430 The Wei Family Takes Action
“Good child, go back and rest. Your back isn’t good, so you have to be more careful. Don’t think that you’re still young and disregard it. When you grow old in the future, you’ll suffer.”
General Qi was full of concern. Many injuries and illnesses became more painful the older they got.
Father Qi smiled and nodded. He said happily, “Grandfather, don’t worry. Recently, Xiaolu has been giving me acupuncture. I feel much better. Xiaolu’s medical skills are too good. My illness won’t heal, but with her prescribing medicine, it won’t be too painful. It’s all thanks to Xiaolu.”
“That’s true.”!!
General Qi agreed. Thinking of Su Xiaolu, he felt that it was really fate.
“Grandfather, do you miss them?”
Father Qi’s eyes were slightly red, but his smile was still very bright. He hoped that if he smiled more, General Qi would be happier to see him.
General Qi looked at his silly grandson and nodded with a smile. “I miss them. It’s enough to see you. Go back and sleep. Grandfather is fine. Grandfather still has to wait for Xingfeng and Xingzhi to get married and hold his grandchildren.”
Father Qi nodded heavily. “Alright, have a good rest.”
Father Qi turned around and left. He closed the door before quietly wiping the corners of his eyes.

The next morning, Father Qi went out alone.
When he arrived at the Grand Tutor’s residence, he saw Wei Xiaotian.
“I’m sure you know why I’m here. I won’t beat around the bush. Tell me, have you investigated them?”
Like General Qi, Father Qi liked to be straight forward.
Wei Xiaotian looked at Father Qi and said in a deep voice, “We want to see him. The meeting place has to be at the Wei residence. We will only know the rest when he comes tomorrow night.”
“What do you mean? Have you found anything? Is this meeting with you or with the empress? Tell me clearly.”
Father Qi frowned and asked.
“Well, he’ll know when he gets here. Forgive me for not being able to say more. I’m sorry.”
Wei Xiaotian looked down calmly.
Father Qi’s anger surged. This made him very upset.
“Lord Qi, you don’t have to know so much. You just have to tell Zhou Heng that it’s his business whether he comes or not. If he’s afraid that we’re cheating, he can choose not to come.”
Wei Xiaotian looked at Father Qi and seemed even more relaxed.
Father Qi took a deep breath and glared at Wei Xiaotian. “Fine, I understand.”
The Wei family clearly did not believe him, but they still invited Zhou Heng to the Wei family. They were clearly up to no good.
Father Qi turned around and left.
“Lord Qi.”
Wei Xiaotian stopped Father Qi and said, “I hope you can tell him the truth.”
Father Qi’s breathing was heavy. He suppressed his anger and strode away without saying a word.
After Father Qi left, Wei Xiaotian turned around and went to the main courtyard.
Wei Guangrong sighed and asked, “Who came?”
Wei Xiaotian replied, “The Grand General’s grandson came to ask about that matter. I told him what you said.”
Wei Guangrong nodded. “That’s good.”
Wei Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and asked, “Father, what if he doesn’t tell Zhou Heng?”
Wei Guangrong waved his hand and said, “No, they won’t do such a thing.”
The Qi family was concerned about Zhou Heng. They might stop him from coming, but they would definitely tell him. The Qi family would not hide the news and make a major choice for others.
“Just make the necessary arrangements. If they don’t do anything when we try to hurt him, bring him back.”
Wei Guangrong’s eyes were deep, and his tone was heavy.
“Father, it’s useless for us to probe like this. If we really hurt Zhou Heng’s life, the Second Prince will definitely expose this matter to Aunt. No matter if it’s true or not, Aunt will also be cold to us.”
Wei Xiaotian frowned. From the looks of it, they were at a disadvantage.
“Sigh… Father also understands this, but if I don’t test him, I won’t feel at ease.”
Wei Guangrong sighed. For Zhou Heng, he had sacrificed hundreds of elite guards. This was already the end.
He was not satisfied with whether Zhou Heng was real or fake. The thorn had already pierced into his heart.
“Don’t think too much. Just act according to the plan.”
Wei Guangrong swept away the hesitation in his eyes and said firmly.
Wei Xiaotian nodded. “Yes.”
Just as his father had said, this matter had to be resolved.

When Father Qi returned to the residence, he called the entire family together.
Then, he told Zhou Heng what the Wei family had said. After saying that, he said, “This Wei family doesn’t believe in your identity. I think it’s better if you don’t go. Anyway, whether you go or not, they won’t really believe you.”
Just because they had invested a lot previously and could not protect Zhou Heng, when the other Zhou Heng returned to the capital safely, they could not accept this fact. Because they could not accept it, they believed that Zhou Heng was fake.
“Brother Heng, don’t go.”
Su Chong frowned. Even he knew that something was wrong with such news.
Su Hua frowned and fell silent. He looked at Zhou Heng and was also worried.
Zhou Heng’s expression was solemn. He said in a deep voice, “I know they don’t believe me, but I want to go. I lost the initiative, but I can’t let this misunderstanding and suspicion accumulate.”
If he did not go, the Wei family would never believe him again.
The Wei family might not believe him if he went, but he believed that once, twice, thrice… they would believe him after multiple proofs.
Zhou Heng wanted to go. He had to go.
“This is Brother Heng’s choice. If he wants to go, let him go.”
Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and said. He thought that if he were Zhou Heng, he would go too.
“You know that there’s a tiger in the mountains, but you’re going towards it. Forget it, forget it. This is your own decision. Go.”
Father Qi said slowly.
With that, he looked at Zhou Heng and said seriously, “Then let’s discuss how to protect you this time.”
“I… protect you!”
Qi Xingfeng blushed and volunteered.
“Count me in.”
Su Chong also spoke.
“And me.”
Su Xiaolu raised her hand.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Heng smiled and said, “It’s enough. I believe that Grandpa and the others are just testing me. My life won’t be in danger. The few of you are enough. If they believe me when I’m injured, there’s no harm in me being injured.”
“Sure, let’s arrange it that way.”
General Qi nodded and said.
After making the arrangements, they returned to their respective courtyards.
No one could persuade Zhou Heng about this. All they could do was support him.
Su Xiaoling was distracted. Many times, she wanted to tell Zhou Heng that she did not care about his identity, but she swallowed her words. She did not care, but Zhou Heng did.
He was originally a member of the royal family. He did not want to live an unknown life for the rest of his life. Even if he had to go through many dangers to restore this identity, he would not hesitate.
If they could not stop him, they could only pray that he could avert the danger and recover his identity safely. Everything they wanted could be fulfilled.
