Chapter 889: 123 recommended

Chen Shimei pursed his lips and glanced away from her gaze, still smug in his heart: why feel sorry for him? He was about to turn his luck around and become a person of high status!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, even if you talk nonsense, no one will believe you. Do you know why?"

Chen Shimei smiled triumphantly, "Because the Aunt Chen you mentioned have long since denied their own identities. For the sake of their only son, they would only admit that I truly am an orphan!"

So certain that Aunt Chen would keep the secret? Lin Yuan thought briefly and then it dawned on her—it must be Wang Qiaoxin.

"Zhu Zi, you shouldn’t forget that not only do I know about your relationship with Aunt Chen, but everyone in Lin family hollow knows as well. Do you think you can silence them all?"

"Hmph, do you think someone will go to Lin family hollow to investigate my background?"

Chen Shimei looked at Lin Yuan as if she were a fool, about to speak again when the door to the elegant room opened and Wang Hong’s excited face appeared in the crack: "Come in quickly, His Highness wants to see you now!"

Perhaps too excited, Wang Hong didn’t even notice Lin Yuan standing to the side, hurriedly dropped a sentence, and quickly returned to Zhao Hongde’s side.

"Lin Yuan, you’re a smart person. You ought to know what should and shouldn’t be said. Don’t do anything you might regret!" Squinting his eyes, he warned Lin Yuan one last time, then Chen Shimei straightened his clothes and pushed the door open to enter.

Lin Yuan shook her head coldly with a laugh. Was Chen Shimei too confident? He hadn’t even met the Third Prince yet, and he was already sure that he would be put to important use? After just a few months of not seeing him, he really had become more arrogant!

"Commoner Chen Shimei, greets His Highness the Third Prince."

Chen Shimei made a bow with both hands, bending his knees to kneel, and respectfully paid his respects to the imposing man seated above him.

Although his tone was calm, his heart was already churning. That Xia Zheng was also there, sitting down! And he was sitting opposite the Third Prince! And he was sitting in such an unseemly manner!

That was too bold! Wasn’t he afraid the Third Prince would become displeased and charge him with a crime of disrespect?

Hmph, the Third Prince’s magnanimity shouldn’t allow for such reckless behavior! When he gained power in the future, he would see how he disciplined these ignorant creatures on behalf of the Third Prince!

"Hmm," Zhao Hongde nodded slightly, looked at Lin Yuan who had entered with Chen Shimei, and thought: this girl said she was borrowing him for this man?

Hearing Zhao Hongde acknowledge, Chen Shimei collected his thoughts and was about to stand up when Wang Hong, sitting to one side, laughed and said: "Shimei, this is the Second Young Master from the General Mansion, hurry and pay respects to Second Young Master Xia."

The General Mansion?

There were many people surnamed Xia in the Dayong dynasty, but there was only one General surnamed Xia—it was the ever-victorious General Xia Heng. Xia Heng had two sons, the eldest, Xia Zhen, remained in the Xia Family Army as the commander. As for the second son, he had been given the title of Free and Unrestrained Prince from a young age, and few people knew his real name. Could it be that this Xia Zheng was that Free and Unrestrained Prince?

Chen Shimei’s neck stiffened, and his tongue started to tremble. Just now, just now he was bragging to Lin Yuan about disciplining them! My god! Dad, why didn’t you tell me Xia Zheng’s identity earlier?

That really wasn’t Wang Hong’s fault. Xia Zheng always disliked others prying into his whereabouts, and he had explicitly forbidden Tang Qing and Wang Hong from revealing his identity. Besides, if Chen Shimei had known his identity too soon, what fun would that be?

"Co..., commoner, has seen Young Master Xia."

Chen Shimei didn’t even know how he managed to get those words out.

After paying his respects to both the Third Prince and Xia Zheng, Chen Shimei took a quiet breath of relief and was just about to stand up when he saw Zhao Hongde pointing to Lin Yuan, who had sat down after pouring tea for them, and said: "This is my sworn sister, Lin Yuan."

Sworn sister?!

Seeing Lin Yuan tilting her head and winking at him, Chen Shimei’s eyes almost fell out! His body, halfway risen, froze in place!

It was also unexpected to Wang Hong that Lin Yuan, aside from being Xia Zheng’s beloved, was also the sworn sister of the Third Prince. Although she held no title, with a prince and the Young Master of the Xia Family shielding her, who would dare to touch her?

"Oh wow, so Miss Lin is the Third Prince’s sworn sister! I truly have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, Miss Lin, please don’t take offense," said Wang Hong as he cupped his hands towards Lin Yuan, his aged face almost blooming with a smile.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Sir Wang is too kind. I’m just a little village girl after all; it’s only by good fortune that His Highness did not disdain to make me his sworn sister."
