She is not aggrieved.
Chunchun was the one who made her cry.
Ever since that little liar came to the Cheng family, she has not had a comfortable day.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just one place higher than you? There are still two rounds to go, she can't beat you."
Cheng Lian comforted her daughter perfunctorily.
To be honest, she wasn't in a very good mood either.
The news that she had been demoted to a maid had spread quickly in the mansion. The servants did not dare to laugh at her openly, but the way they looked at her changed.
Not only that, that bastard Quan Youcai blocked the door and demanded the key to the storehouse, refusing to let her enter the house unless she got it.
She did ask someone to pull Quan Youcai away, but the new actor was so powerful that he knocked down all her guards.
She went to find Xie Yunhe again.
Xie Yunhe said, "Since your sister wants it, give it to her."
This is the man I have loved wholeheartedly all my life.
He had treated Cheng Sang the same way before, and now it was his turn.
Cheng Lian's heart was bleeding. She felt deeply betrayed, even though Xie Yunhe hadn't done anything yet.
But sometimes, it is this inaction that is even more disappointing and heartbreaking.
Cheng Lian was in a state of confusion at the moment. On the one hand, she was indifferent to Xie Yunhe. On the other hand, she didn't want everything she had worked so hard for to be taken away by Cheng Sang. She really didn't have the time to deal with her daughter.
"Just be patient for two more days. With your sister holding her back, she won't be able to turn over. When you become a saint, your father will understand that we are the ones he can really rely on."
This may be useful to the saint, but Cheng Qingxue, who has been spoiled since childhood, will not listen to it. Cheng Qingxue refused to give in: "I don't care! I hate her! I won't let her ride on my head! Didn't you hear how she humiliated me at the door just now? She is a little liar who cheated the old lady and took away the family master's order. Now she cheated and took my first place! I can't swallow this breath!"
Cheng Lian said in a distracted manner: "Stop it! With your sister watching over you, the position of Saint Girl will definitely be yours. Why bother to fight for the first place in the palace selection?"
Cheng Qingxue was stunned by Cheng Lian's scolding: "Mom, are you mean to me?"
The servants dared not utter a word.
The lady has always been good-tempered and speaks softly to everyone, especially to the second young lady, whom she loves almost to the core.
But ever since that little girl came to the Cheng family, the lady has become more and more easily irritated.
Cheng Lian also realized her own gaffe, smiled, patted her daughter's hand and said, "Mom is a little tired today. Didn't you take exams all day? Go back and rest early. I'll send someone to tell your sister and ask her to think of a solution. How do you think?"
These words finally comforted Cheng Qingxue.
She pouted and said, "Well, mother, you should rest early too."
After Cheng Qingxue left, Cheng Lian did not immediately send anyone to the Saint Maiden Hall, but called her trusted maid: "Go and see if the master has returned?"
It’s not that Cheng Lian doesn’t care about her daughter’s feelings, but in her opinion, her daughter’s becoming a saint is a sure thing and she doesn’t need to worry about it at all.
On the contrary, the situation on the Cheng family's side is not optimistic.
She had to find a way to get the family head's order back.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to Cheng Sang's yard and learned about her grades from Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quan had told Cheng Sang a long time ago.
Cheng Sang smiled and said, "Weiwei is amazing!"
Su Xiaoxiao sat down next to her on the newly built swing: "How was your day at home, mother?"
Cheng Sang whispered, "I miss Weiwei."
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Did you do anything else when you thought about me?"
Cheng Sang rolled his eyes and answered honestly, "Playing cards."
When Yuchi Xiu is mentioned, his face turns extremely dark.
It was unbelievable that he, the second-ranked killer on the killer list, could not defeat a little crazy woman.
He lost all his monthly allowance again and had to borrow ten taels from Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quan is also a black-hearted person!
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Along with Uncle Quan and Yuchi Xiu, who is the other one?"
The cook came over with a plate of freshly cooked dim sum and smiled shyly, "It's my servant."
Su Xiaoxiao had a good impression of the cook. Others always pointed fingers at Cheng Sang and pretended to obey them, but the cook didn't get involved and just honestly worked in the small kitchen to make fire.
"Don't worry young lady, I won't say a word."
This shows that Cheng Sang is pretending to be recovered.
Since Uncle Quan agreed to let her come, he must have checked her background and found that she can be trusted.
"From now on, we won't take the food from the public kitchen in the yard. We'll only eat what Uncle Quan buys from outside."
"yes!"
Although the cook didn't understand why the young lady gave such an order, she still agreed solemnly.
"Mom, don't eat anything given to you by anyone other than us, remember that."
"Remember that."
Cheng Lianming cannot win the fight, so she will soon resort to underhanded tactics. With Yuchi Xiu around, she doesn't have to worry about assassination, but she still has to be on guard against poisoning.
"How could Cheng Lian be so brave?" Mei Ji asked Su Xiaoxiao after entering the room.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "When a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall. If she doesn't take action now, the power in her hands will soon be taken away. The key is that Xie Yunhe is not on her side."
When Mei Ji heard this, she suddenly realized, "No wonder when you first asked Cheng Sang to act, you only slapped Cheng Lian, but didn't completely break up with Xie Yunhe. You're not worried that Cheng Sang can't do it, you want to sow discord between Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Xie Yunhe only wants to get the Cheng family. It's not hard to guess whoever can give him the Cheng family will be the one he captures."
Mei Ji was very pleased and said, "Isn't Cheng Lian really miserable? She has been really wasting her time for the past thirty years."
Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and said, "This is called reaping the fruits of one's own actions."
When Xie Yunhe came back from outside and just passed by the small garden, he met Cheng Lian unexpectedly.
Cheng Lian dismissed the servants and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Xie Yunhe frowned slightly: "It's so late, why don't you go to rest?"
Cheng Lian asked aggrievedly: "Are you avoiding me?"
Xie Yunhe said: "What nonsense are you talking about? There have been a lot of things happening in the clan recently..."
Cheng Lian looked at her deeply: "You used to come over no matter how busy you were, but recently you've been going to your sister's place every day, and you haven't taken the initiative to come to see me and Qingxue for several days."
Xie Yunhe said: "Qingxue wants to be selected, I don't want to disturb her."
Cheng Lian smiled bitterly: "Doesn't that girl need the Holy Selection? Aren't you afraid of disturbing her? Are you planning to go back to your sister again?"
"If you think so, I can't help it."
After Xie Yunhe said this, he passed by her.
"Xie Yunhe!"
Cheng Lian called out to him, her tone unusually fierce.
"Don't you see? My sister is trying to sow discord between you and me. Do you think she will really forgive you? She has hated me since she was a child, but you married me. She wants to cut you into pieces!"
"Are you finished?" Xie Yunhe was very calm.
Cheng Lian looked at his extremely cold eyes, which were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.
Time flies, it’s New Year’s Eve.
I filled the hole in March. Thinking back to the first time Xiaoxiao saw Brother Guang Ting, and how she complained that Brother Ting's cranes were not good-looking, it seems like it happened just yesterday.
