Cheng Sang slept until dawn.
When she woke up, she touched the little packrat beside her first. One, two.
Eh?
She opened her eyes and counted carefully.
One, two.
It was still two.
Where was Dahu?
Cheng Sang was very smart and had a high IQ. She had already distinguished the three little fellows clearly on the first day.
Coincidentally, Su Xiaoxiao heard the commotion in the room and pushed the door open.
Cheng Sang hurriedly asked, “Where’s Dahu?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Dahu is next door.” Dahu was actually awake.
Wei Xu was putting clothes on him.
Dahu expressed that he could wear it, but Wei Xu insisted on putting it on him himself.
In the end, the ribbon was tied wrongly and the pants were worn backward.
After clumsily dressing Dahu, Wei Xu went to the ear room.
Dahu looked at his messy clothes and sighed like an adult.
He silently took off his clothes and put them on again. Grandpa was not bad, but it was a little tiring for the child.
“Grandpa, I’m going to look for Mom.” Dahu greeted Wei Xu and went next door.
Mei Ji was still sleeping.
His mother was not around.
Dahu went to Cheng Sang’s room again and indeed saw his mother.
“Mom, Grandma.”
He called out to her seriously and obediently.
Dahu actually knew that he should address her as Great-Grandma. Erhu and xraonu didn’t Know. Anyway, tney would greet ner witn wnatever aaclress tnelr mother instructed.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his head in a good mood.
Cheng Sang was also extremely happy to see Dahu. She carried Dahu over and wanted to tie his hair.
Dahu could wear his own clothes, but he still needed the adults’ help to tie his hair.
He obediently went to the dressing table to get a comb.
The three children would be four years old in a few months.
However, Xiaohu was still a childish baby, but Dahu was already more mature and sensible than children his age.
Cheng Sang’s hair-combing was reliable.
There was no need for Dahu to dismantle it and get Su Xiaoxiao to help do it again.
Because his two stinky brothers were sleeping lazily on the bed, it was rare for
Dahu to enjoy the love of his grandmother and mother alone. He was so happy.
His calves swayed and he almost couldn’t hold back the aura of a four-year-old child.
After leaving Cheng Sang’s room, Su Xiaoxiao returned to Mei Ji’s room.
Mei Ji yawned and rubbed her eyes as she sat up. She asked in a daze, “How’s Cheng Sang?
Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Mei Ji really cared about Cheng Sang.
The fate between people was sometimes not restricted by blood ties.
If they wanted to be good to someone, they could still be very close even if they were not family.
And when it came to evil towards a person, even blood relatives would turn hostile.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Much better. Her situation is very stable now.” Mei Ji fell back. “Oh, then I’ll continue sleeping.”
Compared to Cheng Sang’s improvement, Cheng Lian was much more miserable.
During the day, the wheels of the carriage were removed by the new guard, and her butt was swollen.
When she came to the villa at night, she was sent flying by that despicable guard again.
It was the guard who slapped her. She saw him raise his hand.
Uncle Quan insisted that it wasn’t him but Steward Lu’s subordinate.
Faced with the little girl and the others refusing to admit it, Cheng Lian returned to the house to find Xie Yunhe, hoping that he would stand up for her.
Xie Yunhe told her not to fuss about it.
Cheng Sang was in a bad mood, so she was in a hurry to get into trouble. So he thought Cheng Sang had instructed it.
Did Cheng Sang get him to remove the wheels in the morning and say that she was very angry that he had brought another woman out, making him think that Cheng Sang still cared about him?
Heh.
Cheng Lian was extremely sure that all of this was not Cheng Sang’s idea. It was that girl’s!
Unfortunately, she could only suffer in silence.
She was so aggrieved!
It was fine if Cheng Lian felt aggrieved, but her entire body was still in pain. She did not sleep well the entire night.
It was even to the extent that she was in a very bad state when she woke up early. It was as if she had been sucked dry.
Xie Yunhe frowned and looked at her. “Don’t go up the mountain today. Rest in the villa, right?”
In the past, Cheng Lian could not say such thorny words.
She was always gentle and considerate in front of Xie Yunhe.
However, she could not suppress her anger.
“I can’t help it if you want to think that way.”
With that, Xie Yunhe flicked his sleeves and left, heading straight for Cheng Sang’s room.
Cheng Lian was trembling with anger.
Xie Yunhe knocked on Cheng Lian’s door. “Madam, are you up?
No one paid him any attention.
Xie Yunhe knocked again. “It’s getting late. If we’re going up the mountain, it’s almost time to set off.”
Cheng Sang still ignored him.
Cheng Lian was so angry that her face turned green when she saw Xie Yunhe cold to her but stick his warm face to Cheng Sang’s cold butt! Xie Yunhe knocked a little harder on the door for the third time.
The door was ajar and was knocked open.
He pushed the door open and looked in. Only then did he realize that the house was empty. Where was Cheng Sang?
Cheng Sang had left him there… and gone up the mountain alone!
The family going up the mountain together was the result of Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting’s careful discussion.
Wei Xu was carrying one in his arm and one in his basket, with one riding on his neck. It could be said to be very spectacular.
“There’s a small bamboo garden on the mountain. Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu can play there,” Uncle Quan said.
Wei Ting had already gone up the mountain to investigate last night.
The mineral vein was too big. He had only explored the main path and discovered many hidden experts.
If it was an ordinary mineral vein, why would there be so many experts?
Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao’s guess was right. The Cheng family’s mineral vein was not simple.
Cheng Sang couldn’t continue walking. The mountain was too high and it was too difficult to be afraid.
Wei Ting was already prepared. He carried a chair on his back.
He let Cheng Sang sit up.
The mountain path was rugged, and it was definitely not easy to carry someone.
Su Xiaoxiao watched as he took care of Cheng Sang without complaint. She suddenly felt that other than not knowing how to sweet-talk, this fellow did everything she liked.
Su Xiaoxiao walked towards him quietly and gently held his hand.
Wei Ting’s eyes flickered as he held her hand tightly in his palm.
In the end, Uncle Quan couldn’t walk anymore.
Wei Xu put the three little balls down and let them walk by themselves.
The three little fellows were energetic and ran away.
Wei Xu carried Uncle Quan on his back.
Uncle Quan knew that Wei Xu was not an ordinary person. How could he dare to let him carry him?
He was a servant and could not dirty his master’s body.
He could not dissuade Wei Xu.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the father and son and seemed to understand where the excellence of the Wei family’s sons came from.
Wei Xu might not be good with words.
However, he used his actions to teach his sons—killing was not ability. Protecting was.
The few of them first went to the small bamboo garden halfway up the mountain. This was the place where the main family rested.
Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian came to the mine once a year, but Cheng Lian despised the simple bamboo garden and rarely lived here.
When the servants received the news and knew that Xie Yunhe was coming over, they cleaned up in advance. It was quite clean.
There were a total of four bedrooms, a central room, and a row of kitchens. Behind them was a lush bamboo forest.
“To the east is the entrance to the mine.”
Uncle Quan pointed at a tall wooden door not far away. “It’s over there.”
Taking a deep breath, he continued, “Steward Lu, whom you saw last night, is
Steward Xue’s son-in-law. When he returns, he will definitely complain to Steward Xue. Steward Xue has always been protective. I’m afraid it will be a little troublesome for us to enter the mine later.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do they dare to make things difficult for me?”
Uncle Quan sighed. “Sigh, Eldest Miss was stopped outside once. Young Miss has never interacted with them and doesn’t know how domineering they are. In my opinion, we should wait for Master to go up the mountain and let him bring us in.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The mineral vein belongs to the Cheng family, so the Cheng family has the final say.. I want to see how they will stop me outside today!”
