When Old Master Cheng was alive, Cheng Rong’an worked hard for the direct line of descent. After Old Master Cheng and Matriarch Cheng pa.s.sed away one after another, he joined Cheng Lian’s camp.
He had reminded Cheng Rui many times not to be a stubborn donkey. Nothing good would come of it. Wouldn’t the wealth he obtained be good?
Cheng Rui had the same temper as their biological father and refused to listen.
Cheng Rong’an said, “Speaking of which, don’t you think Young Master is a little… too powerful? For a girl who grew up in a small town to force the Saintess to this extent… She’s not simple.”
Cheng Rui looked at him unhappily. “You suspect that the result of inviting the Gu is wrong.”
Cheng Rong’an hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. How can it be fake after going through three Gu? I just feel that this young lady is not simple.”
Cheng Rui looked at the seemingly calm but actually turbulent night. “It’s good that she’s not simple. That’s why she can protect the Cheng family.”
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard.
Mei Ji pulled her hand into the house.
“How is it? Did you undo the Gu?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Mei Ji was shocked. “You didn’t undo it? Then you…”
Mei Ji hurriedly touched her face and opened her eyelids to check her glabella. She even placed her ear on the soft front of her shirt.
“There’s nothing wrong… That b.i.t.c.h didn’t poison you?”
Ever since she heard that the Saintess was going to use Gu to deal with Su Xiaoxiao, Mei Ji had upgraded the Saintess’s new t.i.tle.
“Yes, but I’m not poisoned.”
“Why? Didn’t they say that non-blood relatives would be poisoned? Did you tamper with it?”
“I didn’t do anything… I need to confirm something. Go eat something first.”
“I’m not hungry… Alright, I’m a little hungry… But what exactly is going on?
Tell me!”
The door closed.
Mei Ji sat on the threshold, holding her cheeks with both hands and scratching her heart.
Cheng Sang was still sleeping with Su Xiaoxiao tonight.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and took a strand of Cheng Sang’s hair.
This time, she entered the pharmacy as she wished.
She used their hair for identification.
Even though she was already mentally prepared after being poisoned three times.
However, she was still stunned when she really saw the results of the test.
Knock knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
Mei Ji slammed the door. “Miss! Miss! Are you done?”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw Mei Ji’s anxious expression. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?” Mei Ji choked. “The a.s.sa.s.sin just came. Something happened to Sir!” “What happened?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Tears welled up in Mei Ji’s eyes. “The cold poison… Sir’s cold poison is acting up…”
He was fine previously. He could clearly last a few more days. Why did the poison suddenly flare up?
Su Xiaoxiao had just washed off her disguise in the room.
She took a veil and put it on. She said to Quan Youcai, who was tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the flowers in the courtyard, “Uncle Quan! Prepare the carriage!”
Uncle Quan was stunned. “It’s so late. Is Miss going out?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “There’s an urgent matter to attend to. Take good care of my grandmother. I’ll come back after I’m done.”
Uncle Quan looked at Mei Ji with red eyes and then at the solemn Little Miss. He didn’t dare to delay.
“Yes!”
Yuchi Xiu stayed behind to protect Cheng Sang while Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji rushed to Changliu Lane in a carriage.
Mei Ji was carefree and fearless. However, after hearing that something had happened to Wei Qing, Su Xiaoxiao saw panic and fear on her face for the first time.
Wei Qing was no longer as simple as a benefactor and master to her. He was her faith and someone she would protect with her entire life.
Halfway through the journey, the carriage slowed down.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain. “What happened?”
The coachman said, “There’s a lantern meeting ahead. The streets are filled with people. The carriage can’t go through, Young Miss!” Su Xiaoxiao looked back.
The carriage behind also stopped all the way, in a stalemate.
“It’s not far. Let’s walk over.”
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she got off the carriage with Mei Ji.
The two of them left in a hurry.
Su Xiaoxiao’s veil was blown up by the night wind, revealing her perfect face. In another carriage that was blocked halfway, a young man in luxurious clothes pushed open the window in a sultry manner.
Su Xiaoxiao happened to walk past his carriage.
He only took a look and his breathing stopped.
Even after she had walked away, he was still looking out.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, do you wish to buy something? I’ll go buy it.” The attendant asked.
The Third Prince suddenly came back to his senses, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.
He chased after Su Xiaoxiao.
Unfortunately, the two of them had already used their qinggong and disappeared into the endless night.
He replied, “I heard that Princess Hui An, whom Father proposed for me, is the number one beauty of the Great Zhou. No one in the southern borders can compare to her. I don’t think so. Check on that girl just now.” “Which girl?” the eunuch asked.
“Just…” The Third Prince looked at the busy streets. Where was she?
Su Xiaoxiao was focused on traveling and didn’t notice this small interlude.
She and Mei Ji arrived at the courtyard in Changliu Lane fifteen minutes later.
The four little ones had already fallen asleep.
When Ghostfear was not around, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang took turns injecting internal strength into Wei Qing to help him resist the cold poison.
Li Wan was brewing medicine.
It was the prescription Su Xiaoxiao had left behind.
However, since the cold poison was acting up, this prescription was no longer effective.
The a.s.sa.s.sin was guarding the door. When he saw the two of them coming over, he hurriedly pushed open the door for them.
Su Xiaoxiao walked into the house.
Mei Ji also wanted to go in and held back.
Sir needed treatment. She could not cause trouble for him.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and said to Wei Ting, who was circulating his energy, “Stop for now.”
Wei Ting retracted his internal energy and his face was pale. It was obvious that he had exhausted a lot.
Su Xiaoxiao took Wei Qing’s pulse.
Wei Qing’s situation was not optimistic. He had to take the antidote as soon as possible.
Previously, she placed the Snake Bone Flower in the cultivation room.
She had been too busy to look.
She wondered if the Snake Bone Flower had bloomed..
