Manager Cui went to report to Xie Yunhe and told him exactly what Su Xiaoxiao had said, including her dislike and impatience towards the children.

As for the matter of his mishearing, he didn't mention it.

Otherwise, the master might think that he is deaf and blind and dare not entrust him with important tasks anymore.

Xie Yunhe didn't feel too surprised.

Su Xiaoxiao is always angry with everyone, so it's unrealistic to expect her to truly love a few children she has never met.

That’s the kind of reaction that’s real.

"Master, are we really going to take the blame for this?"

Xie Yunhe said: "The people behind the scenes are coming for the Saint Girl. Rather than letting them lead a few children to spread rumors everywhere, it is better to detain the children in the mansion to avoid causing more trouble."

Manager Cui thought about it and realized that this was the case.

"I just don't understand. Where did they come up with this idea? And they even found triplets?"

Because triplets were so rare, the news spread even faster and spread throughout the capital almost overnight.

Xie Yunhe asked: "Have you asked those children? Who taught them to call mother?"

Manager Cui said, "We asked them, but they didn't know whether they didn't understand or were frightened. They wouldn't say anything. Children this young are all taught by others, so if we really asked them to explain, they wouldn't be able to explain clearly. However, if we detained them, the person behind the scenes might not be able to sit still and come to look for them."

Xie Yunhe nodded.

Manager Cui added: "The Ji family is really unscrupulous."

Until now, the saint still believes that the children were born by the Ji family.

It’s no wonder that the Ji family took the blame. After all, the assassin who tried to assassinate Wei Xu that night was indeed a killer from the Ji family.

Ji family.

Elder Ji went back home.

She is the niece of Old Master Ji.

She looked at her uncle who was sitting in the main seat and said, "I heard that those children found the Cheng family. I said they were the Saint's biological children, but your uncle still doesn't believe it?"

Old Master Ji said, "The news just came out from the Cheng family is that the triplets are not the Saint's flesh and blood, but Cheng Su's step-sons."

Elder Ji frowned: "Stepson?"

Old Master Ji told the news he had heard: "The girl was engaged to someone in the countryside. The other party was a widower with three children. They were about to get married, but the girl came to the Cheng family to seek her favor. It seemed that she did not intend to accept the marriage and deliberately ran away. Her fiancé was unwilling to accept it, so he brought the children to the capital."

"impossible!"

Elder Ji said sternly, "Our people left a note before they died. It clearly stated that there was a man and four children hidden in Cheng Qingyao's secret room. Cheng Qingyao and Cheng Su had a hostile relationship. How could she help Cheng Su hide several stepchildren? The children are Cheng Qingyao's! She must have forced that girl to acknowledge the children in order to preserve her own reputation!"

Old Master Ji waved his hand and said, "The most important thing now is not those children, but the master hidden in the secret room by the Saint. Is his martial arts really that powerful?"

Elder Ji said calmly: "The Saint was injured by him, what do you think, uncle?"

Old Master Ji was shocked: "How could he hurt the Saint Girl..."

The Saint's martial arts skills are not inferior to those puppet masters in the Saint's Palace, and there are not many people in the whole king who can hurt her.

Old Master Ji was somewhat reluctant to kill him.

Elder Ji knew what he was planning as soon as he saw his expression.

She laughed sarcastically: "Uncle, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. He will not be used by the Ji family. Only the Saint can control the Saint's puppet, and he will never betray her!"

…

The three little ones finally came to their mother and were so excited that they fell asleep in the late night.

Cheng Sang is no less impressive.

As expected, the old man and three children all got up late the next day.

Meiji is eating roasted yam eggs.

Su Xiaoxiao sat in front of the dressing table and changed her appearance.

"Grandma, did you see my face?" Su Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.

When Cheng Sang went to see her yesterday, she was asleep and had not changed her appearance.

Meiji recalled: "Probably not. Her attention was all on the three children. She didn't have time to look at you. You fell out of favor."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Speaking of which, the appearance of three children seems to have stabilized Cheng Sang's condition a lot.

Last night, when Cheng Sang was watching Da Hu and the others doing somersaults on the bed, he suddenly said, "Wei Wei also loves to do somersaults in the belly."

This was the first time Cheng Sang recalled her pregnancy with a smile.

According to Uncle Quan, the death of her child was such a huge blow to her that she would become ill even when she remembered being pregnant.

Cheng Sang's condition is improving visibly. Perhaps it won't be long before Cheng Sang recovers.

Su Xiaoxiao went to make medicine for Cheng Sang and also made some snacks.

The three little ones woke up and went to the small kitchen to find their mother.

They stuck themselves on their mother's body and were as satisfied as three living treasures.

After breakfast, Meiji took them to play in the small garden.

Cheng Qingxue has locked herself in her room since she was eliminated, and it has been three days.

In order to make her daughter happy, Cheng Lianhua spent a lot of money to buy a golden dress from the best embroidery shop in southern Xinjiang.

Covered over the skirt, the whole person is glowing with beauty, like a fairy in a fantasy world.

Anyone who gets such beautiful clothes will want to show them off.

Cheng Qingxue is no exception.

Cheng Lian helped her make an appointment with a few friends and went for an outing in the suburbs later.

Cheng Qingxue left the yard happily.

I could have just taken the carriage.

But she just wanted to show off in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the gate of Cheng Sang's yard, a pile of mud flew towards her and landed squarely on the hem of her golden dress.

She froze up and roared, "Which dog slave is this who doesn't care about his life?"

The three little ones who were playing in the mud looked up blankly.

Xiaohu accidentally dropped the item, and Dahu originally planned to take his brother over to apologize.

But Cheng Qingxue actually called her brother a dog slave.

Xiaohu didn't understand.

But Da Hu knew that these words were not good things.

Su Xiaoxiao came out of the small kitchen and looked at Cheng Qingxue indifferently: "You like to bark so much, are you a dog?"

"You--" Cheng Qingxue came to show off in front of her, but unexpectedly, she failed to show off and was hit by mud instead.

Now even she herself felt extremely embarrassed.

She looked at the triplets that had appeared inexplicably in the yard, and was shocked and angry: "Where did these wild kids come from? Don't you know that you are not allowed to have children in the mansion?"

In order not to irritate Cheng Sang, Xie Yunhe once issued an order that no children were allowed to be brought into the mansion, even those born at home.

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Qingxue had been locked in her room and had no idea that the child had come to recognize his mother.

At this time, Manager Pang came to find Cheng Qingxue.

"Second Miss, you are here, the carriage is ready."

Cheng Qingxue said angrily: "Why prepare a carriage! How can I go out like this? What's wrong with these wild kids? Who allowed them to enter the mansion? Get them out right away!"

Manager Pang's face changed: "Second Miss, you can't do that!"

Cheng Qingxue pointed at the hem of her skirt and said, "They made my clothes dirty!"

Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms and said, "Yes, he is so capable of causing trouble. Let your Saint take the child back immediately!"

When Manager Pang heard that she wanted to send the child back to the saint, he panicked.

What should we do if the rumor that we finally suppressed gets spread out again?

Manager Pang tried every possible means to persuade Cheng Qingxue, almost kneeling down to her, and finally coaxed Cheng Qingxue away.

…

Afternoon.

The saint sat in front of her dressing table.

My forehead is finally not as swollen anymore. There is still a little bit, but it can be barely covered with Huasheng.

Not attending the blessing ceremony yesterday had some impact on her.

It just so happened that the day to offer medicinal wine to the King of Southern Xinjiang was approaching.

In the past, Eunuch Jin would go to the Holy Maiden Temple to get it.

This time she planned to deliver it to the King of Southern Xinjiang personally, and at the same time clarify the rumors outside to the King of Southern Xinjiang.

Her medicinal wine is a genuine elixir that can prolong life. It is not the so-called elixir made from cinnabar by those sorcerers out there, which seems to strengthen the body but is actually poisonous.

Xie Yunhe was also drinking the medicinal wine she made, so there should be extra at home.

The saint asked the maid to go to Xie Yunhe to get a pot and put it on the carriage.

The maid took the order and left.

The saint's carriage was of the standard for royal travel and was more spacious and luxurious than the palace's carriage.

The servants in the mansion all knew not to approach easily.

The three little ones had just arrived and were not aware of this rule.

They had enough of playing in the mud and played hide-and-seek with Meiji.

This round, Meiji comes looking for them and they hide.

They climbed into the carriage and hid.

The carriage was spacious and bright, with soft animal skins covering the floor.

"Wow."

The tiger cub rolled around on the animal hide.

It was so comfortable! Erhu and Dahu also rolled away.

The three little balls rolled around, completely forgetting that they were playing hide-and-seek.

Erhu climbed onto the soft couch and jumped down.

Bang! He knocked over the table.

The wine jug on the table was placed next to the window. When he hit it, it shook violently and fell out of the window.

Da Hu said, "Something fell."

The three little ones climbed onto the table, lay down by the window and looked down.

He got off the carriage again and squatted down to look at the pot that had spilled on the ground.

"What is this?" Xiaohu asked.

The wine jugs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are tall and thin, while the wine jugs of Southern Xinjiang are round and flat.

Da Hu thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a chamber pot!"

The child couldn't understand the material and pattern of the vessel. He only remembered that there was a chamber pot at home, which looked similar to this one.

The chamber pot is for urine, Xiaohu understands.

He pointed to the water stain on the grass and said, "I peed."

Not to mention, the color of the medicinal wine is clear yellow, and it does look a bit like it.

The three of them had just caused trouble by soiling someone's clothes, and now they had knocked over someone's chamber pot.

The three of them felt a little guilty.

Dahu came up with a good idea.

He lifted the chamber pot and pointed it at Xiaohu: "Urine."

Xiaohu shook his head: "Xiaofu didn't pee."

Erhu took off the small water bag from his waist and said, "Here you go."

Xiaohu drank it up with a gulp.

After a while, he blinked and said in a milky voice, "I have to pee."

With the help of Dahu and Erhu, Xiaohu urinated into the "chamber pot" without leaking a drop.

Dahu carefully put the "chamber pot" back.

But it's so strange, their chamber pots are all placed on the floor, but this family insisted on putting it on the table.

No wonder it spilled.

Dahu kindly put the chamber pot on the ground.

The saint is ready to go out.

The maid came over first and checked the carriage.

"Huh? Who put the wine jug on the ground?"

She put the jug back on the table.

She had no doubt that someone had tampered with the medicinal wine.

This kind of pot is made of silver. If someone had poisoned it, the pot would have changed color long ago.

Sorry, it's even later.

I changed doctors last time. He probably didn’t understand my condition very well. Seeing that I spoke cheerfully, he thought I was better and asked me to stop taking one of my medicines. Actually, I haven’t been feeling well these past few days. I feel very sad. I couldn’t stop crying while typing this just now.

That’s all I can write today.
