Compared to Su Xiaoxiao, the Saintess, Cheng Lian, and Xie Yunhe were even more confused.

This girl had clearly admitted that she was not Cheng Sang’s biological granddaughter, so why was she now a blood relative?

Was there a problem with the Gu? Or was there a problem with this girl?

It couldn’t be that this girl didn’t know her background; if so, why did she come to the Cheng family to acknowledge her family?

The three of them were stunned speechless.

At the Saintess’ level, she would no longer lose her composure on any occasion. However, this time, she choked firmly.

If it was someone else who had planted the Gu, it could be said that someone had tampered with it. However, that was a Gu she had personally refined. Its effect was more than ten times stronger than other Gu.

This girl was supposed to die from the poison in a few breaths.

The Saintess looked down at the porcelain bottle in her hand.

Was it because she didn’t get the Gu out?

But the bottle was already empty.

Or had it gone down somewhere else?

“That’s impossible,” the Saintess said.

Emissary Lu did not have the guts to lie to her, nor was there a need to.

This girl said it herself—”How good would it be if Cheng Sang’s biological grandchild was still alive.”

“Saintess.”

Cheng Rui stood up from the chair and said in a dissatisfied tone, “You were the one who insisted on using the Gu. You were also the one who personally went to retrieve the blood and cast the Gu. Now that the outcome is out, it’s not what you expected. Are you going to go back on your word?”

Cheng Rui was really not afraid of death.

All these years, he had followed his father in resisting Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian and had suffered countless hardships. Their family was the most down and out in the entire Cheng family.

He actually dared to openly challenge the Saintess. He was really stubborn.

Cheng Fu said, “Ah Rui, this is your mistake. The Saintess has her reasons for doing things. Let’s just watch.”

“That’s right. Why are you in a hurry? The Saintess has always been fair. She won’t wrong anyone.”

“That’s right. We believe in the Saintess.”

When Cheng Lian heard so many people speaking up for her daughter, she immediately felt confident again.

That’s right. There must be something strange about this girl.

“Qingyao, did you cast the wrong Gu?”

She asked the Saintess.

“I…”

The Saintess frowned.

She shouldn’t have made a mistake, but what was with this result?

She took out another porcelain bottle.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with rejection. “Hey, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to do it again?”

The Saintess said with a cold gaze, “If you’re the biological granddaughter, you’ll be fine even if I do it ten times or a hundred times!”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. To be honest, she also wanted to understand what was going on…

She didn’t enter the pharmacy, but she wasn’t poisoned…

It was rare for the pharmacy to fumble and drop the ball at a critical moment. Could it be that she was really not poisoned…

Some things were too shocking. Even someone like Su Xiaoxiao, who had braved many storms, did not dare to believe this easily.

However, this was risky.

If the pharmacy simply to fumble the ball and she was poisoned again, she might lose her life.

Should she take another gamble?

The Saintess said, “Are you afraid? Or… did you do something when you took Elder Mother’s blood just now and killed my Gu?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Hey, don’t slander me.”

It seemed that she had no choice but to gamble. There were so many people standing on the Saintess’ side. If she did not take out ironclad evidence, she would not be able to convince the crowd.

“Let’s make it clear first. Every time you use the Gu, you have to do a kowtow if you’re mistaken! Have you thought it through? How many kowtows do you want to make to me later?”

A hint of danger flashed across the Saintess’s eyes.

As long as the Gu poison acted up, this girl would die and she would not have to kowtow.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “If you don’t agree, I won’t go through with the test!”

The Saintess said coldly, “As you wish.”

This time, the Holy Maiden personally went to pick Cheng Sang’s blood.

Cheng Lian asked the maidservant to light half an incense stick.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her arm. “Do it properly. Don’t act cool. Otherwise, people won’t be able to see your movements clearly and won’t know where you placed the Gu worm.”
