Chapter 564: Another Kind of Gu
An hour after Jing Wan used the meal, the child in her stomach also began moving. Perhaps because having been stifled terribly previously, this while, he was overly lively. In reality, it was a bit uncomfortable, but Jing Wan couldn’t help but smile.
As for Gong mama, after the initial joy, she realized a problem. Since someone meticulously schemed to poison wangfei with sleep gu, then it certainly won’t just wear off after a period of time on its own. Who removed the sleep gu? Even under her eyelids. And this person most likely was the person behind the scenes that used Qing Yi as a shield and didn’t get caught by them. Now, they once again soundlessly did something similar, so how can it be tolerated…….
Gong mama suddenly thought of that night a few days ago. Intuitively something was wrong, but in reality, nothing peculiar was discovered. That’s why, sure enough, it was precisely that night?
Gong mama didn’t show it on the surface, but on the inside, she was terrifyingly gloomy. Once, it can still be concluded as defending too tightly thus having an oversight, but then what about this second time? How should it be counted as? This indeed can be considered her incompetence.
Gong mama rather wasn’t angry because of repeatedly getting ‘provoked’. Mainly, it was still because this kind of completely uncontrollable situation made her feel very helpless, just fearing that another problem will occur at an unknown time.
In reality, it wasn’t the problem of when another problem will occur, but rather, letting wangfei wake up at this time, this in itself was just a very big problem. Gong mama’s gaze towards every person all carried faint suspicion, her conduct also increasingly careful and cautious. Not only towards Jing Wan’s food and things, but also towards her own, she was also exceptionally careful. Because at present, she practically can be certain, that night, she’d been affected. To want to do her best to protect her master, she first must prevent anything from happening to herself.
However, Gong mama produced another doubt in the bottom of her heart. Wangye believed that Grandmaster Liao Chen’s place was safe enough, thus felt reassured in having wangfei left behind, and moreover, took away practically all the shadow guards and guards. But, this situation now, how should it be explained?
“Mama, is something the matter?”
Gong mama hesitated for a moment. Judging from wangfei’s attitude after waking up, towards the current situation, it seems she isn’t completely unaware. Reasonably speaking, everything happened after she fell into a coma, so she shouldn’t know. Then, it can only mean that either prior to meeting with mishap, wangfei already somewhat detected, or it’s just that during this period of time, towards the outside, she actually had perception, just unable to wake up.
Jing Wan also didn’t open her mouth again, clearly just waiting for the other party to voluntarily explain.
Gong mama has followed by Jing Wan’s side for five to six years already, knowing that Jing Wan’s thoughts were actually very transparent. Often times, she would observe with her eyes, and understand inside. Not saying didn’t mean that she didn’t know. Even though right now, telling her everything, especially wangye deeply penetrating the tiger’s den, afraid she won’t be able to withstand, but if one doesn’t say, would wangfei just not worry? Sometimes, the unknown made one’s thoughts run wild the most, even fearing. Knowing the facts, perhaps one can even come up with a pretty good idea.
Gong mama in the end had the cause and effect of the whole matter all told to Jing Wan.
Jing Wan was much calmer than what Gong mama had expected. From beginning to end, never mind her expression, even her gaze all didn’t change.
“Wangfei, are you…….”
“En?” Jing Wan lifted her head, and immediately understood Gong mama’s meaning, shaking her head, “Mama, I’ve already gotten treated as wangye’s weakness.” Merely stating a fact, yet her voice was a bit low.
“Wangfei, that’s not the case, you and wangye……….”
“Mama doesn’t need to be like this. I have an understanding inside. Don’t worry, I won’t let my thoughts run wild.” Jing Wan right now actually was more clear than anyone of her own situation. That’s why, even if worried inside, burning with anxiety, it was still best to not act on her own, else when time comes, never mind not helping at all, it might even cause trouble. In her past life, in those tv dramas and movies, weren’t such plot very common? Although those things, mostly were because of plot necessity, having an artistic element, but in reality, it was absolutely possible. That’s why, self-awareness sometimes was quite important.
TN: All
Thus, Jing Wan’s current situation was somewhat similar to Li Hong Yuan’s previously when she’d sunk into a coma. The more worried and anxious she was, the more she forced herself to calm down and remain rational.
Seeing Jing Wan as such, Gong mama was both happy and worried inside. However, it was ultimately much better than her disregarding everything and going to look for wangye.
Afterwards, Gong mama also mentioned how that person behind the scene let her suddenly wake up, as well as her suspicions towards Grandmaster Liao Chen.
“As for Grandmaster Liao Chen, mama must be overthinking. After all, that person wants me to wake up, and not harm more. Moreover, grandmaster is an outsider to mortal affairs, emphasizing on the cycle of karma, so won’t rashly get involved. To be able to borrow the place for a temporary stay, it is already not easy. Any more, cannot be insisted. As for the rest, mama, let everyone all wait outside, and let them come in one by one. I have something to ask.”
Gong mama knew that her own wangfei had calculations inside, so no longer said anything, acting according to her words.
Right now serving by Jing Wan’s side, for the most part, were also those that personally served her back at the manor. Aside from them, there was also Eunuch Mu that got viewed by Li Hong Yuan as a burden and didn’t take with him. The amount of people weren’t many.
Inquiring one after another, rather than questioning, it was better to call it a private conversation between master and servant, the very casual kind. Aside from a certain person, the rest for the most part all didn’t carry any ulterior motives.
All the way until Fu Rong appeared before Jing Wan. Jing Wan placed down the tea cup in hand——–the flower tea that Gong mama specially prepared for her. Her gaze landed on Fu Rong. She was actually more or less the same as when they first met.
Coming from the brothels, yet didn’t get dyed with the brothel’s air in the slightest. Originally, Jing Wan felt that probably because Fu Rong was lucky, encountering a brothel keeper that was pretty good to her, but thinking about it now, sure enough she was too naive. However, even if there wasn’t that incident that time, since Fu Rong was being deliberately cultivated, then presumably, she will get sent to certain people’s side no matter what. Just, under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn’t have been her husband. Can this be considered inviting the wolf into the home? Jing Wan inwardly mocked herself.
“Fu Rong, do you have anything you want to say to me?” Although it was said as such, Jing Wan still felt that the other party was a bit strange. How to put it, actually, prior to her meeting with mishap, she didn’t think of this, but after waking up, having everything before and after linked together, she for the most part was certain of the target. Just, she felt that it was simply Fu Rong intentionally warning her. After all, previously she’d always been very normal, not revealing the slightest abnormality————never mind if it was just herself, the others similarly didn’t detect. It was more than enough to show that she indeed didn’t have any leaks.
But, what was her goal in doing this? Believing herself to be skilled thus daring, believing that the matter in the end will definitely develop according to her vision, thus deliberately provoking? Or was it that she inherently just had the intention to warn?
“Wangfei, for this servant, is someone whose favor is equal to giving one new life, this servant………”
“Fu Rong, you’re too serious. At the time, you saved Bai Shao first, so having you kept behind is just doing in passing, that’s all. It really isn’t considered anything. Moreover, even without me, you escaping the fire pit is also just a matter of sooner or later.” Jing Wan neither lightly nor heavily interrupted her.
“Wangfei believes it really will be as such? Without wangfei taking in, this servant will get disgraced, and will get repeatedly passed around, like an insignificant plaything. Anyone can all grasp and trample. Wangfei’s slight effort, for this servant, that is just equal to the honor of receiving new life.” Fu Rong’s posture was upright, her head slightly lowered, a very standard posture————the posture of a qualifying servant girl by the master’s side within the upper class courtyards.
Jing Wan fell silent, very much wanting to ask, since that’s the case, you’re repaying favor with malice? However, in the end, she didn’t ask. It was quite pointless. “You wanting me to wake up, what is it for?”
“Someone doesn’t want to let wangfei continue staying in White Dragon Temple.” Fu Rong truthfully stated.
“Oh? They’ve already grasped wangye’s weakness, yet still unable to deal with him?” When Jing Wan said this, she was faintly a bit proud. Look, that was precisely her man. Regardless of your arrangements, you similarly still can’t beat him.
“Wangye grasps the pearl of wisdom. Ordinary people naturally can’t compare with him. To want to take him down, one naturally needs even more chips. That’s why, it’s not at all surprising.”
“In other words, the matter of me waking up at this time, regardless of what, all won’t be able to reach him?”
“Not only this. In reality, if you don’t leave White Dragon Temple, it’ll be impossible for wangye to return. At least, it’s impossible within three months. Wangfei, in your body, there’s actually more than just the sleep gu. That other gu is what will truly impede wangye.”
