Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife-Chapter 615: The Cause and Effect

The Cause and Effect

Li Hong Yuan prepared to toss everything and leave, having the imperial study thrown to his ‘five year-old’ son to use.

“Imperial father.” The ‘little crown prince’ called out to him, “After you left, this subject-son had you buried next to imperial mother, hoping that the two of you can be together in the next life.”

Li Hong Yuan paused in his step, and for once, even somewhat warmly glanced at the ‘little crown prince’, “You have heart.”

“This subject-son also investigated some other things.” The ‘little crown prince’ said with his eyes lowered.

In Li Hong Yuan’s past life, the thing that he wanted to know, yet unable to find out was just why did Jing Wan, under that kind of circumstance, marry into Wu’an Marquis Manor, and even when Wu’an Marquis Manor met with mishap, didn’t hesitate to taint herself to get expelled from the Luo family. When she married, Fu Yun Ting was still in the middle of mourning. Originally, it should be the perfect opportunity to delay the wedding date. Even if at the time, Jing Wan was already sixteen, but even if delaying a few years and finding another family, it was still better than entering Wu’an Marquis Manor. If Luo Pei Shan wants to find for her another pretty good marriage arrangement, he still had plenty of ways. And Le Cheng Emperor despising Wu’an Marquis Manor, this matter already couldn’t be more obvious. As a ‘loyal subject’, one should also clearly draw the line with Wu’an Marquis Manor. Distancing Wu’an Marquis Manor at that time was also understandable, and getting said a few words by others also wasn’t that big of a deal. However, the reality was entirely different.

Don’t say something like the Luo family was a scholarly family, so won’t do something like breaking a promise. For those that genuinely consider for the younger generation, these things were all meaningless.

Even though in a certain sense, because Jing Wan married Fu Yun Ting, she would thus run around for him, therefore appearing outside of the capital and encountering Li Hong Yuan, and as a result, produce entanglement, but these two things can’t be mixed together. In Li Hong Yuan’s view, since he and Jing Wan had such a predestined fate, then they will eventually meet and become accquainted.

“You looked for the Luo family? Or perhaps, should say, you connected with the Luo family?” Li Hong Yuan, because of considering for Jing Wan’s reputation, in the past, just secretly investigated, but clearly, it was completely fruitless.

Aside from directly going through the Luo family, Li Hong Yuan didn’t know where else he can get the answer from.

“In imperial father’s view, imperial mother didn’t want to let the Luo family know about her matter, but this subject-son feels that imperial father had thought too much, especially now after interacting with imperial mother. Imperial mother is a woman that dares to do and dares to admit. Not entering the Fu family’s ancestral tomb, and also not entering the imperial tomb, the former is because she betrayed her principles and bottom line, and the latter, how is it not also because of principles and bottom line. Aside from this, she actually doesn’t really care all that much about the rest. At least, when it comes to this subject-son, she probably hoped that this subject-son can have even more love and care from one’s family.”

Li Hong Yuan had to admit, this indeed was something he didn’t realize in his past life, else he wouldn’t have ‘never crossed the line’ with the Luo family. However, speaking of this, his understanding towards Jing Wan has never been based on the past life, but rather all learning little by little from this lifetime.

“Imperial father actually quite regret, right? Regret that you didn’t, at that time, let imperial mother become your wife. Even if the person is already gone, should still occupy a title.”

Regret? A little, but once everything could start over, that bit of regret had also long disappeared beyond the clouds. Holding onto the present was the most important. However, if switched with the current him, he certainly would unscrupulously have Jing Wan tied together with him. “Cut the useless talk.”

The ‘little crown prince’ was helpless inside. His imperial father really didn’t have any patience. “The reason why imperial mother didn’t turn down the marriage with Wu’an Marquis Manor, this actually was related to an incident prior to imperial mother entering the capital. Imperial father should know, back when Luo Old Madam was still in Qi’an Fu, she once nearly didn’t make it. An old mountain ginseng from Fu Yun Ting’s maternal family came to be of great help.”

Li Hong Yuan slightly frowned. He didn’t believe that this matter was just a coincidence.

“Fu Yun Ting’s maternal family and the Luo family both belong to two neighboring prefectural cities of the same commandery. Wu’an Marquis Manor’s situation, as long as one wasn’t stupid, exactly what it was like, many people were all well-aware inside. On Luo Old Madam’s matter, there is coincidence, but there’s also the factor of them deliberately orchestrating. After all, they also don’t want Wu’an Marquis Manor to really end up perishing in the end. As long as they can build a connection, then they won’t spare any effort, regardless of whether or not it’ll have an effect in the end. Having an extra connection just means having an extra hope. And at the time, when learning that the old madam was seriously ill, they just had that old mountain ginseng sent over. Moreover, they directly looked for imperial mother. Imperial mother having a deep relationship with the old madam is well-known throughout the entire Qi’an Fu. That’s why, by sending it into imperial mother’s hands, they can ensure that they won’t be rejected.”

The goal was clear, the intention obvious, precisely using an overt plot.

TN: All

In this lifetime, on Luo Old Madam’s matter, Li Hong Yuan had certainly gotten involved, so obviously, there won’t be anything left for Fu Yun Ting’s maternal family. However, reasonably speaking, his people were in the dark, and Fu Yun Ting’s maternal family should’ve also acted the same as the past life, looking for the Luo family during that time, but why didn’t he receive any news?

The ‘little crown prince’ was like as if making out his thoughts, “Imperial father had secretly helped out Wu’an Marquis Manor in the dark, so on this side, Wu’an Marquis Manor had it easier than on the original side. As a result, Fu Yun Ting’s maternal family stayed in the capital a lot more.”

Li Hong Yuan had this problem completely forgotten, his complexion a bit dark.

“Fu Yun Ting went to war, while someone was eager to eliminate him, so certain problems gradually became prominent. At this time, imperial mother got half-schemed against and half-begged by Fu Yun Ting’s mother. Among the Fu family ancestors, there really existed ambitions that shouldn’t exist, even leaving behind something that shouldn’t have been left behind, and that thing got seen by imperial mother. Thus, imperial mother was unable to escape from Wu’an Marquis Manor. As Wu’an Marquis Manor’s in-law family, in addition to imperial mother also carrying the Wu’an Marchioness title, as long as something happens to Wu’an Marquis Manor, the Luo family absolutely won’t be able to escape. That’s why, imperial mother would thus taint herself and get expelled from the Luo family, drawing a clear line with the Luo family. As such, regardless of what happens to her, the Luo family will all be preserved.”

Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, after quite some time, once again got covered in vicious currents, “Then, in other words, this emperor, not only shouldn’t have kept Wu’an Marquis Manor, but should’ve wiped out their entire clan.”

“Imperial father, according to this subject-son’s investigation, that thing that shouldn’t have been left behind, Fu Yun Ting should’ve been unaware of. Towards imperial mother, he was actually quite good.” Standing from an outsider’s perspective, Fu Yun Ting was also quite pitiful. He didn’t know anything at all, yet continuously got sorted out by imperial father.

Li Hong Yuan coldly glanced at the ‘little crown prince’. The ‘little crown prince’ quivered, obediently shutting his mouth. It was better to not draw the fire onto himself. That Fu Yun Ting and whatnot had nothing to do with him at all. Moreover, on the other side, he long didn’t even have bone shards left.

Li Hong Yuan directly swung his sleeve and left. In the imperial study, there was just the ‘little crown prince’s’ lonely figure left. The beansprout-sized body appeared even more lonesome and tiny.

The ‘little crown prince’ sighed, glancing at the imperial desk, and then glanced at his own ‘personal seat’ in the imperial study. Accepting his fate, he walked over, “Someone come……”

Eunuch Mu quickly, yet carefully, entered, “Your Highness.”

The ‘little crown prince’ glanced at him, “Head Eunuch Mu, imperial father should’ve told you, right?”

“Yes, his Majesty said, in the following days, the governmental affairs will all be given to your Highness to handle.” These words were still said quite smoothly, but on the inside, he nevertheless endlessly complained. Even if his Majesty is willful and impulsive, shouldn’t there still be a limit? His Highness is just five years old! He can’t even read the memorandums fully, yet already handling government affairs?

“Since that’s the case, what are you still standing around for? Go have the memorandums moved over, or are you waiting for this prince to do it on one’s own?”

Never mind his Majesty being willful, his Highness also dared to casually take over. Qi Yuan’s mountains and rivers sooner or later will get played to death by this family of yours. However, these words, he didn’t dare say out loud. To have been able to serve the living Enma for this many years without getting replaced, being perceptive and obedient was a crucial factor.

The ‘little crown prince’ flipped through the memorandums. Because it wasn’t that different from what he has seen on the other side, he just thought that memorandums were all like this. However, now, while carrying the body of a small child, even if getting the pot tossed to him by his imperial father, if able to be lazy, then he certainly will be lazy. “Summon the inner court scribe.” The scribe was in charge of writing for the emperor to begin with, so it’d be a waste to not use.

After the person came in, the ‘little crown prince’ had the memorandum tossed to Eunuch Mu, “Read.”

As the Chief Eunuch, he would also occasionally organize the memorandums for Li Hong Yuan. That’s why, as long as it wasn’t a confidential memorandum, he didn’t need to avoid either. Since the crown prince let him read, then he just read.

Once he finished reading, the ‘little crown prince’ lifted his chin at the inner court scribe, “Give it to him.”

What was he going to do? The ‘little crown prince’ very quickly just told them exactly what he was going to do.

“This prince will speak, while you write.” Afterwards, he just neither quickly nor slowly opened his mouth, having his suggestions voiced out. At the end, “What are you spacing out for, finished writing?”

That inner court scribe finally came to his senses, hurriedly lowering his head to write.

Having a start, the matters afterwards went very smoothly. All in all, the ‘little crown prince’ was just in charge of opening his mouth, his words concise and comprehensive.

Regardless whether it was Eunuch Mu, or that inner court scribe, their hearts were both beating madly. Was this like what a five year old child would do? Isn’t it too, too………

Like as if knowing their thoughts, the ‘little crown prince’ sighed, “This prince, for better or worse, has been in the imperial study since infancy, so this bit of matter, would one not be able to handle?”

———-Was it really like this? “Your Highness’s wisdom is unparalleled.”
