Chapter 430: You’re Precisely Being Deliberate
Chapter 430: You’re Precisely Being Deliberate
Jing Wan although wasn’t a master of the classics, or a sage of great erudition, the things she knew definitely weren’t few. Especially after having Li Hong Yuan this truly well-learned ‘teacher’ to carry out deep talks in this area, she won’t lose to anyone. Moreover, she was the most qualifying conversation partner. You will start to forget the disparity brought about identity and status, feeling delighted in both body and mind.
In half a day’s time, it wasn’t just the emissaries of Cang Jin that felt incomparably pleased, very much having Jing Wan viewed as a close friend, even the listeners, those noble madams and noble daughters of Qi Yuan, towards Jing Wan, all had a completely new recognition.
In reality, their deepest understanding towards Jing Wan were still the rumors, a jealous wife, a malicious woman, heart of a snake, and so on. All in all, very rarely were there positive things. However, through this brief interaction, as well as their careful observation as listeners, to say that she very much knew how to put on a face, and very much knew how to pretend, one really was unable to tell. If one were to say that her level has already reached the peak of perfection, to the extent that ordinary people were completely unable to tell, it seemingly wasn’t too possible either. After all, Jin Wangfei’s age was displayed there, and it hasn’t been long since she married into Jin Qinwang Manor. Jin Qinwang also didn’t have other women, and the Luo family’s family style was also placed there. Without any outside factors, to become a malicious person that was able to completely hide one’s true face, how high was the possibility?
Carefully thinking it over, it seems the possibility of lies spreading upon lies was the highest. The matters before, didn’t a completely different saying spread out afterwards?
Staying far away from Jin Wangfei as to avoid getting influenced? Heheh, wasn’t that what the mother-in-laws and mothers would say? The former naturally was considering for their own son, preventing the daughter-in-law from causing trouble in their son’s rear court, and the latter, naturally was saying for the sake of their daughter. Only by being virtuous and gentle can one better establish oneself in the husband’s home, no?
“Wangfei is having fun to the point of not missing the home?” A deep and pleasant sounding male voice suddenly interrupted.
Jing Wan turned her head. The peerlessly handsome living Enma stood by the shelf, elegant and esteemed like a jade tree. No matter how one looked, it was all dazzling to the eyes.
Jing Wan raised a smile, “How come wangye came?”
Afterwards, when the others were hurriedly getting up to greet, Jing Wan finally realized in hindsight and got up, so naturally just greeted after the others. This scene was just a bit conspicuous.
However, Li Hong Yuan didn’t feel there was anything wrong in the slightest, going forward two steps to personally have Jing Wan supported up, “You’re rather carefree and relaxed staying in the Four-Way Villa, having this prince and the manor all tossed to the back of your head completely. This prince very much misses, but to think of dear, yet not see dear, this prince can only come looking on one’s own.” Saying it quite bluntly.
Jing Wan wanted to reach out to pinch him, but ultimately endured, carrying a smile, pretending to not hear.
Those Qi Yuan noblewomen had a peculiar look on their face. There was similarly the rumor of Jin Qinwang deeply loving his own wangfei. Judging from the current situation, afraid it wasn’t just wind from an empty cave. After all, what kind of person the living Enma was, everyone was all very clear. The things he was unwilling to do, no one can force him to do. Moreover, he was one that didn’t care about his reputation, so naturally won’t put on an act for the sake of his reputation either.
Then, looking to Jin Wangfei, that affection and joy upon seeing Jin Qinwang also wasn’t fake in the slightest. Just, wasn’t it a bit too casual?
In comparison, the emissaries of Cang Jin were in a completely different state. They completely didn’t feel being this way between husband and wife was anything wrong. For them, this was the norm. And those couples that even need to walk behind one another when together, one ‘arrogant’, and one ‘humble’, in their eyes, was something very strange. Married couples were the most intimate people in the world to begin with. To not have the slightest signs of affection when outside, what a joke.
“Jin Qinwang’s relationship with wangfei sure is good.” The Cang Jin emissary said, appearing very sincere.
Li Hong Yuan was precisely the kind where even if you praise him, saying how ‘good’ he was, he most likely won’t even give you a glance, but if you compliment Jing Wan, or say how good their relationship was, it will probably please him. And it’s also because of this, he gave that Cang Jin emissary a proper look, “You all can chose a portion of books to take away from Qi Yuan.”
The Cang Jin emissary was greatly delighted. There was nothing more worth being happy over than this. Although some of the books that they wanted the most, they probably can’t take with them, but it didn’t mean that the ones they can take away won’t have any use at all. Moreover, with a good start, it was possible for there to be more opportunities in the future, no? After witnessing Li Hong Yuan’s conduct during the Emperor’s birthday banquet, they never once suspected the truthfulness of his words.
“Many thanks Jin Qinwang.” The three responded in unison.
Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly nodded, turning his head to look towards Jing Wan, “It’s getting late now, let’s go back.”
When outside, it wasn’t good for Jing Wan to sweep Li Hong Yuan’s face. Besides, she has been out for quite some time today. It was indeed time to go back. “All listen to wangye.”
Li Hong Yuan naturally reached out to hold Jing Wan’s hand, “This prince will take one’s leave first.”
“Respectfully sending off Jin Qinwang and Wangfei.”
Jing Wan followed Li Hong Yuan out, putting on her cloak, holding the hand furnace in hand, and afterwards return to Jin Qinwang Manor? Heheh, Jing Wan thought to herself, sure enough, she was still too naive. According to Li Hong Yuan’s saying, since they’ve come to the Four-Way Villa, to not go admire that violently blooming plum flowers, wouldn’t it be a pity?
Jing Wan wanted to say, if you want to view the plum flowers, then just say so. ‘Going home’ and whatnot, was it necessary?
However, although silently complaining, towards this kind of opportunity to spend time together, Jing Wan still quite liked. Although there were quite a few plum flowers in the manor, and moreover, Jing Wan reckon, the amount and variety probably didn’t lose to Head Minister Zhong’s collection, but no matter how big one’s home was, that was still one’s own home. Strolling through one’s own garden with one’s love versus admiring the scenery outside, that feeling definitely was different.
“The plum flower breeds here although are common, they’re indeed maintained very well.” In reality, for someone like Jing Wan, whether or not it was a rare or valuable breed actually wasn’t important at all. For many plants and flowers, one won’t because they weren’t a rare breed and not that well known, just not like them.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t comment. Although because of Jing Wan, towards these plants and flowers, he was also very knowledge of, but deep down, he didn’t really like these that much.
What Li Hong Yuan was thinking, Jing Wan also knew, but she didn’t really mind. No one ruled that two people that were connected at the heart must like the same thing. Li Hong Yuan this way, in Jing Wan’s eyes, was actually better, willing to change for the other party, and also willing for the other party to change oneself for him. But, that kind of change was just mutually growing together, and not for the sake of the other party’s ideal image in their heart, just change beyond recognition. After all, if it’s like that, then that was just equal to entirely becoming someone else.
In Jing Wan’s view, there was no need to love the house and its crow, just need to not reject. Clearly not liking that much, yet willing to do for the other party’s sake, what else could be more moving than this?
Jing Wan had the hand furnace in hand handed to a servant girl, and afterwards, descended the corridor, casually grabbing a small lump of snow and giddily throwing it towards Li Hong Yuan. The snow ball brushed past Li Hong Yuan’s shoulder.
Li Hong Yuan turned to look at his own shoulder, and then, saw Jing Wan slightly lifting her brow. Afterwards, he also directly pulled off his cloak, randomly tossing aside as he walked towards Jing Wan.
Jing Wan hurriedly backed away, “Hey, hey, you didn’t get hit. Wangye, as a grown man, you’re even thinking of retaliating?”
Being that close, and with him that big, for the hit to not land, there was just one reason, and that was just that she didn’t want to hit him.
Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly grabbed a lump of snow, even patting down, letting the snowball become sturdier. From the looks of it, it really was wanting to retaliate.
Jing Wan hurriedly hid towards the plum tree grove. Standing behind the plum tree, she smilingly looked towards Li Hong Yuan with her head tilted, her eyes even carrying a bit of provocation.
Li Hong Yuan randomly just threw it out, and with a thud, it exploded on the plum tree in front of Jing Wan, splashing a bit of snow on Jing Wan.
Icy and cold, Jing Wan shivered, “Hey, you bastard, you even did it for real.” Jing Wan moved away two steps, also grabbing a snowball, “This is war.”
Shortly after, the two of them started playing around in the plum tree grove. Compared to Jing Wan hiding left and right, appearing rather disheveled, and although she wanted to avoid Li Hong Yuan, she still would occasionally land some on him, Li Hong Yuan was practically just idly strolling along, even appearing sluggish, but every time he ‘attacked’, he was always able to accurately ‘hit’ the target. Although not a single one landed on Jing Wan, Jing Wan kept feeling that it was just an inch from hitting her, so naturally just dodged instinctively, and without a doubt, became more disheveled.
Despite Jing Wan being in a sorry state, she still smiled quite happily. Running and dodging like this, her body already began sweating……………
Regardless whether it was the emissaries of Cang Jin, or the noblewomen of Qi Yuan, they all heard the actual situation of the couple that had ‘returned home’, and couldn’t help but feel curious, all coming over for a look.
From far away, hearing the cheerful sounds, and seeing the vague figures, they felt somewhat complicated inside.
“Don’t want to play anymore. Ah Yuan, you’re precisely being deliberate.”
