Chapter 705: Grandmother's Support (Part 2)



Everyone was extremely surprised that she actually calmed down the sick eldest lady.

Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji had just arrived and did not know how serious the eldest lady's illness was. However, Xie Yunhe, Cheng Lian and all the servants who had taken care of her knew it well.

Once her madness broke out, the whole yard would be in trouble, and she had to be tied up with ropes to prevent her from hurting others or herself.

Especially when it comes to the lost baby girl…

Sometimes, even without anyone reminding her, she still has a hard time remembering it herself.

Being so excited that she fainted and couldn't breathe was the least of her worries. There were several times when she even tried to commit suicide, which made the servants very upset.

There was silence at the gate and no one dared to say a word.

"Weiwei...you are Weiwei..."

Cheng Sang grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand and kept repeating this sentence. Su Xiaoxiao also answered her patiently over and over again.

Although the servants didn't say anything, they already had a bad feeling in their hearts.

As expected, Su Xiaoxiao wiped Cheng Sang's tears, lowered her head and said softly, "Mom, Weiwei is leaving."

Cheng Sang's heart tightened, and he held her hand tightly: "Why did Weiwei want to leave?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Xie Yunhe beside her, and said in a depressed mood: "Dad wants Weiwei to leave and drive Weiwei out."

Xie Yunhe: “……!!”

“Weiwei can’t leave!” Cheng Sang suddenly became ferocious, like a mother animal protecting her cub.

Xie Yunhe turned pale at Cheng Sang's glare, and said hastily, "I didn't chase Weiwei away, don't be angry."

"Dad, are you really not going to chase Weiwei away?" Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the stunned Cheng Qingxue with an innocent look on her face. "Weiwei ate her pigeon and slapped her in the face. Are you sure Dad is not angry with Weiwei anymore?"

The corners of Xie Yunhe's mouth twitched.

Cheng Sang protected his cub and glared at Cheng Qingxue fiercely: "Weiwei likes to eat pigeons, so catch all her pigeons and give them to Weiwei to eat!"

Cheng Qingxue was furious: "Why?"

"Shut up!" Cheng Lian said in a low voice.

Cheng Qingxue felt so wronged.

Originally, the idea was to use the old lady's madness to chase away the two little scammers, but how come in the end, it gave the little scammers a higher status?

And she got rid of so many pigeons!

Cheng Lian looked at her daughter's red eyes, smiled gently, and came to Cheng Sang and said, "Sister, Weiwei didn't say she liked to eat pigeons..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh, I like it."

Cheng Lian: “…”

Mei Ji raised her chin and said, "Yes, my young lady likes it very much. The pigeons raised by Miss Cheng Qingxue are fat and tender, and are most suitable for roasting pigeons. Miss, I'm afraid they will pass off inferior products as good ones, so why don't I go catch the pigeons myself later!"

The last sentence was directed to Cheng Sang.

Cheng Sang looked at Mei Ji in bewilderment and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Who is this little goblin?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "She is my maid, her name is Meiji."

"Chicken?" Cheng Sang was extremely surprised. "She is a chicken?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Uh, no..."

"I know!" Cheng Sang lowered his voice and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "She is a bird spirit!"

Mei Ji's face was extremely dark. She was so beautiful, how could she be a fox spirit? How could she be a bird spirit? Su Xiaoxiao suppressed the corners of her lips and said to Cheng Sang, "Then, it must be a bird spirit, but it is also a very powerful bird spirit, protecting Wei Wei and not letting anyone hurt Wei Wei."

"Oh." Cheng Sang accepted it reluctantly and ordered seriously, "Little bird spirit, go catch the pigeons."

Meiji doesn't like this name, but she likes eating pigeons.

Okay, compromise.

She came to Cheng Qingxue with a smile and said, "Let's go!"

Cheng Qingxue was so angry that she stamped her feet! With Cheng Sang's protection, Su Xiaoxiao successfully stayed in the Cheng family. Not only that, she could no longer live in her original yard. Cheng Sang wanted to see her every day and asked her to move into his own yard.

Xie Yunhe stopped him: "No!"

Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "Mom, Dad probably doesn't like me, I'd better leave."

Cheng Sang hugged her and said, "Mom likes you! Just live with me! I'll see who can kick you out!"

The servants dared not even utter a sound.

Cheng Sang glared at Xie Yunhe fiercely: "Tell me! Are you going to chase Weiwei away?"

Xie Yunhe closed his eyes helplessly: "No, don't chase her away."

Cheng Lian looked towards Xie Yunhe.

Cheng Sang added: "Let Weiwei live with me!"

Xie Yunhe sighed: "...Okay, I'll live with you."

Cheng Sang took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Weiwei, let's go in!"

Then she stood up from her wheelchair.

Meiji was dumbfounded: You can walk...

Su Xiaoxiao moved into Cheng Sang's yard.

Finally I stayed at Cheng's house. The first step was successful.

The next step is to find a way to enter the Holy Maiden Hall, because whether it is the medicinal materials that Wei Qing needs or the whereabouts of Wei Xu, they are all related to the Holy Maiden Hall.

"Miss, I'm going to catch pigeons!" said Mei Ji.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Go check if there is a Gu Master named Han in the mansion."

When Cheng Qingxue went to Suibei Pass, she brought a Gu Master with her. She remembered that Cheng Qingxue called the other person Uncle Han.

Cheng Qingxue doesn't seem to be a very scheming person. Going to Suibei Gate to search for the relics of the previous Emperor Wu was most likely the task of Uncle Han.

He may know more about Wei Xu's whereabouts.

"Leave it to me!"

Meiji patted her chest, hummed a little tune and went to catch pigeons.

After Cheng Sang entered the house, he found that Weiwei had not followed him, and asked with some jealousy: "What did you say to that little bird spirit just now?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I asked her to catch a few more pigeons so I can roast them for mom to eat."

Cheng Sang became happy again: "Mom wants to eat the pigeons that Weiwei made!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in such a mess and said, "I'll change your clothes first."

Cheng Sang agreed obediently.

One of the maids seemed to want to say something but hesitated, as if she wanted to remind someone, but was stopped by her companion with a look.

Her companions pulled her out.

"Why won't you let me speak?"

"What are you talking about? She's not the real mistress, she's just an imposter. The first lady is crazy, are you crazy too?"

"But she will be scratched by the eldest lady."

The eldest lady hated changing clothes the most. Before changing her clothes, they had to put on gloves for her first, otherwise they would be scratched by her, without exception.

"She's showing off, let her go!"

Two maids stood guard at the door, waiting for the sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling from inside.

But surprisingly, the room was very quiet.

The two of them bravely climbed to the door and took a quiet look inside.

You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.

The eldest lady had actually changed her clothes and even combed her hair neatly! You know, the eldest lady hated changing clothes and hated others touching her hair. I don’t know how long it took to coax her to comb her hair every day.

Cheng Sang sat in front of the bronze mirror very obediently, looking at Su Xiaoxiao in the mirror with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao put a gold and jade hairpin on her head and said, "I won't wear silver jewelry today. Gold looks good too."

“Everything Weiwei picked is beautiful!”

Cheng Sang smiled like a child.

After Cheng Lian returned to the room, she said nothing.

"Mom! That little bitch took all my pigeons!"

Cheng Qingxue angrily pulled aside the curtain and walked into the room, and saw Cheng Lian sitting in the room.

She was slightly stunned: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Lian came back to her senses: "What?"

Cheng Qingxue pointed at her hand and said, "Cut the purse you made for your sister."

Cheng Lian looked down and her eyelashes trembled: "I... I saw that this purse was not well made, so I made another one for your sister."

Cheng Qingxue gave her a strange look and said, "You said yesterday that you did a good job and asked me to deliver it to my sister today."

Cheng Lian smiled and said, "Suddenly I feel it's not good enough."

Cheng Qingxue did not doubt him, and sat down next to Cheng Lian, muttering: "Mom, she can't really be Auntie's granddaughter, right? I have never seen Auntie be so close to anyone! Do you remember that in the early years, Dad found a baby girl to pretend to be Auntie's child in order to comfort Auntie? Auntie said on the spot that the child was not hers."

"Your aunt only recognizes that bracelet." Cheng Lian's expression remained unchanged and she put away the scissors. "She can't be that one."

Cheng Qingxue snorted, "She better not be! Otherwise, what will become of me and my sister?"

Cheng Sang had been crazy for so many years and had long since faded from people's sight. When people mentioned the Cheng family, who would remember Cheng Sang? They only knew Cheng Lian, the daughter of Old Master Cheng.

Cheng Lian's child is a legitimate child and the only heir to the Cheng family.

Cheng Lian lowered her eyes, slowly stroked the purse that she had cut into pieces, and said calmly: "The Cheng family belongs to you and your sister. No one can take away your things."

Cheng Qingxue hummed.

"Does your face still hurt?" Cheng Lian asked.

"It hurts." Cheng Qingxue said coquettishly.

"Come here and let me see you."

"Mother, you actually said I'm ugly, but it's obviously that fake one who's ugly! I think you're really crazy——"

When she said the last word, she received Cheng Lian's stern look.

She shut up angrily: "I know, I won't say anything bad about Auntie anymore. You are just too kind. Auntie has hurt you so many times, but you never bothered with her and even respected her as your own sister."

Cheng Lian brought the golden wound medicine over: "This is what I should do. She is my sister after all."

Cheng Qingxue groaned, "If my sister treats me like this, I will ignore her!"

Cheng Lian smiled and said, "Your sister wouldn't do this to you. You two came from the same mother."

"That's right, sister loves me the most! Hiss—it hurts!" Cheng Qingxue burst into tears.

Cheng Lian put down the medicine and sighed, "It's too swollen. Go get some medicine from Uncle Han and bring the material I bought for your sister."

"knew."

Cheng Qingxue put on a veil and went out.

Mei Ji followed her silently, and Wu Hu nestled in Mei Ji's arms.

Meiji’s arms are also sweet and soft!

"He's not at Cheng's house."

Mei Ji muttered to herself and followed him using her lightness skills.

The carriage did not go far before it turned into an alley.

It was dark there, and the air smelled of dyes and spices.

After getting off the carriage, Cheng Qingxue entered one of the dyeing workshops.

Mei Ji climbed over the eaves and walls and came to a roof.

She gently lifted a tile and the voices of a man and a woman talking inside came out.

The woman said, "The Saint is very disappointed in you for not being able to bring back the Snowland Gastrodia this time."

Uncle Han said with great fear and trepidation, "Please forgive me, Saint."

The woman's voice was cold: "If the Second Miss hadn't taken some of the blame for you, you should have known your fate."

Uncle Han cupped his hands: "Yes."

The woman added: "The Saint said that the plan must be advanced."

"Why?" Uncle Han was puzzled.

The woman said with a complicated expression: "That person is about to wake up."

Meiji scratched her head.

Who is that person?  Today I updated 5,500 words in total. The word count is okay, but it was a headache. It took me a long time to write it. Please forgive me for being late. In addition, you can vote with your monthly tickets. Let's try to break 3,000.
