The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 526 - 468: The Old Master, Truly a Divine Man! (Part 3)
"Jiaojiao, what do you think Grandfather is really thinking?"
Wei Wushang looked at Yuan Bao, his expression heavy.
"Previously, Grandfather told me that he and Uncle Emperor set a trap together to involve Great Yin and Beili. But he never mentioned he would put the entire Wei Family on the line!"
"Grandfather told me, ’To seize something, one must give first. At least, make the other party believe they’ve gotten what they want, make them think they’ve gotten what they want, make them think...’"
Wei Wushang repeated what his grandfather once said over and over, his eyes growing brighter.
"Jiaojiao, I think I understand!"
Wei Wushang suddenly looked up at Yuan Bao, "I think I understand what Grandfather meant!"
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Bao looked at Wei Wushang in astonishment, recalling the words Wei Wushang had just repeated. Yuan Bao had a vague suspicion in her heart. If her suspicion was correct, then she could only say that Mr. Wei was truly extraordinary!
The old man bet the entire Wei Family, providing Emperor Xia an opportunity that seemed capable of obliterating the Wei Family with a single sentence.
So, what choice would Emperor Xia make?
If Emperor Xia chose to destroy the Wei Family, he would fall into Mr. Wei’s calculations.
By then, Emperor Xia’s outcome would definitely be tragic.
The only thing Yuan Bao couldn’t understand was, on what basis was Mr. Wei so confident he could turn the tables?
According to the current trend, those families related by marriage to the Wei Family all chose to divorce, completely jumping off the ship of the Wei Family. So, how would others choose?
For the sake of righteousness, stay on the sinking ship of the Wei Family and perish with them?
This, no matter how you think about it, seems unreliable.
The ancients valued loyalty and righteousness, but they also believed in choosing the right tree for a good bird to perch on, and that a wise man recognizes the times.
If the Wei Family was destined for destruction, there likely wouldn’t be many willing to follow them into ruin.
So, what was the old man’s confidence based on?
The Hanhai Countries?
Or perhaps the Competition Law? A new ruler?
Within a short moment, Yuan Bao’s mind turned a thousand times.
Wei Wushang did not know Yuan Bao had thought through so much in such a brief time; he revealed his guess unhurriedly.
It matched Yuan Bao’s guess.
"Uncle, on what grounds does Grandfather believe he can turn the tide at the last moment?"
"Isn’t he afraid of failing?"
By putting all the Wei Family members on the betting table, if they win, everything would be fine. But if they lose, it would be the end of the clan.
"That, I don’t know!"
Wei Wushang smiled bitterly, "I can only guess that Grandfather deliberately made Uncle Emperor think the Wei Family could be manipulated at his will."
"As for what Grandfather relies on to turn the tables, I can’t think of it!"
Wei Wushang felt like he was truly a bit useless as the heir to the Wei Family.
For such an important matter, he hadn’t received any news beforehand, and even the family didn’t give him any hints.
"I feel like I’m a redundant addition!"
At this moment, Wei Wushang’s mood was really not good.
The minor matters at home, he didn’t need to know.
And the major matters, he seemed unqualified to know.
"Uncle, you’re overthinking it!"
Seeing Wei Wushang’s sad expression, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but laugh, "Maybe even Mom and Dad don’t know what’s happening!"
"Impossible!"
Wei Wushang shook his head vigorously, "If Mom and Dad knew nothing, they wouldn’t obediently allow themselves to be locked up in the Heavenly Prison."
"Oh!"
Yuan Bao thought for a moment and realized that seemed to be the case.
If the Wei Family members knew nothing, how could they all willingly surrender when Emperor Xia decided to act against them?
The Wei Family could rival the royal family, becoming a Damocles’ sword hanging over Emperor Xia’s head; it couldn’t be so easily captured by him.
"Uncle, maybe Grandfather needs you to know nothing!"
"What do you mean?"
Wei Wushang was taken aback by Yuan Bao’s words.
And Yuan Bao was also stunned after saying those words.
If the old man indeed wanted them to know nothing, then everything made sense.
Her identity, the fact her master was Ying Li, the old man definitely knew.
Knowing that the Wei Family would encounter trouble, she would surely not stand idly by.
Then, she would ultimately seek her master.
And what her master meant to Daxia, ordinary people might not know, but Mr. Wei definitely did.
Therefore, the reason Mr. Wei wasn’t worried about failure was not because he had a perfect backup plan.
But she was the backup plan!
Realizing this, Yuan Bao instinctively felt a cold sweat on her forehead.
The old man, what kind of a monstrous figure was he?
With such cunning, it was no wonder he could become the Great General of Daxia. Who could withstand such demonic tactics?
Wait a minute!
Yuan Bao squinted her eyes, no, that’s not it!
She wasn’t the only backup plan!
Because, the Wei Family’s ancestral teachings were about controlling one’s own destiny and life.
Mr. Wei certainly had other backup plans, and this backup plan was the real decisive one!
