Just then, Xiumei, who had heard the commotion, rushed out from the house. She hurriedly stopped Xu Zhengyong, "Stop hitting him, he's not an outsider, he is... he is..."
Xiumei looked at Wei Jinyi, at a loss for words on how to introduce his identity.
Under Xu Zhengyong's staring eyes, Wei Jinyi took off the human skin mask covering his face.
"You... you... aren't you..." Xu Zhengyong exclaimed in surprise.
"I didn't die." said Wei Jinyi.
"You didn't die?" Xu Zhengyong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes."
"But...how could that be...I remember that time... you obviously..."
"That was arranged by me on purpose," Wei Jinyi answered.
"Why on earth would you fake your death? Don't you realise that it would break Ruoruo's heart?" Xu Zhengyong admonished.
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you here in King Rui's residence now?" Xu Zhengyong asked again.
Xiumei quickly explained, "The second young master is King Rui himself."
"What did you say? He is King Rui?"
