The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 523 - 467: Sudden Upheaval! Does Emperor Xia Want to Destroy the Wei Family? (Part 3)
"Fourth Wife, if you have nothing to say, just keep your mouth shut!"
Mrs. Zeng looked at Mrs. Xiao Li with some dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Xiao Li chuckled lightly and said, "Mother, you don’t still think that little wretch will come back, do you?"
"I’m telling you, this time, Xiao Wu was dragged down by that little wretch!"
"For a jinx, Fifth Brother actually went against His Majesty like that, isn’t this like an old man taking poison?"
"Get out!"
Mrs. Zeng, really not wanting to hear anymore, directly shouted at Mrs. Xiao Li.
"Mother, can’t you tell right from wrong?"
Mrs. Xiao Li, hearing Mrs. Zeng’s roar, remained unbothered, "I’m telling you, if you want to save Fifth Brother, he needs to sever ties with that little wretch!"
"Listen to me, persuade Father to remove that little wretch from the Yuan Family’s genealogy!"
"I told you to get out, didn’t you hear me?"
"Do you really want me to take action to drive you out?"
Mrs. Zeng, furious, picked up the feather duster from the kang.
"Fine, fine, you’re my mother-in-law, I can’t provoke you, but I can avoid you!"
"But I’m telling you, if Fifth Brother’s matters implicate you and Father, you can’t blame us for not helping you!"
As Mrs. Xiao Li walked out, she didn’t forget to issue one last threat to Mrs. Zeng.
"What a sin!"
"How did I end up with such a daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Zeng slapped the kang in anger.
Meanwhile, Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang, lying on the roof, remained silent for a long time, having heard every word of Mrs. Xiao Li clearly.
"Uncle, if you also think I’ve jinxed the Wei Family, why don’t we..."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"
Wei Wushang interrupted Yuan Bao’s words, "You are my rightful wife!"
"Even without you, the Wei Family’s situation wouldn’t be much better."
"In fact, it’s the Wei Family that implicated you!"
Wei Wushang didn’t believe a word of what Mrs. Xiao Li said.
Such talk of fate and fortune, he no longer believed a word of it.
Back then, the name of him being a wife-jinx was spread across the land, only to find out it was all orchestrated by his grandmother in secret.
"Uncle, even Xiao Wu was captured, who should we seek for information?"
"Let’s go find Wanwan!"
Wei Wushang took a deep breath, "Wanwan is the Eldest Princess’s cherished one. Unless the Emperor wants to break with the Eldest Princess, he absolutely wouldn’t capture her."
"Then, let’s go!"
Yuan Bao immediately left the Yuan Family Mansion with Wei Wushang, heading straight for the Capital.
After Yuan Yindi was captured, Ruan Wan would most likely take her two sons back to her family home.
In fact, Ruan Wan did return to her family home.
Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang easily found Ruan Wan, who was washing her face with tears, while Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun, the two brothers, were sleeping soundly.
"Sister Ruan!"
As Yuan Bao’s voice rang out, Ruan Wan, secretly wiping tears, suddenly widened her eyes.
Upon seeing Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang appear, Ruan Wan’s face instantly lit up with joy.
"Jiaojiao, you’re back!"
"Sister Ruan, I’m sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused you!"
"Wanwan, what exactly happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly take action against the Wei Family? And why didn’t the Wei Family resist at all?"
Upon seeing Ruan Wan, Yuan Bao first apologized, while Wei Wushang cut straight to the point, asking what had happened.
Ruan Wan pressed her lips together and said, "I don’t know what happened either. It’s just that day, Fifth Brother suddenly came to me and said that the skies of Daxia were changing!"
"Then, people from the Sound Listening Bureau barged in and took Fifth Brother away!"
"Afterwards, I heard news of the Wei Family being in trouble."
"As for what exactly happened, I really don’t know!"
Ruan Wan had an apologetic look.
She really wanted to help Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang, but unfortunately, she didn’t know what had occurred.
"These days, I’ve been trying to find out what happened, but my mother told me not to ask around futilely!"
"My grandmother also told me to stay quietly at home, and that when the time comes, Fifth Brother would be released naturally!"
Ruan Wan sighed, "Since then, I’ve been staying at home, unable to even go out!"
"It seems we need to go ask the Eldest Princess for advice!"
Yuan Bao looked at Wei Wushang, already knowing what they needed to do next.
This matter seems to be very significant.
If this is just a scheme, then the Wei Family’s sacrifice is far too great. Solely those Wei Family women who were sent back home, their entire lives have been ruined.
"We’ll go together!"
Wei Wushang’s expression grew heavier.
Since even Ruan Wan didn’t know what had transpired, it meant this matter was definitely of great importance.
Previously, his grandfather suddenly disappeared, and now, the family faced the calamity of extermination. If Wei Wushang still didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and smother himself with it.
