Regardless of whether Wang Ruyi really saw it or was just testing it.
Ying Xixi had no intention of hiding the matter and admitted it straightforwardly.
"Yes, I really don't want to marry Zhao Mu, but you want to marry Zhao Mu, right?
You pushed me into the pond a month ago on purpose so you could marry Zhao Mu. You hoped I would die so you could marry into the Zhao family in my place, right?
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought before."
Wang Ruyi admitted it. She raised her eyes and looked at Ying Xixi with a complicated look.
“But I didn’t expect you to wake up again after being in a coma for a month.
I thought you might pass out.
But I also didn't expect that even if you died, I might not be able to marry into the Zhao family.
Sister, do you think Mr. Zhao and father will agree to cancel your engagement with Zhao Mu this time?"
"If you agree, we'll both be happy. If you disagree, what can you do?"
Ying Xixi asked directly.
Wang Ruyi lowered her eyes and said, "If you don't agree, my sister and Zhao Mu's marriage will continue.
Since my sister doesn't want to continue the engagement, how about she cooperate with me?"
Ying Xixi raised her eyebrows, "Cooperation? If it's cooperation, there must be conditions.
Your desire to marry Zhao Mu should be more urgent than my desire to cancel the engagement.
If you want to cooperate with me, then tell me what you can promise me first."
Ying Xixi was fearless, and Wang Ruyi also seemed to be well prepared.
There were footsteps outside the house, but Wang Ruyi didn't say anything else.
Soon, the door was pushed open and the wealthy businessman Wang rushed in aggressively.
He was furious when he saw both of his daughters were there.
"What the hell are you two doing?!
Ruyi, when did you get together with Mr. Zhao?
And you, Xixi, who told you that? How could you go and catch someone in adultery so accurately?!
It was a good marriage, but you two ruined it like this!
Now everyone in the capital knows that Young Master Zhao betrayed my legitimate daughter and had an affair with my concubine's daughter!
You two are literally stepping on my face!"
Mr. Wang was furious and swore.
"Father, now that this matter has been known by so many people, the Zhao family must give Third Sister an explanation no matter what, otherwise what will happen to the child in her belly?
Father, since Young Master Zhao and my third sister are in love and have already become husband and wife, I am willing to help them. I will cancel my engagement with Young Master Zhao and let them get married."
Ying Xixi held her handkerchief and lowered her head, sad but willing to give in.
"No!" Mr. Wang refused without hesitation. "The engagement cannot be cancelled! I've already met with the Zhao family, and they don't agree to cancel the engagement."
Wang Ruyi became anxious when he heard this.
"Father, what about me? What about the baby in my belly?!"
Rich businessman Wang snorted coldly. As much as he doted on Wang Ruyi, his concubine, in the past, his eyes were now filled with anger.
"What are you going to do? What else do you want to do?!
I never thought you could be so shameless! You actually seduced your elder sister's fiancé behind her back!
Even the kids were born!
The Zhao family didn't ask you to get rid of the child, out of respect for me!"
Mr. Wang took a deep breath with a dark face, "The Zhao family said that the engagement between Mr. Zhao and Xixi will remain as before, and as compensation for Xixi, the Zhao family will give 80 sets of betrothal gifts.
As for you, Ruyi, the Zhao family has given you two choices.
Or you can give birth to the child in the Wang family. After the child is born, the Zhao family will send someone to pick him up, and he will be registered under Xixi's name as a legitimate son or daughter.
Or, on the day of Xixi and Master Zhao's wedding, you can go to the Zhao family as a concubine.
You are a concubine, and the Zhao family is willing to let you be their concubine. This is already for my sake. Make your own choice!"
After saying this, Mr. Wang turned away.
Ying Xixi leaned back and picked up a grape to eat.
She looked at Wang Ruyi's pale face and became a little curious.
"Are you really pregnant?
What do you want to choose between these two options given by the Zhao family? "
Wang Ruyi rubbed her belly and said, "I never tell lies, I am naturally pregnant with Zhao Mu's child.
When I met him today, I was planning to tell him about this, but I didn't expect my sister to suddenly rush in with so many people.
The Zhao family really doesn’t want to cancel the engagement, but sister, do you want to know the reason?
How about you cooperate with me and I'll tell you why the Zhao family won't cancel the engagement and insists on letting you marry in? "
Ying Xixi narrowed her eyes, and her guess turned out to be true.
There must be a reason why the Zhao family wanted her to marry him!
"First, tell me your choice and how you want to cooperate with me."
Wang Ruyi nodded, "I don't want to choose either of those two options.
I just want to be Zhao Mu's legal wife, so my cooperation with you is that on your wedding day, I will marry into the Zhao family on your behalf.
I will arrange for a maid to pretend to be me and go to the Zhao family.
Sister, do you think this cooperation is to your liking?
When this is discovered, I will tell everyone that you didn't know anything and that I knocked you out and replaced you. How about that? "
Upon hearing this, Ying Xixi looked at Wang Ruyi twice more.
"Yes, I promise."
Wang Ruyi breathed a visibly relieved sigh, "I wonder if Sister has ever heard Mother-in-law talk about your maternal grandparents?"
Ying Xixi thought about it and realized that there really wasn't one.
She didn't have a good relationship with her biological mother.
It was because my biological mother once had a man she loved, but they were separated by my grandfather.
Her grandfather forced her to marry the wealthy businessman Wang.
Because she is the biological daughter of the wealthy businessman Wang, her biological mother also dislikes her.
"No."
Ying Xixi answered frankly.
"That's right, maybe even my stepmother doesn't know about this.
The reason why the Zhao family insists on you marrying into their family is because your grandfather left you a treasure.
It is said that this treasure is greater than the entire Zhao family's wealth.
Whoever marries you will get this treasure.
As a third-rank official, Lord Zhao had status but lacked money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't marry into a merchant family like the Wang family."
Wang Ruyi's words made Ying Xixi at a loss for words.
Is this the reason?
That’s it?
"I don't know about this. If this is true, then after I get married, how will the Zhao family get the treasure?"
"I heard this by chance from a drunk Zhao Mu.
After you get married, your grandfather will send someone to tell you the address of the treasure.
This is the moment the Zhao family has been waiting for."
After Wang Ruyi finished speaking, he looked up at Ying Xixi.
"Sister, I have told you this secret, our cooperation has paid off.
I will then marry you into the Zhao family."
Ying Xixi and Wang Ruyi looked at each other, trying to see if there were any other emotions in her eyes, such as guilt.
But no.
After a while, Ying Xixi agreed.
"Okay, then, just come over quietly."
After Wang Ruyi left, Ying Xixi recalled the original plot.
