Don't think that she doesn't know, he just wants Prince Xiang to know that she is "not dead" so as to expose her identity.
"Mrs. Xiao?"
Qiao Qing looked at her hesitantly, "Didn't you say before that you and your husband were separated because of water bandits, so you came to Yuanmu Town to find your husband? What is the relationship between Mr. Hu and you?"
"What? Husband?!"
Prince Xiang's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Lingyue, "Are you married again?!"
Xiao Lingyue's face turned dark: "..."
Qiao Qing was also startled and looked at Prince Xiang: "What do you mean she got married again? Doesn't she have a husband?"
Prince Xiang's face turned blue and white, as if he had been holding back something he wanted to say but couldn't.
Everyone was confused. Looking at Prince Xiang and Xiao Lingyue who were confronting each other, many thoughts passed through their minds.
"Ahem, Mr. Hu."
Shilang Shen coughed and asked Prince Xiang tactfully, "Who is this girl?"
Prince Xiang said with a complicated face: "She...should be considered my sister-in-law, right?"
The premise is that Xiao Lingyue faked his death and did not marry again in the past few years.
Her name is still on the royal family tree of Northern Qin, and until it is erased, she will always be Princess Yi.
It was natural for Prince Xiang to call her sister-in-law.
But these words frightened everyone else present.
Minister Shen blurted out: "Brother and sister?!"
Minister Shen almost jumped up. Where did this younger sibling appear from?!
As a descendant of the royal family, Prince Xiang can be called younger brother or sister by either the royal family or the nobles.
There are only a handful of royal daughters-in-law, and each of them has a high status. It is impossible for them to appear in this remote log town.
Shilang Shen had never seen Xiao Lingyue before, and he subconsciously thought: Could this be a sibling from Queen Mother Xiang's family? A certain daughter-in-law from the Hu family?
Chief Ji, Boss Zhao and Qiao Qing were completely shocked!
Master Ji was surprised at first, but then he was very happy. Fortunately, he didn't let the government officials capture Xiao Lingyue directly.
Are these Mr. Hu's younger siblings... not relatives of the noble concubine in the palace?
What if he gets caught again? Mr. Hu's troubles haven't been cleared up yet.
Chief Ji thought about it and couldn't help complaining: What's going on with these noble children?
First Mr. Hu came, and then Mr. Hu's younger brother and sister came. Both of them kept their names anonymous and refused to reveal their identities. Isn't this a disaster for small people like them?
You can offend someone by accident!
Boss Zhao was completely dumbfounded and looked at Xiao Lingyue blankly.
Qiao Qing was also shocked and stammered: "Brother...brother and sister? Is this true? Isn't your husband a merchant in the capital? How can he be related to the noble concubine in the palace? Mrs. Xiao, You...no, who are you?"
Xiao Lingyue: "I..."
She was rarely speechless and had a terrible headache.
It was such a casual nonsense before, but now it’s such a headache to explain.
Prince Xiang's eyes opened wider and wider, and his voice trembled: "Mrs. Xiao? Merchant? What is this?!"
Could it be that she faked her death and really remarried in the past few years? She also married an ordinary businessman named Xiao?
This...isn't this fatal...
Let’s not talk about the crime of the princess remarrying. If the third brother knew about it, the world would be shattered!
King Xiang broke into a cold sweat and said incoherently: "Master Xiao... Bah, sister-in-law, you can't really..." remarried, right?
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Xiao Lingyue took a deep breath and interrupted with a smile: "Master Hu, please shut up first!"
