Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1137: Can Do It!

Gong Juechen continued, ”Su Haoyu and Su Chengyu are not only unafraid, but they even wish he held great power to help them. Why is that? Simply because he has no intention of rebelling, and is especially loyal, valuing both affection and righteousness.”

”And what about you all?” Gong Juechen sneered coldly, ”You give a little and expect others to return tenfold, even coveting what doesn’t belong to you. If Su Haoyu doesn’t suppress you, then whom should he suppress?”

The more he spoke, the sharper Gong Juechen’s words became: ”One must not only be content but also know how to restrain their sharp edges. If one doesn’t know how to restrain, then they should be like Su Changyi, who has earned complete trust from the one in the highest position. If you can’t do that, then it’s your own fault for the troubles caused by your restlessness.”

”You!” Han Xinche and Han Xinrui were infuriated. It had to be said that every word and sentence from Gong Juechen struck where it hurt. Indeed, they were just as he described.

However, Gong Juechen didn’t care at all about the rage of Han Xinche and Han Xinrui as he went on, ”I’m not foolish. Do you really seek me out to avenge my mother? Heh.”

After a cold chuckle, Gong Juechen slowly continued, ”Clearly, you want to revive the Han family. Fearing that Su Haoyu will continue to suppress the Han family and leave you with no standing, you think, as long as your nephew becomes Emperor, you will have better days too, right?”

Han Xinche and Han Xinrui were so embarrassed by Gong Juechen’s words that they lost all face, as if they had been stripped naked and put on display for everyone to see.

Without waiting for a response from Han Xinche and Han Xinrui, Gong Juechen added, ”By now, you should fully understand why I don’t want to acknowledge you.”

After waiting a while and seeing that Han Xinche and Han Xinrui remained silent, Gong Juechen spoke again, ”I have no interest in usurping the throne. Don’t come looking for me in the future. I am only willing to clarify this with you because you are my uncles. And since you are my uncles, I will give you this piece of advice: stop those underhanded tactics, behave yourselves. That way, you may still be able to protect the Han family. Otherwise, you know the consequences. That is all I have to say.”

Without another word, Gong Juechen turned and left.

But Han Xinrui stopped Gong Juechen, saying indignantly, ”You are the son of the man who murdered your mother. If you do not take him down, when he one day ascends the throne, don’t expect to live out your days comfortably! Su Haoyu may spare your life because you’re his son, but him? Will he really let you live as peacefully as you do now?”

Gong Juechen immediately affirmed, ”As long as I behave myself, I can!”

Han Xinrui immediately scoffed, ”And you say you’re not foolish. I think you’re the truly naive one. So naive. Chengyu will absolutely not let you off!”

Gong Juechen no longer paid any attention to Han Xinrui.

To him, engaging further with Han Xinrui was a waste of breath. He could not reason with this uncle named Han Xinrui.

He only looked at Han Xinche. He could tell that compared to the younger uncle Han Xinrui, his elder uncle was more rational and clear-headed.

Han Xinche said nothing at first, only sighed deeply before pulling Han Xinrui away, letting Gong Juechen go.

Once Gong Juechen had left, Han Xinrui angrily questioned Han Xinche why they let Gong Juechen go. After all, it had not been easy to find their great-nephew.

Han Xinche seemed as if all his strength had been drained, slumping helplessly into a chair, and muttered weakly, ”Did you not hear what he just said?”
