The people watching outside, after the initial fright, gradually produced a kind of taking pleasure at anotherâs misfortune feeling, especially those concubines of Kang Qinwang, regardless whether it was the ones that were against Yao Rao, or the ones that tried to curry favor with her and adhere to her in order to survive.
In reality, the more they fawned over her in the beginning, the more elated they felt at this time.
They all relied on the same man to survive. His love determined their position. There were this many people in the rear court, yet Yao Rao alone just monopolized over half the pampering. That tiny bit remaining, some people werenât even able to occupy the slightest bit of over two three months, so how can they not resent out of jealousy? Sometimes, after finally receiving that tiny bit, they would even get cut off halfway. Many things were smashed, and many handkerchiefs were torn. They believed that their beauty and talents all werenât inferior to Yao Rao, so why her, why herâ¦â¦â¦â¦..
After this, even if wangye doesnât put her to death, they still refused to believe that he can still pamper her like before.
For instance, a woman coming from the brothels, when still in the profession, regardless of how fickle and frivolous you are, once âmarriedâ, you can no longer have any relation with any other man aside from your own husband. Even if itâs just getting seen, not even getting touched, it was all similarly unforgivable. Yao Rao was completely like so. This not only concerned her âpurityâ, but also concerned Kang Qinwangâs face. If Kang Qinwang, when facing this kind of situation, can still easily put down, probably everyone will all have to praise him for having âgood toleranceâ.
Kang Qinwangâs side consort pensively glanced at Jing Wan, yet neither questioned nor asked. In any case, towards Li Hong Yi, this person, she has never been optimistic towards, and has never once cared about before. She has never thought of wanting her own child, not just because of the child left behind by her older sister, but further because she herself didnât want to give birth to one for that man. Every time the matter of children gets mentioned, the people of her maiden family all say sheâs a sensible one, understanding the bigger picture, but in reality, that was just a joke.
They say that in the future, when the child grows up, he will naturally be filial to her, having her viewed the same as his birth mother. She will be the most honorable woman in the world. Although it wasnât bluntly stated, the meaning still couldnât be more obvious. She actually very much wanted to say, they thought too much. Just someone like Li Hong Yi, even if ascending onto that position, he still wonât last long, and his ultimate end will be countless times more miserable than directly not sitting onto that position. Moreover, some words, oneâs own family may be saying, but in other families, donât know many times the same words have been repeated. It was boring just thinking about it. The one that can truly walk to that step, no one knows. Perhaps itâll be the most inconspicuous one, or perhaps the most unexpected one.
For her, wholeheartedly having her older sisterâs child raised to adulthood was enough, and can also be considered to have paid back her sisterâs affections. If thereâs a next life, letâs not be sisters anymore. As for the rest, whether or not the child she raised to adulthood will be filial to her, it was actually irrelevant. She simply didnât care.
Of the people present, the one that had the greatest reaction was still Kang Qinwangâs personal attendant, literally shaking all over. Never mind that he didnât complete his task, it even escalated into this present situation. He can already imagine, his own master, under thundering rage, having him chopped into pieces. In his mind, what was left was just these, repeating again and againâ¦â¦â¦â¦..
Kang Qinwang Manorâs gates got blocked by Jin Qinwang Manorâs guards, so if itâs wanting to use the entrance to go report, it was just wishful thinking, but the other gates werenât a problem. After all, Jing Wan doing this, simply never planned on just coming and then soundlessly leaving, and afterwards, wait for Kang Qinwang to come to Jin Qinwang Manor to cause a ruckus. For troublesome matters, it was still best to settle in someone elseâs home.
Thatâs why, Jing Wan this while was calmly waiting for Kang Qinwang to return.
Jing Wanâs jealous wife reputation right now was quite big. Even Kang Qinwangâs side consort who never goes out also heard of it to some extent. In the past, Gong Wangfei was once considered one of the rather impressive ones among the imperial family daughter-in-laws, but now, comparing with Jin Wangfei, that was really apprentice meets master, completely not of the same level. After all, those things that Gong Wangfei did were far from the level of âcleanly disposing all at onceâ. It was mostly just lashing out in her own rear court. Towards the outside, she still needed to pretend that everything is well. This one however practically made it known to all, yet still completely fearless.
Right now, doing such an infuriating thing in Kang Qinwang Manor, yet still full of smiles, not the least bit guilty, seemingly as if merely having done something ordinary like drinking water. Everything else aside, just this composure was already difficult to achieve for ordinary people, very much worth studying.
And on the other side, a guard from Kang Qinwang Manor practically rushed to ninth wangyeâs manor in the quickest speed. Even in this kind of weather, it was still getting covered in sweat.
When he got brought in, the grown princes were all present, accompanied by beauties, merrily drinking and chatting. Of course, not every single person all had a beauty by the side.
When Kang Qinwang saw his own manorâs guard, and even with an unsightly look, gasping for breath, he momentarily felt somewhat embarrassed, his complexion instantly darkening. âBeing this flustered, how is it appropriate?!â
The guard steadied his breathing, âWangye, that, Jin Wangfeiâ¦â¦â¦..â He subconsciously glanced at Li Hong Yuan.
Everyone instantly understood inside. Nine times out of ten, it was just Jin Wangfei causing a ruckus again. Each and every one all carried a smile as they looked towards Li Hong Yuan. On their face it didnât show, but who knows how much they were mocking on the inside. In contrast, Li Hong Yuan was still like that, contently drinking his wine, not having the slightest ripple. Although he still didnât know what exactly his wife did, but he was very clear inside that if this matter gets prodded out, the one that will be laughed at wonât be him. From the looks of it, it should be quite serious. Li Hong Yuan just felt even more elated, and him sitting here in boredom, waiting for a good play, wasnât in vain either. After all, if switched with the past, even if accepting a certain brotherâs invitation, to be able to come and drink a few cups of wine was already not bad.
âWhat are you stuttering for? If thereâs something to say, directly say it. Everyone here is this princeâs brother, so nothing to hide. Right, old six?â
Li Hong Yuan played with the little jade cup in hand, vaguely smiling, âIndeed.â
Kang Qinwangâs heart strangely jumped, seemingly having a bad premonition. However, thinking it over, at most it was probably just that sixth sister-in-law getting angry and lashing out, so how bad can it be? Thus, he insisted on letting that guard have the matter said out loud, not allowing him to leave out anything.
The guard had no other choice, and could only harden his head and pour everything out like popping peas. His speed was quite fast, and to explain the matter briefly, it was actually just a matter of a few words.
When he finished, the sound of a needle falling could be heard. Afterwards, Kang Qinwang directly exploded, having the beauty his arms thrown aside, kicking over the low table in front. He looked to Li Hong Yuan with a dark expression. Seeing Li Hong Yuan like that, he even began to suspect whether he just knew from the start. However, him wanting to send people, this matter, prior to sending, no one knew. Thatâs why, this possibility shouldnât exist. Moreover, recalling Li Hong Yuanâs ruthlessness, and the pain of nearly getting his spine broken by him, he naturally didnât dare to lash out at him. âWhere is Jin Wangfei right now?â
âReplying to wangye, still at the manor.â
Kang Qinwang although didnât dare to challenge Li Hong Yuan, he still had the guts to say a few words, âSixth brother, from the looks of it, is quite âlacking in authorityâ as the husband.â That taunting manner wasnât concealed in the slightest.
âWhere do these words come from? The one that angered this princeâs wangfei is eldest imperial brother, and not this prince. When eldest imperial brother wanted to send the people, this prince already wanted to warn you. Those beauties, this prince isnât interested in, itâs best for you to not send to Jin Qinwang Manor. It was you that didnât listen, and now, itâs merely just having them sent back, whatâs the big deal?â
Not that big of a deal? Having his beloved concubine and a man stripped naked and thrown together, that was called not that big of a deal? Li Hong Yuan, this bastard, didnât have him taken seriously, stepping on his face however he pleased, and now, even a mere woman dared to treat him as such! Kang Qinwang carried a malevolent expression, storming off in a huff.
Li Hong Yuan also got up shortly after. What kind of temper Li Hong Yi had, he knew. Li Hong Yuan worried that he will act out rashly, as such, Wan Wan might get touched. Of course, he didnât believe that Wan Wan will suffer a loss. If they were to let their own female master get hurt, then those guards didnât need to stay in their positions anymore. However, knowing was one thing. On the inside, he will still worry, and must be present in order to personally protect.
And for the others, this was just a good play. To not watch would be a waste, and can even find some amusement in this. Thus, they all got up and followed out.
When these men reached Kang Qinwang Manorâs garden, Jing Wan and Kang Qinwangâs side consort were still happily chatting and drinking tea.
Seeing the angrily approaching Kang Qinwang, Jing Wan leisurely got up, and the others greeted along with her.
Kang Qinwang didnât call to rise, yet Jing Wan very perceptively stood upright. The corner of her lips carried a shallow smile, yet her eyes didnât have any warmth, âKang Qinwang returned a bit slower than expected. Fortunately, Kang Qinwang Manor isnât completely unpleasant to the eyes, else it would really make one very annoyed from waiting.â
Once these words came out, quite a few people all inhaled a cold breath. In fact, quite a few all inwardly exclaimed, as expected of the same people entering the same family. This aggressiveness rivaled Jin Qinwangâs.
Kang Qinwangâs face all twisted, clearly restraining the impulse to hit her.
âToday, came to Kang Qinwang Manor so as to let Kang Qinwang know, unless itâs our wangye personally opening his mouth to ask for the person, otherwise sending people like this, just save it.â
âThis guts of sixth sister-in-lawâs rather makes one surprised. When all is said and done, you are nothing more than a daughter-in-law of the Li clan. The husband guides the wife, the three obediences four virtuesâ¦â¦â¦â¦..â
Jing Wan suddenly laughed, interrupting Kang Qinwang, her face instantly turning cold, âKang Qinwang sending a man to your younger brotherâs rear court, what, this is wanting to mess up your younger brotherâs rear court? Should one go to her Highness the Empress to reason with, or directly look for imperial father?â
This accusation was a bit serious. Kang Qinwang angrily gritted his teeth, âA catamite can also be considered man?â
Jing Wan clapped her hands and laughed, âSince Kang Qinwang said so, then thereâs no problem. Mama, go, have a few more of Kang Qinwangâs concubines sent in. Catamites and concubines all one family, serving Kang Qinwang together. Presumably, in Kang Qinwangâs eyes, it must be a wonderful thing.â
âYes, wangfei.â Gong mama, towards her own masterâs words, that was unconditionally carrying out.
