The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 498 - 457: Mr. Wei’s Arrangements (Part 2)

Chapter 498: Chapter 457: Mr. Wei’s Arrangements (Part 2)

If there’s no elder in the Wei Family to hold the fort ahead, Wei Wushang must make a choice. But now, with an elder in front, it’s not Wei Wushang’s turn to jump out.

"West of Daxia is a vast Hanhai Desert."

"But within this Hanhai Desert, there are many oases. The oases vary in size, and many people live there, with many large and small nations!"

"Over the years, our Wei Family has always been strategizing this Hanhai Desert area."

"This matter is not suitable for the two of you to get involved. It’s perfect for you to take advantage of your honeymoon and go west to have a look around!"

"Especially you, the future of the Wei Family is ultimately to be handed over to you. If Daxia truly has no place for the Wei Family, then the Hanhai land will be the Wei Family’s retreat."

"So, you need to watch more, listen more, and think more!"

"Grandson understands!"

After listening to his grandfather’s advice, although Wei Wushang had many questions, in the end, he didn’t ask anything but respectfully accepted Mr. Wei’s instructions.

In fact, whether it was Wei Wushang or Yuan Bao, they both wanted to say that although the Empress’s actions were improper, the Empress’s deeds did not actually cause any adverse effects, so there was no need to be so petty.

However, neither of them spoke up.

This matter might not be a big deal to them, but for the Wei Family, they couldn’t remain unresponsive.

The Wei Family is not a small family that can be easily manipulated.

The Empress’s malicious intent is aimed at destroying the Wei Family. If the Empress’s conspiracy succeeds, the Wei Family could truly face disintegration as a consequence.

Solely for this point, even if it’s a kinship, Wei Huo must clarify this matter.

Wei Huo does not believe that Emperor Xia doesn’t understand the importance of the Wei Family to Daxia.

Although the Empress’s actions seemed to target the Wei Family, if her plans succeeded, Wei Family would be finished, and the downfall of Daxia wouldn’t be far off.

The Wei Family and Daxia share a relationship of interdependent fates.

The Empress’s actions are undermining the foundation of Daxia.

The current Emperor Xia, diligent and dedicated, respects and employs talented people, and is approachable. As far as governance goes, Emperor Xia is undoubtedly an outstanding ruler.

But in handling this matter, Wei Huo was displeased.

He clearly explained all the reasons to Emperor Xia, but regretfully, Emperor Xia still chose the Empress.

Motherly kindness and filial piety!

Regarding Emperor Xia’s choice, Wei Huo naturally looks down upon it.

Of course, Wei Huo does not insist that Emperor Xia do something against the Empress, but Emperor Xia’s manner of handling everything for the Empress is something Mr. Wei seriously disapproves of.

Why does the Empress dare to do this?

Why does she dare to plot against the Wei Family, knowing its importance to Daxia? Isn’t it because she’s relying on Emperor Xia, her son?

If the Empress were not the Empress, but just an ordinary consort in the palace, would she dare to act this way?

She wouldn’t dare!

More importantly, if she wasn’t the Empress, even if she wanted to plot against the Wei Family, she wouldn’t have the capacity to do so.

Now that her misconduct has been discovered, she presents herself as repentant, but who believes that?

No matter if others believe it or not, this old man certainly doesn’t.

Back then, the Empress’s father served as a vanguard under him, was self-opinionated and often disregarded his military orders. If it weren’t for the fact that his daughter was the Empress, Wei Huo would have long executed that fool.

Later, that fool disregarded military orders, got surrounded, and eventually died in battle.

We can only say he deserved to die.

But who would have thought that the Empress kept this matter in mind all along?

"Daxia, Daxia!"

After Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao left, Wei Huo walked out of the room, stood in the courtyard, looked at the blue sky above, and sighed deeply.

Their Wei Family has been a first-class noble family since the founding of Daxia.

In tandem with the royal family.

Because the ancestors of the Wei Family and the first emperor of Daxia were sworn brothers, bound by life and death. It was their joint efforts that laid the foundation of present-day Daxia.

All along, the Wei Family and the royal family have mutually supported each other, competed against each other, and restrained each other, enabling Daxia to prosper steadily, not like the surrounding countries where the nation invariably suffers if the emperor is foolish.

But now, the centuries-long honeymoon between the Wei Family and the royal family seems to be coming to an end!

If possible, Wei Huo doesn’t want to reach this point.

But now, circumstances are beyond his control!

The high Empress, if she wants to plot against the Wei Family, even if she misses this opportunity, there will be many more chances later.

This woman uses even her own daughter as a pawn to plot against them.

With such a mentality, how can Wei Huo believe she will change?

Most importantly, the Wei Family has long had ancestral teachings that the future should be in their own hands. They cannot place the clan’s future on anyone else’s feelings!

Counting on a foe to lay down arms?

Might as well hope for heavenly intervention!

"Master!"

While Wei Huo was standing in the courtyard facing the cold wind, someone appeared in the courtyard and knelt respectfully before Wei Huo.

"Stand up at once!"

Wei Huo looked at the person and spoke urgently, "How many times have I told you, don’t kneel, don’t kneel, men should kneel only to heaven and their parents!"

"Master, you are my reborn parent, kneeling to you is what we gladly do!"

"What nonsense are you talking?"

Wei Huo glared, "My descendants don’t kneel to me during holidays, what are you doing here?"

"I’ll say it one last time, if you keep acting this way, I won’t call for you anymore in the future!"

These words are undeniably threatening.

The person kneeling on the ground immediately stood up upon hearing them, beaming with a smile, and said, "Master, if you say that, I really don’t like it!"
