Chapter 844 - 844: New Family
Zheng Hai smiled awkwardly.
“The situation of the Cheng family… is a little complicated. When Old Master Cheng was alive, he didn’t have a son and only had two daughters, one legitimate and one from a concubine. In order to continue the Cheng family’s bloodline, Old Master Cheng found a live-in son-in-law for his legitimate daughter. Not long after the wedding, Madam Cheng was pregnant, but fate made a fool of her. She gave birth to a stillborn baby girl.
“Madam Cheng couldn’t take the blow and went crazy. In less than two years, Old Master Cheng and Matriarch Cheng also passed away one after another. The heavy burden of the family fell on the shoulders of the Cheng family’s son-in-law.
“Speaking of which, this son-in-law of the Cheng family is quite capable. He manages the family well. He doesn’t have a son, so he supports the children of the side branches. The Cheng family is thriving day by day, rising from the bottom of the four families to the top two.
“Later on, he married the concubine sister of the Cheng family, saying that he wanted to leave a descendant for the Cheng family. The Cheng family’s bloodline could not be cut off, so the family agreed. Their eldest daughter is the current Saintess, and their second daughter is the one you met on the streets today.”
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt that the Cheng family was brewing a huge pot of melodramatic dog blood.
She asked Zheng Hai, “So, where did the daughter of the Cheng family come from?”
Zheng Hai smiled at Su Xiaoxiao. “That baby girl didn’t die back then. She survived in the coffin. A kind -hearted person passing by heard her cries and saved her. He took her in and raised her. And you are her daughter.” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
“The Cheng family will acknowledge it?” Wei Ting finally spoke.
Zheng Hai smiled and said to the two of them, “This bracelet was buried with the baby girl back then. You just have to insist that your mother left it for you.” Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘What about my mother?”
Zheng Hai said, “She passed away and only told you the truth before she died.
On the surface, she didn’t care, but she had actually asked around long ago. This bracelet is something that only exists in the capital. She hoped that you could return to the capital to find your background. After asking around, you finally found out your background.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was indescribable. “This ‘multiple inquiries to find out her background’… Isn’t it a little perfunctory? This isn’t something a weak woman can find out, right?”
Zheng Hai coughed lightly. “That’s all I can think of for now. If there are any loopholes, find them yourself.” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
“I don’t look like a Cheng family member.”
“You’re like your father.” “Where’s my father?”
“He’s dead too.”
“What about the family that adopted my mother?”
“The epidemic. They’re all dead.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless again.
Zheng Hai opened the cabinet and took out a stack of documents. “I found two places where there was a plague. The household registration and travel passes for both places have been settled. Choose one yourself.”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered,” You only have props and don’t have a script, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao brought the household registration and travel passes over. Thinking of the people accompanying her, she said, “My household registration alone is not enough. Many people have come this time.” “How many?” Zheng Hai asked.
Su Xiaoxiao extended her fingers one by one. “There aren’t enough hands to count.”
This time, it was Zheng Hail s turn to remain silent.
Boss didn’t say that a nest would come…
He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Give me a day. I’ll prepare a travel pass for you at noon tomorrow at the latest.”
After leaving the Silken Cloth Manor, Su Xiaoxiao was in a good mood.
Wei Ting glanced at her. “Why are you so happy?
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “Of course I’m happy to be able to go to the capital! Xiao Shunyang thinks that by detaining our travel passes, he can make it difficult for us to move. Are you dumbfounded?”
Wei Ting chuckled. “I think you can’t wait to be the daughter of the Cheng family, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. “Ahem.”
Why did he have to expose it?
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Isn’t this to make it easier for me to find Dad and
Second Brother’s medicine? Didn’t you hear Old Zheng say that the current
Saintess is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family? What does this mean? The Cheng family is related to the Holy Maiden Temple! If I enter the Cheng family, it will be much easier to ask for information or find medicine!”
Wei Ting looked at her skeptically. “Are you sure you’re not doing it for your own fun?”
“Of course not!”
Su Xiaoxiao placed her hands behind her back and swung her head before walking away valiantly!
After returning to the inn, the two of them went to Wei Qing.
The four little ones were sitting in a row and eating rice cakes. A parrot stood at the side and was also happily pecking at the rice cakes.
Seeing their mother return, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu immediately stopped sitting. They came over and stuck to her body before continuing to eat the rice cakes.
Wei Ting told them about going to Silken Cloth Manor to see Zheng Hai. Regarding the origin of the brocade bag, Wei Ting only mentioned that it was sent by Su Li.
When Li Wan saw Su Li coming to send her off that day, she also thought that it was the Old Marquis’s arrangement.
As for what Wei Qing was thinking, no one knew. He was as shrewd as Su Xuan. Who knew if he was able to sniff his own kind?
Anyway, Wei Qing did not ask anything on the surface.
Li Wan said softly, “I was just talking to your second brother about road passes.
We have to get our road Dasses checked all the wav to the caoital. Can that
Shopkeeper Zheng really get so many road passes?”
“He said yes,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
It was a good thing that the problem of road passes had been resolved, but when she thought of how her seventh sister-in-law was going to the Cheng family, she could not help but be a little worried.
She looked at Wei Qing. “Husband, is the Cheng family safe?”
Wei Qing closed the half-read book.
Wei Ting’s face darkened. “I talk to you, but you read the entire time. As soon as Second Sister-in-law speaks, you immediately stop reading.”
Was this how a brother should be?
Wei Qing ignored his stinky brother’s resentment and replied to his wife softly, “The situation of the Cheng family is indeed as that shopkeeper said. The current head is the son-in-law of the Cheng family back then, and the current Madam is a daughter of the concubine. As for the first wife of the Cheng family’s son-in-law, it’s said that she hasn’t come out to see anyone for many years.”
Li Wan looked at Su Xiaoxiao worriedly. “Then… won’t Seventh Sister-in-law be alone and helpless?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Second Sister-in-law, how can we get tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den? The herbs we need are in the Saint Lady Temple. The Cheng family is the only chance to approach the Saint Lady Temple at the moment. Moreover, I’ve long fallen out with the second daughter of the Cheng family. She’ll look for trouble even if I go to the capital. Instead of being schemed against by her, it’s better to attack openly. At least on the surface, she can’t touch me.”
“You agree too?” Wei Qing looked at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting snorted.
Wei Qing sighed. Wasn’t it just reading for a while? How old was he? Why was he being jealous?
Wei Ting glanced at a certain little fat peacock coldly. “Is it useful if I don’t agree?”
A certain someone was waiting to cause trouble in the Cheng family.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t like to be aggrieved. Why wouldn’t she use such a good identity?
Although there was indeed a certain risk in going to the Cheng family, this was the style of the Head of the Secret Service. He had always risked lives and was ruthless to everyone..
