He was dumber than a [email protected]
Despite so, this sister’s boyfriend and this sister’s brother both silently agreed not to mention what happened again.
Quan Zexi released the news that Emperor Yin had died and published the video of Emperor Yin’s attempt at assassinating Quan Zexi. This news garnered much attention on the internet.
Not a single person seemed to have felt bad for Emperor Yin.
After they recovered from the initial shock, everyone spoke the same thought.
“Duke Quan, take over!”
“Duke Quan, be the next Emperor!”
“Duke Quan, you’re this country’s only hope!”
On the way home, there were already people on the streets personally asking Quan Zexi to take over.
Just yesterday, there were citizens throwing rotten vegetables at Qiao Qing and asking her to be killed.
Yet in just 24 hours, the people’s attitudes changed.
Zhao Sizhan watched the crowds and excitedly turned to Quan Zexi, “Duke, the people love you!”
Quan Zexi was extremely proud. The suppression he’d been feeling at home got its release.
“That’s right! I didn’t work so hard these past two years for nothing!”
Who knew just then, some voices came from outside the window.
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter who is the next Emperor. The critical thing is that Duke Quan is the father of God of Gun! Don’t you know what it means to have the God of Gun on our side? Once the Duke is Emperor, the God of Gun would be our princess. Of course, she’ll protect our people then!”
“Exactly! With Duke Quan directing the country and with the God of Gun protecting our homeland, nobody would ever provoke us again!”
Quan Zexi, “…”
So, he was only getting the spotlight because of his own daughter?!
On the passenger’s seat, Zhao Sizhan saw the Duke’s face turn black. He chuckled, “Duke, you should be happy about this. The God of Gun is your daughter after all.”
Quan Zexi nodded, ‘That’s true. No matter how capable she is, I was the one who gave birth to her, hahahaha
Zhao Sizhan,
Suddenly, he felt like the Duke wasn’t so smart after all.
After the car reached home, Quan Zexi felt that the atmosphere was different.
He got out of the car and asked Zhao Sizhan, “Something feels off. Did you miss informing me of something?”
Zhao Sizhan took off his safety belt, “No?”
Quan Zexi was less anxious then. He must be overthinking this.
After he got out of the car and went into the living room, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
There was a group of unwelcome guests there, two of whom were seniors.
Quan Yeqing waved his hand at Quan Zexi, “You’re back. Your in-laws are here. Come and say hi.”
Quan Zexi,”…”
WTF?!
He looked over at Zhao Sizhan, who felt like a mountain was now on top of him. He said forcefully, “D… Duke, I didn’t get the memo. You should talk to your butler.”
Qi Shengkuan’s smile started to disappear from his face given that Quan Zexi wasn’t coming over to greet them, “What is this? You don’t want me here?”
Quan Zexi’s body shuddered. He walked up to him with an open palm, “Dad, what are you talking about? I just… I just didn’t know you were coming. How come you didn’t tell me? If you had told me sooner, I would’ve gone to pick you up.”
Maybe this was the normal dynamic between families. When Quan Zexi spoke to Qi Shengkuan, his hair stood up on their ends due to nervousness. Close up, he looked like a cactus.
He had no idea that Jun Yexuan was laughing so hard he couldn’t even straighten up his back anymore.
Who knew such a day would come for his father-in-law?
