Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 279.4: Calculating Altogether

This time, everyone became anxious again.

Jing Wan sighed, “This is also something that can’t be helped. I can urge wangye to step back, but can’t let him completely yield.”

“It’s us that’s being too much. It goes without saying that for wangfei to be able to come this far, it’s already not easy.”

“If I have to say, wangfei is right, that unfilial bastard should ought to properly get taught a lesson. If they don’t learn from their lesson this time, then in future, falling into someone else’s hand again, we won’t be that lucky as to have another person like wangfei mediating from within. When time comes, is it to let them give up their life, or let the whole family be thrown in?” One of the madams coldly spoke.

One just knew at a glance, this was someone that came for the sake of a shu son. However, her words were very reasonable. Thus, they all hardened their hearts, even expressing, as long as it’s not losing an arm or leg, wangye can feel free to let someone sort out. Afterwards, they finally bid their farewell in succession.

Just, as they were departing, their faces just revealed a mournful look. Jing Wan inwardly exclaimed, as expected, each and every one was a skilled actor.

Even the people serving them, seeing their appearance, all realized, afraid the situation was far from good, carefully serving, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Not long after they left, Li Hong Yuan just came over. The servant girls were still cleaning up the mess.

“Wangye is finished with the matters on that side?” Jing Wan asked.

“Long finished, not like I needed to specifically do anything, merely just a matter of a few words. Rather, on your side, endless without end. Women are just troublesome.”

“What are you saying?” Jing Wan glared at him.

“Not talking about you, not talking about you, these troublesome women definitely don’t include you. I rather wish Wan Wan can be more troublesome, coming to trouble me at all times.” Li Hong Yuan quickly coaxed.

“When that time really comes, you’ll probably disdain.”

“At most it’s just doing a bit of something else, definitely won’t let you be disdained.” Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled, cupping her face and just firmly kissing. Jing Wan was just about to reach out and slap him aside, but Li Hong Yuan knew to quit while he was ahead, sitting by her side, playing with her fingers, “What all did you talk with them about?”

Jing Wan didn’t avoid either, telling everything in full detail. Afterwards, saying with a smile, “What thoughts does wangye have?”

“What thoughts does Wan Wan want me to have?” Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly asked.

“Didn’t consult with you and just promised to reduce the money for them, carried out slander towards you, saying you don’t have awareness towards money, helped women scheme against men, no matter which one probably all won’t make one comfortable.” Jing Wan bent her fingers, enumerating one by one with Li Hong Yuan.

“Number one, that’s something within expectations, and the original purpose was just to let you do this. Number two, your husband, I, indeed don’t have much awareness towards money. Number three, what do those people have to do with me? To have misunderstandings with my own wife because of them, are they that important? Good darling, although you have a bit of improvement, but still far from enough. Regardless of what you want to do, just do it, even if it’s my decision. Stabbing a hole, I’ll patch it up, mishaps occur, I will fix. That’s why, no need to have misgivings.”

“Ah Yuan, you can very easily have a person spoiled rotten like this, you know? Many things can’t be casually joked about. Causing trouble, mishaps occurring, it’s not something you can always patch or fix. For instance, when a person dies, they can’t come back to life. These, you all understand, no?”

“I know, and understand. Whenever speaking of these things, you just become this serious. Say, with you like this, even if I want to spoil you, will it be easy? Should say, it’s not you doing something and me coming to fix the terrible mess, but rather me doing something, and you coming to clean up. In my heart lives a beast called ‘recklessly wanton’, and you are the chains binding it, so as to prevent me from making an irreversible mistake. That’s why, Wan Wan, you really don’t need to have any misgivings. For you, as long as there’s one thing that will make you lose your rationality, I promise, that thing absolutely won’t happen.”

To not stir up emotions was just that, but once stirred up, it will make one’s heart unbearable. As expected, facing this bastard, she shouldn’t have incited this kind of conversation. Jing Wan held back her tears, saying with a smile, “Perhaps two things, if something happens to you…………….”

“Crow’s mouth.” Li Hong Yuan directly sealed her mouth with a kiss, “Wan Wan, even if it’s dying, you will definitely die before me. I won’t leave you behind to handle my funeral arrangements.”

“Hey, you’re several years older than me, never mind if it’s dying of old age, if not, I’ll be losing out too much.”

“Of course it’ll be dying of old age. I will work hard to live longer than you. We not only will ‘share the bed quilt in life, and share the grave in death’, but also will share a coffin.”

Jing Wan smiled, using her chin to rub against his shoulder, “Okay.”

They quietly held each other for a while.

“Ah Yuan, how much money should we reduce for them?”

“Kaiming Fu, as well as the entire Tong Prefecture, all have problems. This is something that doesn’t need to be doubted. Kaiming Fu is an administrative city, and also the prefectural seat. That’s why the problem is exceptionally serious. However, the ones that need to be sorted out are also just those few. Because the purpose of this trip isn’t here, that’s why it’s not easy to thoroughly investigate. Otherwise, we’ll just end up with the suspicion of exceeding our place and meddling in other affairs. Clearly knowing there’s a problem, yet didn’t let you touch, but you touched anyways, that one on throne will be unhappy. For me to stay in Kaiming Fu, it’s for the sake of beating the grass to scare the snake. When time comes, without needing to do anything, he himself will start moving. This money, just reduce it by however much you like. And the people you want to sort out, also don’t need to hold back. That General Commissioner isn’t a good thing either.”

“Okay.” As for that bunch of degenerates they brought back, it’s not her husband that want to vent, it’s her that wants to properly teach them how to behave like a human being. However, that Governor-General’s son, Jing Wan won’t bother with. This petty man definitely won’t let him off. To be able to let him remain completely intact was already not bad. “The Left Captain of the Black Clad Guards, you also had him sent out?” Jing Wan seemingly just saw Yu Zhong Qing’s figure. These two people previously were ‘inseparable like a shadow’ the whole time.

“Assisting the others on the assignment.”

Afterwards, they no longer went out. It’s best to wait until this matter is thoroughly settled before going out to play again.

After having the irrelevant people sent away, Li Hong Yuan also became quite idle. Jing Wan didn’t go out, so he didn’t go out either, the definition of ‘having a wife, all things satisfied’.

And this while, no one was able to find out any news from the villa. Each and every one all could only be caught blind.

The living Enma’s style previously, that was definitely matching with the letters, but his conduct now, practically was just like having become a different person.

If not for the various madams all going to the villa every day, able to meet with Jin Wangfei every day, and occasionally would even see Jin Qinwang, they all would have thought that there was no one inside.

Of course, it’s said that the hours their madams sat waiting for an audience increased day by day, and if not considering for the reputation, perhaps would have gotten rejected at the door.

However, the result of their madams’ unwavering perseverance was nevertheless joyous. On the fifth day, Jin Wangfei no longer appeared, yet gave word that the money will be reduced to one tenth. In other words, the initial ‘corpse buying’ money. The originally one hundred thousand taels to nine hundred thousand taels was now ten thousand taels to ninety thousand taels. Each and every family was all able to bring out. There was nothing more to be said.

And the madams were all very grateful towards Jing Wan. What they obtained from the home far surpassed their estimation, greatly feeling refreshed.

Originally, it’s not that they didn’t suspect this was actually a play acted out by Jin Qinwang and Jin Wangfei, but the matter of the Governor-General’s son humiliating a poor scholar couldn’t have possibly been long known by them. Besides, the benefits of this entire matter in the very end seemingly was also just Jin Wangfei having a good benevolent reputation. What use could this have? And the officials also won’t because of having to pay less money, just be deeply grateful towards Jin Qinwang. That’s why, this seemingly didn’t have anything to do with Jin Qinwang’s assignment in Jiangnan. After thinking left and right, it was still Jin Wangfei’s conduct that was truly the most reliable.

Regardless of whether or not this was real, as the madams who genuinely obtained benefits, they all will have this play sung to the very end.

After giving out the news, each family all quickly returned home to ‘raise money’, and afterwards, successively delivered it over.

Corresponding each respective official post, however much should be given was how much they gave, everyone all very successful. The only one that wasn’t successful was just the General Commissioner. Others getting a discount, he didn’t have a share.

General Commissioner, low second rank, eight hundred thousand taels, not a single copper coin less. To want to have the person retrieved with eighty thousand taels, no way! ———–Jin Qinwang said, the General Commissioner letting his Ru Madam visit is an insult towards his wangfei, which is just an insult towards him. He stated that he was very displeased. That’s why, eight hundred thousand taels, the slightest bit less, all don’t even think about asking for the person. Aside from this, also don’t think about claiming the corpse with eighty thousand taels.

Receiving this news, the General Commissioner nearly fainted.

For those that learned about this matter, not one didn’t sigh endlessly. Favoring a concubine also needed to have a limit. Exceeding the proper etiquettes will ask for one’s life.

However, Jin Qinwang, as someone who didn’t particularly abide by the rules, on this bit, was rather surprisingly serious on etiquette. In the end, it was still because he valued the current Jin Wangfei. If the person was switched, perhaps this won’t be the case. However, who would know?

In addition, the Governor-General’s family also had a small problem. Two million five hundred thousand taels got reduced to two hundred fifty thousand taels, but when collecting, just collected two hundred and forty thousand taels. The original one million five hundred thousand taels was for buying back his son’s various body parts. The other one million thousand taels was for ruining wangye and wangfei’s elegant mood. In reality, the last part, wangfei had it pardoned. Just, he was a second rank high official, so the ransom for his son should be nine hundred thousand taels. Thus, the final result was just two hundred forty thousand taels.

The Governor-General choked on a mouthful of old blood, unable to spit out, unable to swallow. Should he be thankful that they collected a hundred thousand taels less of ‘mood ruining money’? Or be resentful that his son’s one life, he bought twice?

Having given the money, yet his child wasn’t seen, this matter wasn’t considered over with.
