The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 509 - 463: Bearing It All Alone?

"What do you know?!"

Upon hearing Wei Dingjiang’s words, Wei Huo’s face turned cold, "If I don’t leave, do you think the Emperor would really restart the Competition Law? Even if he does, do you think he has any intention of being fair?"

"This..."

Wei Dingjiang fell silent.

From start to finish, he hadn’t thought of this as being so serious.

Although the Empress Dowager was his mother-in-law, Wei Dingjiang didn’t actually have a good relationship with her. With the Empress Dowager passing away, Wei Dingjiang honestly didn’t feel much.

Yeah, just like an old lady who had nothing to do with him!

Upon discovering that the Empress Dowager schemed against his son and daughter-in-law, Wei Dingjiang grew increasingly less fond of this mother-in-law.

Of course, even so, Wei Dingjiang didn’t plan to do anything against the Empress Dowager, at most, he would just let it be and have no interaction.

But who could’ve thought that even before they, as the victims, could do anything, the Empress Dowager had already taken drastic action.

"This time when I go to the Hanhai Desert, I’ll bring Wushang and his wife."

"The issue with the Empress Dowager, you could say they are the catalyst!"

"If the couple continues to stay in the Capital, who knows what might happen."

As a veteran of three dynasties, Wei Huo’s experience far surpassed Wei Dingjiang’s.

He saw issues more deeply and had a better foresight than Wei Dingjiang.

"Father, how long do you intend to stay there?"

Wei Dingjiang realized the old man’s decision was made, so he didn’t try to dissuade him. However, he didn’t want his father to take his only son and daughter-in-law away for many years.

He didn’t care himself, after all, a son is unnecessary, a wife is the most important.

But just because he doesn’t care about his son doesn’t mean his wife doesn’t.

If his wife missed her son and daughter-in-law and suddenly wanted to visit the Hanhai Desert, what would he do?

"Well, as quickly as three to five years, as long as ten to eight years!"

Wei Huo really didn’t know how much time this trip would take.

The Wei Family had been strategically planning in the Hanhai Desert for a very long time, and over the years, they’ve occupied several small countries. But these countries are too small, and have very few people.

Even if these small countries united, they wouldn’t compare to one province of Daxia.

The Hanhai Desert, as the Wei Family’s retreat, could be considered slowly in the past, but now, with such an incident, they had to speed up the pace.

As for competing with the Daxia royal family for Daxia?

Unless the royal family acts without principle, otherwise, the Wei Family definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.

If there were internal conflicts in Daxia, it would surely pain those close and delight their enemies.

"Father, how about you take us with you!"

Upon hearing that his father would be gone for so long, Wei Dingjiang wasn’t pleased.

"Keep dreaming!"

Wei Huo snorted, "Once we leave, the Wei Family will be entrusted to you. As the head of the Wei Family, it’s time for you to take responsibility!"

"In the future, big matters and small matters alike will need you to handle them."

"Whether right or wrong, you’ll need to bear the consequences yourself."

"Think deeply about everything."

"If you really can’t make a decision, consult with the family."

"Father!"

Wei Dingjiang was always the carefree type, although he had taken over as head of the Wei Family, he could handle things on his own. But because his father was alive, Wei Dingjiang always had confidence in what he did. Occasionally when he got into trouble, his father would clean up the mess.

Now, with his father leaving for the Hanhai Desert, if Wei Dingjiang ran into any trouble, he could only handle it himself.

Having someone to rely on versus having no one to rely on are two entirely different situations.

"Alright, father believes in you, you can definitely do it!"

"I..."

Wei Dingjiang wanted to say that he didn’t believe in himself.

However, he understood in his heart that his father’s decision to leave was already made.

Similarly, the Wei Family entering into his era was also an unchangeable fact.

"Ah, in the end, I’m left to bear everything alone!"

Wei Dingjiang didn’t haggle with the old man further, instead, he somberly returned to his courtyard.

On the same day, the Ministry of Rites finalized the funeral arrangements for the Empress Dowager.

Wei Huo, along with Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao, entered the palace, and after offering incense to the Empress Dowager, they, with their entourage and the Wei family’s private guards, left the Capital heading west.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Wei Huo left the Capital with Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao, Emperor Xia received the news.

"Your Majesty, do you need to recall the old general?"
