It was obvious that this place would be found sooner or later. To cover up Li Hongyuan's intentional "disappearance" and to protect the people of the water stronghold, they needed a reasonable "explanation". This explanation was not something that could be settled with just a few words. There were many things that needed to be arranged. If they didn't hurry, it would be too late. This was clearly a matter between both parties. After all, if they couldn't cover it up, it would be extremely disadvantageous for both parties.
Now that Li Hongyuan confidently handed over everything to Clan Leader Pei, the other party had no choice but to take over. Who let the one who needed to get closer to him and not Li Hongyuan.
Li Hongyuan didn't come forward. The follow-up matters were all handed over to Jingwan.
Jingwan didn't say anything. At this time, her own husband was acting tsundere. Naturally, she would follow through to the end. However, Jingwan didn't expose the point that someone's heart was really tsundere. Of course, it wasn't because of Clan Leader Pei. To be specific, it was probably because someone wanted to be lazy.
The result of Jingwan's discussion with Clan Leader Pei was that Jin Qinwang was attacked. Under the protection of the guards, he entered the mountains. The attackers chased him relentlessly for two days. When everyone was exhausted and heavily injured, they met the people of the water stronghold. Thus, what should be covered up was covered up and what should be covered up was covered up. It was just that the details of the arrangements were quite difficult.
However, Jingwan then found that she thought too much. What should be arranged, Clan Leader Pei had already arranged. Obviously, he had already thought of this. In the discussion just now, he gave what he thought was a relatively reasonable arrangement. Because it was similar to what Jingwan thought, naturally there was no reason to disagree.
For example, the location of the "attack" had been moved ten miles downwards, and the boat that was submerged in the water had been moved downwards. Jing Wan didn't want to ask him how he did it, but this section of the canal had been sealed, and no one was allowed to pass through. It should be easier to operate than expected.
Another example, after entering the mountains, on the "escape" route, there would be traces of fighting from time to time. There were also many corpses along the way.
"… What we need to deal with now is the things that His Highness and Her Highness brought along, as well as the people who followed them," Clan Head Pei said calmly.
Jingwan didn't look too good. Corpse, where did this corpse come from? It couldn't be a coincidence. Obviously, Patriarch Pei treated human life like grass! "There are many birds and beasts in the mountains. All you need to do is leave some blood stains, rags, and the like. Old Master Pei, do you really have to go to this extent?"
But Clan Head Pei didn't care. "This old man knows that Princess Consort is kind-hearted, but a forgery has to be realistic. There are many smart people. Since there were people who wanted His Highness' life, then they wouldn't let go of any clues. You should know that His Highness brought many people with him and they were all quite skilled. To be able to force so many people to retreat, the other party must have a large number of people. With so many people lost in the mountains, how could a few bloodstains and cloth make up for it? However, esteemed wangfei can be at ease. In the end, it's just a fake. There aren't as many corpses as you think. "
There definitely wouldn't be fewer corpses! Jingwan's expression didn't improve. Her face was cold. "Since Old Master Pei has already thought it through, then there's nothing more to say. Most of the people by His Highness' side will be sent away, but they can't be too far away from His Highness. I'm sure Old Master Pei has already prepared a place for them to stay. In addition, His Highness is precious and can enjoy himself. Now that we have to sink these things with the ship, even if we salvage them later, I'm afraid that some of them can't be used … "
"Our Pei family will compensate His Highness for all his losses. We just have to inconvenience His Highness for a while."
"That's great." Jingwan flicked her sleeves and left.
"Esteemed wangfei …" Clan Head Pei called out to her.
"Is there anything else?" Jingwan didn't turn around. She just tilted her head slightly. She didn't even call out to him. Her disapproval of Clan Head Pei's actions couldn't be more obvious.
Clan Head Pei acted as if he didn't see her displeasure and continued to speak in a neither fast nor slow manner. "Those who stayed behind, after all, fought a hard battle to protect His Highness and Her Highness from being injured. How could they not be injured at all? Esteemed wangfei, don't you think so? Everything was done for His Highness' sake. Esteemed wangfei, please reconsider. "
Jing Wan left with a dark expression. She didn't know how many lives had been lost because of her. Now, under her watch, she had to watch them deliberately injure a perfectly fine person? A cold could be fatal. Moreover, it was already May. Wounds could easily become infected. Who knew if there would be serious consequences?
Clan Head Pei didn't comment on Jingwan's anger. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then, he placed the teacup in front of his eyes and studied it carefully as if he was looking at a treasure. "Too soft-hearted." In some aspects, he had to admit that his grandson's wangfei was very good. However, in other aspects, she was still lacking. In the current situation, she couldn't be a virtuous wife. She was too benevolent and wasn't suitable to be the mother of the country. "So it's time to change?"
Looking at Jingwan's cold expression, Li Hongyuan knew that the old man must have done something to make her not angry anymore. "Wan Wan, don't be angry. I'll avenge you."
"You don't know anything and you're already thinking of revenge? Maybe he didn't do anything wrong. "Jingwan sneered.
"My Wan Wan is unhappy, so it's his fault. Moreover, do I need a reason to punish someone?" He said it as if it was a matter of course.
Jingwan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Li Hongyuan. Suddenly, she realized that this man was indeed Clan Head Pei's grandson. He was very conceited and self-centered. Clan Head Pei was relatively introverted, while Li Hongyuan was more arrogant and flamboyant. In addition, she was also the center of this man's heart. Moreover, she occupied a more important position. Even if she had to do something that was inherently unpleasant, she wouldn't be angry at him because of their closeness.
Did this mean that she finally found the origin of Li Hongyuan's' ego '?
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan briefly explained the outcome of their 'discussion'. Li Hongyuan naturally knew why Jingwan was upset. In fact, this was basically within his expectations. However, there were some things that didn't need to be said out loud. Otherwise, Wan Wan would only feel more uncomfortable. She was lacking in these aspects and was no match for that old man. As long as she didn't harden her heart, she would never be a match for this kind of person. Li Hongyuan also knew that she wouldn't end up like this and would always be a 'loser'. But so what? He could deal with these people. Those who 'bullied' his wife naturally had to pay a heavy price. "Since things have already come to this, don't think too much."
Jingwan pursed her lips. She knew that this was the only way, but her heart couldn't calm down in a short period of time.
"As for the matter of self-injury …"
"Wangye, Wangfei, it's not good. Yu Daren and the others …" Qing Ju hurriedly rushed in. It should be known that when Qing Ju followed Jingwan into Jin Wangfu, she restrained herself as much as possible. She was afraid that she would be rash and lose face for her family's young lady. To be so anxious at this time, it could be seen that it wasn't a small matter.
"What happened?" Jingwan quickly asked.
"Yu Daren and the bodyguard Dage and the others got into a fight. Injured, injured."
Jingwan was startled at first. How could they get into a fight without any reason? Not to mention Yu Zhong Qing, Li Hongyuan's bodyguards, which one of them wasn't a person with self-restraint? On second thought, something wasn't right. "What about Old Mister Pei, is he also present?" Thinking of this possibility, Jingwan's expression became unusually ugly.
She couldn't make a decision on her own and was even worried that she would affect Ah Yuan's decision, so she acted on her own initiative and directly looked for the people below. Yu Zhong Qing was here to protect Jin Wangfu. As for the other bodyguards, to them, their lives weren't their own. If their master needed it, don't mention deliberately getting injured, even if they had to risk their lives, they wouldn't blink an eye. That old thing was sure of this point, so he dared to swagger in to look for people after she left.
Based on the basic respect that the younger generation had for their elders, at this moment, it was completely snuffed out. Jingwan hurriedly went out.
Li Hongyuan didn't stop her and unhurriedly got up. He also straightened his clothes that didn't have any wrinkles, and then lifted his feet to go out.
Jingwan's speed was very fast. Her original intention was to stop Yu Zhong Qing and the others, but when she arrived, it was too late. The scuffle was already over. That's right, it was a scuffle, the kind where the attack wasn't on guard. After all, only a real fight could create realistic wounds. More than a dozen people, because the clothes they wore were darker in colour, but because of the blood stains, in addition to the large gashes that were cut open by the blade, it looked very obvious.
Jingwan covered her eyes and couldn't say any words of reprimand, because it wasn't their fault at all. In their view, it was natural to do this.
"Qing Ju, go and take out the best wound medicine. — — You all quickly go and treat the wounds. "
"Wangfei niang niang, in this water stronghold, taking out the best wound medicine is unrealistic." Pei Clan Head stroked his beard as he spoke.
"That's enough. The wounds from a few days ago showed no signs of improvement. That's unrealistic." Jingwan said coldly. "And all of you, have you forgotten who your master is? You do whatever an outsider tells you to do? "
The guards were stunned. Indeed, no matter what happened in the end, it was up to their master to decide. They shouldn't have followed Yu Zhong Qing's decision just because they thought it was right. They looked at each other and knelt down on one knee. "Please punish us, Mistress."
"I'll remember this first. After this mission is over, I'll punish him when we return to the capital. However, I hope that this will be the last time," Jingwan said firmly.
"Yes."
Pei Clan Head looked on from the side, but he was very dissatisfied. How could a woman reprimand her husband's guards? This wasn't as simple as simply overstepping. "Wangfei niang niang niang …"
Jingwan's cold eyes swept over. "This Wangfei is speaking. You're just a commoner, how dare you interrupt? Is this the etiquette of your big family? Is this the seniority of your big family? I call you Old Mister because you're an elder. Don't take advantage of your seniority to point fingers at this Wangfei! "
Pei Clan Head was choked by Jingwan's words. He had always been a person who wouldn't change his expression even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, but at this moment, he couldn't keep his face straight. Although what she said was the truth and although Pei shi's situation was unstable, no one had ever dared to say such things to him. Jiangnan's four counties and twenty-eight prefectures, even the governor and the inspector general had to be polite to him. Now that he was thrown to the ground and stepped on by a little girl who was his grandchild, it would be strange if he remained indifferent. However, he couldn't find the words to refute.
In terms of status, she was a superior Wangfei. He was indeed just a commoner — — this was what he hated the most. In terms of seniority, he wasn't her elder. Even if he was Jin Qinwang's maternal grandfather, there was no relationship between them in name. So what if she didn't respect him? It was true that Qi Yuan had a tradition of respecting the elderly, but this wasn't a reason to lecture a Qinwang Fei.
Li Hongyuan looked on with interest. What was it, his wife's appearance when she showed her might was really attractive. However, his wife had always had a good temper. It was rare to see someone who could anger her to this extent. This Pei Clan Head was probably the first. En, he needed to remember this. As for why his wife had angered his "grandfather", it had nothing to do with him at all.
Li Hongyuan stepped forward and stroked Jingwan's back to comfort her, "Don't worry, I have people who are proficient in medicine. It's just an external injury, it won't cause any serious consequences." Obviously, with the previous years of indirect understanding and daily contact after marriage, Li Hongyuan had a good grasp of Jingwan's mentality.
Jingwan slightly relaxed and nodded, "There are some things that I need to arrange." Right now, she didn't want to see this Pei Clan Head at all.
"Go ahead." Li Hongyuan agreed.
"It's okay to spoil this woman a little, but if you spoil her too much, she will become arrogant. Your Highness … "
"What does my pleasure have to do with outsiders?" Li Hongyuan casually interrupted him. "The Princess Consort hopes that my family will treat me with sincerity. That's why she humbles herself and respects you. Don't tell me you think that your so-called status as the Pei Clan Head is enough for her to talk to you? I've seen plenty of self-righteous people. What I enjoy is her sincerity. I can't bear to spoil her mood, so I didn't say anything. Don't tell me you think that my silence means that I've acquiesced? I may have some expectations for family relations, but you're a person who prioritizes benefits and wants to make use of me. Do you expect me to obediently come knocking on your door? Who's more stupid than the other? Things have been arranged. Get as far away as you can. If you make her unhappy again, don't blame me for making the entire Pei Clan unhappy. "
Li Hongyuan's words didn't arouse much of a reaction from Pei Clan Head. "Your Highness's importance to the Princess Consort is really beyond my expectations." His words were a little ironic. In his opinion, this was still an act, and the goal was always the same. However, since some words were exposed, it was also good. Pei Clan Head didn't intend to use the so-called family relations to achieve his goal. He always believed that there were no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests. "However, Your Highness did a good job of burning the bridge after crossing the river. Based on your care for the Princess Consort, you certainly wouldn't order people to hurt themselves. This old man played the villain and helped Your Highness solve it."
"So what? Do you expect me to be grateful? "
