Chapter 916 - 916 Torturing the Saintess

“Don’t you fart if you eat this every day?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Mei Ji snorted. “We beauties don’t fart!”

As soon as she finished speaking.

Puff…

Mei Ji was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao was a person who gloated. In the eyes of a physcian, this was a normal physiological phenomenon. There was nothing ridiculous about it.

“I’m not laughing at you. Don’t worry.”

Mei Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m laughing at the sweet potatoes.” Su Xiaoxiao threw her head back and laughed. “Hahaha!”

Mei Ji’s face darkened.

Mei Ji no longer wanted to embarrass herself in front of Su Xiaoxiao. However, she couldn’t resist the temptation of roasted sweet potatoes and decided to eat the last one.

From tomorrow onwards, she would get Uncle Quan to dispose of all the sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

Out of sight, out of appetite.

Mei Ji broke open the charred sweet potato skin and blew on it.

Thinking of something, she asked, “Did Cheng Qingxue embarrass herself today?”

“I guess.”

After being slapped by the Holy Bird in public, it would be as though her face was skinned.

“No wonder I saw her get out of the carriage in tears!”

When Cheng Qingxue cried, Mei Ji was happy.

Who asked Cheng Qingxue to be so annoying? She deserved to be slapped in the face in public.

“The Saintess has also gone home to visit her family. She even wants the servants in the residence to line up to welcome her. Pfft! Dream on!”

Mei Ji took a bite of the sweet potato.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled at the fire. “That’s not the only thing she’s hankering after.”

Mei Ji understood what she was implying and frowned. “Cheng Qingxue is no longer fated with the Holy Maiden Temple. The Saintess is about to abdicate. What else do they want?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Cheng Qingxue is not fated with the Holy Maiden Temple, but she can still return to the Cheng family. As for the Saintess, she can choose to continue staying in the Saintess Temple as an elder after she abdicates. The latter is easier. As long as she doesn’t violate the rules of the Holy Maiden Temple, it’s a matter of course.”

Although the elder’s status was not as high as the Saintess’, she was still a respected person.

Just look at Elder Lou. She had a lot of say. Even the Saintess had to give her some respect.

Mei Ji frowned. “So, the original plan was to have Cheng Qingxue enter the Holy Maiden Temple and the Saintess to come back to inherit the Cheng family. It’s very likely that she’s transferred over now?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “If I were the Saintess, I would do that.”

“Weiwei! Weiwei!”

Cheng Sang ran out with an exquisite makeup box.

Her legs were nimble now, and she ran faster than a maidservant. Sometimes, the maidservant could not catch up to her, so Uncle Quan had to do it.

She squatted down beside Su Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and wanted to give her the small stool.

“Weiwei, sit!” Cheng Sang didn’t want her to give way.

Mei Ji’s eyes hurt. “Alright, alright. Don’t give way. I’ll move one over.”

Mei Ji didn’t like to sit on small stools. She found it more fun to squat.

She went inside and placed a small stool beside Su Xiaoxiao.

Cheng Sang sat up and moved closer to Su Xiaoxiao, insisting on sticking close to her.

“There you go.”

She handed the box to Su Xiaoxiao.

“What?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Cheng Sang said, “Weiwei, open it!”

Su Xiaoxiao opened the brocade box. It was filled with jewelry and some house deeds.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand. “These are…”

Mei Ji came over and took a look. They seem to be her private savings… so much…”

She knew that the Cheng family was rich, but she did not expect them to be so rich. Just a little money saved up was enough for the family to live for a few lifetimes.

No wonder they could be the behind-the-scenes financial backer of the tribes. This wealth was really not exaggerated.

Cheng Sang patted Su Xiaoxiao’s head. “Give to Weiwei. Weiwei, don’t be sad.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cheng Sang was referring to her not being chosen as the Holy Maiden.

Cheng Sang was worried that she would be sad, so she took out her savings to coax her.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a heat wave in her heart.

Cheng Sang really treated her as her flesh and blood, but she was not.

After she completed the mission in the southern border, she would leave this place. Perhaps she would never have the chance to meet Cheng Sang again in her life.
