Chapter 381.3: Leaving Unsettled, Illness

That’s why, back and forth, the most severe problem here seemingly was just the di eldest imperial grandson nearly losing his hearing, but now, he has already received treatment, and can fully recover. The main culprit was Kang Qinwang, and Le Cheng Emperor has already dished out a portion of the punishment. What will happen afterwards, only time will tell. And Jin Wangfei’s matter, appears to be very serious, but just as she herself said, even Jin Qinwang didn’t say anything, so what were others getting involved for? Even if she has faults, but if even Le Cheng Emperor doesn’t have any movements, then no matter how others bounce around, it’s all useless.

The various sides simultaneously making a move, exactly what was it for?

After Luo Old Madam left the palace, she didn’t directly return to the Luo Manor, but rather took a detour to Jin Qinwang Manor. Although she knew Jing Wan handled matters within a controllable range, and with Jin Qinwang holding ground from behind, nothing bad will happen, but with incident after incident popping up from time to time, it still made her can’t help but worry.

Luo Old Madam going to Jin Qinwang Manor didn’t really require a visiting card. The front gate had the person deferentially welcomed in, and the inside quickly sent someone to go report to Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan.

Speaking of which, this was actually Luo Old Madam’s first time entering Jin Qinwang Manor. Everything else aside, just looking at the overall layout, she can tell Jin Qinwang’s attentiveness towards her own granddaughter.

In Luo Old Madam’s eyes, as long as their relationship is good, having some more random matters appear actually wasn’t anything. In just this bit of time, she already decided that she won’t question what exactly they were doing.

When Jing Wan saw Luo Old Madam, she just quickly went forward to welcome. Etiquette and whatnot, not needed, both sides were exempted.

Li Hong Yuan although was a super vinegar jar, he wouldn’t go as far as to not leave even this bit of space for Jing Wan. After speaking a few words with Luo Old Madam, he just turned and left. Don’t look at how he’s very idle all day and every day, in reality, he had a lot of matters to handle, but if he had to personally handle every little thing, then not even twenty-four hours every day would be enough.

Jing Wan was able to guess her own grandmother’s purpose in visiting, but at the moment, her grandmother didn’t mention a single word of it, thus Jing Wan didn’t voluntarily mention either.

Jing Wan coiled around Luo Old Madam’s arm, taking her to stroll the garden, “…………….There’s quite a few rare and valuable breeds in the manor. Some can undergo stem division, and for others, seeds have been gathered. When spring comes next year, should be able to obtain some new plants. When time comes, I’ll send a few more pots for grandfather.”

“What are you bothering with him for? If he really gets these plants and flowers from you, who knows how he will show off to others.”

Jing Wan softly chuckled, “Speaking of which, grandfather doesn’t have any other. What he likes just so happens to be what I’m good at. All say the elderly are like children, the more they regress the older they get. On important matters, grandfather has never been careless, so showing off some plants and flowers is harmless.”

“It is indeed this reasoning, thus I’m too lazy to bother with him. He can just do whatever he please.”

“Grandmother also doesn’t need to worry about me, there’s wangye for everything. Based on my personality, quietly living out one’s own life would be the best. For some things, it’s actually better to not say.” If more was said, it would just be helplessness remaining.

How could Luo Old Madam not understand. Jing Wan wasn’t one to look for trouble, and Jin Qinwang Manor was also clean. She completely didn’t need to stir up trouble for others.

All the unspoken words, Luo Old Madam for the most part understood. However, her thoughts may have deviated a bit. In her eyes, it was completely just Li Hong Yuan wanting to let everyone’s gaze all gather on Jing Wan, so that he can more conveniently do some things in the dark. Even if having Jing Wan protected very well, not letting her be harmed, Luo Old Madam still was a bit unsatisfied inside.

Jing Wan didn’t know what Luo Old Madam was thinking, so naturally didn’t explain. Because even if said, others may not necessarily believe. Just because of wanting to see his own wife similarly care about him very much, and moreover, saying with the mouth wasn’t enough, even needing to do something to prove, such childishness that made one speechless, ordinary people was able to accomplish, yet Li Hong Yuan was even bold and confident about it. Her own husband ‘having issues’, this kind of thing, it was better to not let outsiders know.

As for what Luo Old Madam assumed…………..

As Luo Old Madam was leaving, Li Hong Yuan came out see her off. This was actually a bit outside of Luo Old Madam’s expectations. After all, the other party was a qinwang. He completely didn’t need to do this, but she instantly understood the reasoning within. In the end, it was still because of Jing Wan. The dissatisfaction from before actually dispelled a little. However, she still looked for an excuse to have Jing Wan sent away.

How can Jing Wan not understand, naturally being very cooperative.

“Wangye had let Jing Wan create a disturbance, and regardless of what wangye’s true goal is in the end, all hope that you can ensure Wan Wan’s absolute safety. Because of you, she now bears a bad reputation, so hope that you won’t betray her feelings. If from the start, she never obtained, then it wouldn’t be anything. But to have obtained, then lose, that will inevitably be an extremely painful thing. This subject is very clear, wangye definitely isn’t a good person, nor one to heavily value compassion, but since you have given Wan Wan a share of warmth that others don’t have, then regardless of whether the dream you once mentioned is real or fake, it just means that to you, she is indeed different from others. This subject hopes that these feelings can continue forever, even if a lie, still asking you to deceive her a little longer. It’s best for it to last an entire lifetime.”

Li Hong Yuan quietly listened to Luo Old Madam finish speaking. Luo Old Madam’s doubts towards him, he all didn’t take to heart. What he cared about was forever just Jing Wan’s thoughts alone. And the things Luo Old Madam assumed, it wasn’t completely wrong either. Just, that was nothing more than something he did in passing, because the northeast border town will soon have a great battle break out this winter.

Secretly increasing the military supplies wasn’t a simple matter. Although it was already more or less enough, to have yet reach the last step, one all can’t relax. If even the slightest slip-up were to happen, his arrangements might get exposed and fall through. Forcibly taking the throne now wasn’t impossible, but it wasn’t a good time. Once there’s internal turmoil, while also facing the chaos of war externally, then troublesome matters will just increase.

Leaving this matter aside, he’d already predicted that the battle might get shifted ahead of time to this year, and because he and Jing Wan had stayed in Jiangnan, he thus made more arrangements. Looking at the current situation, the time in which the battle will break out, for the most part, will match with his past life. For it to push back again was absolutely impossible. After all, he, Li Hong Yuan, was also just a mortal, and not a god. For him to be able to control this year’s situation, and even something that was closely tied to another country, it was already not bad.

In his past life, Fu Yun Ting held on for an entire year, yet in the end, fell at the hands of his own people. Li Hong Yuan wanting to save the lives of the three hundred thousand soldiers, it wasn’t something that can be accomplished by just opening his mouth. Moreover, the matter of his old man insisting on exterminating Fu Yun Ting’s entire family, to this day, he still didn’t have any leads, of course, not ruling out the factor of Li Hong Yuan not diligently investigating this matter.

These things all needed to be carried out in the dark. That’s why, having someone divert the attention naturally was for the best. Even if not his own wife, he would still additionally stir up trouble. But because the things Jing Wan did coincidentally matched in timing, he thus didn’t separately make arrangements.

Don’t say something like Li Hong Yuan was a ‘idle prince’, so no one paid attention to him. In reality, the things he did, some corners were already exposing. After all, it has already been several years. If it really didn’t get detected in the slightest by others, then his opponents really were a bunch of idiots. At present, they still haven’t investigated onto him, but as the saying goes, just afraid of that one in ten thousand chance. Having someone mess up the line of sight was perfect. After all, he, Li Hong Yuan, having such a troublesome wife, although won’t dispel certain suspicions, the wariness will still get reduced.

As such, Li Hong Yuan didn’t deny Luo Old Madam’s views, “No matter how much is said, it’s still just empty promises. Old madam can just watch for now. As such, you need to live a long life. Wan Wan’s thoughts are also nothing more than this.”

“I, this old woman, at present, is actually quite well. Wangye and wangfei don’t need to worry.”

“As such, it can’t be better.”

Jing Wan ‘aptly’ appeared, and afterwards, had Luo Old Madam sent out of the manor. Of course, the things she prepared similarly weren’t few. For instance, among the apology gift from the He family, there were quite a few good medicinal ingredients, just dividing out half. Even the palace didn’t get a share. However, presumably, what the He family prepared for Le Cheng Emperor certainly was even more.

T/N: Reading the author’s broken grammar and trying to form a sentence out of it at 4am is such a painful task.
