The Opposite Effect Couldn’t Be Heavier (1)

T/N: I can’t believe I’ve finally reached chapter 300, almost halfway through this novel ;;v;; there’s a total of 657 chapters including the extras, we’ll be halfway chapter-wise around 328.

“Let those people outside get lost however far they can for this prince.”

This order of Li Hong Yuan’s rather wasn’t all that surprising either. Jing Wan’s wet nurse softly answered, turning around and going out to pass on the word.

Not long after, the sound just faded, even some other noises all disappeared without a trace. This clearing of the place really was quite thorough.

Li Hong Yuan closed his eyes, just unsure whether he was dozing off, or preparing to go back to sleep again.

Jing Wan slept until she naturally woke up, not that much later from her usual time. Without the habit of procrastinating in bed, she directly got up, washing her face and rinsing her mouth, and also appropriately exercised her arms and legs. When she turned back, a certain someone was even propping up his head with one hand, a silk blanket hanging at the waist, his eyes half open, staring at Jing Wan. That posture really was quite seductive.

Speaking of which, despite having that many things, most of the articles in this room of theirs all didn’t get moved away, especially the things on the bed. The bedroom was a place those officials didn’t dare to set foot in, so no matter how lavish and extravagant it was all no problem. If even this bit of treatment was gone, then Li Hong Yuan probably really will unhesitantly slaughter people.

Facing this man long term, to not shorten one’s life by a few years was all abnormal. Jing Wan pinched her nose. Even if not a face-lover all would be imperceptibly influenced into a face-lover, and even if not a lustful woman, facing this kind of husband, to not pounce on, one would all be sorry to oneself. In any case, Jing Wan also felt she was increasingly losing her bottom limit, increasingly breaking her sense of shame. Thus, she unhesitantly pounced over, leaving behind two teeth marks on Li Hong Yuan’s chest, then kissing till she was full, then lifting her head and smiling at him like a flower. Afterwards, she even used her tongue to lick her lips, a look of wishing to continue.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t move, and didn’t respond either, just freely letting Jing Wan act. Seeing this appearance of Jing Wan’s, he finally revealed an ambiguously smiling expression, reaching out and lightly hooking the back of Jing Wan’s head, his fingertips caressing the edge of her hair, “Wan Wan being this passionate this early in the morning, was it that this husband wasn’t attentive enough in serving last night? Do you want to make it up now?”

The tip of Jing Wan’s ears turned red, yet she didn’t shrink back, her finger drawing circles on his shoulder, “Couldn’t be more attentive, just, not allowing me to reflect on the taste?”

“Allow, what is there to not allow. This husband also want to reflect on the taste.” Solely letting his wife eat tofu wasn’t Li Hong Yuan’s style.

After another round of messing around, Li Hong Yuan finally got up slowly, letting Jing Wan clumsily change clothes for him. If encountering an impatient one, they mostly likely would’ve been driven crazy by Jing Wan. Fortunately, Li Hong Yuan was amply patient, not having the slightest intention of wanting to help out. Even so, the final result didn’t make one satisfied either.

Towards herself being more or less raised into ‘the ninth degree of handicap at life’, Jing Wan expressed that she was a bit ashamed. She, as a wife, probably was the most unqualified. However, recalling that her own husband simply doesn’t mind, see, he just swiftly tidied himself up. The little blemishes Jing Wan left behind just got taken care of. Even if covered in coarse cotton clothing, he was still majestic in appearance, and extraordinarily handsome. Jing Wan was bold and confident again. It can’t be helped, her fate was good.

Then again, it was also that Li Hong Yuan didn’t know Jing Wan’s thoughts, else if he knew, he probably would only heartache even more. What she didn’t know was how bad her fate actually was. No matter how good it was now, in a certain sense, it still wasn’t enough to compensate. However, Li Hong Yuan actually was also quite glad that she didn’t know, or ‘don’t remember’. That kind of life, probably no one was willing to walk.

Having ‘madly messed around’, Jing Wan also needed to redress and re-groom herself.

Soon after, the two of them also simply ate some things.

Once everything was all in order, Jing Wan finally exited the room with Li Hong Yuan. Being caught off guard, Jing Wan truly had gotten startled.

The layout of the water fort was different from ordinary buildings to begin with, not having things like small courtyards and such. However, in front of each home and household, for the most part, was a terrace, and between each was also various kinds of wooden bridges linking together, also occasionally having up and down wooden stairs. And the single most spacious terrace, that was just the same function as the threshing floor of a village, mostly used to dry crops and such in the sun. From a place higher than its position, one for the most part immediately saw after exiting the door. And right now, ‘drying in the sun’ was a slew of people, moreover each even donning official attire. Even the one with the lowest rank was all more than enough to make any single person from this water fort revere. At this time, the great majority of the people perhaps finally clearly recognized Li Hong Yuan’s out of the ordinary status. One has to know, when seeing him in the beginning, they could still curiously gaze from afar, but at this time, practically every family shut the gates and closed the doors.

TN: All

In reality, this kind of attitude was very easy to comprehend. Firstly, majority of the people actually don’t know Li Hong Yuan’s identity, and secondly, with information and news being inaccessible to the people, many people don’t really understand what a qinwang signifies, and usually was even less fearful towards in authoritative might than the ‘county magistrate’ that they were able to see or frequently hear about in close distance. This bunch right now, randomly picking one out, all would be able to make someone like a county magistrate be extremely deferential towards, yet at this time, were all like grandsons standing there with their heads lowered and their hands at their side, not saying a single word.

Such a person, how can they not fear?

“When did everyone arrive?” Jing Wan quietly inquired her servant girl.

“Replying to wangfei, yesterday in the middle of the night, the sirs all started arriving in succession. The latest was also about two hours ago.”

“After coming, they just stood there the whole time?” In the middle of the night, they just continuously stood there blowing in the cold wind? Everyone has really had it hard!

“Yes, the commoners of the water fort all didn’t dare to approach, and everyone also didn’t say they needed to borrow a place to rest. Afterwards, the people of the water fort gave them some warm soup, then two hours ago, everyone came over to this side but got driven away by wangye.” Qing Zhu clearly explained.

Jing Wan realized, when they’d came over, it was mostly likely when she was still fast asleep. Very good, Jin Qinwang tyrannically helped her carry the black pot again.

Jing Wan didn’t follow over. It wasn’t very appropriate, and it also wasn’t necessary.

After Li Hong Yuan left, Jing Wan let someone move over a small stool, sitting on the edge of the small terrace outside. Looking down from above, she was able to see the majority of the water fort, as well as the gleaming crystalline water surface. This place had good mountains and good water. Staying here for a short period of time was still not bad. However, the humidity was too heavy, so residing long term probably wasn’t doable, but Jing Wan saw that the people of the water fort were all very healthy. Perhaps it was having unique ways of dispelling the moisture. “Qing Zhu, how’s Sir…….Sun’s situation?”

“Sir Sun already doesn’t have any major problems. Last night, he’d already woken once. Towards curing snake venom, the people of the water fort very much have their way. The snake venom for the most part has already been completely cleared out. After resting some more, and recuperating for a few days, it’ll be all right. Just, in the beginning, it actually wasn’t discovered, but Sir Sun’s right ankle had also been injured. Reportedly, when it was discovered, it had already swollen into a bun. The injury in that area probably need a relatively long time to heal.” Qing Zhu systematically narrated in full detail.

Jing Wan fell silent for a moment, “It’s good that the person is fine. Let wet nurse go see him, just say, the past is already dead, please take care.”
