Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the reception hall, Mei Ji asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Did Cheng Lian participate in the matter of the King of the Southern Wilderness?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Her reaction just now didn’t seem to be that she knew the secret of the mine. She probably just wanted to trap Cheng Sang in the abandoned mine. In the eyes of ordinary people, no one appears there. Cheng Sang was trapped there to die.”
Mei Ji clicked her tongue. “Cheng Lian is less than two years younger than Cheng Sang, right? She was only a girl around 14 years old back then, but she was already so vicious.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Some people are born bad. It has nothing to do with age.”
Mei Ji agreed. “That’s true. I’ve seen eight-year-old boys push their younger brothers into the water, and I’ve seen a ten-year-old girl encourage three-year-old children from the same village to jump into the river. Y-y-you… go back to the courtyard first. I still have something to do.”
Su Xiaoxiao knew what she was going to do and didn’t stop her.
In the flower hall, Xie Yunhe’s slap was so powerful that Cheng Lian fell to the ground.
Her hair was in a mess, and her pearl hairpin flew out.
Cheng Lian was stunned.
After a long while, she was brought out of her daze by the burning pain on her cheek.
She looked at Xie Yunhe in disbelief.
“You hit me?”
From the first time she went to the lake with her sister to see Xie Yunhe, her heart was no longer hers.
She tried her best to marry him, but just because she was a concubine’s daughter, she could not compete with the legitimate daughter of the family. Even the man she loved became her brother-in-law.
She was indignant!
She sought out her father and hoped that he would agree to her marriage with Xie Yunhe. Anyvvay, with her sister’s noble status, she could have any lived-in son-in-law she wanted.
Why did it have to be Xie Yunhe?
It was her sister who snatched her things first!
She was just claiming it back!
What was the big deal with the child?
In the end, didn’t she live and was saved by a nosy kind-hearted person?
Why did he still vent his anger on her?
Hadn’t she done enough for him all these years?
If her sister… if her sister had not gone crazy, did he think her sister would be willing to hand over the power of the Cheng family to him?
Only she would do that!
That was why she treated him so sincerely!
“How dare you scheme against me!”
Xie Yunhe squeezed out every word through gritted teeth.
He was really angry.
If Cheng Lian had not interfered and made him misunderstand Cheng Sang, he would not have ended up like this with Cheng Sang.
If his daughter was the heir of the Cheng family, why would he marry Cheng Lian?
Cheng Lian looked at his undisguised disgust and felt like a sharp knife was stabbing her heart.
Was 30 years of husband and wife relationship so fragile?
It was useless no matter how stubborn she was. She knew this man too well.
Once he lost his trust in you, he could fall out with you on the spot.
Back then, he had treated his sister like this. Now, it was her turn.
Cheng Lian wiped her tears and stood up with a bitter smile. “What did I scheme against you? If you believed me without a doubt, you shouldn’t have agreed to let me invite the Gu to acknowledge kinship! You were just being paranoid! If I said that Sister was having an affair with someone, you’ll believe me! You’d rather believe a sister-in-law born of a concubine than the person beside you. Who can you blame?”
“You still have the cheek to say that, evil woman!”
Xie Yunhe slapped her hard again!
As Cheng Lian fell to the table, the tea set fell to the ground.
“Mother!”
Cheng Qingxue rushed in.
Cheng Lian’s mouth was bleeding.
Her hair was completely messy and she was in a sorry state.
Cheng Qingxue’s heart ached.
She helped Cheng Lian up and cried as she looked at Xie Yunhe. “Dad, what are you doing?”
Ever since they were young, their parents had always respected each other and had never fought.
What happened today frightened her.
Xie Yunhe’s anger could not be calmed.
Cheng Qingxue felt unfamiliar with such a father.
At this moment, Mei Ji, who had already left, turned back.
She had come back to stir up trouble.
She watched the commotion and looked at the mess in the room and Chelu Lian, who had been beaten up until both sides of her face were swollen. The corners of her lips curled up and she placed her hands on her hips. ‘Master, don’t be anxious to be angry. What if you hurt your body from anger? This is only the beginning.”
Xie Yunhe, who was not comforted, was dumbfounded.
Mei Ji entered the house, grabbed a snack on the table, and sat down on the chair.
“Master, there are nine blood worms here. Don’t waste them. Why don’t you try them on your other two daughters too? Perhaps they are the real little bastards!”
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart.
Cheng Lian’s expression changed.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s the bastard? I’m my father’s biological son!”
Mei Ji smiled at Cheng Lian.
After interacting with Su Xiaoxiao for a long time, her smile was like Su Xiaoxiao’s.
“Your mother doesn’t seem to think so.” Mei Ji said mischievously.
Xie Yunhe and Cheng Qingxue looked at Cheng Lian.
Cheng Lian smiled bitterly. “This is the Gu they brought. Who knows if they poisoned it? Even if they didn’t put in the bottle just now, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t put poison in the remaining bottles. If you want to accuse me, why don’t you find another reason? It’s useless no matter what I say. If you want to suspect me, you can go ahead.”
Mei Ji crossed her arms and said like Su Xiaoxiao, “If I tamper with these bottles, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death! Cheng Lian, do you dare to swear that your daughter is Xie Yunhe’s flesh and blood? If you’re lying, your eldest daughter will be struck by lightning and be condemned by everyone!”‘
“You…”
Cheng Lian fell back in anger!
Cheng Qingxue grabbed the whip at her waist. “You little bitch, who allowed you to spout nonsense here? See if I don’t tear your mouth apart today!”
She lashed at Mei Ji.
Mei Ji was not afraid of her.
One had to know that back in the Wei family, she fought with Madam Lan and Madam Jiang every day.
Madam Lan’s weapon was a whip.
She had long learned how to fight weapons with the three of them, okay?
Mei Ji snatched the whip and whipped Cheng Qingxue twice.
Cheng Qingxue was sent flying and landed at Xie Yunhe’s feet.
That’s right, Mei Ji did it on purpose.
Xie Yunhe reached for the blood worm.
Cheng Lian pounced.
Xie Yunhe looked at her obstruction and kicked her chest, knocking her to the ground.
Cheng Lian spat out a mouthful of blood.
Almost at the same time, Xie Yunhe’s blood worm landed on Cheng Qingxue.
An unbelievable scene happened.
Cheng Qingxue, who had only been whipped twice, suddenly began to spasm. Her face was purple and the corners of her lips were dark.
Cheng Lian pointed at Mei Ji and said, “It’s you—you injured Qingxue!”
Mei Ji sneered. “Are you blind? Does she look like she has internal injuries? She’s clearly poisoned!”
Mei Ji gloated. “Aiyaya, you didn’t expect that after your biological daughter was killed and left the family, you would help another man raise a little bastard for so many years. Master, VOU’ve been so wronged! ”
Xie Yunhe’s face darkened.
There was a sword hanging on the wall for decoration.
But it was also a real sword that had been sharpened.
Xie Yunhe flew into a rage out of humiliation and pulled out the sword.
Cheng Lian stood in front of Cheng Qingxue. “Don’t hurt her…”
Xie Yunhe slashed down.
Clang!
A hidden weapon flew over and sent Xie Yunhe’s sword flying.
Xie Yunhe was also forced back a few steps by the residual power of the hidden weapon.
Mei Ji turned around.
Tsk, the Saintess was here.
The Saintess had just returned to the Holy Maiden Temple from the palace when she heard that Mei Ji had asked Yin Xiaodie for the blood worm.
She returned to the Cheng family to see what tricks that girl was up to again.
Who would have thought that they would see Xie Yunhe trying to kill his wife with a sword?
Cheng Lian choked and said, “Qingyao, quickly save your sister!”
The Saintess squatted down and checked Cheng Qingxue’s pulse. “Is she poisoned?”
Cheng Lian cried softly, “It’s a blood worm…”
“Why would this happen?”
The Saintess looked at Cheng Lian, whose face was swollen, and then at her sister, in whom the Gu poison was acting up, and Xie Yunhe, who had lost control. She finally understood what had happened..
