Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

Princess Zhaoyang shouted this abruptly, which sounded quite startled and frightened the people around her.

Everyone looked over in confusion, wanting to know the answer.

"Why not?" Cen Ying also asked.

Princess Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment. From what Xing Xiaoya had said before, she could feel that Xing Xiaoya had feelings for Jiang Chengli, so naturally she couldn't let them recognize each other as siblings.

But now, in front of everyone, I couldn't say it at all.

"In short, you can't acknowledge her as your goddaughter." Princess Zhaoyang said in a somewhat stiff tone.

She is used to playing tricks. Anyway, with her status, she can achieve her goal even without giving any reason.

But it is obvious that Cen Ying is not so easy to fool.

She looked at Xing Xiaoya and asked softly, "Miss Xing, are you unwilling?"

"I'm not unwilling. I'm just a girl from a poor family. It's my blessing to be appreciated by the Marquis's wife and to be adopted as her goddaughter." Xing Xiaoya said softly, pulling up the corners of her lips and forcing a smile.

"It's settled then." Cen Ying immediately took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it directly on her hand.

"When you wear this bracelet, you will be my daughter from now on."

Xing Xiaoya retracted her arms, as if she wanted to avoid it, but she didn't dare to make any big movements, so she looked half-hearted.

"Madam Marquis, I told you it's not necessary." Princess Zhaoyang rushed forward, pulled Xing Xiaoya away, and stood in front of her, looking as if she was protecting her.

Cen Ying was almost knocked down by her, but fortunately Jiang Jinyu supported her, and the mother and daughter managed to stand firmly.

Everyone in the hall looked over, surprised at Princess Zhaoyang's behavior.

"Princess, what do you mean?" Cen Ying's voice also turned cold.

The men in the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion all hold important positions, and they are extremely powerful at the moment. Even if the emperor dotes on Princess Zhaoyang, if Princess Zhaoyang does something too much, he will have to give an explanation to the Jiang family.

Cen Ying is the mistress of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion and she is not someone who can be bullied easily.

"Madam Hou, I was in a hurry just now, are you okay?"

Princess Zhaoyang obviously knew how serious the situation was and she coughed lightly with a guilty look on her face.

"It's nothing, it's just that the princess has repeatedly prevented me and Xiaoya from recognizing my relationship. If there is any hidden story in this, please tell me, otherwise I'm afraid I will not be able to sleep or eat well." Cen Ying waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.

Although her tone was calm when she said this, her attitude was very clear; she wanted Princess Zhaoyang to give an explanation.

"It's like this, my mother and Xiaoya hit it off right away. I had intended to adopt her as my goddaughter before, but I can't let the marquis' wife snatch her away." Princess Zhaoyang coughed lightly. Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she could only bite the bullet and say it.

What she said was totally unreasonable. Everyone knew that the eldest princess was of noble birth and was very arrogant.

The eldest princess doesn't completely look down on commoners. She looks up to anyone who has ability.

But obviously, Xing Xiaoya is not included.

Princess Zhaoyang felt very close to Xing Xiaoya. She did not despise Xing Xiaoya's background and even brought her into the princess's mansion.

But the eldest princess was different. Although she was not happy about Zhaoyang bringing a commoner girl back to live with her, there was no need to make him unhappy over such a trivial matter. The eldest princess just turned a blind eye.

But asking her to adopt Xing Xiaoya as her goddaughter was simply nonsense and impossible.

Being recognized as a godchild is not something that can be done with just a few words. A banquet has to be held and relatives and friends have to come. The Princess's Mansion has made such a big fuss, which is completely an announcement to the world.

"Oh? Your Highness, do you really have this idea?" Cen Ying's eyelids twitched, but she did not show it. Instead, she looked at Princess Zhaoyang and asked another question.

Her eyes were serious, obviously trying to tell if he was lying.

Facing Cen Ying's eyes, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly felt guilty, but since she had said it, she naturally couldn't take it back.

Let's just fool around for now. Anyway, we can't let Xing Xiaoya be our goddaughter, and I guess no one dares to ask the eldest princess.

"Of course. I won't lie for such a small matter." Princess Zhaoyang held her head high and chest puffed out, putting on an arrogant look, hoping that Cen Ying would give up.

Little did she know that the more she behaved like this, the weaker she appeared, and her true nature of disguise was revealed.

"Okay, Xiaoya is a really lovely girl. Even the eldest princess wants to adopt her as her goddaughter. Logically, I should retreat. I am unwilling to miss such a lovely daughter. Her Highness can be in the mansion today, so why don't I visit her and ask her if I can be added as a godmother. I can have more than one godmother--" Cen Ying raised her hand again and touched Xing Xiaoya's hair, looking so loving.

She looked as if she was looking at her own child. She was afraid that the child would melt if she held it in her mouth, and afraid that the child would fly away if she held it in her hands.

"No! No!" Princess Zhaoyang became excited again. She stood in front of him again, looking at Cen Ying as if she was guarding against a thief, afraid that she would snatch Xing Xiaoya away.

"How can that be! Although you can have several godmothers, I've never seen anyone have so many godmothers. Madam Hou, everything should be based on first come first served." Zhaoyang became more and more impatient and his tone became serious. It sounded like there was no room for negotiation.

Cen Ying raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, the princess is right."

Seeing that she finally retreated, Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a close call. The marquis’s wife was really capable. She almost couldn’t stop it.

[Oh, I'm so nervous. 】

The system, which had not spoken for a long time, dared to speak now.

[You are still nervous? ]

[Of course, the heroine and the second male lead almost became siblings, how can this be done? ] The system snorted.

Xu Wanying blinked and deliberately said teasingly: [Why not? They are not real siblings. In novels, pseudo-orthopedics is still very popular, and many people like to read it. ]

[Host, you speak so nicely today, it is true. Hehehehe...] The system began to laugh evilly.

This conversation between one person and one person stunned the Jiang family.

What is pseudo-orthopedics? I have never heard of this term, but considering her context, I can roughly guess what it means.

It turns out that even if they become godparents, they can't avoid it? It can only be said that when Xu Wanying came, people played very colorfully, and even the ancients who had seen the world could not resist.

[What Zhaoyang said was false, right? ] Xu Wanying continued to ask.

[It's fake. She saw that Xiaoya and Jiang Chengli were in love, so she wanted to bring them together. After all, this is ancient times, and etiquette can crush people. If they really call each other brother and sister, how can they talk about love in the future? They will be criticized by thousands of people.]

The system couldn't help but take a breath when it said this: [Fortunately, Princess Zhaoyang reacted quickly, otherwise there would be no way to end it. Although pseudo-orthopedics is okay and has a sense of taboo, there are more than just the two of them in this era, so we still have to consider the eyes of others. ]

The banquet continued, and as a foreign man, Jiang Chengli naturally couldn't stay for long.

He bowed to everyone and turned to leave.

The hall became lively again. Although the man left, the mystery surrounding him was not solved.

Why did he lose his memory? What did the court say? Did he complete his mission? Will it affect his future career? How will the emperor punish him?

Various problems arise one after another, and the relationship with Miss Xing is also confusing.

Even though both of them said they were brother and sister, few people here actually believed it. Everyone was looking forward to what was to come.
