Too Happy Too Soon (2)

This while, it was also needless to put on an act. In any case, the officials also didn’t dare to approach, unable to hear what they’re saying. Jing Wan let someone quickly treat the wound for them.

Li Hong Yuan watched Jing Wan rush about in worry, his expression indifferent, a look of ‘not concerning oneself’.

Just, when the bodyguards, under the others’ help, had the injuries on them mostly treated, Li Hong Yuan appeared. They hurriedly got up, “Greetings master.”

Li Hong Yuan casually waved his hand, “What’s the situation?”

“Replying to master, should purely be an accident. After taking care of the wolves, and carefully checking the situation in the surroundings, there weren’t any abnormalities.”

However, towards this answer, Li Hong Yuan wasn’t all that satisfied. “An Yi, send word to the people outside, investigate again.” He was very clear, there was still at least a batch of people hidden in the dark, unrelated to those real water bandits. Just, Pei clan leader’s sudden move interrupted the other party’s plans. The problem was, at present, they haven’t discovered these people’s tracks. The people that stayed behind in Kaiming Fu to keep an eye on those officials also didn’t pass on any valuable news. That’s why, they still can’t relax their guard just yet.

“Yes.”

Looking at it now, the people left by Li Hong Yuan’s side, if not ‘weak’, then it was just injured. Moreover, the servants were further far from enough, so it should be considered a pretty good opportunity.

However, this matter also didn’t need to be rushed. No matter what, still need to reach Chongzhou Fu first. This place, even if having decent looking girls, that still wasn’t their own people.

Everything was all set and ready.

Because a section of the waterway in between was narrow, the large ships unable to enter, they similarly could only use small boats, and with the number of people right now being too many, they naturally could only divide into groups. Once the large batch of government soldiers have more or less departed, they finally carefully asked Li Hong Yuan and them to leave.

Just like previously when Li Hong Yuan met with them, he didn’t make things difficult for them, just leaving when asked, but the officials that came from Kaiming Fu were exceptionally nervous, because the Jin Qinwang at this time was increasingly cold, clearly holding in a stomach of anger. The more fiercely he held it in, when exploding, naturally the more intense it will be. It would be better to just vent away some right now. One has to know, the anger back in Kaiming Fu all still haven’t been vented out yet. Their mood imperceptibly infected the people of Shannan Prefecture. As such, all the officials seemingly all appeared a bit timid and cowering. The time was still considered early, the sun still far from reaching overhead, yet the sweat beads just fell one by one.

When Jing Wan saw, she even felt that bit of pity towards them. Was the living Enma just that scary? However, at this time, she naturally can’t tear down her own husband’s stage. Even if dressed in plain cotton clothing, she still appropriate maintained her bearing, carrying a cold face, expressing that she was also quite unhappy. Her gaze swept over Tong Prefecture’s former Governor-General. Just successively dropped three ranks, isn’t that a bit too few? Then, glancing at the ‘big winner’ Inspector General Su, it was still that deferential and humble look.

Once they all boarded the small boat and successively left, two government soldiers finally knocked open Sun Yi Lin’s door, “Sir Sun, it’s time to leave.”

“Come in then.” Sun Yi Lin’s voice sounded, containing neither sorrow nor joy.

These two people just happened to be people that had followed Sun Yi Lin in searching, so naturally knew of Sun Yi Lin’s current state. Some gossips couldn’t be said, but they actually quite sympathized with Sun Yi Lin. Say, you’re majestic in appearance, have a strong background, and also deeply favored by his Majesty, residing in an important position at a young age, your future prospects limitless, with many good girls in the world waiting for you to pick, yet how come you just had to fall for a married woman? Alright, this kind of thing they also didn’t understand. Perhaps Jin Wangfei really was that good.

Clearly it hadn’t been that long ago, yet when Jing Wan boarded the government boat on the canal again, she actually had a kind of distracted feeling. This experience seemingly really was a bit special. This was even attributed to a certain someone putting an end to the dangers, else it wouldn’t be the so-called ‘special’, but rather thrilling and stimulating. Thinking of that scene, will one like? Having not experienced before, it was really hard to say. However, unless someone that liked thrills to begin with, otherwise under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be anyone that would like.

TN: All

Because the canal was still sealed off, even having there were numerous government boats, there was still no need to clear the area beforehand. The entire journey was also smooth and unhindered.

Because there was continuous tail wind, their speed in reaching Chongzhou Fu was also quick. Chongzhou Fu’s dock naturally was inferior to Kaiming Fu’s. However, right now wasn’t the time to be looking at this.

Probably because of understanding Li Hong Yuan and the others’ situation, the required things were all prepared appropriately. Not only so, should say, the matters of the inner manor, it was still the women of the inner manor that further understood the twists and turns inside. The servant girls prepared were also first class. Perhaps originally not preparing to use, but seeing just those two three servant girls and old servant women, these official madams mutually looked to one another, smiling with a tacit understanding, all inwardly praising their own wise decision.

Qi Yuan’s imperial family didn’t have the hobby of building imperial residences everywhere. As such, the place they stayed at was also Chongzhou Fu’s best villa, temporarily not knowing who it belonged to.

Li Hong Yuan from beginning to end didn’t say a single word. After entering the villa, he also just directly headed inside. Although he didn’t clearly say, one kept sensing a kind of ‘fed up’ air.

That group of officials naturally stayed in the front courtyard, but the official madams entered the second gate.

The original courtyard guards and male servants that could be seen everywhere, right now, were all replaced with a slew of tender and beautiful servant girls.

Jin Qinwang had already disappeared without a trace, slightly feeling a bit regretful that they didn’t see his reaction.

“For the madams to have meticulously picked these people, must have gone through a lot of trouble.” Jing Wan faintly opened her mouth, but everyone could all tell, there was no smile reflected in her eyes.

The madams’ heart jumped inside, inwardly cursing ‘shit’. Having just focused on Jin Qinwang, they forgot about Jin Wangfei. As long as one was a woman, all won’t like someone placing beauties in front of one’s husband. Right now, placing this many, in her eyes, wasn’t it just especially offensive. Although everything all depended on Jin Qinwang, Jin Wangfei also can’t be neglected in the slightest. This pillow talk, sometimes, was stronger than anything.

One of the madam’s brain spun rather quickly, “To be able to serve wangye and wangfei, that is our honor, so what is this speak of trouble. However, these people were all picked from our various homes, so certainly not as good as the people by wangfei’s own side. Once the people by wangfei’s side arrives, these hinderances, whether wangfei keeps or dismisses, all just a word from you. Right now, just temporarily wronging wangye and you.”

Jing Wan nonchalantly nodded, and can be considered to have tacitly approved.

The madams secretly swept a glance again. About that, letting these people leave, at the very least still need two three days. Who knows whether or not during this period of time some unforeseen changes will occur. If Jin Qinwang sleeps with the person himself, can she even blame it on them? They were all secretly competing, just waiting to see which family’s climbs up first.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t………”

“Wangfei, wangfei, bad news…..” Eunuch Mu hastily ran over, his face deathly pale, “Wangye, wangye had the two servant girls that entered to serve in bathing……….”

Just succeeded this quick? Which family’s was this? The madams mutually looked to one another, inwardly containing anticipation.

Rather it was Jing Wan whose complexion instantly turned unpleasant, “Speak clearly.”

“Wangye had the person………..strangled to death.” Eunuch Mu said, a bit trembling. However, whether it was trembling for real, or pretending to tremble, only he himself knew.

Clearly, the madams were too happy too soon.
