Chapter 339 Wishful thinking

In the end, only Pei Shaorong knew how much she had learned.

Anyway, when she left, the blush on her face had not dissipated, and Xu's mother asked about it with concern, thinking that she was feeling unwell.

How could she dare to say it? When Xu's mother asked, she ran away even more.

The matter of the eldest princess's adoption of her daughter was finally completed before the New Year.

That day at the eldest princess's mansion, almost all the noble families with a little reputation in the capital were invited to watch the ceremony. Everyone witnessed this highly anticipated and even grand recognition banquet with their own eyes.

The palace also gave face and generous gifts, so that some people who kept speculating privately shut up.

From today on, Xu Muhua officially became the adopted daughter of the eldest princess and her husband, and also became a brother and sister with Ling Hongge.

Ling Hongge also had complicated feelings towards Xu Muhua.

At first, he really had a good impression of her. Unfortunately, before it could develop, it was cut off by his so-called biological mother.

When he later found out that she was involved in the affairs of the Ling Mansion, his mood became even more complicated.

He didn't know whether to be grateful to her or blame her.

Ever since he was sensible, someone around him kept telling him about his identity and his situation. He was told not to forget his true identity and not to forget his biological parents.

He also understood the meaning of these words, and he would agree as long as it was not excessive. After all, they were his biological parents, as well as his grandparents, his closest relatives.

Sometimes he couldn't help but feel annoyed, because he saw through the greed hidden under the benevolent appearance of his biological parents. He even suspected that they gave him to his aunt to raise not as the outside world rumored, but simply for profit.

But he never expected that the truth was far more cruel and ugly than he thought.

The good news was probably that he became his aunt's biological son! Not adopted, but biological! And his father was still alive!

"Master Ling, the Princess's Mansion is so lively today, why are you here alone in a daze?"

A sudden female voice called Ling Hongge back to his senses.

He turned his head and saw that his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and soon relaxed, feeling a little helpless.

It was this concubine's daughter named Pei Zhen from the Taifu Mansion again.

Although Ling Hongge didn't think much about it at first, he encountered Miss Pei from time to time after that banquet. No matter how stupid he was, he had to doubt it.

"It turned out to be Miss Pei II."

Pei Zhen's face lit up, and she looked at Ling Hongge shyly with shyness on her pink face, "It turned out that Master Ling remembered me."

Ling Hongge: "..."

Wrong decision!

What do you mean by remember or not? He didn't lose his memory. On the contrary, he had a good memory. He was one of the protagonists that day when the Miss Pei II made trouble at the banquet. How could he not remember it?

Why did she act as if he remembered her for some special reason?

Ling Hongge smiled slightly, said nothing, and wanted to leave.

He still understood the word "avoid suspicion", especially when he suspected that this woman had ulterior motives.

"Master Ling, are you unhappy?"

Pei Zhen asked anxiously when he saw that he was about to leave.

Ling Hongge was a little stunned, "What, what?"

Pei Zhen had an expression of "I understand, I understand you", and she deliberately softened her voice, "Master Ling, actually I understand, I also understand your mood at the moment. You are the only child of the eldest princess and the prince consort. Originally, all their love belonged to you, but now they have to give half of it to someone who has nothing to do with you."

"But it doesn't matter, actually you don't need to worry about this matter, and you don't need to worry about an extra sister. She is just an adopted daughter, you are the eldest princess and the prince consort's biological son! "

For the first time in his life, Ling Hongge felt speechless.

Is this Second Miss Pei mentally ill? What nonsense is she talking about?

He was unhappy only because he just remembered the matter of the Ling Mansion. No one would be happy if such a thing happened to them, right? Why did she talk as if she understood him very well, but in fact they had nothing in common, okay?

However, Ling Hongge's good upbringing still prevented him from saying anything embarrassing. He just said with a faint expression: "Second Miss Pei, you think too much. Aunt - I am not unhappy that mother adopted Miss Xu as her adopted daughter. On the contrary, I am very happy. "

But when he said that, Pei Zhen was more convinced that he was being stubborn and refused to admit it.

How could he be happy?

The favor and resources that originally belonged to him alone were now to be shared with an unrelated person. Even if only a small part was given away, it was enough to make people unhappy.

After all, Xu Muhua was neither from the Princess's Mansion nor from the Prince Consort's side. It was just that Xu Muhua had used some means to please the Princess.

Pei Zhen showed an understanding expression on his face, "I understand, Master Ling, you don't have to be like this in front of me. I really understand you."

Ling Hongge's patience was really exhausted. It

was simply inexplicable!

Ling Hongge frowned, "Second Miss Pei, I don't know why you insist on believing that I am unhappy, but I say again, I am happy to accept Miss Xu as my sister! Please stop talking nonsense in the future!"

"Otherwise, even if I have the face of the Crown Princess, I will not let it go!" It would be fine

if Pei Shaorong was not mentioned. As soon as Pei Shaorong was mentioned, Pei Zhen couldn't control her ugly expression.

Even though she adjusted her expression in time, Ling Hongge still saw deep jealousy in her eyes.

Pei Zhen looked at Ling Hongge with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Ling, why do you say that? Did I do something wrong? I just want to comfort you. Because I fell from the rockery before, and you saved me. I have always been grateful to you and wanted to find a chance to repay you. I have no bad intentions. "

Of course she would not reveal her thoughts now.

When Ling Hongge was still the eldest princess's adopted son, she felt that he was the best candidate for her future husband. Now that he is the eldest princess's biological son, it goes without saying.

Pei Zhen has made up her mind that no matter what, she must hold on to this man and this opportunity!

And now she is worthy of him! Although she is a concubine's daughter, her grandfather is the Imperial Tutor, her father is also a high-ranking official in the court, and now her elder sister has become the Crown Princess, and will be the Empress in the future!

It's not that Pei Zhen didn't want to hook up with Zhao Chengye, but she has no chance at all, and she can't get in touch with Zhao Chengye, the Crown Prince.
