Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife

Plan, Profiting (2)

Towards these shadow guards under a certain someone for the most part all having a deadpan face, Jing Wan was also quite helpless.

“Enough of these trivial talk, you just need to give your all, for now, and also for………the future.”

Towards Jin Qinwang’s ‘ambitions’, they these subordinates for the most part all had a bit of understanding. As such, Gong Jiu understood Jing Wan’s implications. “Yes.”

They separately began to move. Because seeing everyone all busy, even Jing Wan wanted to push up her sleeves and personally step in. In that moment, the noble lifestyle fostered in the past seemingly just disappeared without a trace. However, it was very obvious, before even taking action, she just got thoroughly stopped.

Don’t joke, letting a wangfei go do those things, they all can take their own life to atone for the offense. Moreover, even if they were wounded, even if letting them go die, it was still impossible to let a wangfei help take care of them. These people also didn’t have the guts to let Jing Wan do it.

However, after getting stopped, Jing Wan also realized, if she really were to personally step in, once a certain someone returns, he will probably be able to have the person chopped up.

Alright, for a moment, she forgot, the etiquette between man and woman. Moreover, she was noble, and the injured were lowly.

After finding a stool, Jing Wan sat down, appearing to be in a daze, but in reality, should be lost in thought.

“Um, your Highness………..”

Getting her thoughts interrupted, Jing Wan returned to her sense, looking towards the young ladies, “You’re still here? What’s the matter?”

They wanted to say, exactly how thoroughly did they get ignored. Clearly a bunch of living humans, their existence shouldn’t be this low, right? However, after being speechless for a moment, they worked themselves up again, “Wangfei, we also want to help. The matter of recruiting doctors, can it be given to us to handle?”

Perhaps having slightly adapted a little, although still somewhat unable to bear the smell here, it wasn’t as unbearable as in the beginning.

Speaking of which, these young ladies, in a certain sense, were just the ‘local bosses’ of this prefectural city, like a crab, able to walk sideways through the city. If one were to let them go handle, it indeed would save quite a bit of energy. Moreover, if they participate in this matter, then these things further won’t be able to easily get passed on to the capital.

“Go back and discuss with your family first, and then decide.”

As for whether or not it might have the matter of her organizing these things exposed? Heh, she can say, between the northwest and the capital, all the channels of communications were already controlled in her husband’s hand. If someone wants to have ‘secret dealings’ with the capital, then in a certain sense, that was practically just looking for death without a doubt. However, towards the old doctor and them voluntarily helping her keep this matter a secret, Jing Wan was still touched. Because some things can’t be stated clearly, she can only let them go do, having their good intentions recorded in her heart. However, for that old doctor, he’d followed the northeast army for many years after all. His knowledge and experience, sure enough, were out of the ordinary.

The young girls mutually looked to one another. Seemingly wanting to take over this matter, just them alone, indeed was impossible. They will definitely need their family’s help.

Youngsters always have that bit of impulsive enthusiasm, immediately taking action. Thus, they respectively bid farewell to Jing Wan. Something that even an esteemed wangfei can do, they naturally can also do. Previously, didn’t they always want to put in their humble effort for the war? In fact, some girl even shouted about going onto the battlefield, but it naturally won’t be allowed. Right now, because of someone leading, they finally found the right direction, so naturally were full of spirit.

TN: All

After sending off the young girls, Jing Wan let someone prepare the brush and ink, beginning to write and draw. After all, many things were all just a tiny outline, and because there were too many, one might think of one thing and forget another. As such, it was better to write it down one by one, then slowly polish, or perhaps give to someone else, let them see whether or not it was feasible. If feasible, then can add more and refine. And if not feasible, Jing Wan also won’t insist either.

Time just that quickly passed, all the way until two hours later, “Wangfei, this place ultimately isn’t too good. If we stay too long, this servant worries that it will affect your health. How about returning first? Many things, going back to slowly ponder over, it’s also the same.”

Jing Wan thought for a moment and finally nodded. If something really were to happen to her, the people serving by her side will all suffer consequences, “Alright.”

Jing Wan let someone inform the old doctor, and then got up to leave.

Once her mind was concentrated on this matter, everything in the surrounding all can be forgotten.

When Li Hong Yuan came back, he just saw Jing Wan practically have herself buried in a pile of papers, while she herself was still there writing at lightening speed.

After Li Hong Yuan returned, he already heard from the people below everything Jing Wan did and said. That’s why, he’d long predicted that she would be ‘restless’.

But, who was Li Hong Yuan? He naturally was also able to make out the benefits these things can bring about. In his past life, after he redressed Fu Yun Ting’s case, Jing Wan’s deeds all got uncovered too. Just, among those, why did these things not exist? Li Hong Yuan slightly pondered and very quickly understood the key within.

Li Hong Yuan had the papers scattered on the ground picked up one by one, shaking in hand and then looking over. Looking at it overall, it appeared very messy, some things just a concept, very rough, while some had gone through refinement. However, Li Hong Yuan was able to easily have the not suitable things picked out. It can be seen that these things actually weren’t her specialty. Quite a few things were all just a blurry idea, and towards Qi Yuan’s actual circumstances, she didn’t understand very well either. As such, it might be a bit disorderly. However, with this many things, one can also tell, Jing Wan had put in a lot of work in this.

Of course, Li Hong Yuan also discovered something else. Don’t know whether it was because she was writing too quickly or what, but seemingly there were quite a few wrongly written characters. However, after slightly pondering, if it really was like this, the frequency shouldn’t be this high. That’s why, this was probably the writing of Wan Wan’s past life?!

(T/N: Jing Wan most likely started writing in simplified chinese, whereas the writing back then was closer to traditional chinese. Below is a simple example of how the writing system has changed over time.)

And because of this, Li Hong Yuan became increasingly curious of Jing Wan’s past. However, it was also just curious. He had no fate seeing.

Jing Wan put down the brush, flinging her wrist and massaging her neck. Lifting her head, she saw Li Hong Yuan, her face subconsciously revealing a smile, “Ah Yuan, you’re back? How long have you been back, how come you didn’t call me?”

Li Hong Yuan had the papers in hand placed on the table, turning behind Jing Wan, and reaching out to gently massage her neck, “Seeing you that serious, couldn’t bear to disturb. Just, why have yourself pressured this tightly? Nothing is done in one step. It’s more or less enough, also need to rest, otherwise, some things, you won’t need to do anymore.”

Jing Wan leaned her head towards Li Hong Yuan, “That was just accidentally getting too immersed. And it’s only in the beginning, because many things still unclear, that’s why appear a bit messy. Once everything gets straightened out, then there will be nothing left for me to do.”

“Naturally so. If after straightening out, still need for you, a qin-wangfei, to personally handle, then reckon there’s no one left in Qi Yuan, and more or less have come to an end.”

“Hey, don’t say it like that, this is your Li imperial clan’s mountains and rivers.”

Li Hong Yuan was unconcerned, “There is no everlasting dynasty. Prospering and declining, rising and falling, ‘that which have long divided will unify, and that which have long unified will divide’^[1]. What is there to care about?”

“The reasoning is like this, but Qi Yuan right now still hasn’t reached the time to divide, and moreover, in the future, it will also have my share. That’s why, you’re not allowed to say nonsense.”

Li Hong Yuan’s finger stroked across Jing Wan’s cheek, lightly smiling, “Still haven’t reached the mouth, yet Wan Wan already learned to guard one’s food?”

“Should I not?”

“You should, but there’s one thing Wan Wan is wrong about. What you will possess won’t just be a portion, but the entirety.”

Jing Wan smiled. Towards this bit, she didn’t deny this man’s words. What was his was hers. This had nothing to do with her own aspirations.

Jing Wan reached out to pull him, “Come, help me look over. Help me pick out the areas that are not suitable.”

“No hurry, it’s already the evening meal. Can slowly look over after using the evening meal.”

“It’s already this late? Time sure passed quickly. How’s the situation on your side? What’s the circumstance specifically?”

“Settle down a little, eat first.” His wife was too hardworking. If things aren’t finish, she just won’t settle down.

Alright, perhaps because of fully using up her brain power, Jing Wan also felt quite hungry.

Once the stomach was half full, she just slowed down. Not speaking when eating and whatnot, it didn’t exist between this couple.

“…………That ceremonial altar’s fengshui had problems. The treasured location is still a treasured location, but it’s nevertheless a ‘yin residence^[2]‘. Don’t know whether a problem had occurred when looking at the fengshui at the time, or someone had played dirty tricks in this matter. Going over today, the monk that was presiding over the ritual heard my purpose in coming, and under great shock, re-examined the place countless times before finally confirming the actual reason. It can be seen, that place was hidden very deeply. A yin residence can easily gather yin energy. Reasonably speaking, for a spirit, using yin energy to nourish is better, but the Imperial Noble Consort’s situation is different. The ceremonial altar is used for praying for blessings after all. With the war in the northwest, having casualties everywhere, countless yin energy have gathered at the ceremonial altar, all directly going for the Imperial Noble Consort. Judging by the situation, before we left the capital, when you’d gone to see Shu Consort, the main influence still didn’t come from this place yet. If it’s just discovering the problem now, the Shu Consort you saw probably won’t just be sinister looking, but rather no different from a dead person.”

Jing Wan’s face slightly changed, “Then Shu Consort and the Imperial Noble Consort right now…………..”

“It’s fine. There’s Grandmaster Liao Chen suppressing.”

“Then, how should the current situation be dealt with? Having gone for a whole day, did you resolve it?”

“The ceremonial ritual has already started, so it’s impossible to have the altar torn down and rebuilt. That’s why, the only way is to just change the fengshui layout. There’s nothing for us to do.”

“That’s good. Then, what about the situation in the south? How should that be resolved?”

“That, Wan Wan doesn’t need to worry about. It will very quickly be resolved.” The situation in the south, he actually for the most part had an idea inside.

Since that’s the case, Jing Wan just relaxed, having this problem tossed aside, no longer asking, and began talking about the things she previously prepared.

Li Hong Yuan was a bit helpless. However, with his wife being this diligent, in the future, won’t he be able to be lazy? Thinking of this, it seemingly was also not bad.

Jing Wan still didn’t know that she was already getting eyed by her shameless husband as free labor, still endlessly explaining some of her plans. Because it was too disperse, it seemingly was no longer limited to just the current situation. Unknowingly, some thoughts already flew over the horizon.

Li Hong Yuan quietly listened, occasionally opening his mouth to pull back Jing Wan’s stray thoughts, slightly pausing her a little. Regardless of what Jing Wan says, the things that he can understand, he would just directly help point out the pros and cons, and the possibility of implementing. The things that he didn’t understand, he would just slightly ask the details, and afterwards, give her his opinion.

After a few times, and after Jing Wan slowly reflected over, her gaze towards Li Hong Yuan was all a bit peculiar. Just now, it seemingly was a bit too much, seemingly saying quite a few phrases from her past life, but this man seemingly didn’t have any trouble in comprehending. Not only so, regardless of what she said, he seemingly was all able to give out effective suggestions. Even if just a concept, he’s all able to, according to his own understanding, just expand on it countless times more thoroughly than her in seconds. He was practically just too versatile

Even if as an emperor, didn’t one just need to control the overall situation? With you being this impressive, how can those court officials still deceive you? How can they still be lazy? It’ll practically make those people be too ashamed to show their face.

“What?”

“Nothing, just feel, really impressive.” Such an excellent quality perfect man, she seemingly profited.
