A man in his early twenties looked at Wei Ting in puzzlement. ‘What’s the matter?”

Wei Ting sized him up.

The height was wrong, and the figure was wrong. There were no calluses from practicing the sword on his right hand.

He was not the person from last night.

“My parrot flew into your courtyard. I wonder if you can let me in to look for it?” Wei Ting said politely.

“A parrot?”

The man looked back at the courtyard and did not seem to find any traces of a bird. However, he saw that Wei Ting was dignified and did not look like a bad person, so he let Wei Ting in.

“Go ahead.”

Wei Ting walked in.

Wuhu flew over cooperatively and flashed past Wei Ting before entering the central room.

The man was surprised. “Is that blue bird your parrot just now?” Wei Ting said, “Yes, it’s used to being naughty and always runs around.” The man suggested, “You have to lock it with a bird cage.”

Wei Ting said, “That’s right. When we go back this time, I shall have to find a

bird cage to lock it in.”

The man looked at Wei Ting in shock. “You’ve never locked it?”

Wei Ting stepped into the central room. “It’s usually quite obedient. For some reason, it might have smelled something delicious today. Are you the only one living at home?”

The man did not notice that Wei Ting was trying to get information from him.

“We are a family of four. My parents and my sister went out to buy something.”

Wei Ting came to the backyard. From the clothes hanging on the clothesline, it matched what the man had said.

Soon, Wuhu flew down and took out a white handkerchief from the corner.

The man exclaimed, “Whose handkerchief is this? Why did it land in my courtyard?”

Wei Ting picked up the square handkerchief. There was an extremely faint and imperceptible fragrance on it.

It seemed that the person last night had sensed something. He wiped the sword and the remaining spices on his body with a handkerchief and threw them into this family’s courtyard.

What a cunning guy!

In a pavilion east of the capital, Wei Qing was sitting in a wheelchair. The assassin guarded him with a serious expression.

His back was facing the stairs as he looked at the endless mountains.

A man in white walked up the stairs to the pavilion.

“You wanted to see me?”

He said.

The assassin gave him a wary look.

Wei Qing did not turn his wheelchair around. He continued to look in the direction of the mountains and said coldly, ‘Why did you assassinate my father?”

The man in white did not show any guilt. “He’s no longer your father. He’s just a killing puppet in the hands of the Saintess.”

Wei Qing wheeled the wheelchair around and said word by word, “He’s not a puppet!”

The man in white met his sharp gaze and did not dodge or retreat.

“Is that so? It’s been a while since you saved him. Does he still recognize you? Does he still remember who you are? Is he not tortured by qi deviation? Does he often attack you? The bloodthirsty instinct has already been engraved in his bones. There’s no cure! Even if he still has a trace of rationality now, he will lose control gradually. In the end, he will become a complete murderer.”

Wei Qing gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly. “He’ll get better… He remembers Xi Yue when he’s awake… He remembers Little Seven when he sleepwalks… This is what’s engraved in his bones.”

The man in white said calmly, “Believe it or not, he will kill everyone one day.”

Wei Qing looked at him coldly. “I won’t jump to conclusions about what hasn’t happen. I only know that he’s my father. I won’t allow anyone to hurt him.”

“It hasn’t happened… Heh.”

The man in white left a mocking sneer and turned to leave.

Wei Qing looked at his back and said coldly, “If there’s a next time, we’ll be mortal enemies!”

The man in white paused and left without hesitation.

“Sir.” The assassin looked at Wei Qing. “Do you want to summon the Black Armored Guards?”

Summoning the black-armored guards meant that they were going to start a massacre.

Wei Qing looked at the gradually disappearing figure at the foot of the mountain and made a difficult decision. “Summon!”

Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji brought Cheng Sang out of the Cheng family.

Ever since Cheng Sang went crazy, she had never left the house.

Although the Cheng family was also very big, it would still become a cage after being locked up for 30 years.

Cheng Sang sat in the carriage and pushed open the windows on both sides. She looked here and there.

She was like a bird that had finally flown out of its cage. She couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes.

“Weiwei, look!”

“Little bird demon, look!”

Mei Ji rolled her eyes. “What little bird demon? You might as well call me a vixen. ”

The streets were bustling with activity and there were many new things that Cheng Sang had never seen.

At first, she only leaned against the carriage window to look. After a while, half of her body stuck out.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao asked the coachman to stop the carriage.

She and Mei Ji brought Cheng Sang down for a walk.

Cheng Sang looked at the crowded streets, rows of shops, and dazzling stalls and let out the longest exclamation in history. “Wow!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Is there anything you want to eat, buy, or play with?”

Cheng Sang rubbed his hands. “I want to eat them all! I want to buy them all! I want to play with them all!”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

It was almost lunchtime. Cheng Sang did not eat much for breakfast. Coupled with the fact that she had exhausted a lot of stamina beating up the Saintess, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

“What do you want to eat first, Mother?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“I want to eat that.” Cheng Sang pointed at a small stall at the entrance of the alley.

There was a pine cake seller there. There were cakes with red bean filling, lotus filling, and honey date filling. Beside him was a dumpling seller. There were all kinds of flavors.

In the Great Zhou, there were only dumplings around the Dragon Boat Festival. Usually, one would not see a stall selling dumplings.

“I want to eat dumplings too,” Mei Ji said.

The three of them went over and sat down.

Su Xiaoxiao asked for a plate of three flavored pine cakes and two dumplings. Cheng Sang liked sweet dumplings, and Mei Ji liked meat dumplings.

The pine cakes tasted good.

It was soft and dense. The filling of the bean paste and lotus seed was very delicate. It was hot and sweet.

Cheng Sang hadn’t eaten enough, so she went to choose her own taste.

She pointed at them one by one. “I want this, this, this, this!”

Seeing that she was as happy as a child, Mei Ji couldn’t help but sigh. “I wonder how many days there are left.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood what she was referring to. It was rare that she didn’t avoid this topic.

She placed the peeled dumpling in Cheng Sang’s bowl. “How good would it be if her biological granddaughter was really still alive.”

The three of them left after eating and drinking.

At the other table, the woman, who had her back facing the three of them, slowly stood up.

She was none other than the Saintess’s trusted aide, Emissary Lu. Emissary Lu did not expect to discover a shocking secret while eating a pine cake.

She went to the Cheng family without a word.

“Are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?”

The Saintess sat behind the veil and asked her.

Emissary Lu said, “I’m sure. She admitted it herself that she’s not Cheng Sang’s biological granddaughter! Cheng Sang’s biological granddaughter is already dead! She’s an imposter!”

The Saintess said, “I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a chance to teach that girl a lesson. What a gift!”

“Miss.”

A smart maidservant walked forward.

The Saintess said, “Inform my father and ask him to call the elders to the house. I have something important to announce.”

Emissary Lu said, “Will everyone believe you? Those elders follow Cheng Sang’s lead.’

The Saintess said calmly, “In the past, I suspected that she might be real. If it was confirmed, it would confirm her identity, and it would be even more difficult to chase her out of the house. Now that she has admitted it herself, why wouldn’t I dare to verify it?”

Emissary Lu said, “Are you planning to…”

The Saintess said seriously, “Invite the Gu. Only blood relatives can fuse with it. Otherwise, they will die from the poison!” This time, she wouldn’t miss..
