Chapter 389.2: Li Hong Yuan Crossdressing

Jing Wan was speechless. Being willful and whatnot, wasn’t it just her reputation as a jealous wife reaching great heights? Exactly whose fault was all this? ———-Jing Wan accidentally just had these words said out loud.

“It was indeed because of me, but Wan Wan, do you dare to pat your chest and vow that you’re not a jealous wife?” Li Hong Yuan teased.

Jing Wan opened her mouth, at a loss for words. Although she was inherently different from a jealous wife, if he, from the start, just had a pile of people by his side, then she definitely won’t give out her heart, and won’t be jealous. In reality, it was him giving her the power to monopolize him, but according to the standards of the current era, how was she just a wife jealous? It was practically just the ultra jealous wife among jealous wives, the one that was at the top of the pyramid.

“That’s why, this husband is also just having a fact spread far and wide, no?” Li Hong Yuan was rather bold and confident.

Jing Wan let out two ‘hmph’. She was the one that had obtained a great benefit after all. Just a not that pleasant sounding title, that’s all, what did that count as?

Li Hong Yuan had Jing Wan taken into his arms. Wan Wan didn’t mind, but he cared. So what if it was really being jealous or fake being jealous? Right now, it was nothing more than being unable to break away from it. Wan Wan will be the best virtuous wife, the best mother. The so called being virtuous was never dependent on how many women one arranges for one’s husband.

Right now, there was still time. Jing Wan insensitively escaped from Li Hong Yuan’s embrace, continuing to go paint. It wasn’t the portraits of the twelve beauties, but rather Li Hong Yuan’s painting. However, previously, it was secretly painting behind Li Hong Yuan’s back. But because the times he wasn’t by her side weren’t a lot, not much of this painting was completed.

Jing Wan this while just opened up a small section, just revealing the feet as well as the hem of the clothes.

At a glance, one just knew it was a man, so it absolutely can’t be anyone else. Li Hong Yuan also stopped being jealous, reaching out, wanting to unroll it.

Jing Wan hurriedly reached out to stop, “Right now, not allowed to look.”

Li Hong Yuan lifted his brow, “The servant girls have all seen, yet not allowing this husband to see?”

“Who told you the servant girls have seen? Aside from myself, no one else has seen yet.”

Li Hong Yuan was actually a bit surprised. After all, in the past, there was for the most part always a servant girl serving the ink by the side. Since it was like this, he naturally didn’t continue insisting on seeing, “This husband very much look forward to it.”

“After I finish, let you see first thing.”

“Okay.” Seeing that she was probably going to continue, Li Hong Yuan just retreated out, so as to avoid letting her be distracted while painting, being ‘overly skeptical’ as she tries to guard against him ‘stealing a glance’.

With no one around, Jing Wan had the painting entirely unrolled, quietly staring at the man standing in the painting with his hands behind his back. Truthfully speaking, for this painting, she had used an unprecedented amount of energy. Actually, she’d been quite slow in painting it. She wanted to see whether or not she can achieve a level that exceeded realism, lifelike to the point where it was like a photograph. In the past, she has never attempted this before. Although the gongbi style was further realistic, it was still very different from being super realistic. In her past life, super realism generally reflected in oil paintings, but in terms of the gongbi style, there were also those that leaned towards super realism, even receiving quite the following.

Jing Wan wasn’t sure whether or not she will be able to accomplish. However, she will give it her all. Even if she can’t reach her expected goal, she still wanted to complete a perfect painting.

All her attention was thrown into the painting. Time passed very quickly, and soon, an hour had gone by.

The sky was about to darken. Li Hong Yuan leaned against the doorway with his arms crossed, quietly watching Jing Wan paint. That scene in itself was already beautiful like a painting.

Jing Wan inadvertently lifted her head, seeing Li Hong Yuan. She first blanked, then immediately after, began smiling.

Li Hong Yuan also revealed a gentle and loving smile, “It’s getting late. You also painted quite a bit today, so don’t tire yourself. You can just slowly finish later.”

Jing Wan nodded, “En.” After slightly waiting a little, waiting for the painting to dry, she just stored it away. As for the other things, there naturally were others coming to take care of.

The next day, after the morning meal, Jing Wan’s invitations got sent out. The time wasn’t set in the afternoon, but rather the second day.

The ones that received an invitation, aside from the few good friends Jing Wan made when she first entered the capital, in addition to her two older tang sisters and her maiden family’s eldest sister-in-law, little Wang-shi, there was also the two that she’d became friends with last year at the imperial summer residence.

Sun Yi Jia, Yuan Qiao Qiao, and Zhou Ying Shuang, these three naturally didn’t need to be mentioned. The small banquet mainly was set for them, and as for her two older tang sisters, as well as little Wang-shi, it was mostly giving them backing. As for the last two, in essence, they can only be considered extra company. Although she might not be that attentive towards them, but Jing Wan didn’t have any ill intentions towards them either. Of course, if they mind Jing Wan’s reputation, they can refuse. And in reality, after the words Jing Wan said in Kang Qinwang Manor got out, the wind indeed greatly changed directions. In a certain sense, they were all already married anyways, so being close with Jing Wan, the benefits were greater than the detriments.

Have to say, aside from Sun Yi Jia, for the others, including Yuan Qiao Qiao, after their husband’s family learned of this invitation, they were all very surprised. And after being surprised, although mixed with other emotions, delight nevertheless still gained the upper hand.

They themselves were also very happy. Of course, there were also those few that felt very vexed, because their mother-in-law let them have their younger sister-in-law taken along. In the end, they still firmly refused with a rather unyielding attitude. Don’t have it where instead of currying favor, one instead annoys the other party.

In the end, although their mother-in-law was unhappy, they ultimately didn’t insist.

Regardless of what, Jing Wan all did her best. Although it can’t be considered being a nitpicky perfectionist, she nevertheless was attentive.

Because Zhou Ying Shuang was pregnant, for the sake of catering to her diet, she even specially instructed the kitchen.

Speaking from this bit, Jing Wan actually didn’t change at all, considerate and thoughtful, considering for others as much as possible.

Jing Wan did her very best to persuade, making all kinds of promises and coaxing, finally letting Li Hong Yuan agree to having nearly the entire day all left for her.

Near noon, they just arrived in succession. Jing Wan personally entertained the guests, also dressing relatively simple and casual, having certain aspects on her that were brought about by status reduced by a lot.

Originally, not long after Jing Wan married, she just went with Li Hong Yuan to Jiangnan, being away for half a year. Among them, there were some that haven’t interacted with her as a wangfei before. Originally, they were still somewhat nervous, but this while, those worries also more or less gone without a trace. That’s why, if Jing Wan wanted to deliberately do a bit of something, it actually wasn’t really considered difficult.

The most blunt were still Sun Yi Jia and Yuan Qiao Qiao, coiling around Jing Wan’s arm and very naturally joking with her.

As for Zhou Ying Shuang, carrying a sixth month pregnant stomach, she was somewhat cautious.

Jing Wan looked to her stomach, saying with a sigh, “Last time we met, felt it was during your wedding, yet now, this stomach is already this big.”

“Nonsense, when you were getting married, I clearly was also there.” Zhou Ying Shuang softly laughed.

“Ah, but that time, there wasn’t anything in the stomach yet.” Jing Wan reached out to caress, and that little thing just happened to move.

Zhou Ying Shuang softly let out a ‘pfft’, “Looks like this child quite likes Jing Wan. The child’s father sometimes would wait forever, yet all unable to see it move.”

“The first time our family’s Xuan’er moved in the stomach was also because of little sister Wan.” Sun Yi Jia said.

“This means that I have good fate with children.”

The others watched them joke around. Even if as Jing Wan’s blood related sisters, they were unable to be like them, because of the friendly relations, forgetting the honorifics and addressing directly.

Because Jin Qinwang Manor was big enough, and moreover, the acting troupe still rehearsed everyday, there was much to see and do. Those entertainers also didn’t dare to slight. After all, at the time, it was them choosing to stay in the manor, feeling that the manor was a pretty good place to seek shelter, so naturally they were prepared to perform for their masters at all times. Only when they had use would they be able to continue staying in the manor.

Because of these various factors, never mind grinding away a whole day in Jin Qinwang Manor, even if it was longer, it all wasn’t a problem.

For Jing Wan, although she spent every moment with Li Hong Yuan, being together everyday, she all won’t feel tired of it and all won’t feel annoyed. But right now, it can also be considered another kind of relaxing.

Setting aside ordinary commoners, for the upper class large families, to be able to be this leisure, there truly weren’t many. After all, too many people didn’t know the truth of the situation. They were only able to sense their own man’s abnormally tense mood. Even if not understanding the specifics, emotionally, they would still be greatly affected, so naturally unable to relax.
