Chapter 280.2: One Wave Yet to Settle, Another Wave Rising

Because the table space was limited, every time, it was at most just four dishes, but what was actually prepared was actually at least several dozen. That’s why, it was also considered a small scale flowing banquet. Ordinarily, it was just taking one bite. The ones that she took a few extra bites of, for the most part, were considered to her liking. Once the banquet ended, they will probably also be able to roughly learn Jing Wan’s preferences.

Seeing that the atmosphere was still considered harmonious, some officials attempted to take their children or grandchildren up to toast wine, all very perceptively directing towards Jin Wangfei, even when speaking, they were mostly leaning towards Jing Wan. And Jing Wan for the most part didn’t reject anyone that approached. Of course, she only used her lips to touch the wine cup, unable to be criticized.

As such, Jing Wan gradually became the focus instead, and Li Hong Yuan became the luggage. Perhaps because everything happened so naturally, no one felt there was anything wrong. For the situation to become like this, Jing Wan was also helpless. It’s not that Jing Wan never reminded him, but this bastard not only didn’t think of taking hold of the situation, he instead even calmly watched her ‘make a fool of herself’.

There were also madams that brought up their daughters, and perhaps having gotten warned beforehand, when toasting, their gaze never once glanced in Li Hong Yuan’s direction.

Since it wasn’t something that tiring, and everyone was also all very proper, Jing Wan wasn’t stingy either, towards the young ladies that approached, all praising a few words.

When there was no one left, Li Hong Yuan suddenly leaned closer to Jing Wan, softly chuckling by her ear and whispering, “It seems towards these things, Wan Wan is rather skillful. As expected, you’re just naturally born to be my wife.”

Borrowing the cover, Jing Wan secretly pinched him. Even if she was naturally born to eat this bowl of rice, her choice wouldn’t just be limited to him alone either. This face…………

Li Hong Yuan felt the pain, but didn’t show it on the surface, pulling over Jing Wan’s hand and lightly squeezing, then letting go as if nothing happened.

Speaking of which, because Li Hong Yuan’s appearance was truly too provoking to the eyes, even if the patterns on his clothes were low-key, it still couldn’t cover up his luxurious air. From the moment he appeared, just don’t know how many girls have been secretly peeping at him. Originally, it was still okay when he didn’t speak or smile, but once he smiled, the destructive power was truly too great, to the extent that some of those girls even dropped their chopsticks. And when they returned to their senses, their entire face was bright red, endlessly embarrassed, hurriedly covering up, just fearing that the two above saw them.

As the madams that have seen Li Hong Yuan before, they already predicted that their daughter might have this kind of reaction. This can’t be blamed on these young girls that were just having their first awakening of love. Even for them, as women that have long married as someone else’s wife, when they first saw him gently smiling towards Jin Wangfei, they all somewhat blanked. They disapprovingly glanced at their daughter that had lost their manners. Their previous warnings were all said for nothing. This also truly made one very helpless, just hoping that they don’t really produce certain thoughts.

And precisely at this time, the music somewhat changed. The originally light, cheerful, and graceful music started to carry a bit of decadence. It wasn’t very heavy, light like there was a feather lightly teasing. When unaware, there wasn’t any feeling at all, but once one noticed, probably will have a kind of itchy and unbearable feeling inside.

Jing Wan’s movement paused, and looked towards the outside of the hall. Slim and graceful dancers entered in a line, taking graceful steps. Their dance attire was with white as the main color, their faces covered with a pearl veil, yet the woman at the very end was fully clad in crimson. On her face was red muslin, and on the surface of her clothes was also flowing muslin. Clearly the kind of titillating attire from a different tribe, where the arms and waist were revealed, yet she made appropriate changes, and in addition to that ‘tightly’ wrapped, yet in reality, still curvaceous body, she indeed still carried the reserved gentle beauty that a woman of Qi Yuan would have.

Just, if the clothes inside were removed…….heheh………

The people that recognized this women clearly weren’t in the minority, yet not one didn’t inwardly curse: As expected of a slut.

And for the various officials that learned from their respective madam’s mouth this girl’s identity, not one didn’t inwardly curse the Inspector General’s deviousness. Jin Qinwang was difficult to be bribed by beauty, but if it is one’s own daughter, then that was a whole other story. Ordinary beauties, that was just purely sent over as a plaything, and if favored, then perhaps can still have a bit of use. But a daughter, even if just as a low ranking concubine, as long as he accepts, then that was just considered a connection, so more or less would give a bit of face, no? This not only was devious, but practically just shameless.

The Governor-General and Inspector General, one controlled a prefecture’s military, and one controlled a prefecture’s administration. They can be considered ‘the well water not violating the river water’, but was this really the case? More like as incompatible as fire and water.

The Governor-General’s family had a tyrant. The Inspector General’s family also had a tyrant. Just, this latter tyrant once mingled in the capital before, so wasn’t really considered a true tyrant. That day, at Kaiming Crisp Restaurant, just that coincidentally, the Inspector General family’s tyrant was also present. Just, he didn’t bring along a bunch of followers, purely just a passerby, yet still got caught. This was truly an absurd disaster. However, when he had left the capital, Li Hong Yuan had already opened his own manor, and although that terrible reputation still wasn’t that resounding, yet it still already made one aware that he shouldn’t be provoked. As such, after falling into Li Hong Yuan’s hands, he was also perceptive, and precisely because of this, Jing Wan and them only realized afterwards that among that group of young maters, there even hid a big fish. And at this time, he was similarly still locked up in the villa’s small dark room, similarly getting ‘reeducated’, and because he cooperated, he rather didn’t suffer any hardship. Speaking of which, the Inspector General that day had important matters at hand, so was unable rush to Kaiming Crisp Restaurant.

The Inspector General’s Madam, these few days, similarly went to see Jing Wan, yet also behaved very appropriately and proper, seemingly even a bit inferior compared to the Governor-General’s Madam.

And the Inspector General himself, on normal days, was also much more low-key than the Governor-General, but in reality, contended equally against the Governor-General. That’s why, this definitely wasn’t an honest person.

In reality, the Inspector General Madam’s complexion also wasn’t that good. She was already someone over fifty, and didn’t have some child obtained at old age, so naturally didn’t have children of marriageable age. Her parents-in-law above her have already passed away, and her eldest son had taken an official post elsewhere. Even that unfilial son that was currently still locked up by Jin Qinwang was also someone over twenty. This one right now was nothing more than a shu daughter. Her birth mother was a dancer from the outer regions, beautiful to begin with, and the daughter she gave birth to further inherited the parents’ strong points, appearing even more beautiful. The Inspector General although wouldn’t go as far as to favor the concubine over the wife, but towards this pair of mother and daughter, he indeed had a bit of fondness, and towards this shu daughter’s upbringing, he was also meticulous. Who couldn’t tell, that was just preparing to be used in a political marriage. Thus, she also was just too lazy to bother.

Clearly a shu daughter, but when outside, she carried the airs of a di daughter. In addition to that appearance, afraid she was the only one in all of Kaiming Fu to be this way. As such, the daughters of the other official families, for the most part, didn’t have anyone among them that liked her.

Jin Qinwang, even if he’s the imperial envoy this time, one still can’t deny the truth of him having no power nor influence. The Inspector General’s Madam truly couldn’t figure out, why would the meticulously raised for political marriage shu daughter be pushed out at this time, and even during this kind of occasion, practically not even wanting the face anymore.

When the Inspector General’s Madam looked towards Jing Wan, she carried a bit of apology in her eyes. She could tell that Jin Wangfei and Jin Qinwang had deep feelings. If because of little slut, the two of them were to fall into disharmony……………….

However, after discovering Jing Wan’s expression, not just her, even the other madams were also somewhat surprised, because Jing Wan not only didn’t get angry, she was even rather engrossed, seemingly completely unaware of the intentions of the person dancing. In contrast, Jin Qinwang still had an indifferent look. That feeling was practically just as if their roles were swapped.
