Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy
Chapter 161: Adopted as a Goddaughter
"If this is really Mr. Jiang San, then he and Miss Xing are - how will this end?"
"From the looks of it, they are in love with each other, but Mr. Jiang is married, and Miss Xing is his mistress?"
The sound of people's discussion continued to come, and Jiang Chengli had sharp ears and eyes, so he could hear it clearly.
He still had an expressionless face. Having experienced this kind of scene several times, he no longer felt ashamed. No matter how he behaved, the plot would continue to move forward. Everyone here was like a puppet.
"Ms. Xing, I wonder what your relationship is with this young man?" Cen Ying asked softly.
In an instant, all the noisy ladies shut their mouths. They all looked over with wide eyes, shocked by Cen Ying's straightforward questioning, and their ears perked up, wanting to hear clearly.
"We treat each other as siblings and have never done anything inappropriate. He is a gentleman, and although I come from a poor family, I have a clean background and would never do anything obscene." Xing Xiaoya immediately stood up and said solemnly.
Although she loved men in her heart, this was ancient times and she would never show it. Otherwise, as these noble ladies said, she would be at most a concubine.
A concubine is a completely dishonorable existence and can only be a concubine for her entire life. Even if the mistress of the house dies, it will never be her turn to be promoted to the main wife.
Therefore, she had to eliminate all this from the root, and she was determined not to be labeled as a mistress.
Besides, even if she was not a concubine, she still owed the man her life-saving grace, and with the support of Princess Zhaoyang, she was just a guest, not a concubine who could be bullied by anyone.
"Madam Marquis, what do you think? Is this young man from your Jiang family? If you have any doubts, I can also ask the emperor to send a few Jinyiwei to take a look. If someone is pretending to be him, we can find out the loopholes." Princess Zhaoyang coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject.
She knew very well that Xing Xiaoya had developed feelings for Jiang Chengli, and that this brother-sister treatment was just a temporary excuse. If people really believed it, it would be difficult to bring them together in the future.
"No need to trouble you, Princess. Although my eyesight is blurry, I can still recognize my own son. He is my third son." Cen Ying waved her hand and recognized him directly.
"Oh, then how should the Marquis's wife deal with it?" Princess Zhaoyang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he would recognize her so quickly.
"Of course we have to bring him back to the Marquis' Mansion for questioning, and then let him go to the palace to apologize. As for Miss Xing, you saved the third brother, so you are a guest of honor in the Marquis' Mansion. Let me take a closer look at you." Cen Ying stood up, walked over, held Xing Xiaoya's hands, and looked at her carefully.
"Madam Hou, we have met before." Xing Xiaoya felt shy when she was observing her so closely, with an embarrassed smile on her face.
"Yes, I didn't expect such a fate to happen at that time." Cen Ying patted the back of her hand, looking quite kind.
The system immediately exposed her words: [What's going on? Madam Hou is obviously very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, but now she has Alzheimer's disease? That time when Xing Xiaoya took the blueprint of the jade pendant to the shop to find a craftsman to make it, she obviously ran into her and showed her the pattern, but she didn't come out? ]
[She said she didn't expect such a fate, but she should have doubted it at that time? Did she forget it so quickly? ]
The system remembered it very clearly. During that encounter, it was Cen Ying who noticed Xing Xiaoya. After seeing the pattern on the jade pendant, she recognized her directly and then took Jiang Chengli and Xing Xiaoya back to the Marquis' Mansion.
But the Marquis's wife seemed as if she didn't recognize him, and she missed the opportunity to recognize him. It was not until today, when she was recognized by other ladies in public, that Cen Ying was willing to acknowledge him.
[Host, this plot has been delayed a lot. Do you think Madam Hou did this on purpose? She didn't doubt it at all when she saw the pattern on the jade pendant before, and she didn't even send anyone to investigate. What went wrong? ]
After briefly analyzing the system's logic, he immediately realized that there were many loopholes and became very panicked.
[You've made so many mistakes, not just this one!] Xu Wanying sneered and reminded him immediately.
[What else is wrong? Can you tell me?] The system seemed to be under stress and kept asking questions.
[You are the system. You know better than me what has changed in the plot. Why ask me? You know it well.]
Xu Wanying directly blocked it back. The system provided a lot of inside information and it was indeed very accurate. However, since Xing Xiaoya appeared, things had become a little biased.
First of all, Jiang Chengli is deeply in love with Xing Xiaoya, so this news is wrong.
On the contrary, Jiang Chengli, the second male lead, hated Xing Xiaoya very much.
If even this most basic condition is wrong, then the future described by the system will be even more questionable.
Cen Ying's true thoughts were exposed by the system, and she coughed lightly with some discomfort.
Fortunately, she has a good mental state and can still maintain a kind smile on her face.
"Good girl, you look so kind and you are willing to help the third brother. I can tell at first glance that you are a kind-hearted girl." Cen Ying raised her voice slightly and praised her directly.
Everyone in the hall heard it clearly. Xing Xiaoya smiled embarrassedly with a pink face.
Princess Zhaoyang was also extremely delighted. Originally, the Jiang family women had reacted indifferently and had not responded. She thought that the Marquis of Loyalty disliked Xing Xiaoya. But now, she heard the Marquis's wife speak so bluntly and was willing to promote Xing Xiaoya, which showed that she was obviously satisfied with her.
"Miss Xing, what do you think of me?" the Marquis's wife asked again.
"Madam Hou has a kind face and treats people kindly. She reminds me of Guanyin Bodhisattva." Xing Xiaoya answered politely, and it was obvious that they were praising each other.
"Good child, you saved the third brother, and when you saw that he had lost his memory, you accompanied him to Wangjing to look for his relatives. I can never repay you for this kindness. You and I hit it off right away and got along very well. How about I take you as my goddaughter today? If you don't mind, you can call me godmother. From now on, the Marquis' Mansion is your home, and the third brother is your brother." Cen Ying raised her hand, patted her shoulder gently, and brushed the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears with extremely gentle movements.
As soon as she said this, the hall instantly became lively and everyone was obviously very surprised that she actually acknowledged her as her goddaughter.
Jiang Jinyu reacted quickly, stood up immediately, and took Xing Xiaoya's arm, chuckled and said, "I have three older brothers in my family, and I have been lacking a sister since I was a child. Today is finally the day I've been waiting for. From now on, Xiaoya will be like me and call him the third brother instead of the eldest brother."
The mother and daughter stood on the left and right, and with just a few words, they not only dispelled everyone's speculation about Xing Xiaoya and Jiang Chengli, but also curbed the rumors and established Xing Xiaoya's identity.
If you acknowledge her as your godparent, there is no possibility of having a mistress.
How could a brother and sister sleep in the same bed? This was completely impossible in ancient times, which fundamentally blocked Xing Xiaoya's thoughts.
Princess Zhaoyang said urgently: "Absolutely not!"
