Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 167.3: The View Boundlessly Good

Chapter 167.3: The View Boundlessly Good

Everyone finally couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly even letting that hard to endure dry heat all vanish quite a bit.

“Each and every one all not small anymore, yet still like a small child.” Luo Old Madam shook her head, laughing in spite of herself.

And in this short period of time in joking around, the other side erected two more large umbrellas, and the other things were also all prepared.

Luo Pei Shan stroked his beard, nodding in a smile, “Indeed both quick and efficient.”

Thus, while the other families were finally getting started, the Luo family’s masters have already sat down chatting.

And this wasn’t all, because an even bigger umbrella got taken out, and what was different was that after opening it, its supports were on its four corners. After setting it in place, it was entirely just a canopy. The servants could all occupy underneath it.

“Little sis, actually, just fixing two of those should be good enough, no need to be this troublesome.” Luo Jing Bo lifted his head for a look.

“This is called appeal, understand?” Jing Wan impatiently answered. Could she say that it was because when she was at Qi’an Fu, she was used to using this kind of sun s.h.i.+elding umbrella, but the farthest place they traveled to at the time was just their own family’s estate, which didn’t require the servants to operate outdoors. Thus, a few days prior to setting out, after she’d let someone prepare a few large umbrellas, she finally realized that this way actually wasn’t convenient either, that’s why she thought of this. Yet as a result, Gong mama and them even expectedly nodded their heads, saying the masters’ and the servants’ should be separate.

Thus, Jing Wan didn’t say anything anymore.

Luo Jing Bo didn’t understand what was ‘appeal’, however this kind of separation was indeed more pleasing to the eyes than having everyone all under one tent.

The two families to the right and left of the Luo family, seeing the Luo family’s situation, instantly became envious and resentful. Especially those servants that were still busy putting up the scaffolding, this while, they were already covered in sweat. And as the masters, there still wasn’t a place ready for them to rest, so naturally just felt that the inside of the carriage was getting increasingly stuffy, even having the ice basin wasn’t enough to dissolve the summer heat. Thus, their temper just appeared even more irritable.

Gong mama brought over for them freshly extracted fruit juice. The others all used iced fruits, with even a small piece of ice added into Jing Wan and Luo Jing Bo’s, while Luo Old Madam and Sun Yi Jia’s used slightly chilled fruits.

While the others were still looking at the novelty, Luo Old Madam was the very first to pick up a small bamboo straw, placing it into the juice, and sucking in a mouthful. Afterwards, she indistinctly relaxed a breath. However, seeing her relaxed brows, she should be extremely refreshed inside.

Just, seeing her adept movements, one just knew, towards this matter, she was very much accustomed to.

The other three, upon seeing this, also followed suit by copying her. After drinking a mouthful, they all felt very refreshed.

Jing Wan also slowly took a sip, the percolating cool feeling slid from her mouth to her stomach, feeling refreshed all over. The indisposed feeling brought about by carriage-sickness practically alleviated by a lot instantly.

Together with one’s family, drinking ice-cold fruit juice, and also having someone to the side fanning the fan, even if it’d just entered the sixth month, out in this kind of nature, having a great view, it was truly a great pleasure of life.

Jing Wan gazed out into the distant mountain forest, in daze and somewhat lost in thought.

Sun Yi Jia extended her hand in front of Jing Wan and waved it. Unknown as to when, she had already moved from Luo Jing Bo’s side to Jing Wan’s side. By the time she saw Jing Wan look to her, “What are you looking at, to be this absentminded? I called out to you, yet you didn’t hear at all.”

Jing Wan hooked the corner of her mouth, smiling from the depths of her eyes, “Just suddenly felt very refreshed, even if in the scorching hot summertime, and even if right now, I’m still a bit unwell, I still feel it’s very good.”

Hearing her words, the other all looked over, especially Luo Old Madam, her gaze exceptionally gentle.

“Grandmother is also very content, right?” Jing Wan was br.i.m.m.i.n.g in smiles.

Luo Old Madam didn’t deny, nodding with a shallow smile.

Luo Pei Shan stared at her smile, suddenly understanding something. He owed her quite a lot, but even so, at this time, he was still unable to propose retiring from his post, and then accompany her in peacefully enjoying their later years.

Have to say, the one that understood Luo Pei Shan the most was sure enough still Luo Old Madam. Seeing his expression at this time, she just knew what he was thinking, “My lord doesn’t need to think too much, having this moment right now is enough.” Even if just for Wan Wan’s sake, she still can’t let him retire at this time.

Although they didn’t understand too well the two elder’s mood right now, but, Luo Jing Bo and Sun Yi Jia both very tacitly looked towards one another. In their eyes flickered a tenderness that was seemingly difficult to say, yet understood by both.

Jing Wan subconsciously covered her eyes. ‘An unmarried dog can’t bear this pain!’^[1] This one old, one young, pair of couples, representing a marriage’s start and finish, both were filled to the brim with happiness. This destructive power was extraordinary.

It was causing her to even begin having that tiny bit of expectation towards marriage.

“Beloved Minister Luo seems very satisfied.”

Hearing this, the masters of the Luo family hurriedly turned around. Le Cheng Emperor was standing next to the horse carriage, and behind him, also followed a crowd of people, including his sons, the palace attendants holding the cover^[2], as well as the imperial guards.

It was obvious he’d came from the other side of the horse carriage.

Your Majesty, can you at least let someone make a sound in advance? For you to soundlessly ‘patrol’ your subjects’ private life like this, is it really okay? Alright, in this one’s eyes, there was probably nothing he did that can be said as not good.

The servants along with the masters hurriedly got up to bow to him.

“Beloved minister you may rise.” Le Cheng Emperor lifted his hand, and neither quickly nor slowly walked over, seeing the things on the table, “Beloved Minister Luo, as expected, is very satisfied.” That voice even uncontrollably becoming somewhat delighted.

Coming over along this way, Le Cheng Emperor has actually been suppressing his anger. He felt that when in the capital, there wasn’t this kind of good view, and thus, stopped on a whim, originally intending to let everyone enjoy it. Afterwards, on another whim, he prepared to go around and see everyone’s deep grat.i.tude towards him. However, it was very clear, he didn’t hear any heartfelt grat.i.tude, instead hearing quite a few grumbling complaints and resentment. Afterwards, upon seeing him, their complexion turned deathly pale in fear, as they kneeled to ground to beg for forgiveness. But, he also couldn’t just, because of this, punish them, and so his anger could only be bottled up. Yet, he still, like a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t, continued walking along.

The people following him, aside from Li Hong Yuan who was still calm and composed, the rest all didn’t dare to breath too loudly, fearing that they might accidentally strike a nerve. But now, arriving at the Luo family’s place, it seems as if the overcast instantly cleared up.

Le Cheng Emperor looked around. As expected, it wasn’t the problem of his decision. Clearly it was just the others being too stupid. “Whose idea was all this?”

Jing Wan, under Luo Pei Shan’s indication, stepped forward, “Replying to your Majesty, it’s this subject.”

“Oh? It’s you again, good, good, good, truly outstandingly intelligent.” Le Cheng Emperor had a very much pleased look.

“Your Majesty overpraises, this subject merely just seized the opportunity, really doesn’t count as anything.”

“This girl, no need to be modest. Even if just seizing the opportunity, one doesn’t see others also having this ability. ———-What’s this drink, give this emperor a cup too.” Even if he was sweating right now, Le Cheng Emperor’s mood was still high.

This clearly was having the intention to stay. The two elders’ table was quickly and appropriately tidied up, inviting Le Cheng Emperor to sit. And the close attendants that personally served him hurriedly went with Gong mama to prepare fruit juice and such for him.

Because they didn’t bring Le Cheng Emperor’s personal things, this while, they could only make do with the Luo family’s. Just, every article got inspected again and again. Although because it was for the Emperor, doing this was unavoidable, it still made the one watching can’t help but get angry. Having this kind of att.i.tude wasn’t anyone else, but precisely Gong mama. However, she didn’t show it on her face in the slightest. ———Really want to poison him to death. There were plenty of poisons that the silver needle can’t detect.

During the waiting process, “Beloved minister, go fetch the chessboard, and play a round with this emperor.”

Because Jing Wan’s horse carriage was the closest, thus it was directly taken from her carriage.

After taking it out, Jing Wan somewhat regretted. She just knew that there was a qi set on the carriage, yet didn’t know the materials used were this good. The board was made from golden cedar wood, the stones from jade, and moreover it was all the best kind. However, taking it back again, wouldn’t that just be telling others there was a problem. It’d practically be ‘trying to hide, yet making it more conspicuous’.
