The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 546 - 476: A Dilemma (Part 3)

Yuan Bao spoke decisively.

She is not one to speak empty words; if she says she will do something, she will undoubtedly do it.

A person without trust cannot be established!

"You girl, this temper of yours, fine, I’ll go speak to him!"

Ying Li came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

...

After Ying Li left, Yuan Bao went to see Wei Wushang and recounted the matter of Ying Li’s visit.

"Uncle Wushang, I’ve asked Master to give the throne to you. You don’t have any objections, do you?"

"No objections!"

Wei Wushang was very candid.

Indeed, he really had no objections.

The throne, he wasn’t interested in it.

Most importantly, Yuan Bao was destined to leave.

If the throne were given to his father, then he would become Crown Prince; when Yuan Bao leaves, could he just stay behind?

Or, if he left with her, then who would inherit the position of Crown Prince? Would his cousins take it?

Though some Wei Family members did stand by their family when targeted before, they were in the minority. Once he leaves, with his parents remaining, if the world ultimately falls into the hands of other Wei Family members, these people might turn against them.

"Uncle Wushang, about Dad and Mom, could you go speak to them?"

Having settled Wei Wushang, Yuan Bao then naturally shifted the responsibility of persuading Wei Dingjiang and the Eldest Princess onto him.

"Jiaojiao, there’s a question!"

Wei Wushang looked at Yuan Bao, took a deep breath, and spoke softly, "Who exactly killed the Fourth Prince and Prince Yi, along with the Daxia royalty remaining in the Capital?"

"I... don’t know!"

Hearing Wei Wushang’s inquiry, Yuan Bao shook her head, "I forgot to ask Master!"

"..."

Wei Wushang was instantly dumbfounded by Yuan Bao’s answer.

"Jiaojiao, this question, if Mother asks, she’s almost certainly going to ask!"

"Then, how about I ask Master next time I see him?"

Yuan Bao was quite frustrated too, wondering how she could’ve forgotten to ask.

Alright, she had considered asking Ying Li during their conversation but ultimately didn’t. She was afraid to hear Ying Li admit he was the one who acted.

The Fourth Prince was the Eldest Princess’s direct nephew, and Prince Yi was her uncle. Many other royals were blood relatives of the Eldest Princess.

If Ying Li really killed these people, the Eldest Princess would become enemies with him.

Yuan Bao, caught between them, would be just like Zhu Bajie looking into a mirror, in an awkward position from both sides.

Therefore, Yuan Bao ultimately didn’t voice this question.

"This matter, let me ask Mother about it!"

Wei Wushang sighed, understanding Yuan Bao’s dilemma.

But this issue had to be addressed.

Not asking would leave things in confusion, and his mother might never find solace.

But if they asked and Ying Li was indeed the culprit, how could Yuan Bao face his mother? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Wei Wushang found himself in a predicament too.

On one side was his mother, and on the other, his legitimate wife.

"Uncle Wushang, I’m sorry!"

Yuan Bao was genuinely feeling guilty.

Wei Wushang waved his hand and said, "It’s not your fault. Why apologize to me? This issue, sigh, I suddenly realize we’re both quite troubled!"

Yuan Bao smiled at seeing Wei Wushang’s embarrassed look.

Indeed, they were both in similar predicaments.

Both caught in the middle!

"Uncle Wushang, why don’t we go see Mother together?"

It’s the same distress whether you face or avoid it.

What’s meant to come can’t be avoided!

Yuan Bao also decided to face it head-on; since this issue had come to light, she had no choice but to confront it.

As for everything else, leave it to fate!

Wei Wushang saw Yuan Bao’s resolute demeanor, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, let’s go together!"

If it’s a blessing, not a calamity; if a calamity, it cannot be avoided. What is destined to come, will come!

So, the two quickly set off to see the Eldest Princess.

Since the news arrived of the Daxia royalty in the Capital being wiped out, the Eldest Princess had not shown her usual smile.

Despite the falling out with the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xia over their schemes, the Eldest Princess still held deep feelings for them and the Daxia royalty.

"Father, how is Mother?"

When Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao arrived to see the Eldest Princess, they met Wei Dingjiang outside.

"She just fell asleep!"

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law approach, Wei Dingjiang appeared quite concerned.

"Father, there is an issue we are unsure about and wish to seek your opinion!"

Upon hearing of his mother’s recent sleep, Wei Wushang thought briefly and decided to report the situation to his father first to discuss a plan.

"What is it?"

Wei Dingjiang scrutinized Wei Wushang, "You two aren’t planning to stay in Daxia, are you?"

Although Sun Feng had renamed the kingdom Chu, Wei Dingjiang only recognized Daxia.

"Father, it’s like this!"

"Just now, Jiaojiao’s Master, which is Mr. Ying, paid us a visit!"

As soon as Wei Wushang spoke, Wei Dingjiang abruptly stood up, grabbing Wei Wushang’s shoulder and asking, "Where is Mr. Ying?"
