, all were the most simple methods. Especially given that the Pei clan didn’t want to let anyone know what they were doing, one should further stomp with all one’s might on this bit. Wan Wan probably never even thought of this bit.

Li Hong Yuan stared at Jing Wan who was lazily nestled in his arms, reaching out to stroke her hair. Forget it, it’s not like he wasn’t able to shield her, so there was no need to force her on this kind of small matter. Change in temperament usually was accompanied by great misfortune. That kind of thing, Li Hong Yuan didn’t want Jing Wan to experience either. Once was already enough, although that only existed in his memories, and Wan Wan herself doesn’t know. If something similar were to happen once more, he a hundred percent would go crazy, and afterwards, drag the entire world to the grave altogether.

It’s enough as long as his darling was happy.

Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan naturally were content with their days, but for the Pei clan leader madam as well as the six Pei clan young ladies, it just wasn’t that peaceful. The other three young ladies have already learned their purpose in coming to Chuanzhou Fu. Since the matter concerned one’s marriage, it was very difficult for one to remain indifferent.

Pei Xiu Ying appeared the most compose, as if this matter simply had nothing to do with her, but the twin sisters who were very knowledgable towards her nevertheless disdainfully snorted. Keep pretending! If you really don’t care, then the frequency in fiddling with the qin and such wouldn’t be this high. And after going through two days of contemplation, the two of them also weren’t as despairing as in the very beginning. On the contrary, they even added an ambitious vigor. The other three also had certain determination. They were two shu-born and one di-born. The di-born one, her father was also just a shu-born, and in the Pei clan main residence, similarly didn’t have any status. In the future, even if able to marry as a di wife, and even if the man was also from an influential family, in the family clan, he certainly would also be the kind without status and power. Rather than marrying that kind of person and live a boring life with plain tea and simple food, it was better to take a gamble. Perhaps might even reach the heavens in the single step, and be incomparably glorious.

That’s right, not every person of a large influential family would all look down on the ‘newly rich’ as well as the imperial family. Their mouths perhaps would agree with others, but their thoughts inside completely weren’t like that.

The Pei clan leader madam further didn’t need to be mentioned. What she was truly fretful about was still her outer grandson. Reasonably speaking, he should already know about his relationship with the Pei clan. However, the visitation card the Pei clan sent over has yet to see a reply. Did he resent inside? Was it that he simply didn’t want to meet with the people of the Pei clan?

Afterwards, not at all surprisingly, she recalled that year when her daughter left the family clan, that kind ‘no sorrow greater than a withered heart’ look. The more she thought, the more she blamed herself, and the more she blamed herself, the more painful it felt, to the extent that she nearly fell ill. However, because she still hasn’t seen Li Hong Yuan, she supported herself with this one breath.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones that were fretful. There was also those accompanying officials from the capital. In Kaiming Fu, they’d gotten distributed, sending to the various areas of Jiangnan. At the time, they felt that this was exactly what they wanted, hurriedly rushing over, helping to clean up and erase the evidence. But Jin Qinwang didn’t act according to common sense, so this kind of deed didn’t have the slightest use. Perhaps, it might even leave behind incriminating evidence for oneself. Moreover, after getting summoned back, that meaningful gaze of Jin Qinwang’s kept making one feel anxious and restless. Right now, they were temporarily put in charge of Shannan Prefecture’s governmental affairs, but each and every one were all stretched tight, not daring to have any movement, fearing that in the next moment, the black clad guards will just appear before oneself.

For the assignment this time, there wasn’t anyone more suitable as the imperial envoy than Jin Qinwang. This really wasn’t the least bit false. From top to bottom, which one wasn’t sorted out until they were obedient?

Because the ordinary commoners were also greatly affected, Jing Wan propose to go out for a stroll, not saying with great fanfare, but definitely not low-key either. Mainly it was for the sake of telling the people, Chuanzhou Fu’s sky still hasn’t collapsed, and the earth hasn’t crumbled. The ones in trouble were also just the officials, nothing to do with ordinary people.

How these people were, Li Hong Yuan didn’t have the energy to care. Once time passes, or at worst, once they return to the capital, things naturally will return to normal. However, purely accompanying his wife out to play, he was still very willing. During these days, the living survey map, Sir Shi, also wasn’t idle, but in this city, not having him as a ‘guide’ also wasn’t a problem.

Because of having a particular purpose, they naturally didn’t head to relatively special places. It was probably just heading to wherever it was bustling, and wherever it was lively.

Jing Wan and them, although were dressed relatively casually, but Yu Zhong Qing, and Li Su Yan and them weren’t dressed casually at all, directly just donning the court attire, the blade at the waist not leaving the hand. That military might wasn’t just a tiny bit. In the very beginning, for anyone that saw, all hurriedly withdrew, fearing that they would bump into them.
