Chapter 470.1: Nearly Having A Heart Attack

Carrying this kind of tacit understanding, Li Hong Yuan really did nicely run around, thoroughly showing off in front of his wife. Just, he’d gone overboard with showing off. Not only did he not attract his wife’s adoring gaze, he instead nearly gave Jing Wan a heart attack.

This place, according to Jing Wan’s original design, aside from the dedicated first class race tracks, it also carried many characteristics of the equestrian clubs of her past life. That’s why, it naturally very much paid attention to safety. However, when actually standing there, watching her own husband change his clothes and show off in all kinds of ways, only then did she learn that certain areas have long been changed beyond recognition by a certain someone, or perhaps should say, having added quite a few things onto the original foundation. Never mind being safe, it was practically just synonymous with being alarming and thrilling. While watching, Jing Wan’s heart was all about to jump out.

Originally when coming over, she already wanted to say, this place, no matter how one looked, all didn’t look like horse track. Yet, turns out, this man simply never thought of wanting normal horse tracks.

The first time seeing his riding skills was the year before last during the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday banquet. Purely standing from the perspective of a spectator, one all felt the heart and soul shaking in alarm. Aside from that bit of concern that practically everyone would all have, she naturally was the same as the others, getting deeply won over, sighing in awe, Jin Qinwang’s riding skills were a bit too impressive.

But now? Compared to the Grand Elder Princess Manor’s winding corridors on water, fake mountains, and rocks hidden in the waters, this place that was specially design was much more complicated than that. For those that don’t have the mental fortitude afraid will have their eyes covered ninety-nine percent of the time, fearing that the person riding the horse will have an accident in the next moment, dying on the spot.

Jing Wan was no longer purely just a spectator. The man that was ‘courting death’ was her husband, the person she cared about the most. On the spectator stand, her complexion was pale, tightly clutching the protective railing. Even if afraid to the extreme, she still fixedly watched without blinking. Many times, she wanted to open her mouth to let him stop, but in the end, the words were all stuck in her throat, worrying that if they come out, it’ll divide his attention, instead causing an accident, to the extent that her lips were already bleeding from biting, and her heart madly racing at high-speed……….

Once Li Hong Yuan finished and finally stopped, Jing Wan immediately ran over, madly scolding, “Li Hong Yuan, do you know what you were doing just now? Do you know how dangerous it was? With the slightest mishap, you might just lose your life, understand? Even if unhappy inside, still can’t vent like this. This isn’t venting, you’re just looking for death, you…………..”

Li Hong Yuan didn’t await his wife’s embrace, instead receiving a scolding, thus feeling a tiny bit upset inside. However, he also knew that she was worried, “Wan Wan, don’t worry, it’s fine, aren’t I perfectly fine? You need to trust me……….”

“By the time something happens, everything will be too late.” Jing Wan angrily roared, “Trust you, but can I trust a horse? Even if you can have a horse controlled like an extension of your hand, when doing something, there’s still the possibility of accidentally getting hurt. As the saying goes, ‘people can trip, horses can fall’, if by chance, if by chance…………..” Jing Wan was unable to continue, her tears falling like pearls, completely unable to be controlled, her body also beginning to uncontrollably tremble along with.

Jing Wan was originally a girl with a firm heart, very rarely crying. Occasionally when weak, she still wouldn’t cry this violently. How could Li Hong Yuan still be feeling upset inside. This was also his first time seeing her like this, frantically rushing to coax, “Wan Wan, don’t cry, don’t cry, this husband was wrong. In the future, won’t do it anymore. Wan Wan…………”

Jing Wan tearfully looked to him, “Wrong? Do you really know where you were wrong?” It’s not like Jing Wan was blind, unable to make out his indifference towards this kind of dangerous matter. Jing Wan really didn’t understand. As an esteemed and honorable wangye, how did he raise such a special hobby? It rather wasn’t like those people in a rebellious phase, purely looking for a stimulation. He seemingly always carried a certain confidence, “Ah Yuan, you may not be scared, not feeling it’s anything scary, but I will feel scared. Did you know that just now, I nearly got scared to death by you? Think about it from my perspective, if the one on the horse earlier was me, and the one standing to the side was you, how would you feel?”

How would he feel? Li Hong Yuan suddenly held her tightly, “Sorry, Wan Wan, this husband really was wrong.”

Jing Wan reached out to hug his waist, “You promised to grow old together. I don’t want some originally avoidable accidents appearing. I just want to be perfectly well with you. Even if it’s just quietly staying in a small piece of heaven and earth, it all won’t matter.”

“Sorry, Wan Wan, sorry, I won’t do it anymore, I promise, in the future, all won’t do it anymore.”

Jing Wan’s emotions finally calmed down after a long while. Afterwards, looking at this place, she found it exceptionally unpleasant, “The people the Ministry of Works sent, did water also enter their brains? Let them immediately come over and tear it down. If I were to see even the slightest bit left, then just prepare to go home and kneel on the washboard.” Jing Wan was purely just venting her anger on the innocent. She was a woman of the back manor, so naturally used such a method to punish. She couldn’t really do anything to them, so naturally it was just looking for their madams. This was practically the same as the living Enma’s certain methods.

Li Hong Yuan stood to the side. His hand behind his back unconsciously twitched. There was no need to go back home and kneel on some washboard. He can just help his wife deal with, completely not having the awareness that these people actually got implicated because of him.

Mu An stood to the side, not daring to say anything. It naturally was whatever wangfei says it is.

Jing Wan’s gaze was still somewhat chilly, “Mu An, has the funds for the horse tracks been paid off yet?”

“Replying to wangfei, there’s still a portion of the amount that hasn’t been settled with the Ministry of Works, probably about fifty thousand taels of silver.”

“Drag it out. If the Ministry of Works comes for the money, just directly tell them, this wangfei is displeased. Whenever one is happy again is when they will get it.” Her own husband, she couldn’t bear tormenting, so naturally it was just tormenting others.

“Can not give.” Just a few thousand taels of silver, Li Hong Yuan really could care less.

Jing Wan coldly casted him a glance.

The living Enma perceptively shut his mouth. This pot had already been thrown out. How stupid would he have to be to pick it up again.

In reality, the Ministry of Works have always liked building things for Jin Qinwang, mainly because Jin Qinwang was generous, and moreover, never delayed payments. That’s why everyone was all happy, even more eager than when building something for the Emperor. After all, if the Emperor wants to build something, it for the most part will all come from the state treasury. That was just needing to go through the Ministry of Revenue’s hands. The Ministry of Revenue, that was just a bunch of cheapskates, experts in delaying payments. They disliked dealing with them the most.

This time, Jing Wan further didn’t have any reason to speak of. Even though they were shouldering the pot for Jin Qinwang, but precisely because it was Jin Qinwang, they further didn’t have a place to go argue. That’s why, in the end, they could only pinch their nose and endure it. Afterwards, it was just waiting for Jin Wangfei’s anger to quell. A few thousand taels, for Li Hong Yuan, completely wasn’t anything, but for the people of the Ministry of Works, this wasn’t the case. There were that many working artisans, and although not necessarily all belonging to the Ministry of Works, but they ultimately accepted the job from the Ministry of Works, no?

However, Jing Wan wasn’t a harsh person, and also wasn’t the kind to just view money as a number. She understood the difficulties and hardships. That’s why, this money, even if delaying, won’t delay for too long either.
