Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 70 part 10

Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar

"Okay, young mistress, will do!"

"It looks like we will have fruits soon enough!"

In the morning shortly after daybreak, Cheng Xiao Xiao was kicked away by her sister's little Lan Lan's little feet. When she woke up, she could already hear noises from the outside. She knew those were her father's disciples by name, cultivating."

Cheng Xiao Xiao carefully pulled the blanket over her sister before she got up, washed up, and went to help her mother some household matters. As for breakfast and what not, there were others to take care of those. They didn't need to worry about them anymore. After a busy morning and everybody had breakfast and back to work. Innkeeper Zhu was teaching the servants and maids the proper way to greet guests.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't leave the house but casually picked up some notes to read. Her mother Mrs. Cheng walked in from the outside and quietly handed her a letter to read.

"Mom, who's the letter for?" Cheng Xiao Xiao was surprised.

Mrs. Cheng seemed a bit uneasy and said, "Xiao Xiao, you read first, then we will talk about it!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't say much more and started reading the letter. This was a letter for her mother. After she had finished reading it, her look was stone-cold. She handed the letter back to her mother and didn't say a word.

"Xiao Xiao, do you want to meet her?" Mrs. Cheng studied her daughter's face cautiously.

Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a slight headache. Of course she knew who her mother was referring to as "her". She couldn't help but to ask, "Mom, you want to meet her?"

"Xiao Xiao, I think we should. No matter what, you've had a marriage arrangement when you were kids, now that your Gu da niang send a letter to point that out. It'd be rude of us to just ignore her!" Mrs. Cheng expressed her thoughts on the matter.

Ever since they have opened up the pathways to Willow Village, there had been more and more strangers coming to Willow. Or, to be more precise, more and more individuals sending letters to the Cheng's. There were never one relative visited previously, now there's a line of people outside delivering letters claiming that they were their father's brother, father's sister, mother's sister, husband of a cousin. Just an endless string of relatives.

Most of them they could just ignore. Even Mrs. Cheng wouldn't pay attention to those who tried to claim they were however remotely related. Except for the Gu's of the city of Yin. She couldn't not accept their letter. And as soon as she has finished reading it, she went looking for her daughter to discuss.

"Mom, I am going to be brutally honest with you. It's best that we don't meet them. Once we've met, you will never be able to get rid of them!"

"But why would we want to get rid of them? Xiao Xiao, she is going to be your mother-in-law..."

"Wait, mom! Stop!" Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly interrupted her mother and said in her most serious tone, "Mom, I am not in a hurry. I don't care what kind of family the Gu's are. I won't be going. I hope you'd understand?"

"Why? Xiao Xiao, I have met Junxian. He's not a bad looking kid, he should be a goo...."

As she was explaining, Mrs. Cheng saw the indifferently way that her daughter was looking at her and stopped but she added softly, "Your dad won't agree to ending this betrothal either."

"We'll talk about it later!"

"You are not young any more!"

"Mom...." Cheng Xiao Xiao felt helpless facing her mother, finally she had to remind her, "Mom, even you have once gave up everything for your own happiness to be with the one that you love. So why wouldn't you give me that chance too? Was the parents' orders or the matchmakers' words really that important?"

"Xiao Xiao, you, you are right!"

Mrs. Cheng paused for a second and nodded. She took a look at the letter in her hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, if that's the case, we will just ignore this!" as she put away the letter in her hand!

"Thank you, mom!" Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved.

"Big sister! Big sister!" Came the crisp, childish voice of Lan Lan from the outside. Cheng Xiao Xiao exchanged a look with her mother before little Lan Lan's little body came running inside. Out of breathe, she said, "Big sister, there are a lot of people outside!"

"A lot of people?"

This was when Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered the reminder from little Yuteng. She was reading the letter from her mother when she ignored little Yuteng telling her something about some interesting people had arrived.

"Don't worry, let us go see!" Cheng Xiao Xiao gathered from little Yuteng's words that these weren't the visitors of the friendly type today.

The three of them walked out into the courtyard. They didn't pay attention to Innkeeper Zhu, who was now teaching the maids the proper way to walk, but instead turned their attention toward the group of people approaching them from the entrance of the village.

Even though the people haven't arrived yet, Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to tell who they are. She squinted and waited for them next to the vegetable fields.

A few disciples that were responsible for surveilling came with them. In the front of them was Liu Danhuang. He greeted Mrs. Cheng and said, "Shi mu, the associate dean of School of Divine Condor wanted to meet with Master!"

Mrs. Cheng nodded slightly and ordered in a soft voice, "Go fetch your master!"

"Yes, madam!" Liu Danhuang wasted no time before rushing toward the foothills behind the house.

Everybody's eyesight fell upon Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xiao Xiao. To be more precise, all sorts of curious, surprised, disdainful, and contemptuous looks all feel upon Cheng Xiao Xiao.

Ignoring everybody's look, Cheng Xiao Xiao's cold and clear eyes looked straight at the old man with long goatee. Even though she didn't know exactly who he was, she could tell he was of upper management.

"So you are Cheng Xiao Xiao?" The associate dean looked at this unaffected girl in front of him and asked lightly.

Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows gently and asked, "Unless your name is also Cheng Xiao Xiao?"

HA!

Someone busted out laughing! Under the cold stare of Mu Qingtong, everybody tried to refrain their urge to laugh.

The associate dean's face froze for a second. He didn't lose his temper, just nodded and asked, "Were you the one who attacked three of our students on the road two days ago?"

"Where's your evidence?" asked Cheng Xiao Xiao casually.

"Evidence? They are the evident!"

The associate dean was aggressive and unreasonable. He stared at her with both eyes and said, "They saw your weapon attacked them, isn't that enough?"

"Oh! So nobody saw me then. By the way, what was my weapon? I don't even know, how do you all know better than I do?" Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them curiously, but deep down within hid the sarcasm.

"Cheng Xiao Xiao, so you are not going to admit to it then? Everybody knows that you can attack people with vines! We can all attest to it, don't you try to deny it!" Mu Qingtong stood up front and gave her an austere stare.

"I can testify to that too! Cheng Xiao Xiao can use vine to tie people up!"

"Yeah! I can too! Cheng Xiao Xiao uses vine as her weapon!"

"Cheng Xiao Xiao, we have all been tied up by your vines! Don't you try to deny that!"

Several of the students who had been to the Cheng's previously stood out one by one and each and everyone of them accused her zealously as though she had committed some horrible crimes.

From the back, Gu Jinxian took everything in as the drama unfold all the while never taking his eyes off the girl named Cheng Xiao Xiao.
