Chapter 880: 121 Righteous Younger Sister_2

Zhao Hongde wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how to begin.

Seeing his embarrassed yet anxious demeanor, Xia Zheng couldn’t help but laugh as he teased with his arm around Lin Yuan’s, "What did I tell you, he’s just like a Little White Rabbit, isn’t he adorable?"

Lin Yuan pursed her lips. Even Zhao Hongsheng, that big bad wolf, had his temper smoothed over by him, let alone the honest and straightforward Zhao Hongde. Fortunately, Zhao Hongde wasn’t his enemy; otherwise, wouldn’t he be bullied into crying every day?

Zhao Hongde realized he was hopeless against this Xia Zheng, sighed powerlessly, and asked weakly, "Is Second Brother also in Yecheng?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I have called you here?" Xia Zheng snorted. "You guys settle your own issues; don’t disturb our peaceful little life."

Zhao Hongde chuckled. A peaceful little life, huh? If the second son of the General Mansion could content himself with a quiet life, he’d probably cause all the daughters of the Capital city’s nobility to drop their jaws in shock!

"Hey, don’t change the subject!" Xia Zheng rubbed Lin Yuan’s soft hand and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Hongde: "You’ve come all this way, shouldn’t you offer something to your future sister-in-law? Just talking won’t show any sincerity, right?"

What does he mean by ’right’? Who asks for gifts to their face like this?

Lin Yuan’s cheeks reddened, and she quickly pinched him, whispering, "Not true! Don’t talk nonsense!"

Xia Zheng grimaced in pain but kept a straight face as he continued, "Don’t be shy, don’t be shy. After all, you do call him cousin. With such a good opportunity, how can you not ask for more goodies? Don’t worry, don’t worry, Cousin is very generous and besides, ow, even without me mentioning it, Cousin would give a gift himself, right, Cousin?"

Enduring Lin Yuan’s fatal Eighteen Pinches, Xia Zheng finally finished his speech, and did not forget to give Zhao Hongde a suggestive glance, a threat utterly lacking in intimidation, which amused Zhao Hongsheng greatly.

"Sister-in-law, show no mercy," Zhao Hongde said, holding back his laughter, to Lin Yuan. "Ah Zheng has bullied me for over a decade, and today I finally see him being bullied by someone else. Sister-in-law, you must stand up for your brother-in-law."

His words made Lin Yuan feel a bit embarrassed, and she couldn’t help but laugh, "I thought you were modest and polite just now, turns out you’re also quite slick."

"Haha." Zhao Hongde couldn’t hold back his laughter, and exclaimed "Brilliant!" several times. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed as he glanced at Xia Zheng and said slyly, "There is indeed a meeting gift, but certainly, the gift for the honorary sister won’t be as precious. I wonder..."

Honorary sister?

Lin Yuan was taken aback, but Xia Zheng’s eyes lit up. Great, the Third Prince’s honorary sister isn’t that like Consort Liu’s honorary daughter? Such status wasn’t just impressive among the daughters of the Capital, she could even match the princesses.

"Great! Of course, it should be the honorary sister!"

Before Lin Yuan could express her opinion, Xia Zheng was already slapping the table in agreement. Although Zhao Hongde’s suggestion clearly showed disapproval of Lin Yuan’s status as a sister-in-law, somewhat embarrassing Xia Zheng, he wasn’t at all reluctant when it came to helping Lin Yuan.

Zhao Hongde was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xia Zheng to agree first. Incredibly, the man who loved face so much was actually willing to be outdone.

After a deep look at Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng, Zhao Hongde sighed inwardly; surely, there’s a nemesis for everyone, and Lin Yuan was Xia Zheng’s nemesis.

"To gain such a wise sister is truly a rarity," Zhao Hongde said with a smile, looking at Lin Yuan with a bit more indulgence.

Xia Zheng grinned smugly, "Of course, having my woman as your sister is a blessing earned over three lifetimes, haha. Come on, Yuanyuan, call him ’Big Brother’ quickly."

Lin Yuan was stunned, still somewhat confused. How had she become Zhao Hongde’s honorary sister in such a bewildering fashion? The honorary sister of a Prince, wasn’t that akin to being a princess herself? Good heavens, such a huge windfall had actually fallen into her lap; could this be real?

"What’s wrong?" Seeing her continuously lost in thought, Xia Zheng swung his hand in front of her, teasing, "Are you too happy? What’s the big deal? As long as you’re happy, once you’re with me in the Capital, you can recognize anyone you want as a big brother! It’s just the matter of calling someone big brother, right? As long as they’re rich, not to mention calling out once, even, cough, calling out twice is fine!"
