Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 100.1: Silenced, Jing Wan’s Mischief

T/N: Finally reached chapter 100 lol, we’re just 1/6 of the way through this novel, well technically probably less than 1/6 because the later chapters are all pretty long.

When they came out, they actually didn’t run into Li Ru Yu or Luo Jing Ying. The former, even if unsatisfied with Jing Wan lying, further feared Li Hong Yuan, so naturally she would take the opportunity to slip away. And the latter, having directly been slapped into a pig head, had long lost the face to meet people. She’d only been able to escape by selling out Jing Wan, and thus didn’t suffer even more torture. However, Li Ru Yu still forcibly left her by her side. Luo Jing Ying didn’t dare to run, but while Li Ru Yu was too busy to pay attention to her, she managed to slip away, don’t know where she’s at by now. Perhaps, she left the Grand Elder Princess Manor on her own and returned to the Luo Manor.

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder Princess let someone take Sun Yi Jia and Luo Jing Bo to go properly wash up. Particularly Sun Yi Jia’s side, not only the Ding Duchess and her servants were present, the Grand Elder Princess had also sent more helpers. Fortunately, someone of Sun Yi Jia’s status going out, for the most part, would all prepare two sets of clothes for changing, and moreover, if possible, carry the same style and color. This while, they only need to have the clothes brought over and change out of the not very fitting clothes on her.

This time, Jing Wan voluntarily followed by Sun Yi Jia’s side. Although the final outcome wasn’t bad, she still made her suffer in the end, and this more or less all had some of Jing Wan’s responsibility, so she felt rather guilty.

Jing Wan wanting to stay behind, Luo Old Madam and the Grand Elder Princess naturally didn’t have any objections. And even if the Ding Duchess harbored many complicated feelings towards Jing Wan, this while, it wasn’t good for her to say anything. Besides, this was the person that’s about to become her daughter’s little sister-in-law. All say the mother-in-law is difficult to please, and the sister-in-law difficult to deal with. This young miss although wasn’t a troublesome one, but for the sake of her own daughter, it’s still best that she cater to her a little. Thus, the Ding Duchess acted warm and friendly towards Jing Wan.

And on Luo Jing Bo’s side, Sun Yi Lin also followed after him. The big brother-in-law ‘making trouble’ for the younger sister’s husband and whatnot practically couldn’t be more common. Because the previous ‘soon-to-be younger sister’s husband’ had too high of a status, and his temper was also too hard to handle, even if he was extremely discontent with him, he still could only pinch his nose and not make a sound.

However, because there was the former one as comparison, this one right now truly can be considered perfect. In addition, Sun Yi Lin wasn’t someone that liked messing with others, so towards Luo Jing Bo, he at most only gave a few words of advice, even slightly overboard words, he all didn’t know how to say.

Once the unrelated people all left, the Grand Elder Princess arrested all the servants that knew about this matter, and in addition, sent people to go search for the missing Zhong Qinwang’s heir. At the same time, she also began interrogating on this side. The first was the little servant girl that came out from the small courtyard by the lake and lied about a male guest being there, having Sun Yi Jia tricked away.

In the beginning the little servant girl still stammered, unable to say anything substantial, but under the Grand Elder Princess’s torture, she finally confessed that she’d received benefits from Zhong Qinwang’s heir, looking for a chance to have Sun Yi Jia tricked over, while Zhong Qinwang’s heir hid nearby and waited for an opportunity to act.

If what she said was true, then right now, the most important thing was finding Zhong Qinwang’s heir.

Speaking of which, Zhong Qinwang’s heir was indeed a fat-headed, big-eared, ‘big fat pig’. However, he didn’t have Li Hong Yuan’s life, yet had Li Hong Yuan’s illness. Frivolous and lustful by nature, even fantasizing of raising a villa of beauties like Li Hong Yuan, providing him with amusement day and night. But, setting aside his identity and status, for better or worse, he was still a qinwang’s heir after all, so even if he couldn’t compare to a qinwang, he still wasn’t that far off, but their conditions in itself were just two extremes. Women all rush to avoid him, and even those brothel girls all disdain him. He also wasn’t as daring as Li Hong Yuan, daring to casually stretch his arms out. The ones that suffered were naturally the servant girls at his side. When the pool to choose from is smaller, then the appearance naturally gets greatly deducted, light years away from reaching his great vision. Afraid in this lifetime, he all won’t have the chance to realize this dream.

Such a person actually once fantasized through all the noble young ladies in the capital, especially Sun Yi Jia and Ruan Fang Fei. But he only just thought about them, and at most, after getting drunk with a bunch of good-for-nothing friends, say some vulgar and unsightly words. Everyone all knew this side of him, and Zhong Qinwang also didn’t sort him out any less, but he was just one with crooked roots by nature, so things were just left as is.

Regardless of how much Zhong Qinwang’s heir boasted, in reality, his guts weren’t very big. Just unexpectedly, this time, he actually was outrageously bold in his lust, daring to stretch his hands out after Sun Yi Jia became Li Hong Yuan’s soon-to-be wangfei. Touching the living Enma’s woman, could it be that he really ate a bear’s heart, a leopard’s guts? One has to know, whenever he saw Li Hong Yuan, he definitely belonged to the ‘mouse seeing a cat’ kind.

Never mind Zhong Qinwang, even the Grand Elder Princess believed that he most likely got incited by someone else, or perhaps was being blackmailed.

Originally, they all thought that finding Zhong Qinwang’s heir was a very simple matter, but the reality wasn’t like so. He’d ran after Sun Yi Jia fell into the water. The guards at the gates have already been asked, no one saw him leave. Then, he certainly must still be in the Grand Elder Princess Manor. Such a big living person, don’t need to look at anything else, just that build, one only needs a glance from far away to recognize him. This was also why Luo Jing Bo was previously able to recognize him immediately. That body type, in the entire capital, unable to find a second one.

But now, even the back manor has been searched, yet not a single trace.

The Grand Elder Princess and Zhong Qinwang practically produced a bad premonition at the same time.

“Continue searching, don’t leave out any place, wait…..” Since the incident, no one has seen Zhong Qinwang’s heir. It was still that line, anyone can be overlooked, but it was impossible to overlook him. “Have all the flower bushes and fake mountains surrounding the residences and courtyards facing the water searched one by one. If still can’t find the person, then go search in the water.”

This time, even Zhong Wangfei came to realization, her entire person all somewhat dumbstruck. One has to know, the previous matter, although she didn’t say anything, on the inside, she was actually very unconcerned. For her son to be able to fancy Sun Yi Jia, that disfigured beauty, was Sun Yi Jia’s good fortune. Moreover, in the end, didn’t he not succeed? And Jin Qinwang also got his wish, having Sun Yi Jia dumped. Everything was to everyone’s delight and satisfaction, yet still need to investigate. What’s there to investigate? But now, her son might be gone?

Zhong Wangfei opened her mouth and started bawling, turning into a shrew from a ‘wealthy-looking’ noble woman in seconds.

“Shut up!” Zhong Qinwang’s brows were tightly locked. During the previous emperor’s time, he was an unfavored prince, surviving by attaching himself onto the current emperor, who was then still a prince. This wangfei was originally just a merchant family’s daughter. Their family didn’t have much of anything else other than money. His imperial brother needed money, so he as the younger brother was put to use, taking the merchant family’s daughter as his wife. However, in order for it to look a bit better on the surface, prior to marrying, they had let the merchant family become an official’s family. But this inherently is unable to change this woman’s vulgarness, lack of culture, unscrupulous mannerism, and that body full of money stench.

Fortunately, after Le Cheng Emperor ascended the throne, he greatly compensated him. His two side consorts were also both beautiful and well educated, letting him go from a pitiful little bug into a qinwang both in name and in reality, even having his bestowed title changed into ‘Zhong’ (loyal). Compared to his other brothers that were originally much stronger than him, he was much more comfortably well off. The only imperfection in all this was that his wangfei couldn’t be changed. After all, Zhong Wangfei’s maiden family, in order to support his Majesty, nearly used up their entire family fortune.

After his di son was born, Le Cheng Emperor directly had him conferred as the heir. Afterwards, no matter how much he disliked this son, his son’s position was unable to be shaken. His wangfei also relied on this bit, not angering him any less, and frequently threw tantrums.

Originally, after this many years, this wangfei of his has become slightly presentable, just needing to properly sit there, talking as little as possible. Those that didn’t know would still praise her for being worthy of a wangfei title, being this dignified and composed.

But unfortunately, once the chatterbox opened, she’ll inevitably be exposed, letting him lose all his face. At present, with something bad happening to her son, how can one still count on her being ‘normal’? After getting yelled at by Zhong Qinwang, she immediately dropped to the ground and began throwing a tantrum. “My son, my son, you died so miserably, Emperor, you must seek justice for me ahh…………”

Even if the Grand Elder Princess was aware of Zhong Wangfei’s personality, she was still dumbstruck by this scene of hers. Afterwards, her face darkened even more, “Someone, have her mouth stuffed for this princess.”

This place although was still far enough from the ‘banquet’, but with just this loud voice of hers, it was more likely than not for the other side to hear.

Two servant girls went forward, yet still were unable to get her under control. The Grand Elder Princess’s face was awfully dark. Completely ignoring Zhong Qinwang, she directly called over two guards that were searching. They grabbed Zhong Wangfei’s arms and directly pressed her onto the ground.

T/N: I really love the Grand Elder Princess, but she’s very much someone from the imperial family.
