Chapter 850: Teaching a Concubine’s Daughter a Lesson
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The daughters of the Cheng family did not marry outsiders. They all found live-in sons-in-law at home.
If Miss Cheng was not crazy, she should be the current head of the family.
Unfortunately, she had gone crazy. Her daughter had also died, and her lineage had been completely severed. Only then did it come to Cheng Lian and her daughter.
“The sweet potato is ready.” Su Xiaoxiao picked up a steaming sweet potato with a pair of tongs and placed it on the big leaf in front of Mei Ji.
The leaves were clean. Mei Ji had washed them.
The sweet potato was very hot, but Mei Ji couldn’t wait anymore. As she blew with her mouth, she opened it with her hand.
After eating, Mei Ji burped while Su Xiaoxiao was full.
Mei Ji looked down at her round stomach. “I can’t take it anymore. I’ll feel uncomfortable lying like this. Let’s go out for a walk.”
“Okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao had no objections.
The two of them left the courtyard.
The bright moon in the sky scattered a cold light.
The two of them strolled along the quiet winding path. It was quiet all around. There was not even the sound of the wind.
“What kind of place did the Cheng family arrange for us? Ah, ah, ah!”
Mei Ji called out a few times emotionlessly.
Indeed, no one heard it.
It was too remote.
“There’s a lotus pond over there. Let’s take a walk.”
It was mainly because the water of the lotus pond reflected a little moonlight. It was not so dark.
The two of them walked along the lotus pond.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the faint light opposite the lotus pond and asked, “Is there anyone there?”
Mei Ji glanced in the direction she was looking. “You mean that courtyard? It’s
Miss Cheng’s courtyard.”
The Miss Cheng she was talking about was Old Master Cheng’s legitimate daughter, Cheng Sang, and Xie Yunhe’s first wife.
Mei Ji said, “Although it’s on the other side, it’s actually quite far. It’ll take a while to circle around.”
During the day, Mei Ji had already walked through the Cheng family and had a rough idea of the map.
“It’s quite remote,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“That’s true,” Mei Ji agreed. “Sigh, she’s crazy. How can the Cheng family let a lunatic live in a crowded place? Generally speaking, the excuse is to recuperate.
In fact, they think she’s embarrassing herself.”
Mei Ji had seen many such melodramatic things.
Miss Cheng was really pitiful. After her child died, she became crazy. Even the family business fell into the hands of her husband and concubine sister. She was alone and would probably be like this for the rest of her life.
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze. ‘Go back. It’s getting late.”
The two of them returned to the courtyard and lay down in their rooms.
Su Xiaoxiao had just closed her eyes and entered the pharmacy.
Ever since the pharmacy was emptied during the war, there had been no reaction for a while.
This time, it was finally time to reward her again.
However, the reward was only a bag of bird food and a bag of… organic fertilizer.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She could understand giving bird food. She had to feed Wuhu. What did it mean to give fertilizer? She didn’t grow vegetables…
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was indescribable. “You should have given this to me in the countryside.”
Forget it. She was already here.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the shelf and took three jars of milk powder.
She also wanted to give Wei Xiyue a jar, but Wei Xiyue did not like it.
The next day, Mei Ji grabbed four big and fat pigeons from somewhere and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao. “I want to eat roasted pigeons today.”
Su Xiaoxiao went to prepare the pigeons.
The pigeons she roasted were crispy, fragrant, and fat. She sprinkled some green onions that Mei Ji had taken from the kitchen. It was simply too fatty.
Mei Ji gave the fattest and largest one to Su Xiaoxiao. “You have to eat for two. Eat more.”
“Okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to eat Mei Ji’s pigeon when she heard a delicate shout from outside the house. “Go in and find them!”
The two servants kicked open the closed courtyard door and barged in without a word.
They could smell the fragrance from afar, but when they saw that it was two unfamiliar women roasting something, they could not help but be shocked.
They looked at the barbecue in their hands and then at the pigeon fur that had fallen to the ground. They instantly understood.
One of them shouted, “You ate Second Miss’s pigeons!”
The other person shouted out the door, “Second Miss! I found them!”
Cheng Qingxue walked in with an unkind expression. The first servant pointed at the pigeon fur on the ground. “Second Miss, look!”
Cheng Qingxue was furious. “Okay, you ate my pigeons!”
The two of them, who had been caught, continued to eat the pigeon calmly.
Cheng Qingxue was even angrier. “Which room are you from?”
Were they servants?
Well, Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Jits clothes were too simple. They were indeed not as
good as the materials worn by the Cheng family’s servants.
A maidservant walked forward and whispered into Cheng Qingxue’s ear.
Cheng Qingxue frowned. “Are you the two little liars who came yesterday?”
Su Xiaoxiao changed her appearance, so Cheng Qingxue didn’t recognize her.
As for Mei Ji, she didn’t disguise herself and washed the dust off her face.
She turned to look at Cheng Qingxue.
That charming face instantly stunned everyone present.
Mei Ji’s charm was mostly sealed by her clothes, but her face was also beautiful, and her eyes were even more seductive. How could these people resist?
The servants swallowed in unison.
Cheng Qingxue was also a little surprised.
Mei Ji said coldly, “I’ll count to three. Get out. Don’t disturb my Miss’s meal! ”
What an arrogant maidservant!
However… she was really a beautiful maidservant.
Even in front of a stunning beauty like Second Miss, she was not inferior at all.
No, it should be said that she was more beautiful than Second Miss…
If Su Xiaoxiao knew what these people were thinking, she would definitely tell them that her Second Miss had dressed up meticulously and that Mei Ji was only wearing a piece of tattered linen.
Cheng Qingxue hated people who were prettier than her, except for her sister.
Moreover, these two were liars who had come to the Cheng family to cause trouble.
She could take this opportunity to chase them out of the Cheng family!
Cheng Qingxue pointed the whip in her hand forward. “You actually dare to eat my pigeon? Someone! Beat them out!”
The two servants immediately rushed over.
Su Xiaoxiao calmly ate the roasted pigeon without looking up.
“Can I attack now?” Mei Ji came over and asked.
“Sure,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Mei Ji curled her lips and smiled. She slapped her palm down and used her internal energy to shake up two pigeon feathers.
Then, she waved her hand and the feather shot towards the two of them like an arrow.
The two of them screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
Mei Ji snorted and continued to eat the roasted pigeon.
Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills were really good. She wanted to eat roasted mutton for the next meal.
This scene stunned everyone.
Not only was this maidservant beautiful, but she was also so skilled!
Cheng Qingxue frowned and looked at the servants who had fallen to the ground.
She had beaten them up with just two feathers… Was she really a maidservant from town?
She narrowed her eyes and whipped toward Mei Ji’s face when she was unprepared!
