Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 233.1: Sending the Betrothal Gift Equal to Stuffing the Dowry?

Chapter 233.1: Sending the Betrothal Gift Equal to Stuffing the Dowry?

After they finished eating, they continued nonchalantly walking through the rest of this street, heading back in the direction of the Lantern Festival.

Seeing Jing Wan’s satisfied and delighted expression, Li Hong Yuan subconsciously leaned over, kissing Jing Wan on her lips.

Jing Wan subconsciously covered her mouth, and afterwards, looked in all directions. This place was relatively remote, and didn’t really have that many people. There were no outsiders paying attention to them, and the people following behind them, each and every one all had their eyes to their nose and their nose to their chest, pretending to not see anything. Jing Wan finally relaxed a breath, glaring towards this increasingly wanton b.a.s.t.a.r.d that completely disregards the circ.u.mstances.

Li Hong Yuan looked to her, his expression gentle, his gaze tender and in love, “Wan Wan, don’t get angry, it was just momentarily being unable to restrain one’s emotions.”

Jing Wan had a ‘who would believe you’ expression. No wait, even if it’s like that, still can’t do this, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

“As expected, the wedding date is still set too late.” Li Hong Yuan, as if helpless, lightly sighed.

“w.a.n.gye should be glad that you’re a favored prince.” Jing Wan said through clenched teeth.

If not favored, even if an imperial prince, based on her grandfather’s position, no matter what, can still have her marriage delayed until after sixteen. Where would it be like now, completely being grasped in this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s hand, not having the leeway to haggle over the price.

“Wan Wan doesn’t want to marry me……..this much?” Li Hong Yuan’s expression seemingly appeared a bit hurt.

Jing Wan pursed her lips and didn’t speak. This guy really was quite good to her, in this feudalistic society under imperial power, to be able to go this far, one really won’t be able to find that many. Although he has a bad reputation, but after getting engaged with her, there seemingly weren’t any rumors of anything unbearable for her. In the beginning, it was her that chose this, so naturally she won’t not marry, just she didn’t want to marry this early, that’s all.

“Wan Wan as expected doesn’t want to marry?” Li Hong Yuan’s expression carried a bit of coldness.

This was having a falling out in a moment of disagreement? No wait, should be turning dark. He wasn’t a good person to begin with, the heart and lungs all thoroughly black, so to turn even more dark, would that be from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, all turning into like ink? “w.a.n.gye, you thought too much, definitely not the case.” Jing Wan hurriedly ensured.

A certain person however still carried a dark and heavy expression, and seemingly towards Jing Wan’s words, completely didn’t believe at all.

Jing Wan wanted to facepalm. When this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was good to her, there was indeed nothing to nitpick, but once this temper comes up, he was also very hard to coax. Right now, if she doesn’t have this b.a.s.t.a.r.d properly coaxed, tonight she’ll probably have to suffer again. Jing Wan suddenly grabbed his collar, and at the same time pulling him over, stood on her tiptoes, ‘using his method to return the favor’. Afterwards, she let go, turning around and hurriedly leaving. Heavens, no face to see others anymore.

Li Hong Yuan touched his lips, his eyes overflowed with smiles. Jing Wan’s temperament, he was slowly getting a better grasp of more and more. Majority of the times, she was amendable to coaxing and not coercion, but occasionally being a little stubborn and unyielding was also okay. However, one can’t go too overboard. Having her temper stirred up, she will probably just go against you to the end.

That’s why, secretly letting someone watch over for several years wasn’t without any use. At least, he understood Jing Wan, and definitely understood her faster than she understood him. And Jing Wan, who doesn’t have an accurate grasp of his temperament, the times she’ll compromise will certainly be even more.

They continued to slowly stroll the colored lantern streets, their eyes filled with the dazzling scenery, a feast for the eyes. All kinds of performances, brilliant and varied, making one clap one’s hands and cheer. ——————-Jing Wan selectively had the matter just now forgotten.

This place naturally can’t compare with the remote areas, being able to encounter people they recognize from time to time. Just, because of Li Hong Yuan’s infamy, unless they accidentally ran into them straight on, the other party normally would always take a detour first. This actually lightened Jing Wan’s awkwardness. Everything else aside, even if they were to just deliberately sweep her a glance, say a few words, it was still very uncomfortable.

Unknowingly, they reached the Thousand Lantern Building, arriving at the perfect time, just happening to encounter the ‘hundred people dance’. Not of a woman’s gentle postures, nor was it alluring, but rather over a hundred men holding torches in their hands, their valiant posture bold and heroic, quickly and powerfully altering their formation. In fact, in an instant, they combined into a three-four layer human pyramid, then jumping down from above, lighting the giant water jar. However, it turns out that it was wine inside. The cries of cheers never stopped.

“w.a.n.gye, his Majesty asks to see you.” Eunuch Mu neither lightly nor heavily spoke behind Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuan turned back, glancing at the palace attendant situated beyond the bodyguards. That was someone by Le Cheng Emperor’s side. Seeing Li Hong Yuan look over, he hurriedly put on a smile. No matter how one looked, it all appeared to be trying to flatter. It couldn’t be helped, this one here, that was just a living ancestor, need to properly serve well.

Li Hong Yuan retracted his gaze, “Wan Wan, can’t accompany you anymore tonight. The time is also getting late, why don’t you go back early to rest.” The times his old man came out to enjoy the festivity with the people weren’t many. In past years, he had nothing to do, so just whittled away the time at the side. His other brothers were also this way. However, this year, he wasn’t present the whole time, so someone just felt ‘unaccustomed’.

Jing Wan didn’t know about this matter, just nodding her head. She has already been out for a very long time, so most likely grandmother and them have already gone back. “w.a.n.gye can go ahead, this subject will just return in a bit.”

Li Hong Yuan nodded, turning to leave.

Just that palace attendant clearly glanced at Jing Wan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Li Hong Yuan also glanced at him, following which he no longer paid him any attention, directly leaving.

That palace attendant couldn’t help but tremble, no longer daring to say anything, following behind Li Hong Yuan and the bodyguards, not daring to fall behind.

Jing Wan also saw. This must have been preparing to call her to go along with?! However, since it got blocked by him, Jing Wan was also quite happy. Regardless whether it’s the Emperor, or a certain imperial consort, Jing Wan all didn’t want to meet. Meeting with them, she needed to be tense at all times, very uncomfortable. In that case, it was still better to return early.

Thus, despite clearly knowing that those people were just above in the Thousand Lantern Building, Jing Wan didn’t glance up at all. When the current performance neared the end, she just slowly started heading back.

In the Thousand Lantern Building, seeing Le Cheng Emperor and them, Li Hong Yuan removed his cloak. Eunuch Mu hurriedly took it.

Li Hong Yuan walked before Le Cheng Emperor, “This son greets imperial father.”

Le Cheng Emperor slanted him a glance, “Your wife didn’t come up?”

“Imperial father, guard your tongue, this son and the Luo family’s miss have still yet to marry, don’t taint her clean reputation.”

Le Cheng Emperor nearly vomited blood. Who exactly was it that looked like he hadn’t seen a wife in eight lifetimes? Only with him keeping things under control, and with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s demon repelling reputation suppressing, did the rumors and gossip not spread. Right now, he actually ‘counterattacked’? As expected, he shouldn’t have called him over, purely just looking to suffer. “Get lost, this old man doesn’t want to see you.”

Li Hong Yuan glanced at Le Cheng Emperor, as if saying: ‘If you didn’t want to see him, what did you call him over for? Practically just causing trouble for no reason.’

Le Cheng Emperor in that instant magically understood the meaning in his eyes, and because he understood, he felt even more stuffy inside. How come he raised such an unfilial son? He and Guan Guan clearly both weren’t this way, who did this b.a.s.t.a.r.d take after?

Li Hong Yuan however was actually considerate for once, and didn’t really leave directly, sitting down in the nearby seat.

Le Cheng Emperor clearly snorted in ‘disdain’, yet no longer said anything.

The play was currently brilliant. The other princes, w.a.n.gyes, and officials’ attention were all occupied. What this father and son pair said and did, who would know, right?

As soon as Jing Wan returned home, she was just told that her sister-in-law Sun Yi Jia went into labor. Jing Wan first blanked, then afterwards, immediately just returned to her senses. This had long been antic.i.p.ated, so even if it was today, it wasn’t all that strange either. One has to know, the fifteenth of the first lunar month was a good day. That little guy really knew how to pick the timing. However, she heard that the first one was all relatively slow, and today was mostly over with already. Then, the possibility of giving birth today shouldn’t be big. That little guy should have come a little earlier.

For the old servant woman guarding the gate to tell her at this time, it was probably also for the sake of currying favor. Jing Wan wasn’t stingy, letting the servant girl directly give a tip. The old servant woman naturally grinned from ear to ear, unable to contain her happiness.

“When did elder sister-in-law go into labor?”

“Replying to third miss, not long after you all went out, third young madam just went into labor.”

In this case, they must have not sent anyone to inform them. With everything all prepared appropriately, even without them present, it won’t get in the way of anything either. In any case, the child won’t be born any time soon. The two of them probably thought this too.

Jing Wan didn’t return to Elegant Haitang Residence to change her clothes, instead directly heading to the nearby courtyard. Outside the delivery room, the female elders, sure enough, were all present. Luo Jing Bo was continuously pacing in circles outside the door, appearing very nervous.

However, Jing Wan got frightened by Sun Yi Jia’s screaming cries. Hasn’t it been not that long? To already be shouting this vigorously now, what to do when about to give birth? Or is it that at this time, it was already very very painful?

“Wan Wan has come back.”

“Grandmother, elder sister-in-law………..”

“Wah wah wah……….”

Before Jing Wan could finish, she just heard a loud crying noise. This was having given birth already? Jing Wan really was stupefied.

“The child’s born, the child’s born………….”
