Since Cheng Sang had stepped on the Saint's forehead and made it look like a birthday star, he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he could only send someone to the Saint's Palace to pass on the message:
She was injured and unable to preside over the blessing ceremony.
The saint actually had an idea in her mind, hoping that the Saint's Temple could postpone the blessing ceremony.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
Someone from the Holy Maiden Temple brought a message: let her recover from her injuries and not worry about the blessing ceremony, as Yin Xiaodie would preside over it.
The saint pressed her sore brows.
As soon as she pressed it, she hit the painful spot, which made her even more annoyed.
I thought I was upset enough from the continuous bad luck, but unexpectedly in the evening, a maid suddenly came in with a hurried look on her face.
"Saint! It's bad! Something terrible has happened!"
There was a flash of impatience in the saint's eyes: "What's the matter?"
The maid said anxiously, "Three children came to the door, saying... they wanted to find their mother!"
The Saint asked indifferently, "Is he the manor's child?"
The maid said stiffly, "No, Saint... they... seem to be looking for you."
…
The Cheng family has been quite busy these days.
A few days ago, a little girl came to the house to claim her relationship with Cheng Sang, saying that she was Cheng Sang's granddaughter.
Three little kids came today, each holding a small bundle in their arms, crying for their mother.
The three children are so beautiful, and they are triplets, which is very rare.
This resulted in twice as many people coming to watch the fun as last time.
The entrance was so crowded that the Cheng family's servants couldn't get in even if they wanted to.
"What a beautiful child!"
"Isn't it? She looks like a doll that walked out of a New Year picture!"
"If you ask me, it's the fairy boy under the throne of God!"
Not to mention the aunties and grandmas who were staring at them with their eyes fixed, even the grown men who were always proud of their status wanted to take the three adorable children home.
An aunt asked, "Does your mother live in this house?"
The three of them held their small bundles and nodded seriously.
The aunt asked again, "Who is your mother?"
The three of them didn't speak.
An old lady asked, "Is your last name Cheng?"
The three of them nodded seriously again.
At this time, a young woman spoke:
"Oh, I've seen them! Last time on Liuyang Street, they were yelling at the Saint!"
“Is this true or false?”
"It's truer than gold! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"I saw it too!" said a young man.
"Oh, the rumors are true. Did the saint really give birth to a child with a man?"
"No way? The Saint's Palace didn't punish the Saint..."
"But I heard that the Saint was not allowed to attend today's blessing ceremony. It was presided over by the new Saint. Do you think this is a punishment from the Saint's Palace?"
"Such a light punishment?"
"What do you know? This is the first step, and then..."
Everyone was talking at once, and the story became more and more outrageous.
The Saint was inside the gate, her ears hurt from hearing this! Manager Pang on the side said tremblingly: "There are too many people, we can't drive them away, you'd better not listen, I'll have someone close the door."
"Why close the door? I want to go out."
Su Xiaoxiao and Uncle Quan came over.
Uncle Quan looked at the door and said, "Why are there so many people outside? How can we get out?"
The young woman saw Su Xiaoxiao, pointed at her and said, "It's that girl! She was with the Saint last time! She also heard the children calling the Saint Mother! If you don't believe me, ask her!"
"Girl! Girl!"
The Cheng family's guards hurriedly stopped everyone.
Uncle Quan advised awkwardly, "Young Miss, let's stay out of the spotlight for now and go out another day."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled gloatingly: "It's not like I've been recognized as a wild mother, why should I hide from the limelight? Let's go!"
"Don't go!" the saint said coldly.
This girl doesn't get along with her, and once she goes out, she might say something nonsense.
If others spread it, it can be regarded as a rumor.
She is the young master of the Cheng family, and her words can be the final word.
The aunt shouted, "Is this the child of your Cheng family? Why don't you come out and identify him? How can you leave the child here?"
The three little ones: "Mom."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled at the Saint and said, "I called you mother, go pick up your son."
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Who are they calling mother? The saint, or that girl?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Manager Pang looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, and suddenly his eyes flashed: "Saint Lady, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
The saint took a few steps away from him.
"What's wrong?" the saint asked in a deep voice.
Manager Pang whispered, "Saintess, when they called me mother that day, was Cheng Su also there?"
The Saint asked, "So what?"
Manager Pang smiled: "That's easy. They didn't call you, they called Cheng Su!"
The Saint frowned and said, "You want to put the blame on her for the children? These children are three or four years old. Do you think Cheng Su could give birth to children this old? You should have some brains if you want to put the blame on her."
Manager Pang asked, "Who said it has to be a biological child?"
The Saint said, "She is unmarried, it is clearly written in the household registration."
Manager Pang said shrewdly, "You can get engaged. Your fiancé is a widower with children. We have completed the three letters and six ceremonies. The only thing left is the wedding ceremony."
The Saint paused and said, "She has to admit it herself, otherwise everyone will know that I am throwing dirty water on her."
Some rumors are easy to make, but some are difficult to make.
Manager Pang stroked his goatee and said, "We'll have to ask the master to step in now."
A quarter of an hour later.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunhe appeared in the Cheng family's flower hall.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "What did grandpa say just now? Asking me to recognize the child of the saint? It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming?"
Xie Yunhe said earnestly: "You are rude to me, but I won't hold it against you. When you first returned to the Cheng family, I did question you. I don't blame you for being angry. However, this matter concerns the reputation of the Cheng family. I hope you will put the overall situation first."
Su Xiaoxiao is about to vomit, so why don't you blame her? You said it as if you have the right to blame her.
This is not the focus today, let’s let him go for now.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Her reputation is important, but my reputation is not important? I have three children before I get married. How can I get married in the future if this gets out?"
Xie Yunhe said, "It's not your biological child. It's just a marriage arranged in the countryside. You should keep the child first. When the storm has passed, I will find a way to cancel this 'engagement' for you. As the young master of the Cheng family, there are many people who want to marry you. The engagement will not have much impact on you."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "So grandpa has already arranged everything for me. He didn't discuss it with me, he told me directly. What if I don't agree?"
Xie Yunhe said seriously: "I will ask Manager Pang to give you the key to the warehouse."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's already in hand."
Xie Yunhe looked at her and said, "I mean the farms. The Cheng family owns quite a few farms, and the income is not less than that of the mansion."
Su Xiaoxiao's expression relaxed a little.
But soon, he became cold and stern again.
Su Xiaoxiao snorted, "Just a few farms, and she wants me to take such a big blame for her. I won't do such a losing business. And don't say she is my aunt. She almost killed me on the street. I don't have such an aunt!"
Xie Yunhe did not argue that it was a misunderstanding. He was a master of negotiation and knew how to grasp the key points.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply and asked, "What do you want in exchange for agreeing?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile: "It's not difficult, just hand over the Cheng family's mineral vein!"
Three more updates. I'm not asking for a thousand, but at least 900. I just checked and I'm only two votes away.
