Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were many people at home. In order to make it easier for them to travel, Deng Huan prepared two carriages for them. One was slightly larger with a soft couch, and the other was smaller with only stools.
She did not understand why he wanted to use this big carriage for her.
She was still wondering if he was worried that she would be too tired and wanted her to sleep on the way.
It was not until he pressed down that Su Xiaoxiao solved the case.
This guy was doing it for his own convenience!
Speaking of which, they had been married for more than half a year, but the number of times they had spent the night together could be counted on one hand. The last time was her birthday, and after that, the two of them went north one after another.
Blood flowed like rivers in a war. He could not still be in the mood to think about this.
After that, it was diagnosed that she was pregnant. To be cautious, he had been abstinent.
When the month was finally over, she moved into the Cheng family again.
“This is in the carriage…” It was rare for Su Xiaoxiao to find her breath. She pushed him weakly.
Wei Ting lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips and cheek. “The mattress has been changed, and the pillow is new. The corners of the carriage have been washed.”
She liked to be clean. He knew that.
During a war, she could have a dirty face and be covered in blood. However, she was usually very particular.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “You’ve done your homework?”
Su Xiaoxiao was still worried that someone would come over.
As if seeing her scruples, he said softly, “No one would come over in the middle of the night. I checked.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Had he even checked on this?
Wei Ting had indeed been here a few times, but not for this.
It was because he was worried about her when she first went to the Cheng family and would come here every night to guard her.
This place was quiet and hidden. If there was any movement in the Cheng family, he could rush over immediately. He naturally wouldn’t tell her this.
He found it mushy.
Su Xiaoxiao was dizzy. This body was already sensitive, so how could she withstand his deliberate flirting?
However, she still retained her last bit of rationality. “Why did you ask Second
Sister-in-law about this?”
At the thought of him running to Li Wan in all seriousness and saying, “Second Sister-in-law, what can a wife do with her husband after being pregnant for a few months?” She wished she could find a crack in the wall and stuff him in it.
Wei Ting said, “I asked Second Brother to ask.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
How much better was this than asking Second Sister-in-law?
The rest of the topic could not be continued.
The big-tailed wolf started eating.
Su Xiaoxiao, the soft little rabbit, was eaten clean.
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao woke up to the sound of gongs and drums.
Mei Ji sat at the side and ate a sweet potato.
Sensing that there was something wrong with the breathing behind her, Mei Ji raised her head. “Are you awake?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Her throat was a little dry, but fortunately, her voice was not hoa.r.s.e.
Wei Ting remembered the selection today and did not indulge too much, nor did he leave any suspicious traces on her. He sent her back in just two hours.
Su Xiaoxiao sat up. “What time is it?”
Mei Ji took a bite of the sweet potato. “It’s still early.”
“It’s already dawn!” Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly lifted the blanket. Just as she stood up, her legs were sore and she sat back down.
She gritted her teeth.
wei Ting!
Mei Ji said, “There’s no hurry. The selection hasn’t begun, and Cheng Qingxue hasn’t set off.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Didn’t you say it would start at seven?”
Mei Ji said, “Something happened in the Holy Maiden Temple last night. Half of the platform was destroyed. This morning, they built a temporary and delayed for a few hours. Those gongs and drums are the Holy Selection Ceremony of the Holy Maiden Temple.”
“Where’s Cheng Sang?” Su Xiaoxiao asked again.
Mei Ji nibbled on the sweet potato and said, “Fighting crickets with Yuchi Xiu in the courtyard.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Isn’t he a secret guard?” Mei Ji said, “Oh, Uncle Quan gave me a clear path.”
“Servant?”
“Actor.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Today, Su Xiaoxiao was going to the Holy Selection, but Xie Yunhe still came.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Cheng Sang and a young man squatting on the ground, engrossed in playing.
Xie Yunhe frowned.
Steward Cui whispered, “That person is a guard Uncle Quan found, but I
heard… ”
“What did you hear?” Xie Yunhe asked. Steward Cui braced himself and said, “He’s actually an actor.”
Xie Yunhe’s expression darkened.
His Madam was openly raising an actor in the residence, and he was so much younger and stronger than him. Xie Yunhe instantly felt a little green.
However, since Cheng Sang had already recovered from her madness, why was she still squatting on the ground and fighting crickets?
A trace of suspicion flashed across Xie Yunhe’s eyes.
“Miss, Old Master is here,” Uncle Quan reminded.
Cheng Sang threw away the stick in his hand in a second and stood up with a powerful aura, giving Xie Yunhe an extremely cold gaze.
“Xiaoxiu, let’s go in.”
Yuchi Xiu followed Cheng Sang in.
Xie Yunhe’s expression turned ugly.
Yuchi Xiu’s ident.i.ty was indeed that of a guard. The so-called actor ident.i.ty was spread by the people in the residence, but now that it was spread like this, Xie Yunhe felt a little embarra.s.sed.
“Madam, let’s talk.”
He came to the door and said to Cheng Sang.
Cheng Sang picked up her fan and waved it indifferently. “There’s nothing to talk about between us.”
With that, she closed the door.
Xie Yunhe was rejected again.
When Cheng Sang played with crickets, it made people feel that she had not recovered from her madness.
However, the way she looked at him just now was too unfathomable.
Mei Ji muttered, “He’s here to test again. Why hasn’t he given up?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Yunhe through the crack of the door.
“If he gives up so easily, he would not Xie Yunhe. He does control the power of the Cheng family, but as long as the family head’s token is not in his hands, he will not be legitimate enough. There’s only one way to take back the family head’s token—to prove that Cheng Sang has yet to recover from her illness.”
Su Xiaoxiao put on her hairpin. “Alright, let’s go. Uncle Quan is watching over the house. Xie Yunhe won’t be able to find a chance to get information out of her. ”
Su Xiaoxiao went next door to say goodbye to Cheng Sang.
Cheng Sang was already very relieved that she had gone out. She would even remind her to be careful on the way. The carriage could go slower and there was no need to rush.
Uncle Quan sent Su Xiaoxiao to the door.
Coincidentally, Cheng Lian also came to send Cheng Qingxue off.
It was unknown if it was to save some face, but Cheng Lian actually got a carriage from the Holy Maiden Temple.
Logically speaking, Cheng Qingxue was born by a concubine, so her carriage had to be ranked behind Su Xiaoxiao’s.
However, other than her ident.i.ty as the daughter of the Cheng family, Cheng Qingxue was also the sister of the Saintess.
The carriage of the Holy Maiden Temple naturally did not have to make way for anyone.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the mother and daughter who were deliberately placing an opening gambit and said to Uncle Quan, “Can that person also enter and leave the Cheng family freely?”
Uncle Quan said tactfully, “The women in the back residence are not allowed to enter and leave at will unless they obtain the family head’s permission.”
Cheng Qingxue couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned around and scolded, “My mother is the Madam of the residence! She can go wherever she wants! I don’t need you to interfere!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Madam? Did my grandmother agree?”
Uncle Quan said, “Young Miss, no.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Lian calmly. “So, she can only be considered an aunt at most?”
Cheng Lian’s hand that was arranging Cheng Qingxue’s clothes paused.
Mei Ji added, “That’s not right, Miss. You can only be a concubine if you serve tea to the first wife. Otherwise, you’ll just be a concubine maidservant!” Cheng Lian’s expression changed.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Did you hear that, Uncle Quan? In the future, Second Miss Cheng’s monthly allowance will be paid according to that of a maidservant.”
Uncle Quan said excitedly, “Yes, Miss!”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘Who’s in charge of the accounts?” Uncle Quan said, “It’s Second Cheng… Aunt Cheng… Cheng Lian!”
“Remember to hand it over later so we can take back the accountings.” Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Cheng Lian and smiled at the anger dancing in her eyeS.
“Since you’ve become my grandfather’s concubine maidservant, don’t even think about being the second daughter of the Cheng family. You should understand this on the first day you climbed into his bed, right?”
Cheng Lian’s nails dug into her palms..
