General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

“The late Emperor’s edict,” Ghostfear replied.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand. What did this have to do with the previous emperor’s edict?

Ghostfear continued, “Four years ago, the previous Emperor’s will appeared at Broken North Pass. When my ancestor… Lord Wu An found out about this, he immediately brought people to take back the will, but he didn’t manage to.”

After failing to take it back, King Nanyang blamed Lord Wu An for not doing his job well. Did he kill Lord Wu An and his children and grandchildren in his anger?

No, no, no. This didn’t make sense. There had to be a story.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ghostfear.

Ghostfear hesitated for a moment and said, “However, Lord Wu An saw the contents of the will. It was because he was too shocked that he panicked and let the other party snatch it away.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “What was written in the will that shocked Grandpa so much?”

Ghostfear said calmly, “Depose the King of Nanyang, take back his status as a member of the royal family, and demote him to a commoner. If he rebels… kill him.”

Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO fell silent.

This will… was indeed too surprising.

Su Xiaoxiao digested it for a while before saying, “Didn’t the late emperor dote on this eldest son the most? Why did he depose him?”

Ghostfear shook her head. “I don’t quite understand this either.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Could it be that the will was forged by the White Lotus Society?”

This time, Su MO did not brainlessly praise his sister. He said, “The people of the White Lotus Society don’t have the ability to forge an imperial edict. However, the matter of the late emperor deposing the King of Nanyang is indeed very strange. He even… wants to kill him.”

This was very puzzling.

He continued, “Among the late emperor’s sons, the one he valued the most and owed the most to was King Nanyang.”

“Debt?” Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn’t finish the gossip tonight.

Su MO nodded. “That’s right. When the late emoeror was still a nrince. he was

ordered to quell the internal strife. Not long after, he was retaliated against by the other party. The other party kidnapped the ten-year-old King Nanyang and tortured him in all kinds of ways. He beat him up, imprisoned him, and abused him inhumanely. He vented all his anger on an innocent child. The late emperor was not threatened. He ignored his son’s life and resolutely killed his way into the rebel army’s nest. The rebel army shot King Nanyang in front of the late emperor… He was not killed, and the imperial physician saved him.”

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated. “The late emperor…”

Su MO said, “It’s hard to say if that matter is right or wrong. If he compromised, thousands of soldiers would die. If he didn’t compromise, he’ll lose his eldest son.’

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What was King Nanyang’s attitude?”

Su MO said, “He didn’t blame the late emperor. He treated the late emperor with respect as usual. On the other hand, the late emperor felt extremely guilty towards his eldest son. From then on, he treated him differently from his other sons.”

“Is that so?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. “Yes,” the ghost replied. “I see.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood.

Many illogical things were explained at this moment.

The will did not appoint King Nanyang, but crippled him. He was not allowed to rebel, or he could be killed.

King Nanyang was definitely going to rebel. He was worried that the Wei family would no longer follow him, and he was even more afraid that Lord Wu An, Wei Xu, and the others would kill him on orders. Therefore, he struck first and colluded with Helian Ye to silence everyone.

Zhang Feng must have seen the content of the will and felt that he would definitely be silenced by the King of Nanyang, so he looked for Zhao Kangning to make a deal and asked him to help him escape.

The only thing he could not figure out now was why the late emperor had wanted to depose his most beloved and owed son.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO came out, Wei Liulang was standing quietly at the corner of the corridor.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said to Su MO, “Cousin, go back first.”

Su MO said, “Alright, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After sending Su MO off, Su Xiaoxiao came to Wei Liulang’s side and asked softly, “Did you hear everything just now?”

“I heard you,” said Wei Liulang gloomily.

When Su Xiaoxiao went to Helian Ye’s room to find the murderer, he had to guard his brother and did not go over. However, he had been at the door just now and listened from beginning to end. There was nothing he did not understand.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Su Xiaoxiao could feel the blow he had suffered from his tense body.

“Sixth Brother,” Su Xiaoxiao called out softly.

“He’s Min’er’s father…” Wei Liulang’s eyes turned red.

Xiao Min was the youngest princess of King Nanyang’s Mansion and the biological mother of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.

To the rest of the Wei family, King Nanyang was a lord and a friend, but to Wei Liulang, he had another identity.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to comfort him. It seemed unnecessary to say anything now.

This was an irreconcilable hatred. It was betrayal by the person closest to him. It could not be erased.

Wei Ting returned. “Sixth Brother, Xiaoxiao.”

Wei Liulang turned around and said in a normal tone, “I’ll go back to the room first.”

Wei Ting watched as Wei Liulang entered his shared room with his eldest brother and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Let’s go back too.”

The two of them returned to the room.

Madam Li had just left when the three little fellows were sleeping soundly.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the window and sat down with Wei Ting. She poured Wei

Ting a cup of cold tea to relieve the heat. “Have you seen King Nanyang?”

“I did.” Wei Ting had a complicated expression. “But I feel that it’s not the same person at all.”

“What do you mean?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting recalled, “The change was so great that I almost didn’t recognize him.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “The last time you saw King Nanyang was ten years ago, right? After the Nanyang Manor was destroyed, you never saw him again.”

Wei Ting said, “That’s right. I didn’t know that he was still alive. I always thought that only Sixth Sister-in-law survived.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ten years can bring a lot of changes. It’s enough to remold a person.”

“I know.” Wei Ting could not describe the feeling in his heart. “The scar behind his ear is still there. He’s the King of Nanyang, but… I just don’t think it’s him. He’s left-handed, but his current habit is his right hand. His martial arts style has also changed. His gaze and aura… are all different from before. Sixth Brother and Eldest Brother have also changed, but no matter how they change their martial arts and habits, I can still recognize them. The King of Nanyang… If I hadn’t confirmed his identity, I almost wouldn’t dare to recognize him.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for ten years. She wasn’t as familiar with him.

One had to know that this was Wei Ting.

His mind and memory were incomparable.

Therefore, what happened to make King Nanyang become a different person?

To be cautious, Su Xiaoxiao cut a small strand of Dahu’s hair and brought the cup she had brought from Helian Ye’s room into the pharmacy.

The cup was something King Nanyang had used in the secret room.

The results showed that King Nanyang was related to Dahu. He was the real King Nanyang and not someone else.

“Could he be the Eldest Princess’s son? Did She swap with the Empress Dowager?”

The three little ones climbed on the Empress Dowager for an entire day. Su Xiaoxiao found a strand of the Empress Dowager’s white hair on Xiaohu’s change of clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the final test results. “Oh, it’s the Empress Dowager’s

biological son..”
