After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 341 Is he?

Xia Wanniang looked at Wu Xiao and said, "Before that, I want to ask about your attitude towards the Pu family."

Wu Xiao did not directly answer Xia Wanniang's question, but lowered his head to look at the portrait on the table: "The only thing he has in common with that man is his eyes. I guess his mother must be a very beautiful woman."

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye. They had no way of answering this question. After all, they had never met Pu Xingyu's father or his mother.

Wu Xiao sighed: "The late emperor spared the family of the previous prince because of their previous friendship. Now that they are threatening the people of Daxia, we should destroy them!"

Xia Wanniang looked at Wu Xiao: "What if he is a good person?"

A smile appeared on Wu Xiao's face: "After the second son left, I found that my other sons seemed to be unable to even defend the city. They just wanted me to die quickly so that I could make room for them to enjoy themselves."

He has now put aside his status as an emperor, like an old father in his twilight years: "If he can make the people of Daxia live a good life, it is not a bad idea to give it back to him."

After saying this, he looked at the two of them: "Is he?"

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "He is not like that. He doesn't want Da Xia. He wants to destroy Da Xia."

Wu Xiao smiled bitterly: "The longer you sit in this position, the lonelier you will become. The more suspicious you will become. You will always feel that others will harm you. You have to be on guard against court officials, the person next to you, and even your own children. It's very tiring."

Xiao Chiye didn't say anything. Everyone thought that position was good, but they all knew that position would only bring endless loneliness.

Wu Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "If this throne was given to you, would you take it?"

The two of them didn't hesitate at all and shook their heads directly: "No."

Wu Xiao looked at the two of them in surprise: "Why does everyone want this position?"

Xiao Chiye: "That position is too high. It's lonely up there. There are too many things to do and the burden on my shoulders is too heavy. If I had that much time, I would rather spend time with my family."

“Hahaha!” Wu Xiao laughed, looking at Xiao Chiye as if he was looking through him at an old friend: “Your father said the same thing back then. He also said that he would only do one thing in his life, which was to protect the people behind him.”

He looked at his palm and said, "He said, I am responsible for ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. But I haven't done it!" As he spoke, his eyes became red.

Xia Wanniang: "What you haven't accomplished in this lifetime, maybe the next generation will accomplish."

Wu Xiao raised his eyes to look at her, then looked at Xiao Chiye: "You want to go back to the northwest?"

"I want to complete what my father and brother have not completed, and the Pu family's lair might be in the northwest. He and I have a blood feud, so I must go back to the northwest." Xiao Chiye's eyes were firm.

Wu Xiao frowned and said, "No, it's too dangerous. I've already let your father down. If anything happens to you, how can I face him in the future?"

Xiao Chiye: "If he really has plans in the northwest, Daxia will be in danger. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself."

Wu Xiao took a deep look at Xiao Chiye, then stood up and paced back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back. His fingers had been clenched into fists, which he kept relaxing and clenching.

Finally, he turned to look at Xiao Chiye: "How sure are you that he is in the northwest?"

Xiao Chiye: "I'm not sure, but everything started from the northwest. First it was my father, then the second prince, then our family, and then something happened to the officials in the northwest. All the signs of these things point to the northwest."

Wu Xiao closed his eyes. He had always thought that his sons wanted to fight for the military power in the northwest, so he broke up the Xiao family army and dispersed them everywhere.

But now it seems that these are not just for the military power in the Northwest, but someone is planning to control the Northwest.

With the Xiao family around, they have no chance at all. His second in command is a stumbling block to them, and the officials in the northwest are his people.

Wu Xiao slapped the table. Damn it! Why didn't he think about the previous dynasty before? He focused all his attention on his sons and the court.

He had been waiting for them to show their true colors. It turned out that everything was planned by him, just to make them focus their attention on his son and the court, to make him suspicious, and to make him guard against his son.
