Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 78.2: Not Only Have to Guard Against Men, But Also Women

Chapter 78.2: Not Only Have to Guard Against Men, But Also Women

By the time she saw Luo Old Madam, seeing her slightly heavy complexion, Jing Wan just knew her guess was probably correct. “Grandmother…….”
“Wan Wan’s here, quickly come over. You all can withdraw.” She pulled Jing Wan to her side and waved at the servants to withdraw. “Have you rested enough?”
“En, how about grandmother?”
“Grandmother is fine. Look at this.” Luo Old Madam handed a letter to Jing Wan.
Jing Wan didn’t hesitate and directly opened it. Sure enough, it was as expected. Just, “Jin Qinwang’s whereabout so far is still unknown, his life or death unclear?”
“Yes, at least, before your mother and them left the capital, no one in the capital has received any news yet.”
“This shouldn’t be.” Logically speaking, Jin Qinwang should’ve returned to White Dragon Temple even earlier than her. Even if worrying that there still might be assassins hiding in ambush here, and settled down somewhere else, or perhaps secretly returned to the capital, he should’ve at least informed his Majesty. Could it be that his Majesty was deliberately concealing his whereabouts in order to use this as a pretext to make a fuss and fiercely strike or cripple the power of the culprit behind the scenes. This actually wasn’t impossible. Although regarding Jin Qinwang’s rumors, most were negative, but despite having no power, he was still deeply favored by his Majesty; this bit was also known by everyone.
“Why did Wan Wan say it like that? Is there something wrong?”
“It’s like this…..” Jing Wan hid the ‘intimacy’ with Jin Qinwang, and had the remaining all systematically narrated in full detail to Luo Old Madam. From the start, she’d never planned on hiding this matter from Luo Old Madam. If Jin Qinwang’s side makes any movements, she wouldn’t be able to hide it even if she wanted to. Even if Jin Qinwang agrees to her idea, and doesn’t do anything, she still wouldn’t hide it. Her knowledge and experience in this world is limited after all. Perhaps there’s still some rules hidden beneath the surface that she doesn’t know about. Who knows whether or not she might have inadvertently violated some taboo, especially since she and Jin Qinwang met because of an assassination attempt. In the future, if something were to happen, she wouldn’t even know the reason, then that would really not be worth it. But with Luo Old Madam standing guard for her, then it wouldn’t be the same. She was always able to take all aspects into consideration, and if she can’t, there’s was still grandfather. Even if the assassination attempted had nothing to do with her, she still needed to prepare a surefire plan.
When Luo Old Madam finished listening, her complexion became heavy. Regarding Wan Wan’s reputation, she couldn’t not treat seriously, but right now, it was useless to overthink. They still needed to wait and see Jin Qinwang side’s attitude. “Wan Wan, this matter, generally speaking, you did the right thing, just grandmother is worried that if Jin Qinwang wants to receive you into the manor…….”
“An unsure problem, grandmother rather doesn’t need to worry about. If it really comes to that step, just let it be however it should be. A dignified qinwang wanting an insignificant young lady of the boudoir, do we even have the power to refuse? Perhaps, Jin Qinwang, considering the fact that I’d saved him, or perhaps because I’m not beautiful enough to enter his eyes, will just leave this matter unsettled.”
“…….hoping that’s the case.” Seemingly, it can only be like this for now. What was more important was to not get involved in the assassination attempt. “Once the sky brightens tomorrow, grandmother will go back and discuss with your grandfather. I’ll let your mother stay here. Qiao Qiao and Zhou family’s miss can’t move about for the time being, and Jia’er, afraid, won’t be returning to the capital for a while, so stay some more days at the White Dragon Temple too.”
“Listen all according to grandmother.”
The people outside couldn’t hear what the grandmother-granddaughter pair were saying, but Gong mama heard rather clearly, thinking to herself, ‘Old Madam, why don’t you take miss back with you to the capital.’ Others don’t know, but she knew. That living Enma is residing in the White Dragon Temple right now. He’d only just moved from the place he was previously residing in. His guards on the surface couldn’t see him, so naturally were still dispatching people to search outside. Aside from that body of injuries, who knows how carefree he’s living right now. Anywhere with him present, for miss, were all a tiger’s den and a wolf’s lair. Leaving the delicacy that he’s been wholeheartedly yearning for by his mouth, do you feel that he’s still not living well enough? According to Gong mama’s understanding of him, afraid for every day that miss is at White Dragon Temple is however long he will not show himself to the outside and continue to be missing.
In this period, his Majesty will bound to have grown more white hair, and the unfortunate ones were naturally the court officials. Encountering this kind of son, they shed a sympathetic tear for his Majesty. Encountering this kind of reckless prince, they shed three sympathetic tears for the great ministers. And encountering this kind of willful ruler, they shed a bucket of sympathetic tears for his future subjects. Thinking of it like this, Gong mama’s heart felt much more balanced. Him doing those things to miss, although do not conform to etiquette, but he also didn’t really harm miss. And his real intentions weren’t just to play around either.
Jing Wan chatted with Luo Old Madam for a while before finally heading back.
In this world, there weren’t any pastimes at night, so if one can’t sleep, one can only just read a book or the like. In the temple courtyard, there were naturally the most of scriptures. Scriptures were already difficult to understand in itself; to be able to understand more than half was already good enough, any deeper meaning, Jing Wan was self-aware that she had no fate with it. It was already quite boring, but calming down her heart, she still could read it in.
At the same time while Jing Wan was reading, Li Hong Yuan was also in the middle of reading all the collected information. This living Enma was a turtledove occupying the magpie’s nest, forcibly having Grandmaster Liao Chen ‘swept out the door’. And that’s not all, he even disliked that the things in the room have been used before, and thus from head to tail, had everything replaced. Fortunately, Grandmaster Liao Chen was benevolent at heart and didn’t bicker with him, only turning around and neither quickly nor slowly, headed for another room in the monastery.
Have to say, the place where Grandmaster Liao Chen lived wasn’t the White Dragon Temple, but rather in a paradise-like mountain valley at the rear of the mountain. On normal days, aside from the novice monks that were in charge of sweeping, regardless whether it was the worshippers or some other people, all were not allowed to set foot here, including Grandmaster Liao Chen himself. During the day, he normally always stays in the temple. All year round, Li Hong Yuan would barely ever come to White Dragon Temple. Moreover, in everyone else’s eyes, Grandmaster Liao Chen treated everyone all the same. He can be said to truly treat all living things equally. No one would have ever thought that these two possessed such a deep ‘friendship’. In addition to the deep respect towards Grandmaster Liao Chen, even if they turn the entire White Dragon Temple inside out, they still wouldn’t come search here.
Li Hong Yuan flipped through the letters page by page. In the capital, the reactions of those brothers of his, the reaction of that imperial father of his, and the reactions of the various important ministers in court, not one was not complete. None of these things exceeded his expectation, all were with his grasp. Thus, he only looked through them once and tossed them to the side unconcerned.
The last thing he looked at was naturally the matters on Jing Wan’s side. Because of Jing Wan’s unexpected accident, he naturally dispatched more people to her side, but those were all just in the shadows after all. To want to protect her up close was very difficult. Looks like, he still needs to think of a way to send two more people to her side.
Li Hong Yuan flipped to the next page. Eunuch Mu once again sensed his mood change, thinking to himself, didn’t she already safely returned to White Dragon Temple? Could it be that something happened?
Li Hong Yuan flicked the letter with his finger, “This prince not only has to guard against men in the future, but also needs to guard against women too?”
T/N: So I normally don’t do this, but there’s an excerpt from the latest chapter I translated that I wanted to share:
李鸿渊轻轻的笑了笑，这就是他的婉婉，没有绝世的容颜，没有强硬的背景，没有各种才艺，可她温柔体贴，善解人意，大气从容，心胸豁达，坚毅不屈，知道感恩，却从不怨天尤人，良善却也爱憎分明，喜欢就是喜欢，不喜欢就是不喜欢，不矫揉造作，这样的她，有几个人不喜欢，不稀罕？
Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled. This was precisely his Wan Wan. She didn’t have an exceptional appearance, didn’t have a strong background, and didn’t have various kinds of talents. But she was gentle and considerate, good at understanding others, calm and easygoing, generous and open-minded, resolute and unyielding, knows to be grateful, yet never blames the heavens nor others, kind yet also has clear and distinct likes and dislikes, liking is liking and disliking is disliking, never to be pretentious. This kind of her, how many people would not like, not cherish?
