Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 342: Scheming

Jing Wan slightly widened her eyes, “You’re saying, the previous dynasty has lost treasures, and even related to this jade pendant?”

“Not sure, but the previous dynasty having hidden a sum of wealth is a hundred percent certain, and as for whether or not it’s related to this jade pendant, at first, I was just at most fifty percent certain, but now, it has increased to seventy percent.” Li Hong Yuan stroked the jade pendant as he explained.

“Then, the situation now is, the Pei clan knows about this sum of wealth? But, half a state treasury and half a private treasury, how enormous of an amount, would the Pei clan not be tempted themselves? Or could it be that the jade pendant is actually something similar to a key, and the Pei clan just simply wasn’t able to unlock those treasures. And now, it’s nothing more than ‘offering borrowed flowers to buddha’?”

“If my guess is correct, then can only say, the one that led the Pei clan to leave the imperial court knew about this matter. Leaving that resolutely, even secretly hiding the members of the previous dynasty’s imperial family, most likely, it was wanting to use these treasures to rise again. Just, perhaps the Li imperial clan stabilized the country too quickly, or perhaps something unexpected happened, so saying that the key isn’t enough to unlock the ‘gate’ is also possible. However, this matter had gotten concealed. At least, currently, that old thing from the Pei clan doesn’t know. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t bring it out.

Wan Wan perhaps doesn’t know, but this sum of wealth definitely is a lot more than you think. The previous dynasty’s last emperor was licentious and tyrannical, excessively extravagant, wantonly gathering rare celestial treasures. Setting aside the state treasury, just this emperor’s inner treasury, any random item will all be priceless. When the Great Ancestor took down the capital, and cleaned out the previous dynasty’s imperial family, he’d carefully inspected the state treasury and inner treasury. From top to bottom, all were extremely stirred up, including those people of large influential families. Even if they didn’t find the inventory records for those things, no one suspected anything. It was more than enough to see that the things left behind also weren’t few, and similarly countless treasures. However, the result of my investigation little by little was that the things moved away from the inner treasury perhaps was far more than fifty percent, and its value beyond measure.”

Saying it like this, indeed, towards that enormous sum of wealth, even the Pei clan, this kind of large influential family, all can’t possibly refuse, especially given the Pei clan’s current situation. Even if something were to happen, based on this lost treasure, they can still start over from scratch. Then, recalling the current Pei clan leader’s character, the possibility of not knowing was greater than not being able to obtain.

“Ah Yuan prepares to have this batch of lost treasures dug out?” However, he already knew about this matter when he was still in the palace, so reasonably speaking, after leaving the palace, he would’ve already started working out a plan.

“Naturally, such an enormous sum of wealth, can’t just let it mold in the dirt after all. However, regarding the hiding place, I still haven’t been able to find, so I didn’t have my energy wasted on this matter. If not for this jade pendant appearing, for the most part, would’ve forgotten about this matter. It just so happens, the Pei clan might have clues.”

Jing Wan helplessly laughed. If everything is like as guessed, then when that Pei clan leader finds out, don’t know what kind of expression he’ll make. It certainly will be quite interesting.

“If there’s no mishap, then there should be five of these jade pendants. This last one should similarly still be in the Pei clan’s hands.”

“This is preparing to personally take a trip to the Pei clan main residence?”

“Witnessing the so called large influential family’s wealth is also not bad.” This was just admitting that he indeed had this kind of thought, “However, this matter doesn’t need to be rushed. Prior to returning to the capital, we can go anytime. By that time, the Pei clan’s roots will also more or less be dug up. If that old thing still wants to save the Pei clan in the end, not knowing that he will be letting the Pei clan’s last bit of wealth all be thrown in too, he probably would be very ‘willing’ to let me enter the Pei clan’s main residence.”

Jing Wan helplessly laughed. For someone like the Pei clan leader, encountering the living Enma that completely didn’t act according to common sense, this ending generally won’t be good.

And on the other side, Min Yu Han also left the villa not long after. In the horse carriage on the way back, he faintly closed his eyes. His worries, sure enough, were all excessive. This kind of temper of his(LHY) very much had the imposing manner of ‘those who follow flourish, and those who oppose perish’. It’s not that you can’t have requests towards him, but the following path, you can only walk according to his desire. Once he’s satisfied, perhaps he’ll be generous and give you the benefits you want, but if when he doesn’t give, you instead want to demand and talk conditions, it will probably just produce the opposite effect.

“Jin Wangfei, in Jin Qinwang’s heart, is even more important than expected.” Min Yu Han murmured in a voice only he could hear.

This is very good, really, very good. Jin Qinwang didn’t have other women taken seriously, and regardless of whether you’re a celestial fairy or a stunning beauty, all nothing more than just a face and won’t enter his eyes, won’t make him have tender feelings, and won’t make him treat in a special way. In his eyes, there was just one that was special, in perfect harmony, having deep affection. What could be more wonderful than this? In the past, he too once repeatedly imagined this kind of scenario. It was him holding the hand of the woman he loved dearly, and even if just quietly facing one another, not doing anything at all, he can still feel happy inside.

He originally thought that his heart had already died, so won’t produce any ripples, yet turns out, he still envied.

Min Yu Han returned to the Min clan’s residence, and after thinking for a moment, let someone go have Min Xiao Yuan———Miss Yuan Yuan called over.

Although he wasn’t a hundred percent certain, but it was nevertheless extremely possible for Pei Xiu Ying to have him viewed as a way out. Yuan Yuan’s relationship with her was pretty good, although it was possible that it was just his own family silly girl’s one-sided enthusiasm. Pei Xiu Ying appears to be pretty good to Yuan Yuan, but who knows how she actually views Yuan Yuan on the inside. Although he’d already warned Yuan Yuan before, he was still worried that she would get used. After all, although he hasn’t really interacted with her much, towards that foolish girl of his own family, he still had somewhat of an understanding. She appeared to be open-minded and carefree, but in reality, very pure and very kind, yet at the same time, was also a little stubborn. The things she firmly believed in were very difficult to be changed by others. Of course, at present, the areas she was stubborn in were seemingly harmless.

Min Xiao Yuan came very quickly, seemingly as if never having any worries, carefree and happy, making those who saw all can’t help but feel cheerful as well. New chapters are published on _Fire

“Greetings tang great-uncle.”

“Yuan Yuan, have a seat.”

Min Yu Han slightly hesitated for a moment, and then decided to have the matter of the Pei clan going to Jin Qinwang’s place today explained. Of course, all his wording were partial towards Jin Qinwang, for instance, hiding certain things that Li Hong Yuan said to Jing Wan, “…………..Pei Xiu Ying, this person, is not how she appears to be on the outside, her ambition also big. Yuan Yuan, you must stay far away from her.”

Min Xiao Yuan still carried disbelief on her face, but she was unable find a reason why her great-uncle would lie to her, “Then, why did great-uncle propose marriage with her?”

“Why? Probably for the sake of becoming enemies.” That’s right, it was just for the sake of becoming enemies.

“Ah?” Miss Yuan Yuan opened her mouth, seemingly as if she’d heard something incredible.

Min Yu Han helplessly laughed, “The Min clan and the Pei clan’s relationship is a little too tight.”
