Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 386.1: Matters One After Another

Everyone all knew, the so called picking up was just an excuse. His goal was nothing more than wanting to enter the manor. As a result, Jing Wan pushed along the waves.

Rui Qinwang wanted to pick up the people, so then just let you purely pick them up, not carrying any ulterior motives and purely be a ‘good man’ for once. ———-This was what Jing Wan smilingly said to Rui Wangfei.

Rui Wangfei looked to Jing Wan. Knowing what her personality was like, for her to do this kind of thing seemingly wasn’t strange. Just, that ‘good man’ afraid will go crazy from anger again.

And Li Hong Ming who was outside the gate originally was already prepared, yet in the end, he watched his wife and children get sent out just like that. And the person sending them out wasn’t the masters of this manor, but merely a mama. Follow current s on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Jin Qinwang Manor did however quickly send out another horse carriage, having the plants and flowers for the two little junzhus loaded onto it, but aside from the carriage driver sitting upon it with a solemn look, there wasn’t anyone else.

Gong mama who was in charge of sending them out swiftly curtsied, and afterwards turned around, slowly entering Jin Qinwang Manor. After that, Jin Qinwang Manor’s main gate, aside from the guards guarding the entrance, not a single soul was in sight. Afterwards, a strange cold breeze blew past. This seemingly just perfectly reflected Li Hong Ming’s mood.

The two children were very happy, towards Jin Qinwang Manor still feeling a bit reluctant to part, repeatedly turning back.

Rui Wangfei didn’t go look at Li Hong Ming’s expression at this time, just having the children quickly sent onto the horse carriage that they previously came in, so as to avoid seeing their father getting angered by their happy expression. She let the wet nurse and servant girls follow after to serve.

As for her, she naturally needed to face Li Hong Ming. In any case, this kind of thing, she was already used to. As long as it doesn’t scare the children, she was rather indifferent. In any case, no matter how different Li Hong Ming was on the inside than on the outside, in the end, he has never hit her before.

Li Hong Ming this time didn’t hesitate in the slightest, directly getting on the horse carriage, because he was afraid that he won’t be able to control himself and explode on the spot.

Rui Wangfei followed after, quietly sitting down to the side. When riding together with Li Hong Ming, in any case, she has never sat by Li Hong Ming’s side before. Never mind intimately sticking together with her own husband in the horse carriage, if she were to know how Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan interacted, she would once again be very astonished.

Without a comparison, there was no harm. If other women were to know how Li Hong Yuan treated Jing Wan, then it probably won’t just be admiring, but rather resenting out of jealousy.

The former lustful playboy actually changed his ways, ‘three thousand li of flowing water, just drawing one ladle^[1]‘. If they’d long known, then they completely wouldn’t have cared about those terrible reputations of his, thinking of every possible way to marry him. However, there wasn’t ‘knowing beforehand’, and moreover, they further won’t know that Li Hong Yuan just drank Luo Jing Wan, this one ladle of water.

Rui Qinwang sat upright with his eyes closed. He was currently pacifying his anger.

Rui Wangfei was aware, just thinking to herself, what use was there pacifying? Later, when he listens to her explain the specifics, he will still explode. He wasn’t someone with much tolerance to begin with, so why the need to put out this kind of attitude?

But, recalling our Rui Qinwang’s usual image to the outside, she mockingly laughed in her heart.

“Explain.” Probably half an incense stick later, Li Hong Ming finally opened his eyes. Just, a violent storm was suppressed in his eyes, as if he was about to devour someone.

When Jing Wan spoke with Rui Wangfei, it was just those few words anyways, so Rui Wangfei just briefly explained to Rui Qinwang.

Of course, Rui Wangfei similarly understood to pick the favorable and avoid the harm. Some words, even if Jing Wan didn’t say, she also understood to have herself plucked out. While clearly knowing what the outcome will be from telling the truth, who would stupidly say it. So what if they were husband and wife? In this world, not that many couples were truly of one mind. They were further just a pair that was harmonious on the outside but divided at heart, completely just bounded by interest.

Rui Wangfei from beginning to end had her eyes lowered, else the emotions in the bottom of her eyes will leak out. In any case, this was her usual manner, so Li Hong Ming won’t suspect anything either.

Just as expected, Li Hong Ming endured and endured, but ultimately was unable to endure, directly smashing something in the horse carriage. Although he didn’t roar, the disturbance was still quite big. Quite a few guards outside were startled at first, but afterwards, lowered their heads, pretending that nothing happened. This was also a habit. For them to be startled, it was merely because the disturbance was sudden.

Every time at times like this, Rui Wangfei would always remain silent. Despite clearly knowing that the matter this time will implicate her, she still maintained an indifferent attitude, as if it had nothing to do with her. In reality, sometimes, even she herself all felt that she was very abnormal. Her body would move as usual, yet her consciousness was like as if it had left her body, watching coldly from another place.

Li Hong Ming’s way of maintaining his own image has already deeply penetrated into his bones. As such, when outside, no matter how angry, after slightly venting, he will just subconsciously restrain it, and won’t let the situation develop. And the consequences of restraining it was that when he does explode, it will just be even harder to control.

As such, when returning to Rui Qinwang Manor, prior to him entering the manor, his speech and conduct was all the same as usual. Aside from smiling less, he still appeared elegant and graceful.

Just, after entering, his steps just became a bit messy, and a bit rushed. Along the way, he encountered the people of the manor greeting to him. It was impossible for anyone to block his path, but in places like the corridor, the servants clearly were already sticking to the wall, and couldn’t be more deferential towards him, yet when he walked past looking straight ahead, he suddenly shot out his foot, “Beat to death with the rod.” Just coldly leaving behind these words.

Unknown as to what offense they’d committed, and before they could even react, they’d already gotten their mouth stuffed and dragged away. The words of plea simply was unable to come out, just carrying fear, and afterwards, just departed for the underworld. They probably never thought they would just die like this for no reason. Clearly yesterday, he’d even received wangye’s praise and reward. Clearly prior to meeting wangye, he was still flushed with success, feeling that he will soon be promoted, endlessly envied by others. It was merely an instant, merely an instant………..

Afterwards, similar situations appeared twice. The others that heard the news, if able to hide, they would immediately hide far away. And for those that can’t hide, each and every one were extremely fearful. Those that weren’t able to restrain themselves, their thighs violently shook, and afterwards, when bowing, they were clumsy from shaking. Despite clearly knowing that the more it was like this, the more serious the consequences will be, but they were simply unable to restrain the fear inside.

The servant girls and servant boys kneeling outside the study, their entire body shook, seeing Li Hong Ming stop before them. Although in their eyes, only the hem of the clothes remain, as well as a pair of shoes, and on there, it was clearly an exquisite embroidery, yet this while, it completely distorted into a formless demon, evilly grinning, wanting to devour them.

No longer able to hold on, one of the servant girl’s body went limp, directly passing out. And the others also weren’t much better. They also hated that they can’t pass out too.

Li Hong Ming momentarily looked down from above, letting out a cold sneer before he brushed his sleeve and entered the study. However, he didn’t continue lashing out.

And Rui Wangfei who was following behind him also knew that from the looks of it, they won’t be able to continue serving, so just waved her hand, letting them all withdraw.

Perhaps because he’d determined the fate of several human lives, Li Hong Ming found that feeling of controlling someone’s life and death again, knowing that he wasn’t the one getting suppressed to death, unable to move. This while, he didn’t continue smashing things in anger. Just, the overcast in his eyes ultimately didn’t dissolve.

Li Hong Ming quietly sat behind the desk, sitting for an entire two hours. And the others, including Rui Wangfei, as well as the aides, personal attendants, and head of the shadow guards that rushed over afterwards, all motionlessly stood there for two hours.

Afterwards, Li Hong Ming finally moved, “Have all the money in the manor that can be used organized out.”

That’s why, in the end, it was still just compromising, not daring to directly retort Li Hong Yuan, and further had no way of having this matter made public, fighting to death with the other party.

The moral of the story is in a lifetime, you might encounter many beautiful things, but as long as you use your heart to properly hold onto one, then it is enough. It’s an expression used nowadays to describe being loyal in love.
