Chapter 696 New Family (Part 3)



Zheng Hai smiled awkwardly.

"The situation of the Cheng family... is a bit complicated. When Old Master Cheng was alive, he had no sons, only two daughters, one legitimate and one illegitimate. In order to continue the incense of the Cheng family, Old Master Cheng found a live-in son-in-law for his legitimate daughter. Not long after the wedding, Cheng became pregnant, but fate played a trick on her, and she gave birth to a stillborn baby, a baby girl.

"Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. Within two years, Old Master Cheng and Old Madam Cheng also died of illness one after another, and the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of Cheng's son-in-law.

“To be honest, this son-in-law of the Cheng family is quite capable. He manages the family in an orderly manner. Since he has no son, he supports the children of the side branches. The Cheng family is thriving and has risen from the bottom of the four major families to the top two.

"Later, he married Cheng's concubine sister, saying that he wanted to leave descendants for the Cheng family. The Cheng family's incense could not be cut off, so the clan agreed. Their eldest daughter is the current saint, and the second daughter is the one you met on the street today."

After listening to this, Su Xiaoxiao felt that the Cheng family was a huge mess.

She asked Zheng Haidao: "So, you want to arrange for me to be the daughter of the Cheng family. Where did this daughter come from?"

Zheng Hai smiled and looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "The baby girl didn't die. She survived in the coffin. A kind-hearted person passing by heard her crying, rescued her, and took her in and raised her. And you are her daughter."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

"Will the Cheng family recognize it?" Wei Ting finally spoke.

Zheng Hai smiled and said to the two of them, "This bracelet is the ornament that was buried with the baby girl. Just insist that it was left to you by your mother."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "What about my mother?"

Zheng Hai said: "She passed away and told you the truth before she died. She seemed not to care, but she had already inquired about it. This bracelet is only available in the capital. She hoped that you could go back to the capital to find out your origins. After inquiring from many sources, you finally found out your origins."

Su Xiaoxiao's expression was hard to describe: "This 'find out my background through many inquiries'... isn't that a bit perfunctory? This is not something a weak woman can find out, right?"

Zheng Hai coughed lightly: "These are all I can think of for now. If there are any loopholes, you can fill them up yourself."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

"I don't look like a Cheng family member."

"You look like Dad."

"Where's my dad?"

"He's dead too."

"Where is the family that adopted my mother?"

"Epidemic, all died."

Su Xiaoxiao again: "..."

Zheng Hai opened the cabinet and took out a stack of documents: "I have found two places where there was plague. The household registration and travel permits for both places have been processed. You can choose one of them."

Su Xiaoxiao: There is no script, only props, right? Su Xiaoxiao took the household registration and pass, and thought of the people who were traveling with her, and said, "My household registration alone is not enough, and we have quite a few people coming this time."

"How much?" Zheng Hai asked.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her fingers one by one: "One pair of hands is not enough."

This time it was Zheng Hai's turn to remain silent.

You didn't tell me, boss, they come in droves...

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Give me one day. I will prepare a pass for you by noon tomorrow at the latest."

After coming out of Jinxiu Cloth Shop, Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood.

Wei Ting glanced at her: "So happy?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I'm happy that we can go to the capital! Xiao Shunyang thought that by withholding our pass, he could make it impossible for us to move forward. You must be dumbfounded, right?"

Wei Ting chuckled and said, "I see you are eager to become the daughter of the Cheng family, right?"

"cough."

Don't talk about it even if you see it through.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "I am doing this so that I can find my father and my second brother's medicine. Cheng family, didn't you hear what Lao Zheng said? The current Saint is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. What does this mean? The Cheng family is related to the Saint's Palace! If I enter the Cheng family, it will be much easier to get information or find medicine!"

Wei Ting looked at her doubtfully: "Are you sure you're not doing this for your own amusement?"

"Of course not!"

Su Xiaoxiao put her hands behind her back, shook her head, and walked away proudly! After returning to the inn, the two went to Wei Qing's place.

The four little ones sat in a row eating rice cakes. A little macaw stood beside them, also pecking at the rice cake happily.

When they saw their mother coming back, Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu immediately stopped sitting, came over and stuck to her, and continued to eat rice cakes.

Wei Ting told Zheng Hai about his visit to Jinxiu Cloth Shop. As for the origin of the brocade bag, Wei Ting only mentioned that it was sent by Su Li.

When Li Wan saw Su Li coming to see her off that day, she also thought it was arranged by the old marquis.

As for what Wei Qing was thinking, it was unknown. He was as cunning as Su Xuan. Who knew if the two spy chiefs had the same sense of smell? Anyway, Wei Qing did not ask a single question.

Li Wan said softly, "I was just talking to your second brother about the pass. We need to check the pass all the way to the capital. Can the shopkeeper Zheng really get so many passes?"

"He said yes." Su Xiaoxiao said.

It was a good thing that the problem of the travel permit had been solved, but when she thought about her seventh brother's wife going to the Cheng family, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She looked at Wei Qing: "Husband, is the Cheng family safe?"

Wei Qing closed the book he had been reading halfway.

Wei Ting's face darkened. I was talking to you while you were reading a book. As soon as your second sister-in-law started talking, you immediately stopped reading.

Is there any brother like this?

Wei Qing ignored his brother's resentment and answered his wife softly, "The situation of the Cheng family is exactly as the shopkeeper said. The current head of the family is the former son-in-law of the Cheng family, and the current mistress is the young Cheng. As for the original wife of the son-in-law of the Cheng family, it is said that she has not come out to see people for many years."

Li Wan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao worriedly: "Then...wouldn't Seventh Brother's wife be alone and helpless if she went there?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't get a tiger cub without risking the tiger's den. The herbs we need are in the Saint Maiden Palace. The Cheng family is currently the only chance to get close to the Saint Maiden Palace. Besides, I have already torn my face with the second daughter of the Cheng family. If I go to the capital, she will cause trouble for me. Instead of being tricked by her, it is better to come to her openly. At least she can't touch me openly."

"Do you agree too?" Wei Qing looked at Wei Ting.

Wei Ting snorted.

Wei Qing sighed. He was just reading a book for a while. How could he be so jealous even at such an old age?

Wei Ting glanced at a certain fat peacock with a haughty look on his face: "Will it be of any use if I disagree?"

Someone is just waiting to cause a big commotion at the Cheng family.

Su Xiaoxiao doesn't like to feel depressed. Why not use such a good identity?

Although going to the Cheng family does have certain risks, this is the spy chief's style. He always risks his life and is ruthless to everyone.

Three more

In the past, you all called me the eldest sister-in-law, but now you all call me the fourth sister-in-law. You are such fickle women╭(╯^╰)╮
