Zhou Weizong walked in.
In the courtyard, there were actually quite a number of maids and servants who were queuing to cry!
No wonder he did not see many people waiting for him when he entered the Xie Residence today. So they were all here!

He stood in front of the coffin and did not know what to say for a moment. He remembered that Xie Pinggang had said that his younger brother was gone… He could not tell whether that was the truth, so he said, “Brother Xie, I… I’m sorry for your loss.”
“I’m not dead! Someone, let me out!” When he heard the voice of an outsider, Xie Pinghuai hurriedly knocked and shouted.
“What’s that sound?!” Zhou Weizong was shocked.
“Oh, I don’t know where the dog barking came from. Okay, let’s go. Your cousin is waiting for us.” Xie Pinggang chuckled.

Zhou Weizong was sure that it was the scream from inside the coffin.
However, Xie Pinggang…
Feeling helpless, Zhou Weizong glanced at the coffin and chose to leave with Xie Pinggang.
“Inside the coffin…” Zhou Weizong thought Xie Pinggang was too strange.
“It’s a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning.” Xie Pinggang would not spread the news of Xie Pinghuai receiving gifts, especially to Zhou Weizong.
Zhou Weizong was the most loyal to the Crown Prince. Once he heard from him, he would immediately pa.s.s the news on to the Crown Prince. By then, would the Crown Prince not be very disappointed in his family?
He could not lose his dignity.
Not long after, the two cousins met in front of the courtyard.
When Zhou Weizong saw who it was, he was stunned.
This was… his cousin Yu Xian?
He really… could not tell!
When his cousin was about ten years old, she came to the capital with her parents to visit her relatives. She stayed in the Zhou Residence for a few days. Back then, she was cute and did not like to cry, which made him very fond of her.
Meanwhile, in front of him…
Her face was a little tanned, and her eyes were full of vigor. She was dressed in a martial arts master’s outfit. When she appeared, she even called him “cousin” in a rough manner, which almost sent him to his death.
“C-Cousin.” Zhou Weizong was in disbelief. It was his cousin!
“Cousin, it’s been a few years. You’re much taller now! And you’re more valiant now!” Yu Xian said.
Zhou Weizong gulped.
He hit p.u.b.erty late.
“C-Cousin, you’re the same.” He thought she looked valiant too.

“Thank you for your praise, Cousin!” Yu Xian accepted it happily. “I didn’t tell you everything in the letter. You don’t know that I’ve been through many obstacles along the way. I’ve really seen quite a bit of the world. I remember that when I was in Dong’an, I was really a toad at the bottom of a well! I’ve been living under the protection of my parents. I don’t know how dangerous it is outside!”
Along the way, she had encountered many robbers, swindlers, and beggars.
It was not easy to live until now without a single cas.h.!.+
Zhou Weizong sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt that his head was a little dizzy.
If his uncle was still alive and saw his daughter living like a man, would he be able to bear it?
“You’ve had a tough journey. Then… Why don’t you follow me back to the Zhou Residence? As long as I’m here, I definitely won’t let them send you back to Dong’an,” Zhou Weizong said stiffly.
What else could she do? Should she stay in the Xie Residence and continue to be a martial arts instructor?
“That won’t do!” Xie Pinggang stopped him, “Your cousin said that he would be the martial arts instructor for my family for the rest of his life! We have such a good relations.h.i.+p, can you bear to see my family lacking a martial arts instructor? It doesn’t matter if you think that he’s old enough to start a family. At most, my father will acknowledge him as his G.o.dson.. He loves G.o.dsons the most. When the time comes, whichever family your cousin takes a fancy to, my family will handle the three letters and six etiquettes! He will definitely not let the lady suffer!”
