Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 516.4: Confrontation, Vision, Exposing

However, Jing Wan figured, in the future, when sitting onto that position, perhaps she can directly have ‘prohibit direct blood relatives and side branches within three relations from marrying’ integrated into the law. Just don’t know how much obstructions there will. After all, under the present societal backdrop, it wasn’t just strengthening existing family ties that was prevalent, but more importantly, marriage was a natural alliance. Marrying between relatives was just strengthening this kind of alliance. However, once it involved children, there probably won’t be much resistance. After all, the people at present further valued heirs.

However, for Jing Wan, unless it was distant to the point where it couldn’t be more distant, the kind that was completely blurry, just having a tiny bit of blood relations, otherwise Jing Wan would all somewhat reject inside, just like Chen Zheng Min back then. Properly counting, the two of them weren’t really collateral relatives within three relations. Even if according to the marriage laws of her past life, they can still marry, but when first mentioned, her first reaction was just ‘cousins marrying isn’t good’, this kind of thought.

Alright, in the end, she still agreed, but it also got messed up by a certain someone.

After learning everything, Jing Wan actually felt a bit guilty towards Chen Zheng Min. Never mind getting schemed against by her husband, he even married that kind of wife. Jing Wan rather wanted to ask a certain someone, how come he can’t just find a better wife for Chen Zheng Min, but thinking it over, it was better to forget it. If she really were to ask, Chen Zheng Min will surely suffer a calamity.

She was getting a bit off track, best to quickly stop. People in a certain someone’s minefield, it was best to not pay attention to.

Jing Wan ultimately needed to find out about the others’ situation as well. When asking about Yuan Qiao Qiao, she learned that right now, Yuan Qiao Qiao was finally pregnant. Just, along with this news was another shocking matter. When Yuan Qiao Qiao was back at her maiden home, she had gotten diagnosed together with her mother one after another.

Jing Wan blinked, appearing a bit dumbstruck. That paternal aunt of hers had just been pregnant with Yuan Qiao Qiao alone. Never mind a son, she never even had a miscarriage before. And now, more than ten years later, she actually got pregnant together with her own daughter, how can that not be shocking? However, at this paternal aunt’s age, in this present society, that was just an old oyster producing a pearl. Perhaps some would talk behind her back, saying she was old but shameless, but most would still admire. It was a happy matter after all.

“Saying it like this, looks like will need to add to the gifts prepared for paternal aunt.”

Just, in the end, it was already past the optimal age for childbirth, considered high age pregnancy, especially when at present, the medical field isn’t developed. That’s why, when giving birth, there exist very big risks.

Jing Wan’s gaze flickered. Gong Jiu right now, towards surgery for ordinary injuries, was already very adept. Furthermore, the success rate was also very high. Then, was it possible to do c-section surgery?

“What is little sister Wan thinking about, to be this lost in thought?” Sun Yi Jia waved her hand before Jing Wan.

Jing Wan returned to her senses, shaking her head, expressing it was nothing.

TN: All

However, letting Gong Jiu do c-section surgery, sure enough, was a bit too optimistic. The people at present emphasized on a woman’s reputation. When giving birth, how could they let an outside male be present, even slicing open the stomach. Afraid, they would rather let the woman giving birth die than make this kind of decision. And the so called them, naturally included the pregnant woman’s husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law, everyone from their in-law family from top to bottom, even including the pregnant woman herself. This was just the reality.

And even if specially training female physicians in this area, there’s similarly still many problems to face. The most crucial point was just the medication. That’s why, many things all can’t be taken for granted. However, for some things, someone ultimately needs to take the first step.

At present, she has given Gong Jiu another new assignment, because she discovered that when Gong Jiu was doing surgery in the northwest, he was actually using acupuncture needles as an anesthesia for the injured, but this skill wasn’t something everyone would have. As such, she let Gong Jiu try to see if he can make medication similar to mafei powder^[1]. Jing Wan has never studied medicine before, so she doesn’t know what the main components of mafei powder were. But, based on Gong Jiu’s familiarity towards various kinds of medicine, it wasn’t necessarily impossible to make that kind of thing.

“Little sister Wan, what’s wrong with you? How come you’re lost in thought again? What is it that made you this absentminded?”

Jing Wan apologetically smiled at Sun Yi Jia. The times she has gotten distracted today seemingly were a bit frequent.

Jing Wan finally restrained her running train of thought, tossing aside those somewhat heavy problems.

Jing Wan stayed at the Luo Manor until after the evening meal. Afterwards, she returned to Jin Qinwang Manor together with Li Hong Yuan.

“Ah Yuan, what did grandfather say to you, for you to still be thinking about it?”

“Just some matters of the court, contemplating about the next step of the plan.” Li Hong Yuan caressed Jing Wan’s fingers, “Speaking of which, judging from your grandfather’s words, this time, your three elder brothers will all participate in the metropolitan exam?”

“En, in reality, it has already been delayed for three years.”

“Participating now is more or less the same. The three of them were all taught by your grandfather, so presumably he is confident in the outcome, thus letting them take the exam. The Luo family suddenly having three more successful candidates of the imperial exam, surely the boat will rise with the tides.”

“Indeed, this kind of thing, not many families can achieve.” Towards this bit, Jing Wan was also exceptionally proud.

Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled, “Never mind three, even if it’s thirty more, this husband can still protect the Luo family from worries.”

“Thirty? In the entire country, from top to bottom, over tens of thousands of people, every three years, there can only be three hundred successful candidates. For a single family to be able to have three at the same time, it’s already very impressive, alright. If thirty really were to appear at once, only you would be open-minded about it.” Jing Wan was exceptionally helpless.

Li Hong Yuan pinched Jing Wan’s chin, leaning in and lowering his voice, saying with a smile, “The in-law family growing in power, this kind of thing, this husband isn’t worried about. How about just letting Wan Wan become the female emperor. That way, there won’t be any worries at all.”

Jing Wan met with his eyes, “And you become my imperial husband?”

Li Hong Yuan nodded, “En, this way, you never have to worry about me having a second woman.”

Jing Wan lightly clicked her tongue, seemingly becoming speechless. A good while later, “Since the beginning, I’ve never worried about this before. Also, I don’t have that big of an ambition. That position, not anyone can sit in.”

Never worried before? Li Hong Yuan smiled without a word.

In the next few days, it was just going on as usual. At least, Jing Wan’s days appeared to have not changed at all.

The decree for bestowing the rewards came down. Regarding Su Bu Fu, it sure enough was just as Fu Yun Ting excepted, frozen in place. As for Fu Yun Ting himself, he was still the Wu’an Marquis Manor heir. In a certain sense, there was nothing to confer for him. Thus, his mother got conferred a title, even giving his young son a sixth rank empty title. Follow current s on ɴovel(F)ɪre

In the Xishan Barracks, Su Bu Fu was completely solitary. No matter where he went, he was always alone. Such obvious shunning, based on his IQ, how could he not know the reason. However, right now, he didn’t have time to worry about this. He was fretful and uneasy at all times, and because he didn’t go see Rui Qinwang and his family, they sent people to look for him. However, Su Bu Fu was worried that there was Jin Qinwang’s people by his side, so naturally directly refused to meet.

Speaking of which, Rui Qinwang and them weren’t stupid either. From Su Bu Fu’s attitude, they could make out some abnormality, so naturally no longer sent people to look for him. However, in this way, mutually unable to communicate, they appeared very bounded by the hands.

Su Bu Fu ultimately couldn’t sit still anymore. That kind of torment truly was too unbearable. Everything else aside, he at least needed to give Rui Qinwang a warning, letting him guard against Jin Qinwang. Else, when time comes, one won’t even know how one died. Moreover, the Su family shared honor and disgrace with Rui Qinwang. If Rui Qinwang falls, the Su family absolutely won’t survive either.

The capital was also a place he was familiar with. If a little careful, avoiding people, it shouldn’t be considered difficult. Beside, everything perhaps was just him scaring himself————–He consoled himself in this way.

Just, right when Su Bu Fu was preparing to look for an opportunity, someone else instead came looking. It was He Shi Hai that openly came to the Xishan Barracks. He Shi Hai had Su Bu Fu measured from head to toe, sneering, “Abandoning the brush and enlisting in the military, it’s not something anyone can achieve. Your starting point wasn’t correct to begin with. No matter what, you should’ve taken the path of a bookworm, but as a bookworm, you’re unable to climb up fast, so it must be tough for you.”

“This humble soldier doesn’t understand what General He is saying.” Su Bu Fu did his best to maintain his composure on the surface.

“Fine, this young master isn’t interested in going in circles with you all. I already know that you’re that Su Ming Zhang that should’ve been exiled. Wangye let me tell you……………..”

[1] 麻沸散 – Mafei Powder was an anesthesia invented for surgery in ancient china, invented by Hua Tuo (c. 140-208), a genius physician from the Eastern Han period. It was the earliest form of anesthesia in ancient china. In the 2nd century AD, it was already being used for surgery for opening the abdomen. At present, the recipe for mafei powder has already been lost.
