Let a bolt of lightning strike her. She really couldn’t take it anymore!
“Little Seven! What are you doing?”
Wei Liulang’s appearance broke the stalemate between the two of them in time.
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply.
He could tell that her barrier was beginning to loosen.
It was good that it could be loosened.
His shamelessness was not in vain.
Su Xiaoxiao tidied her clothes and touched her hot face. She smiled at Wei
Liulang and said, “Sixth Brother.”
Wei Liulang muttered, “It’s Xiaoxiao.”
Wei Ting frowned. “Sixth Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that I can meet another woman late at night?”
“Who knows? It’s hard to say with your personality!”
Wei Liulang scammed his brother mercilessly to take revenge for being tricked last time.
With this interruption, the atmosphere pa.s.sed. If he picked it up again, the mood would be broken.
However, at least Wei Ting saw hope and was not so anxious.
He handed the horse to Wei Liulang and got into the carriage with Su Xiaoxiao.
When they arrived at the Cheng family, Su Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Wei Ting did not wake her up. He carried her down and used his qinggong to send her back to Cheng Sang’s courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao slept extremely well.
When she woke up, she was told that Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe had also returned from the mine.
This was probably the most embarra.s.sing time they had spent going to the mine. They seemed to have returned to when they first took over the Cheng family in their early years.
Not only was he not liked by the three big shots, but he was also treated as someone with ulterior motives.
The two of them were innocent.
What did that girl’s business have to do with them?
They didn’t instigate it?!
Not to mention that they had been snubbed, when they thought about how someone had actually done something they had not achieved for 30 years— extorting three big shots, the two of them felt uncomfortable.
Cheng Lian was especially upset.
She was jealous and angry, and she could not maintain her gentle and kind persona.
When they alighted from the carriage, a fierce face almost frightened the maidservants who welcomed them.
Su Xiaoxiao was eating breakfast in her room. The courtyard was filled with the laughter of Cheng Sang and the three children.
Mei Ji walked in while chewing on the osmanthus cake.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the familiar osmanthus cake and asked slowly, “Where did you get the osmanthus cake?”
Mei Ji said, “General Wei Xu came last night.”
He came to see the little packrats and left a big bowl of osmanthus cakes.
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Dad’s range of activities was getting bigger and bigger. Will he meet the Saintess one day? “Do you want to eat it?” Mei Ji handed her a piece.
Su Xiaoxiao took it and tasted it.
Well, it tasted quite good.
Mei Ji said, “By the way, Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian are back. It seems that they suffered a big blow in the mine.”
“Serves them right.”
Su Xiaoxiao would not be soft-hearted when dealing with such people. Mei Ji asked, “Do you have any new plans?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is it written on my face that I’m scheming against someone?”
Mei Ji approached her and pointed at the corner of her mouth. “Every time you smile like this, someone is going to be unlucky.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t even realize that she was smiling.
Mei Ji’s observation skills were not bad. She did have a plan.
If not for Cheng Lian plotting against Cheng Sang, Cheng Sang would not have been involved in the matter of the King of the Southern Wilderness.
Not to mention that Cheng Lian had caused Cheng Sang to lose her child.
If she didn’t teach Cheng Lian a lesson, the latter would think that she had disguised herself well.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Mei Ji, “Ask Uncle Quan to inform Xie Yunhe and Cheng
Lian to go to the reception hall. I have something to announce. Also, go to the Saintess Temple and look for the new Saintess. If Cheng Qingyao wants to come, it’s up to her.”
Mei Ji liked to cause trouble and went happily.
An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao, Mei Ji, Xie Yunhe, and Cheng Lian gathered in the reception hall.
Cheng Qingyao didn’t come over. She had entered the palace today and wasn’t in the Holy Maiden Temple. Mei Ji didn’t meet her when she went to look for Yin Xiaodie.
It didn’t matter if she came or not. It didn’t affect Su Xiaoxiao’s plan.
“Why did you call us over?” Cheng Lian asked angrily.
Ever since Su Xiaoxiao was recognized as the young master by Third Uncle and the elders, she had become the second most respected person in the family. The first was Cheng Sang.
She sat at the master seat that originally belonged to Cheng Lian.
It would be strange if Cheng Lian was happy.
Xie Yunhe sat beside Su Xiaoxiao.
Although he was a lived-in son-in-law, he was Su Xiaoxiao’s elder after all. This could not be changed.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I might as well be frank. When I went to the mine this time, I heard many rumors about back then and finally understood the inside story of my mother’s birth.”
Cheng Lian’s fingers tightened.
Xie Yunhe’s eyes moved slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Lian. “Aunt Cheng, I called you Aunt on account that you’re my grandmother’s concubine sister. Let me ask you, was my mother really stillborn back then?”
Cheng Lian’s eyes flashed. “If she wasn’t a stillborn, can she be alive? Don’t jump to conclusions from insignificant evidence outside!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Alright, I won’t listen to those rumors. I called Grandfather and Aunt Cheng over today because I want to invite Gu to acknowledge my family in public.”
Xie Yunhe frowned.
Cheng Lian quickly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
“Grandpa, are you unwilling? Don’t you want to know if that abandoned baby girl is your biological child?”
She said nothing, but she said everything. Like a sharp knife, she cut open those unbearable pasts.
Xie Yunhe frowned and said, “When did I suspect your mother…”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to listen to such polite words. “It doesn’t matter if you suspected or not. I just want Grandfather to witness it again!”
At this point, what could the two of them not tell?
She had completely grasped what had happened back then.
Cheng Lian was surprised.
She had clearly dealt with it very cleanly. Who leaked the news? Was it one of the three big shots?
How did they know?
Cheng Lian couldn’t understand.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t intend to let her understand.
She only wanted the results.
How many doubts did this vicious woman have? What did it have to do with her?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mei Ji.”
Mei Ji smiled and said, ‘You’re here, Miss! This is the blood worm I asked from the Holy Maiden Temple. It’s specially used to invite the worm to recognize your family. It’s given by the new Saintess.”
They all knew Gu. They could tell at a glance if it was true blood Gu or fake blood Gu.
Cheng Lian instantly panicked.
“Mei Ji, go get a drop of my grandfather’s blood.”
“Alright, Miss!”
Mei Ji came to Xie Yunhe.
Xie Yunhe glanced at Cheng Lian with a trace of confusion.
Mei Ji didn’t care what he was thinking. She grabbed his hand and cut it.
This cut was deep, and Xie Yunhe spilled blood.
Mei Ji hurriedly said, “Yo, yo, yo, don’t waste it. Let’s fill all ten bottles!”
Xie Yunhe was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao invited the Gu to acknowledge her family in public.
In the end, she was unscathed.
Xie Yunhe was shocked.
He suddenly looked at Cheng Lian!
Cheng Lian’s heart skipped a beat. She pointed at Su Xiaoxiao’s nose and said, “Your Gu is fake!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Fake? Do you dare to try?”
Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian were not blood -related. If she poisoned Cheng Lian with Xie Yunhe’s blood Gu, Cheng Lian would definitely die.
Cheng Lian shrank back.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped.
Some fires could start themselves without arching.
There were ten thousand ways to deal with Cheng Lian, but this was definitely the one that made Cheng Lian suffer the most.
Su Xiaoxiao left with Mei Ji, leaving behind nine bottles containing Xie Yunhe’s blood Gu.
Xie Yunhe walked towards Cheng Lian coldly.
Cheng Lian retreated step by step and hurriedly shook her head. “No… She must have played some tricks… Helang, listen to me explain… Back then, I didn’t tamper with the Gu… She died on her own… If she was your flesh and blood… How could she have died… Helang, believe me—I‘ Xie Yunhe gave her a loud slap!
