Chapter 916: Torturing the Saintess

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On Cheng Sang’s side, Su Xiaoxiao lit a bonfire in the courtyard and roasted sweet potatoes for Mei Ji.

Mei Ji squatted in front of the fire, not minding the heat.

The red firelight shone on her charming face, adding a hazy beauty.

“Don’t you fart if you eat this every day?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Mei Ji snorted. “We beauties don’t fart!”

As soon as she finished speaking.

Puff..

Mei Ji was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao was a person who gloated. In the eyes of a physcian, this was a normal physiological phenomenon. There was nothing ridiculous about it.

“I’m not laughing at you. Don’t worry.”

Mei Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m laughing at the sweet potatoes.” Su Xiaoxiao threw her head back and laughed. “Hahaha!”

Mei Ji’s face darkened.

Mei Ji no longer wanted to embarrass herself in front of Su Xiaoxiao. However, she couldn’t resist the temptation of roasted sweet potatoes and decided to eat the last one.

From tomorrow onwards, she would get Uncle Quan to dispose of all the sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

Out of sight, out of appetite.

Mei Ji broke open the charred sweet potato skin and blew on it.

Thinking of something _ she asked. “Did Cheng Qingxue embarrass herself

today?”

“I guess.”

After being slapped by the Holy Bird in public, it would be as though her face was skinned.

“No wonder I saw her get out of the carriage in tears!”

When Cheng Qingxue cried, Mei Ji was happy.

Who asked Cheng Qingxue to be so annoying? She deserved to be slapped in the face in public.

“The Saintess has also gone home to visit her family. She even wants the servants in the residence to line up to welcome her. Pfft! Dream on!”

Mei Ji took a bite of the sweet potato.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled at the fire. “That’s not the only thing she’s hankering after.”

Mei Ji understood what she was implying and frowned. “Cheng Qingxue is no longer fated with the Holy Maiden Temple. The Saintess is about to abdicate. What else do they want?”ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Cheng Qingxue is not fated with the Holy Maiden Temple, but she can still return to the Cheng family. As for the Saintess, she can choose to continue staying in the Saintess Temple as an elder after she abdicates. The latter is easier. As long as she doesn’t violate the rules of the Holy Maiden Temple, it’s a matter of course.”

Although the elder’s status was not as high as the Saintess’, she was still a respected person.

Just look at Elder Lou. She had a lot of say. Even the Saintess had to give her some respect.

Mei Ji frowned. “So, the original plan was to have Cheng Qingxue enter the Holy Maiden Temple and the Saintess to come back to inherit the Cheng family. It’s very likely that she’s transferred over now?” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “If I were the Saintess, I would do that.”

“Weiwei! Weiwei!”

Cheng Sang ran out with an exquisite makeup box.

Her legs were nimble now, and she ran faster than a maidservant. Sometimes, the maidservant could not catch up to her, so Uncle Quan had to do it.

She squatted down beside Su Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and wanted to give her the small stool.

“Weiwei, sit!” Cheng Sang didn’t want her to give way.

Mei Ji’s eyes hurt. “Alright, alright. Don’t give way. I’ll move one over.” Mei Ji didn’t like to sit on small stools. She found it more fun to squat.

She went inside and placed a small stool beside Su Xiaoxiao.

Cheng Sang sat up and moved closer to Su Xiaoxiao, insisting on sticking close to her.

“There you go.”

She handed the box to Su Xiaoxiao.

“What?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Cheng Sang said, “Weiwei, open it!”

Su Xiaoxiao opened the brocade box. It was filled with jewelry and some house deeds.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand. “These are…”

Mei Ji came over and took a look. They seem to be her private savings… so much..

She knew that the Cheng family was rich, but she did not expect them to be so rich. Just a little money saved up was enough for the family to live for a few lifetimes.

No wonder they could be the behind -the-scenes financial backer of the tribes. This wealth was really not exaggerated.

Cheng Sang patted Su Xiaoxiao’s head. “Give to Weiwei. Weiwei, don’t be sad.” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cheng Sang was referring to her not being chosen as the Holy Maiden.

Cheng Sang was worried that she would be sad, so she took out her savings to coax her.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a heat wave in her heart.

Cheng Sang really treated her as her flesh and blood, but she was not.

After she completed the mission in the southern border, she would leave this place. Perhaps she would never have the chance to meet Cheng Sang again in her life.

“Ah, there’s also a bracelet! I forgot to take it!”

Cheng Sang ran into the house again.

Mei Ji looked at her anxious figure and sighed faintly. “What will she do when we leave?”

Su Xiaoxiao said nothing.

She looked down at the jewelry in the box.

Every item was exquisite, but every one of them made her heart burn.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have any missions the next day and woke up a little late.

Cheng Sang was already sitting in front of her bed, looking at her with a smile.

Her eyes were focused and warm, as if she was looking at the most precious jewelry in the world.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and suddenly found it difficult to look into her eyes.

“You haven’t called me Mother,” Cheng Sang said.

“Mother,” Su Xiaoxiao called.

It was just an act.

She would just say it. It was not like she would develop feelings for her.

“Where’s Mei Ji?” Cheng Sang asked.

“I’m up.” Mei Ji sat on the threshold, her face dark.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “What did you do? Why is your face so dark?”

Mei Ji looked at Cheng Sang resentfully. “She came before dawn. Why did she have to wake me up and tell me how soundly you were sleeping?”

Cheng Sang liked to show off her daughter in front of Mei Ji. Every time, she would ruthlessly poke Mei Ji awake.

Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Cheng Sang for breakfast.

Cheng Sang had been leaving the courtyard more and more recently. She wanted to go to the pond to feed the fish.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bag of bird food from Uncle Quan and accompanied her.

The two of them stood by the river and fed the orange-red koi.

Suddenly, the Saintess walked over.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Mother, someone’s here.”

Cheng Sang got into character in a second and wiped the smile off her face. She asked indifferently, “Who’s here?”

Cheng Sang had rehearsed these countless times in the room and knew them by heart.

“It’s the Saintess,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Cheng Sang turned around domineeringly and looked at the Saintess with burning eyes. “Why are you here?”

The Saintess was naturally here to find out about Cheng Sang.

She didn’t believe that Cheng Sang had recovered.

She thought that Cheng Sang was pretending.

She said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I have something to say to Elder Mother alone. Can you excuse me?”

Su Xiaoxiao said warily, “Who Imows if you’ll harm the family head?”

The Holy Maiden replied calmly, “Can’t you just find a visible place to keep an eye on us?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked around and said to Cheng Sang, “I’ll go to the pavilion over

tnere to Sit.’

Cheng Sang nodded. ‘Go.”

After Su Xiaoxiao walked away, the Holy Maiden said firmly, “Elder Mother, do you still recognize me?”

Cheng Sang’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “I know you even if you turn to dust, but what should I call you? Niece? Or a girl born of a concubine?”

The eyes of the Saintess flickered.

As Cheng Sang walked towards her step by step, her family head aura was fully released. “I know your goal. You’re here to test if I’ve really recovered. Cheng Qingyao, don’t play tricks in front of me. Your tricks are not enough in front of me!”

The heart of the Saintess trembled.

Cheng Sang said domineeringly, “If you know what’s good for you, stay obediently in the Holy Maiden Temple and don’t always have designs on the Cheng family. Otherwise, I don’t mind making you pay for what happened for all these years!”

The Saintess clenched her fists.

Cheng Sang seemed to be too lazy to waste her breath on her and turned to leave.

“Elder Mother. ”

The Saintess stopped her. “It was my fault for pushing you into the water back then. Will you forgive me as long as I never return to the Cheng family?”S earch newn0vel. 0 rg on google

“Hmph!”

Cheng Sang snorted and turned to leave.

The Saintess said again, “Elder Mother, if you’ve really recovered, how can you not remember that I never pushed you into the water? I’m most afraid of water. Even if I want to harm someone, I won’t come to the water.”

Cheng Sang stopped and slowly turned around. “What did you just say?”

The Saintess said, “I said that you’ve exposed yourself, Elder Mother.”

Cheng Sang said with a serious expression, “No, you said you’re afraid of water.”

The Saintess frowned, not understanding what was wrong with this sentence.

In the next second, Cheng Sang raised her leg and kicked!

“Then you can go down!”

Thump!

The Saintess was caught off guard and fell into the water..
