Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-464-2

Jing Wan was actually a bit baffled by the Grand Elder Princess’s gaze, still unable to guess her actual intentions. However, it should go without saying that as the adoptive mother, she probably didn’t have any ill will, and Jing Wan also believed herself to be upright, with nothing to hide, “Towards opera plays, I’m actually not that familiar with. If adoptive mother feels it’s not bad, then whenever you want to listen, just bring word, and I’ll let the acting troupe go to your manor to perform for you.”

“En, in the future, if there’s the opportunity.” The Grand Elder Princess didn’t refuse. In the end, her relationship with Jing Wan wasn’t ordinary. If too distant, then it will clearly be going overboard. Boundaries didn’t necessarily need to be drawn clearly at all times.

During the latter half, Mu An came over to look for Jing Wan, “Wangfei, wangye previously agreed to let the two acting troupes switch places. This while, it’s more or less about time, what do you think……..”

Li Hong Yuan previously didn’t mention with her, but the matter her husband decided wasn’t anything serious either, so Jing Wan naturally won’t go against. Just, “Who proposed to switch?” In Jing Wan’s eyes, it definitely wouldn’t be her husband voluntarily suggesting.

“It was the other wangyes.”

Jing Wan immediately understood, “Alright, since that’s the case, then just switch them.” En, there was no need to inquire the crowd’s opinion. In any case, for these womenfolk, what they normally watched was also for the most part male acting troupes. After all, if not an acting troupe belonging to one’s family, then every time watching, there will always be a lot people, and the people of the acting troupes usually weren’t allowed to freely move around, as such there weren’t that many taboos.

The two courtyards, in reality, didn’t even have actual walls. The place for the performers to put on the makeup and change were all in one place, just partitioned in the middle, that’s all. As such, changing sides was actually very simple, and didn’t even need to disturb the people watching. In the next act, it was just switching the people going on stage, a very simple matter.

After switching, many people didn’t even notice anything different, just feeling that the people on stage were probably another batch of people. Of course, for those play watching gluttons, they were still able to tell at a glance.

During the first song after switching, about halfway through, they suddenly discovered that on the male guests’ side, it was seemingly increasingly lively, overflowing with enthusiasm, even affecting this side. Clearly before, it was for the most part all keeping to themselves.

Thus, some people were baffled, what were these men excited about? Wasn’t it all the same? Could it be that the discrepancy of the performance was very big for the two sides, and the one on the male guests’ side was particularly brilliant? As such, some people just started making jokes at Jing Wan, “Jin Qinwang and wangfei is favoring one side and discriminating against the other?”

This question, Jing Wan really wasn’t able to answer. How should she answer? She can’t just directly say that those men, upon seeing beauties, naturally just got excited, right? If she really were to say this, she will just end up getting criticized.

Jing Wan had misgivings, but the Grand Elder Princess completely didn’t, “Favoring one side and discriminating against the other is rather unlikely. It’s merely just men’s bad habits acting up again, the two eyes lighting up when seeing beautiful women. It can’t be more normal.”

There were some that still didn’t understand, but through the people by their side’s reminder, they also instantly understood, all shutting their mouths, not wanting to continue asking. After all, on the male guests’ side, there was also their own husband. Women, towards their own man’s lustful nature, always detested bitterly, but towards their own son, they nevertheless would always worry that there’s not enough people serving him. It was always such double standards.

Towards Jing Wan, they inwardly resented. That being said, they similarly only dared to be angry, but didn’t dare to comment.

These people’s reaction were actually within reason, so Jing Wan was very calm, completely not minding. No matter how those people clamored over there, they still can only just look at. To want to hold in hand and eat, that was absolutely impossible.

The Grand Elder Princess patted Jing Wan’s hand, “No need to bother with them. Men have vices, but how do women not necessarily have them too. Women’s vice is just, while clearly knowing it was their own man’s problem, they still insist on blaming the heavens and resenting others, believing that it’s the vixens outside seducing them, forcibly having themselves forced into a resentful wife. As the saying goes, one palm cannot sound a clap. If not for the men themselves having crooked thoughts, would the women outside even be able to cling on and not let go?” The Grand Elder Princess sneered as she said this.

For the Grand Elder Princess to say this kind of thing, Jing Wan was somewhat surprised, but thinking again, it was also within reason. After all, regardless of what kind of environment and background people were under, there will always be some ‘odd ones’. If everyone’s thoughts were all the same and unchanging, then there wouldn’t exist the rise and falls in the long river of history.

Jing Wan smiled. To be able to get along with people that had thoughts that resonated with one’s own, it was always delightful.

And the Grand Elder Princess’s voice wasn’t suppressed in the slightest. As such, the people that heard these words truly weren’t few.

However, these people, out of ten, at least nine will all be highly skilled, their true emotions not expressing on the surface, and that was even the most basic skill. That’s why, even if feeling unbearably ashamed inside, on the surface, they were still able to smile appropriately.

When the show finally ended, more than half the afternoon had already gone by. Majority of the people also for the most part chose to take their leave at this time.

With everyone taking their leave, the ones that needed Jing Wan to step in weren’t consider many, yet it wasn’t few either.

Just, when certain young ladies and young madams spoke with Jing Wan, Jing Wan kept feeling that they were somewhat passive aggressive. Otherwise, it was just looking to her with bitter eyes, seemingly like she’d done something very sorry to them. Jing Wan couldn’t help but feel goosebumps all over. Afterwards, she saw their elders coldly scowl at them, and then smilingly apologize to Jing Wan, letting her not take offense and so on.

Jing Wan was still confused, unable to make sense of it, and could only nod and brush over it first. Then, recalling the matter previously when entering the show garden, something that originally had already been forgotten, looking at it now, it was very necessary to go look into.

There was no need to ask others. Asking Gong mama was completely not a problem. Firstly, she won’t hide from her, and secondly, she was here the whole time, so everything that happened, she was all clearly aware of.

Gong mama naturally had everything told to her in detail.

After hearing, Jing Wan for a moment sunk into speechlessness. Afterwards, she inwardly cursed, what the hell, what was all this?

Ever since marrying a certain someone, a certain someone’s peach blossoms for the most part have never stopped blooming. But, there was a premise, and that was that these people were all completely unfamiliar with the living Enma, just knowing that he was good looking and possessed a high status. What his personality was like, they were completely unaware. Moreover, those peach blossoms all just bloomed one by one, unlike this time, a large cluster blooming all at once.

Jing Wan felt that perhaps this was just the beginning, and that there was probably even more waiting to come.

All say that Jin Qinwang was carefree and lustful. In the past, the beauties by his side have never ceased before. But, ever since Jing Wan entered the capital, the ‘love affairs’ regarding a certain someone seemingly all happened prior to her entering the capital. Even if he’d started cutting off the rumors at that time, carefully thinking it over, it has already been nearly two years. Having fermented for this long, no matter how slow of a person, should have already come to realization. And today, his gentleness and consideration towards her just became a fuse, having this matter thoroughly blown up.

Jin Qinwang cursed wives, but right now, wasn’t she still perfectly fine? Moreover, no one said he cursed concubines. With her blocking in front, what should they be scared of?

Li Hong Yuan didn’t have a side consort, and didn’t have concubines, but he was a qinwang, having countless wealth, and further possessing unfaltering imperial favor. Even if he had a bunch of wives and concubines, getting thought of by others was also natural and expected. Right now, it was just all concentrated in one place.

Even if Jing Wan knows that he won’t have others by his side, at least, until he no longer loved her, it would be like so, and Jing Wan was willing to believe that he will love her for a lifetime, thus this problem, she didn’t need to worry about, and didn’t need to consider, she still was a bit sulky inside. No matter who, encountering this kind of thing, all won’t be happy.
