Chapter 854 - 854: Grandmother’s Backing (2)
Then she stood up from the wheelchair.
Mei Ji was dumbfounded. She could walk…
Su Xiaoxiao moved into Cheng Sang’s courtyard.
Finally, she remained in the Cheng family. The first step was successful.
Next was to think of a way to enter the Holy Maiden Temple because be it the herbs Wei Qing needed or Wei Xu’s whereabouts, they were all related to the Holy Maiden Temple.
“Miss, I’m going to catch pigeons!” Mei Ji said.
Su Xiaoxiao instructed in a low voice, “Go and check if there’s a Gu Master surnamed Han in the residence.”
When Cheng Qingxue went to Broken North Pass, she brought a Gu Master with her. She remembered that Cheng Qingxue called him Uncle Han.
Cheng Qingxue really did not seem to be too shrewd. It was most likely Uncle Han’s mission to search for the relics of the previous dynasty’s Emperor Wu at Broken North Pass.
He might know Wei Xu’s whereabouts better.
“Leave it to me!”
Mei Ji patted her chest and hummed a tune as she went to catch pigeons.
After Cheng Sang entered the house, she realized that Weiwei had not followed her. She asked in jealousy, “What did you say to that little bird demon just
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I asked her to catch a few more pigeons. I’ll roast them for Mom to eat.”
Cheng Sang was happy again. “I want to eat Weiwei’s pigeons!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her sorry state and said, “I’ll change Mom’s clothes first.” Cheng Sang agreed obediently.
The servants carried the clothes in and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao hesitantly.
One of the maids hesitated, as if she wanted to remind her, but was stopped by her companion’s gaze.
Her companion pulled her out.
“Why don’t you let me say it?”
“What are you saying? She’s not the real master. She’s just an impostor. First
Madam is crazv. Are vou crazv too?”
“But she’ll be scratched by First Madam.”
First Madam hated changing clothes the most. Before they changed First Madam’s clothes, they had to put on gloves for First Madam first. Otherwise, they would be scratched by First Madam without exception.
“She’s showing off. Let her do it!”
The two maidservants guarded the door, waiting for the sound of wild shrieks and howls to come from inside.
Surprisingly, the house was extremely quiet.
The two of them mustered their courage and leaned against the door, quietly looking inside.
They wouldn’t have known if they hadn’t seen it, but they were shocked.
First Madam had already changed her clothes and even had her hair combed neatly!
One had to know that First Madam hated changing clothes and others touching her hair. She did not know how long it would take to coax her every day.
Cheng Sang sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror and looked at Su Xiaoxiao in the mirror with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao put a golden jade hairpin on her hair. “We won’t wear silver today. The gold looks good too.” “Weiwei’s picks are all beautiful!”
Cheng Sang smiled like a child.
After Cheng Lian returned to her room, she said nothing.
“Mother! That little bitch caught all my pigeons!”
Cheng Qingxue opened the curtain angrily and entered the house. She saw Cheng Lian sitting in the room in a daze. She was slightly stunned. “Mother, what’s wrong?”
Cheng Lian came back to her senses. “What?”
Cheng Qingxue pointed at her hand. “You cut the pouch you made for Sister.”
Cheng Lian looked down and her eyelashes trembled. “I… I saw that this pouch wasn’t made well, so I made another for your sister.”
Cheng Qingxue looked at her curiously. “You said yesterday that you did it very well and asked me to send it to Sister today.”
Cheng Lian smiled. “I suddenly feel that it’s not good enough.”
Cheng Qingxue did not suspect anything. She sat down beside Cheng Lian and muttered, “Mother, could she really be Elder Mother’s granddaughter? I’ve never seen Elder Mother so close to anyone! Do you still remember that a few years ago, in order to comfort Elder Mother, Father found a baby girl to pretend to be Elder Mother’s child? Elder Mother said on the spot that that child was not.”
“Your Elder Mother only recognizes that bracelet.” Cheng Lian’s expression did not change as she put away the scissors. “She can’t be legitimate.”
Cheng Qingxue snorted. “She better not be! Otherwise, what will become of me and Sister?”
Cheng Sang had been crazy for so many years and had long faded from the world. When everyone mentioned the Cheng family, how could they still remember Cheng Sang? They only knew Old Master Cheng’s daughter, Cheng Lian.
Cheng Lian’s children were the legitimate children and the only heir of the Cheng family.
Cheng Lian lowered her eyes and slowly touched the pouch that she had cut. She said calmly, “The Cheng family belongs to you and your sister. No one can snatch what belongs to you two sisters.” Cheng Qingxue nodded.
“Does your face still hurt?” Cheng Lian asked.
“It hurts,” Cheng Qingxue wheedled.
“Come over and let Mother take a look.”
“Mother, Elder Mother actually said that I’m That imposter is the uzlv
one! I think Elder Mother is crazy…”
When she said the last word, she received Cheng Lian’s stern gaze.
She shut her mouth resentfully. “Got it. I won’t talk nonsense about Elder Mother anymore. Mother, you’re too kind. Elder Mother has hurt you so many times, but you never bickered with her and even respected her as your biological sister.”
Cheng Lian brought the medicine over. “This is what I should do. She’s my sister after all.”
Cheng Qingxue snorted. “If my sister treats me like this, I won’t care about her!”
Cheng Lian smiled. “Your sister won’t treat you like this. You were born from the same womb.”
“Of course. Sister dotes on me the most! Hiss… it hurts! ” Cheng Qingxue cried.
Cheng Lian put down the ointment and sighed. “It’s too swollen. Go get some medicine from Uncle Han and bring the materials I bought for your sister over.”
“Got it.”
Cheng Qingxue put on her veil and left.
Mei Ji followed behind her silently. Wuhu nestled in Mei Ji’s chest.
Mei Ji’s chest were also fragrant and soft!
“He’s actually not in the Cheng family.”
Mei Ji muttered and followed with her movement technique.
The carriage did not travel for long before turning into an alley.
It was dark there, and the air smelled of dye and spices.
After Cheng Qingxue alighted from the carriage, she entered one of the dye shops.
Mei Ji flew over the eaves and walls to a roof.
She gently removed a tile and the sound of conversation came from inside. It was a man and a woman.
The woman said, “The Saintess is very disappointed that you couldn’t bring back the Snow Domain Hemp this time.”
Uncle Han said in fear, “Saintess, please forgive me.”
The woman’s voice was cold. “If not for the fact that Second Miss took part of the blame for you, you should know your outcome.”
Uncle Han cupped his hands. “Yes.”
The woman continued, “The Saintess said that the plan has to be brought forward.”
“Why?” Uncle Han asked in confusion.
The woman said with a complicated expression, “That person is about to wake up.”
Mei Ji scratched her head.
Who was that person?
