Xie Ming has been treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and Li Xiaomei has been successfully treated.

Despite his resentment towards this ill-fated relationship, Xie Ming's heart softened when he saw his daughter being born.

The little girl was just like Xie Ming—soft and easy to bully. But after getting a little girl, Xie Ming became much tougher and would stand up for the child.

The twins were unaware of their origins, and they were used to their honest and taciturn father.

Seeing him protect and dote on his sister, the two of them felt intense jealousy and would often try to harm her when Xie Ming couldn't see them.

Days passed by, and soon it was 10 years later, when the twins were 13 years old.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Lei returned, becoming a junior general on the frontier of the Great Wei.

It turns out that he didn't die in battle back then, but was sent to the enemy country as a spy. By the time he returned to his hometown after achieving fame and success, everything had changed.

Upon seeing his cousin's ex-wife and their twins, Xie Lei broke down in tears in front of his house.

Those around him felt sorry for him, and somehow the rumor spread that Xie Ming, the unlucky fool, had become a despicable villain who coveted his brother's wife and betrayed his brother.

The members of the main branch tried their best to explain what happened back then, but more than 10 years had passed and no one could say for sure what the situation was at that time.

Ever since the twins learned that their biological father was a young general, and that their current father had forcibly taken their mother, and considering the wealth they had missed out on, their hearts were filled with hatred and malice.

So she secretly poisoned Xie Ming, and watched helplessly as her stepfather died a pathetic and resentful death in front of her.

Li Xiaomei lost her man again, and Xie Lei said he could take her and her children to live in Beijing.

It turns out that he had rendered meritorious service and gained the Emperor's favor, and had been transferred to a post in the capital.

With the big carrot dangling in front of her, Li Xiaomei happily took the children to the capital, along with Xie Ming's daughter.
