Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 563: Fate Created By Human Hands

After finishing everything, the shadow left the room, closing the door.

Just as they were about to leave, a sound of ‘Amitabha Buddha’, made the incomer freeze. However, they didn’t become flustered, following the direction of the sound and looking over. Curtsying, they very mannerly greeted, “Grandmaster.”

“Amitabha Buddha, for benefactor^[1] to be visiting at night, don’t know what it’s for?”

A moment of silence later, a soft laughter sounded, “In this world, when it comes to having a heart as clear as a mirror, afraid no one can compare to grandmaster. Grandmaster should know, I don’t have any ill-intentions, at least towards wangfei, it’s like so.”

“Amitabha Buddha.” Grandmaster Liao Chen twirled the buddhist beads, but didn’t say anything.

“Grandmaster is an outsider, not easily involving oneself in worldly affairs. Just, grandmaster harbors all living beings in one’s heart, taking pity on the people of the world, so ultimately unable to completely wander outside the mortal realm, thus to a certain degree, got involved in this matter. However, this way is actually quite good. Regardless of how you view Jin Qinwang inside, and for what reason you’re helping him, wangfei is ultimately innocent. She shouldn’t have gotten involved in this bloody battle. That’s why, this way right now is really quite good.”

Grandmaster Liao Chen had an amiable look, his specific age unknown, but at present, in this world, if he were second in age than no one would dare to claim first. He possessed a healthy body, the eyes not cloudy, and even under this not very clear moonlight, still able to have the other party seen clearly.

In this world, people with chaotic threads of fate were ultimately just the minority. This was also nothing more than just a pitiful soul.

“In the depths of the night, the dew is heavy. It’s best for benefactor to return early and rest. Amitabha Buddha.”

“Many thanks grandmaster.” She knew that regarding tonight’s matter, Grandmaster Liao Chen has turned the page.

How she came was just how she went, her steps not changing, nor deliberately trying to stay out of sight, very much open.

Grandmaster Liao Chen momentarily stared at the room Jing Wan was in, lifting his foot and walking over. His steps truly were completely soundless. He also didn’t need to borrow anything, able to accurately walk to Jing Wan’s side. Extending his hand, he took her pulse. Just as expected, she should be able to wake in three days. His gaze landed on the buddhist beads on Jing Wan’s wrist. Others weren’t able to tell, but in his eyes, the changes were practically obvious at a glance, just like between a pair of bright golden beads, a dark purple bead appeared. Although the color seemingly appeared a bit ominous, but Grandmaster Liao Chen could sense that this bead was harmless, and able to resolve the problem on Jin Wangfei. Moreover…..

Human heart, right and wrong, twists….

Grandmaster Liao Chen brushed his sleeves, leaving the room, and that door just automatically closed on its own. And inside the room, there seemingly were invisible changes.

Gong mama moved, and afterwards, woke up all of a sudden. She furrowed her brows, getting up to light a lantern, first checking Jing Wan’s situation, from head to toe, not overlooking a single area. Shortly after, she looked around, having the windows and door, as well as some particular areas all carefully examined. She didn’t discover anything out of place, but based on her intuition as a former shadow guard, she was unable to relax no matter what.

Afterwards, Gong mama opened the door, looking in all directions. There was no problem, yet that strange feeling was impossible to get rid of.

For the remainder of the night, Gong mama all wasn’t able to close her eyes again.

TN: All

As for the person that returned to their own room from Jing Wan’s place, after entering the room, they abruptly detected that there was someone else in the room. In reality, that kind of feeling didn’t make one happy, but they nevertheless didn’t make a sound. Looking at the motionless person standing by the window, even if getting reflected in the moonlight, there still wasn’t the slightest celestial air, instead appearing sinister and gloomy, even making the moonlight outside all somewhat lose color, not appearing like a living person. It truly made one displeased.

He didn’t open his mouth, and she didn’t speak either.

“This late, why did you go look for her?” Seemingly as if the scene would just drag on for an eternity, the person standing by the window finally opened his mouth. Just, that voice was a bit hoarse, but not the kind that was similar to being half-asleep, or deliberately lowering the voice, but further like the vocal cords having been damaged, sounding bit piercing to the ears.

“Wangfei is the master, so even if keeping watch throughout the night, it’s also something that can’t be more normal.”

“But you’re not trusted right now. The others merely just got implicated, yet you’re the main culprit.”

The woman coldly scoffed, “We’re not much different, neither a good thing. However, speaking of which, your guts sure are big, daring to come looking at this time. Could it be that you really think wangye had all the capable people under him taken away?”

No matter what the reality was, for him to be able to stand here, it was already the best proof.

The person by the window slightly turned his head. Under the faint moonlight, that pair of eyes was exceptionally clear, similarly very terrifying. Not only so, there was also that bumpy face of him. On the surface, there seemingly was even something squirming, practically making one get goosebumps from looking.

The woman’s expression subtly changed, “You really are disgusting.”

Perhaps because it long wasn’t the first time facing this kind of gaze and words from others, he didn’t have the slightest ripple.

And perhaps because this unruffled appearance of his angered her, “Don’t know what kind of reaction wangfei will have seeing this appearance of yours, is it getting frightened, or getting disgusted? Out of ten people, at least nine will probably view you as a beast of calamity, and that remaining one will have fainted in the first moment.”

There was finally a change in his eyes, dark and sinister, not like a beast, but rather a yaksha. However, in the end, he didn’t do anything either. Don’t know whether it’s because he’s too lazy to bother, or completely discouraged. Having the thing in hand thrown over, “The thing inside can cure the sleep gu. In three days, take her away from White Dragon Temple.”

“You all sure think highly of me. Being able to poison wangfei with the sleep gu is already extremely difficult. Now, Gong mama simply doesn’t allow any of us to go near. To cure the sleep gu under her eyelids? Do you want to let me be exposed directly? Still haven’t crossed the river, yet you all are already preparing to tear down the bridge?” The woman held the porcelain bottle in hand. Google seaʀᴄh ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

“That’s your problem. If unable to accomplish, what use is there for you.”

“Are you not afraid of me having you all ratted out?”

The person before the window mockingly hooked the corner of his mouth, “If Li Hong Yuan comes back alive, then without needing you to say anything, we all won’t have a good end. And if he dies, no matter how much you rat out, it’ll all be of no use.”

“Turns out, for you all, wangye still has the possibility of returning alive. I thought that you all were very thorough in your plans, setting an absolute death trap. In that case, I really have thought too highly of you all.”

“This has nothing to do with you. You just need to properly handle your own matters.” Flinging his sleeve, he directly brushed past the woman’s side, leaving in large strides.

After returning to silence, the woman casually tossed the porcelain bottle in hand, sitting down on a simple wooden chair, propping up her cheek with one hand. Compared to earlier, faintly carrying indignation and ridicule, right now, she was completely at peace.

In the dark, her state of mind was somewhat fleeting. Those people all treated her as the mud on the ground, stepping on however they want. And she herself all must walk according to the path they arrange, having no freedom, no dignity, and no self.

Her time in Jin Qinwang Manor were actually her happiest moments, not needing to entertain guests, not needing to liven the scene and sell smiles. The great majority of the people in the manor, because she was someone serving by wangfei’s side, all somewhat respected and fawned over her. And the people that knew her identity, even if not trusting her that much, having her excluded for a lot of things, still never once looked down on her.

She possessed large amounts of money, and should be the wealthiest of all the slave class. In the past, when obtaining, she even hesitated. Mei Yi was in the prostitution business, yet how come was just exceptionally different towards her, never mind delaying the time for her to receive guests, but when leaving, even giving her large amounts of money, saying it was the money she sold herself for.

If her days in Jin Qinwang Manor didn’t get shattered, she perhaps really would be grateful to Mei Yi for a lifetime.

When wangfei and them were still in the northwest, suddenly one day, someone came looking, telling her a story.

Her father was a meticulously trained shadow guard, while her mother was just an ordinary woman. Their union was not blessed by anyone. The reason why she was able to survive a few years with her parents, that was all due to her father using his life to take on high risk missions one after another. Her mother similarly was deeply trapped in the mud, strenuously struggling. But these were still far from enough. Those people will never raise useless people. Starting from that time, she just began deliberately getting trained as a pawn, under circumstances completely unbeknownst to her.

The bloody pools, the plaintive cries of geese, starvation filling the mountain, and broken families. Following her mother’s words on the deathbed, she must survive. Alone with no one to depend on, painfully struggling, suffering from humiliation, and falling to prostitution, these were all just a process for training her.

Once it was more or less time that was when she will be put to use. Just, what was fortunate was that without needing those people to put in more effort, she just entered Jin Qinwang Manor.

They said, the reason why Jin Wangfei kept her was because she first protected Jin Wangfei’s servant girl. That’s why, she simply didn’t owe Jin Wangfei anything. To be able to serve the master was an honor that someone lowly like her wasn’t able to even ask for.

Her miserable fate was singlehandedly created by them, yet now she even needed to give her life for them, how laughable.

She couldn’t refuse, because her parents were still alive. Some things, she had no choice but to do. If she didn’t have any memories regarding them, then perhaps it didn’t matter, but her memories towards them were very deep, very very deep. And precisely because of those deep-rooted memories, it instead made her for a time suspect that those were actually also deliberately created. She was too young, not having the ability to judge, that’s why she easily believed their good. She even suspected that those simply weren’t her real parents.

Everything was all just a method to control someone.

Although suspecting, her feelings still occupied the upper hand. As for whether or not they were still alive, she didn’t dare to gamble.

Just, for people like her, were they just born to be grasped by others, manipulated however others wanted?

Fu Rong let a strange smile in the dark.

Speaking of which, to deal with Jin Qinwang alone, Southern Qi even needed to use gu, this kind of unpredictable thing, even going as far as to look for Former Wei to join hands. Jin Qinwang was indeed too strong, but these people were also too useless.

Just as Grandmaster Liao Chen had determined, Jing Wan sure enough woke up in three days. Gong mama nearly cried tears of joy.

And towards the current situation, Jing Wan seemingly wasn’t surprised either. In fact, she didn’t even ask anything. After dispelling the discomfort on her body, she very calmly ate a vegetarian meal. Of course, having not consumed food for a period fo time, she didn’t eat much.

[1] 施主 – Benefactor, term used by monks to address a normal person

T/N: Yep, Fu Rong is the main culprit as well as a spy from another country, her origins being special have been hinted before. The current situation is pretty much Southern Qi and Former Wei, along with Sun Yi Lin, joining hands to eliminate LHY.
