Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (2)

A bunch of beautiful servant girls looked to one another in dismay, but since wangfei has ordered, they had no choice but to comply.
An ancient fashion show, en, although not exactly proper, but to slightly treat as a pastime was still doable.
Walking circle after circle, if Jing Wan doesn’t say to stop, then they can only harden their heads and continue walking. The seventh month’s weather, it was directly being exposed under the sun. Living in Jin Qinwang Manor, although as servants, these people for the most part all didn’t do any rough labor, their skin tender and delicate, so if exposed for too long, it will just feel somewhat burningly uncomfortable. And if they continue staying under the sun, then nine times out of ten, they will have to shed a layer of skin.
This while, they finally knew, wangfei sure enough was easily jealous, using such a malicious method to punish them.
Jing Wan watched their gradually changing expression, but on the surface, no one was able to tell what she was thinking, “To not receive a name, yet still want to climb onto the male master’s bed, what for? For the servants of Jin Qinwang Manor, the monthly salary should be the highest in the entire capital, and the reward money during the holidays throughout the year added together, compared to ordinary families, don’t know how many times better. Have to say, if climbing the bed, one is able to obtain a title, becoming half a master, then it would still make sense, but in Jin Qinwang Manor, this clearly won’t happen, just getting slept with in vain, at most able to earn a bit of money………….”
“Wangfei, even if without a name, can still attempt for a child. If able to get pregnant, the mother relying on the child to rise in honor, then even if not having a name, so what? A child that carries wangye’s blood can just pull up an entire family. Even if one is still of the slave class in status, in many people’s eyes, they are actually also a master. As the saying goes, the one guarding the prime minister’s door is a seventh rank official. It’s more or less the same reasoning.”
Upon hearing, Jing Wan laughed, just there wasn’t a shadow of a smile in her eyes. “These people…………”
Before Jing Wan could even finish speaking, she just saw a servant girl kneel down directly in front of her, “Wangfei, we servants recognize our mistake, so begging you to please have mercy. The sun is this poisonous, to continue like this, afraid, afraid…………Wangfei, begging you to please have mercy………” As she said this, she loudly kowtowed, a bloody print appearing on her forehead.
Jing Wan lifted her brow. If you want to kowtow, then so be it, but to deliberately pull down the collar and extend the neck, what’s with this? Also, that look of about to faint, yet still ‘persevering strongly’, both unyielding and weak, the forehead and neck forming a relatively vivid contrast, truly like a tortured beauty.
“Wangfei, wangye has come.”
The servant girl serving by her side called to her attention. Jing Wan looked over, and sure enough, that peerlessly handsome man was striding over. Just as she thought, no wonder someone suddenly acted out as such. This was trying to frame her in front of a certain someone. Tsk…………
Jing Wan this while was a bit angry inside, simply not wanting to get up.
Li Hong Yuan directly walked over, sitting by her side. His understanding towards Jing Wan, although not a hundred percent, it was still at least seventy to eighty percent. Moreover, Jing Wan right now simply didn’t cover up at all. Although she was smiling, it was just smiling on the surface, so how could Li Hong Yuan still not know that right now she was actually not that happy inside. Holding her hand, “It’s already past the time, how come still not going back? It’s hot outside.”
“Wangye has finished the matters at hand?”
“En, already finished.”
“Then perfect, have a look, these people all admire wangye, wishing to become wangye’s bed-warming servant girl. Aren’t I pregnant now, so they even have the glorified excuse of helping me share the burdens and resolve the troubles. What kind does wangye like, outsiders certainly won’t be more clear than you. If there’s any you fancy, just directly take back. Even if unable to give a name, I can still arrange a few tables for her.”
This peculiar appearance of hers, it really was Li Hong Yuan’s first time seeing, his line of sight sweeping across her stomach. Sure enough it was because of the pregnancy, that’s why her temper became strange? If switch with normally, Li Hong Yuan would want to ruthlessly ‘sort out’ Jing Wan, letting her know, things can’t be carelessly eaten, and words further can’t be carelessly said.

Reaching out, he gently had Jing Wan taken into his arms, leaning by her ear, “What kind this husband likes, shouldn’t Wan Wan be more clear than anyone? How much Wan Wan owes this husband, this husband all remembers. Once you give birth to the little bastard, this husband will definitely settle the accounts with interest.”
Jing Wan bluntly rolled her eyes at him.
Li Hong Yuan used the tip of his nose to rub against her cheeks, “Wan Wan originally just need to think of this husband, but because of this little bastard, Wan Wan has already neglected this husband a lot. Could it be that now, even want to because of unrelated people be angry with this husband? En?”
Li Hong Yuan at the end directly stretched out a seducing ending tone, deep and sexy, his warm breath also spraying in her ear. In an instant, Jing Wan’s body just went limp.
The summer was blistering hot already, in addition to pregnant women’s body temperature being on the higher side to begin with, right now, she just felt even hotter, her body seemingly drenched in fine sweat from head to toe.
Bastard, understanding that many things, don’t know that in the first three months can’t perform the bedroom rites? Alright, it wasn’t just the problem of bedroom matters, but rather her body can’t have too intense pleasure. If the uterus contract too intensely, it might cause harm to the child.
Jing Wan reached out to push him, “Stay away from me, too hot.”
“If it’s hot, then just go back.” Li Hong Yuan also disregarded the other people’s gaze, directly having Jing Wan picked up.
Jing Wan didn’t struggle. Whether it was her strange temper causing mischief, or showing off her authority after eating vinegar, it didn’t matter. Her two hands wrapped around his neck, unhesitantly leaning against his shoulder. “These people, just send to the estate, don’t do anything excessive, just treat it as amassing good fortune for the child.” To continue leaving them in the manor, don’t know what kind of trouble they will cause, so it was better to just send them away. Even though they won’t cause any actual damage, it more or less would make one annoyed.
“En, Mu An will take care of.”
Without any specific instructions, Mu An just stayed until the end.
Once Li Hong Yuan and them thoroughly disappeared without a trace, the originally invisible Eunuch Mu just straightened his back, that imposing air also rising up. And that feminine appearance, this while, also turned dark and cold, his gaze incomparably sharp, staring at those servant girls that produced daring thoughts. Those that met with his eyes, not a single one didn’t tremble in fear. That was truly being pitiful, like the most tender branch getting violently battered by the wind and rain, the leaves falling, the branch breaking, and not just pretending to be weak and pitiful. One by one, they were unable to withstand, their legs going limp, kneeling onto the ground.
Eunuch Mu walked before the servant girl that tried to frame Jing Wan, crouching down and grabbing the other party by the nape, “Lowly thing, to dare slander wangfei, futilely attempting to climb onto a high branch?”
“Eunuch, eunuch, this servant didn’t, really didn’t, eun….Ahhh——-”
The sounds of pleading instantly became screams, just because Eunuch Mu suddenly pressed the other party’s head, ruthlessly smashing onto the ground. A loud thud, much louder than when this servant girl kowtowed on her own just now.
“This is how you should kowtow to acknowledge your mistakes, understand?”
Eunuch Mu grabbed her hair, smashing her onto the ground again, bloodstains very quickly appearing on the ground.
The struggling stopped, and Eunuch Mu had her pushed aside, letting her collapse on the ground. It was obvious, she’d already passed out.
From the looks of it, dying wasn’t likely. After all, wangfei had said, don’t kill anyone, but whether or not there will be problems in the head, it was hard to say.
Eunuch Mu stood up, using a hand towel to slowly wipe his hand, “All sent to the outer region estates.”
People like this certainly can’t go the imperial estate.

So… just thought that the subject should be addressed, but in regards to sexual activities during low-risk pregnancies, there is no association with preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, or low birth weight, nor with spontaneous onset of labor at term. Orgasm can cause uterine contractions but they’re minuscule and don’t induce labor. A doctor may suggest pelvic rest (aka avoiding sex) in certain high-risk pregnancies but Jing Wan is obviously very healthy. What surprises me is that these are her thoughts and not just a certain someone being overprotective. Excuse my spiel, brain just stalled when I got to that bit.
Honestly the whole first three month thing is such a common trope in cnovels, idk why either, so it’s either likely the author is misinformed because of how often it shows up in cnovels, especially for ancient settings, or this was a common misconception people had in ancient times, and JW just isn’t that knowledgable in this field.
Mu An is the mvp of this chapter 🥺🥺
Yep.
All got mowed down , like chives meeting a sickle…
If they were obedient… still could’ve live in the wangfu happily.
