Cheng Sang couldn’t overturn Mei Ji with the floral rope, but was able to beat her at crickets.
“Weiwei! Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu!”
Cheng Sang was overjoyed to see the three of them and stopped her game.
Mei Ji grabbed her wrist. “Hey, hey, hey, I’m about to win this round—don’t leave—I’
Cheng Sang said, “Play by yourself! I want to play with Weiwei, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu!”
Mei Ji’s face darkened.
Cheng Sang and the three little ones played crazily in the garden, calling out for Weiwei from time to time.
Cheng Lian happened to pass by and heard Cheng Sang’s laughter. She couldn’t help but stop.
“Weiwei!”
Cheng Sang waved at Su Xiaoxiao.
Cheng Lian frowned and asked the accompanying maidservant, “What did
Cheng Sang call just now?”
The maidservant said uncertainly, “I think… it’s… Weiwei?”
“Weiwei?”
Cheng Lian looked at Cheng Sang suspiciously.
“Does she still treat that girl as her daughter? In that case, she hasn’t recovered at all… She’s just pretending! She really knows how to pretend. She lied to me and Yunhe for so long!”
Looking at Cheng Sang, who was smiling like a flower, Cheng Lian suddenly felt a strong sense of jealousy.
Why could she be so carefree when she was in deep trouble?
Was a lunatic worthy?!
The more Cheng Sang smiled, the more uncomfortable Cheng Lian felt.
She could not figure it out. They were both daughters of the Cheng family, but just because one was born by the legitimate wife and the other by a concubine, the treatment was worlds apart.
Her father didn’t dote on her since she was young and only cared about Cheng Sang.
She could only get some of her father’s attention by currying favor with Cheng Sang and being her playmate.
But she was clearly not stupider or uglier than Cheng Sang.
Why did she have to lead such a bitter life?
Cheng Sang was lucky to have survived in the haunted mine.
However, she did not expect Cheng Sang’s child to be so lucky. She was poisoned and buried alive, but she did not die!
To think that, many years later, the little girl would come to collect debts from her!
She would not admit defeat!
Everything about Cheng Sang was hers!
She would take them back!
“Aunt Cheng, what are you doing?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly appeared behind Cheng Lian.
Cheng Lian trembled in fear and turned around with a pale face.
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at the small garden. “Aren’t you…” Was this girl a ghost?
Without anyone noticing, she circled behind her from the small garden.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Aunt Cheng, what are you thinking about? You don’t even know that I’m here?”
Cheng Lian hated Su Xiaoxiao to the core.
If this girl had not exposed Cheng Qingxue’s background, would Xie Yunhe have a feud with her?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Aunt, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face? Or is it that when you see me, you think of your youngest daughter, whom you haven’t seen for a long time, and you miss her so much?”
Cheng Lian was instantly angered. “You still have the cheek to mention it!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s smile remained unchanged. “If you have the cheek to be a concubine, why are you afraid of others mentioning it?”
‘You!”
Cheng Lian couldn’t win against her. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly. “Don’t be too arrogant. Do you really think I don’t know your secret? Cheng Sang hasn’t recovered at all. You instigated everything behind our backs!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s smile froze.
Cheng Lian caught the flash of guilt on her face and finally turned the tables. She said proudly, “If I tell the family about this, do you think those elders will continue to believe you, the young master?”
Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth.
Cheng Lian smiled proudly. “Why? You can’t speak anymore, right? Actually, whether Cheng Sang recovers or not won’t affect your position as the young master, but you shouldn’t have treated the elders as fools. A clay figurine still has some temper. Just wait to be chased out of the family!” “Cheng Lian,” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly. “You did it back then, right?”
Cheng Lian frowned.
She did not understand why this girl suddenly changed the topic to back then.
Back then?
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her expressionlessly. “My grandmother was lured to the abandoned mine by you. You knew that a man was living inside and wanted to ruin my grandmother’s reputation, but you didn’t expect him to be a gentleman. Are you very disappointed that the two of them are innocent?”
What nonsense was this girl talking about?
Cheng Lian looked at Su Xiaoxiao curiously.
She had lured Cheng Sang to the mine because it was said that it was haunted and people would die from the fright.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t seem to notice the confusion in her eyes. She threatened coldly, “If you dare to tell others that my grandmother hasn’t recovered, I’ll publicize your crime of framing my grandmother back then! At that time, let’s see who’s chased out of the Cheng family first!”
With that, Su Xiaoxiao left without looking back.
Cheng Lian glared at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely and turned to return to the courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the small garden.
Mei Ji looked up. “She left. How is it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “She didn’t know that someone lived in the mine. She probably just wanted to scare my grandmother to death back then.”
Mei Ji asked, “Does Xie Yunhe know?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. “I don’t think so. They’re birds of a feather. This kind of thing can’t be hidden for 30 years.”
Mei Ji nodded. “Then the Saintess…”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I bet the Saintess doesn’t know either.” Mei Ji continued, “Will Cheng Lian tell the Saintess?”
Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, “She might not believe me, but she will definitely complain to the Saintess.”
Now that her youngest daughter and husband were no longer by her side, who could Cheng Lian tell?
It could only be the Saintess.
The Saintess had just come. The King of the Southern Wilderness had summoned the Saintess.
It was obvious that the King of the Southern Wilderness was going to question her about Wei Xu not being purified.
The King of the Southern Wilderness suspected the Saintess.
The Saintess also knew that she was suspected.
At this moment, the Saintess was not strong enough to resist the King of the Southern Wilderness. She would temporarily put away her ambition.
To show her loyalty, she would help the King of the Southern Wilderness obtain Wei Xu.
However, if she found out about the existence of another “King of the Southern Wilderness”, would she still help the one in the palace capture Wei Xu?
