Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy
Chapter 163 Testing the Situation
Xing Xiaoya was very nervous the whole time. Since Jiang Jinyu sat close to her, she tried every means to chat with her, and her words were all about persuading her to be her godsister.
"Tsk, Jinyu, why are you trying to steal my girl? I've already told you that Xiaoya and I can only treat each other as sisters, so don't make trouble by getting involved." After Princess Zhaoyang noticed this, she spoke out to stop her again, and this time her tone was very serious.
Jiang Jinyu blinked and smiled indifferently.
"Princess, you are too nervous. Xiaoya looks quite similar to our Jiang family. When I see her, it's like seeing a twin sister. I feel close to her. Even if I can't recognize her as a godparent, it's not too much to call her sister, right?"
Compared to the tension in Princess Zhaoyang's tone, Jiang Jinyu seemed very relaxed, as if all he said were jokes.
Princess Zhaoyang curled her lips and whispered softly, "I don't know you yet. You're testing me half-truthfully. It would be best if it works. If it doesn't work, just say it's a joke. Haha—"
She sneered. She had been in and out of the palace with the eldest princess since she was a child, and she had witnessed too many intrigues.
Of course, Jiang Jinyu's words did not constitute any conspiracy, they were just a witty remark.
Jiang Jinyu pretended not to hear her complaints. She didn't want to argue with the princess.
After all this trouble, it seemed as if Xing Xiaoya had really become a popular commodity, and everyone was scrambling to become her godchild.
In fact, if it weren’t for the prophecy of the artifact and the influence of her father and brother at home on Xing Xiaoya, Jiang Jinyu would have had no intention of becoming related to her, because not everyone can be her sister.
At the banquet that followed, Princess Zhaoyang was like an old hen, always protecting Xing Xiaoya like her chicks.
Even when a noble lady came to talk to her, Princess Zhaoyang was multitasking, keeping an eye on Xing Xiaoya all the time, as if she was afraid that she would be deceived by the Jiang family.
Xu Wanying ate snacks while looking around, observing all kinds of life.
Anyway, at this time, everyone is busy making friends with the powerful and influential, and almost no one cares about a small character like her.
[Host, don't keep staring at Xiaoya. She has already noticed something is wrong.] The system couldn't help but remind her.
Xu Wanying frowned slightly: [Funny, she was clearly staring at me, so I looked back.]
[Then you don’t have to keep staring at her! If someone didn’t know, I’d think you two hit it off right away! ]
The system has always been subject to energy checks and balances, and the monitoring of the development of the plot is not real-time, and there are often errors and omissions.
But now that we are here, we can naturally discover it.
The two women made eye contact again and again, but every time they looked at each other, Xu Wanying refused to look away and kept staring at the person.
After a few times, Xing Xiaoya also noticed it, and her temper seemed to rise. She stared at her with wide eyes, unwilling to move away, and didn't even blink.
The two seemed to be playing a game called "Whoever blinks first loses". By the end, their eyes felt sore and swollen.
Xing Xiaoya's eyes even turned red and a little wet, as if she was about to cry.
"what happened?"
Princess Zhaoyang had been paying attention to her and soon noticed that something was wrong with her. She immediately asked in a low voice.
Xing Xiaoya waved her hands, obviously unwilling to speak. Later, after she asked repeatedly, she said a few words.
Princess Zhaoyang said a few words to the maid beside her, and soon the maid came over and stopped beside Xu Wanying, saying softly: "Madam Jiang San, the princess invites you to come over and talk."
Cen Ying looked over with some concern and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xu Wanying.
"Mom, my little sister is there. I'll be back soon." She was very calm and not at all panicked.
Cen Ying turned her head and saw Jiang Jinyu waving at their table from a distance with a smile on her face. It was obvious that nothing serious had happened.
"Go ahead, if there's anything wrong, come and ask me."
Cen Ying watched her leave, following her with her eyes all the time, obviously very worried.
Princess Zhaoyang's table saw the interaction between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
"Madam Hou is very concerned about the Third Madam. Do you think I will bully you?"
When Xu Wanying walked up to her, the first words Princess Zhaoyang said sounded like she was looking for trouble.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I seldom go out, and my mother-in-law is worried that I will say something wrong and upset you. Besides, I have been recuperating at home due to my poor health, and my mother-in-law often comes to visit me and brings me food every now and then. We are as close as mother and daughter, so naturally she is worried about me."
Xu Wanying did not take Princess Zhaoyang's provocation to heart, but instead gave a very appropriate answer.
"Mrs. Jiang San is quite good at talking."
Zhaoyang was silent for a moment, looked her up and down, and then said indifferently.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Xu Wanying accepted it calmly, as if she didn't understand the meaning behind it.
"I'm not praising you, I'm just curious. There were some rumors before, saying that your marriage with Jiang Lao San was not legitimate, and you've been laughed at for a long time." Princess Zhaoyang gritted her teeth and refused to give up easily.
"Don't believe all the rumors. Third sister-in-law is good-looking, has a good temper, is kind and filial, and everyone in our house praises her. Princess, you must not believe those lies." Jiang Jinyu spoke immediately.
Her praise was genuine and she threw out the nice words as if they were free, which made Princess Zhaoyang feel jealous.
You have to know that Jiang Jinyu is a noble lady and it is difficult for her to socialize on a daily basis. Girls from ordinary families don't dare to speak in front of her for fear of causing trouble.
When Jiang Jinyu went out, she gave people a very cold and aloof impression. I had never heard her praise anyone like this before, and she was always proud of her status. Now that I heard this, I got goose bumps.
Princess Zhaoyang's attempt was actually to see what Xu Wanying's situation was like in the Jiang family.
Before, Xu Wanying relied on extraordinary means to marry into the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion. On the wedding day, her husband left for Beijing on business without even having a bridal chamber, and she was hit on the head by Pan Ge'er, leaving with a bloody mess.
Even though the Marquis's Mansion tried to keep the secret secret, there is no wall that is impenetrable. After some twists and turns, Princess Zhaoyang finally found out. It was obvious that she would not live long.
She thought Xu Wanying must be living a very bad life, and even ready to die at any time. But today, when she saw the women of the Jiang family defending her, Princess Zhaoyang realized that she was wrong.
Not only was Mrs. Jiang San not disliked by anyone, she was even very popular. Even Jiang Jinyu, the difficult and beautiful lady from Gaoling, was afraid that she would be bullied and spoke all kinds of nice words to protect her.
It was extremely difficult for Xing Xiaoya to infiltrate the female members of the Marquis's Mansion.
