Chapter 104 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (9)

It's funny, actually. When Xia Wei first gained a reputation for being brave in battle, Zhou Ying refused to believe that her "son" could make such a name for himself.

When others kindly informed her of the battlefield situation and circumstances, she coldly and resolutely denied it, declaring that this "Xia Wei" could absolutely not be her son. In her schemes, this disobedient daughter was destined to die in her son's place!

Is she trying to prove her wrong by making this name for herself? Is she trying to show everyone that her decision was wrong? If so, she'd rather not have this daughter!

Seeing Zhou Ying's cold face, the kind-hearted lady who had given the advice also stopped putting on a smile and immediately stopped smiling!

After all, he was just trying to be helpful, and there was no need to put up with her sour face. Besides, what lady wouldn't be all smiles when she hears that her children are successful? But this woman was not only unhappy, she also had a sour look on her face. He wasn't her servant, he hadn't eaten a single grain of rice from her house, and he didn't need to put up with her strange temper!

Little did this lady know that Zhou Ying wasn't unhappy because of her son, but because of her "unfilial" daughter! If the real Xia Wei had performed such a great service, she would probably be grinning from ear to ear! But this "Xia Wei" was a fake, so why would she be happy?

In truth, from the moment she made up her mind to have Xia Wei and Xia Mingwei switch identities, she secretly hoped that Xia Mingwei would die on the battlefield. After all, for a woman to go to the military camp was always a serious crime!

If discovered, not only would he be sentenced to beheading, but his family would also be implicated! But Zhou Ying knew all this, yet she still used the debt of childbirth to threaten Xia Mingwei into entering the army in place of Xia Wei. She was both vicious and stupid!

In her mind, Xia Mingwei dying on the battlefield was the best ending! Not only would she not have to worry about her identity being exposed, but she could also preserve the Xia family's reputation as a "family of loyalty and bravery" who would die on the battlefield.

As for Xia Wei's true identity no longer existing? That doesn't matter. Just get another household registration, put on a few shows in front of everyone, and then adopt Xia Wei as their son. Isn't that enough?

As for Xia Mingwei, hasn't her health always been poor? There are quite a few girls who die of illness before they are married, so it's only natural that she's added to the list!

Of course, these are all just her own imagination!

So, when she heard news of "Xiawei" again, it was news that "he" had made a great contribution and was about to return to the capital!

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Ying was utterly panicked! She never dreamed that the pawn she intended to sacrifice would return unscathed, contrary to her plan. Moreover, it had rendered such a great service; the emperor's reward would surely be substantial!

As Xia Mingwei walked back to the capital, she was preoccupied with Zhou Ying and Xia Wei. All the way, she cursed the two scoundrels in her heart, her mind preoccupied with how to deal with them!

But Xia Mingwei didn't expect that not only she was thinking about them, but they were also thinking about her.

"Mother, what should we do? That person is coming back soon!" Xia Wei asked Zhou Ying.

The person he was referring to was naturally his own younger sister, Xia Mingwei.

"Even your mother doesn't know! When your mother agreed to let her go to the battlefield in your place, she never expected that she would come back alive!"

Xia Wei glanced at Zhou Ying; her expression seemed genuine, and he was already seven or eight parts convinced. After all these years, he had long since seen through what kind of person his mother truly was.

Although she didn't know why her heart was so biased towards him and Xia Mingwei, since she was the one who benefited, she decided to let her be.

However, he immediately thought of Xia Mingwei, who was about to win the battle, and felt a surge of displeasure.

“She went to the battlefield using my identity. Now that she’s back, I can’t live my whole life as her woman!”

As Xia Wei spoke, he glanced at his clothes with annoyance. The reflection in the brass mirror showed that Xia Wei's clothes were clearly women's clothing.

If there were any outsiders here, they would be utterly astonished. Why would a perfectly normal man wear women's clothes for no reason? A man who could do such a thing is either mentally unstable or has a twisted mind!

Seeing Xia Wei's frustrated expression, Zhou Ying could only try to soothe him, saying, "Good boy, give your mother a few more days and let her think of a solution!"

"Think about it! How long have you been thinking about this? If you really are my mother and care about me, then resolve this matter quickly! Otherwise, I'll have to stay in this room every day, wearing this inappropriate outfit!" Xia Wei said, almost gritting his teeth.

"When you didn't want to go to the battlefield, didn't your mother already find a solution for you? Just be patient for a few more days, and your mother will definitely think of a suitable solution!"

Hearing Zhou Ying's reply, Xia Wei calmed down a bit. Actually, he had a thought in mind, but given his status, he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

Now that I've made a scene, I've dumped this problem on Zhou Ying. It's better to let her figure it out; it saves me from taking on this hot potato! Let her be the villain; if things come to light later, it'll make my hands cleaner!

The fact that things have developed to this point is not only due to Xia Wei being a born bad seed, but also inseparable from Zhou Ying's upbringing!

From a young age, under Zhou Ying's influence, Xia Wei believed that he would one day be the master of this house. Anyone who served him or made sacrifices for him was only right and proper!

Therefore, when Zhou Ying suggested that the two of them switch identities, he agreed without much thought!

In Xia Wei's mind, the battlefield was arduous and exhausting, and one wrong move could cost him his life! Why not use a substitute he had? Perhaps her very existence was meant to shield him from harm!

With this in mind, he felt no remorse for taking advantage of Xia Mingwei; on the contrary, he felt that he had given her a chance!

Xia Mingwei had always wanted to practice martial arts, but after Xia Shengtin's death, Zhou Ying objected, and the idea was abandoned. Now that she had the opportunity to return to the battlefield, she might even be grateful to him for giving her the chance she'd always dreamed of!

Thankfully, this was just his thought. If Xia Mingwei knew the truth, she would be furious! Giving someone something he didn't want, and then acting like he was doing them a favor—that's incredibly shameless!

Xia Wei truly lives up to his reputation as Zhou Ying's biological son; his filthy thoughts are just like Zhou Ying's—both vicious and stupid!
