The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 497 - 457: Mr. Wei’s Arrangements

"Our Wei Family, the relationship with the Daxia royal family, you all are aware of it by now, right?"

Wei Huo’s gaze swept over Wei Wushang before finally resting on Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao, having just married Wei Wushang and being young, was a nominal wife with no true marital experiences. Mr. Wei wasn’t sure if Yuan Bao was already aware of these matters.

"Grandfather, your granddaughter-in-law knows a bit!"

Wei Wushang had talked to Yuan Bao about the relationship between the Wei Family and the royal family; at the time, Yuan Bao was quite shocked. However, once she understood, it didn’t surprise her as much.

Now, with Wei Huo suddenly bringing it up, Yuan Bao was a bit curious.

After all, as the stabilizing force of the Wei Family, Wei Huo wouldn’t bring up such matters without reason.

Yuan Bao looked curiously at Wei Huo, also wondering what Wei Huo’s sudden mention of this meant, perhaps advising them to keep the big picture in mind and not to bicker with the Empress Dowager?

After all, not long ago, Emperor Xia had been here.

The purpose of Emperor Xia’s visit was self-evident.

"It’s good that you know, it’s good that you know!"

Hearing Yuan Bao’s answer, Wei Huo’s expression was gentle.

His gaze returned to Wei Wushang’s face, looking quite satisfied.

"This time, with the Empress Dowager’s scheme against the two of you, His Majesty the Emperor came, hoping you can turn big matters into small ones, and small ones into nothing, after all, the Empress Dowager is Wushang’s biological grandmother."

"In normal circumstances, you two would have to swallow the humiliation quietly."

"However, Wushang is my Wei Family’s eldest grandson, and a scheme against Wushang is a scheme against my Wei Family. So, I did not agree when Emperor Xia came to mediate this time."

"Grandfather, you...?!"

Hearing his grandfather speak this way, Wei Wushang was dumbfounded.

Although the Wei Family can be on par with the royal family in terms of power, in actuality, the Wei Family lacks the moral high ground. If the Wei Family really contended with the royal family, the Wei Family would ultimately lose.

Of course, even if the Wei Family lost, the royal family wouldn’t fare well either.

By then, Daxia might face the calamity of national destruction.

The reason why the Daxia royal family tolerates the existence of a family like the Wei Family is partly due to the founding forefather’s strategy of thriving in adversity and perishing in comfort. Another reason is that the existence of the Wei Family ensures Daxia’s strength.

"You brat, some things must be done by someone!"

"Today, the Empress Dowager can plot against you; tomorrow, she can plot against your father!"

"To be precise, she initially plotted against your father!"

"The reason your mother could marry your father is because the Empress Dowager thought your mother’s health was compromised and she might not bear children."

"In this way, the eldest line of the Wei Family would be cut off."

"Is there such a thing?"

Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao were dumbfounded when they heard Mr. Wei reveal this situation.

They had speculated about the Empress Dowager’s thoughts, but they didn’t expect she had begun her scheming so early on.

"Grandfather, then how do you intend to resolve this matter in the end?"

Wei Wushang looked towards Mr. Wei, very curious about this question.

The Wei Family certainly has the strength to contend with the royal family, but if such contention continues, both sides would be harmed. For such a minor matter to escalate to mutual destruction, and even Daxia’s downfall, is it worth it?

"Foolish boy, some things cannot be measured by such standards."

"In a lifetime, some things are worth doing, and some are not worth doing."

Mr. Wei spoke lightly.

But Wei Wushang’s expression was very serious, and he said, "Grandfather, the Empress Dowager is my grandmother after all, my mother’s biological mother. If we press on like this, what about my mother?"

"She is angry now, but once she calms down, once she gets over it, she will surely be upset. At that time, my mother will definitely be very sad."

"Grandson doesn’t want my mother to be upset!"

Wei Wushang looked earnestly at his grandfather.

This matter, it is indeed the fault of his grandmother.

But he truly could not take action against his own grandparents.

"I understand your thoughts!"

"That’s why I called you both over!"

How could Wei Huo be the kind of grandfather who disregards feelings?

Though he often wore a stern face in front of others, at heart, he was an old man who deeply understood how to consider for his descendants.

In this matter, Wei Wushang is caught in the middle, between family affection on one side, and family duty on the other, making it the hardest decision to make.

Regardless of his status as the family heir, he had to face such a difficult choice.
