Mother, Im going!

Cheng Qingxue got out of the carriage excitedly.

Her face had healed and she no longer needed to wear a veil. Her beautiful face appeared at the entrance of the Holy Maiden Temple, which was filled with people. She was outstanding enough.

Many young ladies who came to partic.i.p.ate in the election surrounded her.

Miss Cheng, youre here.

Weve been waiting for you for a long time. We just want to see the next Saintess.

Cheng Qingxue maintained a posture of humilty. You must be joking. The Holy

Selection hasnt even begun. How did I become the next Saintess?

Who doesnt know that the position of the Saintess has long been yours, Qingxue? Were not here to covet the position of the Saintess, but to be chosen to be a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple.

The status of the disciples of the Holy Maiden Temple was not low, especially after they were promoted to official positions like the emissary. They were comparable to the officials of the Imperial Court and could bring glory to their ancestors.

Everyone spoke one after another, praising Cheng Qingxue.

They could not be selected as the Saintess, so they hoped to get close to Cheng Qingxue and see if they could obtain some care from the Saintess during the disciple selection.

Yin Xiaodie, Yue Qinghuan, and Ji Rou from the other three families stood at the side.

The three of them watched coldly and had no intention of currying favor with Cheng Qingxue as she was flattered.

Sister Yin, I heard that you already came to register yesterday. Why are you still here today?

The person who asked was Yue Qinghuan.

She and Ji Rou did not come yesterday.

Yin Xiaodie crossed her arms. Im waiting for someone.

Yue Qinghuan smiled with a hint of mockery. Your Yin family recommended many more people this time, right?

Yin Xiaodie said coldly, Who said that? Not a single one! No, if she comes, its one.

Yue Qinghuan asked curiously, Whos so arrogant that youre actually waiting here to recommend her?

Yin Xiaodie didnt want to talk to her anymore.

Although the two families were discussing Yue Qinghuan and her brothers marriage, she did not want Yue Qinghuan to be her sister-in-law at all.

She stood on her tiptoes and looked at the busy street. It cant be that she wont come

Seeing her daughter surrounded by stars and a smile on her face, Cheng Lian was relieved and planned to leave.

At this moment, an inconspicuous carriage stopped outside the Holy Maiden Temple.

There were too many carriages. Cheng Lian did not care at first.

However, the moment the people in the carriage came down, it immediately caused a commotion.

Even Yin Xiaodie waved her hand and shouted, Over here, over here!

Yue Qinghuan took the opportunity to look and asked in confusion, Is she the person youre waiting for? She looks very ordinary. Yin Xiaodie asked unrestrainedly, Do you know who she is?

Yue Qinghuan asked, Who?

Yin Xiaodie placed her hands behind her back and looked like her grandfather. She raised her eyebrows and introduced, Cheng Sangs granddaughter, the real daughter of the Cheng family!

Her voice was not soft.

The surrounding people heard it and looked in the direction she indicated.

Su Xiaoxiao was still in disguise. She was ordinary and was not as beautiful as Mei Ji, who was a maid.

However, one could not resist her calm bearing. For a moment, they could not take their eyes off her.

A daughter who was familiar with Cheng Qingxue tugged at her sleeve. Qingxue, are the rumors outside true? Is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family back?

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart.

The mention of the eldest daughter was like a slap to Cheng Qingxues face.

Cheng Qingxue and Cheng Qingyao had been the heirs of the Cheng family for so many years and had long been legitimate.

However, Su Xiaoxiaos appearance was tantamount to engraving the word concubine on her head.

Cheng Qingxues smile instantly disappeared, and her expression darkened.

She turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and asked unhappily, What are the two of you doing here?

The nine-year-old Yin Xiaodie walked over boldly. Shes here to run for the

Saintess!

Cheng Qingxue asked angrily, What right does she have to run for the

Saintess?

Yin Xiaodie said bluntly, Youre the daughter of a concubine of the Cheng family. Youre already here. As the legitimate daughter, isnt she more qualified than you?

Cheng Qingxue choked on Yin Xiaodies word.

Whether she was a concubines daughter or not, only Yin Xiaodie dared to be so blunt.

Yue Qinghuan watched the commotion. Qingxue, whats going on?

Yin Xiaodie chuckled. Sister Yue, you were the one who told me this news yesterday. Theres no need for you to pretend to be dumb, right?

This was the tea appraiser Yin Little Seven!

Yue Qinghuan tightened her grip on her handkerchief and glared at Yin Xiaodie.

Cheng Qingxue pointed at Su Xiaoxiaos nose and said, Shes a liar! My father didnt acknowledge her at all! Everyone, dont believe her!

Yin Xiaodie smiled and said, Your father didnt acknowledge it, but I heard that Cheng Sang did.

Cheng Qingxue gritted her teeth and said, My Elder Mother has been crazy for many years. How can her words count?

Yin Xiaodie sneered. Shes the head of the Cheng family. If her words dont count, do your words count?

Cheng Qingxue couldnt win against this child and exploded in anger. This is our Cheng familys matter. Your Yin family shouldnt get involved! With that, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, her chest heaving.

Dont think that just because you stole a relic, you can be the daughter of our Cheng family. Youre not qualified!

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, Im not proving my ident.i.ty to you today. Please move aside.

Cheng Qingxue sneered. What do you want to do? Are you really going to run for the Saintess? Do you really think youre qualified just because Yin Xiaodie provoked you? Without the Cheng familys recommendation, lets see how you can run!

Yin Xiaodie said loudly, If your Cheng family doesnt recommend it, our Yin family will!

A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Everyone whispered.

The Yin familys recommendation? Cheng Qingxue smiled. If theres no agreement from the Cheng family, so what if your Yin family recommends her? Unless she doesnt partic.i.p.ate as a member of the Cheng family, she has to obtain my fathers agreement!

Yin Xiaodie muttered, Oh no, I forgot about this.

Cheng Qingxue looked at Su Xiaoxiao proudly. Did my father agree to let you come?

Was a little liar from the countryside worthy of competing with her for the position of the Saintess?

What nonsense!

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, Oh, your father didnt agree. Cheng Qingxue smiled mockingly. I knew it!

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. However, the family head agreed.

One moment, you say that my father didnt agree, and the next

Cheng Qingxue was halfway through mocking her when she saw Su Xiaoxiao take out a s.h.i.+ny golden token.

Cheng Qingxue had never seen the family heads token before, so she didnt recognize it.

In the carriage, Cheng Lians expression changed!
