The Almighty Rich Daughter Is Explosively Cool Chapter 815: A Diplomatic Marriage

Chapter 815: A Diplomatic Marriage

"I wonder if you are aware of the discord between the Country of Ruan and Summer?"
Jun Yexuan was silent yet again.
Yin Lei sighed and continued, "Both countries are ruled by monarchies. Therefore, the two countries are natural enemies. We are always either at war, or at a risk for war."
"The history between the two countries has been rough. By this generation, their monarchy had yet again tried to play tricks and hurt a general from our country. Your illness is directly linked to that event. After all, the timing of everything that's happened was no coincidence."
"I was furious at the time and decided that they should pay an eye for an eye. So I decided to assassinate one of the Emperor's sons. After that, the Ruan Country went nuts."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Country of Summer is a very capable country, we would've started a war a long time ago. Who do you think allowed the Country of Summer to have such capabilities?"
Mu Jinghang thought, the old man said so much but his whole point was that the Xia family was important to the country.
But… to claim that the third brother's illness was due to the rival country? What a joke.
If it weren't for the clues they picked up before, this old man's acting really could've fooled them.
Jun Yexuan didn't think as much as Mu Jinghang but he knew and didn't speak.
Yin Lei wasn't waiting for a response anyway and continued to speak, "It's the Xia family. Without a doubt, weaponry is the number one thing that can make or break a country. This is also the reason why the Ruan Country has been working hard to find the Gun God."
"As the weaponry provider, the Xia family is the pillar to the Country of Summer. While the Ruan Country has been keeping its tabs on us, they don't dare to attack because of the Xia family."
Mu Jinghang asked, "The Xia family is that powerful? They're more powerful than the Quan family?"
Yin Lei's face was basically frozen as he explained, "You don't understand. The Xia family and the Quan family are in charge of national security and politics respectively. They cannot be compared like that."
"Right now in this country, the Quan family has far outpowered the monarchy all because the Xia family prefers the Quan family. If we can get close to the Xia family, we may be able to gain more influence."
Mu Jinghang thought, finally, this fox was showing his true colors, "Emperor, what you are saying is…?"
"A diplomatic marriage." Yin Lei said to Jun Yexuan, "The Xia family only has one daughter. If we marry her into our family, then the Xia family will back the monarchs."
"Once you gain the Emperor seat, the Xia family will also do whatever it takes to support you. We can then start to take back all the power the Quan family has been stealing over the past few years"
Mu Jinghang snickered, "I'm not going to take the Emperor seat and I won't be marrying that woman. My wife can only be Qiao Qing."
"Grandpa, you want to use me to win over the Xia family and get rid of the Quan family… you better come up with a better plan."
"Use you?!" Yin Lei's pupils constricted as if he had been deeply offended, "I'm half way in my grave. How many years do you think I have to rule this country?! I'm thinking about your future!"
"You think I want the Xia family on our side to fight against the Quan family?! Don't you know that the Ruan Country has sent the message that they've found the Gun God?"
"Do you know who the Gun God is? That person alone is as powerful as an entire family! The rumor was that not only is that man insane with shooting, he's also a genius gun designer!"
He went to his desk and pulled out a drawer. From it, he took out a delicately designed gun and handed it to Jun Yexuan.
