859 Sang Family’s Gu King (1)
As the saying goes, one never visits unless they need something. Even if the Sang family and the Sikong family were in-laws through marriage, there was no reason to casually bring a large group of people to visit. Therefore, last night, Master Sikong sent an invitation to the Sang family in the name of Sikong Yun—he missed his maternal grandparents and specially brought his new wife to greet the two elders.
Master Sang had always doted on this grandson and would grant his every request. When he heard that he wanted to come, he agreed without a word.
But—
Master Sikong searched for the entire night, but he could not find the main characters, Sikong Yun, or the Saintess.
There was no need to worry about Sikong Yun’s safety. Firstly, Sikong Yun was the second son of the Shang family, the cousin of the Sang family, and the son-in-law of the Lan family. With his status, no one dared to touch him in the Nether Capital. Secondly, this was not the first time such a situation had happened. His youngest son was not as sensible as his eldest son and would behave atrociously every two to three days. It was common for him to not return home at night. However, it seemed to be too much to do this not long after they got married.
Fortunately, the Saintess was not around either. The couple should have gone out together. With the Saintess restraining Sikong Yun, he was not worried that Sikong Yun would do anything too out of line.
It was just that…
The invitation was in the name of Sikong Yun and his wife. If the two of them were gone, what would they use to visit the Sang family?
Just as Master Sikong was having a headache, Yan Jiuchao appeared with Yu Wan.
Yu Wan let Yan Jiuchao hold her hand with one hand and grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake with the other to eat. The effect of the Lan family’s disguise was still there. Yan Jiuchao was still wearing Sikong Yun’s face, and Yu Wan was also wearing her second human skin mask—her own face.
Seeing that his son had finally appeared, Master Sikong heaved a sigh of relief. However, before he could finish heaving a sigh of relief, he realized that the person he was holding was not the Saintess.
“You… you…” The Sikong family’s head looked at his youngest son and then at Yu Wan. He was so shocked that he was speechless. It was no wonder that he was so surprised. It was really because last night, he only saw Yu Wan and not Yan Jiuchao. “You guys…”
Master Sikong did not understand why his son would appear in the Chaoyang Hall. Why would he be with the ancestor’s little great-granddaughter? And they were so close?
Wait. Why did he feel that the Saintess in front of him looked familiar? Especially the way she ate, her cheeks puffed up like a greedy little fat squirrel.
He recognized it!
This was his daughter-in-law who had gained weight from eating!!!
In a flash, all the abnormalities that had inadvertently flashed across his mind had an answer. These few days, his son and daughter-in-law were indeed fake. On their wedding night, the unruly people of the Sikong family were the real Saintess and Sikong Yun.
No wonder Ah Wan’s face looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. He thought that she looked like Lan Yi, but now that he thought about it, wasn’t this the face of the person who came to the Sikong family that night and claimed to be the Saintess?
It turned out that the two of them had disguised themselves as each other.
He did not recognize his real son and daughter-in-law in front of him. Instead, he left the fake ones behind. There was no one else in the family who could do this.
Master Sikong gritted his teeth and gasped. He secretly told himself that this girl was his biological granddaughter, the ancestor’s biological great-granddaughter. The blood of the Sikong family flowed in her body. According to seniority, she had to call him uncle.
She was his niece. He couldn’t hit her, he couldn’t hit her…
Master Sikong almost suffered internal injuries.
Master Sikong glanced at Yan Jiuchao again. Needless to say, he knew that he was his nephew-in-law. Master Sikong said angrily, “Where did you take the real Yun’er and the Saintess?”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “We locked up the Saintess. She was the one who ambushed the ancestor this time. As for your son, we don’t know where he is.”
Master Sikong frowned.
He naturally did not suspect the truth in Yu Wan’s words, but he did not expect that the culprit behind the assassination of the ancestor would actually be the Saintess. Why did she do this? She was also a member of the Sikong family. What benefits would it bring her to kill the ancestor? Also, where did she get the expert? If he did not sense wrongly, the aura last night should have come from a peak Level Five Asura King. He did not remember that the Lan family and the Holy Temple had such a terrifying expert.
Yu Wan said, “Master Sikong, let’s go to the Sang family first. I’ll explain to you later about the Saintess and my great-grandfather. As for Sikong Yun, we’ll know his whereabouts when the Saintess wakes up.”
