Chapter 1290 Are You Willing?

Huimei was wearing a tight green shorts and looked very elegant and refined.

When Earl Yongning looked at Huimei's heroic appearance in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his second wife Yang Liying who was far away in Xuanfu. He sighed secretly in his heart and hurriedly brought his mind back to where it had almost gone.

"To Lord Yongning, Huimei was born in a poor family and has lived on simple food since she was young. These are delicacies that you don't normally get to eat."

Earl Yongning nodded as he listened to Huimei's words, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Huijian standing behind Huimei, eating dried fish. She kept licking her lips, so she must have eaten too much salt.

"Mingyuan, pour a bowl of herbal tea for the girl behind Huimei."

"Yes, handsome father."

Zhang Mingyuan took a tea bowl from the shelf next to him. Just as he picked up the teapot, he heard a voice like a broken gong coming from behind him: "I am not a girl. I am now a female soldier of King Chuang."

Seeing her naive appearance, Earl Yongning almost laughed out loud. He pursed his lips and looked at his wife Ji Xuanzhu, and said softly, "This girl is just as Madam said, she is so naive."

Ji Xuanzhu raised his hand to cover his mouth and pointed at Hui Jian with his other hand, as if to hint to Earl Yongning not to let that silly girl hear it.

Yongning Bo nodded gently, and stopped talking about this topic. He turned to Huimei and asked, "I heard from Madam that she has become your sworn sister?"

Huimei replied with a serious face: "Madam doesn't despise Huimei because she is a rough country girl, and she is not afraid that Huimei will tarnish the reputation of Madam Bo. Huimei is really grateful for Madam's kindness."

"Sister, stop calling me Madam."

Ji Xuanzhu tried to stop her, "Good sister, just call each other sisters like we used to chat. If you keep calling me Madam, I will ignore you."

She raised her hand and pointed at Earl Yongning, and then continued, "My Lord, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the high and mighty Earl Yongning. But now you are my sister, and he is your brother-in-law.

Besides, there are no outsiders here today, and even the people serving you are the uncle and your personal soldiers, so don't feel constrained, just call him brother-in-law."

"Sister, I..."

Before Huimei could say anything to refuse, Earl Yongning spoke up: "Huimei, just listen to your sister. It's settled. From now on, you will call me brother-in-law, regardless of whether you are at home or outside, in front of others or behind their backs, you will call me brother-in-law."

As he spoke, Earl Yongning took the jade-like hand of his wife, Ji Xuanzhu, and said to Huimei, "Your sister is the only daughter in the family. She has two older brothers but no sisters. She always feels lonely."

Before Huimei could say anything, Earl Yongning continued happily, "It's all right now. Now Xuanzhu has a sister like you, and she won't feel lonely anymore."

After hearing what Earl Yongning said, Huimei couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation on her face...

Earl Yongning saw all of this. Although he was not sure what Huimei was thinking, he thought it must be between Yuan Shizhong and King Chuang!

However, Earl Yongning did not want to get involved in the affairs between Huimei and those two men. He now had only one thought in mind - to keep Huimei!
Huimei is Li Zicheng's goddaughter, Yuan Shizhong's wife, and now his Yongning Earl's goddaughter--the relationship is becoming more and more complicated. "Huimei, your sister Xuanzhu and I have an idea. I'm afraid you have concerns, so I invited you here to discuss it with you and listen to your ideas."

After hearing what Earl Yongning said, Huimei was stunned and asked, "Earl Yongning, please tell me what you want to say. Huimei is all ears."

Yongning Bo smiled and said, "Xuanzhu and you hit it off right away. She always kept talking to me and was reluctant to part with you. But she knew that you were thinking about your foster father, King Chuang, and that you would definitely return to King Chuang sooner or later. She absolutely could not keep you by her side forever."

His words clearly expressed his intention of "not forcing Huimei to stay in his camp", and also gave Huimei strong hope - as long as she met the conditions given by Earl Yongning - giving birth to the fetus safely - he could return to King Chuang at any time.

After laying the groundwork, Earl Yongning then went on to talk about today's topic: "Xuanzhu and I have discussed the idea of ​​adopting the baby in your belly as our adopted son..."

"What if Sister Huimei gave birth to a girl?"

Although he was interrupted by Hui Jian, Earl Yongning did not take it seriously. He first smiled to ease the awkwardness, then looked at Lady Ji Xuanzhu and said, "If Sister Huimei gives birth to a daughter, Xuanzhu and I will adopt her as our adopted daughter."

After saying this, Earl Yongning stared at Huimei with his eyes and asked her, "Huimei, what do you think? Are you willing?"

If such a good thing happened to someone else, they would probably be prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtowing to express their gratitude!
However, Huimei did not do so, and her expression seemed very conflicted.

In fact, although Huimei hated the imperial court and the government very much, she also felt that the Earl of Yongning and his wife were not bad people. However, they were enemies of her adoptive father, King Chuang, and were in a tense battle with him.

What should she do?

How should we choose?
Huimei didn't consider her current reality at all. She was so simple-minded that she even forgot that she was living under someone else's roof!

"If Sister Huimei doesn't agree to your request, you won't kill her, right?" The outspoken Huijian pressed the hilt of the knife hanging on his waist, looking as if he wanted to protect Huimei with all his might.

"Hahaha……"

After a hearty laugh, Earl Yongning asked jokingly, "How is that possible?"

"Huimei and Madam are sworn sisters. Even if Huimei doesn't want the baby in her belly to recognize Madam and me as godparents, Xuanzhu and I are at most disappointed. How can we blame Huimei for this?"

Earl Yongning looked very friendly, and he continued to speak gently, "Huimei, you don't have to rush to make a decision, you can think carefully for some time and then give your answer.

In a word, your sister Xuanzhu only wants to be closer to you because she likes you. It is a good thing to make two good things happen. No matter what, she will never force you!"

Ji Xuanzhu suddenly stood up from her seat, walked slowly towards Huimei, took her jade-white hand, and said softly, "Sister, I don't have any bad intentions, please don't think about it. If you feel embarrassed, tell me, don't keep it in your heart!"

Huimei had also stood up at this moment. She felt very sorry for what the Earl of Yongning and his wife Ji Xuanzhu had said. She could only stammer shyly, "Sister... I... I do!"
