However, Eunuch Mu was nevertheless even more composed than Jing Wan, in fact, not even feeling anything was wrong in the slightest. “It’s still the four of them that have good fortune, having wangfei handling things for them.”
Sure enough, it was having such master, there will inevitably be such servants? The influence of the living Enma’s way of thinking towards the people below can be said to be far-reaching.
Previously, Jing Wan actually already met with their future husbands. One gardener, three bodyguards, it really was a bit surprising. However, through simple understanding, these people were still pretty good in all aspects. In addition to all working for the manor, there really weren’t anything to feel uneasy about.
Just, she merely moved her mouth, so where did this ‘handling things’ come from? To just spout flattery like this, really is worthy of being the living Enma’s number one lackey?
“Enough, don’t be slick with your mouth here, quickly go handle the matter.”
“Yes, yes, yes, this servant will go right away.” Eunuch Mu appeared increasingly flattering.
But this kind of flattering of his actually didn’t make one dislike.
Because this matter simply wasn’t concealed, the matter of Li Hong Yuan’s four personal servant girls getting married off altogether by Jing Wan, just like a burst of wind, shattered the tranquil surface of the lake again.
Naturally it was a multitude of rumors and opinions again, and more than ninety percent all weren’t pleasant words. The rest believed that Jing Wan doing this was understandable, but in the end, was just young and impulsive, acting with undue haste, making people inevitably feel that she’d lost her rationality, having done something stupid. Originally, she seemed to be a very imposing, and very steady girl with propriety.
Jin Qinwang will be going to Jiangnan to handle an assignment. At this time, hastily marrying of his personal servants, although prevented him from taking beauties with him, but in the end, the harm was greater than the benefit. Handling it this carelessly, letting the marrying servant girls harbor complaint inside, and if they have feelings for Jin Qinwang, they will further resent. And the people taking them as their wife, getting forced to accept their master’s broken shoe, it would be strange for them to feel happy inside. Each and every one all feeling discontent towards the female master, in the future, when managing the qinwang manor, various incidences will certainly arise. And on Jiangnan’s side, the beauties were also varied and many, to not take along a single one, perhaps can bring back a bunch. Taking along one or two, letting them guard a little, perhaps can even bring a few less back.
Those that worried for her, yet don’t know the inside information, naturally just became somewhat anxious and angry immediately after. Including the Grand Elder Princess, hating that she can’t have Jing Wan dragged over, and properly reprimand.
Regardless of how it was outside, in any case, Jin Qinwang Manor was excitedly preparing. The things used were even better than what quite a few ordinary official families’ used for marriages, making quite a few servants in the manor all endlessly covet. Even if feeling that this was compensation made because wangfei was feeling guilty, it still couldn’t reduce the jealousy in their hearts.
The four grooms more or less all had family present, and getting openly praised, but secretly mocked by others, forget how annoyed they felt. Despite their own child vowing that the person they will marry was absolutely a virgin, further not having the slightest relationship with wangye, the stuffy feeling inside was still hard to disperse, in the end, getting repeatedly urged that happily receiving their master’s good things was the most important. Afterwards, looking again to see both sides all having generous bestowments, they also felt a lot more self-confident.
Regardless of what kind of rumors and slander were floating around inside and outside the manor, towards Jing Wan, there weren’t any influences. In fact, she even let someone have those words relayed to her as a source of entertainment.
This was just the start. If really getting affected this easily, what ‘staying a pair for a lifetime’ was there to still speak of?
Jing Wan didn’t respond to her zhoulis’ invitation, instead inviting them all.
When the wangfeis saw Jing Wan still rosy in complexion, brimming with smiles, they truly didn’t know what they should say.

One has to know, this time wasn’t as simple as giving them female entertainers like last time. That time, she could still somewhat manage to find an excuse, but this time, it was difficult to dispute even with a hundred mouths.
Having done such a thing, yet still able to not have the slightest peculiarity, confidently meeting people, not scared of people criticizing, really makes one………….envy and hate. They rather want to directly sort out their husband’s tongfang servant girls too, but unfortunately, they can’t. Even now, they can’t, let alone in the early days of their marriage. Gong Wangfei, because of her father, was arrogant enough, yet still didn’t dare to do this kind of thing. All say she was stupid, but unfortunately, they didn’t even have the courage to be stupid.
Because they all knew what one another’s purpose was, they all thought of ways to privately talk with Jing Wan, while also blocking the others. With each and every one all thinking this, the outcome it led to was just not a single one being left alone, and in the end, had no choice but to admit, they won’t be able to achieve their goals today, inwardly cursing Jing Wan’s slyness. And since they were unhappy, they naturally won’t let her be happy.
Gong Wangfei’s grudge with Jing Wan was the deepest, but after repeatedly getting warned to not provoke Jing Wan, the suffocating resentment inside encountering this kind of ‘craving to say something’ situation, she naturally had the loosest lips, saying with a fake smile that Jing Wan truly ‘did it beautifully’.
Jing Wan expression didn’t change, “Still can’t compare with fourth sister-in-law. At least, I didn’t make the person thoroughly disappear, no?”
Gong Wangfei’s complexion turned green, then white. The vixens that got beaten to death by her weren’t considered few. In this aspect, she really didn’t have the right to criticize others.
Towards that mouth of Jing Wan’s, they actually all somewhat have an understanding of. You say she’s sharp-tongued, but this actually wasn’t the case. Just, when everyone’s going around in circles, she just had to be like a fool that didn’t understand anything at all, terrifyingly blunt, having sarcastic remarks treated as direct words. And when speaking straightforwardly, she can give you nine twists and eighteen turns, saying many ‘misinterpretations’ that you would’ve never thought of. Yet, it was all plausible, so telling outsiders, you can’t even deny even if you wanted to.
This kind of person, would she really do such an obviously stupid thing? At present, they had no choice but to carefully ponder over this question.
How they came was exactly how they left.
Jing Wan shut the gates and didn’t go out, happily packing her things.
Those that were able to make her come out on her own with just one line were also just those countable few, but at this time, all didn’t look for Jing Wan, seemingly all tacitly wanting to wait until after Jin Qinwang leaves. Actually, Noble Consort Su rather want to meet her for the sake of her own son, letting Jing Wan deliver word to her foster son, but considering Le Cheng Emperor’s side, she in the end didn’t do this. After all, even if she says it’s just because of the matters of her son’s inner manor, no one would believe. Overly interfering and thoroughly losing his Majesty’s heart would be troublesome.
This was Jin Qinwang’s first time handling an assignment, and first time leaving the capital for an assignment, so the people seeing him off really was quite a sight. Just, seeing that huge volume of luggage of Jin Qinwang’s, they were collectively left speechless. This is preparing to settle down in Jiangnan and not come back, or what? You, as grown man, was it necessary to be meticulous to this ridiculous degree? His Majesty already said eating, drinking, playing, do as you please, yet still worried that when arriving on the other side, it’ll be uncomfortable for you?
These things naturally weren’t Li Hong Yuan’s. Over ninety percent were for Jing Wan, but one really didn’t wrongly accuse him either. According to Jing Wan’s idea, just randomly bring a little, and then bring enough money. Jiangnan was a rich and abundant place, so what didn’t they have? If not for the sake of maintaining the qinwang manor’s dignity, she even wanted to just bring money.
As a result, Li Hong Yuan hardened his expression, overruling!
For a man that constantly wants to have the best things pushed onto his wife, those things, he really didn’t take a fancy to, and even if there’s something he takes a fancy to, when time comes, just buy it.
Jing Wan was extremely speechless, but towards this kind of trivial matter, once he becomes stubborn, in the end, it was also just her compromising.
Also, on this matter, the people serving by her side also unanimously stood on wangye’s side. She was just all alone on her own.
Even if reaching the final send off place, they didn’t see Jing Wan come down from the carriage either, all thinking, Jin Wangfei really is having ‘deep feelings’ towards Jin Qinwang. It wasn’t good for them to urge, so naturally just targeted Luo Pei Shan, this grandfather. Unfortunately, this old fox just stroked his beard, calm and composed, not saying a single word.
