At the Yin family.
After Yin Xiaodie returned from the Holy Maiden Temple, she immediately went to the Old Master’s study.
“Grandfather! ”
She bowed properly.
In a big family, it was only right for children to know etiquette, but it was rare for them to be as serious as her, who was like a little adult.
Old Master Yin put down the half-read account book and kindly called her over. “Are you done so quickly?”
If Yin Xiaodie wanted to take the Yin family’s recommendation letter, she needed him to seal it before it took effect. He naturally knew about this.
“Xiaodie is here to return this to Grandfather.” Yin Xiaodie took out the recommendation letter and placed it on the desk in front of Old Master Yin. Old Master Yin couldn’t help but be surprised. “That person didn’t go?”
“She did.” “She’s not running anymore?”
“She is.”
“Then why…’
Yin Xiaodie said, “She has the Cheng family’s family head’s token and doesn’t need our Yin family’s recommendation letter.”
“Oh?” Old Master Yin stroked his white beard. “She’s only been in the Cheng family for a few days, but she actually brought over the family head’s token that Xie Yunhe hasn’t succeeded in obtaining for the past 30 years? Are you sure you’re not wrong?
Yin Xiaodie said neither servile nor overbearing, “I can be mistaken, but the
Holy Maiden Temple can’t be wrong. Grandfather can send someone to the
Saint Lady Temple to investigate.”
Old Master Yin smiled lovingly. “There’s no need. I believe you. Since this person can obtain the family head’s token, she must have extraordinary methods. Xiaodie, don’t let your guard down.”
Yin Xiaodie said confidently, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best! I have a feeling that this Holy Selection will be very interesting!” After Yin Xiaodie left, a middle-aged man walked over from next door.
“Dad.”
Old Master Yin restrained his benevolence and doting attitude towards Yin Xiaodie and looked at his son sternly.
“How’s the investigation going?”
Yin Chongshan said, “I’ve already investigated clearly. The little girl who went to the Cheng family to acknowledge her family is called He Yuying. Her household registration is in Cloud Water Town. Her biological mother was indeed raised from outside. About two years ago, Cloud Water Town suffered from the epidemic. Her family was all dead, and she was the only one left.”
Old Master Yin was not surprised. “Since she can come to the Cheng family to acknowledge her family, her identity will naturally be flawless.”
“Then why did you ask me to investigate… “Yin Chongshan looked at the Old Master bitterly.
“Dad, I heard what Xiaodie said outside just now. Could that girl really be Cheng Sang’s granddaughter? Back then, that baby girl was said to be a stillbirth. Who knows if someone played tricks and buried the living fetus?”
Old Master Cheng said, “That’s not important. Whether Cheng Sang’s granddaughter inherits the Cheng family or Cheng Lian’s daughter inherits the Cheng family is the same to our Yin family. What I’m really curious about is if Cheng Sang has been pretending to be crazy all these years.”
At the Cheng family.
After Cheng Sang said “long time no see” in a deep voice, Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian were stunned. The latter could even be said to be dumbfounded.
They had clearly just met yesterday. Why had it been a long time?
This was unless…
This was not the crazy First Madam Cheng who could be imprisoned, but the Miss Cheng who could make the entire Cheng family tremble with a stomp of her feet!
The sober Miss Cheng had been gone for more than 30 years. It was indeed a long time.
Cheng Lian swayed.
Xie Yunhe tried his best to maintain his calm, but his eyes still revealed his shock.
“Madam…
“Don’t call me Madam.” “Sister! ”
“Don’t call me sister either.” Cheng Sang was not polite.
Cheng Lian choked.
She sized up Cheng Sang carefully.
Cheng Sang’s gaze was sharp, like a sword that had finally been unsheathed, making one shudder.
She walked down the steps indifferently.
“Looks like I’ve been sick for too long. The servants in the courtyard are getting more and more unruly. When they saw the family head, they didn’t even bow. In the early years, when Ah Qi and Uncle Quan were around, there weren’t so many servants who didn’t know the rules.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a sense of oppression assaulted them, bending the spines of the maidservants in the courtyard.
Everyone knelt down.
The maidservant and nanny beside Cheng Lian wanted to resist, but when they met those murderous eyes, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground heavily.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and came to Cheng Sang’s side.
Cheng Sang patted the back of her hand comfortingly, as if telling her not to be afraid. She would uphold justice for her.
Cheng Sang let go of Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and walked up to Cheng Lian. Cheng Lian’s heart skipped a beat.. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Sister, have you recovered?”
