The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 553 - 481: Not Convinced? Swallow It!

"What benefits?"

"Relaxing? Where’s the relaxing?"

Wei Dingjiang was brimming with anger.

Wei Wushang saw his father losing his temper and shook his head, saying, "Father, you’re already so advanced in years, why are you acting like a naive child?"

Although he knew that his father’s anger was due to his feelings, Wei Wushang truly did not advocate for this attitude.

His father’s emotional nature made him overly concerned about the changes among the Wei Family members and unable to let go.

Did Wei Dingjiang not understand these things?

The answer was naturally negative.

No, Wei Dingjiang understood, and very clearly.

This was precisely the hurdle that Wei Dingjiang could not overcome in his heart.

Wei Dingjiang knew what he needed to do to free himself from pain, but if he were to do that, then how would he be any different from the others in the Wei Family?

Why is it that good people always get hurt in this world?

Because good people have principles!

When Wei Wushang realized his father understood everything yet couldn’t let himself off the hook, he stopped wasting words.

If a person chooses to contend with themselves, what can others do?

Someone stubbornly pursues an illogical course, knowing full well they are doing so, yet still unwilling to change—what can others do?

They can only watch.

"What a brat!"

Seeing Wei Wushang cease persuading him, Wei Dingjiang couldn’t help but curse softly.

Compared to the awkwardness between this father and son, Yuan Bao’s interactions with his mother-in-law, the Eldest Princess, were much more harmonious.

The Eldest Princess had long since come to terms with things and naturally didn’t need Yuan Bao to persuade her.

After all, initially, the Eldest Princess was schemed against by her own mother and then ignored by her brother. Those who were considered the closest people in her life treated her this way, so what could she expect from others?

"Mother, do you think we should relocate?"

Yuan Bao, holding onto the Eldest Princess’s arm, spoke softly.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

The Eldest Princess smiled at Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao blinked and said, "How about we spend some time at the estate, away from these troubling matters, and return after everything has settled? What do you think?"

"That’s not bad, very good!"

Thinking of the unpleasant events that might occur, the Eldest Princess found Yuan Bao’s suggestion indeed worthwhile.

The unification of the realms is bound to bring many changes.

If they remained here, the Wei Family certainly wouldn’t be willing to let it go.

This was the opportunity to become the ruler of the world, and the Wei Family members were no pushovers.

With the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reaching consensus, the father and son had no objections.

What? You have thoughts?

It’s fine; the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will go to the estate, and you can stay here!

Faced with the Eldest Princess’s straightforward words, Wei Dingjiang and Wei Wushang naturally dared not have any thoughts.

Moreover, Wei Wushang really had no thoughts at all.

Though Wei Dingjiang spoke toughly about cutting ties with the Wei Family, he was ultimately concerned. But now that three of the family members decided to head to the estate, he had no choice but to submit to the majority.

The four reached an agreement and immediately called their servants to pack their things.

Since they were going to the estate, they naturally needed to leave at once.

Fortunately, the current weather was suitable, neither too hot nor too cold, and didn’t require any special preparations for traveling.

...

While Yuan Bao and his family left gracefully, those remaining in Qianyang City had no such elegance.

Ying Li appeared before them, clearly stating that after the unification of the Three Kingdoms, the emperor role would be assumed by Yuan Yindi.

Upon hearing this news, the Wei Family exploded.

They all expressed dissatisfaction.

The Wei Family served as the cornerstone of Daxia, and given the annihilation of the royal family, the Wei Family should have become the masters of Daxia. Moreover, since Daxia was the strongest among the Three Kingdoms, the future ruler should be a Wei Family member.

In response to their protest, Ying Li chuckled, saying, "Why do you feel discontent?"

"Alright, if you can withstand one of my moves, I will let a member of your Wei Family become the master of the world!"

Hovering in mid-air, Ying Li said to the agitated Wei Family members without haste.

The Wei Family immediately fell silent.

Previously, Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang had rescued them from the Heavenly Prison, and when they left Qianyang City, they had witnessed Ying Li’s technique of slicing open the city gate with a single sword stroke.

Qianyang City was the capital of Daxia, and its city gate, even with a battering ram, wouldn’t break without a full day of fierce assault.

Yet Ying Li cleaved it with a single stroke.

Against such skill, the Wei Family members, even if they attacked together, were nothing but fodder.

"Mr. Ying, your might we genuinely admire, but governance is distinct from martial arts!"

"Do you not consider whether Yuan Wulang is capable of ruling?"

"I haven’t considered it!"

Ying Li chuckled, "Choosing Yuan Yindi is merely due to my disciple’s request."

"If Yuan Yindi cannot serve as emperor and is overthrown, it’s none of my concern!"

With these words from Ying Li, the Wei Family members began scheming.

The Wei Family currently held military power over Daxia, while Yuan Yindi, despite having held the high position of Imperial Censor, lacked deep roots in the court, and having previously resigned for seclusion, would really be a solitary emperor.

"Oh, by the way, my disciple from now on will be the sole Grand Princess of this realm!"

"If anyone angers my disciple, I wouldn’t be happy about it!"

What great strategy, truly great strategy!

Hearing Ying Li’s latter remark, the Wei Family members felt completely played.

Yuan Bao is the Grand Princess, so naturally, Yuan Yindi must be the emperor.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this Grand Princess be pointless?

"Mr. Ying, aren’t you afraid that the Protectors of Beili and Great Yin will be displeased?"

Wei Shifeng was somewhat unwilling to accept.

Once, the Yuan Family were merely his subordinates!

Even now, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan are just generals under his command, but once Yuan Yindi became emperor, wouldn’t Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan likely be ennobled?

He lamented thinking Yuan Yindi was alone, forgetting Yuan Yindi had four elder brothers.

Besides, the Yuan Family also had relatives in Beili and Great Yin.

Reflecting on this, Wei Shifeng suddenly realized that this situation might have been calculated long ago.

"They are all quite satisfied!"

Thinking of his disciple’s unparalleled talent, Ying Li felt optimistic about the future.

And knowing Yuan Bao’s current cultivation realm, the Protectors of Beili and Great Yin held great expectations for Yuan Bao.

Frankly, even if Ying Li felt any dissatisfaction with Yuan Bao, those two would step forward to protect Yuan Bao.

Because, Yuan Bao was their only hope to leave this forgotten realm.

In all their years here, they hadn’t encountered a disciple they valued even slightly—only Yuan Bao, who is practically the unbeatable hand!
