“That’s good.”
Man Dali snorted. He agreed inwardly, but he didn’t want to get himself into trouble.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out,” said Man Dasi.
As he spoke, he rose and left the study.
Seeing that Man Dasi was leaving, Man Na quickly followed him, not daring to stay behind.
“How arrogant!” Man Dali banged the desk, fuming.
“If you let him do whatever he likes, he will get us into trouble. You should listen to me and kick him out of the Man family so that he can live on his own.” Man Dawei added fuel to flame instead of putting in a good word for Man Dasi.
“Do you think I don’t want to do that? He’s like a time bomb. I don’t know when he will get us in trouble. But what can I do? After all, he’s my son and your brother. If people know that I kick him out of the family, they will accuse me.”
Man Dawei was deeply disgusted by Man Dali’s selfishness, but he didn’t show it.
“He is just a trouble maker! You’d better think about how to deal with him. Don’t let him mess around.”
Following that, Man Dawei left as if he didn’t want to stay with Man Dali.
“Wait a moment. What do you think of Ke Moer? He used Man Na as his shield just now. I’m not blind. I can see that.”
Man Dawei stopped without turning around. He thought for a while and said, “Let Man Dasi deal with Ke Moer. The most toublesome person in the Ke family is Ke Moer. If he dies, we will nab the crown.”
Man Dawei thought, “Man Dasi will be caught. It was best if he will be sentenced. Therefore, there is only this old man between me and the crown.”
“Ke Jie is not a good-for-nothing as you think. Although he’s outshined by Ke Moer now, he has his own methods.”
“He has a small number of soldiers in his hand. I’m not afraid of him. He had been working smoothly before because Ke Moer was helping him. After Ke Moer dies, Ke Jie will lose his edge. What are you afraid of?”
He thought, “Ke Moer has got stronger because this damn old man didn’t do anything. If he had killed Ke Moer long ago, things would not have been so difficult.”
“It’s almost time for the Ke family to quit the position of the acting king, and they can’t continue to manage the country. As long as the previous king doesn’t show up, the crown will belong to the Man family.”
“If the previous king is still alive, he should have come back long ago. He can’t disappear for over twenty years. He might have been dead. After all, the Gong family was killed back then, and it had something to do with the disappearance of the previous king. I guess someone wanted to kill him, or that person had been scheming to snatch the crown.”
“The old man doesn’t seem to worry about the previous king, so I guess he has nothing to do with this. It might be done by another great family.”
“Looks like it’s getting more interesting. Let’s see who will smile at the end.”
“Father, what you need to do now is to watch over Man Dasi and keep him from messing up things.” After he spoke, he left without looking back.
Man Dali was angry, but he sighed. He could do nothing about his two sons.
