Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 175.2: Malicious Scheme

“It’s still my adopted daughter that’s best. Of course, if she can also be a little more wanton and willful, it’ll be even better.” The Grand Elder Princess lightly sighed.

“You really like that girl that much?” Le Cheng Emperor really was a bit surprised.

“Yes, but that sixth son of yours, I dislike very much. That bastard, no matter how one looks at it, isn’t worthy of my adopted daughter at all.”

Le Cheng Emperor was a bit embarrassed, “This marriage although was decreed by this emperor, the Luo family were the ones that asked for it originally.”

“To have come this far, that is still forced by you all. Don’t think that there isn’t your share of responsibility in this either, imperial brother. If I have to say, in this matter, you ‘claim the biggest credit’. As long as there are other paths, all won’t take this one.”

Towards the Grand Elder Princess’s words, Le Cheng Emperor won’t deny either. He can’t just watch any one son of his grow big in power, letting the imperial court lose its balance. He wanted to let Luo Pei Shan go headache over this himself, but Luo Pei Shan’s final decision still went beyond his expectation. Although there wasn’t a better candidate than that bastard son of his as a ‘human shield’, but ultimately, his reputation was too terrible. If not for truly having come to a dead end, no one would chose this road.

However, the final result, he was still very satisfied with. “Grandmaster Liao Chen even declared that the two of them were a match made in heaven, a good marriage fate difficult to encounter in a thousand years.”

The Grand Elder Princess lightly snorted. It was precisely because of this that she didn’t say anything more, else she definitely would’ve given that bastard a bit of a lesson. However, even so, the Grand Elder Princess still felt that she needed to find some time to ‘teach him a lesson’, and at the very least, let him restrain himself a little and stop being that shameful. Otherwise, no matter how good of a marriage fate, problems will still arise.

Because the matter was related to Li Hong Yuan, the Luo family naturally also learned of the details. Of course, as for what exactly happened to Ruan Fang Fei, aside from the people involved, it was also just the person behind the scenes that knew.

Sun Yi Jia smilingly looked to Jing Wan, and moreover, even continued for quite some time. Jing Wan felt she was practically a nutjob, that smile simply making one shiver. Without a better option, “What exactly is elder sister-in-law smiling about?”

“What did I say before, Jin Qinwang will curse those aside from you……..” As she said this, she giddily began laughing.

Jing Wan was speechless, someone come tell her, why her elder sister-in-law’s condition, after getting pregnant, was different from others? Third brother, quickly have your wife dragged back. Afterwards, Luo Jing Bo in a very unmanly manner expressed, right now his wife was the biggest in power. Sun Yi Jia smiled ever more cheerfully. She expressed, to have brought about such an outcome, Jing Wan, this little sister-in-law, claimed the most credit. That’s why, after all this time, her elder sister-in-law has now ‘climb’ on top of her head in ‘tyranny’. This was completely just her picking up a rock and smashing her own foot?

In contrast to Sun Yi Jia’s amusement, and Jing Wan’s indifference, Sir Luo and Luo Old Madam actually carried a ‘seemingly having long expected this’ kind of calmness. It can’t be helped. After all, Jin Qinwang had once said that he would have all the irrelevant people disposed of, so this was something that will happen sooner or later. As for whether or not the things that happened on Ruan Fang Fei during this trip were of Jin Qinwang’s handiwork, it all didn’t matter. Since she was able to use that kind of sinister and malicious method to scheme against their granddaughter, then what she was suffering right now was nothing more than ‘using her own methods against her in payback’. She simply wasn’t worthy of pity and sympathy.

Ruan Rui Zhong’s body has already suffered damage, Ruan Old Madam was very clear. Originally, in one’s elderly years, having some small ailments was actually very normal, and even if one was plagued by heavy illness, it also couldn’t be helped. But, she knew, she needed to rely on Ruan Rui Zhong, this big tree. Prior to achieving her goal, he cannot collapse. As a result, on the issue of his health, the effort she’s put in was actually even more than in raising Ruan Fang Fei. Of course, she also wasn’t the kind to do a good deed and not leave a name. For Ruan Rui Zhong to be this heavily fond of her, this bit occupied a major role. “My lord, why don’t you go rest? Our daughter, this wife will look after.”

Ruan Rui Zhong shook his head. This while, how was he able to fall asleep.

“My lord, the two of us right now only have you to rely on, if you………how will we be able to live?” As she said this, she uncontrollably began sobbing in a soft voice.

The tears that made people heartache the most forever won’t be loud wails.

Ruan Rui Zhong blanked, unconsciously tightening his fist. Right now, he was still the Head Cabinet Minister, yet his wife and daughter were already getting degraded by others like so. If he were to collapse, would there still be a way for them to survive? “Then will be troubling madam.”

Ruan Old Madam forcibly smiled, “Not troubling at all, you and Fang Fei are the ones this wife cares about the most. For you two, regardless of what, it’s all what one should do. Even if one risks one’s life for you two, this wife is all willing.” Truly heartfelt and genuine.

Ruan Rui Zhong was extremely moved, “Madam, don’t worry, as long as this husband is still here, definitely won’t let you two………” He stopped with a grunt, the words afterwards stuck in his throat, unable to spit out. The greatest harm has already been brought about. To then say something like ‘definitely won’t let them suffer humiliation’, wasn’t that just hitting one’s own mouth?

“This wife understands my lord’s meaning, this wife believes my lord.” That look in her eyes was still filled with unwavering trust and reverence.

Actually, one can’t blame Ruan Rui Zhong for becoming muddled over this woman. In these twenty years, that gaze was just like the way it was in the very beginning. Any man, afraid, would all be filled to the brim with self-confidence. Although when he left, he didn’t say anything else, but from his expression, one was able to know his attitude. That was the resolution and conviction of someone ready to fight for the people most important to them.

In other words, Li Hong Ming and Noble Consort Su both overlooked this bit. There’s a saying called, ‘as a mother, thus strong’, then why can’t there be ‘as a father, thus strong; as a husband, thus strong’? Because he cared too much, and for the sake of holding up a piece of the sky for them, he had no choice but to be strong————probably, in their perception, this kind of man just didn’t exist.

After Ruan Rui Zhong left and walked far, Ruan Old Madam’s expression also diluted, wiping away the yet to dry tears in the corner of her eyes, “Speak, who had your miss taken out?” One can’t blame her for thinking this. Because of the previous matter, she had deliberately arranged people by Ruan Fang Fei’s side again, and can be said to have Ruan Fang Fei protected airtight. Even if someone were to act out in the dark, it was still impossible to have all the people all taken down one by one and not be discovered. The only possibility was that it was someone she was familiar with, someone they all were familiar with and trusted, and Fang Fei willingly followed them.

“Master, it was the biao^[1] young master.” Ruan Fang Fei’s wet nurse deferentially spoke.

“Impossible.” Ruan Old Madam subconsciously refuted, her voice even carrying a bit of sharpness. Immediately after, she realize she lost her bearing, calming down again, “Ping boy can also be considered someone I’ve watched grow up. He has always had Fang Fei cupped in the palm and pampered, are you all certain it’s him?” If it was really ‘him’ appearing and enticing Fang Fei to leave, then she really can’t blame them for not being competent in protecting her.

The wet nurse knew her meaning, and couldn’t help but furrow her brows, “Master, this servant didn’t notice anything out of place, believe it’s the same for the others.”
