Chapter 497.3: Quarrel, Malicious Scheme

Rui Wangfei looking for Jing Wan, that was indeed just for the sake of chatting. The reason why she looked for Jing Wan and not someone else was because this sixth sister-in-law lived the most carefree. Setting aside the various grudges between them, her personality in itself was actually quite likable.

It’s not that Rui Wangfei wasn’t jealous of Jing Wan. In the past, it was so, and now, it was still so. However, it was also just a thought, that’s all. She won’t, because of this, just do something. Right now, perhaps it was even more complicated, because right now, seeing this sixth sister-in-law smiling like a flower, seeing her brows, no matter when, always smoothed out, her face dyed with a rosy red, her complexion very good, her(Rui Wangfei) own mood would also improve along with. Rui Wangfei stroked her own stomach, saying with a smile, “This child in the future certainly will like sixth sister-in-law.”

Jing Wan smilingly lifted her brow, “What does third sister-in-law mean by this?”

“Because, when still in the stomach, just your presence alone is all able to let his mother’s mood improve along with.”

What was she getting at with this? But immediately after, Jing Wan just smiled. It was just casually chatting, so why the need to think about that much. Even if there is some sort of purpose, at most, it’s just countering every move, “Third sister-in-law’s words, en, one quite likes.”

“Rather hope that this child can also win sixth sister-in-law’s liking.” Rui Wangfei stroked her stomach again, saying with a smile, “Good child, in the future, you need to nicely win your third aunt’s favor. Your third aunt has many treasures in her hand. If you win her favor, don’t know how many good things you will receive.”

Jing Wan didn’t really want to think too much, but unfortunately, this third sister-in-law didn’t spare one from worries. Can’t they just chat nicely?

Rui Wangfei stayed at Jing Wan’s place for two whole hours. At first, it was just sitting, but afterwards, she also pulled along Jing Wan to stroll around.

In any case, on normal days, it was also like this, so Jing Wan didn’t mind, just there were many plants and flowers around the estate. There were some, where if in contact with too long, will make one feel uncomfortable. Towards a pregnant woman, one absolutely can’t be careless, thus she directly explained to her.

Rui Wangfei wasn’t stubborn either, just strolling around those places that was absolutely safe to go. That attitude really was just like the most ordinary zhouli. Jing Wan was also able to clearly sense that Rui Wangfei was incomparably relaxed.

After having the person sent away, Jing Wan quietly stood in place for a while. In the end, she still gave up. Why go exhaust oneself like that? Whenever someone was the slightest bit puzzling, one all needed to go understand all the twist and turns in the matter, then wouldn’t one tire oneself to death?

Rui Wangfei really did as she said she would, reporting to Jing Wan’s place every couple of days. She’d already said that she was going to be thick-skinned for once, so what else can you say?

Just, once or twice was still okay, but as the number of times increased, taking up more and more of Jing Wan’s time, the living Enma expressed he was unhappy. But, he ultimately was a grown man, so can he even bicker with a pregnant woman? Since he couldn’t do anything directly, he just let someone ‘look for something’ for Jing Wan to do, letting the tactless person be a bit more tactful.

Every time getting called away, Jing Wan’s so called matter was just going to see a certain someone, having Rui Wangfei left on her own.

Jing Wan was between laughter and tears. Already said that this man was childish, yet still unwilling to admit. Alright, these words, she has never said to his face before either.

As the number of times increased, Rui Wangfei also came to realization, especially when often times, this sixth sister-in-law’s face would carry the colors of spring, so how could she not understand. Covering her mouth and laughing, “If sixth sister-in-law is busy, no need to bother with me, really.”

That ‘busy’ was especially emphasized on. This was clearly getting found out. Jing Wan subconsciously touched her face, suspecting whether or not a certain someone left a mark in an obvious place on her, inwardly scolding him. Shortly after, seeing Rui Wangfei laughing even more teasingly, even if her face was already much thicker than before, she still couldn’t help but blush.

“Sixth sister-in-law doesn’t need to be embarrassed either. For others, even if they want to be like this, that is all just extravagant dreams. I am also very envious. I know that always coming to bother isn’t good, but I have nowhere else to go. Staying in my own estate, getting surrounded by a bunch of people all day long, having everything within a hand’s reach, truly is terribly annoying. Other places, afraid, no matter where I go, those people will follow, and only Jin Qinwang’s place, they don’t dare to follow. That’s why, I decided to shamelessly linger at sixth sister-in-law’s place. That estate next to yours also works, just there’s too many people, fearing that an accident may occur. That’s why, even if getting disdained, probably will still continue bothering sixth sister-in-law. However, you indeed don’t need to entertain me. I’m just going to sit for a while and walk around. When time comes, I will leave on my own.”

“Third sister-in-law is too serious, it’s not that long either. I’m also very idle every day normally. If you feel staying here is more comfortable, then staying a little longer is also fine.” Jing Wan felt that her own heart really was beginning to harden. Right now they were speaking with smiles, but in the future, how it should be similarly will be how it will be, and she won’t be softhearted towards this woman either.

Rui Wangfei nodded.

Speaking of which, Rui Wangfei’s words weren’t kept from the people by her side either. One has to know, among those people, there weren’t just people Rui Qinwang sent, but also people sent by Noble Consort Su. It wasn’t because of being unable to see Rui Wangfei, thus sending them, but rather from the start of Rui Wangfei’s pregnancy, they were already serving by her side.

Right now, those two both were unable to see Rui Wangfei, so to want to hear her news, it can only be done through the people by her side passing the message. If they were to learn of Rui Wangfei’s recent behavior, as well as these words she just said, don’t know what kind of expression they will have. Jing Wan, in Noble Consort Su’s eyes, can be considered the thorn in her flesh, and her certain views towards Li Hong Yuan that were buried very very deeply in her heart in the past, deep to the point where even she herself couldn’t detect, at present, have also become increasingly clear. When once again meeting Li Hong Yuan, perhaps she won’t even be able to conceal anymore.

Afterwards, the number of times Rui Wangfei came to look for Jing Wan still decreased, but it absolutely wasn’t never visiting again.

Certain things, Jing Wan also learned about one after another. This third sister-in-law seemingly was prepared to ‘break the cauldron and sink the boats[1]‘. Just, don’t know whether or not this kind of attitude of hers will affect their later plans.

“No need to worry. Even if she ‘breaks the cauldron and sink the boats’, it also won’t have any outcome. Everything else aside, just on Li Hong Ming’s side, she certainly won’t be able to get through. Moreover, in the end, she still cares about her own two daughters. If unable to change anything, yet instead have herself thrown in first, her two daughters afraid won’t be able to survive. Right now, it’s mostly still just living by the moment.”

“A woman’s thoughts, Ah Yuan similarly grasps this clearly. Sure enough, it’s because of going through countless women?”

“Not because of going through countless women, but rather because one has a hard to predict wangfei at home. After going through long periods of hard work, for better or worse, one is able to grasp a little. Afterwards, it’s practically just comprehending by analogy. Other women, practically can understand at a glance. Of course, towards one’s own wangfei, occasionally still bounded by the hands, so still need to continue working hard.”

Jing Wan wasn’t angry either, “Ah Yuan is actually talking about yourself, right?”

“I’m like this in Wan Wan’s heart? Having deep thoughts and hard to grasp?”

“Ah Yuan is very much self-aware.”

“What to do, this husband feels, in front of Wan Wan, one can’t be more honest, so how come still hard to grasp? Unless…………”

“What?” Jing Wan subconsciously responded.

Li Hong Yuan’s smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes, “Sure enough, Wan Wan is still too stupid.”

Jing Wan’s face once again darkened. How come she would always forget? Every time at times like this, she should be vigilant, yet she would still fall for it every time. It was like this every time. Sure enough, she was a stupid one. Jing Wan swung her arm and left, too infuriating.

Gong mama watched, also just helplessly shaking her head. Speaking of which, every time wangfei got ‘bullied’, aside from being young and not having enough composure, most importantly, it was still because she indulged wangye as such. Think back to the beginning of their marriage, when was wangye ever this ‘unbridled’. However, this was purely ‘one willing to hit, and one willing to take it’, so others were unable to say anything. However, if outsiders were to see, many women would all be willing to get bullied as such every day.

All the way until the end of the eighth month, Li Hong Yuan finally let Jing Wan pack up, preparing to return to the manor. Counting the time, they’ve stayed at the estate for about fourth months already.
