Chapter 849: The Real Heir

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The person whom Ghostfear couldn’t do anything about was Wei Qing.

His other brothers should be beaten up. There was nothing that a beating could not resolve.

If one meal of fists didn’t work, two meals would do, especially the naughty Little Six. He had really suffered a lot from his fists.

However, Ghostfear had never been able to do anything to his sensible brother, Wei Qing.

Wei Qing knew how to pretend to be weak.

He did not do anything and just smiled at his brother. The innocence in his eyes could always defeat his brother immediately.

“Brother.”

Wei Qing pushed his wheelchair out.

Ghostfear could not move his feet.

If he took another step, what if his brother fell out of the wheelchair when he was anxious?

As a big brother, he really had endless worries.

In the beginning, there was the energetic Wei Little Six who tore down the house with his sons, and then there was the weak Wei Little Two. He was also very helpless.

“Brother.”

Wei Ting walked out of the west room.

Ghostfear glanced at Wei Ting.

In contrast, Wei Ting could be considered a normal brother.

Wei Ting had been “normal” since he was young. He was not like Wei Liulang, who went to his room to tear down his house. He came in a coquettish manner. On the surface, he was obediently studying, but he was at least responsible for half of Wei Little Six’s destruction in secret.

The key was that Wei Little Six did not know even know it himself yet.

It was confirmed that Wei Ting was the cla.s.se menace to his brothers.

Wei Xiyue went to the kitchen, grabbed a carrot, and staggered to Ghostfear.

Wei Xiyue tilted her head and looked at him.

Ghostfear looked at the little girl and then at the innocent Wei Qing. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He squatted down and said earnestly to Wei

Xiyue, “You’re a girl. A girl can’t…’

Wei Xiyue fed him a mouthful of carrot.

Then, she let him hold it himself while she circled behind him and lay on his back. She grabbed his ears with both hands. “Giddyup!”

Ghostfear was speechless.

The four little ones kept playing until Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu fell asleep on the gra.s.s. Wei Liulang finally won against his sons.

He was dizzy as he walked.

Wei Xiyue fell asleep on the back of Ghostfear.

Li Wan came over and carried Wei Xiyue and the three little tiger heads back to the room.

“Second Sister-in-law, let me do it.”

Wei Ting carried the sleeping boys to the west room.

Li Wan went to get water and bathed the children.

The three brothers went to the study.

Wei Liulang asked Wei Ting and Wei Qing about their situation. Wei Qing was the same as before, and the injuries on Wei Ting from his fight with Helian Ye had almost healed.

“Are Big Brother and Little Six alright?” Wei Qing asked.

Wei Liulang said, “There’s nothing wrong with us. We just don’t have a pa.s.s and have to hide from the officials.”

They had secretly infiltrated the southern border without any doc.u.ments or travel pa.s.ses.

This had both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that they had to avoid the authorities. The advantage was that he could move freely and was not easy to track.

“Do Big Brother and Little Six know why we came to the southern border?” Wei Qing asked.

Wei Liulang nodded and said, “I know. Yuchi Xiu said on the way that Dad might still be alive and might have been captured by the people of the Southern Wilderness. Little Seven came to look for Dad on a decree, and King Rui is also here. However, he was shaken off by you. Second Brother is here to look for medicine.”

Yuchi Xiu was simply the most talkative a.s.sa.s.sin in the world. What should have been relayed among the brothers personally when they reunited had already been broadcast by him.

Wei Qing wanted to beat him up.

Ghostfear also wanted to beat him up.

He said whatever he shouldn’t say and didn’t say a word about the things he should mention, such as Wei Xiyue.

Yuchi Xiu still didn’t know that he had been hated by the two big bosses. He was acting cool on the roof and felt a chill on his back.

Wei Liulang looked at Wei Ting. “Little Seven, is Dad really still alive?”

Was there a possibility that this was an excuse to accompany Wei Qing to the southern border to find medicine?

It was not that Wei Liulang did not want Wei Xu to live, but he did not dare to hope. He was afraid that too much hope would eventually become despair.

Wei Ting said seriously, “Dad must have escaped from Helian Ye at that time. As for whether he’s still alive… I’m not completely sure.”

Wei Liulang clenched his fists.

Wei Qing asked, “Big Brother, Little Six, did you discover anything in the southern border?”

Wei Liulang sighed and said, “We didn’t Imow that Father’s disappearance might be related to the Holy Maiden Temple. We didn’t ask anyone, only the herbs. The Snake Bone Flower hasn’t bloomed yet, but it should be soon. It’s either at the end of the month or early next month.”

Wei Ting said, “Second Brother’s medicine will last until the end of March. From the looks of it, there’s more than enough time.”

Wei Liulang looked around. “By the way, why don’t I see Seventh

Sister-in-law?”

Wei Ting said, “Xiaoxiao is in the Cheng family.”

Wei Liulang was stunned. “Which Cheng family? It can’t be the Cheng family of the Holy Maiden Temple, right?”

There was something wrong with these words, but everyone understood what he meant. He was asking about the Cheng family, a big family related to the Saintess.

Wei Ting looked at Sixth Brother and said, “Yes.”

Wei Liulang was dumbfounded. “No way, how did Xiaoxiao enter? That’s the

Cheng family! ”

As one of the four great families of the Southern Wilderness, the Cheng family’s status was not inferior to that of the emperor’s relatives. Coupled with the appearance of another Saintess, they were simply like the midday sun.

It was too difficult to enter the Holy Maiden Temple. They had once had designs on the Cheng family, but unfortunately, they had all failed.

Unexpectedly, Seventh Sister-in-law easily entered the Cheng family.

At the Cheng family, Xie Yunhe left the residence to do something after he saw Su Xiaoxiao. He only returned at night.

Cheng Lian went forward to undress him.

Xie Yunhe cooperated and spread his arms. “Steward Pang said that Qingxue came to look for me. What’s the matter?”

Cheng Qingxue was the youngest daughter of Cheng Lian, and Xie Yunhe.

Cheng Lian untied his jade belt and said gently, “It’s nothing. I’ve gotten used to her. There’s no need to take it to heart.”

Hearing Cheng Lian’s words, Xie Yunhe understood what was going on.

He frowned.

Cheng Lian glanced at him and said considerately, “We’ve caused such a big commotion today. No matter what, we have to show evidence to stop everyone from talking. If we really chase her away like this, it will be exposed. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Qingxue.”

Xie Yunhe did not say anything.

Cheng Lian took off his outer robe for him and helped him into a wide robe that he wore at home. She said, “Back then… Sister’s child did die prematurely. She died when she was born. I don’t know where this girl came from. Could she be a p.a.w.n deliberately planted by the other families for the Holy Selection? Why don’t I tell the Saintess to investigate?”

Xie Yunhe said, “There’s no need to alarm the Saintess.”

“Husband, do you want to investigate it yourself?” Cheng Lian smiled gently.

“Alright.”

In the courtyard, Su Xiaoxiao lit a bonfire in the courtyard and roasted sweet potatoes for Mei Ji.

Mei Ji squatted at the side and smelled the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes.

She drooled.

“Is it ready to eat?” she asked.

d.a.m.n the Cheng family. It was fine if they let them stay in a leaky house, but they actually didn’t give them food.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a sweet potato with the tongs and looked at it before putting it back. “It’s still a little short.”

Mei Ji slurped. “I just went out for a walk and realized that they were all talking about the Holy Selection.”

“What’s the Holy Selection?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Mei Ji said, “It’s the selection ceremony for the new Saintess.”

Sil Xianxian was a little Rurprispd “The Sainteqq of the Cheng family is

abdicating?

Mei Ji looked at the roasted sweet potato and smacked her lips. “That’s for sure. She can’t be a Saintess for the rest of her life. She’s not young anymore. She’s ten years apart from than her biological sister.

“Ordinary Saintesses will stay in the Saintess Temple as elders after abdicating, and their status will still be respected. The Saintess of the Cheng family is in a special situation. I suspect that she will come back to inherit the family and let her biological sister be the new Saintess.”

Crimson Moon Opera House had gathered all the news in the world. Mei Ji had her own unique intuition about such melodramatic things.

She glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was roasting sweet potatoes thoughtfully. “But do you know? With your current ident.i.ty, you should be the true heir of the Cheng family..”
