There have been too many rumors in the royal capital recently, saying that Cheng Sang has woken up, that Cheng Lian has fallen out of favor, and even worse, some are saying that Cheng Lian is going to be expelled from the Cheng family.
However, since no one had seen it with their own eyes, everyone just listened to it for fun but did not dare to believe it completely.
After seeing it today, I realized that the rumors are true.
The first wife and the second wife really had a falling out.
wrong.
Didn’t you hear how that girl called Cheng Lian just now?
A maidservant!
How can a maidservant be considered a second wife?
Many people came to the Holy Election today. In addition to the candidates, people from the four major families, eight major tribes, and even the royal family of Southern Xinjiang came.
Cheng Lian's original plan was to save her face in public, but she never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and make her lose face.
If the little quarrels between Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Qingxue could barely be regarded as the tit-for-tat of little girls, then at this time Su Xiaoxiao showed no mercy to Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian, which was torn off the last piece of fig leaf.
As the saying goes, don’t air your dirty laundry in public, but that depends on what kind of dirty laundry it is.
Cheng Sang has been crazy and has been looked down upon, ridiculed and despised for many years. It is time for some people to taste the humiliation that Cheng Sang has experienced.
Cheng Lian clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her face turning blue and red.
Xie Yunhe walked in: "Stop messing around, it's time to go in."
Su Xiaoxiao blocked his way: "I should go in, but Grandpa, you should go back first. I told you that no one from the Cheng family can be allowed in except me. Unless you are not the son-in-law of the Cheng family."
The fact that she was a maidservant was shocking enough, but she actually added the term "son-in-law who lives with the family". She really wanted to shock people with her words.
Xie Yunhe clenched his fist tightly: "I am your grandfather!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "If you are not my grandfather, you can't even enter the gate of the Saint Maiden Palace!"
Cheng Lian said bitterly, "How can you talk to your elders like this?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said, "I'm talking to my grandpa, why is a concubine butting in?"
The crowd watching collectively erupted in anger.
This girl is so vicious.
The Holy Selection was the highlight, but everyone vaguely felt that the Cheng family's drama was even more exciting than the Holy Selection.
Seeing her parents being humiliated, Cheng Qingxue was furious. She pointed at Su Xiaoxiao's nose and said, "Don't go too far!"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If I really want to go too far, I should keep you out as well. Do you want to try?"
Cheng Qingxue choked.
She didn't believe that Su Xiaoxiao could stop her, but Cheng Lian no longer dared to gamble with her daughter's future.
She pulled Cheng Qingxue's sleeve and shook her head at her.
The most important thing is to become a saint.
The rest doesn't matter, these humiliations are only temporary.
Once the position of the Saint is obtained, the title of the head of the Cheng family will sooner or later belong to them.
Cheng Qingxue understood what her mother meant. She glared at Su Xiaoxiao and went in angrily.
No one can compete with her for the position of Saint today! Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe were slapped in the face, but in the end they failed to get what they wanted.
To the southeast of the Holy Maiden Temple, there is a brick and stone altar that requires climbing up steps. The base is square, and the altar surface on the steps is round, implying the idea that the sky is round and the earth is square.
There were awnings and seats on the north and south sides of the altar.
To the south are the seats of the Southern Xinjiang royal family, the four major families, and the eight major tribes; to the north are the seats of the elders and envoys of the Holy Maiden Hall.
Twenty candidates were waiting in line according to their scores at the entrance of the steps below the altar.
Standing first was Yin Xiaodie.
Su Xiaoxiao ranked eleventh in the second round.
As for Cheng Qingxue, Ji Roushu and Yue Qinghuan, they ranked second, fourth and sixth respectively.
Su Xiaoxiao has learned a lot about the situation in Southern Xinjiang from Uncle Quan these days. Southern Xinjiang was originally a small country composed of dozens of tribes. The large tribes annexed the small tribes, and eventually eight powerful forces were formed.
Most of the military power in southern Xinjiang is in the hands of the eight major tribes.
The four major families are the financial backers behind the eight tribes.
This may sound unbelievable, but it is the real southern Xinjiang.
If the King of Southern Xinjiang wants to send troops, he must get the support of the eight major tribes.
If the eight tribes want to go to war, they have to rely on the four major families to provide military pay.
It seems that if we want to stop the ambition of the King of Southern Xinjiang, we can perhaps start with the four major families.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the seats to the south.
Because of the curtain, I couldn't see the people inside clearly. I could only tell which one was the Yin family, the Ji family, and the Yue family from the signs hanging on the awning.
The Cheng family's seat was empty.
In addition, there is an extremely luxurious jade bead curtain in the center, which should be the seat of the royal family of Southern Xinjiang.
Princess Hui'an said that the envoys from Southern Xinjiang proposed marriage to the Great Zhou, but it was not known which prince they were asking for, whether it was the eldest legitimate prince or the princes born to one of the favorite concubines.
On the other side, Elder Lou also took a handsome young man with a jade-faced appearance and sat in the northern seats.
The eyes of several elders fell on Su Xuan's handsome face, and they were all stunned for a moment.
Elder Ji hesitated and said, "Elder Lou, this is..."
Elder Lou said in an old voice, "Ah, one of my nephews. The one behind him is his little servant."
Su Xuan has a scholarly temperament, elegant and gentle. As for the little book boy, he looks ordinary, but has a pair of lively eyes.
Elder Ji couldn't help but joked, "When did you have such a handsome nephew? I've never heard you talk about him. You've always kept him hidden. Are you afraid that when he comes to the capital, the daughters of the rich will snatch him away to be their son-in-law?"
Elder Lou smiled and glanced at Su Xuan: It would be better if you really snatch it away, so that he won’t cause trouble for me all the time.
"Greetings, elders." Su Xuan bowed.
Although the Saint Maiden Hall was not interested in men, who would not like such a gentle and knowledgeable junior? Several people nodded kindly.
"Please sit down." said Elder Lou.
Princess Hui'an sat down naturally.
Elder Lou: “…”
Su Xuan smiled: "He is my cousin. He became my book boy because his family fell into poverty. I am sorry to make you elders laugh at me."
Turns out he’s my cousin, no wonder he’s been spoiled.
The last round of competition happened to begin, and everyone's attention was focused on the altar.
There is a time limit for the Holy Bird to choose its master, only half an incense stick of time, for the Holy Bird to voluntarily fly down and stay on one's arm.
After walking around the altar once, the selection of the master is completed.
The sacred bird must not be fed during this period.
Su Xiaoxiao has confidence in Yin Xiaodie.
However, just as Yin Xiaodie was about to appear, something strange happened.
Yin Xiaodie suddenly covered her throat and fell to the ground in pain.
There was shock at the scene.
Master Yin and Yin Chongshan stood up immediately! Yin Chongshan opened the curtain and leaped to the altar with his Qinggong skills.
He knelt on the ground and picked up his daughter: "Xiaodie!"
Yin Xiaodie's face turned cyanotic, her lips turned black, and she was almost unable to breathe.
Su Xuan smiled quietly: "Double is in progress, can you vote for A Xuan with your monthly ticket? Remember to clear the ticket, don't waste it."
