Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 581.1: Forcing, Rebellion

Chapter 581.1: Forcing, Rebellion
Forcing, Rebellion (1)
That bit of stability among the servants, as time passed, gradually turned into excitement. Didn’t the rumors outside all say that their master was full of ambitions, carrying out preparations for a rebellion these last few years?
They originally didn’t believe, because they who were ‘under the same roof’ never once noticed anything, but after hearing more, they also couldn’t help but produce suspicions. And now, if wangye really didn’t have that intention, then he can completely return openly, so why would he return without a sound? It was more than enough to see that perhaps it really was as the rumors say.
The people outside had wangye rumored to be this and that impressive, so did this just mean that wangye really has the ability to ascend the throne? If this is true, then how can one not be excited? After all, as the saying goes, ‘a person obtaining enlightenment, the chickens and dogs ascend along with’. If their wangye becomes the emperor, then won’t they, these servants, immediately increase in status too?
They began thinking more and more, even beginning to imagine what it will be like in the future.
Of course, the people that harbored such wonderful thoughts were just the majority. Some believed that it was better to remain rational. Speaking of which, what if wangye doesn’t succeed? Right now, wangye was the public enemy of all the other princes. Moreover, in the past, he’d offended that many people. If he fails, then they afraid all won’t have a good end.
As such, they were terrified and anxious. The more they thought about it, the more they dreaded, feeling as if the blade was already propped against their neck, producing the desire to escape the manor. As for what to do after leaving, they actually weren’t clear. One has to know, right now, they were just completely muddled.
However, Jin Qinwang Manor right now was actually still tightly under control. Even if there were still some people that had small problems in the manor, or purely just because of fear, this while, don’t even think about setting a foot outside the manor.
And in a few more hours, everything will all be rewritten.
Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan peacefully enjoyed their morning meal. It was still that familiar taste, and still very delicious.
If eating year in and year out, then perhaps it would just feel normal, but the situation now wasn’t the same. They hadn’t eaten in quite some time. That’s why, it tasted exceptional pleasant. Jing Wan couldn’t help but eat half a bowl more of porridge.
Li Hong Yuan took it all in, “Sure enough, the things in the manor further suit your appetite.”
Jing Wan wiped her mouth, “It’s just because of not having eaten in a long time.” The familiar taste was one thing. In reality, it might be because of returning to a familiar environment. Perhaps the capital right now wasn’t peaceful, but a familiar environment can always make one feel more at ease. This kind of feeling, the great majority of people should all have.
Li Hong Yuan nodded, not saying anything. For him, it was the same as usual.
After they finished eating, “Ah Yuan, is there anything that needs to be done today?” Jing Wan asked, carrying a bit of laziness as she propped up her chin.
“No need to do anything, just need to wait.” The things that need to be arranged were already arranged.
That’s why, in these next few hours, they were actually quite idle.
Jing Wan looked outside. Clearly, it had already arrived at the tensest moment, yet they seemingly were still the same as usual.
TN: All
Tsk, sure enough, shouldn’t have needed to worry. As for what will happen if they fail, this kind of ‘what if’ also don’t need to think about, there truly wasn’t any meaning. When time comes, it’ll just be how it should be.
Thus, Jing Wan just returned to her usual fetus raising days back in the manor previously.
Afterwards, when looking at those plants and flowers, she finally discovered that someone was missing, and shortly after, just recalled what happened, “Where’s Qing Ju, bring her to see me.”
Ever since Jing Wan’s incident, Qing Ju has just been locked up. However, because the masters didn’t order to deal with, and the mamas also didn’t say anything, aside from getting locked up, everything else was still fine.
The place that Qing Ju got locked up in was right in this main courtyard, so last night, she already learned that Jing Wan and them had returned. During this time while they were away, because of not being able to obtain any news, she didn’t know Jing Wan’s specific situation. And as time passed, she just felt increasingly anxious inside. Sometimes, she would always be startled awake from the nightmares of Jing Wan already meeting with mishap. Even if her meals weren’t any different from before, she still wasn’t able to eat much. Under this kind of situation, Qing Ju naturally just wasted away, becoming haggard and dispirited. Even if last night, because of learning that Jing Wan was still well, she’d slept pretty well, her appearance was still very awful.
As such, when Jing Wan saw her, she was also in disbelief. Her first reaction was that perhaps she’d suffered mistreatment, but thinking again, it shouldn’t be possible. During this period of time while they were absent, everything in the main courtyard was all managed by her wet nurse. Towards her servant girls, her wet nurse has always been pretty good to them, even treating them as her daughters, and Qing Ju’s mistake also wasn’t deliberately committed. Since it was said to wait for her to handle, then there won’t be things such as mistreatment.
Very soon, Jing Wan just understood the reason. Her personality was just a bit lively and carefree, but inherently she was just a straightforward type. Her loyalty naturally didn’t need to be doubted, but in many cases, it’s also precisely because of this that some things, she was just unable to bear.
Seeing Qing Ju quietly kneeling on the ground, not only her clothes appearing empty and not fitting, her temperament also completely changed. A great misfortune, to a very large extent, can make a person change in personality, but Qing Ju’s matter really wasn’t to that extent, but for her, perhaps there was nothing more serious than this. The situation was much more serious than what they’d all thought.
Jing Wan sighed, “Why don’t you get up.”
To have already made herself like this, this punishment was already enough. Presumably, this lesson, she will certainly remember.
“Wangfei, please issue the punishment.”
Speaking of which, Qing Ju’s greatest crime was probably just having a secret affair with a man. This in itself was just an enormous crime, especially for a first rank servant girl that served by the master’s side. To a very large degree, her every move all represented her master. If a scandal appeared, it will also be counted on the master’s head by outsiders. To put it lightly, that was just not being strict in governing, not knowing how to discipline. But, on the serious side, that was just the servant resembling the master. What it ruins, won’t just be her own reputation.
Getting deceived and used, harming the master, this bit similarly can’t be pardoned, but she inherently was also a victim. Other places certainly won’t allow it, but for Jing Wan, it wasn’t the same. Even killing someone is split into deliberately killing and accidentally killing. It was impossible for Jing Wan to have her beaten to death or sold just because of this matter. Just, this girl clearly was stubborn.
“Then, from today onwards, just go do the sweeping. You will be in charge of the entire main courtyard.” Jing Wan was helpless. If she really doesn’t let her do a bit of something, then she might just try to use death to atone for her sins.
“Yes, many thanks master.”
Compared to Fu Rong, Qing Ju was actually considered a true qualifying servant girl.
Fu Rong, that kind, to put it unpleasantly, was just treacherous by nature.
It originally was just a small matter, so once settled, it was also just over with. After going through this matter, Qing Ju really won’t marry for the rest of her life. If Jing Wan takes her into the palace with her, then she might just die of old age in the palace. If not, then the estate will just be where she will spend the rest of her life.
“Why worry yourself over these small matters.” Li Hong Yuan discontentedly said.
“Where am I worrying myself, merely just a matter of a few words.” Jing Wan helplessly said.
“Wan Wan, there’s one thing this husband must remind you. The servant girls by your side have followed you for many years and are loyal towards you. You treating them differently, also being exceptionally soft towards them, this is also quite normal. But, you treating the matter lightly today will just increase the impression of you being ‘gentle and soft’ in other people’s mind. Perhaps they will just subconsciously believe that even if they do something wrong, they will still be forgiven by you, especially if it’s a mistake they didn’t consciously make, and the aftermath brought about by it is just them not being careful enough. That way, they might just get used by others again. You have to know, this kind of matter, sometimes will lead to disastrous consequences. The higher the position one stands, the more dangerous it will be.”
Jing Wan blanked. This while, she really didn’t think of that much, but this was also a fact.
Jing Wan looked to Qing Ju again, revealing a hesitant look.
Qing Ju once again knelt down, “Asking wangfei to please sentence this servant to death.”
Jing Wan’s lips slightly trembled. The things deeply carved into the bones, sure enough, weren’t that easy to change.
“Wangfei, this servant’s crimes, originally should just be a death sentence. Wangfei is merciful, taking pity on this servant, thus lightly brushed over. This servant is deeply grateful, but wangye’s words can’t be more correct. In the future, wangfei will stand in an even higher position. That position requires you to bring out supreme might in order to have the people below intimidated. This servant just asks for death, and in the next life, come serve wangfei again. When time comes, this servant won’t make such a stupid mistake again. Asking wangfei to please sentence this servant to death.”
Qing Ju’s words were already overstepping. No servant would dare to be this presumptuous, but no one would go argue over this at this time.
Jing Wan closed her eyes and didn’t speak, her body lightly trembling a little.
Li Hong Yuan couldn’t bear to see her like this. Gong mama and the others also couldn’t bear. In reality, being soft also wasn’t anything major. They can come be the evil one, helping her establish her authority. There was no need to force her to go change. And in reality, compared to the past, she’d already changed somewhat. At least, the range of her softness has already reduced.
However, after going through the previous matter, Li Hong Yuan had things that he needed to go do. He still hoped that his wife can be independent. However, thinking it over, when not having him to rely on, his wife seemingly was still able to handle things very well. That’s why, he was actually the root of her ‘softness’? This realization made the living Enma both happy and unhappy.
One’s own wife relying on oneself, as a man, this ego can probably be greatly satisfied. This was also something Li Hong Yuan strived for in this lifetime——-holding up a piece of the sky for her, shielding her, promising her a life without worries. But, Jing Wan’s situation was just, she clearly can be independent, yet he got in her way, blocking her radiance. Tsk……..
He wanted to have her raised to the highest position, and initially, it was somewhat like making her into a mascot. He just wanted to give her the best, letting her be well, but as his understanding towards her increased, merely just this was actually just wasting her talents. And in her heart, she also wasn’t willing to be a ‘flower vase’.
In comparison, other people just had her viewed as his vassal, but he actually further liked, regardless whether it was the people of the world, or the history books, to have them tightly linked together.
