Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-340-2

“Being born, growing old, falling ill, and dying, the cycle of life, the normality of humans. Besides, medicine all have three part poison. This sacred medicine for maintaining one’s beauty perhaps, in other areas, have negative side-effects. So why would I want it?” Exercising, in addition to a reasonable diet, and also maintaining a good state of mind was the best way to cultivate one’s health. “If the Pei clan really possess the prescription, and it’s also completely without side-effects, why won’t the Pei clan use it on their own?” Jing Wan’s gaze meaningfully landed on the Pei clan leader madam.

If really as Gong Jiu says, and this old madam has also used before, then right now, she should appear at most forty years old, but her appearance completely matched with her age.

“Hearing wangfei say this, this subordinate actually recalled that shifu once studied the incomplete anti-aging prescription before, but afterwards, didn’t continue researching anymore. Reportedly said to obstruct having children.”

Once Gong Jiu’s words came out, the atmosphere instantly froze. Even Pei Xiu Ying’s complexion turned deathly pale.

This kind of beauty maintaining sacred medicine was just for maintaining one’s appearance after all and didn’t have health benefits, and mostly used by women. Offering it to Jin Qinwang, who he would give to use, that was clear and easy to see, and under normal circumstances, no women would probably be able to refuse either, the premise being that they don’t know the side-effects.

And in Pei Xiu Ying’s heart, there was just one word: Impossible!

To say the Pei clan leader didn’t know the side-effects? That was definitely impossible. And for him to dare bring out this brazenly, it meant that within a short period of time, it was unable to be detected.

Li Hong Yuan looked towards the people of the Pei clan. His eyes were like as if containing ice and dipped with poison, his aura on full blast, entire a terrifying dark aura, “Truly a good scheme!”

This was practically just directly severing Jing Wan’s path. Even if she was deeply favored by Li Hong Yuan, and even if she’s able to stably sit on the position of Jin Wangfei, without a son, in the future, when Li Hong Yuan ascends the throne as emperor, she will also be unable to lift her head. And once Li Hong Yuan passes away, she won’t even know what kind of ending she’ll have. This method was practically even more malicious than directly having Jing Wan pulled down.

The Pei clan leader scheming against him, Li Hong Yuan won’t even bat an eye, but scheming onto Jing Wan, that was just greatly deserving of death!

The Pei clan leader madam had just improved a little after taking the medicine, yet this while, she was about to fall ill again, and before her eyes, it was further slowly darkening, nearly just fainting.

Pei Xiu Ying also could no longer endure, her legs going limp as she knelt down, “Wangye, wangye, please believe me, there’s absolutely no such thing. The anti-aging pill this commoner has also taken before. There’s no…………..” Seemingly as if recalling something, Pei Xiu Ying’s face was as pale as paper, not having the least bit of blood, her mouth directly trembling, “Impossible, impossible…………”

The other Pei clan young ladies also knelt down in succession, having gotten frightened by Li Hong Yuan to the point of trembling in fear. They probably never thought that such a godly handsome man that was as gentle as water towards Jin Wangfei, when angered, would be this scary. Where would they still be blushing, it was more so hating that they can’t run as far away as possible.

“What’s impossible? You, no matter what, were meticulously raised by him, so can’t possibly just abandon like this?” This stab by Li Hong Yuan couldn’t be more ruthless.

When Jing Wan looked to Pei Xiu Ying again, there was that bit of pity. If what Gong Jiu said was true, and if Pei Xiu Ying really had consumed the anti-aging pill, then she was just a chess piece through and through, fighting in the frontlines, yet in the end, was just making the wedding dress for the other girls of the Pei clan.

After all, as long as Li Hong Yuan accepts Pei Xiu Ying, then he will accept a second and third Pei clan daughter. She will fight with Jing Wan in front, while the other Pei clan daughters just silently stand behind this shield, and if something happens to Jing Wan, they can even have her pushed out. And the other reason why she would take the anti-aging pill was probably just for the sake of letting Jing Wan feel reassured and daringly eat. The Pei clan leader, that old thing, to be able to scheme to this degree, truly was for the sake of achieving his goal willing to use any means necessary, and can abandon anything.

However, the conditions were just unfavorable, encountering someone like Gong Jiu who knew inside information on the anti-aging pill. And even without Gong Jiu, Jing Wan, as someone with an out of the ordinary origin, towards medicine, this kind of thing, she also wasn’t interested in. No matter how meticulous of a plan, even the most surefire bit will also be destined to fall through.

Pei Xiu Ying was still unwilling to believe that her great-grandfather would do this, but she was very clear inside, he absolutely was someone that was capable of doing this kind of thing.

She righteously and fearlessly said everything was for the sake of the family clan, but it was also for the sake of her own thriving ambition. But now, she suddenly discovered that in the end, she was destined to become an abandoned chess piece? She has been proud for more than ten years, believing that she was the most outstanding, most beautiful, and most perfect woman. Even if some people had her compared with that paternal great-aunt, the former publicly acknowledged number one beauty of Jiangnan, she still didn’t have the other party taken seriously. After all, that was just a dead person, long having become dust, so what was there to care about? And the things she was proud of were also nothing more than the areas exploited by others.

Pei Xiu Ying, in this moment, also overflowed with hatred, yet there was also a kind of helplessness. Her everything was all controlled within her great-grandfather’s palm. He had her personality and temperament, everything in everything all grasped thoroughly. Rather than saying what she would do, it was better to say what he would lead her to do. She was the same as a stringed puppet in his hand, and the most lamentable part was that she herself was completely unaware. If not for getting exposed today, she, till death, perhaps would all be kept in the dark, and perhaps, he would also conceal from everyone.

“Gong Jiu, is this anti-aging pill easy to make or not?”

“Replying to wangye, as long as the prescription doesn’t have any problems, making the medicine rather isn’t hard.” Just, a portion of the medicinal ingredients were quite expensive, but master probably didn’t lack money the most.

“Good, how many a person needs to eat to not be able to have children, first make a hundred person share and let them take back. With the Pei clan main family at the center, the young ladies of marriageable age, the married Pei clan daughters that have yet to give birth to a boy, each person one share, all swallowed for this prince. Additionally, the Pei clan’s renowned great scholars, think of a way to have their reputation all ruined for this prince, and let those students of theirs all be ashamed of them, ashamed to admit that they are their disciple, letting them become the rat crossing the street.”

“Yes.”

Without a doubt, this move of Li Hong Yuan’s was directly attacking the Pei clan’s foundation, and moreover, was both ruthless and malicious. As long as it reaches his indicated goal, the Pei clan will immediately collapse.

This time, even the Pei clan leader madam all produced a deep fear towards Li Hong Yuan.

No matter how you the Pei clan leader scheme, encountering someone like him that has no misgivings whatsoever, able to do anything, you will only end in crushing defeat.

“Mu An, see out the guests.”

Eunuch Mu shivered, hurriedly standing out to do as told.

“Pei old madam, after going back, please properly rest up, and properly look after the younger generation’s servants. If from the Chuanzhou Fu Pei clan residence leak out anything that shouldn’t leak out, then be careful of evildoers attacking at night. If just killing and setting fire, so be it, just fearing that some people, after seeing the Pei clan’s beautiful young ladies, produce wicked thoughts, ruining a bunch of young ladies’ pure reputation, then it won’t be good.”

This threat was directly clutching these people’s lifeline.

A gasping sound came from the Pei clan leader madam’s throat, yet she was unable to say a single word, just looking to Li Hong Yuan like that. This was Guan Guan’s child? The more one looked, the more unlike, just feeling that face of Li Hong Yuan’s also growing increasingly distant, blurry and unclear. Her head sunk, thoroughly passing out. “Grandmother…………….”
