“Uncle Han!”
Cheng Qingxue’s voice came from outside the house. Uncle Han turned around and looked at the unlatched door. He said to the woman, “Second Miss is here.”
The woman took the veiled bamboo hat on the table and put it on. “I’ll leave first.”
Uncle Han cupped his hands and bowed. “Goodbye, Emissary.”
The woman left through the back door and Cheng Qingxue entered through the front door.
“Uncle Han!”
“Ah, Second Miss is here.”
Uncle Han smiled and invited her into the house to sit down. He made her a cup of tea and took her favorite preserved fruit.
Uncle Han smelled the medicine and asked with concern, “Second Miss, are you injured?”
At the mention of this, Cheng Qingxue was furious.
Scowling, she took off her veil, revealing her swollen cheek.
Uncle Han frowned. “What’s going on? It looks like a whip injury… Did Second
Miss accidentally hurt yourself while practicing martial arts?”
The reason why he asked this was because Uncle Han did not think that anyone in the capital would dare to bully the second daughter of the Cheng family.
Cheng Qingxue said aggrievedly, “I didn’t hurt myself by practicing martial arts. Two little liars came to the residence and claimed to be my Elder Mother’s granddaughter.”
Uncle Han was surprised. “Where did Madam Cheng get a granddaughter? She’s not—she’s only been pregnant once, right? She gave birth to a stillborn child.”
Cheng Qingxue said, “That’s right. The entire capital knows about this. My aunt doesn’t have any descendants. That girl insisted that the baby girl didn’t die back then and was saved by a kind person who passed by. She was even raised and had a child in the town… My face was injured by that girl and her maidservant.”
On the roof, Mei Ji snorted. What did it have to do with her?
Cheng Qingxue said angrily, “That maidservant looks like a vixen. It’s obvious that she’s not a decent person.”
Mei Ji rolled her eyes. Who’s not a decent person?
Uncle Han continued, “Has Old Master acknowledged her?”
Cheng Qingxue snorted. “Of course my father won’t acknowledge her. She’s scanned my Elder Mother. That countryside girl took out the bracelet my Elder Mother gave her daughter and even called her mother. You know that my Elder Mother is crazy and fell into her trap.”
“I see…” Uncle Han fell into deep thought.
Cheng Qingxue frowned. “It’s obvious that these two have ulterior motives. My mother originally wanted to tell my sister to investigate their background, but my father wouldn’t let her. He said not to bother my sister with such a small matter. He can investigate it himself.”
Uncle Han smiled. “Old Master has put in a lot of effort.”
Cheng Qingxue sighed. “I can only tell you, Uncle Han. My father usually dotes on me so much, but when he meets Elder Mother, my father’s heart will soften.’
Uncle Han smiled and said, “Master is a loyal person.”
Cheng Qingxue said gloomily, “But this has wronged my mother. I don’t know how many years she’s suffered from Elder Mother. She’s never complained in front of my father or resented Elder Mother.”
Uncle Han said warmly, “Madam is kind-hearted. She’s Old Master’s good wife.”
Mei Ji couldn’t help but roll her eyes on the roof. Her tongue was about to cramp.
Cheng Qingxue continued to complain for a while until Mei Ji was about to fall asleep.
Uncle Han said, “Miss, wait a moment. I’ll get you medicine. It’s high-grade medicine from the Holy Maiden Temple.”
Cheng Qingxue said, “By the way, Uncle Han, my mother asked me to bring some materials over for Sister. Remember to help me bring them to the Holy Maiden Temple one day.”
Uncle Han’s eyes moved. “Okay.”
After Cheng Qingxue left, Uncle Han immediately loaded the materials she had sent into the carriage.
Mei Ji was puzzled. “Cheng Qingxue brought these materials to the Saintess. Is he going to the Saintess’s Hall?”
Mei Ji decisively used her movement technique to chase after him.
When she saw the majestic plaque of the Holy Maiden Temple, she raised her eyebrows. “1 guessed correctly.”
There were experts guarding the entrance of the Saint Lady Temple. Uncle Han showed his token and entered through the side door.
Mei Ji wanted to go in too, but she couldn’t leave through the main door or the side door. She couldn’t go through the back door either. She could only climb the wall.
She came to a courtyard wall that no one had passed by. She tapped her feet and soared into the air, her body spinning like a blooming fire lotus.
However, just as she was about to cross the wall, she suddenly saw an extremely thin thread.
“Snow Region Heavenly Silk!”
Her expression changed. She forced herself to stay in the air and hit the wall with her palm. She used her internal force to push herself back.
That was close!
If not for the fact that Xiaoxiao had given her two pieces of Snow Region Heavenly Silk, she would have fallen for it just now.
After flying over, she would no longer be the beautiful Mei Ji. She would be the Mei Ji who had been cut into pieces.
A chill ran down her spine.
Just as she was about to try another place, she did not expect that her self-protection palm just now would alarm the experts of the Saint Lady Temple.
A terrifying sword qi slashed over. Mei Ji blocked it with the Fractured Bone Fan.
With a crack, the folding fan cracked and the sword qi hit her chest. She felt a pain in her ribs and spat out a mouthful of blood!
What a terrifying expert!
Mei Ji stopped fighting and used her movement technique to enter the night.
When Mei Ji returned to the Cheng family, it was already night.
Cheng Sang had been coaxed to sleep by Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao had just covered this poor elder with the blanket when there was a collision at the door.
Su Xiaoxiao went to open the door.
Mei Ji’s body softened and she fell in front of her.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly carried her into the house and looked around. She closed the door and inserted the bolt.
She carried the pale Mei Ji to a chair. “Mei Ji!”
Mei Ji spat out another mouthful of blood.
Seeing that she was not injured, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly took her pulse. “What serious internal injuries. Mei Ji, who did you meet?”
Mei Ji panted and said, “I followed that Uncle Han… to the Holy Maiden Temple… and suffered a sword qi..
A single sword qi was able to injure Mei Ji to this extent. It seemed that the Saint Lady Temple’s strength was unfathomable.
Su Xiaoxiao opened her pouch and took out the medicine she carried with her to feed Mei Ji.
After Mei Ji took the medicine, she sat cross-legged on the chair and adjusted her Inner Breath.
After she felt less uncomfortable, she told him what had happened along the way.
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, “Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Holy Maiden Temple. That Uncle Han should be an outer sect disciple or deacon of the Holy Maiden Temple.”
To put it bluntly, these outer sect disciples and deacons were actually handling external chores for the Holy Maiden Temple.
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “Uncle Han is related to the Holy Maiden Temple. I guessed it long ago, so I’m not too surprised. However, Cheng Lian’s actions are a little intriguing. She’s the mother of the Saintess. How can she not have access to any good medicine from the Holy Maiden Temple? She deliberately asked Cheng Qingxue to get the medicine to leak the news of my arrival to Uncle Han through Cheng Qingxue. She asked Cheng Qingxue to bring materials to the Saintess to give Uncle Han an excuse to go to the Holy Maiden Temple… She’s contacting the Saintess.”
Mei Ji asked, “She’s the Saintess’s biological mother. Is there a need to go through so much trouble to see the Saintess?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “The closer you are, the more you have to avoid suspicion. Besides, it was Xie Yunhe who didn’t let her tell the Saintess.
Wouldn’t she be disobeying her husband if she went to look for the Saintess?”
Mei Ji narrowed her eyes. “This Cheng Lian has 800 hearts!” “Where’s Wuhu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Here…” Mei Ji lowered her head and touched her clothes.
Where was the parrot?
