Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Human Detector

Jing Wan speechlessly watched these boy become fully revived again, and afterwards, got ruthlessly trained in all kinds of ways. Moreover, it was obvious that the ones ‘peeking’ at her little daughter weren’t just her own study companions. Her two youngest little grandsons’ study companions seemingly were also a bit ‘restless’, to the extent that those two little guys lately were all a bit irritable. For example, ‘I had you treated as a brother, yet you’re having delusions towards my little aunt’. En, just like this. Thus, the liveliness level just once again doubled.

As time went on, Jing Wan also helplessly laughed in spite of herself. To be this energetic also wasn’t anything bad. After all, they were all still small children. However, Jing Wan still slightly warned certain people, don’t go too overboard, else when time comes, she will have to sort them out.

Although there were that many more people by her side now, little Ning Guo’s daily life still didn’t change by much. She would softly call out to everyone in her family, act cute and spoiled in front of Jing Wan, and of course, also know how to be perceptive, not going overboard. However, where Ning Guo was smarter than her older brother back then was that she will directly have her sight shifted onto Li Hong Yuan. Every time seeing, she would all go forward with determination, sweetly calling imperial father, asking to be held. In ten to twenty times, he perhaps would hold her once, while most of the times, he would just ignore her. In any case, he was also used to having a heart of stone. Of course, occasionally he would just lightly pat her little head. Even if just like this, Ning Guo would still be very happy.

However, recently, Li Hong Yuan for once very seriously looked down at this little daughter, “You’ve already started your schooling, so a big girl now, how can you still randomly ask imperial father for hugs? Need to be dignified and proper, can’t be this delicate, understand?”

And obviously, Ning Guo really listened, not only not pouncing on Li Hong Yuan anymore, she also didn’t let others hold anymore. Every time asking her why, she would all have a serious look, “Ning Guo is big now, can’t hold anymore.” Carrying a little adult look, needless to mention how cute.

This appearance made the others want to hug and kiss her even more, but Ning Guo expressed that she won’t give, very much having principle, exceptionally determined.

This time, it was a tragedy, but after learning who the main culprit was, everyone could only burn in silence, not daring to say a single word.

However, the fact that one line was enough to let Ning Guo no longer be that clingy, Li Hong Yuan’s perception towards her instead improved a little. When encountering again, he even gave a bit more ‘encouragement’.

Receiving her own imperial father’s praise, Ning Guo just went all out down the path of becoming ‘independent’——–She was a big girl now, absolutely can’t randomly kiss and hug.

The crown prince was already nineteen. Selecting a consort at this time was actually already considered late.

And the crown prince’s position right now was still very firm. Even if his younger brothers below were also gradually growing up, their excellence needless to be doubted, but for the sake of preventing strife among the brothers, from the start, Li Tian Lin just very clearly expressed that the crown prince needs to kindly treat his younger brothers below. And as the younger brother, if they do anything to threaten the crown prince, then even if the crown prince dies, in fact, even if only the main culprit is the only one left among the brothers, they still won’t be able to obtain the throne. And don’t say something like they were all from the same mother, so why can the eldest one just inherit the throne, but they can’t. There weren’t that many excuses, and there also weren’t that many whys.

Reasonably speaking, with Li Tian Lin clearing away the obstructions for his eldest son, the crown prince should be more relaxed, but this really wasn’t the case. Li Tian Lin similarly told him in private, if he can’t let him be satisfied, then his position as the heir won’t necessarily be as stable as a mountain either.

Towards her future granddaughter-in-law, Jing Wan was also a bit interested, but she didn’t plan on getting involved in the selection. Regardless of whether the selection was good or not, it all had nothing to do with her. It’s not like she was someone with a strong desire for control and heavy ambitions. In her eyes, it was just the next generation’s own matter. Her responsibility was just towards her two children, and towards her eldest son, unless he was absurdly wrong, otherwise she easily won’t interfere in his matters. And clearly, based on his current state, it wasn’t too possible for this kind of thing to appear. That’s why, towards him, her responsibility for the most part has already been fulfilled. As for Ning Guo, she was still small. In addition to having many people willing to help, in a way, she really didn’t have anything left to do, just an idle ‘old woman’.

Jing Wan’s age has gone up, but her mentality was actually still maintained quite young, just like her body. These two wasn’t necessarily unrelated.

Among these young ladies of suitable age, there were some that were pretty close with Li Tian Lin’s eldest princess. One’s best friend becoming one’s sister-in-law, this kind of thing can also be considered a wonderful story. Just like for example, the current Empress Dowager and the Inner Cabinet Great Scholar Luo’s madam.

However, friendship was just friendship. This wasn’t reason for the eldest princess to give her all to help them. Besides, there can only be one legitimate older sister-in-law. That’s why, the eldest princess voluntarily avoided. During this time period, she all didn’t show her face. This without a doubt was the best choice.

The second princess however wasn’t the same. She was just ten, taking her little aunt Ning Guo, shuffling among the flowers, receiving everyone’s flattery and fawning, and then, afterwards, go back to tell her imperial mother, how this and that person was like, very much a little helper in helping her imperial brother select a consort.

TN: All

Jing Wan helplessly laughed. Each and every one was all clever little tricksters.

As for Ning Guo, it was actually her first time coming in close contact with this many older noble daughters. Of course, at this juncture, each and every one all will want to performance their best, so there was no need to worry about there being bad influences towards Ning Guo. Moreover, Ning Guo was truly lovable, so from beginning to end, she genuinely received quite a few little gifts.

The selection period was also three days, and the routine was also just more or less like back then when Jing Wan was picking a wife for Li Tian Lin.

In the last moment, “Among these noble daughters, which one does Ning Guo like the most?” The empress cheerfully asked.

Actually, everyone was all aware, this was nothing more than just joking. In reality, the candidate for the most part was already decided.

However, for Ning Guo who got asked, she naturally won’t treat it as a joke, seemingly very seriously contemplating. Afterward, she very solemnly pointed to one, and this person was nevertheless beyond everyone’s expectations. In fact they weren’t even in the final selection list.

The entire process, Ning Guo all had people following by her side, and the person she pointed out had indeed came in contact with her before, but Ning Guo had came in contact with a lot of people, and this person didn’t stand out in the slightest. During the process, Ning Guo also didn’t have any special indications towards her, seemingly not even as good as the others. As such, this truly made them astonished.

Jing Wan’s expression slightly flickered, “Why does Ning Guo like her the most?”

Ning Guo wrinkled her little brow, seemingly contemplating how to answer this question, “Ning Guo also doesn’t know, just feel that she’s like family, making one very much like.”

At present, the members that make up the imperial family were actually all very simple, and each one of them all harbored goodwill towards Ning Guo. That’s why, in Ning Guo’s perception, family, to a certain extent, was equal to friendliness. Towards kindness and malice, children seemingly have a natural born instinct, and on this bit, Ning Guo’s senses seemingly were exceptionally strong.

Because her surrounding environment was simply, as such, similar cases have actually happened on Ning Guo before. For instance, she had once clearly expressed that she didn’t like a certain palace maid, and even though that palace maid got along with others very well, knowing the rules, having propriety, they still discovered that this person actually had problems afterwards.

Just, this kind of matter was rare, and moreover, at the time, it was just having the person that Ning Guo didn’t like separated from her.

Additionally, it wasn’t until afterwards that they discover a problem, so no one had the two matters linked together.

Jing Wan right now just thought of this possibility, but exactly whether it was the case or not, they still needed to verify.

“Then Ning Guo, tell imperial mother, those people that your imperial sister-in-law mentioned just now, who do you like, and who do you not like.”

Ning Guo didn’t hesitated in the slightest, and the person she didn’t like the most was actually the person that the empress fancied the most. This time, the empress felt a bit awkward, but she also didn’t argue with Ning Guo.

Jing Wan ignored her, instructing the mama by her side to take Ning Guo out for another stroll, having the people she likes and dislike all recorded down, and the ones that she particularly dislike, specially mark down.

Going for a stroll also wasn’t that big of a deal, returning very quickly. The mama that followed along reported back to Jing Wan in detail.

And hearing the final results, the empress finally came to realization. Those that Ning Guo didn’t like the most, according to the empress’s investigation, had the worst moral character. And the person that she was the most satisfied with, Ning Guo expressed strong dislike. Could it be that……….her heart couldn’t help but violently jump a few times, “This girl was clearly……….” outstanding in all aspects without any flaws.

“You picking a daughter-in-law, I originally shouldn’t meddle in, but these people’s moral character highly overlapped with whether or not Ning Guo liked them. It’s better to believe than to not. After all, this concerns your son’s entire lifetime, and even Qi Yuan’s mountains and rivers. That’s why, being a bit more cautious is very necessary.”

“Imperial mother is right. This daughter-in-law will send someone to carefully investigate again.” The empress’s hands were somewhat shaking, but she very quickly calmed down. In any case, the person hasn’t been decided yet, so it wasn’t too late.

Empress Xie-shi this time directly looked for Li Tian Lin, directly utilizing the imperial family’s secretly trained shadow guards, and the outcome of the investigation made the empress nearly vomit blood.

After Jing Wan saw the results, she unexpectedly thought of a person from a very long time ago——Ruan Fang Fei. These two’s moral conduct was practically the exact same.

Xie-shi held Ning Guo, kissing again and again. The matter this time really was thanks to Ning Guo, else having such a woman brought into the imperial family, in the future, don’t know what will happen. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

Ning Guo was left dumbstruck by Xie-shi’s kisses, to the extent that in the next few days, when seeing Xie-shi, she would all go in another direction. And towards the others, it was all kinds of confusion, “What’s wrong with imperial sister-in-law?”

Although this matter, in the end, didn’t get leaked out, the masters of the imperial family for the most part all knew about it.

Li Hong Yuan looked to his daughter, his gaze all carrying a bit of astonishment.

The crown prince stroked her little head, saying thank you little aunt. Truthfully speaking, not everyone will be as lucky as imperial grandfather, able to encounter a wife that will fully assist oneself, and after obtaining power in hand, also not have any ambitions. He also didn’t believe that he can be like his imperial grandfather, able to grasp everything in hand in all situations. That’s why, it was better to marry a wife similar to imperial mother. And regardless whether it was the empress or the crown prince, they both chose the person that Ning Guo liked the most.

Things once again exceeded everyone’s expectation, and the choice this time also made people completely unable to comprehend.

The eldest princess tightly held Ning Guo, “Little aunt, this niece’s fuma will count on you picking.”

In other words, Ning Guo accidentally just became a human detector, shining brightly for her family’s happiness.

Li Tian Lin even wanted to have Ning Guo brought onto the imperial court, letting her ‘examine’ the court officials. And it goes without saying that this got slapped back by Jing Wan.

Just the imperial court, that kind of place, can there be clean and honest people? Moreover, Ning Guo’s senses was just direct at herself. Perhaps she can distinguish a court official’s moral character, but for officialdom, although moral character was important, it wasn’t the only thing that was important. It can be said that those that were too clean and honest weren’t suited for officialdom.

T/N: NGL, I really wanted to translate the first line as ‘I had you treated as a brother, yet you’re thinking of becoming my uncle’.
