Su Xiaoxiao quickly realized the change in Cheng Sang’s eyes. She called out tentatively, “Grandmother?”
Cheng Sang hugged her gently with tears in her eyes.
An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao came out of Cheng Sang’s room and said to Uncle Quan, who was guarding the courtyard, “Uncle Quan, please go to the clan and invite the elders over. The family head has something to announce.”
“Yes, Young Miss. I’ll go right away!”
Uncle Quan brought Ah Fu and left quickly.
Xie Yunhe asked Su Xiaoxiao, “How’s your grandmother?”
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently, “Grandpa, go to the reception hall and wait. You’ll see Grandmother later.”
Xie Yunhe was unhappy with Su Xiaoxiao’s att.i.tude, especially in front of outsiders.
However, Su Xiaoxiao was stubborn. Even the Saintess could not do anything to her.
Xie Yunhe flicked his sleeves and left.
Zongzheng Wei said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I’m relieved that you’re back. Sangsang is awake, right? I should go back to the palace.”
Ordinary people would have asked to see Cheng Sang first after guarding outside for so long.
Zongzheng Wei was different.
He was a person who knew when to advance and retreat. He would never make Cheng Sang feel pressured.
Even Su Xiaoxiao felt very comfortable with Zongzheng Wei.
Zongzheng Wei took one last look in Cheng Sang’s direction and turned to leave the Cheng family.
In the evening, the elders of the family arrived at the Cheng family’s reception hall one after another.
Cheng Sang and Su Xiaoxiao had yet to arrive. Everyone gathered in twos and threes and whispered.
What was worth mentioning was that many of Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe’s trusted aides had been removed. Because of their relationship, some of the elders who were on good terms with them began to tuck their tails between their legs.
The most glorious person now was Cheng Rui.
He had just taken over a cloth shop not long ago and it was said that he was about to take over a second one.
Many people went forward to congratulate him.
“By the way, Cheng Rui, do you know why Young Master called us over this time?”
Cheng Rui said, “I just came over. I’m not sure.”
“Come on, you’re the Young Master’s trusted aide. How can you not know?” “Brother Rui, don’t forget me. If I offended you in the past, please forgive me.”
Cheng Rui had experienced a lot and his personality was a little smoother. He understood these people’s fawning, but he would not show it on his face.
“Master is here.”
A clansman said.
Everyone stopped whispering and turned to bow to Xie Yunhe.
Cheng Sang had yet to come over.
Xie Yunhe walked over and sat down at the master seat on the right.
The master seat on the left was Cheng Sang’s.
After Cheng Lian returned to the Cheng family, she slept for a day and night. As soon as she woke up, she called the little maidservant over and asked if Cheng Sang was dead.
The little maidservant replied in a daze, “No, the family head is awake.”
A trace of resentment flashed across Cheng Lian’s eyes.
Even that did not stimulate her to death. She was really lucky.
She asked, “Was she crazy again?”
The little maidservant shook her head and said, “I’m not sure. Just now, the family head sent someone over and asked you to go to the reception hall immediately. The elders are also here.”
Cheng Lian asked casually, “Is it Cheng Sang’s idea or the little girl’s?”
The little maidservant braced herself and said, “Young Master asked everyone to go over.”
Cheng Lian sat down in front of the dressing table and rolled her eyes. “You’re using chicken feathers as a command arrow!”
Cheng Lian didn’t want to give Su Xiaoxiao respect at all. After dawdling for a long time and dressing up gracefully, she went to the reception hall arrogantly.
When everyone saw her, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
She ignored everyone’s sizing up and sat in the empty seat beside Xie Yunhe.
She was about to sit down as if no one was around when a dignified voice sounded from outside the flower hall.
“Did I let you sit?”
This voice was both unfamiliar and familiar, making Cheng Lian’s heart skip a beat.
It was familiar because it came from Cheng Sang, and unfamiliar because she had not heard this tone since her bloodline was suppressed for many years.
She turned and stared blankly at the door.
Cheng Sang was dressed in plain clothes and only had her hair tied into a simple bun. She calmly and domineeringly brought Su Xiaoxiao into the reception hall.
The graceful Cheng Lian was instantly reduced from a swan to a colorful sparrow.
Cheng Rui stood up excitedly and cupped his hands. “Master!”
The others also bowed.
It had been many years since they last met, but she was still the family head!
Cheng Sang came to her seat and glanced at Cheng Lian. “Aren’t you going down?
Cheng Lian pinched the handkerchief in her hand in humiliation and mocked, “Why are you pretending? Don’t think I don’t know that you haven’t recovered at all. This girl taught you!”
Cheng Sang flicked her sleeve and sat down solemnly. “Since you don’t want to stand, kneel down!”
“You!”
Before Cheng Lian could mock her, Mei Ji walked over and pulled Cheng Lian down, kicking her knee.
Cheng Lian fell to her knees in pain.
“Madam.”
Xie Yunhe said gently.
Cheng Sang did not look at him and only raised her hand to signal him to shut up.
Xie Yunhe was snubbed.
However, when he thought about how Cheng Lian had been treated, he was relieved he could at least sit beside her.
In the future, he would disregard Cheng Lian and grow old with her.
Cheng Sang said calmly to Cheng Lian, “Kneel here. I’ll settle your score after I’m done with the room.”
Cheng Lian gritted her teeth.
Mei Ji crossed her arms and stared at her.
If she dared to get up, she would beat her up!
Cheng Sang stretched out her hand and Su Xiaoxiao handed her a doc.u.ment. “Grandmother, here.”
Xie Yunhe glanced at it and asked curiously, “Madam, why did you take this
Cheng Sang still did not answer him. Instead, she showed the doc.u.ment to the elders present. “This is my marriage contract with Xie Yunhe. Today, please bear witness. This marriage contract is now invalid! Xie Yunhe and I are no longer husband and wife!”
Xie Yunhe’s expression changed. “You want to separate from me?”
Cheng Sang looked at him coldly and said domineeringly, “It’s not a separation.. It’s divorce!”
