Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 350.2: All Sorted Out

And Su Ting, who still hadn’t recovered, her pupils abruptly shrunk, “Wang, wangye………” The pain in her throat made her simply unable to speak properly.

The following words, she was also unable to say, directly getting her mouth stuffed and dragged out.

Li Hong Yuan’s gaze landed on Salt Boss Tie. That gaze was the same as the one towards Su Ting.

Salt Boss Tie trembled, hurriedly kneeling down, “Wangye, wangye, this matter, this commoner truly is unaware. If one knew, even if this commoner had a hundred guts, this commoner wouldn’t dare to touch wangye’s person either, asking wangye to please quell your anger, wangye please quell your anger…………” The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net .

“Just a line of not knowing, and a line of begging forgiveness, and it’ll be over with?”

Li Hong Yuan’s tone was very faint, yet Salt Boss Tie directly broke out in cold sweat. Originally, the person was fat to begin with, having a lot of sweat. In a short period of time, his clothes were just thoroughly soaked, just like having been fished up from the waters. He hurriedly turned around. The person that accompanied him here, seemingly a steward, hurriedly had the case in his arms handed over. Salt Boss Tie took it and deferentially lifted it up over his head, “A mere humble gift to apologize to wangye and wangfei.”

“To have already prepared the apology gift, yet still say you were unaware?”

This clearly was just nitpicking, but Jin Qinwang right now grasped Salt Boss Tie’s life and death. That’s why, Salt Boss Tie didn’t dare to retort a single word. “Slip of tongue, slip of tongue, this commoner was muddled. This is a mere humble gift to pay respect to wangye, asking wangye to kindly accept. Later, this commoner will immediately prepare a separate gift to apologize to wangye with, asking wangye to kindly accept.”

Li Hong Yuan raised his chin. Eunuch Mu intuitively understood, taking the case and opening it for Li Hong Yuan to look over.

“From the looks of it, must be a few million taels in banknotes, and this was even a mere humble gift. This prince is rather curious what a generous gift from your hands will be like.” Just a mere merchant, yet possess over twenty million taels of family wealth. Of course, this was even just in gold and silver. For someone like him, how could he not think of ways to rake in all kinds of rare treasures. And this portion really wasn’t easy to estimate. That’s why, this Salt Boss Tie’s net worth really was somewhat scary.

“Definitely won’t make wangye disappointed, definitely won’t make wangye disappointed.”

Getting called over by Jin Qinwang today, he’d thought it was the previous visiting card having a reply. That’s why, even if his injury hadn’t recovered, he still forcibly endured the pain and came over.

This five million taels of silver banknotes originally was just used for making connections. He also knew, if the amount of money given out the first time is too much, it will only have the other party’s appetite raised increasingly big, and perhaps in the future, will just extend the hand and ask for money from time to time, becoming more and more habitual. But, he was also clear that the only asset he grasped in hand was just money. The relationship networks and whatnot, in a wangye’s eyes, was nothing at all. That’s why, if one wants to climb onto a high branch, then one will just have to let the other party see one’s worth. Thus, clenching his teeth, he just took out several million taels all at once.

But now, the nature of this was completely different. This was money for buying one’s life!

“See out the guest.”

Salt Boss Tie also didn’t dare to say anything and could only deferentially retreat out. After going out, he nearly fell head first.

In this lifetime of his, he has never once suffered this big of a loss before. However, despite having suffered a loss, he was completely unable to retaliate back. Then, recalling the one that brought this calamity upon him, Su Ting, he nearly vomited blood in hatred. However, redeeming the person was impossible. Even taking out from Louxie Fang for a day or two was all undoable. Moreover, right now, he was unable to personally go sort her out. However, he can still let others go, no?

———-Slut, if I can’t make your life worst than death, then I won’t be called Salt Boss Tie.

And inside the room, Li Hong Yuan disinterestedly looked towards those banknotes, “After having the person squeezed dry, just send to the salt mines as a salt slave^[1].”

That’s why, for Li Hong Yuan, this ruthless and blackhearted person, offering an apology and making amends was just enough? You thought too beautifully! Moreover, he didn’t even give a verbal promise. If not for the sake of saving trouble, Salt Boss Tie wouldn’t even have the time to recuperate.

And this gift also became Jing Wan’s personal property.

Jing Wan felt that ever since marrying, no, it should be ever since getting engaged with a certain someone, towards things such as money and valuables, she has already become numb, especially during this trip in Jiangnan. Never mind counting money until one’s hand cramped, looking at these was just like looking at a pile of waste paper.

She felt that she was also about to lose her senses towards the concept of money, and that that was just a number.

Jing Wan feels that she needed to look for a bit of something to balance this. Thinking back and forth, got it, in the last feudalistic dynasty of her past life, that Empress Dowager^[2] that was in a state of a ruined country, her expenditure for a single day was just forty thousand taels of sliver. For her birthday banquet, it was spending over ten million teals.

In comparison, she was just accepting a lot, but not wasting money, en, balanced.

And Louxie Fang’s owner, Mei Yi, after taking over Su Ting, expressed that she will definitely act according to wangye’s instructions.

As such, Su Ting, this official family daughter that had talent in song and dance, matchless in the scholarly arts, and in terms of beauty, in a certain sense, wasn’t any inferior to Fu Xiao, just became Louxie Fang’s most lowly prostitute. As long as one can enter Louxie Fang’s entrance, with any bit of money, one was able to order her. All day, all night, aside from that bit of resting time, by her side, there won’t lack various kinds of men. Moreover, Mei Yi also forbid her from displaying her scholarly talents. If discovered, she’ll just be ruthlessly beat.

This kind of days will continuously accompany Su Ting all the way until she dies. Regardless whether it was dying on the bed, or really unable to withstand anymore and committing suicide. However, for someone like Mei Yi, that bit of benevolence of hers had all been given to Fu Xiao. To want to seek death under her hands wasn’t a simple matter.

Two days later, Gong Jiu’s anti-aging pill were all ready, and Li Hong Yuan did exactly as he said he would, directly letting someone send to the Pei clan residence in Chuanzhou Fu.

Eunuch Mu took along a few people and personally scaled the gates, smilingly having the things handed over to that head of the family, and afterwards, even amiably asked about the Pei clan leader madam, as well as the other young ladies.

That Pei clan member didn’t dare to slight, deferentially replying one by one.

“Old madam has woken up? In that case, it naturally can’t be better. She can have the anti-aging pill taken back to the Pei clan main residence.” Although Eunuch Mu said this, on the inside, he was instead clicking his tongue in astonishment. This old madam was also quite durable. Even Gong Jiu said that she needed to prepare for the funeral arrangements, yet she actually endured, even waking up.

However, that head of the family that was facing Eunuch Mu was nevertheless breaking out in cold sweat.

“Those young ladies will just trouble old mister to take care of some more.” Seemingly meaningfully glancing at those cases that contained the anti-aging pill. The anti-aging pill, although was something that had harm, but towards certain people, that was also an enormous enticement. “Farewell.”

After sending away Euncuh Mu, that head of the family stood in place for a good while.

Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, he personally looked over the cases, letting someone move to the main courtyard.

His wife immediately saw these things, and after learning what it was, she couldn’t help but tremble, “My lord, are these things really going to be sent back to the main residence?”

“Naturally have to send back. However, it has nothing to do with us. Right now, just take out six bottles and send to the six young ladies.”

The old woman blanked, her lips squirming, but ultimately didn’t say anything. This kind of virtue damaging matter, it’s not that she’s never done before. Even unborn and newly born children, she has all killed before, let alone right now, this didn’t even harm the life. Moreover, this matter, afraid, didn’t allow for them to not do. If they don’t do, perhaps this anti-aging pill will just be used on her own descendants.

‘Outsiders’ were forever unable to be more important than one’s own family.

The old woman took along a bunch of servant girls and old servant women, and just grandiosely headed to the little courtyard where the Pei clan young ladies were detained in.

During these days, they’ve been continuously making noise, wanting to meet the main master. Now that they’ve finally met, each and every one all sternly threatened. Unfortunately, the old woman was too lazy to bother with them, directly letting someone have them seized, and have the anti-aging pill all poured down.

This anti-aging pill normally needed to be taken at least three days apart. Downing the five altered pills all at once, the side effect will only intensify.

[1] As mentioned before, the government has a monopoly on salt, so all the salt mines are owned by the imperial court, and the ones working in those mines are generally slaves, or people doing forced labor as punishment.

[2] If the history of the world Jing Wan came from is exactly like ours, then this should be referring to Empress Dowager Cixi. She also has a very long posthumous title. Her rule was quite controversial, due to the chaotic social and political unrest at the time.

It’s debated whether she was considered a ruthless tyrant who was desperately trying to keep herself in power for as long as possible and ultimately caused the downfall of Qing, or a scapegoat demonized by the revolutionaries that wanted to overthrow the Qing dynasty, despite her trying her best to maintain political order, salvaging problems that were beyond saving by her time. Personally, I’ve always felt, there’s a little of both, because technically these two ideas don’t really conflict.
