Chapter 921: The Saintess Kneeling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Compared to Su Xiaoxiao, the Saintess, Cheng Lian, and Xie Yunhe were even more confused.
This girl had clearly admitted that she was not Cheng Sang’s biological granddaughter, so why was she now a blood relative?
Was there a problem with the Gu? Or was there a problem with this girl?
It couldn’t be that this girl didn’t know her background; if so, why did she come to the Cheng family to acknowledge her family?
The three of them were stunned speechless.
At the Saintess’ level, she would no longer lose her composure on any occasion. However, this time, she choked firmly.
If it was someone else who had planted the Gu, it could be said that someone had tampered with it. However, that was a Gu she had personally refined. Its effect was more than ten times stronger than other Gu.
This girl was supposed to die from the poison in a few breaths.
The Saintess looked down at the porcelain bottle in her hand.
Was it because she didn’t get the Gu out?
But the bottle was already empty.
Or had it gone down somewhere else?
“That’s impossible,” the Saintess said.
Emissary Lu did not have the guts to lie to her, nor was there a need to.
This girl said it herself—”How good would it be if Cheng Sang’s biological grandchild was still alive.”
“Saintess.”
Cheng Rui stood up from the chair and said in a dissatisfied tone, “You were the one who insisted on using the Gu. You were also the one who personally went to retrieve the blood and cast the Gu. Now that the outcome is out, it’s not what you expected. Are you going to go back on your word?”
Cheng Rui was really not afraid of death.
All these years, he had followed his father in resisting Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian and had suffered countless hardships. Their family was the most down and out in the entire Cheng family.
He actually dared to openly challenge the Saintess. He was really stubborn.
Cheng Fu said, “Ah Rui, this is your mistake. The Saintess has her reasons for doing things. Let’s just watch.”
“That’s right. Why are you in a hurry? The Saintess has always been fair. She won’t wrong anyone.”
“That’s right. We believe in the Saintess.”
When Cheng Lian heard so many people speaking up for her daughter, she immediately felt confident again.
That’s right. There must be something strange about this girl.
“Qingyao, did you cast the wrong Gu?”
She asked the Saintess.
The Saintess frowned.
She shouldn’t have made a mistake, but what was with this result?
She took out another porcelain bottle.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with rejection. “Hey, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to do it again?
The Saintess said with a cold gaze, “If you’re the biological granddaughter, you’ll be fine even if I do it ten times or a hundred times!”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. To be honest, she also wanted to understand what was going on…
She didn’t enter the pharmacy, but she wasn’t poisoned…
It was rare for the pharmacy to fumble and drop the ball at a critical moment. Could it be that she was really not poisoned…
Some things were too shocking. Even someone like Su Xiaoxiao, who had braved many storms, did not dare to believe this easily.
However, this was risky.
If the pharmacy simply to fumble the ball and she was poisoned again, she might lose her life.
Should she take another gamble?
The Saintess said, “Are you afraid? Or… did you do something when you took
Elder Mother’s blood just now and killed my Gu?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Hey, don’t slander me.”
It seemed that she had no choice but to gamble. There were so many people standing on the Saintess’ side. If she did not take out ironclad evidence, she would not be able to convince the crowd.
“Let’s make it clear first. Every time you use the Gu, you have to do a kowtow if you’re mistaken! Have you thought it through? How many kowtows do you want to make to me later?”
A hint of danger flashed across the Saintess’s eyes.
As long as the Gu poison acted up, this girl would die and she would not have to kowtow.
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “If you don’t agree, I won’t go through with the test!”
The Saintess said coldly, “As you wish.”
This time, the Holy Maiden personally went to pick Cheng Sang’s blood.
Cheng Lian asked the maidservant to light half an incense stick.
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her arm. “Do it properly. Don’t act cool. Otherwise, people won’t be able to see your movements clearly and won’t know where you placed the Gu worm.”
The Saintess was choked by her.
However, she slowed down.
Everyone clearly saw her place the Gu worm on Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was also sure that she was really poisoned.
Then she began to try to get into the pharmacy.
Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t enter.
However, the poison still did not flare up.
Could it be…
Cheng Rui said seriously, “Saintess! You have nothing to say now!”
The Saintess did not believe it and actually placed another one.
The result was the same.
Cheng Rui was even more excited than he was on his wedding night. “Is anyone else jumping out to object? Do you want another hundred!”
Su Xiaoxiao staggered.
No way.
A hundred?
Was she really not afraid of trypophobia?
The evidence was irrefutable. It would be unreasonable for those elders and uncles to side with the Saintess.
Cheng Rui came to the oldest elder. “Third Uncle, say something fair!”
Given Third Uncle’s seniority, even if Cheng Sang came, she had to politely call him Great Uncle.
He had not said a word just now and looked like he was asleep. Everyone was worried that he was old and confused.
Cheng Rong’an said, “Third Uncle, we just invited the Gu to determine kinship.”
Third Uncle glanced at him. “I’m old, not dead.”
Third Uncle had not lost his ability to retort.
Cheng Rong’an touched his nose resentfully and did not say anything else.
Third Uncle stood up with difficulty with his walking stick and dragged his old body slowly to Su Xiaoxiao.
He bowed his body and lowered his head slightly. His old voice sounded in the flower hall. “Greetings, Young Master.” Third Uncle acknowledged her!
Everyone was shocked.
It had to be known that Cheng Lian had been the family head for many years. He had never called her the “family head”.
However, he accepted all the gifts from Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe and never rejected them.
Everyone thought that he was putting on the airs of an elder. He did not call him family head, but he admitted it in his heart.
What a sly old fox!
He had never offended Cheng Lian, but he had never acknowledged her!
If not for this today, Cheng Lian would have thought that Third Uncle was on her side.
Third Uncle’s address of Young Master was almost a clear slap to her face.
As the actual person in charge, Xie Yunhe also felt the heat on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao helped Third Uncle up. “You’re welcome. Sit!”
Cheng Rui immediately cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Young Master!”
The Cheng family members who were loyal to Cheng Sang also bowed.
Although the others were on Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe’s side, the truth was right in front of them. They could not go against the rest at all.
“We’re all family. Everyone, sit!”
Su Xiaoxiao invited everyone to sit down and turned around. She smiled at the Saintess. “Kowtow, Cheng Qingyao!”
The Saintess clenched her fists.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her stiff fist and smiled. ‘Why? Do you want to hit me?”
Cheng Lian hurriedly walked down and pressed the Saintess arm. She said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Qingyao is the Saintess and your aunt. In terms of status and seniority, she shouldn’t kowtow to you!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “She agreed herself. She shouldn’t go back on her word! Otherwise, I’ll spread this news tomorrow and let the citizens of the capital see what kind of person the Saintess they worship is!” “You…” Cheng Lian fell back in anger!
Su Xiaoxiao dusted her sleeves and sat down on the chair. “Kneel!” The Saintess clenched her fists.
She had never suffered such humiliation since she was young.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you don’t kneel, I’ll have to exercise my authority as the young master. I wonder if it’s enough to chase you out of the family? You shouldn’t care, right? Anyway, you still have the Holy Maiden Temple to go to after leaving the Cheng family. I wonder what the Holy Maiden Temple will think if they find out that you went back on your word.” The Saintess dug her nails into her palms.. “I’ll kowto!”
