Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 39: To Act Rashly, Exposing at a Glance

Chapter 39: To Act Rashly, Exposing at a Glance

Following that kind of unpredictable and moody master was practically like walking on thin ice. It couldn’t be more tiring. Yet, he didn’t even dare to raise the slightest bit of betraying intent. If you can’t be used by him, at most you’ll probably just be directly put to death. But if you sided with him and then gave birth to the thought of betraying him, then you will live far worse than death, and those people behind you will equally not have a good end. As for keeping him in the dark, you can just try and see if you have the ability to hide from his all seeing eyes. That’s right, in Qin Tian Ming’s eyes, Jin Wang had the ability to cover the skies!
Jing Wan didn’t have any interest in the excitement below, nor the verbal attacks from the two sides towards one another. She only wanted to know whether or not she will be able to see another treasure that she’d never seen before. During the waiting process, she was rather bored.
“Little sister Wan is that interested in that ink peony?” Sun Yi Jia actually didn’t understand their obsession towards those plants and flowers.
“Just like those people that like jewels and fine jade suddenly hearing that there’s a never seen before beautiful jewel about to debut, their hearts would inevitably feel ticklish. Even if they can’t take it as their own, they would still want to have a look. And if it’s the same as they’d anticipated, then probably they would feel satisfied. But if there’s a discrepancy, then they would probably feel disappointed. And prior to seeing it, one would feel eager, anxious, nervous and such. In short, I’m indeed quite interest.”
Sun Yi Jia nodded. She roughly understood this kind of feeling. Everyone, while facing something they like, more than half would be like such. She naturally had also experienced it before. However, the only difference was that this feeling’s intensity was different. “Looks like the stupid things fifth brother did in the past was also understandable. In the future, I’ll no longer make fun of him anymore.”
Sun Yi Lin once again was innocently stabbed.
Jing Wan laughed but didn’t say anything. Then, after hearing someone below shouting, ‘it’s here, it’s here’, she immediately became spirited again. She got up and turned her head to look down. The others more or less had the same reaction as her.
Two brocade clad men, appearing to have been raised spoiled, with white face, tender skin, and an arrogant look, not even having a proper form in their walking, carrying three part frivolousness. One was waving a jade folding fan, and on the folding fan was the work of a famous artist. The other person was playing with a rare amethyst wrist beads. Seeing one another, they both lifted their heads, and used their nostrils to face each other. Following behind them were a few servant boys, both sides carrying a tightly sealed large wooden trunk. From the two sides, they walked up to the center of the circular stage decorated in luxuriant flowers that was usually used as a stage for song and dance performances.
The two appeared to be dead rivals in their usual days too, taunting one another again from head to toe again.
Because of their squabble, Jing Wan’s head ached terribly, and for some unknown reason, her anger shot up too. She conveniently reached over, grabbed the nearby teacup and threw it down.
With a clatter sound, it quieted down. The people watching also quieted. And almost like as if everyone had the same idea, they all looked towards the direction where the teacup was thrown from. Jing Wan also knew that because she was anxious, she did something stupid. But because there was something blocking next to her, it was already too late to want to immediately retreat. She was already prepared to be pointed at by others, but never thought that a dark figure would flash before her eyes. She was being safely blocked from view. Glancing at the back that was inches away from her, Jing Wan slightly let out a breath, and then slowly moved away from one side.
Facing the others’ meaningful looks, Jing Wan embarrassingly laughed.
Luo Pei Shan poked at her in the air, “You ah, grandfather really thought you were a steady one, never thought that you too would have a willful side. If it wasn’t for this brat’s fast reaction, what will you be like now?”
“For something that didn’t happen, this granddaughter refuses to comment.” Jing Wan shamelessly said. Yep, thanks to grandmother’s teachings.
Everyone was amused by her rebellious appearance.
“No matter, no matter, for a little girl to occasionally be rash once in a while is also understandable.” Head Magistrate Diwu spoke.
Sun Yi Lin also turned his head and smiled, completely unconcerned with the people below. And as for the two in the leading roles below, they’d lifted their heads wanting to immediately curse at someone, yet because they saw Sun Yi Lin, they instead awkwardly shut their mouths. Theoretically, Sun Yi Lin was just like them, a noble young master, and their ages weren’t that far apart either. Sun Yi Lin was born high and noble. Their births weren’t low either, but when facing Sun Yi Lin, they are just a head shorter. He was also the one among them that was the most shunned. Sun Yi Lin was the ‘other family’s child’ that all their elders spoke of, the most hateful kind. Meeting him, the ones that are forever in the wrong were them. ‘Gentleman Sun is generous and kind, how could he do this kind of thing?’ It practically couldn’t be more upsetting.
“Gentlemen, stop beating around the bush, it’s best to quickly open them and let everyone see. And also let this one see too.” Finally, Sun Yi Lin properly looked to the two of them. With the true mannerism of a noble young master, he contrasted against the two below.
Although they very much didn’t want to give him face, but if they really did that, then they’ll definitely suffer the consequences when they go back. Those older and younger sisters, who either admire or have feelings for this guy, were practically beyond reason. Even if he was someone on the enemy side, their heads would still become feverish all the same. Perhaps, right now in this building, there’s someone among them that’s present.
Qin Tian Ming’s youngest di son, just by his birth, he was already a level higher than Rui Wangfei’s younger brother that was across from him. After all, the person that held the highest official position in the Liu family was an old cabinet minster, yet he ranked last of the four cabinet ministers and didn’t hold a nobility title. Gentleman Qin wasn’t going to be courteous either this time. “I’ll go first then.” Not waiting for Gentleman Liu to speak, he directly had someone open the wooden trunk.
Although he said it so effortlessly, it wasn’t so effortless for the actual people doing it. If by chance they were to be careless and damaged the treasure inside, ten of their lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate it.
Perhaps because Gentleman Liu was confident in his own flower, even after hearing that the other side was an ink peony, he was still unfazed. He looked rather lax, perhaps waiting for his own breed to stun the whole audience.
The ink peony that everyone had different opinions about was finally called out. A flower that was only as tall as a person’s chest, with a few sparse ink colored peony flowers blooming, appeared. Just the flower’s shape wasn’t considered big, and the flower’s color was also somewhat deep. Perhaps because the speculations from before were too exaggerated, it wasn’t able to reach the anticipated height. Even though everyone was amazed that this kind of breed really did exist, but for the most part, their reaction wasn’t that exaggerated. No matter how rare it was, the quality itself wasn’t good. Thus, it was very hard to attract their attention.
Gentleman Qin’s face reddened from anger. He didn’t expect that the treasure that he’d thought would assure his success was actually not that well-regarded by others. He simply didn’t know that this was purely because he’d bragged too much. If from the start, the crowd didn’t know, then suddenly was enlightened, no matter what, it would still shock some people. In a fit of anger, he lifted his foot and kicked the person next to him.
Gentleman Liu sneered, “Just this, and you still dare to declare it the queen of flowers? Properly open your eyes then.”
Perhaps because of the disappointment towards the ink peony, everyone rather looked forward to Gentleman Liu’s flower, all guessing one after another what it may be. Then, seeing Gentleman Liu’s expression, perhaps this might actually be the real treasure.
By the time the wooden trunk was opened, the entire audience was indeed shocked. Similarly, also a peony, but what was different was that this peony’s quality was not only very good, but it even bloomed in red, pink, and white, three different colors. The colors were evenly distributed, and every flower all exceptionally beautiful. Compared to the four great name breeds of peony, it wasn’t lacking in the slightest either. This was the real rare treasure. Almost everyone present all let out an infatuated expression.
Rather, it was Jing Wan whose expression was indifferent and even cold, appearing to disdain that peony beyond contempt. When her gaze landed on the ink peony again, she instead let out a tender expression.
“Little sister Wan doesn’t like that three colored peony?” Sun Yi Jia wasn’t someone who was especially fond of flowers, but even she liked it a lot. Little sister Wan’s reaction wasn’t right. Can’t you see even her own fifth brother was wishing he could glue his eyes onto that three colored peony?
Hearing this, everyone else came back to their sense and saw Jing Wan’s expression, all feeling it wasn’t right.
Luo Pei Shan recalled his own granddaughter having a multicolored peony too, seemingly also in the three colors: red, pink, and white. Could it be that because she’d thought her own to be the one and only, and now seeing another one, she felt upset inside? Or perhaps because her own peony’s quality wasn’t as good as this one? However, Luo Pei Shan didn’t believe his own granddaughter was this kind of a petty person. Sun Yi Lin also thought of similar questions, and perhaps because he’d found Jing Wan quite pleasing to the eyes from the start, he didn’t think she was a narrow-minded person either. Rather, he really wanted to go comfort her.
Jing Wan raised her head and saw their strange expressions, and helplessly laughed, “I just felt it was a shame for such a good quality white peony to be ruthlessly ruined by them.”
With his expression immediately turning serious, Luo Pei Shan spoke, “What do you mean? White peony? Then what’s with the other two colors, red and pink?”
Sun Yi Lin lightly frowned, appearing to have thought of something, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
“Probably dyed on there. However, don’t know whose handiwork it belongs to, but it really does look quite real. Moreover, right now isn’t the flowering period for peony yet. To be able to have it bloom this beautifully, they really have good skill. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, this condition won’t be maintained for much longer.”
Feelings of being fooled and deceived spontaneously sprung up. However, on the contrary, no one doubted Jing Wan’s words. Aside from believing in her character, Luo Pei Shan also believed in her insight. Besides, it’s actually quite simple to verify. No matter how real the dye looked, it was still fake after all.
However, thinking to the person behind Gentleman Liu, Rui Qinwang, who knows whether or not this pot of flower was purposely brought out by him in order to lure out old men like them. But even so, he still couldn’t expose the truth.
