“However, seeing you that painstakingly want to try to please this husband, towards the matter of you actually not caring that much, this husband will magnanimously overlook.” Perhaps because the sensation was too good, he couldn’t help but pinch again, “See, to want to deceive this husband, still need to practice some more. However, if one day Wan Wan is able to deceive this husband, then believe that under the heavens, there won’t be anyone Wan Wan can’t deceive. Work hard, this husband is optimistic towards you.”
Jing Wan this time really became gloomy, “What are you saying?” She pinched Li Hong Yuan’s waist. Unfortunately, never mind being separated by a layer of clothes, but also because the meat was too hard, she was simply unable to pinch. Alright, Jing Wan also knew, because her mentality was different, and because she simply never thought of actually deceiving him, thus her ‘acting’ was sloppy, and naturally unconvincing.
Li Hong Yuan smiled, not continuing to cling onto this matter, “In a few days, let’s go stay at the outer estate for a period of time, staying until no longer wanting to stay before coming back.”
Speaking of the estate, Jing Wan suddenly recalled something that had been forgotten, “The horse racing tracks is already finished?”
“Finally recalling now? It has long been built. Additionally, the rare beast park is also ready. Compared to these in the manor, those are all fully grown, and not limited to land animals. There’s also ones that can fly and ones in the water, the amount not few.”
Jing Wan stared at Li Hong Yuan, and after confirming that he wasn’t joking, she held back the urge to facepalm. This man is really just………every time always going to the extreme. Based on his explanation, this wasn’t just a zoo that simple. In the present era, building such a ‘park’, the enormous resource consumption was definitely beyond imagination. Jing Wan felt that even Le Cheng Emperor that was all kinds of indulgent towards him, after learning about this matter, afraid will all scold him for being extravagant. And those court officials that turn a blind eye to him and take on a laissez-faire attitude will probably even want to submit a memorandum against him. “Can’t you take it easy a little?”
“Take it easy? What’s that?”
Jing Wan once again lost to this willful and overbearing to no end man.
However, since it was already built, one can’t just have it torn down, right? Because that would genuinely be wasting natural resources recklessly, a truly unforgivable kind of shameful wasting. “Fine, since it’s already built, to not go have a look and play around would truly be a pity.”
In any case, having been led by a certain someone to live extravagantly, there was no point in thinking about the ‘poor days’.
There was still some time before the sun approached the west mountains. Jing Wan pulled along Li Hong Yuan, preparing to go rest again. During the banquet, she’d gotten drunk after all, and although her spirit was pretty good, her body nevertheless somewhat faintly rejected.
Halfway back to the main courtyard, a message came from the front, He Shi Hai, little General He, came to visit with a present, congratulating wangfei’s birthday.
Today’s banquet naturally also had the He family’s share, but He Shi Hai wasn’t present. Prior to this, no one had heard news of him returning to the capital. That’s why, this was immediately visiting upon returning?
Li Hong Yuan watched Jing Wan turn around, “Want to go meet him?”
“Wangye doesn’t want to let me meet?” Jing Wan lightly smiled, “If wangye doesn’t let, then won’t meet.”
Li Hong Yuan clicked his tongue. He was actually quite fine with Jing Wan meeting He Shi Hai. That brat absolutely won’t produce thoughts towards Wan Wan.
He Shi Hai was travel-worn, bringing along a few soldiers. From the looks of it, he’d yet to return to the He family, instead coming to Jin Qinwang Manor first.

He Shi Hai right now although had an official post, his old man still didn’t formally give him any authority to lead soldiers. The various tribes of Zhennu Mountain already got beaten crippled this time. As such, He Zhen Wei also submitted a memorandum requesting to return to the capital. He Shi Hai, for the time being, wasn’t bounded by any restrictions, thus was able to return rather quickly without anyone knowing.
He Shi Hai appeared to be no different from when he’d left the capital. After all, counting the days, it has only been two months, so can’t change that much. Just, the people that come in contact with him before and after will just keenly discover his differences. This kind of change was on the inside, and normally, perhaps wasn’t prominent. However, once on the battlefield, he will just gradually evolve into a war god.
This was what Li Hong Yuan wanted. As such, towards this kind of change in He Shi Hai, he was naturally satisfied.
After greeting, He Shi Hai casually pulled out the present prepared for Jing Wan. In an iron cage, a snow white fox. Regardless whether it was the outer appearance or odor, it all proved that this fox was a perfume fox, its size also similar to the one that Li Hong Yuan gave Jing Wan.
He Shi Hai actually didn’t know about Jing Wan’s birthday. Just, this was indeed a present for Jing Wan. As Jin Qinwang’s fanboy, he didn’t know what to get for Li Hong Yuan. Inadvertently obtaining this perfume fox, he just decided to indirectly curry favor with Jin Wangfei. They were husband and wife after all, so currying favor with whichever one was all the same. On this bit, He Shi Hai can be considered to have hit the target by a stroke of luck. After all, the amount of couples that weren’t as one actually far surpassed those that were.
Just, this perfume fox seemingly appeared to be not that well.
He Shi Hai had the cage placed on the table, scratching his head, “It was a bit of a rush a long the way, so seemingly not too well, but shouldn’t be a big deal, right?” He said with uncertainty. “These things are just too delicate.”
The corner of Jing Wan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. How was this a little tyrant, clearly a careless idiot.
As one would ask, who would have a ‘sickly looking’ animal given out as a present, especially when the other party’s status was even much higher than one’s own. This wasn’t giving a present; this was a curse, alright! Switched with someone else, nine out of ten will feel that you harbor malicious intentions, completely heartless, and perhaps will want to kill you in seconds. How big was this little tyrant He’s heart, for him to have this sent before the living Enma?
Li Hong Yuan’s complexion, sure enough, was a bit dark, especially since this was something for his wife.
Jing Wan covered the corners of her mouth, hurriedly ordering someone to call the person that specifically took care of the perfume fox over to take a look at this little guy’s situation, hoping that it’s fine, or else He Shi Hai will certainly suffer.
The person came very quickly, and after carefully inspecting, there wasn’t any big problems and will be fine after raising for a period of time. According to this person that raised foxes, perfume foxes’ vitality is much stronger than what people imagine.
Jing Wan inwardly relaxed——–this lucky idiot!
Li Hong Yuan’s expression also relaxed, but it didn’t mean that this matter was completely settled. Standing up, “To the training grounds, this prince will test whether your martial arts have improved or not.”
Saying it this grandly still can’t change the fact that he wanted to sort out He Shi Hai.
However, He Shi Hai was immediately worked up, awfully excited. His entire person was like as if he was burning.
Jing Wan’s face was blank———Sure enough, a careless idiot!
Jing Wan slowly got up. Although she knew that he really didn’t have any malicious intentions, she still didn’t mind Ah Yuan having him sorted out.
Jing Wan returned to the main courtyard and comfortably fell asleep.
As for the battle between the living Enma and the little tyrant He, it was quite brilliant and also quite refreshing. Even if little tyrant He still similarly got suppressed, Li Hong Yuan’s pressure against him, compared to the beginning, already weakened by a lot.
And He Shi Hai’s improvement in this aspect, only Li Hong Yuan was the most clear. Prior to him leaving the capital and heading to the northeast border town to participate in the battle, it still wasn’t this obvious. Can only say, his improvement actually came from an even stronger heart.
Even if collapsed on the ground, unable to move, He Shi Hai was still extremely excited. However, he still got thrown out under Li Hong Yuan’s order. Having gotten used to getting tossed, He Shi Hai also didn’t feel anything. Since he didn’t want to get up, he just ordered his guards to have him lifted back.
Getting lifted back to the He family, the people of the He family all got terribly startled, having the pleasant surprise of returning early all obliterated in an instant.
“What happened? Did something happen on the way back?”
The guards hurriedly denied, and afterwards, quickly had the matter explained clearly.
After hearing, He Old Madam and Madam He had the same expression. They both didn’t say anything, first having this bastard thing beaten up again. Look at what all this bastard did. This kind of person, getting beaten to death was all deservedly so.
When He Shi Hai fought Li Hong Yuan, whether it was excitement or even more excitement, he all didn’t cry out a single word. But now, getting beaten by his mother and grandmother, he just loudly clamored, despite the pain from the former far surpassed the latter.
On the other side, Jing Wan was fully refreshed from her nap. After getting up, she was currently applying medicine for Li Hong Yuan.
In the past when sparring with He Shi Hai, he would always get injured from time to time. Although aside from the first time, it all wasn’t obvious injuries. But the bruises this time were particularly numerous.
Jing Wan didn’t say anything, using the medicine to have the bruises on him massaged out little by little. In the end, “In the future, can you not fight?” Although he didn’t even bat an eye, Jing Wan still heartached.
“Okay.” Li Hong Yuan agreed rather straightforwardly.
Jing Wan was slightly dumbstruck. It wasn’t her first time saying these words, but the answer she received in the past wasn’t like this.
Li Hong Yuan didn’t need to look to know her reaction, “Already achieved one’s goal, so there’s no need anymore.”
