Chapter 43

His Grandson Will Ascend the Throne!?

The Liu Family Will Become the Imperial Clan!?

From Now On, Under One Surname, Above All Others!?

Master Liu was so excited that he almost fell over, his old face turning red!

Ancestors, the Liu Family has made it big!

Master Liu looked at his daughter, Concubine Liu, who was watering flowers on the balcony, then at his grandson Chengqian, who was holding the young Miss's hand and reading.

Heavens, this is such a joyous event, and only he knows about it!?

His daughter and grandson have not heard the young Miss's thoughts, they still do not know of this great news?

Oh, what a pity.

Such a delightful surprise, with no one to share it, no one to tell, life... is as lonely as the snow!

Master Liu lamented, wishing he could rush home right away to tell his wife.

But just as he was overjoyed, he heard the tender-faced young Miss sigh again from the cradle, {Ah, but there is nothing to be happy about, our Jing Country is about to perish, its national strength is only a fraction of Yuan Mu Country.}

{My brother is inheriting a mess.}

Master Liu of the Liu Family was elated one moment, then sunk down the next.

He was dumbfounded.

His beloved grandson, the future ruler of a fallen country!?

What a joke!

Then the crown prince is better off given to someone else!

It is clearly a hot potato!

{The country's downfall is understandable, our military is weak, and the civil officials are incompetent too, internal and external troubles, and we don't even have any silver.}

{There are many corrupt officials, even richer than my emperor father! For example, my grandfather's former superior, Ritual Master Xu of the Imperial Academy, he alone embezzled a full million taels of silver, hoarding over a hundred valuable calligraphy and paintings, who would have thought...}

Master Liu of the Liu Family opened his mouth.

The normally composed Concubine Liu and Fifth Prince were both so startled that they almost dropped the watering can and book in their hands.

Ritual Master Xu of the Imperial Academy, Master Liu's superior of the past three years, had embezzled a million taels of silver?

Master Liu almost thought he had heard wrong.

He had never seen so much money in the Imperial Academy!

{There are too many parents in this world willing to give up everything for their children.}

{Many people have sent money to Ritual Master Xu.}

Xiao Chuchu murmured, thinking about how in the original novel, after Yuan Mu Country invaded Jing Country, the Yuan King discovered that Jing Country's treasury didn't have much money, and was furious.

As a result, the Yuan King ruthlessly executed a group of Jing Country officials, to vent his anger.

Surprisingly, when these Jing Country officials' families were looted, there was an unexpected delight.

Ritual Master Xu of the Imperial Academy was one of them.

{The result of looting their homes shocked even the Yuan King. Ritual Master Xu was frugal and plain-living, spending his days in the bamboo garden, reciting poetry and drinking tea.}
