646: Chapter 69: All Debts of Gratitude Incurred in Those Years 646: Chapter 69: All Debts of Gratitude Incurred in Those Years Human nature is flawed, and so have particularly large flaws.
Even the most powerful Immortals in the world have never claid to be able to et everyone’s demands without limit.
At best, they can only maintain a situation that satisfies the majority.
The Emperor of the Forr Dynasty abdicated, and though most of the remaining loyal officials and supporters verbally expressed their inability to accept this, they all knew in their hearts that it was an inevitable conclusion.
There can be no two suns in the sky, nor two sovereigns over a nation.
The young Emperor was ineffectual, and the Regent Prince, despite his exhaustive efforts, failed to open any new prospects.
Even without the President, people like Zhang San and Li Si would harbor their own ambitions.
Maintaining the last semblances of dignity would be the best outco.
As for the very few die-hard elents, conspirators with ulterior motives in their hearts, and fools who are used by others because of their limited intelligence, their opinions are not important.
In this world, apart from one’s biological parents, no one is obliged to feed these giant babies who only know how to make demands.
If you have the capability, you can strive for it yourself.
Otherwise…
it would be like the unfortunate Xia Yu.
Li Mumu didn’t know why he left the Xia Mansion at the beginning; he probably had reasons such as restoring the fallen dynasty.
But it is certain that when he left, he did not leave openly and honorably.
Since there has been no news spread in the marketplace about the Forr Dynasty’s Deposed Emperor leaving the Xia Mansion, if you suddenly claim to be the Emperor, who would believe you?
If soone looks the sa, are they the real person?
If soone vouches for you, are you the real person?
If you’re holding the Imperial Jade Seal, does it make you the real person?
Don’t joke around; it’s not that easy.
If it were, you’d see people claiming to be the Emperor every day.
If it weren’t for Xia Yubing’s personal verification, Li Mumu wouldn’t believe it either.
And she just believes in Xia Yubing, not that she has any special thoughts about this young Emperor.
Even if she pointed at a dog and said it was the Emperor of the Forr Dynasty, Li Mumu, out of respect for her, would agree.
Is everyone crazy?
One must remain calm and learn to be tolerant.
Now Xia Yubing is going to take this person to Sun Family Town…
It’s understandable, after all, the Imperial Palace was destroyed by them.
The little Emperor, due to so mysterious force that is not yet known, was not affected and remained unhard in the middle of the battlefield.
But aside from himself, there was almost nothing intact there.
But the problem is…
“If we take this person with us, won’t we attract unnecessary trouble?”
The Emperor of the Forr Dynasty!
That’s a huge karmic tie!
“Anyhow, there were so past affections; we can’t just leave him there to die.”
Xia Yubing sighed: “Whatever trouble arises in the future, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Li Mumu suddenly beca curious: “Can you elaborate a bit on what this affection is about?”
“Yes, yes, I love hearing about this stuff!”
Shen Qingxi also sat up, eager for gossip.
Xia Yubing said helplessly: “It’s a long story…”
Shen Qingxi quickly sat up: “Don’t hurry!
I’m going to grab so seeds!
There are also chicken feet that Old Man Zhang peeled for in the pot!
Do you guys want cucumbers?”
“It’s not that long!”
Xia Yubing said annoyed: “I’ll just briefly explain to you—the Forr Dynasty was established for 500 years, and people from the Xia Clan are everywhere.
Many with the surna Xia claim to be imperial kinsn, but in reality, they can hardly be linked to the true imperial kinsn.”
Li Mumu thought to herself, after King Jing of Zhongshan…
“My father used to be a landlord in the countryside of Jizhou.
To trace according to our family tree, it might go back five generations before we could barely connect to the actual Imperial Clan.
By my father’s ti, it was no different from an ordinary person.”
“If it weren’t for an accident, when I just ca of age, I would’ve been betrothed to the foolish son of the neighboring landlord, get married, teach children, and live this life confusedly like an ordinary woman.”
“But at that ti, the Imperial Court was implenting a policy to revive the prosperity of the Imperial Family.
They selected many people from the Xia Clan for uniform education and training, hoping to identify talents loyal to the Imperial Family.”
“I just happened to catch this policy, as well as other influencing factors, and escaped my predetermined fate, gaining the opportunity to be educated.”
“Although this plan didn’t last very long and ended hastily, personally, I still owed them a favor.”
Having said that, Xia Yubing spread her hands: “Even though this favor isn’t significant enough for to risk my life and be at his beck and call, since I’ve encountered him, I can’t just watch him starve to death.”
Makes sense!
Li Mumu nodded, accepting Xia Yubing’s explanation.
But Shen Qingxi looked disappointed: “I thought there was so forbidden romance between you and that young Emperor…”
Is your brain contaminated to this point, or has it always been like this?
Li Mumu really didn’t feel like mocking her, instead she began to consider a serious issue.
“I have a small concern…
since you said that Steward Li is so powerful, even able to anchor history, which shows he’s like an Immortal.
If we just take the Emperor back without returning him, shouldn’t we also give him a heads-up?”
It’s his business whether he knows or not, you taking the initiative to inform is a matter of attitude.
When facing these real powerhouses and big shots, Li Mumu never hesitated to show her fear and caution.
Just because a big shot doesn’t care about you when they’re in a good mood, doesn’t an they’re always in a good mood.
“You make a good point, I’ll visit him personally one of these days to explain the situation.
Also…”
Xia Yubing glanced at Shen Qingxi: “Since the Lord Sect Master insists on holding an auction, we might as well send the invitation along with it.
After all, it’s the ceremony to return the Imperial Jade Seal, inviting the Xia Mansion is reasonable and appropriate.
But I’m not so sure, what exactly are you planning with this auction?”
“Who will spend money to buy the Imperial Jade Seal?
And what do you plan to do with the funds obtained from the auction?”
Shen Qingxi laughed: “You don’t have to worry about that; so of my classmates and I have agreed to organize a charity auction.
There are plenty of people willing to spend money to buy the ‘right to return the Jade Seal’, and the funds raised from the auction will be donated to help the disaster-stricken people in the Tiann Cangzhou area this year.”
“The original plan doesn’t need much change, just add a trivial detail—I’ll tell everyone that the main character of this auction was originally the Shen Family, and we were planning to pay for it ourselves, but now we can’t afford it.”
“Naturally, people will beco concerned about the whereabouts of the Shen Family’s wealth!”
