Chapter 563: Chapter 563: A wet nurse is like a mother, but the real mother gets neglected_1
Just then, Xiumei, who had heard the commotion, rushed out from the house. She hurriedly stopped Xu Zhengyong, “Stop hitting him, he’s not an outsider, he is… he is…”
Xiumei looked at Wei Jinyi, at a loss for words on how to introduce his identity.
Under Xu Zhengyong’s staring eyes, Wei Jinyi took off the human skin mask covering his face.
“You… you… aren’t you…” Xu Zhengyong exclaimed in surprise.
“I didn’t die.” said Wei Jinyi.
“You didn’t die?” Xu Zhengyong’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes.”
“But…how could that be…I remember that time… you obviously…”
“That was arranged by me on purpose,” Wei Jinyi answered.
“Why on earth would you fake your death? Don’t you realise that it would break Ruoruo’s heart?” Xu Zhengyong admonished.
“I’m sorry.”
“Why are you here in King Rui’s residence now?” Xu Zhengyong asked again.
Xiumei quickly explained, “The second young master is King Rui himself.”
“What did you say? He is King Rui?”
Xu Zhengyong felt as if his head was about to explode.
“The second young master of the Wei family is King Rui, and Ruoruo has become Queen Rui by marrying her second brother?” Xu Zhengyong muttered to himself, trying to make sense of the relationships, then he suddenly exclaimed in shock, “What, Ruoruo has married her second brother?! That’s inappropriately messed up, right? How can a brother marry his own sister?”
“Brother Xiaoyong!” Xiumei despaired at his lack of understanding, “Are you being silly? He’s King Rui now, how could he be Missy’s blood brother?”
“Oh, right,” Xu Zhengyong nodded, “But wait, how did he become the second young master of the Wei family?”
Xiumei, seeing his confusion, elaborated on Wei Jinyi’s background.
Only then did Xu Zhengyong fully understand. After some pondering, he came to terms with it.
“Who would have thought that Lord Wei would be so audacious?” Xu Zhengyong exclaimed, “However, it’s indeed something he would do. He values loyalty and is willing to brave all dangers for the sake of his benefactors.”
Straight away, Xu Zhengyong approached Wei Jinyi.
The two were now roughly the same height. Xu Zhengyong was a bit more broad and muscular though.
After carefully looking at Wei Jinyi for a while, Xu Zhengyong asked: “You have great martial arts skills. When can you give me some pointers?”
“Sure, I’ll teach you when there’s an opportunity,” Wei Jinyi replied.
“Really?” Excitement shone in Xu Zhengyong’s eyes.
“Yes.”
“That’s fantastic! Do you have any free time today?” Xu Zhengyong asked.
“Brother Xiaoyong! How could there be any spare time today? His Highness is dressed up like this to facilitate his movements later! Besides, you also have things to attend to!”
“Oh, right!” A bit embarrassed, Xu Zhengyong conceded. In his excitement, he had nearly forgotten about his duties.
Xiumei quickly added, “That’s enough. It’s almost time. I need to take Madam Xu to the side hall.”

All the guests had arrived in the main hall.
Wei Ruo stood and addressed the crowd, “Before we start, I have a personal matter I would like to announce on this occasion.”
Everyone turned to Wei Ruo, their minds filled with curiosity as to what her announcement could be.
