A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 331 The Truth 1
"Me? How could that be?!" Jiang Xinli continued to scoff, "Liar."

"Lili, I'm telling the truth." Sheng Tianze pulled her tightly into his arms.

The girl's body was slender and delicate.

He dared not use too much force, for fear that he might accidentally break her.

"Lili." His face was buried in her back, and his usually gentle voice was muffled at this moment. "Actually, we've known each other for much longer than you, Hua Xi, and Xue Qianxun have known each other."

"Keep making things up." Jiang Xinli didn't want to pay attention to him, like an eel trying to break free from his embrace.

The man stretched out his long leg and locked her legs in place.

The furry tiger's tail gently wrapped around her ankle.

“You told me before that when you obtained that Star Soul Fragment in that ancient secret realm, you saw some scenes from your childhood, but those scenes were silent.”

Sheng Tianze hesitated for a second, his fingers twitching slightly, before continuing:
“Lili, have you ever thought that the blond little boy in that picture is me?”

Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback, then raised her lips and sneered, "I told you about this before. Don't forget, you didn't say anything back then."

"No, I already told you." Seeing that her resistance had lessened, Sheng Tianze gently reached out and turned her face toward him.

The man's deep golden eyes were filled with tender and lingering love:
“I said at the time, since he appears in your memory fragments, he must be someone who is very important to you and loves you very much.”

Jiang Xinli questioned, "If it was so important, if you loved me so much, why didn't you admit it back then?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"I—" Upon hearing the words "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Sheng Tianze couldn't help but laugh and gently pinched her cheek. "My Lili, how come you're still so adorable?"

The girl slapped his hand. "Be serious, don't interrupt."

"What else are you hiding? Tell me the truth. Otherwise—" The girl gritted her teeth angrily, her eyes wide open like a pufferfish, a beautiful and delicate little pufferfish:

"I'm going to marry that mermaid tomorrow!"

The man's heart skipped a beat. He pulled her into his arms and said in a deep voice, "No."

His little rose, though clearly angry, evoked a sense of pity and tenderness because of the pink tinge at the corners of her eyes.

I want to cherish it in my hands for a lifetime.

The girl smiled. "So, are you going to tell me or not? Three seconds, 3-2-"

“Lili, I’m telling you.” A fleeting hint of pain crossed the man’s eyes. “You were secretly sent to the Empire right after you were born.”

"Me???" Jiang Xinli opened her mouth, shocked, "Wasn't I switched at birth by Jiang Wanwan's mother, who swapped me with her biological daughter?"

The man gently kissed her forehead. "You were switched at birth, but all you know is that your parents found you when you were five. You don't know where you went during those five years."

Jiang Xinli: "Did you know?"

“Yes.” Sheng Tianze nodded. “Actually, you arrived in the Empire right after you were born. However, you were raised under an assumed name under the name of one of the Emperor’s unfavored concubines.”

"That concubine didn't know your true identity. So, you didn't have a very happy childhood. You were bullied."

"Of course, this dissatisfaction refers to the comparison with real princes and princesses."

"In interstellar society, females are respected, but in an empire ruled by male orcs with a strict hierarchy, the princes' rights and treatment far exceed those of females."

"When I first met you, you were crying. You were about 3 years old, and you were still walking unsteadily."

"Your eyes were red, your nose was red. I forgot why we met, maybe I helped you chase away a little prince who was bullying you or something. I still remember the scene when you stopped crying and started laughing."

The little girl's eyes were bright and sparkling, brighter than the stars in the sky.

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, like little moons.

Her skin was also very fair, like a soft, fluffy marshmallow. With such a little sister, his young heart melted instantly.

I want to be a good older brother and take good care of her.

"But at that time, I only thought that you were my only half-sister."

"I don't remember much from that time; most of the scenes I've witnessed are of you crying."

"You really cry a lot. You cry when you're bullied, when your pet turtle dies, when your flowers and plants die. You're such a crybaby, a very cute little crybaby."

“You often cried in front of me, saying you missed your parents. That’s when I found out you weren’t born to that concubine.”

“Back then, children didn’t understand much about feelings. All I knew was that you were still my most beloved little sister. Now that you’ve lost your parents, it’s my duty as your older brother to take good care of you.”

As Jiang Xinli listened, her nose inexplicably tingled with emotion.

"Brother—" she called out softly, almost instinctively.

This word seemed to have appeared many times in her dreams.

She hadn't thought of it before.

But as the man spoke gently, some images in her mind, as well as those from fragmented memories, suddenly flashed through her mind frame by frame.

She raised her face, looking at the noble and handsome man before her, her fingers gently running through his long golden hair.

Then, she picked up a strand of hair with her fingertip, gently wrapped it around, and compared it with the scene in her memory.

That little boy had bright, golden eyes.

She is very young, but very beautiful and has an air of nobility, possessing a composure and maturity beyond her years.

Every time he came to see her, he had a smile on his face.

All of this made her feel at ease.

He seemed very powerful; no one dared to bully her when he was around.

Laughter and cheerful voices could be heard everywhere.
The two faces gradually overlapped.

She suddenly remembered that the little boy also had a strong cedar scent.

It just has a very faint smell.

She knew that some of her memories had been altered by her father, who was a golden dragon.

Was Father doing this on purpose?

After all, male orcs only develop pheromones after awakening their superpowers at the age of 18.

Therefore, her father also knew about her future with Sheng Tianze.
Are many things predetermined a long, long time ago?
Jiang Xinli felt her heart skip a beat.

A strange emotion welled up inside him, "Aze."

"Lili—" The man hugged her even tighter, "You called out 'brother' so many times in your dreams, you don't know, every time I heard it, my heart—"

He ultimately didn't utter the word "pain".

"Later, I started to have some new thoughts. Maybe it was just a young boy's liking. A very simple liking."

"Then, when you were 5 years old, you suddenly disappeared from the empire."

I searched for you frantically, only to find out later that you were actually the daughter of Lord Jiang of Rich Star No. 3, and that you were switched at birth by bad people.

You were taken back by your biological parents.
