Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1778: Chapter 145 Rich His Sister! Princess Hua Rui

…

Over here, Wang Shouzhe and Emperor Zi’an were joyfully shifting responsibility back and forth, yet Wang Shizhao on the side couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

He rubbed his forehead, saying with a speechless expression, “Grandpa, Your Highness, can you two stop passing the buck like this?”

“Everyone knows that both you, grandpa, and His Highness are particularly responsible people. Arguing like this makes you seem particularly childish.”

“Shizhao, you don’t manage the household, so you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.” Wang Shouzhe said with a chuckle, “The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, that’s all a helpless act. If possible, I would much rather lie down every day, without having to manage or think about anything.”

“Exactly, exactly, nobody’s shoulder is made of iron, who would want to carry such a heavy load if they didn’t have to?” Emperor Zi’an sighed deeply, “When I was still a Commandery Prince, my life was so carefree and comfortable. Never did I expect that Shouzhe would trick me onto a pirate ship, leaving me no way out since then. Shouzhe, speaking of this, you owe me, just console my heart with a random few tens of millions of Immortal Crystals.”

“Your Highness’s shameless spirit is becoming more and more like His Majesty’s. I wonder who it was back then holding my hand saying they wanted to bring peace and happiness to the people. If I didn’t see that you had ambition and ideals, who would want to get on your pirate ship?”

Wang Shizhao on the side was even more speechless.

In this vast world, anyone else could say that, but you two are the least qualified, alright?

In the end, no one forced them to do those things, they completely voluntarily took up the burden themselves.

Moreover, considering Da Qian’s current development, anyone would think their current achievements are already remarkable. Isn’t it just them adding burdens to themselves?

Probably these two are just under too much pressure, venting to each other.

As the two were talking.

A hurried voice came from outside: “Old Ancestor Grandfather, are you at the Secluded Dragon Cottage?”

This voice should be from that child, Ning Yi.

Wang Shouzhe felt a stir in his heart, and his God Sense immediately scanned outside, only to find that it wasn’t just Wang Ning Yi who had come, but also Wang Ning Yao, along with their twin wives Zhao Jingling and Zhao Jingyu.

“Panicking and flustered, what kind of manners is that?” Wang Shouzhe said calmly, “All of you, come in.”

With these words.

Outside the Secluded Dragon Cottage, Wang Ning Yi and Wang Ning Yao hurriedly took a few deep breaths, smoothed their breaths before pulling their wives into the Secluded Dragon Cottage.

“Greetings to Old Ancestor Grandfather, greetings to Grandfather, greetings to Maternal Grandfather.” They bowed.

“Zhao Jingling, Zhao Jingyu, pay respects to Old Ancestor Grandfather, to Grandfather, to Maternal Grandfather.”

“No need for formalities, no need for formalities.”

In front of the younger generation, Emperor Zi’an immediately dropped his shameless demeanor and restored his poised, majestic, yet kindly elder persona: “What are you children doing all flustered?”

Upon hearing these concerned words, Wang Ning Yi and Wang Ning Yao brothers managed to regain some calm and composure.

But Zhao Jingyu and Zhao Jingling, the twin wives, both broke down, tears streaming: “Something terrible has happened! Butterfly, Butterfly is missing. We’ve searched everywhere and can’t find her.”

“What?!” Emperor Zi’an’s face changed, he stood up abruptly, his aura suddenly turned a bit cold and oppressive, as if suppressing anger, “How could that be? Hua Rui is only eight years old, isn’t she supposed to be starting Elementary Clan School for enlightenment? How could she go missing on the Wang family’s territory?”

This Butterfly, or rather “Hua Rui,” refers to the Wang family’s twelfth-generation eldest daughter, Wang Jidie, who is Wang Ning Yao and Zhao Jingyu’s only child.

Previously, because Wang Anye married two Little Commandery Princesses from the Imperial Household and caused a scandalous situation where it was unclear who was the elder between Wang Ning Yi and Wang Ning Yao, it was simply assumed they were both legitimate eldest sons, and the true order of inheritance would be determined by whoever first fathered a male child.

As it turned out, Wang Ning Yi and Zhao Jingling had Wang Fugui first, naturally making him the twelfth-generation legitimate eldest son of the Wang family. Unfortunately, for many years after, the two had no more children, until seven years later Wang Ning Yao and Zhao Jingyu gave birth to a daughter.

Born late, this daughter, like Wang Fugui, has a relatively low ranking, being one hundred thirty-sixth in the “Ji” generation. But she is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wang family, and from birth has been a pampered Little Princess, and this “princess” is not just in name.

Just this year at the beginning, she was detected to have a Great Heavenly Proud Grade A bloodline talent, and it’s the rare internal Zhao Clan “Azure Dragon Bloodline.”

After discussions with the Imperial Family Mansion, Emperor Zi’an simply had her officially granted the title “Hua Rui Princess” in advance, from which point she began to enjoy corresponding support from the Imperial Family Mansion and was permitted to cultivate the Imperial “Azure Dragon True Verses.”

This shows how much Emperor Zi’an values and cares for this Hua Rui Princess Wang Jidie, two generations removed.

He originally planned to linger for a few more days after discussing important matters with Shouzhe, and spend some time with Hua Rui Princess.

Who would have thought that such a situation would occur?

“Jingling, Jingyu, no need to worry.” Wang Shouzhe said with a kindly face, “If a child gets lost on our territory, wouldn’t that make me, the Old Ancestor Grandfather, seem too incompetent?”
