Xing Xiaoya was nervous, but not sure, so she could only wink at Jin'er.

"Mammy, what's going on? Could you please tell me?" Jin'er stepped forward and asked. This time she took out a purse from her sleeve. It was bulging, obviously filled with a lot of silver.

Nanny Li refused, "Miss Jin'er, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the princess invited Madam Jiang in directly and asked me to pass it on, and I didn't have time to hear it. But Madam Jiang came to pick us up in person and showed her enough respect, so she can't lie."

Seeing that she insisted, Jin'er knew that she couldn't say more, so she could only turn to look at Xing Xiaoya and let her make the decision.

Xing Xiaoya took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the expectations in her heart so as not to appear too happy.

She walked forward, took the purse from Jin'er's hand, and stuffed it into Li Ma's arms with a little force.

"Mammy, please accept this purse. Mammy is right. Thank you for leading the way."

Nanny Li smiled instantly and immediately led the way.

"Miss Xing is indeed generous and kind. No wonder the princess is good friends with you." She did not forget to praise him.

Xing Xiaoya followed her all the way to the main hall. All the maids around her stayed outside and followed the eldest princess' maid into the hall.

Nanny Li waited until she could no longer see her back before she took out the purse from her bosom and stuffed it back into Jin'er's pocket.

"You can keep this silver for yourself."

Jin Er quickly refused: "Mammy, I said I would give it to you, why are you sending it back?"

"I don't need these. She is using your purse as a favor. People who don't know would think the silver in it is her reward. When the princess comes back, if she has given you the money, you can give it to me." There was a sneer on Nanny Li's face.

This time Jin'er didn't dare to refuse and took it back obediently.

Nanny Li is the eldest princess's personal nanny and has an extraordinary status.

After the princess clearly defended Xing Xiaoya, the servants in the princess's mansion did not dare to neglect Miss Xing. Only Nanny Li dared to do so.

Xing Xiaoya was naturally unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, she was standing in the hall, feeling very nervous.

After she had paid her respects, the princess did not ask her to stand up. It was only after Madam Jiang II spoke that she stood up.

But no one let her sit down, so she just stood there, like a decoration, being stared at by everyone.

Although she lowered her head and didn't need to look at these people at all, she could still feel those gazes scanning her, which almost drove her crazy.

"Miss Xing is indeed a good girl. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness hit it off with you right away. She wants to adopt you as her goddaughter and has specially sent the second wife to pick you up. Zhaoyang is not at the mansion, so I will take you there. This is a gift for you. Take it with you to the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's mansion."

The princess spoke very quickly and in a tone that left no room for doubt, and she made the decision for her directly.

Xing Xiaoya had originally been expecting him to take her into the mansion to renew her old relationship with Brother Dazhuang, but when she heard this, she felt as if struck by lightning.

If she really adopted her as a goddaughter, then she and Jiang Chengli would be confirmed as siblings, and there would be no possibility of them being together.

"No, let's wait until Princess Zhaoyang comes back." Xing Xiaoya suddenly became anxious and refused directly with a very urgent tone.

The eldest princess couldn't help but frown. She had always disliked Xing Xiaoya, and she didn't expect her reply to be so inappropriate. She felt even more uncomfortable.

"Zhaoyang is accompanying his mother in the palace and will be back for a long time. If she knew you have a good future, she would be happy for you from the bottom of her heart." Her tone rose slightly, with a hint of coldness, and it was obvious that she would not tolerate rejection.

"Your Highness, I was invited to the Princess's Mansion by the County Lord. If I want to leave, I have to tell her in advance, otherwise I'm afraid I will disappoint her." Xing Xiaoya naturally noticed her displeasure and immediately changed her tone, becoming cautious and testing.

"How do you want to tell her in advance? Go to the palace and tell her?" The eldest princess obviously had no patience and asked back in a cold voice.

Facing such a strong princess, Xing Xiaoya was also frightened. She coughed lightly and continued, "The palace is majestic and solemn. How can a commoner enter? I can wait for her here. The princess is an extremely important person to me. If I recognize her as my godparent, I would also like to get her witness--"

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the eldest princess.

"What do you mean? Do you want Madam Jiang to make a wasted trip?"

"Hey, Your Highness, I don't think Miss Xing meant that." Lu Ling quickly spoke out to stop her, obviously trying to smooth things over.

However, the princess obviously didn't buy it. She sneered and said directly, "Miss Xing, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty wants to adopt you as her goddaughter and even sent her second daughter-in-law to pick you up. This is enough to show how much the Jiang family values ​​you. Not only do they feel like they have known you for a long time, but they also want to repay you for saving Mr. Jiang Sanye and can't bear to see you wandering alone in Wangjing."

"Zhaoyang is on good terms with you and lets you live in the princess's mansion, but you are a guest after all, and you must have encountered many inconveniences. You always feel uneasy, like a floating duckweed, without a safe place to stay. But now the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion is willing to extend an olive branch and make it so grand, but you are making excuses. What does this mean? Do you think the Jiang family has given too little and want to blackmail them into repaying the favor?" The eldest princess said as she glanced at her lightly.

Although it was a very brief glance, the fierce momentum could not be concealed at all.

In addition, her questioning tone was so aggressive that Xing Xiaoya froze on the spot.

The hall fell into deathly silence. This time, Lu Ling did not speak. She just turned her head to stare at the teacup on the table, studying the pattern on it.

In fact, her rescue just now was just a pretense. After all, she came to take the person back to recognize him as a godparent, so she still had to show a kind attitude.

However, Xing Xiaoya obviously did not stop while she was ahead. She was spoiled by Princess Zhaoyang and thought that the princess would tolerate her.

In fact, this eldest princess has been favored since the time of the previous emperor. She is also the younger sister of the current emperor. No one dared to disobey her since she was a child, and she always has the final say.

Now Xing Xiaoya is a commoner woman, not only does she not keep a low profile, but she also continues to make excuses after the princess has expressed her attitude. It is inevitable that she will be embarrassed.

"I didn't mean that, Your Highness..." Xing Xiaoya hurriedly denied.

"That's not what I meant. Just get in the car quickly and don't keep the Marquis's wife waiting too long. As a junior, you should know the rules, otherwise you'll just make people laugh at you." The eldest princess didn't even give her a chance to finish her words and started scolding her straight away.

Xing Xiaoya's face turned red. She was so frightened that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but she was also very angry.

These ancient people with old-fashioned ideas were just lucky to be reborn. In fact, they had very narrow vision and dared to laugh at her and make a fool of themselves. This eldest princess was the biggest joke.

However, no matter how much she thought in her heart, she did not dare to delay any longer. Instead, she stood up obediently, saluted Lu Ling, and got on the Jiang family's carriage.
