Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 302.1: The Heart A Step Closer, Taking Action

Jing Wan reached out and covered her eyes, concealing all her emotions. A moment later, she put down her hand, completely cold, “Why don’t everyone go back first. As for the people, since they’ve entered this villa, then they have nothing to do with the various families anymore.” Clearly, this was helping them absolve the situation. One has to know, under this kind of situation, it wasn’t looking for the ‘murderer’s’ trouble. There was only the ‘murderer’ taking his anger out on and looking into other people’s responsibility. If he really were to insist on getting to the bottom of this, then it was obvious, whichever family those two servant girls originally belonged to will be the family shouldering the blame. Jing Wan’s one line, ‘the people of the villa have nothing to do with them’, naturally also just clearly drew the line between them.

The delight and anticipation froze on the various madams’ face, and also because of the sudden shock, it caused the entire face to appear very distorted. Clearly their body had already given out such a direct reaction, yet their train of thought seemingly still haven’t returned. All the way until Jing Wan spoke did each and every one finally respond with, ‘en? oh!’

In reality what was said, probably even they themselves don’t know.

Jing Wan was also too lazy to bother with them anymore. She already can be considered extremely benevolent, “Mu An, see out the guests.” She stormed off in a huff. The link to the origin of this information rests in Fɪre.net

This place, she was still far from being familiar with. Jing Wan randomly called over a person to lead the way. The little servant girl, towards the ‘task’ that landed on her, was very excited, walking before Jing Wan, even somewhat at a loss for what to do. However, she very quickly muttered inside, a dignified wangfei, how come would wear this kind of coarse cotton clothing that even they, these people, would all disdain beneath contempt? Although she thought about it, she didn’t dare to reveal slightest abnormality. Perhaps for the sake of showing off herself as much as possible, the little servant girl used an innocent and pure way of speaking to introduce the villa. Clearly, she was still unaware of what had happened in the rear court.

If switch with ordinary circumstances, Jing Wan perhaps would still be in the mood to listen, but right now, she just felt annoyed, her brows unconsciously furrowing.

Qing Zhu had the little servant girl pulled aside, “Alright, just to here then. Here’s some pieces of silver, take it and go buy some sweets to eat.”

The little servant girl although was somewhat unwilling, but with reward money, she naturally just happily accepted, afterwards reluctantly leaving, hoping that Jing Wan can keep her.

Although bathing, it wasn’t in the cleaning room behind the bedroom, but rather separately opened up a little hot spring behind the main courtyard.

(T/N: It made me laugh a little inside that the archaic chinese word for hot spring is ‘soup pond’.)

There weren’t doors, just layers upon layers of overlapping muslin curtains. One could faintly hear the sound of water. It was obvious, Li Hong Yuan was still inside.

Jing Wan saw the bodies on the ground that were already wrapped in woven mat, just faintly able to see a pair of feet with no shoes on, no longer having any luck. This time, Li Hong Yuan really unhesitantly killed the person. With the time from beginning to end being that short, it wasn’t hard to guess that he didn’t carry the slightest hesitation.

“Buy two light coffins and have them buried.” Jing Wan retracted her gaze. Facing dead dead people, Jing Wan’s heart was already able to be like still water? No, just the person was already dead, so what else can be done?

Two bodyguards went forward, swiftly lifting the corpses and quickly leaving, appearing quite skilled in their job.

Jing Wan looked towards the little hot spring again. Even if once witnessing Li Hong Yuan kill before, that was still under special circumstances. This time, it seems Jing Wan finally vividly sensed what was called ‘maliciously ruthless, indefinitely moody’, two fresh human lives, killed just like that. She said to him, if not necessary, then don’t rashly create killing sins. He said okay. And these two people, did they need to die? In this moment, Jing Wan’s heart was actually a bit uncertain.

Originally, these two corpses can completely be taken care of before she arrived, and he also can completely let everyone hide the news, but he didn’t. That’s why, was it deliberately left for her to see? Jing Wan stood in the same spot, staring into an unknown place, somewhat lost in thought.

Gong mama and the others stood to one side, feeling worried inside, but also could only worry helplessly. At this time, they can’t say anything, and further can’t do anything.

Afterwards, Jing Wan finally returned to her senses, “Mama, have this matter spread down, and must let every single person in this villa all know. Also, no need to issue a sealing order towards them.”

“Yes.” This way of handling things wasn’t just for the sake of putting an end to certain people’s thoughts, but also to avoid throwing in their lives……….

In the end, Jing Wan still pushed aside the layers upon layers of muslin curtains, all the way until the last layer, just happening to meet with Li Hong Yuan’s eyes. In that instant, seemingly everything between heaven and earth all stopped.

After returning to her senses, Jing Wan even thought, that saying, ‘a glimpse ten thousand years’, probably was just this. Regardless of whether or not the other party did something that made you displeased, all can be forgiven, and all can be pardoned. You have him in your heart, having him from beginning to end, just this, that’s all. She probably also fell into this man’s hands. Everything else aside, once one’s three views are all able to change for the sake of the other party, the bottom line also able to repeatedly adjust, then what else is there to say? Perhaps still need to wear in, but many things can already be certain.

Li Hong Yuan’s two hands propped up backwards on the edge of the hot spring, quietly looking to Jing Wan, similarly not saying anything. In his eyes, there weren’t even the tenderness and infatuation when gazing upon Jing Wan in the past, the waters unmoved by the breeze, not having the slightest emotion. Did that also represent his heart? No, not at all. He was waiting, and for the first time learning that waiting was actually a kind of torture.

“Those two people, did they need to be killed?” Jing Wan finally opened her mouth and asked.

“No.” Li Hong Yuan replied without the slightest hesitation, his head slightly tilting, seemingly staring at Jing Wan even more conscientiously. He didn’t say any excess words, didn’t explain, and also didn’t because of breaking his promise, express the slightest guilt, like as if certain that Jing Wan won’t get angry, but also like as if simply not caring.

Jing Wan was actually a bit helpless inside. Aren’t you the one that did something wrong? This bold and self-confident look, who is it for? Would it kill you to submit? Being a tsundere at this time perhaps one really will ‘die’. Jing Wan went forward, just stepping into the waters with her clothes on, slowly swimming to Li Hong Yuan’s side.

Li Hong Yuan had her taken into his embrace, sincerely smiling. It was clear, Jing Wan’s action truly pleased him. He couldn’t help but nuzzle against Jing Wan’s forehead. The him in this moment was just like a small child that obtained something beloved that he’d been hopelessly longing for, for a long time, just leaving behind the purest joy.

The drenched clothes sticking to the body wasn’t all that comfortable, but Jing Wan also didn’t bother to care, her chin resting on Li Hong Yuan’s shoulder. All the negative emotions in her heart all dispersed, somewhat lazily narrowing her eyes, her hands not carrying lust as she lightly caressed his body, “If I’d gotten angry, and just left, what will you do?”

“Why don’t Wan Wan take a guess?” Li Hong Yuan somewhat meaningfully said.

Hearing his tone, she just knew, it definitely wasn’t anything good. “Not guessing, no, nine times out of ten, it won’t be something I like.”

“That’s why, Wan Wan should feeling a sense of brilliance for your own choice.” Li Hong Yuan kissed her forehead again.

It wasn’t because of choosing wisely, nor was it because of deliberately avoiding possible dangers. It was just because of this man. Even if he didn’t show anything at all, she kept feeling, if she were to leave, he would be deeply hurt, the kind heart-wrenching pain that won’t be shown. And how could she bear this.
