Chapter 138 You are playing with fire
When Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan hurried home, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Zhao Yue'er and Fang Zhiyuan and his wife sitting in the hall waiting quietly.
Zhao Yue'er was wearing a light pink long dress, with a graceful figure and beautiful face, as charming as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Fang Zhiyuan was dressed in a blue shirt, with an imposing manner, a sharp-edged face, and a faint smile on his lips, appearing gentle and elegant.
Seeing Wang Xinyao returning, Zhao Yue'er's beautiful eyes lit up and she quickly stood up and walked towards her.
She grabbed Wang Xinyao's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Xinyao, it's been a long time since we last met. You don't know, but I heard the epidemic was very serious. I was worried about you all day long. I miss you all the time!"
Seeing this, Fang Zhiyuan, who was standing by, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded to Wang Xinyao as a greeting.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao quickly responded, "Brother-in-law is fine!"
Then, she turned to Zhao Yue'er and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I miss you very much too."
Then she warmly invited everyone to sit down.
At this time, Wu Wenxiu, who had been waiting nearby, skillfully made tea for everyone.
For a moment, the fragrance of tea filled the air, and the whole house was filled with a fresh and elegant scent.
After Zhao Yue'er took her seat, her eyes inadvertently swept over Zhao Haoxuan who was standing next to Wang Xinyao, and suddenly a sense of déjà vu arose in her heart.
She couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Zhao Haoxuan carefully. The sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, but she couldn't be sure for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yue'er finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xinyao, who is this young man...?"
Hearing Zhao Yue'er's question, Wang Xinyao first smiled, then waved her hand, signaling the servants around her to leave for the time being.
When there were only four of them left in the room, the whole room suddenly became quiet.
Wang Xinyao took a deep breath, and then she said in a soft voice, "Sister, he is my husband, Zhao An."
Hearing this, Zhao Yue'er couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She stared at the strange man in front of her for a long time, as if trying to find some familiar traces on him.
So, she hesitated and asked, "Zhao An?"
There was a hint of uncertainty and hesitation when these two words came out of her mouth.
Seeing Wang Xinyao nodded in affirmation, the doubts on Zhao Yue'er's face not only did not dissipate, but became even more intense.
She bit her lip and hesitated before continuing, "Are you sure his name is Zhao An? Not really... not really..."
Having said this, Zhao Yue'er suddenly stopped, as if something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't continue.
Because she really didn't dare to easily say out the name that had been lingering in her mind.
If the Emperor's uncle knew that the Crown Prince had chosen to marry into the family, the consequences would be unimaginable! I'm afraid that Sister Xinyao would suffer a devastating disaster.
Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but cough lightly, but didn't say anything.
Wang Xinyao, standing beside him, nodded slightly, a faint smile on her face as she softly said, "That's right, just as you think. However, for now, he is just my husband, Zhao An."
Hearing this, Zhao Yue'er's eyes widened immediately, her face full of astonishment and disbelief.
"What?" Zhao Yue'er began to yell, "Xinyao, are you crazy? Don't you know what you are doing? You are clearly playing with fire and getting burned!"
At this moment, Zhao Yue'er was anxious and angry, but more importantly, she was deeply worried about Wang Xinyao.
Seeing Zhao Yue'er's excited reaction, Zhao Haoxuan's face darkened.
He scolded in a steady and forceful tone, "Yue'er, be careful how you speak to your sister Xinyao! You must understand that she is not just your adopted sister, but also my wife!"
Zhao Yue'er blinked as if waking from a dream, and a blush instantly appeared on her face. Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure just now.
However, when that all-too-familiar voice reached her ears, Zhao Yue'er seemed to be under a spell of immobilization in an instant, and she stood there completely motionless.
Fang Zhiyuan, who was standing by, felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this. He quickly reached out and tightly grasped his wife's hand, which was trembling slightly due to excessive nervousness, and then gently pulled her towards him.
Then, Fang Zhiyuan and Zhao Yue'er respectfully walked towards Zhao Haoxuan and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Get up!" Zhao Haoxuan opened his lips slightly and uttered a few simple words.
However, even these brief words were filled with an irresistible majesty.
After the two stood up as they were told, Wang Xinyao came to Zhao Yue'er, then gently stretched out her hands and gently held Zhao Yue'er's slightly cold hands.
She said with a determined look, "Sister, I understand the pros and cons of this. But the situation is pressing, and this is the only way to protect him."
Zhao Yue'er's complexion gradually returned to normal, but her eyes were still full of anxiety and uneasiness.
She shook off Wang Xinyao's tightly grasped hand, her voice trembling slightly with anxiety. "Do you really think you can hide this from the world like this? If this matter were ever to be exposed, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor! Then, not only would you be in danger, but your entire family would be implicated. It's not an exaggeration to say that nine generations of your clan would be implicated!"
After a brief pause, Zhao Yue'er pondered for a moment, as if mustering up immense courage, and said slowly, "Brother Crown Prince, Xinyao is my beloved sister. I simply cannot bear to see her endure such enormous risks and pressure in the future. So, please think twice before you act!"
Zhao Haoxuan, who was standing aside, silently looked at the emotional Zhao Yue'er, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
He was originally a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yue'er's behavior just now, but when he saw that she cared about Wang Xinyao so wholeheartedly, those dissatisfactions disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Haoxuan nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Yue'er. This matter was planned by Xinyao and I. Although I hold a special status, I will act with caution and will not implicate her. As long as we can survive this difficult time, I will find a good opportunity to report everything to my father in advance."
"Brother Crown Prince, you have been away from Beijing for more than a year and a half. The Emperor's uncle has always been thinking about you. Since you are in Xiejia Village, why don't you return to Beijing?" Zhao Yue'er asked solemnly.
So, Zhao Haoxuan told Zhao Yue'er and his wife all his experiences over the past year and a half.
Zhao Yue'er and his wife, who were sitting nearby and listening, became more and more serious as the story progressed.
When they heard some thrilling plots, the two of them couldn't help but clench their fists and grit their teeth, making a clattering sound.
