Incident
"Miss?" Xia noticed that Jun Hua expression after she had returned from the prison is a bit off. The girl seems like pondering deeply about some things, but at the same times, she looks like dozing off.
Jun Hua opened her eyes. "Xia, do you know why the four big families can keep their position for so long?"
Xia shakes her head.
Jun Hua didn't blame the girl for not knowing. There are some unwritten rules among the nobles to never talk about this. Who among them didn't have any secret at all? Considering the strength of the four big families, they all choose to close their eyes.
The only one who didn't choose to close his eyes is the current emperor of Ming Kingdom. Ever since he obtained the throne, he was thirsty of power. He doesn't want any of the big families to grow stronger than him and surpass him. Despite him being the emperor, he feels threatened by them.
