Chapter 915: The Heir of the Cheng Family

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was night.

Su Xuan returned to Elder Lou’s residence.

Elder Lou mostly lived in the Holy Maiden Temple, and she had no family to settle down with, so she only set up a small courtyard.

Elder Lou couldn’t be bothered to deal with the two young people and returned to her room to rest early.

Princess Hui An was not asleep. She was waiting in the courtyard.

After looking around, he was finally back.

However, it was impossible for her to get up to welcome him. After all, she was a princess and had to put on airs.

“Why did you take so long?” Princess Hui An muttered unhappily.

Su Xuan handed her a bag of snacks wrapped in Ruo leaves. “The rice cakes from that shop were sold out. I went to a few more shops before I could buy them.’

Princess Hui An brought over the rice cake that was still emitting heat. She

opened the leaf and handed him a piece. “Here.”

Su Xuan smiled. “Princess, eat it yourself. I’m not hungry.”

Princess Hui An raised her chin arrogantly and said seriously, “If you don’t test the poison for me, how can I eat it?”

“I see.” Su Xuan took the rice cake and took a bite slowly. “It’s not too sweet. The rice fragrance is very strong. It’s not poisonous.”

Princess Hui An tasted a piece.

She didn’t like to eat anything too sweet. This time, the rice cake was just right.

Thinking of something, she suddenly said, “Su Xuan, have I gained weight by eating so much?”

Su Xuan smiled. “No.”

Princess Hui An felt relieved. “That’s good.”

She finished the rice cake in her hand.

Then, she sat in the courtyard and stopped moving.

Su Xuan asked, “Isn’t the princess going to bed?”

Princess Hui An whispered, “I… am still a little afraid of snakes.”

Su Xuan looked around and said, “There’s snake repellent powder sprinkled here. There won’t be any snakes.”

Although he said that, Princess Hui An was still very afraid.

Only those who had experienced it personally could understand that fear.

Princess Hui An straightened her back and ordered, “You… will be my palace guard. You will keep watch tonight!”

After saying that, she was actually not sure if Su Xuan would agree. After all, Su Xuan was just a weak scholar. Perhaps he was also afraid of snakes. A certain princess had completely forgotten who it was who had thrown out the snake the last time.

Su Xuan said, “Okay.”

Princess Hui An went to wash up and lay on the soft bed.

She was very noble. Although she had been travelling, she did not suffer much.

As a princess who had grown up in luxury, she did not find this strange. It was only when she saw those poor commoners that she realized that she had never seen the hardships of the world.

“Su Xuan,” Princess Hui An called him softly.

“Huh?” Su Xuan replied.

Princess Hui An said in a low voice, “Do you think the lives of the commoners are so bitter?”

Su Xuan flipped a page of the book. “Most of them are working for their livelihood. Some are doing well. If they meet a wise ruler and establish a peaceful world, the people will be rich. If the emperor isn’t capable , the people will not be able to live.”

Princess Hui An thought for a moment. “Is my father… a wise ruler?”

Su Xuan threw the topic to her. “What do you think, Princess?”

In the past, she had thought that her father was a wise ruler, but when she saw that the commoners were living so hard, she was no longer sure.

“The problem of the deficit in the treasury has been there since the previous Emperor was in power. His Majesty has diligently ruled the country and changed the tax law greatly to fill some gaps, but the treasury is still not full.” Su Xuan cleverly avoided the topic of whether Emperor Jing Xuan was a wise ruler.

Princess Hui An nodded.

She felt sleepy whenever they talked about state affairs.

If Jingning was here, she would not be tired from chatting about state affairs all night.

But she couldn’t.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Princess Hui An was asleep. Her two fingers were still tugging at his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would leave her alone in the middle of the night to face the worms and snakes.

The southern border was damp and hot, and Princess Hui An’s sleeping posture was not good.

After a while, she kicked off the blanket, revealing her exquisite curves.

Su Xuan flipped through the book in his hand and did not turn around.

He only waved his sleeve casually and covered her with the blanket.

In the courtyard in Changliu Lane, Yuchi Xiu returned to the Cheng family, and the others returned to their rooms to rest.

Wei Ting did not move.

Ghostfear asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Wei Ting looked at the complete jade mask on the table. “I’m thinking that the person tonight knows our situation like the back of his hand. Perhaps it’s someone we know. ”

Among the seven brothers in the family, the smartest was Wei Ting.

He must have his reasons for reaching this conclusion.

Moreover, Ghostfear vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have held back when he attacked.

Wei Ting said, “He only wants to kill Father, not us.”

This was strange.

Generally speaking, if they eliminated Wei Xu and killed him, they would definitely avenge their father, so it was best to kill them too.

However, the other party did not do so.

There was something else that was strange.

Second Brother did not come out tonight.

The night was cold. Everyone in the Cheng family went to rest, except Cheng Lian’s east courtyard.

The east courtyard was brightly lit, and none of the servants rested.

There was no other reason. The Saintess had returned.

Ever since Cheng Qingyao became the Saintess, she could only return to the Cheng family once or twice a year. Every time, the Cheng family would mobilize a large number of people and welcome the Saintess with great fanfare.

However, it was different today.

Almost all the servants in the residence had been called away by Cheng Sang, except for Cheng Lian’s own people in the east courtyard.

Xie Yunhe sat on the armchair and said nothing.

The Saintess sat beside him, in an equaivalent master seat.

Cheng Lian and Cheng Qingxue sat at the bottom and Cheng Qingxue was crying.

“It’s all her fault! It’s all her fault! It’s all her fault! Ever since she came to the Cheng family, I haven’t had a day of peace!”

When she heard that the little girl had come to the Cheng family to acknowledge her family, the Saintess did not take it to heart.

She had seen many such tricks. She was a Saintess and could crush people with a flick of her finger.

However, the current situation seemed to be a little out of control.

Not only did the little girl obtain Cheng Sang’s approval, but she also obtained the family head’s token that had been missing for many years.

They all thought that Cheng Sang had really forgotten where the family head token was.

But it turned out that she had been hiding it.

That girl even colluded with the Yin family to snatch the position of the Saintess that should have belonged to Cheng Qingxue.

In three months, she would abdicate.

According to the original plan, she would return to inherit the Cheng family and let Cheng Qingxue continue to control the Holy Maiden Temple.

Now, be it the Cheng family or the Saintess Temple, they were almost in that girl’s hands.

“Qingyao, say something. What should we do now?”

Cheng Lian choked and asked, “The Cheng family is in such a state now, and the position of Saintess has been snatched away by the Yin family. Can you think of a way not to let Yin Xiaodie take the throne?”

It was impossible to kill Yin Xiaodie.

In the past, there had been a tragedy of incumbent Saintess killing the new Saintess because she was unwilling to abdicate.

Later on, in order to protect the new Saintess, the Holy Maiden Temple issued a new rule.

Once something happened to the new Saintess, no matter who was responsible, the previous Saintess would be expelled from the Holy Maiden Temple.

The Saintess said coldly, “There’s only one way now. After I abdicate, I’ll continue to stay in the Holy Maiden Temple as an elder.. Qingxue will inherit the Cheng family!”
