The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 507 - 462: Only Reconciliation, Never as Before (Part 2)

Chapter 507: Chapter 462: Only Reconciliation, Never as Before (Part 2)

Wei Huo looked at Wei Dingjiang displeased, "Do you think the words I just said to your brother-in-law were just for show?"

"A gentleman says what he means, and his words are as good as a nail!"

"Besides, our Wei Family has been managing in the Hanhai Desert for so many years; it’s time to do something extraordinary."

"Dad, are you suggesting that we make a move to become the King in the Hanhai Desert?"

There are many countries in the Hanhai Desert, but none have large territories.

The monarchs of these small countries neither call themselves emperors nor kings.

Their monarchs are either called kings or called rulers.

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Upon hearing Mr. Wei Huo’s retort, Wei Dingjiang instantly burst into a sly smile.

Although the countries in the Hanhai Desert are small, they are still real countries.

Being a ruler, although not as grand as an emperor, means being the utmost authority in that country.

The feeling of being above everyone is somewhat delightful to think about.

"Dad, how about I accompany you on this venture!"

"As for the Capital, leave it to Wushang and his wife!"

Wei Dingjiang smirked slyly, "Think about it, my mother-in-law did something unfair to that couple, and the Emperor, being their uncle, wouldn’t he have to compensate them well?"

"Makes sense!"

After hearing his eldest son’s words, Wei Huo nodded thoughtfully.

But just as Wei Dingjiang thought he’d successfully persuaded his old man, he was unfortunately kicked by Mr. Wei.

"Hey, hey, Dad, a gentleman argues with words, not fists!"

"If you have any grievances, just say it. Why resort to physical action?"

After taking a kick, Wei Dingjiang quickly distanced himself from his old man.

"You brat, how dare you dodge?"

"Get over here and let me kick you twice!"

"No way!"

Wei Dingjiang wasn’t very obedient, looking at the old man from afar, "I’m not stupid. Why would I get closer to be kicked?"

"Is that so?"

Wei Huo chuckled, "Then, should I tell my daughter-in-law about your little childhood sweetheart?"

"Dad, why are you behaving dishonorably?"

On hearing his father’s threat, Wei Dingjiang instantly became docile.

Once Mr. Wei kicked Wei Dingjiang twice and felt satisfied, Wei Dingjiang finally escaped his clutches.

"Do you now know how to speak?"

After kicking his son twice, Wei Huo also felt a sense of relief.

Despite acting generously in front of the Emperor Xia, deep down, Wei Huo still felt somewhat reluctant.

Clearly, they were the ones on the justified side, yet now, he had to bear the consequences of these misfortunes.

Did Wei Huo harbor any resentment?

The answer is undoubtedly yes! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Unless one is a true sage, indifferent to material joys or personal sorrows, anyone with feelings would harbor resentment.

Those sayings about a sovereign demanding a subject’s death, and the subject having to comply, are nonsense.

"Dad, do you think, once you step down, my brother-in-law would truly hold no grudge?"

Wei Dingjiang stopped bantering with Wei Huo and seriously analyzed the situation at hand.

"There’s a 90% chance he holds no grudges, but the remaining 10% is when he seizes an opportunity to deliver a harsh blow to our Wei Family!"

The Emperor Xia is not an ordinary person.

He ascended the throne as a young man and, under Wei Huo’s tutelage, has long mastered the political arena and understands that patience is needed to achieve great things.

To speak impartially, Emperor Xia is indeed wise and insightful, but at the same time, he is an emperor who knows how to endure, seize the opportunity, and strike when the time is right.

If Emperor Xia truly harbors resentment over this matter, when his revenge comes, it will undoubtedly put the Wei Family on the brink of annihilation.

Similarly, if Emperor Xia is not fully confident in destroying the Wei Family, he generally won’t take action.

Because once he does, if he fails to destroy the Wei Family, he would have to face retaliation from the Wei Family.

The Wei Family’s descendants are spread throughout Daxia, controlling more than half of Daxia’s military power.

Most importantly, the Wei Family’s descendants have been stationed locally for many years and hold a high position in the hearts of the people.

If Emperor Xia wants to take action, he must deliver a thunderous strike.

Wei Huo could see this, and Wei Dingjiang could naturally see it too.

Similarly, Emperor Xia in the palace could see it.

...

After Wei Huo and Wei Dingjiang left the palace, Emperor Xia looked at the eunuch director Chen Lian standing by.
