No matter how Wei Rou explained, He Zheng still kept the same rhetoric, affirming that she was the only daughter of Duke Wei's mansion.

This made Wei Rou more confused.

He Zheng changed the topic in a timely manner: "Just now you said that you were kicked out of Duke Wei's mansion, but I heard that you came to Jiangnan with a masked man, that..."

After Wei Rou glanced at the screen, the figure of that person had disappeared.

"It's Rou'er's husband."

He Zheng's expression was unpredictable.

"There is a man in the capital who wears a ghost mask all the year round. He is very skilled. He has gone to battle many times and has no record. If Uncle He's guess is correct, the person who is traveling with you is probably..."

He Zheng didn't continue to say the latter, he believed that Wei Rou would understand what he meant.

Wei Rou smiled slightly.

"Uncle He guessed right, it's him."

Neither of them said their names, but both of them knew it well.

He Zheng looked at Wei Rou with more meaning: "Then what is the relationship between you and him now?"

Thinking of what she said before, He Zheng already had a guess in his mind.

Wei Rou stood up and poured He Zheng a cup of hot tea.

"Uncle He, Rou'er is marrying him as his wife now, and he will protect her in the future. Uncle He doesn't have to worry."

He Zheng took the teacup and smiled.

"Indeed, it's not a problem to use his ability to protect you. Just don't worry, as long as Uncle He is around, he will expose the fake daughter's true colors for you."

Wei Rou's eyes flickered slightly.

"Then thank you Uncle He."

He Zheng asked someone to serve the food, saying that he would pay for the meal.

Wei Rou naturally wouldn't argue with him, He Zheng asked about her previous experience, Wei Rou said it simply, and didn't tell him the complicated things about herself and Zhao Yong.

He Zheng's face relaxed a lot when he heard that she was living well in the General's Mansion, and asked about the relationship between Lingyue and her, Wei Rou told the truth.

He Zheng sneered: "I knew it, she must be lying."

Wei Rou was startled: "Uncle He..."

He Zheng saw her surprise, and said: "Uncle He knows better than you about the dirty things in Fengyue Field. Uncle He can tell which is more important between a top girl's words and your words. She wants to borrow I teach you with my hands, and don’t even look at her identity?"

When He Zheng said this, his tone was cold and cold, and he was completely different from the prefect in Wei Rou's previous impression.

Wei Rou lowered her eyes slightly.

"Uncle He just took a few glances at her because of her high piano skills and gave her some sweets. She forgot her own identity. Compared with you, she will always be as low as dust."

Wei Rou pursed her lips and remained silent.

These words sounded very harsh, far from the gentle and polite Uncle He in her impression.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and didn't show it.

He Zheng continued: "Don't worry, she will never appear in Jiangyue Tower from now on, and there will be no such person as Lingyue in Jiangnan."

Wei Rou coughed lightly: "Uncle He, there's no need to do this."

He Zheng's face was grim and cold: "Uncle He will never let anyone who dares to bully you go easily."

……

Wei Rou was sent all the way back to the inn by the sedan chair, and was escorted inside respectfully.

She was lost in thought when she entered the room.

A pair of wide and warm hands were wrapped around his waist.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing Gu Xi's voice, Wei Rou came back to her senses, she looked back at Gu Xi, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

"I was wondering why Uncle He would do this."

"How to say?"

Gu Xi picked up Wei Rou horizontally, carried her to the bed and sat down, stroked her slightly cold cheeks, trying to warm her up.
