Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 363.1: The Snake Disease Doesn’t Need a Reason to Act Up

When Li Hong Yuan return to the manor, Jing Wan was still busy.

“You’re back.’ Jing Wan lifted her head to look at him, revealing a gentle smile, but didn’t get up.

Between husband and wife, if in private still that formal, then probably can’t be called husband and wife.

Li Hong Yuan responded with an ‘en’, sitting down near Jing Wan, very naturally wrapping around her waist, kissing her cheek. He looked to the big and small cases placed to the side, having a faint sandalwood scent. Reaching out and lifting open one, “Got it back?”

Inside was a string of bodhi seed buddhist beads.

These bodhi seed buddhist beads were received in Chuanzhou Fu, and were actually sent by Pei Xiu Ying. Based on the Pei Clan’s background, to be able to bring it out actually wasn’t that surprising. Pei Xiu Ying was a scholar girl, and at the same time, also had a certain depth of knowledge towards buddhist beads. At the time, choosing to send bodhi seed buddhist beads, it was also considered taking a different approach. Unfortunately, regardless of what she thought of or wanted to do, before it even began carrying out, it just thoroughly died prematurely, even having herself all sacrificed in. That’s why, some times, scheming too much, that was all in vain.

Although because of the ulterior motives mixed in by others, it caused these buddhist beads to change in meaning, but one still can’t completely deny their worth. To be able to get ahold of this many varied and excellent quality bodhi seeds was considerably difficult. If because of some minor reasons, just destroyed, it truly wasn’t worth it. Besides, Jing Wan to this day still doesn’t know these bodhi seed buddhist beads’ origins. At the time, she wasn’t able to find out, and when departing Chuanzhou Fu, she had the buddhist beads sent to White Dragon Temple to be blessed, and just thoroughly forgot about them. Now, she has already completely lost interest in looking into.

“Originally planned on directly sending into Grandmaster Liao Chen’s hands. Fortunately, he was indeed at White Dragon Temple. Those one thousand and eighty starry bodhi beads, giving to Grandmaster Liao Chen is the most suitable. After all, for ordinary people, it’s truly a little too long, but perfect for grandmaster to use. The rest were all presented before buddha, chanting sutras for forty-nine days, and now, using them as gifts can’t be more fitting. The one hundred and eight little thunderbolt bodhi seeds, I plan on giving grandmother, the one hundred and eight phoenix eye bodhi seeds for adopted mother (Grand Elder Princess), and grandfather will just have to bear with the fifty-four muhuan seeds. The person that sent these bodhi buddhist seeds, since already bringing out this many, why didn’t they just bring out some more. Now, it’s not even enough to divide up.” Jing Wan slightly disdained the other party for being stingy. This chapter is updated by _Fire

Li Hong Yuan nodded with dead seriousness, expressing his agreement. Both overlooked their slight astonishment at the time when they saw these buddhist beads for the first time, seemingly even once sighing at the other party’s generous hand.

Was this considered ‘having obtained a benefit yet still shrewd’? Not really, because these things, if Li Hong Yuan wanted, he completely was able to obtained through his own means, but that way, there was no meaning. After all, these things were unlike things such as gold and pearls. For people that liked it, to be able to have one string in hand was enough.

The rest, the string of eight sun seeds, string of twenty-one moon seeds, fourteen golden striped toad seeds, ten five-eyes, twelve manguan seeds, twenty-seven lotus flower cushions, twenty-seven white jade, and fifty-four qilin eyes, Jing Wan reserved a string for each of her parents, and also a string for each of her maternal grandparents. Even if someone that didn’t like buddhist beads, having been blessed by Grandmaster Liao Chen, this highly accomplished high monk, there definitely won’t be anyone that would refuse. In the end, after contemplating, she prepared a string of white jade bodhi seeds for her own elder sister-in-law. Although appearing to be that many, in the end, it was just two three strings left. Tsk, it seemingly wasn’t good to continue dividing. In reality, there were also those in the palace, but Jing Wan, from the start, just never considered them.

“Have the rest all given to your grandmother. How to handle, just let her do as she sees fit.” Li Hong Yuan suggested. It can be seen, he also didn’t consider the people blood related to him in the slightest either.

Jing Wan nodded, “This way is also not bad. Oh right, how’s the Jiangnan matter, which ones will be dealt with?”

“Everything is just as predicted in the beginning. Imperial father cares about face and doesn’t want to leave behind such an enormous corruption case as a stain in his late years. However, it’s a major matter after all, so although things won’t be completely made public, he most likely will still summon a portion of his trusted old ministers, and see which ones need to be dealt with, and which ones can be temporarily let off. However, these all have nothing to do with us. That portion that absolutely needs to be taken care of, I’ve already notified them. The rest aren’t worth fearing.”

“Then, the matter Noble Consort Su ‘asked’ of you………….”

“On Li Hong Ming’s side, I indeed helped him cover up some, but that share he saved from imperial father’s side, I will have him pay me back in ten-fold. In any case, because of ‘consort mother’, I’m heartbroken and angry, so using him to vent my anger, isn’t that only to be expected? Noble Consort Su won’t say a single word, and Li Hong Ming further can only pinch his nose and accept. After all, compared with disclosing everything to imperial father, his ‘loss’ would only be even bigger. However, after extorting this sum of valuables from him, in terms of wealth, he will have to be tight with his money for some time. If he doesn’t want to appear too unsightly, his wangfei and side consorts’ dowry will have to be brought out to subsidize. Also, that good consort mother will undoubtedly help him financially. Don’t look at how Noble Consort Su is limitlessly grand in the imperial harem, her position honorable and her private storage seemingly also very ample, many of those things were all things bestowed by the emperor, and all inventoried and recorded, so can’t be rashly used. What she can provide financially is limited, and afterwards, the esteemed Noble Consort Su will also be hard pressed for money. If exposed, her face can entirely be torn apart by the other women of the imperial harem.”

Jing Wan’s expression was a bit interesting, “All of this, you have already predicted? Or perhaps deliberately plotted?”

“Wouldn’t go as far as to plot. For Noble Consort Su to do this, it’s completely expected. As long as one slightly push along the waves, it will just result in this kind of outcome. The difference was just in whether the control was in my hands or her hands. Clearly, for the matter in the afternoon, the main control was completely in my hands.” Speaking to here, Li Hong Yuan hooked a smile, “This is all Wan Wan’s hard work.”

Just look, completely just holding the pearl of wisdom, and the people that got schemed to death by him, even now, were still completely unaware. One was even endlessly distressed, and one was still unaware that he will soon greatly bleed out. If they knew, don’t know what kind of expression they will have? That kind of brilliantness, if not near the scene, afraid will be very difficult to imagine. Jing Wan strangely looked forwards to it somewhat.

“That’s why, wangye also had this wife thrown into the scheme as well?” Jing Wan pretended to be angry.

Li Hong Yuan leaned closer, intimately rubbing against Jing Wan, “It’s all this husband’s fault, freely allowing wife to punish.”

Jing Wan angrily glared at him. For this man, that was unable to stay serious for more than three seconds. Sometimes, he really made one very much want to whip him to death.

Li Hong Yuan was completely unmoved, his lips hooking into a seductive mile, “Perhaps, Wan Wan still has something else you want to say?”

This clearly was intentionally indicating something. Jing Wan right now, because of getting bothered by him, didn’t think too much, just reaching out to push him, attempting to let him stay a little farther away.

Li Hong Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed. In the depths, a certain emotion condensed. Although it wasn’t that obvious on the outside, but at this very moment, he was indeed quite unhappy.
