Jing Wan didn’t really understand this kind of mentality. Exactly was it believing that this was the only path, or carrying certain obsessions? In reality, Jing Wan felt that this kind of person was actually quite scary. Moreover, if from a wealthy family, it was still okay, but if the family is just normal, then it was just the person that should’ve been the backbone, yet completely buried in a piles of books, not doing anything productive, having all the heavy burdens pushed onto their family. Although if passing, it indeed can bring their family quite a bit of benefits, but if never able to pass?
However, to be able to persevere to such an old age, presumably shouldn’t be considered too terrible. However, there was one thing that was certain, the family certainly won’t be very harmonious.
“Ah Yuan, do you have an impression? Was the Eye of Notice in your past life also him?”
“The same person, so have a bit of impression.” Li Hong Yuan lazily propped up his chin with one hand, slightly leaning on his side, “Nothing more than a stubbornly pedantic fellow, studying just for the sake of fame and fortune, all year round, just knowing to blindly study. The body has long worn down. To have been able to last until the end of the court exam, even peaking in performance, it’s more or less like the dying flash of a person on the deathbed. After becoming the Eye of Notice, under great joy, the life more or less have also come to an end. During the street parade, he directly fell from the horse, the life gone in a breath. If I have to say, for him to have been able to get picked as the Eye of Notice, his luck occupied a very large portion of it. Most likely, he just happened to encounter an exam question that he’d previously seen, the kind where he even had put in great effort. It’s probably the same case for the metropolitan exam.”
Jing Wan was speechless. What was this? The luck finally erupting for once, yet in the end, it was having an entire lifetime worth of luck drained away. Don’t know how his family will feel hearing the news. Clearly, the opportunity to rise high was placed before the eyes, yet he lacked the fortune. He himself as well as his family were all as such.
This was the dark horse, becoming a sick horse, and then becoming a dead horse!
“Let’s go out in a bit and bring along Gong Jiu.”
“As you please, but this person afraid is already at the end of a burning candle. Moreover, the street parade route is that long, who knows which segment the mishap will occur. Even if coincidentally saving, there is also no future prospects to speak of. This kind of person, having yearned all his life, even if really knowing that he’s unwell, it’s still impossible to give up.”
“I know, just, doing what can be done, awaiting the heaven’s fate.” Jing Wan smiled. It was merely just coincidentally learning. Her sense of pity perhaps wasn’t as heavy as before, but in the end, it wasn’t possible to just completely change in nature, disregarding human life.
If it was someone from her enemy’s side, then she certainly would ignore to the end.
Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan more or less went out right on the dot.
If the living Enma wants to find a place to rest, regardless whether or not the good places have already gotten booked by others, as long as the people below flash the Jin Qinwang Manor plaque, the tactful ones all will have to yield their place, even needing to feel honored, not having the slightest complaint.
In the restaurant in the best position, in the private room with the best view, several young ladies from esteemed noble families, along with their ‘protectors’, at this time, all deferentially stood at the doorway, “Greetings to Jin Qinwang and wangfei.”
Li Hong Yuan walked in with a cold expression, his gaze fixed in front.
Jing Wan sat down along with Li Hong Yuan, saying with a smile, “You’re all excused. Speaking of which, it’s the two of us that stole your place. Seeing that this place is quite spacious, if you all want to stay, you can also stay.”
The party of nearly ten people, not even counting their servants, were already prepared to leave, yet unexpectedly, Jin Wangfei was this easy-going. Moreover, ‘stealing’ and whatnot, if the living Enma wanted, others can only offer up with both hands, no? “Wangfei is too serious.”
“The truth is as such, you all also don’t need to be this reserved. ———Mama, let the shopkeeper have someone rearrange the place.” Jing Wan could also tell, these people actually didn’t want to leave, especially the young ladies. When they came in, they were already carrying a bit of resentment, and after she allowed them to stay, their eyes all lit up.

Things were also indeed as Jing Wan imagined. After all, they came with a purpose. One has to know, their status wasn’t that most esteemed bunch. To have been able to book this place, it truly wasn’t easy, probably even offending some. For them to be unwilling, it couldn’t be more normal. This while, they mutually communicated with their eyes, especially one of the young ladies, her desire to stay seemingly particularly strong. The one getting pleaded by her pitiful gaze was probably her older brother.
The few men ultimately were at their wit’s end. Although towards staying in the same place as the living Enma, the mental pressure was exceptionally heavy, in the end, they still couldn’t bear to refuse their own sisters. Moreover, the place was already rearranged. Jin Qinwang got dragged away by Jin Wangfei, the table moving to the side. Another table was then brought in, even adding more chairs. To just leave like this, it seemingly would appear rude.
“In that case, will be bothering wangye and wangfei.”
Jing Wan waved her hand, “You all can do as you please.” She then turned her head to console a certain someone that clearly because of this bunch was a bit unhappy.
The imperial family have always had special privileges. It was just letting others yield the place, merely a trivial matter. Just, Jing Wan felt that there was no need to be that aggressive. Besides, it was her that suddenly wanted to come, and previously didn’t book a place, so she more or less was a bit apologetic inside. Of course, if her husband’s current status was even nobler, then she certainly would without a second word let someone clear out the place.
Jing Wan softly spoke with Li Hong Yuan, sweetly smiling, the side of her face appearing gentle and wonderful, making one somewhat unable to shift one’s eyes.
The living Enma that originally listened to his wife on all things really was angered, just detecting a certain line of sight and looking over, seeing a certain man blankly staring at his wife. His gaze really was directly turning into death rays.
Chilling and full of killing intent, even if really in a daze, one probably can still return to normal, let alone someone that was just a bit absentminded.
That was also an elegant and handsome young master, yet at this time, frantically and quickly averted his eyes, his forehead instantly drenched with cold sweat, his heart madly beating, and also like as if his throat got tightly gripped by someone, nearly suffocating.
The people the to side originally didn’t notice, but with such a big reaction, they naturally showed their concern.
“Nothing, nothing…..you all quiet down a little, don’t disturb wangye and wangfei.” He forcibly tugged the corner of his mouth. Can he say that it was because he was in a daze staring at Jin Wangfei and got discovered by Jin Qinwang, afterwards getting…………In this moment, he really experienced firsthand, perhaps eyes really can kill. Jin Qinwang’s gaze truly was too scary. Just now, he really felt that he’d almost died, hating that he can’t slap himself, who told you to wantonly stare.
The handsome young master did his best to compose himself, but without results. His body instead somewhat uncontrollably trembled, his heart nervous and fearful. He kept feeling that Jin Qinwang’s gaze was still on him, yet he didn’t dare to look to confirm.
Precisely at this time, a clamor sounded outside. Just, this clamor was different from the usual lively cheers. One seemingly can faintly hear, something something Eyes of Notice fell from the horse on the previous street, the person unconscious, and so on.
When Jing Wan heard…….Because of Ah Yuan’s rebirth, many things changed, but somethings still didn’t change. “Gong Jiu, quickly go have a look.”
Gong Jiu went quickly and also returned quite quickly, “Wangye, wangfei, the person is already gone.”
Jing Wan sighed. This life, really……….
“For such a thing to occur, don’t know whether or not the street parade will still continue?”
