Chapter 946 - 946: Warmth, Dropped Cover (2)

This young master looked gentle and harmless, but for some reason, his indifferent gaze and expression were inexplicably terrifying. After changing the dressing, Su Xuan lay on his side and fell asleep.

At midnight, he felt thirsty and called for water.

There was a clatter of kicks from the table, as if someone had accidentally knocked over a cup and a stool.

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong and opened his eyes to take a look.

Princess Hui An held a cup of warm water and was very careful not to spill it.

Su Xuan was slightly stunned and asked coldly, ‘Why are you here?”

Princess Hui An said nimbly, “I came to see you.”

Su Xuan said, “Didn’t I ask you to leave?”

Princess Hui An said, “I left, but you went to look for me tonight, so I came back!”

Su Xuan said calmly, “I didn’t look for you.”

“I know it was you,” Princess Hui An whispered. “Don’t worry, I didn’t tell my sidekick. Have some water. Aren’t you thirsty?”

Su Xuan said, “I’m not thirsty anymore.”

Princess Hui An lay at the head of the bed, inches away from him. She pointed at his dry lips. “Your lips are already so dry. It would be strange if you weren’t thirsty.”

Her fingertips were as thin as green onions, almost touching his lips.

“Are you unable to get up? I’ll get a spoon to feed you!” Princess Hui An said and was about to get up.

Su Xuan said, “Give me the water.”

Princess Hui An handed him the cup of water.

He propped himself up on his elbows and took the cup of water with his other hand to drink.

Princess Hui An said happily, “Thank you.”

Su Xuan replied calmly, “I was just entrusted by someone.”

Princess Hui An didn’t answer.

Su Xuan paused for a moment before adding, “If you want to thank someone, thank my sister…”

Before he could finish, Su Xuan felt his palm sink.

Princess Hui An was too sleepy and had not slept all night. She could not hold on anymore.

She was like a chick pecking at the rice; her cheek was pressing into his palm.

Her soft face carried the coldness of the night wind and branded his hot palm.

Su Xuan looked at the dark ceiling.

There was silence, except for her even breathing, which echoed in his ears.

Princess Hui An was sent here by Mei Ji.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Mei Ji used her movement technique to return to the Cheng family.

Two days later, Uncle Quan found Su Xiaoxiao.

“Miss, I’ve got it!”

“Oh?” Su Xiaoxiao put down the half-baked herbs in the courtyard. “What is it?”

There was no one in the courtyard at this moment, so Uncle Quan did not have to hide.

He took out a letter and a small wooden box.

“When the Saintess was first appointed, her status was not stable enough and she did not go home often. When she missed home, she wrote a few letters and asked someone to bring them back. I found a letter from the Saintess.”

He said it very easily, but Su Xiaoxiao understood that it must have taken a Herculean effort to get the Saintess’ letter.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the wooden box. Inside was a silver safety lock with the name of the Holy Maiden engraved on the back—Qingyao.

The safety lock was worn when she was a baby. It was old and its color was dark.

But it didn’t matter. As long as it was the Saintess’s personal item, no matter how old it was, it was fine.

Su Xiaoxiao called Yuchi Xiu over and asked him to hand two things to Wei Ting.

She had deeply experienced Wei Tings ability to imitate handwriting. He could create something that even the person involved could not tell.

The physical evidence was basically settled. Next was Xie Jinnian as the personal witness.

She had to think about it carefully.

There was only one chance. If she failed, Xie Jinnian, as her trump card would be useless.

Thinking of something, Uncle Quan asked, “Miss, you said last time that you wanted to go to the mine to take a look. Have you decided on a good day?” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh right, there’s also the mineral mine.”

Recently, she had been busy dealing with the Saintess and almost neglected the Cheng family’s economic power.

The Saintess had to be dealt with, and the power of the Cheng family had to be taken back.

Otherwise, even if the Saintess fell, Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe would still have the support of the two tribes. They still had the ability to challenge Cheng Sang and her.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “Temporarily three days later.”

Uncle Quan said, “I’ll go prepare.”

Ever since Xiao Shunyang saw Hui An that night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

It was impossible for Hui An to go on the streets alone, even if there were secret guards protecting her.

Who did Hui An come to the southern border with?

Could it be—

Xiao Shunyang thought of Wei Ting and the others, who had lost contact with him.

If they met up, everything would make sense.

But how did they enter the capital of the Southern Wilderness without a travel pass?

Just as he was thinking hard, the storyteller in the guest hall told an anecdote of Miss Cheng coming to look for her family. He also mentioned her fiancé and stepson triplets.

Triplets?

He threw a gold ingot to the storyteller from the second floor. “How old are the triplets? Are they male or female?”

The storyteller chuckled and said, “Sons! About three or four years old!”

It all matched.

Xiao Shunyang did not believe that triplets were everywhere.

He immediately asked about the Cheng family’s whereabouts.

In the evening, he found the Cheng family.

He was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary aura.

The servant guarding the door was still polite. “Who are you looking for?”

Xiao Shunyang said, “I’m looking for Miss Cheng, the one who came to look for her family a few days ago.”

“Someone is looking for her again?”

This servant was the unlucky person who had been beaten up by the Wuhu’s golden eagle lackey last time.

This time, he did not dare to chase him away.

Just as he was about to go in and inform Su Xiaoxiao, Cheng Lian came out with her maidservant.

“What’s wrong?” Cheng Lian asked.

The servant hurriedly said, “A young noble young master came from outside and said that he was looking for Young Master.”

“Young master?”

Cheng Lian looked out.

He was a talented man with an imposing appearance and a noble aura.

Cheng Lian came to the door and asked Xiao Shunyang, “Who are you? Why are you looking for Cheng Su?”

Xiao Shunyang frowned and said, “Is her name Cheng Su?”

Qin Su, Cheng Su.

Could it be a coincidence?

Cheng Lian sneered. “Don’t you know that her name is Cheng Su? Ah, that’s true. Her original name was He Yuying. Who are you to her?”

Xiao Shunyang could tell that this person was not on good terms with Miss Cheng.

Her disgust was almost written all over her face.

Xiao Shunyang was not Xiao Duye. He was smart.

Cheng Lian was clearly a Madam of the residence.

However, she must not be the First Madam of the Cheng family. Otherwise, she would not be so disdainful of “Cheng Su”.

This person would not cover up for Cheng Su, Xiao Shunyang concluded.

Xiao Shunyang took out a few portraits.

He opened the first one. “Is this her?”

Cheng Lian smiled. “She’s not so good-looking.”

At the mention of this, Cheng Lian inexplicably felt superior.

So what if she was the young master? Even the toes of her two daughters were better looking than her!

“What about this?”

Xiao Shunyang opened the second portrait.

Cheng Lian took a closer look. “This is her maidservant. What’s her name… Mei

Mei Ji!

Xiao Shunyang was certain that Cheng Su was the person he was looking for!

“Who are you?” Cheng Lian asked.

Xiao Shunyang said, “You should ask her who she is!”

Cheng Lian looked at Xiao Shunyang suspiciously. “Who is she?”

Xiao Shunyang said seriously, “Her name is Qin Su. She’s the daughter of the

Protector Duke of the Great Zhou..”
