Chapter 168: Stepfather and Stepmother Invite You to Tea

"Princess, you can't do this. I know you and Ningning have a deep sisterly love, but if Ningning is adopted by the Queen, she will definitely be named a princess. Being named a princess is not a good thing."

Lin Xiangyin immediately spoke up to stop Chu Lange's dangerous idea.

Chu Lange looked at Lin Xiangyin in confusion: "Why? If Jiang Youning is canonized as a princess, no one will dare to mess with her in the future."

Lin Xiangyin looked at Chu Lange seriously and spoke in a serious tone:

“Princess, you know that as a princess, you have enjoyed a life of luxury and honor since childhood.

But if necessary, you must make certain sacrifices for this honor.”

At this point, Lin Xiangyin's tone became even deeper:

"Princess, do you remember the Grand Princess back then? The favors she received when she was young were probably no less than yours, right? But do you still remember what kind of princess she faced later?"

"If Ningning becomes a princess, and you, as the legitimate princess, have the support of the empress, if there is a real need... Ningning, will you be pushed out?"

Lin Xiangyin stopped there.

Chu Lange thought of her aunt's rough past, and immediately changed her mind: "What you said makes sense, then you can adopt me as your adopted daughter?"

As he spoke, Chu Lange suddenly had an idea and simply grabbed the tea bowls in front of Lin Xiangyin and Jiang Huaian and knelt down:

"This ancestral hall is a great place. Heaven and earth are my witnesses. Today, I, Chu Lange, will recognize Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang as my adoptive parents. Please have some tea, adoptive parents!"

“…”

The people in front of him were stunned.

Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong were standing outside the ancestral hall. When they saw Chu Lange kneeling there, they were shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

The eunuch who was leading the way was so slow in reacting that he tripped over the doorstep and lost his front teeth on the spot.

[I woke up so fast, should I lie down on the ground and sleep for a few seconds before opening my eyes again? ]

[That is to say, my parents just lost an adopted son, and now they have a adopted daughter. ]

[If the Queen knew about this, she would be so angry that she would die, right? ]

[Chu Lange...I have never admired anyone in my life, but now you are my only one.]

???

Jiang Wanrong turned her head.

Just last night he said he would support her for the rest of her life, and now Princess Yongning is his only one?

Scumbag!!!

The eunuch broke his teeth and bled at the door of the ancestral hall. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the hall to apologize, then ran to the empress dowager to beg for mercy.

The guards on duty nearby immediately arranged for someone to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.

Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong walked in, and then slowly said: "Lang Gege, what are you doing..."

"Oh, Sixth Sister, you came at the right time. When my stepfather and stepmother drink this cup of tea, you will be my sister from now on. This princess will definitely take good care of you and my brother with all her heart!"

Chu Lange's brows immediately lit up when she saw Jiang Youning, but she couldn't get up because she hadn't offered the tea yet.

"Princess... please don't act silly. If I had drunk your tea today, I'm afraid my whole family would have died in this palace."

Jiang Huaian felt like crying at this moment.

The chief eunuch saw everything and left.

Your Majesty will probably know about this soon, right?

Is he really going to be tricked to death by Princess Yongning today?

Who would have thought that if I didn't have the last dinner at home the night before yesterday, it might become forever today.

"Princess, please get up. You are a royal family, and the Jiang family cannot afford you."

Lin Xiangyin never felt that compared to Princess Yongning, who would kill someone without mercy, her Heng'er and little Wukong were really very sensible.

Your Majesty and the Queen are really something, do they know that their own child likes to make false claims and claim to be his parents?

"Lang Gege, you better get up quickly. If your father and mother get wind of this, our whole family will be punished. Can you bear it?"

In the end, it was Jiang Youning who walked over and pulled the person up.

On the side, Little Wukong glanced at Chu Lange.

Now he understood.

This not-so-bright princess is his biological sister.

He immediately ran over with a smile and whispered beside Chu Lange: "Princess sister is so stupid. In fact, you don't have to recognize Jiang's father and mother as your parents. Your parents are my parents, so my parents are naturally your parents."

???

Chu Lange couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are actually planning to take advantage of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress?"

But she thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.

After realizing this, she immediately put down her teacup and started to talk:

"Jiang Youning is not suitable to be adopted as my mother's daughter, but this short-legged kid can be adopted as my mother's son, right? After all, the prince does not need to marry off."

“…”

The Jiang family fell silent again.

Fortunately.

Not long after, Fu Kang, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Wenzong of Chu, ran over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the Minister of Personnel Jiang Huaian has not completed my task within two days. I am deeply disappointed and order him to return home and reflect on his mistakes for a month. I respectfully accept this."

This decree from Emperor Wenzong of Chu was simply good news for Jiang Huaian.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Jiang Huaian knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, he pulled Lin Xiangyin up, used all his strength, and ran towards the palace gate without looking back.
