“Heh, this meaning of yours, the younger generation stealing the elder’s thing, a boy stealing a girl’s thing, ‘just destroying if unable to obtain’, these all aren’t wrong? As the saying goes, to teach by word and example. Could it be that fourth brother is just this kind of person?” Li Hong Yuan propped up his chin, “Interesting, imperial father pushes for a benevolent rule, yet fourth imperial brother’s thoughts are the complete opposite of imperial father’s, don’t know if imperial father finds out, whether or not he will be angry?”
Li Hong Yuan’s mouth, not many present haven’t experienced before. His words may not necessarily be much, but it was just too malicious, the kind that perhaps can get someone killed. Just like for instance right now, if passed on into Le Cheng Emperor’s ears, Gong Qinwang nine times out of ten will suffer.
Gong Qinwang suppressed his anger. Because he’d suffered too many times, if he really were to get enraged to the point of losing his rationality, the outcome would just be even worse. That’s why, he repeatedly warned himself, calm down, calm down, calm down. “Sixth brother, as the saying goes, things can be carelessly eaten, but words can’t be carelessly said. This older brother ultimately is your elder brother. You slandering as such, afraid isn’t appropriate.”
“Fourth imperial brother seems to have said something wrong. This prince has always avoided eating things carelessly. After all, one has been picky about food since young. Things that aren’t good, and things that aren’t tasty, that’s all unable to swallow. However, words have always been said as one pleases. So what if it’s reversing right and wrong, swapping black and white is more interesting. That’s why, for fourth imperial brother, some words shouldn’t be carelessly said, especially in front of this prince.”
Gong Qinwang tugged the corner of his mouth. Right now, he somewhat regretted. Originally, the matter his son caused had nothing to do with Jin Qinwang Manor. Just, considering that he might face his imperial father’s punishment, he just subconsciously wanted to escape the blame. It has already formed into a habit. In fact, those words just slipped out without much thought. Provoking Li Hong Yuan, the possibility of escaping the blame was zero, but ‘adding to the crime’ was very likely. Gong Qinwang right now even wanted to give himself two slaps.
“Yu Yao is our younger cousin. Her biao nephews and biao nieces weren’t few. That many people didn’t try to steal from her, yet only your son had no respect for his elder. Fourth imperial brother even has the nerve to have the blame pushed onto this prince. However, since fourth imperial brother has already said it as such, then there’s one thing you should know, this prince’s things, one can give away and bring out as one pleases. Without this prince’s permission, just try and extend that hand! Even so, this prince rather want to see, who dares to criticize this prince.”
“Sixth brother, if I have to say, perhaps because there’s too many good things in your manor, fourth brother very much covets. If these cats and dogs can be brought out and shared, perhaps he even counts on you having other things brought out and shared.”
Matters involving Li Hong Yuan, the others all have learned from experience already. Even if the person he attacked was actually their opponent, it was still best to not easily get involved, because perhaps one not only won’t be able to kick down one’s opponent, one might even have oneself buried. That’s why, encountering this kind of thing, everyone all had a tacit understanding, just need to watch. But, right now, someone actually commented, so wasn’t it just simultaneously looking over. Eleven, really is the newborn calf not fearing the tiger.
The eleventh prince was fifteen, so need to wait until next years to leave the palace and open his own manor. His age gap with Li Hong Yuan was somewhat big. Although he knew of Li Hong Yuan’s infamy, but in reality, towards them, these younger ones, Li hong Yuan for the most part has never done anything before. Regardless of which aspect, towards these younger brothers, that was just one description, his old man’s sons, just this, nothing more.
Li Hong Yuan casted him a glance. When the others thought that he would lash out, he just indifferently retracted his gaze.
It was different from what they’d anticipated. Gong Qinwang originally was still hoping that the other party can share the ‘burden’ with him, but in the end, Li Hong Yuan didn’t act according to ‘common sense’ this time! Unable to deal with Li Hong Yuan, but would he not be able to deal with him? Gong Qinwang’s eye daggers shot over, “Eleven, if you don’t have your sixth brother’s fate, then don’t easily copy him, it’s not good.”
The eleventh prince got threatened, but just unconcernedly shrugged his shoulders, “This younger brother has always been self-aware, so not copying sixth brother, but merely just stating one’s own thoughts, that’s all. If fourth brother feels that’s not the case, then just deny it, how simple. Why need to mind? As people, thinking too much can easily shorten one’s life.”
Saying it as such, towards this younger brother, they seemingly somewhat saw him ‘in a new light’. This is eating the wrong medicine today, daring to retort his power wielding older brother like this? For ones like him, that was truly having no power and influence, and also no favor, just a little nobody. These grown princes were simply too lazy to bother with them. Even if they come of age, still need to see what their wife’s family is like before deciding the next step.
Right now, this was a little nobody not wanting to be a little nobody anymore, jumping out to promote their existence? Is he not afraid of breaking himself?
He was a prince after all, so compared to many people, no matter how terrible, there was still at least thirty points. As long as he knows his place, just like the sickly fifth wangye, in the future, no matter which brother takes the throne, for the sake of reputation, they can all continue to comfortably live out their days, just like the current Zhong Qinwang. The eleventh prince was just a lustful one, having already started his night life a few years ago. This originally wasn’t anything big either, but to stupidly jump out at this time, afraid, in the future, won’t have the opportunity to continue holding beauties anymore.
(T/N: The eleventh prince was the one that got involved with a village girl back in chapter 174.)
Regardless of the reason, Li Hong Yuan all wasn’t interested. Of course, if one day this younger brother were to suddenly emerge with power, somewhat becoming an opponent, Li Hong Yuan perhaps will give him an extra glance. However, even if he starts rising up now, afraid he already won’t have the time. The messy state of affairs at present undoubtedly will end within two years.
“This prince is in a pretty good mood today, so don’t want to bother with this kind of trivial mater, so don’t come looking for this prince.”
Upon hearing this, they immediately just understood that Li Hong Yuan didn’t plan on looking into this matter. Some people felt it was a pity, but Gong Qinwang alone rejoiced.
It was just the fixed notion of believing that Li Hong Yuan just liked take revenge on the spot, not liking to settle the account after the fact. Because of this, often times, when getting messed with, exactly who was messing with them, they usually would pick the wrong target.
Only those that truly understood Li Hong Yuan knew that his tolerance was smaller than the tip of a needle, and was an expert in screwing over people in secret. That’s why, Gong Qinwang really was rejoicing too early. As one would ask, your son killed the birthday present he’d ordered people to find for his wife———–regardless of whether this present, his wife has already given away or not———–you think you can still not pay any price and just easily walk away? Hehe, keep dreaming.
The reason why it wasn’t ‘handling’ now was still that line, because of Jing Wan, because it was Jing Wan’s birthday, he wanted it to be as perfect as possible. If in the end, it was ruined because of him, even if Jing Wan doesn’t say anything, he himself would all feel gloomy.
And afterwards, for the sake of not provoking the living Enma, everyone was all quite peaceful. The atmosphere really was quite harmonious.
Gong Qinwang sat for a moment, but recalling his own wangfei’s temper, he ultimately wasn’t able to sit still. He didn’t want to get retaliated by Li Hong Yuan because of Qin-shi doing something stupid again. The husband and wife as one? The wife’s mistakes pinned on the husband is only right and proper? That was all bullshit. Gong Qinwang just know, ‘to respectively fly away on one’s own when facing great disaster’, although right now, it was still far from that extent. However, when really encountering something big, he didn’t mind having his wife pushed out in the slightest.
After searching, he discovered that his own wangfei really did leave Jin Qinwang Manor already. Gong Qinwang gritted his teeth in anger. This trouble causing slut!
If it was in the past, that was having Gong Wangfei carefully cupped in the palm. Gong Wangfei was truly arrogant inside and outside of the manor. If she deals with Gong Qinwang’s concubines, Gong Qinwang would instead sweetly coax her, but that was because his father-in-law held military power. If he wants to take the throne, he absolutely can’t turn his back on his father-in-law’s support. Just, he’d lowered himself and tried to curry favor in all respect, yet this father-daughter pair still dared to climb on his head, becoming arrogant. Because of a bit of trivial matter, Qin Tian Ming just treated him coldly. Since he was destined to fail at winning over, then why the need to continue being servile.
Gong Qinwang had lost his patience towards Qin-shi, so Qin-shi naturally will suffer, but Qin Tian Ming’s position was still there after all and hasn’t thoroughly severed ties with Gong Qinwang, so even if Gong Qinwang doesn’t give Qin-shi a good face, he still needed to look after a little.
Gong Qinwang rushed back to Gong Qinwang Manor, but he unexpectedly didn’t see the person. Gong Qinwang slightly pondered and immediately headed towards Guan Jun Marquis Manor.
