Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 574.1: Fu Rong’s Determination, Bloody Path

Regardless why the Baiyi clan had the bane of their most valuable treasure revered as a sacred treasure, this ultimately had nothing to do with Jing Wan and them.

Some problems, Li Hong Yuan also understood, so unhesitantly had the buddhist beads wrapped back around Jing Wan’s wrist again.

All the good things in the world, Li Hong Yuan can all shamelessly take for his own, but Jing Wan’s face wasn’t that thick, although towards this thing, she didn’t deny that she actually very much wanted. Everything else aside, if she’d just possessed from the start, then there won’t be this series of matters afterwards. However, this in itself just had contradictions. If Fu Rong had long had this item given to Jing Wan, then Fu Rong will have just lost the bargaining chip for revenge.

The premise to Fu Rong’s betrayal was that she can ensure Jing Wan’s safety. After achieving her goal, she unhesitantly had the treasure given to Jing Wan. In the past, she perhaps had also considered, but at the time, Jing Wan got protected by Li Hong Yuan very tightly. The Baiyi clan’s sacred treasure seemingly could only have the effect of adding flowers on brocade. And Fu Rong offering it up for no reason, for her that wasn’t that trusted to begin with, afraid it would just attract even more suspicions.

That’s why, even if offering up a treasure, it still needed to depend on the timing.

As for Li Hong Yuan, truthfully speaking, his weight in Fu Rong’s heart really was pitifully low. His position as a qinwang perhaps can’t even compare to just being Jing Wan’s husband. The one thing that Fu Rong commended the most about him was just his deep feelings towards Jing Wan, his heart and body as one.

Because of not having any weight, Fu Rong didn’t have any pressure in making use of him, never even hesitating once.

Jing Wan fiddled with the buddhist beads, but ultimately didn’t remove it. One of the reasons was that her husband certainly won’t allow it, and two, she had wanted it to begin with, so why the need to be pretentious about it.

The problem now was how to deal with Fu Rong. Having taken her thing, in addition to her inherently not having betrayed her, reasonably speaking, the previous matter should just be written off, but she had indeed been poisoned with the sleep gu, and shortly after, her husband also got drawn out of the capital because of it, getting caught in a series of dangers. Fu Rong’s actions were the cause of everything. On the serious side, no matter how she’s punished, it all won’t be too much, and not something that a treasured bead can just offset.

Jing Wan had the intention of punishing a little to prevent a heavy punishment, but her husband, after learning that he got made a fool of, won’t put down the matter lightly. For some people’s dignity, it was usually even more unforgivable than true betrayal and true great crimes.

“Seeing that you’re still considered perceptive, can be spared from death, but cannot escape from punishment.”

“Ah Yuan, why don’t you let Fu Rong make up for it. You’d said to let me decide.” Jing Wan said.

Li Hong Yuan glanced at Jing Wan. Jing Wan’s eyes were very firm, clearly already having an idea inside. Li Hong Yuan lightly snorted, considering as tacitly agreeing.

“Fu Rong, the person that contacted you back at White Dragon Temple was Sun Yi Lin, and the people that traveled with us during this trip—–” Aside from them, the rest probably all died, “We want to let them believe that you still haven’t been exposed, and afterwards, pass on some information to them.” To put it bluntly it was just feeding the enemy information through their own spies. “What do you think? However, this matter in itself just possess a fair amount of risk. That’s why, you can refuse.” Atoning one’s crimes through meritorious acts didn’t just have this one option.

Fu Rong was an extremely intelligent person, not just reflecting in her ability to learn things quick. In reality, if given the condition, she absolutely won’t be inferior to those women in the imperial palace. Moreover, in certain aspects, she further had an advantage. For instance, she’d dwelled in the red-light district for that many years after all, so if she really wanted to curry favor with someone, it was actually very easy, especially with men. Also for instance, her life has been full of trouble and misfortune, so towards her own life, she was all very indifferent. Additionally, even if having experienced that much, her heart still never rotted, falling into depravity. She still kept her human nature, knowing to be grateful————For the current Head Minister of Rites Sir Su, he himself was just someone with a thoroughly black heart, so he actually won’t like people that were the same as himself, because he was the most clear that people like him, for the sake achieving of their goal, can be completely unscrupulous. Some things, he can do, but absolutely won’t allow the people below him do.

That’s why, when appropriately making use of the various advantages, perhaps it will bring about an unexpected outcome.

Fu Rong quietly listened, her eyes slightly flickering, “Wangfei, this servant is willing. If possible, this servant even wants to personally take revenge.” For her to poison Jing Wan with gu, making use of Li Hong Yuan, wasn’t it precisely because of the discontent and resentment in her heart. Borrowing someone else’s power to achieve her goal, how can it be as satisfying as personally taking revenge, and personally participating within.

TN: All

Have to say, Fu Rong really was repeatedly surprising. The things hidden in the bones were greatly different from how she appeared on the surface.

However, in the end, the main culprit that brought about her everything today was Former Wei’s imperial family. Based on herself alone, to contend against them, it would undoubtedly just be ‘an ant trying to shake a tree’.

“Fu Rong, have you considered clearly? This isn’t a laughing matter.”

“Wangfei, originally, this servant thought that the various things in the past were all just because of an unfortunate fate, but to be able to encounter wangfei, it meant that it wasn’t thoroughly bad. If able to serve wangfei for the rest of one’s life, then that is also an extremely good thing. However, someone nevertheless appeared, telling this servant, that everything was all a fate created by humans, even wanting this servant to offer up the rest of one’s life. Just, this servant’s bones still haven’t completely turned soft. To be treated this way, one ultimately needs to return the favor. If able to return a little, then naturally not bad, and if able to return half, then even better. Of course, if able to payback in full, then that would be the best.”

How was this just ‘the bones not completely turning soft’, this was practically being made from iron. The exterior appeared soft and easy to grasp, but if really taking a bite, then the teeth will probably fall out.

What a talent, leaving by her side as a servant girl, that was truly burying her talents.

However, recalling the spies that the other countries dispatched to Qi Yuan, the ones at the top were all women. But, they for the most part were unable to remain clean and pure, regardless whether it was really being licentious, or having gotten forced, in the end, all won’t have a good end. Jing Wan didn’t wish for Fu Rong to end up as such. Moreover, without training………

“Wan Wan, no need to worry. Former Wei also has this husband’s people. When time comes, I will send someone to assist her.” Of course, the so called assisting was also monitoring. In Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, she had a stain, unable to be washed away easily. “Besides, Qi Yuan still has matters waiting for us to handle. This still needs quite a bit of time. Arranging for her to head to Former Wei, there’s no rush. During this time period, can let her learn some more things, though don’t really need to become that proficient. A specially trained spy and an ordinary spy all have their respective uses. The former may not necessary just surpass the latter. Often times, it all depends on how they’re used.” Li Hong Yuan glanced at Fu Rong’s face. At the time, when Noble Consort Su wanted her to become Li Hong Yuan’s tongfang, she’d unhesitantly ruined her face, “In any case, already ruined, later just add a gu, becoming even uglier. When time comes, probably no man will try to do anything.”

Without even needing to guess, Li Hong Yuan just knew what his wife worried about the most inside was still the last point.

Jing Wan was speechless. Since there was the so called beauty gu, then naturally there was just the ugly gu. Speaking of which, the former was all raised using young and beautiful women, while the latter was far from being that serious. Jing Wan suspected that Sun Yi Lin precisely had a similar gu on him, seemingly not just letting the person become ugly that simple.

Moreover, towards gu, regardless of the nature, Jing Wan all rejected from the bottom of her heart.

However, some things, when not using on oneself, one must admit that it was actually very useful and very effective. Compared to her own dislike, sure enough, it was still her husband that was able to more easily take advantage of the situation, gaining the upper hand.

People sure enough were all selfish and self-serving. Even if selfless and impartial, it was also just in relativity. The ones that were truly able to be selfless at any time and in any situation were probably just saints.

As for where those gu came from, knowing their origins, would one not be able to find? Moreover, Gong Jiu’s situation right now was rather strange. Perhaps one day, all the methods of raising gu will just appear in his mind. Regardless whether or not he himself want to raise, as long as Li Hong Yuan gives the order, he will certainly just give his all.

“It’s best to see how Fu Rong will choose.” Jing Wan said, even specially glancing at a certain someone. Did he need to say it that unpleasantly.

For the great majority of women, one’s chastity was important, but one’s appearance was similarly important.

“Wangfei, this servant is willing to listen to wangye’s suggestion. As the saying goes, ‘a beauty becoming dried up bones’. Relying on beauty to establish footing perhaps is easier, but similarly also very fragile. Starting from other areas, things perhaps will be more difficult, but once it succeeds, one will be able to stand more firmly. Moreover, for powerful people in high positions, they never lack beautiful advisors by their side. To not be the beauty, but rather the strategist behind the beauty, perhaps will be even easier than directly approaching the target, and many things may not necessarily require one to personally inquire. As such, the dangers will also reduce.”

At this moment, Jing Wan perhaps needed to acknowledge a fact. Those that had Fu Rong viewed a pawn actually unlocked certain dangerous traits of hers, and whoever unlocks will just end up experiencing.

Jing Wan actually somewhat looked forward to the storm that Fu Rong will stir up in the future.

“Why don’t you withdraw for now. Tonight won’t be peaceful, so eat a bit of something to preserve your energy.”

Since she didn’t expose herself here, then her treatment naturally need to be the same as Hei Mei. As the saying goes, ‘to prepare for the rain’. Even if Fu Rong temporarily won’t be used, still need to pay attention to the details starting now, and try to be as flawless as possible.

“Yes, this servant will take one’s leave.” Fu Rong curtsied and retreated two steps, but seemingly thinking of something, “Wangfei, this servant switching one of your buddhist beads, Grandmaster Liao Chen should know.” The underlying meaning was just to let Jing Wan rest assured, else can go back to seek confirmation with Grandmaster Liao Chen.

Jing Wan really wasn’t doubting anything. Her suspicions weren’t that heavy. Just, she casted a glance at a certain someone that was still perfectly composed.

Gong mama was standing outside the door the whole time. When learning of Fu Rong’s betrayal, it’s not that she wasn’t furious, but rather she was used to being solemn and steady, not revealing her emotions easily. However, now, her views towards her became somewhat complicated, matching with Jing Wan’s certain thoughts previously, a pity as a servant girl. Arranging for her to go to Former Wei sure enough was a pretty good option.

Just, Gong mama had Jing Wan viewed very importantly, and Fu Rong had done those things. Regardless how she makes up for it now, in Gong mama’s heart, she similarly will never be able to be washed clean. Of course, it was somewhat different from Li Hong Yuan’s thoughts. What Li Hong Yuan looked at was whether or not Fu Rong was worth trusting, and what she looked at was the possibility of Fu Rong continuing to serve close by Jing Wan’s side.

The things she has done, Fu Rong never once denied, but she also didn’t feel guilty inside. That’s why, regardless who she faced, she was all able to be openminded.
