The Holy Maiden said calmly, “He Yuying, you came at the right time.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “My name is Cheng Su.”
The Saintess said indifferently, “You’re not on the genealogy yet, so I can only address you by your original name first.”
She had atatcked her the moment she arrived. The level of attack was not low.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and retorted, “Don’t you know why I’m not on the genealogy? You’re guarding against me like you’re guarding against thieves.
Did you give me a chance to do it?”
A trace of coldness flashed across the Saintess’ eyes.
However, she quickly calmed down and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “I didn’t call the elders of the clan over today to let them see the two of us fighting.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You make it sound like I’m being unreasonable, but you were clearly the one who started the trouble first. I used Cheng Su’s name when I went to the Holy Selection and the Holy Maiden Temple acknowledged it. As the Saintess, do you not even know this? Why did you deliberately call me by my name in the He family?”
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t led by the nose. Although Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care what others thought of her, she wasn’t willing to be Cheng Qingyao’s stepping stone.
At first, everyone did feel that this little girl was a little sharp-tongued, but after hearing her analysis, they felt that it made sense.
The Saintess’ intention of targeting her was a little too obvious.
Cheng Lian said at the right time, “Cheng Su, the Saintess didn’t mean to target you. It’s really a big deal. When it’s confirmed that you’re from the Cheng family, I’ll definitely get the Saintess to apologize to you.”
Although she spoke amiably, her eyes clearly said, “I’m afraid you’ll die from the poison before it can happen.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced around and came to a realization. “Oh, so you want to run a blood test to acknowledge me?”
The Saint corrected, “It’s not a blood test. It’s a Gu test.”
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she had never heard of it, but she swallowed her words.
There were many Gu techniques in the southern border, and even a few-year-old child knew how to cast Gu.
If this kind of Gu technique was very common in the southern border, as He Yuying, she should not be ignorant.
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened. “You want to poison me?”
The Saintess looked into Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes without blinking. “If you’re really my Elder Mother’s granddaughter, this Gu is harmless to you. Otherwise, it will poison your heart and kill you on the spot.”
It turned out that she was using Gu to target Su Xiaoxiuao.
Poison?
Huh!
Su Xiaoxiao sneered. “My grandmother has already acknowledged me. Don’t you think this is excessive?”
The Saintess asked, “Are you feeling guilty?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If I’m feeling guilty, I wouldn’t be standing here. However, I can’t let you suspect me for nothing. I’m also someone who cares about my face. To think a concubine’s daughter actually dares to make a big fuss to test the blood of the legitimate wife’ offspring. Those who don’t know would think that you’re the head of the family!”
The Saintess said coldly, “Do you still want to negotiate?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Of course! Otherwise, wouldn’t anyone who doubts me in the future be able to give me the next Gu?”
The Saintess asked angrily, “What do you want?”
Su Xiaoxiao paced around the house. “It’s fine if you let me do the test, but if it’s confirmed that I’m from the Cheng family, I want you to kneel down and kowtow to me!”
Everyone gasped.
How could she dare to make the Saintess kneel to her?
The Saintess had a respected status. Even if she saw the King of the Southern Border, she did not have to kneel…
The Saintess’s eyes were cold. “I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t back down. “If you can afford to kneel, I can afford to accept
The Saintess’s hands, buried under her wide sleeves, clenched into fists.
What an arrogant girl. Even the princess and prince did not dare to be so arrogant in front of her.
True.
She was a fake.
Naturally, she wanted to force her back.
Unfortunately, she saw through such a small trick at a glance.
“Okay, I promise you.”
Su Xiaoxiao stood in the middle. “Alright, cast the Gu!”
The Saintess frowned slightly at her fearless appearance.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Remember to knock harder when you kowtow later. Of course, if you want to go back on your word, it’s not impossible.”
The Saintess was originally a little suspicious, but she was relieved to hear the last sentence.
On the surface, Su Xiaoxiao looked calm, but she was actually forcing the Saintess to beat a retreat.
She would not go back on her word, nor would she give this girl a chance to go back on her word.
“Where’s my Elder Mother?”
“She’s exhausted from shopping all day. She’s already rested.”
This was the truth. Cheng Sang fell asleep in the carriage, and it was Mei Ji who carried her into the house.
The Saintess took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the maidservant to show it to the elders and uncles present.
The elders recognized this Gu and nodded to show that there was nothing wrong.
Next was to take a drop of Cheng Sang’s blood and drip it in.
In order to confirm that she had not tampered with it, the Saintess called Uncle Quan over and asked him to go with her to get blood.
The Saintess said to Su Xiaoxiao, “If you’re worried, you can come over too.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Isn’t it only right for me to be worried? That’s my grandmother. What if you hurt her? Can you stop digging a hole for me with every word, making me seem unreasonable and unruly?” The Saintess was speechless.
The few of them went to Cheng Sang’s courtyard.
Mei Ji guarded the bed.
“Do you want to do it or should I?” the Saintess asked.
“Let me do it,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
The Holy Maiden handed her the porcelain bottle.
Cheng Sang was sleeping soundly.
Su Xiaoxiao made a quick move. The silver needles quickly pricked her fingertips and squeezed out a few drops of blood.
Then, she pressed it down with a sterilized cotton ball and said to Mei Ji, “Press it.”
Mei Ji pressed on the finger with the cotton.
“Give it to Uncle Quan,” the Saintess said to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the porcelain bottle containing the Gu worm and Cheng Sang’s blood to Uncle Quan. Uncle Quan said to the Saintess, “Saintess, please.”
The two of them left the house.
Mei Ji whispered, “Will anything happen? You and Cheng Sang are not blood-related at all.’
Su Xiaoxiao patted her hand and whispered, “Don’t worry, I have a way to resolve this.”
The few of them returned to the reception hall.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was already tense.
They could not wait to witness the next scene.
Cheng Lian looked calm on the surface, but uncontrollable excitement had already surged in her eyes.
Finally, she was going to make this hateful girl pay. If she died, Cheng Sang would be alone and helpless.
“Are you ready?” the Saint asked.
“Let’s begin,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
The Saintess unplugged the bottle and waved her fingertip, placing the Gu on Su Xiaoxiao. “Half an incense stick at most.”
In fact, half an incense stick of time was too much. Ordinary people would die from the poison in a few breaths.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and prepared to enter the pharmacy.
However, something unbelievable happened.
She actually couldn’t enter!
Su Xiaoxiao blinked in shock.
She tried a few more times.
She did not enter once!
No kidding?
Why did it drop this at the critical moment?
Do you want to die with Su Xiaoxiao?
The half incense stick on the table burned bit by bit. Su Xiaoxiao felt terrible!
What was going on?
Could it be any less reliable?
An inch.
Half an inch.
The incense was about to burn to the bottom.
Cold sweat dripped down Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead.
Oh no.
She was going to die.
She was going to die at the hands of this damned and unreliable pharmacy!
Su Xiaoxiao fell into a chair.
In Cheng Lian and the Holy Maiden’s eyes, her Gu poison had acted up.
She couldn’t hold on any longer. “It’s time!”
Cheng Rui spoke excitedly.
Yes, it was time for her to be buried…
“My unborn children… my three sons who I didn’t see for the last time… and my beautiful husband with whom I didn’t sleep enough…”
“All of them…’
Wait.
What did he say about the time?
Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and looked at the burnt incense on the table.
The reception hall was silent. A voice exploded in Su Xiaoxiao’s heart..
