The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 547 - 477: Wei Dingjiang: Honey, Aren’t You Angry?
"They’ve left!"
Wei Wushang noticed his father’s urgency, but he could only give him a disappointing answer.
"Left? How could they have left?"
"How could Mr. Ying leave?"
Wei Dingjiang instantly released his grip on Wei Wushang’s shoulder, as his energy drained away.
"Father!"
Wei Wushang could somewhat guess why his father was feeling this way.
"Mr. Ying said that the world will soon be unified!"
"The Three Kingdoms’ protectors have already reached a consensus."
Wei Wushang roughly explained Ying Li’s intentions.
Unfortunately, Wei Dingjiang was completely uninterested and casually glanced at his son, saying, "What does that have to do with us?"
"It does!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Wei Wushang took a deep breath and said, "Jiaojiao and I discussed it and suggested Mr. Ying make my father-in-law the ruler of the world!"
"That still doesn’t concern us!"
Wei Dingjiang spoke indifferently, "We’re ultimately going to look for your grandfather!"
"Father, we might take some time before we can look for grandfather!"
Wei Wushang looked earnestly at his father, "If my father-in-law truly becomes the ruler of the world, Jiaojiao and I surely must stay to aid him. At least in the short term, we can’t follow you to find grandfather!"
In front of his father, Wei Wushang still had to adhere to convention when referring to Yuan Yindi.
After all, Yuan Bao was nominally under Yuan Yindi’s name.
They could usually ignore this, but in certain situations, such titles and identities must not be mixed up.
Upon hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Wei Dingjiang pondered briefly and said, "That’s indeed what you both should do."
"Father, has mother not come to terms with it yet?"
With the main issue mostly concluded, Wei Wushang looked at Wei Dingjiang, feeling they should have a proper talk.
"It’s not something one can easily come to terms with."
"Who knows who exactly did this?"
"Sigh..."
Wei Dingjiang had a guess, but he didn’t dare be certain.
Or rather, he didn’t dare express his suspicion.
In the capital, within the heavily guarded imperial palace, eliminating the Daxia royalty wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve. In this world, only the protectors of the Three Kingdoms could.
In other words, the deaths of the Fourth Prince and Prince Yi possibly resulted from one of the protectors.
If that were true, then how to avenge this?
If revenge isn’t possible, how can his wife resolve this inner conflict?
"..."
Wei Wushang fell silent upon hearing his father’s words.
Wei Dingjiang had his suspicion, and so did Wei Wushang.
Even Yuan Bao secretly harbored a suspicion.
However, it’s truly impossible to ask about this matter.
Should she go directly to her master and inquire whether it was her who wiped out the Daxia royalty staying in the capital? If Ying Li was indeed responsible, how should Yuan Bao—daughter-in-law to the Eldest Princess—choose?
On one side is her martial arts mentor, and on the other is her own mother-in-law!
Thinking about these matters, Yuan Bao felt immensely uncomfortable.
Feeling like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, both inside and outside a person, it’s genuinely distressing.
Yet this issue is unavoidable.
Yuan Bao can’t avoid this matter; the only thing she can do is hide for now and dodge whenever possible. As long as she doesn’t speak, this issue won’t trouble her for now; she can dodge for however long she can!
...
While Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang awaited the latest news from Ying Li, turbulence once again swept over Daxia.
After Wei Dingjiang’s family departed, the Wei Family split into two factions.
One faction chose to retreat into seclusion, no longer engaging in the affairs of the world.
The other faction, led by Wei Shifeng, chose to re-enter society. Moreover, once they emerged, they swiftly captured Sun Feng, who claimed the throne.
This newly established Great Chu, less than a month old, was overthrown.
Wei Shifeng did not declare himself emperor; instead, he somehow found a prince of Emperor Xia and put him on the throne, reestablishing Daxia.
News reached Wei Dingjiang and Wei Wushang, and both found it somewhat amusing.
They were both sharp-witted; how could they not see that the current emperor was merely Wei Shifeng’s puppet.
Just an act to gather popular support and clear the Wei Family from accusations of treason and rebellion, this puppet emperor appeared.
"This matter must not be let known to your mother!"
Wei Dingjiang looked at Wei Wushang and spoke solemnly.
"Father, you can hide it for a while, but not forever!"
"Rather than letting mother find out later, it’s better to tell her the truth now."
Wei Wushang glanced at his father, feeling his dad was somewhat clueless.
If they tell her now, they are innocent.
If they tell her later, perhaps mother will think they participated in this matter, and by that time, they might bear significant blame.
Trying to appease mother later might require immense effort.
"Is it really like this?"
After Wei Wushang explained the pros and cons, Wei Dingjiang felt uncertain.
In other matters, Wei Dingjiang was decisive. But in matters of children’s emotions, he had a typical straightforward mindset.
Wei Wushang looked at his father in doubt and affirmed with a nod, "Father, you must listen to me on this matter. If anything goes awry, I’ll back you up!"
"Otherwise, I’m telling you, if mother gets upset with you, don’t blame me for not helping!"
Wei Wushang spoke emphatically.
He absolutely didn’t want to be blamed by his mother in the future.
Thus, this matter couldn’t be covered up.
Seeing his son’s firm stance, Wei Dingjiang chose to follow his advice.
"Let’s go see your mother together!"
Although he decided to follow his son’s suggestion, Wei Dingjiang still pulled Wei Wushang along to meet the Eldest Princess.
"When we meet your mother, you explain this issue to her!"
"...?!"
Wei Wushang was rendered speechless by his father’s maneuver.
Well, what a turn of events!
He schemed everywhere to help his father, yet his father was brazenly setting him up.
However, Wei Wushang was still quite bold.
In his view, his reasoning was right, so this visit would likely not upset his mother.
Unlike Wei Wushang’s calm demeanor, Wei Dingjiang was somewhat unsettled.
Thus, Wei Dingjiang found himself taught a lesson.
After the Eldest Princess heard about Wei Wushang’s explanation of the external situation, she merely nodded.
Regarding Wei Shifeng instating one of her nephews as a puppet emperor, the Eldest Princess showed little reaction, naturally not blaming Wei Dingjiang and Wei Wushang.
"Wife, you’re not angry?"
Seeing the Eldest Princess wasn’t reacting impulsively, Wei Dingjiang truly didn’t understand.
