Chapter 1045 The Emperor Always Wants to Become His Wife 21

There was a hint of flattery in Zhao Mu's words.

Ying Xixi felt a little numb after hearing the last sentence.

"I can do whatever I want with that child?"

Zhao Mu nodded, "Yes, then you will be the legitimate mother, you can naturally deal with the child as you please.

Whether you keep the child under your name or give him away, or even the child's life, you can do whatever you want with him!"

Ying Xixi had a complicated expression.

If she didn't know that the child in Wang Ruyi's belly was indeed Zhao Mu's, after hearing what Zhao Mu said, she almost thought that this was a child that had nothing to do with Zhao Mu.

How on earth could he say such a thing?

Does Wang Ruyi know that the man she likes is so cruel?

Ying Xixi didn't respond to Zhao Mu's words. She looked at him with complicated eyes and walked away.

After a while, the banquet at the Zhao Mansion came to an end.

Ying Xixi asked someone to tell Lord Zhao, and then she took Ah Xiang and left in the carriage.

In another low-key carriage parked not far from the gate of the Zhao Mansion, Yin Huaixu looked at the Wang family carriage driving away and asked An Er, who was driving, in a low voice.

"Have you investigated Wang Xixi thoroughly?"

"Yes, Master, I have found out that Miss Wang was pushed into the pool by Miss Wang more than a month ago and has been in a coma for a month.

After waking up, the eldest daughter of the Wang family seemed to have changed a little compared to before.

In the past, Miss Wang had deep feelings for her fiancé, Mr. Zhao, but now Miss Wang doesn’t seem to have much feelings for him anymore.”

An Er talked about what he had investigated.

Yin Huaixu seemed to be thinking about something. "An Er, do you think there is such a thing as borrowing a corpse to revive the soul in this world?"

When An Er heard this, his eyebrows jumped and a guess emerged in his mind.

"Master, you, do you suspect that Miss Wang is Xiao Xi's spirit that has returned to life?!"

Yin Huaixu raised the corners of his lips, "You guessed it, do you think so too?"

An Er didn't know what to say for a moment.

He actually didn't quite understand why his master had such deep feelings for Xiao Xi.

It's so deep...it doesn't feel like the feelings for a savior, but more like remembering one's dead lover.

When An Er thought of this, he shuddered.

“Master, if this is true, Xiaoxi is already a completely new person.

Besides, Xiaoxi is going to get married, so what can we do?"

The corners of Yin Huaixu's lips straightened, and his faint smile disappeared.

"Get married? Who allowed her to get married?

I won't allow it!

An Er, leave Beijing and go to Kaiyuan Temple. "

An Er: “........Yes.”

What the master said sounds strange.

........

The Zhao family's banquet did have some effect.

It’s just that officials and people began to talk about the Wang family.

The main thing was that Ying Xixi was wearing plain clothes that day and had a plain hairpin on her head, which made her look so pitiful no matter how you looked at her.

In addition, when the maid in the Zhao mansion called her, she immediately followed her.

Everyone discussed privately, suspecting that either the Wang family forced the Wang family's eldest daughter to marry into the Zhao family, or the Zhao family forced her.

But no matter how much we talk about it, it won't change anything.

After Zhao Mu told his parents that Ying Xixi refused the emperor's help to cancel the engagement.

The Zhao family was both relieved and worried.

What is reassuring is that since Ying Xixi has refused the emperor's help, she probably won't think of canceling the engagement.

But they were also worried. What if Ying Xixi suddenly went crazy one day and wanted to ask the emperor for help to cancel the engagement?

The Zhao family had no choice but to say hello to the wealthy businessman Wang and ask him to have someone keep an eye on Ying Xixi.

Don't let her sneak into the palace one day.

At the same time, they also hoped that the two months would pass faster.

Ying Xixi didn't know what the Zhao family was planning. Ever since she left the Zhao family banquet and returned home that day, she stayed in her own yard every day, eating, drinking, and reading storybooks, feeling very comfortable.

The system also asked her why she did not agree to Yin Huaixu's request to help cancel the engagement that day.

“It’s easy to cancel it, but once I cancel it, as long as I’m not married, Mr. Wang will keep an eye on me and find me another husband.

And if the engagement is really cancelled, do you think the Zhao family will give up so easily?

Apart from these, I don't want to cancel the engagement. Firstly, it's too troublesome, and secondly, I want to avoid any further contact with Yin Huaixu as much as possible.

The Zhao family's goal is the treasure map, and I also want to wait until I get married to get the treasure."

After Ying Xixi said this, the system understood.

[So that's how it is. Host, what are you going to do next? ]

"We'll talk about what to do later. It's still early now, and there's plenty of time to think about what's next."

After Ying Xixi finished talking to the system, she continued reading the storybook.

January passed in the blink of an eye.

It happened to be the fifteenth day of the month, and Ying Xixi and the women in her family took a horse-drawn carriage to Kaiyuan Temple in the suburbs.

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the women of the Zhao family would go to Kaiyuan Temple to burn incense.

But not all the female members go together every time.

After all, the wealthy businessman Wang has dozens of concubines.

The ones who went to burn incense today, besides Ying Xixi, were Wang Ruyi and her biological mother.

Wang Ruyi seemed to have told her biological mother about her cooperation with Ying Xixi, and her biological mother, Aunt Lin, became much kinder to Ying Xixi.

The three of them took a carriage to Kaiyuan Temple and got off at the foot of the mountain.

Kaiyuan Temple was built on the top of a mountain and horse-drawn carriages could not go up there, so people who came to burn incense had to walk up the mountain.

This is also a way to show respect to the gods.

The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, panting, and arrived at Kaiyuan Temple.

Today is a very crowded day, and Kaiyuan Temple is bustling with people.

It just so happened that Ying Xixi and the other two didn't like crowds, so they went back to their temporary guest rooms to rest.

Wang Ruyi and her daughter lived in one room, and Ying Xixi lived in one room by herself.

Ying Xixi felt a little bored in the side room, so she went to the back of the temple.

Behind the temple there are mountains, water, rivers and a bamboo forest.

Looking at the bamboo forest, Ying Xixi couldn't help but think of the bamboo forest in the past. She didn't know what it was like now.

Is the bamboo house still in ruins? Has Yin Huaixu asked someone to repair it?

Ying Xixi was thinking about all this when suddenly a tiger roar was heard from deep in the bamboo forest.

Ying Xixi didn't want to fight with the tiger, so she took a step back, turned around and wanted to leave.

But then a cry for help came from deep in the bamboo forest.

Ying Xixi paused and hesitated.

Is someone encountering a tiger and shouting for help?

And this voice was vaguely familiar.

Ying Xixi claimed that she was not a kind-hearted person who was willing to help others when she saw injustice, but this time she still ran deep into the bamboo forest.

Soon, she ran in and saw a man fighting a tiger.

Coincidentally, the person was someone she knew.

An Er was fighting with the tiger in his nightgown, while Yin Huaixu was sitting behind a big rock with his hands covering his shoulders.

He lowered his head and his face was a little pale, probably because he was injured.
