Cheng Sang did not meet him.
Last night, the servants in the courtyard were punished to kneel for half the night and completely experienced the power of Cheng Sang as the family head. Now, no one dared to barge into Cheng Sang’s door without permission. That’s right. A few days ago, regardless of whether Cheng Sang was willing or not, if Xie Yunhe wanted to see her, they would have opened the door and brought Cheng Sang out.
At noon, Xie Yunhe came again.
Cheng Sang still did not see him.
There was no choice. Cheng Sang was too busy.
Yuchi Xiu had nothing to do, so he actually taught her how to play cards.
He had only taught blindly. He did not expect Cheng Sang to learn it immediately and even win a lot of money from him and Mei Ji.
Cheng Sang could not beat Su Xiaoxiao, but she did not mind not winning.
The four of them played cards in the courtyard, and the working bird, Wuhu, went out to earn bird food.
This time, the Wuhu did not go to the Holy Maiden Temple to investigate. Instead, it went to the residence of Wei Ting and the others and brought them a note, asking them to contact Deng Huan and find someone called Quan Youcai.
When Su Xiaoxiao asked Cheng Sang who else treated her the best, Cheng Sang said Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quants original name was Quan Youcai. He was once the steward of the Cheng family. At the age of ten, he had run errands with the young Old Master Cheng and was as loyal to Cheng Sang.
Fifteen years ago, he was framed for taking bribes and using inferior wood to build an attic. In the end, it resulted in a serious attic collapse.
Because of this, he was chased out of the Cheng family.
Xie Yunhe did not tell Cheng Sang that Quan Youcai had made a mistake. He only said that Quan Youcai wanted to return to his hometown to be filial to his mother.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to call him over.
Deng Huan was Su Xuan’s spy in the capital of the Southern Wilderness. After many years of operation, he had long had his own network.
In addition, all the talents did not hide their ident.i.ties, so it was not difficult to find them.
Two days later, Uncle Quan was brought to Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Sang.
All of them looked at the Eldest Miss, whom they had not seen for many years. Her face had aged in the past, and there were silver strands at her temples. His heart ached, and his eyes were wet as he knelt down and kowtowed. “Miss!”
Cheng Sang tilted his head and looked at him. “Uncle Quan, you’re old. Your hair has turned white.”
Missy still remembered him… He choked and smiled. “Yes… I’m old.” Su Xiaoxiao called everyone to the study and told him about Cheng Sang.
“I haven’t left the capital all these years, waiting for Eldest Miss to recover her senses… I’ve actually heard that Young Miss came to the Cheng family to acknowledge her relatives, but…”
At this point, he smiled awkwardly.
“I thought it was arranged by Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian again.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “What do you mean again?
Quan Youcai sighed. “Young Miss, you might not know this, but before you returned to the Cheng family, the Cheng family had gotten people to come to ‘acknowledge’ her several times. Most of them were babies, pretending to be Eldest Miss’s children who had died young. On the surface, it was to treat Eldest Miss’s crazy illness and make her think that her daughter had returned. From then on, she would no longer be sad… But in fact, they were thinking of the family head token.”
Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “I see.”
“I didn’t expect it to be true this time!” Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao excitedly.
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it was fake this time too.
She looked at Quan Youcai. “I’ve blocked Xie Yunhe for three days. Tomorrow, I’m going to the Holy Maiden Temple to partic.i.p.ate in the Holy Selection. I can’t be by Grandmother’s side at all times. Please take care of Grandmother and don’t let the people in the residence see through her.”
Only then did he say seriously, “Little Miss, don’t worry. I know what to do!”
After coming out of the study, Su Xiaoxiao went to Cheng Sang’s room first.
Cheng Sang was tired from playing and slept soundly.
Mei Ji guarded him in front of the bed.
Yuchi Xiu sat on the beam with one leg bent. Even if he lost money, he had to continue to maintain his cool, handsome, and arrogant appearance.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and touched Cheng Sang’s forehead before taking her pulse.
“You can brew her medicine tomorrow morning.”
These words were directed at Mei Ji.
“Oh.”
Mei Ji indicated that she would remember.
“Chi
A soft scoff came from the beam. “Girl, don’t you think you’re being too nosy?”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently. “Do you have a problem with that?” Yuchi Xiu hugged his sword and leaned against the pillar behind him.
“Our goal in coming to the southern border is only to find the Snake Bone Flower and Wei Xu. The Cheng family’s matter has nothing to do with us. Be careful not to attract trouble.”
Mei Ji glared at him and smiled mockingly. “Heh, you’re just unhappy about losing money!”
Yuchi Xiu was speechless.
“I agree with Yuchi Xiu.”
A familiar voice suddenly appeared outside the door.
“a.s.sa.s.sin
Mei Ti hurriedly went over to open the door.
Fortunately, they had just eaten lunch at this hour. The servants in the courtyard had all returned to their rooms.
She pulled the a.s.sa.s.sin in and closed the door. ‘Why are you here? Also, why are you hand in glove with him?”
The a.s.sa.s.sin said, “I just think that you guys are a little too good to her.” It was already beyond the scope of use.
“Mei Ji, do you still remember what Master told us when we were doing the mission
“Don’t get emotional.”
Mei Ji moved behind Su Xiaoxiao weakly, as if she was just a maidservant.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Sang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and gently brushed away the hair on her cheek.
“I have my own ideas,” she said.
The killer felt a firm aura from Su Xiaoxiao.
He had a feeling that she would definitely protect this person called Cheng Sang.
Mei Ji also liked Cheng Sang.
Mei Ji changed the topic. “You haven’t told me why you’re here.”
The a.s.sa.s.sin said, ‘Wei Ting and Ghostfear went to the Holy Maiden Temple.”
These few days, the brothers had been looking for an opportunity to enter the Saint Lady Temple.
It was too difficult to barge in, and it was easy to alert the enemy.
Hence, they targeted Uncle Han.
After following him for a few days, she realized that Uncle Han was sending a batch of clothes to the Holy Maiden Temple this evening.
Wei Ting and Wei Liulang tied Uncle Han and the coachman to their residence without a word.
After blindfolding him, he put hemp sacks over their heads and locked them in the woodshed.
Wei Ting had interacted with Uncle Han before, so it was easier to imitate him. He disguised himself as Uncle Han.
Ghostfear fought with Wei Liulang and finally obtained the qualifications to disguise as a coachman with bloodline suppression.
The two of them were Gu Masters and did not know martial arts. In order not to let the disciples of the Holy Maiden Temple notice, the brothers consumed the poisonous pill sent by Deng Huan.
“This is a poisonous pill unique to the southern border. It can suppress one’s cultivation and reduce one’s five senses. You’re two ordinary people now.
Remember to be careful.”
“Will it affect the body?” Wei Qing asked.
Deng Huan said, “They will recover after the effect pa.s.ses. By the way, I forgot to mention that the effect is 12 hours.”
Wei Ting smiled. “Second Brother, don’t worry. I’ll protect Big Brother.” Ghostfear gave him a look that said he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Wei Ting returned to his room to change his appearance.
The three little ones walked in.
“Are you going out?” Dahu asked.
Wei Ting said, “Yes.”
Erhu said, “Are you secretly looking for Mother without us?”
Recently, the few brats had been showing off endlessly. It was rare for Wei Ting to let them suffer.
The childish Wei Ting said arrogantly, “That’s right. I’m going out with your mother! Only the two of us!”
The three little ones went out with dark expressions.
Stinky Daddy!
In the courtyard, Wei Xiyue was pulling at the boxes on the carriage.
Li Wan carried her down. “Xiyue, don’t touch it. Your Seventh Uncle will take it away later.”
Did Stinky Daddy want to take it away?
The three little ones blinked and climbed in tacitly. Hmph, they were going to look for their mother too!
