However, Jing Wan wasn’t a harsh person, and also wasn’t the kind to just view money as a number. She understood the difficulties and hardships. That’s why, this money, even if delaying, won’t delay for too long either.

Everyone was all well aware inside. That’s why, when the people of the Ministry of Works learned of this, perhaps they would be a bit fretful at first, but after coming to realization, it was also just fine. However, they probably would still helplessly and bitterly laugh inside. Whatever Jin Qinwang says, they could only do as told. Jin Qinwang ‘being stupid’ on his own, making Jin Wangfei angrily, yet need them to…………What was all this?

Of course, these were all later matters, no need to mention for the time being.

Li Hong Yuan pulled along Jing Wan, lightly holding her wrist, “Do you want to stroll around?” He casually patted his own beloved horse, “This place is bigger than you think. If it’s just walking, it’ll most likely be a bit tiring.”

Jing Wan glanced at the horse that recklessly ran around with its master earlier. And this horse, as if knowing that its female master was angry ‘because of it’, somewhat fawningly nuzzled against Jing Wan’s arm. As a result, before Jing Wan could even say anything, Li Hong Yuan just smacked his hand over, “My wife, don’t touch.”

Jing Wan was very speechless. Exactly was this randomly eating vinegar, or ‘taking action first’ and punishing his own beloved horse, so as to avoid her continuing to take her anger out on this horse?

However, Jing Wan originally didn’t want to ride the horse. A certain someone had frightened her too much. She clearly didn’t do anything, yet faintly felt her legs somewhat going limp. Just like, after seeing certain things, the person involved was fine, but the onlookers were mentally traumatized instead. Actually, this kind of thing was very normal. The more one cared about, the more it was like so.

Just, because of such a move, Jing Wan seemingly felt a bit better.

Li Hong Yuan flipped onto the horseback, lowering his head and reaching his hand out to Jing Wan. That gaze was exceptionally focused and serious, carrying unspeakable tender feelings and passion. Jing Wan in the end didn’t refuse, having her hand placed into his palm, climbing onto the horse, while borrowing his strength, and effortlessly sat before him.

Lightly shaking the reins, the horse just began walking, the pace also just a bit faster than people walking.

This place, just as Li Hong Yuan had said, was much bigger than what Jing Wan had imagined. And the area that expanded out actually was completely for leisure. This practically can become a top-class leisure club that doesn’t have special services. To not use it to make money would practically just be a waste. However, based on a certain someone’s level of wealth, to use it to make money would also be too lacking in standards. But, to just leave it like this, wouldn’t it be even more wasteful? Moreover, even if the two of them were to come from time to time, it would still appear too desolate.

That’s why, a certain someone having this area built, exactly what was it for?

“Wan Wan, didn’t you say you want to make money? Since this place has already been drawn out, then naturally not suitable for us to live here anymore. I indeed don’t lack money, but the state treasury forever won’t disdain having more money.” Li Hong Yuan rather nonchalantly said.

Jing Wan instantly understood. This place, once it really launches, certainly will be very profitable, and also will be very popular. When time comes, the one on the throne will start being paranoid again. However, if it’s just hung under their name, but in reality managed by the Emperor’s people, the income entering the state treasury, then the one on the throne certainly will be quite happy.

After all, there were many wealthy people in the capital, and many young and old masters that have large amounts of money thrown into all kinds of money squandering establishments everyday. And now, ‘plundering’ a portion from them to fill the state treasury, it would be strange for Le Cheng Emperor to not be happy.

And in this way, even if in the future, someone becomes jealous, wanting to cause trouble, without them even needing to do anything, the other party will just get pressed down by Le Cheng Emperor in seconds, so what’s not to like about this? And they just need to extract a very small portion of ‘labor fees’ from within, very reasonable, right? The state treasury won’t disdain having more money, and their own pockets also won’t either.

Just like this, unconsciously and unknowingly, they already walked through quite a few areas. And similarly, unbeknownst to Jing Wan, the horse’s pace had already picked up. Although not galloping at lightning speed, it was still more than enough for certain things to fly up. After running two laps around the horse tracks, that bit of shadow that hadn’t formed yet in Jing Wan’s heart already disappeared without a trace.

“Originally wanted to take you to the rare beast park for a look too, but the time is already late today, so let’s go another day.”

“En.” Jing Wan leaned against, lazily responding.

The rocking on horseback, the warm chest behind one’s back, the gentle voice by one’s ear, and also the light breeze brushing the face, this kind of feeling truly was pleasing to the point of making one want to forever stay in this moment.

Perhaps because of sensing Jing Wan’s mood, Li Hong Yuan unconsciously slowed down the pace, neither quickly nor slowly steering the horse towards the villa. Jing Wan felt pleased, and he similarly felt pretty good. At least, his negative emotions had already disappeared, and his heart once again returned to tranquility.

Sure enough, in this lifetime, he all won’t be able to leave her. However, he has never thought of resisting or leaving before anyways.

Returning to the villa, Li Hong Yuan climbed down from the horse, and shortly after, had Jing Wan carried down.

In the following days, Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan both seemingly had matters to be busy with.

What was Li Hong Yuan busy with? Didn’t Jing Wan want a wedding anniversary, so of course it was just being busy with this. Fortunately, his EQ was ultimately still intact, also knowing that this kind of thing, he can’t completely toss to others to handle. Although because of his status, it was impossible for him to personally handle everything, but just moving his mouth and have everything ordered down, Wan Wan will be angry again, and he himself also wasn’t willing to be like this either.

He could sense that Wan Wan seemingly very much cared about this, and afterwards, Li Hong Yuan also felt that this kind of day was indeed very important. Although he didn’t know what to do, but he can just follow his heart and do some things he wanted to do.

And what was Jing Wan busy with? Li Hong Yuan wasn’t too clear, seemingly messing with clothes, also specially calling over the musicians from the manor, and even specially arranging a place, placing quite a few long mirrors.

Whenever Li Hong Yuan asked her, Jing Wan would always smilingly avoid, “You’ll know when time comes.”

Li Hong Yuan didn’t miss the faint blush on Jing Wan’s face. It can be seen, this matter was worth looking forward to. After lightly smiling, Li Hong Yuan no longer asked about this matter. En, his wife was preparing a surprise.

What Jing Wan wanted to do was indeed a bit embarrassing, but since she’s decided, she’ll of course need to properly prepare.

The third of the third lunar month was the Shangsi festival, also known as girl’s day. Of course, the ones that will participate in this festival certainly won’t just be those young ladies. Last year, because of Jin Qinwang’s wedding, those well known young ladies and young masters, as well as scholars and artists of the entire capital, naturally all weren’t able to carry out any activities. As for what they will do this year, it naturally had nothing to do with Jing Wan and them.

Getting up in the morning, Jing Wan was just entirely in a slightly excited state. It was obvious, towards today, she very much looked forward to.

Don’t look at how Li Hong Yuan, speaking from his actual age, was actually already an old man. Towards this kind of thing, he was actually still somewhat nervous, worrying that he won’t be able to please his wife. However, seeing Jing Wan like this, he suddenly calmed down again.

Because, regardless of the outcome, Wan Wan will all be happy inside. Just like him, even if just quietly staying together with Wan Wan, not needing to do anything, he would all feel very happy inside.
