Chapter 78.3 – Cursing Ren Wang In Anger (3)
“Ren Wang, no one said people that grow up in a farming village don’t know anything, right?” Du Xiao Li looked to
Han Ming Hong, feeling her eyes extremely blocked. And hearing his words, she further felt uncomfortable.
“Besides, right now, many people that grew up in a village have also become our Feng Ming’s talented pillars. Ren
Wang isn’t looking down on these people right?”
Du Xiao Li’s words made Han Ming Hong unsure how to reply, because her words weren’t wrong at all. Right now,
quite a few officials were all of farmer or merchant background, and because of the imperial exam walked on the
path of officialdom. Among them, there was no lack of capable people. That’s why Du Xiao Li knowing these things
wasn’t all that strange. But in the beginning, why did she pretend to not know anything?!
It was all her fault. If not for her, he wouldn’t have broken off the engagement, and Han Ming Yi wouldn’t have
possibly taken advantage of the situation and entered either, letting the Emperor issue a marriage decree for the two
of them. And he wouldn’t have because of this, missed her!
Thinking of these things, Han Ming Hong tightly clenched his fist.
“Du Xiao Li, who all did you learn these things from?” Han Ming Ze curiously asked.
“Your Majesty, as you already know, Niu Jing is my senior brother. These medical skills of mine naturally were all
learned from his place at a young age. At the time, Ding Wang even watched me study how to differentiate medical
herbs.” Du Xiao Li continued.
“Is it that place you went to treat your illness at in the past?” Han Ming Ze looked to Han Ming Yi and asked.
Han Ming Yi nodded.
“So you already knew her?” Han Ming Hong skeptically questioned.
“Li’er and I already knowing each other, Ren Wang do you have any objections?” Han Ming Yi asked with a cold
face. Seeing the look he gave Du Xiao Li, the vicious air around him uncontrollably wanted to spread out!
“Everything was all schemed by you? It was you that deliberately let Xiao Li pretend to not know anything, and
then let me go break off the engagement, while you seize the opportunity to let his Majesty decree the marriage,
right? Han Ming Yi, you are so despicable!” Han Ming Hong said it clear and logically, feeling everything was just
like how he’d thought it to be. It was all Han Ming Yi and Du Xiao Li joining together and deceiving him that
brought about this result today.
“Ren Wang is really funny. At the time, who came to the Du Manor with an ‘engagement breaking letter’ and said
I’m not worthy of you? And who was it that said to my second sister that you like her and will marry her no matter
what?” Du Xiao Li laughed in anger at Han Ming Hong’s words, looking to him and asking, “Asking Ren Wang, at
the time, who held a knife to your neck, forcing you to do this?”
“I…….” Han Ming Hong shrunk under Du Xiao Li’s gaze. Those decisions were indeed made by him, “At the time,
wasn’t I deceived by the rumors?”
“Hmph, just a word of ‘got deceived’ can cover up your aim? At the time, didn’t you feel that since I came from a
farming village, I wasn’t worthy of you? Originally when you broke off the engagement, did you ever think of what
kind of humiliation this will bring me? Since you’ve never cared about others, what right do you have to say others
deceived you? Besides, Ding Wang and I merely just knew each other for a few months in Du village when we were
little. How come you say it like it was all a scheme, what’s the point? Your Highness, Ren Wang, you breaking off
the engagement damaged my reputation, and Ding Wang requesting a marriage decree to remedy the situation,
asking Ren Wang, saying all these now, what’s the point? Also, although Ren Wang is a wangye, I’m still an
unmarried young lady, asking Ren Wang to please don’t call me Xiao Li.”
When Han Ming Hong saw the loathing in Du Xiao Li’s eyes, he unconsciously fell back two steps.
Du Xiao Li really felt this Han Ming Hong was disgusting inside. Before, he looked down on her, and when he
broke the engagement off with her, how happy he looked, from then on unable to conceal the disdain in his eyes
every time he saw her. But ever since mid-autumn, his gaze towards her changed. Annoyance, resentment, and
possessiveness, making her feel disgusted!
“But, I………”
“Enough, Ming Hong!” Han Ming Ze’s expression sunk, “Don’t say anymore! This emperor called you all here
today isn’t to talk about this!”
“Your Majesty, please quell your anger!”
Seeing Han Ming Ze angry, they all hurriedly admitted their mistake.
Han Ming Ze looked to Han Ming Hong and said, “Since in the beginning, it was you that wanted to break the
engagement, then don’t think of anything else now. Otherwise, even if you are this emperor’s full-blooded younger
brother, this emperor won’t forgive you either!”
“This younger brother knows wrong.” Han Ming Hong bowed to admit his mistake, however his lowered face didn’t
appear regretful at all.
Seeing this, Han Ming Ze finally suppressed his anger and said, “Alright, right now, let’s talk about the competition
this time. This is this emperor’s first time holding this kind of competition between the countries since ascending the
throne. The importance of this, it goes without saying. We need to have the competition this time handled grandly
and show off our Feng Ming’s strength! Du Xiao Li, the matter this time, this emperor has already discussed with
the officials during morning court earlier. Just go according to Ren Wang’s recommendation and set the location at
your Sui Yuan Club.”
When Du Xiao Li heard Han Ming Ze’s words, learning that Han Ming Hong had Sui Yuan pushed to the front, she
marked him another ‘X’ in her heart, and took a dagger and viciously stabbed a few times.
“This official will definitely do everything in one’s power!” Du Xiao Li declared.
“En. Then the location is settled. However, although we need to borrow your Sui Yuan to be the site of the
competition this time, the other matters you don’t need to worry about. We’ve already decided, the matter this time
will be given to Ding Wang and Prime Minister Du to handle. The security will be handled by Ding Wang, and the
other arrangements will be given to Prime Minister Du. It just so happens that Prime Minister Du is your father. You
two can coordinate with each other.”
“This old official will definitely spare no effort.” Du Yun Han said. At the same time, he also sighed inside.
Originally, he’d wanted to turn down this matter, but now that he knew Sui Yuan was Du Xiao Li’s place, no matter
what he couldn’t watch with folded arms. Just, right now, it was only a month until the competition, don’t know if all
the preparations will make it on time.
“Ding Wang, the security portion will be given to you to handle. You must ensure everyone’s personal safety!” Han
Ming Ze said to Han Ming Yi.
“This younger brother accepts the decree!”
“Your Majesty, this younger brother also wants to contribute to this competition.” Han Ming Hong suddenly opened
his mouth.
Han Ming Ze looked to Han Ming Hong and said, “Ren Wang, you can just give some extra guidance to the students
of the academy. As for the rest, just have them take care of, alright? Your learning is very good, your guidance will
probably be very helpful for those students.”
This was rejecting his request. Han Ming Hong although was unresigned inside, he still bowed and said, “This
younger brother understand!”
“En, then the matter this time will be given to you three. Ren Wang, you can withdraw first.” Han Ming Ze said.
“This younger brother bids farewell.” Han Ming Ze bowed and glanced to Du Xiao Li, before slowly retreating out.
“Below, let’s talk about your arrangements for the competition this time…………..”
Han Ming Yi and Du Yun Han separately voiced their thoughts, while Du Xiao Li roughly explained Sui Yuan’s
situation and also voiced some of her own opinion, making Du Yun Han and Han Ming Ze’s two eyes light up.
