He then regretted his actions, saying, "Brother Ling, he's in such a terrible state, and we still tested him. Did we go a bit too far?"

To be schemed against and framed by one's own mother, maternal grandfather, aunt, younger brother, and great-aunt—that is an utterly tragic thing.

Although she was separated from her parents at a young age, the two families were as close as one because her ancestors and great-grandmother were both messengers in charge of merit in the three realms.

In addition, although the royal uncle looks fierce, he actually takes great care of her and her brother, so she grew up surrounded by love.

Hearing nothing of Xie Tingzhou's bitterness, she blinked her moist eyes and said, "How about we reveal our identities as well?"

As mentioned in Wuxia's previous letter, Zhenmei has also suffered a lot. These two innocent girls are each other's salvation; let's not let others tear them apart.

Shi Lingci felt that his wife made sense. He wiped his red and swollen eyes and reached out to Gu Xuerui, "Come on, let's go and confess together."

Xie Tingzhou admitted that he played the victim in order to gain his brother-in-law's help and make his marriage with Ye Zhen go more smoothly.

But he didn't expect that Shi Lingci and the others would be so naive. They came over again after a short while and revealed their identities to him.

Shi Lingci felt very guilty, "Uncle has taken great care of me and Xuexue, but Sister Zhen is suffering outside. We were very sad when we found out."

We just wanted to do something for the Imperial Uncle and Sister Zhen. For a woman, marriage is like a second reincarnation, so we thought we'd test your character. Please don't hold it against us..."

Xie Tingzhou dared not hold it against her and hurriedly said, "I am so happy for Zhenzhen to have brothers and sisters-in-law like you. I am only grateful for your protection of her."

"To be honest, it's all my fault for not doing well, which is why my brother and sister-in-law are worried. It's all Tingzhou's fault. I hope my brother and sister-in-law will give me more guidance in the future. I will try my best to improve and never let Zhenzhen suffer with me again..."

Xie Tingzhou has now figured out the two men's personalities and has chosen to express his feelings to them in a way that they both like.

Aside from speaking to Ye Zhen, Xie Tingzhou has never spoken this many words in his entire life, so the effect is clearly remarkable.

Shi Lingci and Gu Xuerui were once again teary-eyed by his words.

This time, the two of them were moved.

Gu Xuerui said, "Don't worry, your royal uncle is a very good elder. He definitely won't separate you. Otherwise, given how much he values ​​Zhen, he would have taken action against your mother long ago if she dared to bully her."

He didn't intervene because he didn't want things to get too tense and affect you and Zhen.

Xie Tingzhou felt much more at ease, but his expression was still disappointed. "But Zhenzhen used to tell me everything, but this time she left without saying a word. She must be angry with me."

Shi Lingci said awkwardly, "Actually, my uncle left someone on the shore to guide you, and my sister also left a message for you. I forbade them to have any contact with you."

Although he had guessed it, Xie Tingzhou felt a little more at ease when he heard Shi Lingci admit it.

What came out was, "Really? You're not just being kind and comforting me, cousins?"

Gu Xuerui quickly testified for her husband, "No, your cousin is telling the truth. Your sister even left you a message, telling you not to worry and to rest well on the ship."

Xie Tingzhou felt relieved and stood up to bow to the two men.

"Cousin and sister-in-law, you are such good people. It is a blessing for Tingzhou to have relatives like you."

The two roe deer looked at each other in bewilderment.

Something seems off!

I didn't believe my sister wasn't angry, so why is she calling me "cousin" and "cousin's wife" all the time?

Were they fooled?

Before the two could think further, Xie Tingzhou added, "Brother and sister-in-law, could you tell Tingzhou about my father-in-law? Tingzhou wants to take good care of him."

Xie Tingzhou wanted to know himself and his father-in-law well in order to win his favor.

The two roe deer, with their incredibly slow reaction time, finally realized what was happening. They exchanged a glance, a knowing glint in their eyes.

Shi Lingci said, "What my royal uncle cared about most before was the state of Wei, but now he naturally has another sister, Zhen."

However, the two countries are far apart, and I'm afraid my uncle will have to worry about both in the future. Actually, my uncle is a very easy person to get along with..."

Gu Xuerui added, "Our Great Wei is also a very harmonious country. In our Great Wei, even imperial sons-in-law and prince consorts can enter the imperial court, as long as they are capable enough..."

Unaware that Wei Qingyan had already agreed to Shi Yan's resignation as regent, the two were working together to try and lure Xie Tingzhou to the Great Wei court to serve as a servant and share their burdens.

Xie Tingzhou is a man who, even if he didn't understand at first, eventually realized what was going on.

He pretended not to know and echoed the two, but subtly inquired about the internal situation of the Shi family.

Outside the door, Shi Lingci's attendant's brow twitched uncontrollably. After the two masters had rested for the night, he wrote a letter to Shi Yan and tied it to the old man's foot.

When Shi Yan received the letter, his temples throbbed.

He once suspected that it was his own fault for not teaching well, but when he thought of the capable and intelligent Shi Wuxia, he dismissed the idea.

It wasn't that his teaching was flawed; it was that the two roe deer's genes were inferior. They were both raised by him, and Wuxia was perfectly fine.

He showed the letter to Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu, saying, "I'm really afraid they'll be sold out and then help the seller count the money."

Wei Qingyan laughed after reading it, "As long as they are not confused in handling state affairs, it's fine. Their frankness may not mean they are really stupid."

Shi Yan then became curious again, "Who exactly are you appointing as your regent? It's not Wuxia, is it? Wuxia has worked hard with me all these years, and she's getting married soon. Her child should take a break."

"Don't worry, Wuxia will have time to rest."

Wei Qingyan smiled, "Don't worry about these things, go to sleep. Tomorrow you'll come with us to pick up your sweetheart."

Shi Yan blushed, "Who said she's the one I love?"

She slept with him and ran away back then, and he hasn't even settled accounts with her yet.

But her heart was honest, and her mouth blurted out, "Is she really coming back? Where are we going to pick her up?"
