The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 481 - 443: Brimming with Confidence, Wei Wushang
"They’re all geniuses!"
Yuan Bao was genuinely astonished by the wisdom and methods of the ancients.
Mu Lin’s contact in the shadows was also a beggar.
Moreover, from Mei Jiu’s observations, this person had not been posing as a beggar for just a day or two. With such a scruffy appearance, no one would believe he wasn’t a beggar.
Mu Lin had laid such a piece early on, which meant that his disguise as a beggar was part of a long-standing plan.
Of course, this planning likely wasn’t the only scheme.
Plan and then act!
No wonder the ancients left such idioms; it turns out it was a habit of theirs. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Uncle, I think we must not underestimate Mu Lin."
Even though Yuan Bao had only seen a glimpse of Mu Lin’s tactics, she was already shocked.
This person being able to calculate to such an extent meant that from the moment Mu Lin targeted the Wei Family, he had prepared numerous plans. The seduction strategy aimed at Wei Qiqi was one approach if successful, and another if failed.
Consider loss even before victory!
At this point, Yuan Bao had to admit her admiration for Mu Lin.
"I understand!"
Wei Wushang smiled gently, staying remarkably calm.
"Uncle, I’m speaking seriously!"
Yuan Bao looked at Wei Wushang, "If you ask me, we should just get rid of him outright!"
"Even if Great Yin sends someone again, so what?"
"The one they send next might not be as capable as Mu Lin!"
Yuan Bao was quite apprehensive about Mu Lin now.
Her instincts told her that if Mu Lin continued to stir things up here, heaven knows what chaos he might cause.
After all, Sheng Xueyi held Mu Lin in high esteem.
Previously, Yuan Bao thought Mu Lin’s reputation was unearned, but now she realized she had severely underestimated his capabilities.
"Indeed!"
After listening to Yuan Bao, Wei Wushang nodded, "Mu Lin is indeed no ordinary person. But if he were incompetent, Great Yin wouldn’t back him much."
"Since we’re fishing, we must aim for big fish!"
Looking at Yuan Bao, Wei Wushang spoke calmly.
He knew perfectly well that Mu Lin was not simple.
If Mu Lin were ordinary, why would he let him go and play a long game to catch the big fish?
Hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Yuan Bao fell silent.
After some thought, Yuan Bao recognized a truth; she was just an ordinary person.
Though she had transmigrated, had significant fortune, and possessed Sheng Xueyi’s space, she was fundamentally still an ordinary person.
So what if she’s a transmigrator?
In this world full of cunning people, her foresight was indeed advanced, but it couldn’t change her inherent nature.
Ultimately, she was an ordinary girl.
For the same matter, the solutions she could think of might not be smarter than others’.
In that moment, Yuan Bao felt deeply hurt.
Prior to this, she had always felt a strong sense of superiority.
But now, she was utterly crushed!
"Jiaojiao, are you alright?"
Seeing Yuan Bao’s odd expression, Wei Wushang was perplexed, not understanding why Yuan Bao had suddenly become like this.
"Ah!"
"I’m fine!"
Startled by Wei Wushang, Yuan Bao quickly replied.
"Really fine?"
"If there’s anything, tell me!"
"I can still give you some advice!"
Wei Wushang didn’t believe Yuan Bao’s words.
If nothing was wrong, Yuan Bao wouldn’t have that expression.
Yuan Bao shrugged, saying, "It’s just, I oversimplified things!"
"Ah!"
Wei Wushang laughed, "You’re still young; these things are just new to you. After more experience, you’ll understand."
"Mm-hmm!"
Yuan Bao nodded vigorously in response.
In truth, she didn’t know if she would ever understand.
People often say, "It’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one’s nature."
As a transmigrator, she had her pre-transmigration thought patterns. Were thought habits formed over twenty-odd years so easily changed?
Yuan Bao couldn’t help but think of the already deceased Sheng Xueyi.
Sheng Xueyi was also a transmigrator.
And then, she died!
Only to be reborn!
Transmigration, rebirth, and possessing space!
Such a person is undoubtedly the main character.
But what was the outcome?
Sheng Xueyi thought her rebirth had changed many things, but in the end, she still succumbed to this era’s privileges.
Even after dying once, Sheng Xueyi couldn’t fully integrate into this era.
Could she?
Yuan Bao didn’t know the answer, but she was definitely lacking confidence in herself.
Yet these thoughts couldn’t be shared with anyone.
The matter of transmigration was too fantastical.
Yuan Bao dared not speak of it to anyone.
Not even to the very caring Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this secret would likely accompany her to the grave.
"Girl, don’t overthink, these matters shouldn’t trouble you!"
"I’ve got it all covered!"
Wei Wushang gently tapped Yuan Bao’s forehead, "In our Wei Family, it’s the men who bear the burdens."
"Moreover, with someone like Mu Lin, if he remained in the shadows, I’d be cautious. But now that he’s in the open, no matter his schemes, they have lost their significance."
As the future leader of the Wei Family, Wei Wushang had this confidence.
If he couldn’t even handle Mu Lin, what made him think he could steer the great ship of the Wei Family through the stormy seas?
Seeing Wei Wushang’s confident demeanor, Yuan Bao raised her hand to scratch her head, saying, "Uncle, I understand!"
She was just an ordinary girl!
Indeed blessed with good fortune and a golden finger, with many people favoring her, why should she trouble herself?
She was not omnipotent.
If not for that, how could she, once the darling of the Yuan Family, have come this far?
Everyone had their own ideas.
She was not the center of the world.
After realizing this, Yuan Bao felt truly at ease.
...
The days that followed became much more relaxed for Yuan Bao.
The reason people are troubled is simply because they think too much.
Of course, Mei Jiu continued to shadow Mu Lin, reporting Mu Lin’s activities to Yuan Bao daily.
Just as Yuan Bao had anticipated, when Yunyang City’s governor Zuo Zhikang began to clear out the beggars from the city, Mu Lin indeed entered the governor’s office as a minor official.
Amazingly, even with the grime washed from his face, Mu Lin’s appearance changed significantly.
If not for Mei Jiu keeping a constant watch, Yuan Bao might not have recognized Mu Lin upon seeing him again.
His methods were truly remarkable.
However, Wei Wushang was no ordinary person, either.
Through Mei Jiu’s surveillance, it was discovered that at some point, Mu Lin’s contact had already been subverted by Wei Wushang.
Though this person continued to liaise with Mu Lin, they turned around and betrayed Mu Lin completely.
