Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 361.2: Stabbing the Knife In Quick Succession

Chapter 361.2: Stabbing the Knife In Quick Succession

Noble Consort Su has been in this position for that many years, so this endurance level was very ample. At this moment, although painful, but in the end, she still maintained her bearing. “This is consort mother’s fault, but Yuan’er coming in and immediately wanting to beat someone by consort mother’s side, isn’t this also inappropriate?”
“This lowly servant, overstepping their authority and offending their superior, should they not deserve to be beat?” Li Hong Yuan’s gaze was just short of writing, ‘consort mother, your own rules’.
“Yuan’er, this is only listening to Luo-shi’s one-sided statement, and not believing consort mother’s words?” Not being able to have the previous matter repeated was one thing, but on the inside, she was further discontent towards not being trusted by her son.
Li Hong Yuan momentarily fell silent, fixedly staring at Noble Consort Su, “You are this son’s consort mother, having raised this son. Luo-shi is this son’s wangfei, someone who will accompany this son for countless years in the future. For this son, one hopes that you two can both be well, hoping that the two of you can be harmonious like mother and daughter. Luo-shi is gentle, kind and good-tempered, and prior to marrying, also a first class filial young lady. And consort mother, you are a noble consort, and a good mother-in-law. You have always treated third sister-in-law extremely well.”
The meaning in Li Hong Yuan’s words couldn’t be more obvious. If problem occurs between the two of you as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then that was just your fault.
Noble Consort Su’s lips trembled, unable to say a single word.
Li Hong Yuan’s analysis was very reasonable. She, Luo Jing Wan, was both filial and of the younger generation. You, Noble Consort Su, was an elder, and further of esteemed status. To say Jing Wan went against her, probably not that many people would believe, but Noble Consort Su seemingly didn’t have any reason to target Jing Wan either, no?
“Consort mother, this son knows, even saints have people they don’t like. If Luo-shi is not to your liking, then in the future, just let her enter the palace less, asking you to please not bicker with her.” Li Hong Yuan continued stabbing, yet said it exceptionally sincerely, and this reasoning seemingly didn’t have any groundless areas either, truly having that bit of struggle of being stuck between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair.
Jing Wan even clapped her hands and cheered for Li Hong Yuan inside. Noble Consort Su certainly was about to be angered to death.
“This consort doesn’t dislike her.”
“This way is naturally the best. Then, it’s still the previous matter. Can consort mother tell this son exactly what happened?”
Say? Say what? Luo-shi is also here. Would she just let her twist the truth?
Noble Consort Su looked to Jing Wan again, really not having the slightest bit of good feelings. Just a silly little girl, yet already sharp-tongued, having deep schemes, even used to putting on an act. Their mother and son relationship was that good, yet because of her, caused conflict to birth between them. Appearing to not be a vixen, but this skill level clearly surpassed ten vixens.
Jing Wan had a scared look, shrinking behind Li Hong Yuan.
Noble Consort Su’s gaze grew even colder, yet just happened to meet with Li Hong Yuan’s.
Li Hong Yuan’s eyes just said ‘as expected’.
Noble Consort Su practically had a kind of ‘even jumping into the Yellow River all won’t be able to wash clean’ feeling, a moment ago saying no, yet in the next moment, just slapping one’s own face. Using the handkerchief, she covered her nose and mouth, deeply inhaling two breaths. She really was muddled from anger, her emotions leaking out this easily.
“Since consort mother is not letting your own people speak, then just let Luo-shi’s servant girl explain.”
Of the seven servant girls, the only one that stayed behind was just Qing Ju. With Li Hong Yuan saying this, she didn’t have the slightest misgiving at all, and like popped peas, just had the previous matter mostly explained. Even if Noble Consort Su sternly shouted at her to stop, it still wasn’t able to stop her, instead making others increasingly feel that Noble Consort Su was feeling guilty.
Qing Ju’s personality was a little more lively than others, but this didn’t mean that she was a stupid one. In her words, it was nothing more than having Jing Wan weakened, giving prominence to Noble Consort Su’s imposing manner as well as forcefulness. As for whether or not that old palace maid hit Jing Wan, she expressed that she was kneeling and had her head lowered, so didn’t see. However, that old palace maid did come in physical contact with their wangfei, and had a look of looking down from above, not having their wangfei taken seriously.
In the end, Qing Ju looked towards Li Hong Yuan with a confused look, “Wangye, could it be that wangfei said something wrong? But this servant feels there’s nothing wrong, so why is her Highness this angry? Rui Wangfei, as expected, is her Highness’s actual son’s wife, and our wangfei is just her foster son’s wife. Is that why her Highness only sends wangye people, and not send Rui Qinwang any?” Afterwards, she secretly glanced at Rui Wangfei, “Rui Qinwang is several years older than wangye, yet still doesn’t have a son. Wangye has just been married for half a year, so how come not having a son just won’t do?”
After Jing Wan finished stabbing, it was Li Hong Yuan’s turns, and now even a servant girl all came to deliver a blow, begging to question how many stabs were there on Noble Consort Su?
Noble Consort Su really regretted. Although things roughly were like this, but the slightest tilt can just completely change the outcome. The things she didn’t want to let her son know, in the end, still got revealed. If she’d known, she might as well have just controlled the flow from the start. To explain again now, most likely will be seen as making excuses, but if she doesn’t say anything, perhaps it will just be treated as tacitly agreeing.
No path in front, no door behind!
“Consort mother, Luo-shi has merely been in the capital for just a little more than a year, in the past, residing in Qi’an Fu along with Luo Old Madam the entire time. Luo Old Madam very much doted on her, never once instilling in her twisted and complicated things. As such, her inherent nature is pure and simple, saying whatever comes to mind, speaking unpleasantly without ill intent. This son believes, it absolutely wasn’t intentionally going against consort mother. Moreover, regarding Jiangnan’s matter, she indeed doesn’t know. If consort mother wants to know something, why not ask this son now. In any case, imperial father at this time have other business to attend to, so Jiangnan’s matter, this son still haven’t reported. Or perhaps, consort mother wants to let this son do something? It’s still not too late.” As Li Hong Yuan spoke, he expressionlessly turned his head and glanced at Li Hong Ming.
You, for the sake of your own son, can disregard your foster son. He, this foster son, was very clear of this, so even if wanting to do something, he didn’t have any complaints either, because she was his consort mother. It was her that had him raised to adulthood.
Noble Consort Su stared at his expressionless face. This kind of look, when facing others, was actually quite common, but in front of her, he always carried a trace of gentleness and warmth, yet now, disappeared without a trace. This meant that she will also be the same as others? Noble Consort Su was somewhat in a panic inside. Where did she still have the mind to bother with Jing Wan’s matters, even unconsciously walking down from the main seat, “Yuan’er, it’s not……………” She reached out wanting to pull him.
Li Hong Yuan retreated a step, avoiding her, “Consort mother, this son afraid can’t stay here for long.”
Noble Consort Su heartached to the extreme. Compared with the pain from before, it was two completely different matters. “Yuan’er, listen to consort mother, it’s not…………”
“Consort mother…………” Li Hong Ming who had been one with the background this whole time suddenly opened his mouth. Noble Consort Su looked over, seeing the plea in his eye.
Noble Consort Su knew that the matter this time was not small, especially after learning from Jing Wan’s mouth that enormous sum of ‘dirty money’. Ming’er absolutely can’t clean. If Yuan’er can help out, as long as the damage is smaller than others, they can just occupy an advantage. Right now, it was just a matter of one line from her, but the situation now was practically just choosing one from her two sons………….
Noble Consort Su looked to Li Hong Yuan, her lips trembling, her eyes unconsciously penetrated with guilt.
Li Hong Yuan bitterly laughed, suddenly reaching out to cover his eyes. A moment later, he removed his hand, not having any emotions at all, “Consort mother doesn’t need to be like this, and also don’t need to say anything. This son understands. You are this son’s consort mother, and in the future, still so. This bit forever won’t change.”
“Yuan’er………..” Noble Consort Su stared at Li Hong Yuan, his eye sockets clearly were somewhat red. This son, since childhood, was just a little tyrant. When has he ever revealed such a weak and forbearing look before? Her tears instantly fell.
“Consort mother…………” Li Hong Yuan reached out, seemingly wanting to wipe away her tears, yet paused in midair, retracting again, “This son will be going to imperial father’s place.” Turning his head, he looked towards Jing Wan, “Still not returning to the manor? This appearance, how is it proper?”
