Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-413-4

On the other side, Li Hong Yuan already met with Noble Consort Su, half-heartedly greeting. However, Li Hong Yuan has always been this way, so Noble Consort Su didn’t feel there was anything wrong.

Afterwards, Noble Consort Su subconsciously just wanted to pull over Li Hong Yuan’s arm, yet got avoided by Li Hong Yuan.

For a moment, the expression on Noble Consort Su’s face froze, and afterwards, sullenly sighed, “Yuan’er really is becoming estranged with consort mother.”

“What business does consort mother have calling this son over?” Li Hong Yuan indifferently asked.

As for Noble Consort Su’s sorrowful look, he was just like as if he didn’t see, completely indifferent. If placed in the past, he perhaps would console Noble Consort Su a few word, but now, sorry, he no longer had that mood. As for how Noble Consort Su will interpret his reaction, Li Hong Yuan also wasn’t interested in learning.

Noble Consort Su this time really was a bit at a loss for what to do. Looking to Li Hong Yuan, the worry on her face endlessly amplified with the passing of time. In the end, she helplessly opened her mouth, carrying a bit of caution, “Yuan’er is angry at consort mother because of the matter earlier? But Yuan’er, today is your imperial father’s birthday after all, and that is also your blood related brother. Privately messing around like this is okay, but in front of that many people, brothers fighting, your imperial father certainly will lose face. Moreover, if something really were to happen by chance, your imperial father certainly won’t…………”

“Consort mother.” Li Hong Yuan’s patience had ran out, his expression increasingly cold, “In your eyes, this son is forever just a child that can’t grow up, believing whatever you say? This son has always extracted revenge on the spot, complained when there’s complaints, today’s matter never leaving until tomorrow. As such, in your eyes, it’s just being straightforward, not knowing to be roundabout? Could it be that you also believe that this son completely doesn’t understand those roundabout words of yours?”

Noble Consort Su was bewildered, “Y-Yuan’er, what do you mean by this?”

“What does it mean?” The disappointment on Li Hong Yuan’s face was hard to cover up, “Those brothers that merely just share half my blood, if really because of them, just be angry with consort mother, consort mother should think about it, would our mother-son relationship have been able to persist until today? As matters stand, consort mother still wants to feign ignorance and deceive this son? Then why don’t this son tell consort mother directly, Luo-shi is the daughter-in-law you’ve been looking forward to for six years. This son’s previous finacees, each and every one all met with mishap, yet she was able to smoothly marry into Jin Qinwang Manor, wholeheartedly treating this son. Just based on this bit, shouldn’t consort mother treat her a bit better? Without her, would consort mother still be able to find a second woman that won’t get cursed by this son’s fate? Even if setting aside this bit, Luo-shi also has never once done anything wrong, so why are you targeting her in all aspects, constantly hiding needle in your words, setting up traps everywhere again and again? Last time, during the welcoming banquet for Former Wei and Qiang, this son thought, consort mother should understand this son’s meaning, but unfortunately, you didn’t. Luo-shi is one with me as husband and wife. Her honor and disgrace is closely tied to this son’s. When consort mother is targeting her, are you sure you can have me completely cast aside? You are publicly known as the best mother-in-law in the entire inner palace. Towards third sister-in-law, you are able to view as your own, yet how come towards Luo-shi, you just dislike this much? This son isn’t asking for much either, not requiring you to be good towards her. As long as you don’t target her, it’s more than enough. Is merely just this all impossible?”

Noble Consort Su’s lips trembled, unknown as to whether it was because of being at a loss for what to do after getting seen through by her son, or angered because of her son constantly siding with his wife.

“Consort mother, this son although wasn’t given birth to by you, one was nevertheless raised by you. Your efforts, this son all knows. As the saying goes, the favor of raising is greater than that of birth. Your good, this son will remember all one’s life. What kind of person you are, and what kind of personality you have, this son doesn’t care, because you are consort mother. In the past, regardless of what, I never questioned or cared, not because I didn’t understand or didn’t know, but because it was unrelated to me, and similarly because you are consort mother. But now, what consort mother has done, truly has made this son’s heart grow cold. This son doesn’t know why you would be like this, is it because imperial father is aging more and more, and in your eyes, even I have all become third imperial brother’s obstruction? That’s why, you dislike Luo-shi. In reality, you’re not targeting Luo-shi, but rather this son, right?”

“Of course not, Yuan’er, how can you think like this, how can you?” Noble Consort Su was exceptionally worked up. Getting misunderstood by her son as such, Noble Consort Su practically broke down. That part regarding Jing Wan got cleanly tossed aside.

“Then why don’t consort mother tell me, what’s the reason for targeting Luo-shi, and don’t say there isn’t any.”

Noble Consort Su’s mouth opened and closed, yet was unable to speak. She knew that this son was actually very smart, yet never thought that he would see through her this thoroughly. How she treated Liu-shi (Rui Wangfei) exactly, this son has actually never seen before. In reality, it was also because of her. Whenever this son was present, she would never say anything about Liu-shi. To tell him now that she actually treated her two daughter-in-laws the same, would he believe? Also, because Liu-shi was obedient, and Luo-shi disobeyed her, that’s why she would target Luo-shi regardless of the occasion, can she tell him?

“Consort mother has nothing to say? To avoid that last bit of feelings from getting erased, in the future, this son will enter the palace as little as possible. This son will take one’s leave.” Li Hong Yuan turned and left, leaving quite resolutely.

“Yuan’er, Yuan’er, stop right there, come back, listen to consort mother explain, it’s not like that, really not……………”

Unfortunately, towards Noble Consort Su’s chasing and shouts, Li Hong Yuan was completely unmoved. And the people by Noble Consort Su’s side simply didn’t dare to block him. Even if Noble Consort Su tripped, falling onto the ground, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to be startled. Li Hong Yuan also just paused once, but still left without turning back.

Such a disturbance, the people nearby naturally all noticed, just temporarily not knowing the details. After all, this wasn’t Noble Consort Su’s Yucui Palace.

On the other side, Jing Wan found Luo Pei Shan and Luo Old Madam. Luo Pei Shan, this esteemed first rank high official, didn’t go to discuss important matters of the court with his colleagues, instead accompanying his own wife in cracking melon seeds and chatting about family affairs, causing those noble madams that wanted to look for Luo Old Madam all feel too embarrassed to approach.

“Who doesn’t know that Jin Qinwang likes to stick to his wife closely, how come this while had you let out?” Luo Pei Shan teased.

“That’s why, grandfather is learning from wangye, sticking to grandmother and not letting go?” Jing Wan unhesitantly ‘retorted’.

“Cough, cough, cough…………” Luo Pei Shan clearly didn’t expect that Jing Wan would say this, choking quite severely, having a burst of violent coughs.

Luo Old Madam hurriedly patted his back for him, reproachingly glancing at Jing Wan, “This girl, really is becoming more and more outrageous.”

Jing Wan also knew of her fault, hurriedly pouring a cup of water to apologize.

Luo Pei Shan finally calmed down, feeling both heartbroken and angry, “My perfectly fine precious granddaughter, in just this bit of time, just got led astray by Jin Qinwang.”

“Enough you, know to stop before going too far.” Luo Old Madam reprimanded Sir Luo.

Luo Pei Shan obediently shut his mouth, pouting at Jing Wan as he pointed his mouth towards Luo Old Madam, the meaning: ‘See, your grandmother right now is just awfully mean. In the entire family, she’s actually the boss. If she says one, no one dares to say two.’

Jing Wan directly laughed out loud, laughing very unreservedly.

After joking around, they still asked about Li Hong Yuan’s whereabouts. After receiving the answer, the two elders clearly also recalled Noble Consort Su’s certain actions, naturally feeling furious inside.

However, Jin Qinwang and Noble Consort Su had a good relationship, so Luo Old Madam still more or less minded somewhat. The problems between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as the person stuck in the middle, once he lean towards one direction, the other side will very much suffer.

“Don’t worry grandmother, some things, aren’t as simple as it appears on the surface.”

The two elders were both extremely sharp, so instantly understood, relaxing their worries, not asking anymore.
