Chapter 73: Intentions
The son and daughter from the Xiao family had actually managed to solve all ten deadlocks that had stumped the south boundary for hundreds of thousands of years . This news stunned the entire south boundary and Xiao Susu’s name quickly spread .
It spread to every corner of the south boundary like the wind .
Hua Ruxue was the most incredulous . How did a fool suddenly become so intelligent?
Could it be that the Xiao family had purposefully hidden this all these years?
However, she then shook her head . Although the Xiao family had always been a thorn in her flesh, she had to admit that Xiao Mi was extremely loyal to Hundred Flowers Nation .
This was the reason why she had never tried to fully ruin the Xiao family .
Of course, it was also due to the previous emperor’s entrustment . She had said to look for the Xiao family if anything ever came up .
However, the Xiao family’s power was declining by the day . She had purposefully brought about this, of course, also at the previous emperor’s request .
She understood what the previous emperor was worried about . However, she didn’t understand why the previous emperor had chosen the Xiao family .
At that time, the only useful person from the Xiao family was Xiao Mi . Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhu only knew to play around and take husbands .
Their ability at doing business couldn’t even compare to that of men’s .
However, from the looks of things today, she had been wrong .
The Xiao family had Xiao Susu .
Compared to how Xiao Mi had been back then, Xiao Susu was even more steady and talented . Back then, before Xiao Mi reached marriageable age, she didn’t have this imposing aura either .
Lei Yufeng just furrowed his brows slightly . He was thinking that perhaps he could ask Mo Wenchen about this . That person’s brain was different from that of normal people so perhaps he might be able to figure this out .
It was too strange .
This was normally unachievable .
The second competition resulted in Xiao Susu’s undeniable victory . In one round, she gained nine more flowers than everyone else and took the lead by a huge margin .
The Xiao family didn’t react with as much joy as everyone expected and just continued watching, unaffected .
“Such talent, Emperor must intend to reward her . ” Serene Chaste Nation’s crown prince, Xu Weiran gazed at Xiao Susu for a few moments before turning to Hua Ruxue and saying this in a joking manner .
Hua Qianye, Hua Ruxue’s eldest son who was sitting behind her, also nodded . “Indeed, she must be rewarded . As expected of Great General Xiao’s granddaughter!”
Although it was said that women were in power in Hundred Flowers Nation, in the imperial palace, it was Hua Qianye who was favored the most . This was because Hua Ruxue had never had a daughter and only had this son .
All the other princesses were born to Hua Ruxue’s sisters so she naturally couldn’t tolerate them . At the same time, she couldn’t very well have them killed . Still, they suffered a lot at her hands .
Hence, all the princesses in the palace lived very cautiously .
The prince was the only one allowed to do as he pleased .
Hua Ruxue also tended to listen to everything he said .
There were rumors that one day, Hundred Flowers Nation would return to the normal standards of men being in power .
Of course, rumors were just rumors . It had always been the women who had deal with governmental affairs in the past centuries . Even if Hua Qianye obtained Hua Ruxue’s favor, he still had to take into consideration how the hundreds of officials would react .
Hua Qianye’s eyes were also filled with admiration .
“Yes, bestow her a reward . ” Hua Ruxue was also smiling brightly . After all, this was a competition between the three nations and Xiao Susu was representing Hundred Flowers Nation . So her achievement also added to Hundred Flowers Nation’s reputation .
Gaining fame in one night was probably a saying illustrating Xiao Susu’s situation .
She had only been trying to make Baili Mo regret his actions and make him understand that their Xiao family wasn’t to be bullied .
Since he was looking for a show, then she’d accompany him to the end .
In her last lifetime, she had stunning talent, but no one appreciated it because her appearance was plain and because she had no one to support her . In this lifetime, she had the same knowledge, but the way she was treated was completely different .
Before leaving, she looked at Lei Yufeng meaningfully .
She had noticed him long ago . At that time, she couldn’t help but freeze . The first thing she thought of was Mo Wenchen . That time, her heart hurt again until she couldn’t breathe .
She cared about Mo Wenchen, but also hated him .
