Chapter 889: Retribution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheng Qingxue came to Cheng Lian’s room with red eyes.
She was not aggrieved.
She was crying from anger.
Ever since that little liar came to the Cheng family, she had not had a comfortable day.
“Alright, alright. Isn’t it just a rank higher than you? There are still two rounds left. She won’t be able to defeat you.”
To be honest, she was not in a good mood.
The news that she had been demoted to a concubine maidservant had already spread throughout the residence. The servants did not dare to laugh at her on the surface, but the way they looked at her had changed.
Not only that, but that b.a.s.t.a.r.d had blocked the door and asked for the key to the storeroom. If she could not get it, she was not allowed to enter the residence.
She got someone to pull open the door, but the new actor was so powerful that he beat up all her guards.
She went to look for Xie Yunhe again. However, Xie Yunhe said, “Since your sister wants it, give it to her.” This was the man she had loved all her life.
He had been like this to Cheng Sang in the past. Now, it was her turn.
Cheng Lian’s heart was bleeding. She felt a deep betrayal, even though Xie Yunhe had yet to do anything…
However, at times, it is this inaction that is even more disappointing.
Cheng Lian’s heart was in a mess. On the one hand, it was because of Xie Yunhe’s coldness. On the other hand, she did not want everything she had painstakingly built to be taken back by Cheng Sang. She really did not have the time to deal with her daughter.
“Bear with it for two more days. With your sister suppressing her, she won’t be able to turn things around. When you become the Saintess, your father will understand that the people he can really rely on are still us.”
These words might be useful to the Saintess, but how could Cheng Qingxue, who had been spoiled since she was young, listen?
Cheng Qingxue refused to give up. “I don’t care, I don’t care! I hate her! I don’t allow her to ride on my head! Didn’t you hear how she humiliated me at the door just now? She’s a little liar. She deceived Elder Mother and stole the family head’s token. Now, she cheated and s.n.a.t.c.hed my first place! I can’t take this lying down!”
Cheng Lian said in frustration, “Stop fooling around! With your sister watching, the position of the Saintess will definitely be yours. Why do you have to fight for the first place in the selection?”
Cheng Qingxue was stunned by Cheng Lian’s scolding. “Mother, why are you so fierce to me?”
The servants did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Madam had always had a good temper and spoke softly to everyone, especially Second Miss.
However, ever since the little girl came to the Cheng family, Madam had become more and more easily aggravated.
Cheng Lian also realized that she had lost her composure. She smiled and patted her daughter’s hand. “I’m a little tired today. Didn’t you take the exam all day? Go back and rest early. I’ll send someone to tell your sister later and ask her to think of a way. How about that?”
These words finally comforted Cheng Qingxue.
She curled her lips and said, “Alright, Mother, rest early too.”
After Cheng Qingxue left, Cheng Lian did not immediately get someone to go to the Holy Maiden Temple. Instead, she called her trusted maidservant over. “Go and see if Old Master is back.”
It was not that Cheng Lian did not care about her daughter’s feelings, but in her opinion, her daughter was almost certain to be the Saintess. She did not have to worry at all.
On the other hand, the situation in the Cheng family was not optimistic.
She had to think of a way to get the family head’s token back.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to Cheng Sang’s courtyard and learned her results from Uncle Quan.
Uncle Quan had told Cheng Sang long ago.
Cheng Sang smiled. “Weiwei is amazing!”
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside her on the newly set swing. “How was Mom at home today?”
Cheng Sang whispered, “I miss Weiwei.”
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Did you do anything else when you missed me?”
Cheng Sang’s eyes darted around as she answered honestly, “I played cards.” At the mention of this, Yuchi Xiu’s face darkened.
He, who was ranked second on the a.s.sa.s.sin Ranking, could not defeat a little crazy woman.
He had lost all his monthly allowance again and even borrowed ten taels from Uncle Quan.
.. On high interest.
Uncle Quan was also black-hearted!
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Yuchi Xiu and Uncle Quan plated with you. Who was the other player?”
The chef came over with a plate of freshly cooked snacks and smiled awkwardly. “It was me.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have a bad impression of the chef. The others always pointed at Cheng Sang and disobeyed her. The chef didn’t get involved and only cooked in the small kitchen.
“Young Miss, don’t worry. I won’t say a word.”
She could tell that Cheng Sang was pretending to have recovered.
Since Uncle Quan could agree to her coming over, he must have investigated her background. She could be trusted.
“In the future, the ingredients in the courtyard will not be taken from the main kitchenl. You will only use the ingredients Uncle Quan bought from outside.”
“Yes!”
Although the chef did not understand why Young Miss had instructed her like this, she still agreed solemnly.
“Mother, other than the few of us, don’t eat anything anyone gives you. Do you remember?”
“I shall remember.”
Cheng Lian couldn’t win and would soon play dirty tricks. With Yuchi Xiu around, she wasn’t worried about a.s.sa.s.sination, but she still had to be wary of poisoning.
“Why is Cheng Lian so bold?” Mei Ji asked Su Xiaoxiao after entering the house.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “If a dog is anxious, it will jump over the wall. If she doesn’t make a move soon, the power in her hands will be taken over. The key is that Xie Yunhe isn’t on her side.”
When Mei Ji heard this, she was enlightened. “No wonder you only slapped Cheng Lian when you let Cheng Sang act at the beginning and didn’t completely fall out with Xie Yunhe. You’re not worried that Cheng Sang won’t be able to do it. You want to sow discord between Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Xie Yunhe only wants the Cheng family. It’s not difficult to guess who can give it to him.”
Mei Ji said happily, “Doesn’t Cheng Lian feel terrible? She’s been trying to please him for 30 years.”
Su Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea. “This is called reaping what you sow.”
Xie Yunhe returned from outside and b.u.mped into Cheng Lian when he pa.s.sed by the small garden.
Cheng Lian dismissed the servants and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Xie Yunhe frowned slightly. “It’s so late. Why aren’t you resting?”
Cheng Lian asked aggrievedly, “Are you avoiding me?”
Xie Yunhe said, “What nonsense are you talking about? There have been many things happening in the family recently…”
Cheng Lian looked at him deeply. “No matter how busy you were in the past, you would come over. But recently, you’ve been going to Sister’s place every day. You haven’t taken the initiative to look for me and Qingxue for a few days.” Xie Yunhe said, “Qingxue is going to the Holy Selection. I don’t want to disturb her. ”
Cheng Lian smiled bitterly. “Doesn’t that girl need to go for the Holy Selection? Aren’t you afraid of disturbing her? Are you planning to return to Sister’s side again?
“If you want to think that, there’s nothing I can do.”
With that, Xie Yunhe brushed past her.
“Xie Yunhe!”
Cheng Lian stopped him, her tone carrying a rare intensity.
“Can’t you tell? Sister is trying to sow discord between you and me. Do you think she will really forgive you? She has hated me since she was young, but you married me. She can’t wait to cut you into pieces!”
“Are you done?” Xie Yunhe was very calm.
Cheng Lian looked at his extremely cold gaze and it pierced her heart like a sharp knife..
