“Qingyao!” Cheng Lian stopped her.
How could she watch her precious daughter kneel to a little girl who was nothing?
Cheng Lian gritted her teeth and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “The Saintess has never even knelt before the King of the Southern Wilderness. Do you think your status is more noble than the King of the Southern Wilderness?”
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “Don’t talk nonsense with me. She agreed herself. If you wanted to object, why didn’t you say so back then? So you were bullying me. It’s fine if you don’t kneel today! Let me put it this way. The Cheng family can either choose to have her or me!”
The Cheng family could do without the Saintess, but the Cheng family could not do without its Young Master.
Especially at Cheng Sang’s age, it was already impossible for her to give birth to a second descendant.
Even the elders and uncles who had been bribed by Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe
fall
There were some things they could do and some things they could not. It would make people criticize them.
The Saintess’s knees, which hadnt even knelt to the King of the Southern Wilderness, finally knelt in front of Su Xiaoxiao in humiliation. Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her and said clearly, “Kowtow.”
The Saintess was wearing a bamboo hat that covered her face.
Her fingers were almost broken. She endured the huge humiliation and kowtowed to Su Xiaoxiao.
Everyone in the flower hall was stunned. Their surprise was no less than their response to the result of Su Xiaoxiao’s verification.
This was a high and mighty Saintess who had never been slighted by anyone. Tonight, she was actually forced to kowtow by the little girl.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “There are two more.”
She had already lost her face. Hesitating would only make her look like a sore loser.
The Saintess coldly madethe remaining two kowtows.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You haven’t apologized.”
The Saintess’s palm was already bleeding from pinching. She squeezed out a few cold words from between her teeth. “I shouldn’t have doubted you. It’s my fault.”
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
She could even endure this. She was a ruthless person.
After encountering the Saintess’s martial arts, Su Xiaoxiao also saw how powerful the Saintess was.
If Zhao Kangning had half the temperament of the Saintess back then, she would not have been able to extort so much gold and silver.
After the Saintess kowtowed, she flicked her sleeve and left without looking back.
Cheng Lian couldn’t stay any longer. Her eyes were red as she walked out of the reception hall with the help of the maidservant.
Xie Yunhe stayed.
He sized up Su Xiaoxiao with a deep and complicated gaze.
He was the least talkative tonight, but his emotions fluctuated the most.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed his every micro-expression.
It seemed that her identity had been a huge blow to him.
That was true. If the real Young Master returned, what would be the reason for his existence?
His years of planning were probably going to fail.
Cheng Lian was easy to manipulate because Cheng Lian’s heart was filled with him.
Cheng Sang was different. In Cheng Sang’s heart, she might have had a husband-and-wife relationship with him, but Cheng Sang would never forget her status as the head of the family for a man.
This was probably why they had driven Cheng Sang crazy back then.
Indeed, they should have driven her crazy.
Su Xiaoxiao increasingly felt that Cheng Sang’s stillbirth was a conspiracy.
Old Master Cheng must have sensed something, and this was why he reminded Cheng Sang not to hand over the family head’s token before he died,.
Next, Uncle Quan led Su Xiaoxiao to acknowledge the elders in the family.
Some of the loyalists of Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe had already left.
Some were fence sitters who didn’t offend either side and exchanged pleasantries with Su Xiaoxiao.
The rest were Cheng Rui and the others. They really hoped that Cheng Sang would do well.
They told Su Xiaoxiao a lot about the clan, and shelistened seriously and
When everyone saw her dissing the Saintess just now, they were a little worried that she was not easy to get along with.
After chatting in private, they realized that she was a knowledgeable young lady and could not help but like her a little more.
Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Quan told the elders and uncles that Young Miss had yet to eat and would catch up another day.
After leaving the reception hall, Su Xiaoxiao said, “Uncle Quan, I’ve eaten.”
Uncle Quan smiled and said, “I know, but it must be hard for Young Miss to face so many people alone the first time we met.”
Su Xiaoxiao was moved.
She suddenly understood why Cheng Sang still remembered that Uncle Quan was someone she could trust and entrust.
He had loyalty engraved in his bones.
Cheng Rui and Cheng Rong’an also came out.
Cheng Rong’an held the folding fan in his hand and patted Cheng Rui’s arm.
“Brother, you’ve made it. I envy you.”
Cheng Rong’an, Cheng Rui, and Cheng Fu were of the same generation.
The difference was that Cheng Fu was Cheng Lian’s trusted aide, and Cheng
Rong’an was a fence sitter..
