Chapter 1262: The Presence of a King

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

For Yun Bixue, Xie Limo was an important existence in her life. Other than her younger sister, he was her only relative.

So, no matter what he said, she would accept it. Even if it turned her views upside down, she would listen to him patiently.

Looking at Yun Bixue’s expression, Xie Limo caressed her cheeks lightly. “Xue, you’re still too kind. The world hidden behind the noble families is a dark one. You don’t see it, but if Country A continues on like that, the citizens’ mind would not be at peace. With how the officials were acting, it would not be beneficial for the development of the country and the citizens.”

“But even if that was true, must it be a puppet?” If he was a puppet, then Country A’s king must be a miserable person.

Xie Limo shook his head. “That’s what I thought before I came to Country A. When I met you in Ning An City and met all sorts of people, I realized that governing a country required empathy and morals, and that there wasn’t a need to use brute force.”

Yun Bixue nodded her head. “Yes. What you think is correct. Although I know that I might be softhearted, I still think that Country A has its own way of living. We can choose a righteous person to be the king instead.”

“Xue, your thinking is too simplistic. Country A’s is definitely the Xie family’s. Even if it is not under the control of the family, it would be under the control of several noble families, which are equally powerful with their own ideas. Without a consolidated system, even if a righteous person became the king, he would still need the Xie family’s support. Without us, he is unable to control Country A. This is a situation structured over these thousand years, the Northern Xie Southern Wang.”

After pausing, Xie Limo continued sternly, “Otherwise, why do you think that so many noble families can develop individually and help one another in peace?”

When he said it that way, Yun Bixue finally understood. Her eyes shone radiantly as she said in determination, “When you put it that way, I understand. If it’s for the citizens, I will always support you.”

Xie Limo laughed leisurely. He knew it. Even if they walked until where they were now, his wife’s heart was still pure and kind.

No matter how vicious her enemies were, she still hoped that ordinary folks would not come to harm.

It was only because of the small families that the big families can exist. It was only when he lived with her that he managed to experience the many facades of life and learn what empathy was.

Caring for one another brings joy and color to life. Only when there were smaller families can the bigger ones exist.

Looking at the adoring gaze in Xie Limo’s eyes, Yun Bixue replied, “Limo, I’ve gone through a lot, and I’ve been helped by common folks many times. For example, in Gui County, many aunties and uncles from the village were willing to help me. When a country’s not governed properly, the people who would suffer the most would be them.”

“I know. That’s why my other motive for coming to Country A is to consolidate the powers of the North and the South to be under the Xie family.”

His domineering aura when he talked about power and territory radiated through the house.

Yun Bixue’s mind cleared, and she smiled as she clasped her hand onto Xie Limo’s. “I will be with you.”

“Okay, we’ll do it together.”

Both of them locked gazes, and they could see the love and determination in each other’s eyes.

Excitement welled up from within Yun Bixue upon hearing Xie Limo’s words. She would work hard with him to achieve this goal.

Suddenly, Yun Bixue gasped.

Xie Limo asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

His heart was about to jump out from his throat. She was still fine a while ago, so what was this reaction?
