“Little Miss! Little Miss! Something happened!”
Uncle Quan jogged into the courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao was collecting herbs. When she heard this, she looked at Uncle
Quan. “What happened?”
Uncle Quan pointed in the direction of the door and said, “Someone came from outside and insisted on seeing you. He even insisted that you’re not He Yuying, but the daughter of a Duke’s Estate in the Great Zhou!”
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.
There was only one person who knew her ident.i.ty and did not hide it.
Xiao Shunyang!
Xiao Shunyang had just met Hui An last night and found out where she lived today.
He really had some methods.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where is this person now?”
Uncle Quan said, “Cheng Lian invited him to the reception hall.”
Su Xiaoxiao went to the reception hall.
Cheng Lian had originally planned to go out today, but with such a big thing happening, she immediately changed her schedule and decided to skin Su Xiaoxiao first.
If she was really the daughter of the Protector Duke of Great Zhou, this would not be a family matter, but a state matter.
As long as the Nanjiang King gave the order to s.n.a.t.c.h this girl’s position as the family head and not allow it to fall into the hands of the Great Zhou, the Cheng family would be theirs again.
Su Xiaoxiao knew what Cheng Lian was planning from her expression.
Unfortunately, she would not let her succeed.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao entered the reception hall, she saw Xiao Shunyang sitting at the bottom.
Shock flashed across her eyes.
Cheng Lian, who was sitting opposite Xiao Shunyang, had been observing Su Xiaoxiao and did not let go of her expression.
Sure enough, they knew each other.
Cheng Lian lowered her eyes and smiled. She asked gently, “Cheng Su, someone came to the residence just now and said that he was your old acquaintance. He even said that you’re the daughter of the Protector Duke of the Great Zhou, not He Yuying of Cloud Water Town. He even took out a portrait. ”
Su Xiaoxiao calmly walked to the master seat and sat down. “Oh? Can I take a look too?”
“Here.” Cheng Lian pointed at the portrait on the small table beside her.
“This isn’t me at all.”
“But the second painting is Mei Ji. How do you explain that?”
“Mei Ji appeared in the capital, so it’s not strange for her to be drawn. Aunt
Cheng, I want to ask him alone. Please leave.”
The word ‘aunt’ made Cheng Lian feel embarra.s.sed.
However, things were different now. Su Xiaoxiao was the young master recognized by the elders. Cheng Lian had no choice but to obey her orders.
Cheng Lian left with a dark expression.
Uncle Quan guarded the door and did not allow anyone to approach.
Cheng Lian glared at Uncle Quan and left with the servant girl without looking back!
“You disguised yourself,” Xiao Shunyang said bluntly.
Su Xiaoxiao admitted generously, “Yes, I disguised myself, but no matter how I disguised myself, didn’t Your Highness find me?”
Xiao Shunyang’s expression darkened. “You really shook me off on purpose!”
He was wondering why it was such a coincidence that the robbers only kidnapped them and left him and his guards behind.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t deny it. “Your Highness came to the Cheng family and did not distinguish right or wrong to expose my ident.i.ty. Was it to take revenge for being abandoned that day?”
Xiao Shunyang said coldly, “I’m not that bored. However, if I didn’t say that, you would never have come out to see me.”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Your Highness, have you thought of the consequences of doing this?”
Xiao Shunyang snorted and said, “You’re the ones who wanted to hide, not me. It’s fine even if my ident.i.ty is exposed.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Aren’t you afraid that General Wei Xu won’t be able to return? Or have you and your father never thought of letting General Wei Xu return alive?”
Xiao Shunyang said, “Only by revealing your ident.i.ty can General Wei Xu leave successfully, right? After all, what right does the Southern Wilderness have to detain our Great Zhou’s general?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “If only things were as simple as you say!”
Xiao Shunyang frowned. “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao confessed, “To be honest, Wei Xu was captured by the Holy Maiden Temple, and all of this was instructed by the King of the Southern Wilderness.”
Xiao Shunyang was stunned. “Why did the King of the Southern Wilderness… do this?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked without changing her expression, “How would I know? Why don’t you ask him?”
Xiao Shunyang frowned coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao looked into his eyes. “I only know that the King of the Southern Wilderness doesn’t want Wei Xu to return to the Great Zhou. If you expose your ident.i.ty, he will definitely guess that you’re here for Wei Xu. Guess if he won’t acknowledge you as a prince and only say that you’re an imposter. It would be an unintentional mistake to kill you!”
Xiao Shunyang had actually suspected the Holy Maiden Temple, but he had never thought that the King of the Southern Wilderness was involved..
