Hearing Mei Ji’s words, Su Xiaoxiao could not help but be surprised.
Was this Cheng Sang?
According to Shopkeeper Zheng’s investigation, Cheng Sang was a year younger than her live-in son-in-law, Xie Yunhe. She had just turned 50 this year, but her temples were already graying. She looked much older than Xie Yunhe.
Her half-sister, Cheng Lian, was only two years younger than her, but they seemed two generations apart.
Her clothes were wrinkled and her hair was in a mess. Leaves were still stuck to a strand of her hair. Her shoes had been stepped on somewhere and were covered in mud.
In comparison, Cheng Lian was dressed in luxurious clothes. She wore a exquisite silver crown on her head and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like the mistress of the family.
Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept across Cheng Lian’s face and then to the rest of the Cheng family. Everyone’s gaze was a little intriguing…
The moment the servants saw Cheng Sang come out, they fell silent.
Everyone knew that the person living in the courtyard was the real eldest daughter of the Cheng family. Unfortunately, she had been crazy for decades. Everyone no longer treated her as a proper master.
However, Xie Yunhe, who held the power of the Cheng family, was very protective of his first wife and did not allow anyone to slight her.
Therefore, no matter how much they looked down on her, they did not dare to offend her overtly.
After Cheng Sang came out, Xie Yunhe quickly strode forward and bent down to speak to her. “Madam, why are you out today? The sun is hot outside.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Lian.
How did this matriarch feel when she heard her husband call another woman Madam?
Cheng Lian lowered her eyes, making it impossible to tell her emotions. On the other hand, Cheng Qingxue, who was holding her arm, was a little unhappy.
True.
He was clearly her biological father, but he left her mother to call another woman Madam. Even if this woman was her biological aunt, she would still be a little unhappy.
Cheng Sang said slowly, “It’s so noisy outside.”
All the servants lowered their heads even more.
“Are they afraid of this First Madam?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Mei Ji softly.
Mei Ji explained to her in a low voice, “I just heard this morning that Xie Yunhe takes good care of this wife. Anyone who disrespects her in the residence will be beaten up and chased out by Xie Yunhe. The servants in the residence say that Old Master values friendship and righteousness. Old Master didn’t despise First Madam even after she went crazy for so many years. He treated her as usual. He’s a really responsible man—”
Mei Ji stuck out her tongue.
Xie Yunhe did not notice the situation here. Since Cheng Sang came out, he seemed to only have this person in his eyes.
He personally removed the fallen leave from Cheng Sang’s hair and straightened her wrinkled clothes. He looked at the servants behind Cheng Sang and said in a low voice, “Is this how you take care of Madam?”
The maidservant pushing the wheelchair and the servants at the courtyard door knelt down with a plop, all of them trembling
Cheng Lian tried to smooth things over. “Alright, it’s not like you don’t know Sister. How can these servants watch her when she causes trouble? They usually do their best to take care of Sister. This time, we’ll fine her a month’s salary.”
A fine was already the lightest punishment.
The few of them hurriedly kowtowed to Cheng Lian to thank her.
“Thank you, Madam!”
“Thank you, Madam!”
If not for Madam often pleading for them, they would have been chased out of the Cheng family countless times.
Cheng Sang was crazy. She could not remember many things, and many people did not know her.
She looked at Cheng Lian. “Yunhe, who is she?”
Cheng Lian smiled and walked forward. “Sister, I’m Lian’er.”
“Ah, Lian’er.” Cheng Sang looked at the sky and recalled such a person.
She looked at Cheng Qingxue again. ‘Who is she?”
Cheng Lian smiled gently. “She’s Qingxue.”
“Ah…” Cheng Sang nodded in realization with disdain. “She’s so ugly.”
Cheng Qingxue was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “Why do I feel that their conversation is strange? Why are they so secretive about their relationship?”
Mei Ji whispered, “Because Miss Cheng can’t take the stimulation, no one dares to tell her that Xie Yunhe married Cheng Lian and gave birth to two little bastards.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “How do we know that she can’t stand this stimulation if no one has ever told her?”
Mei Ji frowned. “Oh, right.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at them deeply.
It seemed that he had told her, but it attracted Miss Cheng’s intense reaction. From then on, Xie Yunhe had ordered the residence to keep quiet and not mention Cheng Lian and her daughters in front of Miss Cheng.
It seemed that Xie Yunhe treated Miss Cheng differently.
Su Xiaoxiao kept staring at Xie Yunhe and Cheng Sang and successfully attracted Cheng Sang’s attention.
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with her weathered eyes.
She was crazy, but there was no dust in her eyes. When she was serious, she was as pure as a child.
“Who is she?” Cheng Sang asked.
“She is…” Xie Yunhe hesitated.
For a moment, he did not know how to introduce her to Cheng Sang.
The servants did not dare to say anything.
Everyone knew that the stillbirth back then was a taboo for First Madam. They could not mention it even more than Cheng Lian and her daughters. If once it was mentioned, First Madam would definitely go crazy and faint.
Seeing this, Cheng Qingxue suddenly realized that her chance had come.
As long as they provoked Elder Mother, these two liars would be dead! Cheng Qingxue immediately said, “They’re liars!”
As she spoke, she pointed at Su Xiaoxiao. “It’s her. She lied that she’s your granddaughter and said that your daughter didn’t die back then. She even got married and had a child outside.”
Xie Yunhe shouted, “Shut up!”
Cheng Qingxue was shocked. Her father had never been so fierce to her.
Cheng Lian’s eyelashes trembled as she clenched her sleeves and turned to Cheng Qingxue. ‘What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and shut up!” Cheng Qingxue felt extremely aggrieved. “I’m telling the truth! They’re liars!
Elder Mother’s daughter is long dead! Where did…” She stopped in mid-sentence.
Because she saw Su Xiaoxiao walking towards Cheng Sang.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down in front of Cheng Sang and looked up at him.
“Grandmother.”
Cheng Sang, who was about to flare up, was suddenly stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao took off the bracelet on her wrist. “Grandmother, do you still remember this bracelet? Did you give it to my mother?”
Cheng Sang took the bracelet and muttered crazily, “It’s for Weiwei…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “So my mother’s name is Weiwei. What a good name.”
“Weiwei… Weiwei… Where’s Weiwei?” Cheng Sang’s gaze moved from the bracelet to Su Xiaoxiao’s face. She began to feel agitated.
“Where’s Weiwei? Where’s Weiwei?”
“Weiwei…”
“Weiwei…”
She began to look around, her eyes red with anxiety.
“Weiwei… Weiwei… Where did Weiwei go?”
Her chest heaved violently, and tears fell.
The despair of not being able to find the child made her collapse instantly.
She began to roar, scream, and shout her daughter’s name heartbreakingly.
Xie Yunhe went to caress her, but she pushed him away.
She had completely lost control of her emotions. Even Xie Yunhe was helpless.
Cheng Qingxue was frightened and quickly hid behind Cheng Lian.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed her hand. “Mother!”
Cheng Sang was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her steadily and called out softly, “Mother, I’m here.”
Cheng Sang looked at Su Xiaoxiao with tears in his eyes. “Weiwei?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yes, I’m Weiwei. Look, this is the bracelet you gave me. Do you still remember?”
Cheng Sang remembered the bracelet.
She asked aggrievedly, “Are you really Weiwei?”
Su Xiaoxiao gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief. “I am..”
