Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 268.1: Just Pretending, Who Doesn't Know How

Chapter 268.1: Just Pretending, Who Doesn’t Know How

Li Hong Yuan embraced Jing Wan and kissed her, “If you like, in the future, we can always come for a short stay any time.”

“No hurry, there will always be a chance.” Jing Wan although regretted, it’s not like she insists on being here either. Nine times out of ten, life doesn’t go as one wishes. Even for Jin Qinw.a.n.g who lived this wantonly, didn’t he also have times where he can’t do as he pleases? She felt she was already very fortunate. What she should do at what times, she was always very clear, and won’t lose her way.

“There will eventually be a day, where you will be able to, no matter what, do whatever you want.”

Jing Wan helplessly laughed. This living Enma also has times where he’s naive. How can people truly be wanton? Regardless of which aspect, all will more or less have restrictions. Even if it didn’t come from the outside, it will still come from within oneself. Even if standing at the top of the food chain, once civilization is established, one just won’t have absolute freedom. Completely letting oneself fly free, one won’t have a good ending.

“Going back at this time, is there something we need to do?” Jing Wan turned and asked.

Li Hong Yuan nodded, “Indeed, some things need to be taken care of.” Or perhaps should say, wait for the person to visit.

Jing Wan didn’t ask more, turning to let someone pack up, preparing to return to the capital.

En, the people below, each and every one were all capable. As such, Jing Wan just needed to give a single order.

Returning to the capital, Jing Wan dispatched people to have the children sent back to their respective homes first thing, naturally also taking quite a few toys with them. These were the by-product of building the playground, the outcome of a last minute idea.

Just, when Eunuch Mu returned from the Grand Elder Princess Manor, he carried back a pot of flower, precisely the ‘compensation’ Jing Wan gave the Yu Yao at the time———–the white eighteenth scholar. Because it was a special rare breed, it was impossible to even want to forget.

“How come you had it brought back?” Jing Wan fiddled with the flower as she puzzlingly asked.

Eunuch Mu stammered, “w.a.n.gfei, that um, it’s, w.a.n.gye let someone………move a pot of the same one back from the estate. Just now, when this servant sent Yu Yao Wenzhu back to the Grand Elder Princess Manor………….”

Jing Wan understood, once again turning speechless. Was there a need to go this far?

Forget it, as long as he’s happy. It’s just a pot of flower, that’s all, so not that big of a deal either. Since he cares this much, in the future she’ll just properly raise it. Of course, she can’t because of them neglect him either, else the consequences were even more serious.

He wanted to make her happy, win her favor, sending her thing she liked, but towards these things, there needed to be a limit. Jing Wan could tell, and he himself also clearly stated, he hopes that in her eyes, it was just him, but everything he did wasn’t like this. He clearly was able to have these things eliminated from her world, yet the reality was that he hoped for her to be happy. As such, he restrained his possessive desires as much as possible.

Sigh, really is high-maintenance.

The bottom of Jing Wan’s eyes carried the purest joy.

The next day, Jing Wan entered the palace along with Li Hong Yuan. Since they were out playing for that long, after returning, it was only natural to enter the palace to pay their respects. Because of Rui Qinw.a.n.g’s matter, n.o.ble Consort Su’s mood wasn’t all that great lately. Moreover, the capital was currently in a mess, yet they, while wildly playing around, even carried out a large scale construction. No matter who saw, afraid would all want to have them beaten to death.

Jing Wan discovered, following Li Hong Yuan, she also began corrupting with him. Towards pulling in hate, this kind of thing, it was also ‘driving a light carriage on a familiar path’, not feeling uneasy or scared, but rather somewhat excited. This state wasn’t right, yet Jing Wan didn’t want to go restrain it.

(T/N: LHY slowly awakening Jing Wan’s s.a.d.i.s.tic tendencies lmaoo.)

Jing Wan was already mentally prepared to be troubled.

n.o.ble Consort Su rather didn’t say anything at all, and aside from being somewhat weak in spirit, she was still that good consort mother and good mother-in-law, softly inquiring their recent situation, even asking what they were building on the estate, and so on.

Li Hong Yuan absentmindedly answered, the purpose just eating, drinking, and playing around. In the past, he played around alone, but now, prepared to find some people to play around together with him, that’s all. His att.i.tude was nonchalant, completely not feeling there was anything wrong.

This kind of ‘paying no attention to outside matters’ att.i.tude, just focused on pleasing oneself, not asking how’s consort mother’s body, like as if really unaware that his ‘older brother’ was currently in deep hot water, Jing Wan thought for a moment, if she was in n.o.ble Consort Su’s position, encountering such a unfilial son, what kind of mood would she have? Truthfully speaking, she quite sympathized with her.

In n.o.ble Consort Su’s eyes, this son has always been this way. Clearly she was burning in anger, yet still unable to get angry at him.

n.o.ble Consort looked to her ‘all things unconcerned with oneself’ son, and her calm and nonchalant daughter-in-law, her irritation burning increasingly fierce.

How can it just be described as ‘miserable’?

What kind of personality this son has, she was truly too clear. It’s not that she never thought of having him turned around before, just she’s never succeeded. One time, she even nearly caused the mother and child relations.h.i.+p to become estranged. After that, she didn’t dare to go too far either.

With him like this, the most exhausted and the most miserable was none other than his wife, but what did that have to do with her? It’s enough as long as her son’s well. But in reality, this current daughter-in-law, no matter how one looked, all didn’t seem like she was living unwell, confidently presenting her face to the heavens, her face bright and rosy, her brows rolled out, not carrying the slightest melancholy, and that complexion practically even better than before marrying.

Even if wanting to deceive herself, telling herself, that was because she knew what kind of person her husband was, that’s why from the start, just didn’t care, but anyone with a discerning eye was all able to tell, this wasn’t the case.

No matter how much one didn’t care, still wouldn’t go as far as to become increasingly well. Clearly there was a problem.

Letting an already married woman be delighted and happy both mentally and physically, aside from her husband, there wasn’t a second option.

On other people, perhaps this was normal, but on this son of hers, it was just very abnormal.

Could it be that her son just liked his wife this much? Liking to the point that he’s willing to turn back? And the various things prior to marrying was also purely because he liked her, wanting to be good to her, wanting to give her the best?

n.o.ble Consort Su very quickly denied this thought. The mountains and rivers were susceptible to change, but human nature was difficult to alter. All these years, he was all unable to change, so how can he suddenly curb himself? “Yuan’er, why don’t you first go pay your respects to your imperial father. Consort mother will have a chat with your wife.”

Li Hong Yuan nodded, getting up to take his leave. He just glanced at Jing Wan once, and Jing Wan, seemingly sensing this, glanced at him too, lightly smiling. Aside from this, there was nothing else, even unable to see his mood from his face.

n.o.ble Consort Su was somewhat unable to grasp. Was it really that the two of them were too good at pretending, or was it that this daughter that the Luo family raised, her demands towards her son, really were low to the point that just providing her with good things was enough to satisfy her?

After sending away Li Hong Yuan, Jing Wan knew, the main act was starting.

n.o.ble Consort Su wanting to chat with Jing Wan, that was really just chatting. However, that ‘one line, three pitfalls’ was also tiring to just listen to. One moment of carelessness, and one will probably directly fall in head first. This kind of person, Jing Wan felt, she sure enough wasn’t their opponent. Thus, she felt she should just be a ‘sweet naive idiot’ that didn’t understand anything at all, answering whatever n.o.ble Consort Su asked, in short, just listening to the literal meaning.

For instance………..

Last time returning to the Luo family, did you mention that matter to the people of your maiden family? ————En, said it.

What did the people of your maiden family say? ————Grandmother said she understands.

Is Yuan’er good to you? ————Very good.

How is he good? ——————–This time, Jing Wan pretended to be bashful, falling silent and not speaking.

Did you have fun at the estate? —————Very happy.

The Grand Elder Princess is rather rea.s.suring towards you. Yu Yao has never once been entrusted to others before. ————–Of course, she was her adopted daughter.

n.o.ble Consort Su just felt her insides all burning. Despite clearly knowing that Jing Wan was being deliberate, she still couldn’t do anything about it.

T/N: Jing Wan’s interactions with n.o.ble Consort Su are always fun. It’s like a different kind of angering to death.
