Cheng Guanyue got off the carriage and walked a few steps, but was praised by them. She could not help but feel puzzled.

She followed what Aunt Zhang had taught her, walking obediently without adding anything else.

Furthermore, he was walking at the same pace as them, so there shouldn't be a need for such praise, right?

When Aunt Zhang and the Li mama heard Cheng Xiuhua and Wei Yanran's conversation, they immediately gave them meaningful glances, signalling them to be silent and not continue speaking.

Cheng Xiuhua lowered her head when the two mama looked at her, and stuck out her tongue at the same time.

Look at her crappy memory, she had actually forgotten the advice Li mama had given her on the carriage.

Wei Yanran shifted her gaze away in embarrassment and looked towards the main entrance of the house of the Marquis.

It was all her fault, but she insisted on talking to Cheng Xiuhua, which caused Sister Xiuhua to be scolded by the two senior servants once again.

Cheng Fengyue and Su Chunmei got off the carriage before the two of them, then stood in front of them with expressions filled with apprehension and excitement.

She had been looking forward to this day, the day when she would return to the capital to reunite with her ancestors.

As for Cheng Yingwu, Cheng Shenyong, and the other two, they were standing together. Not too much emotion appeared on their faces, as if it was a very normal thing.

Seeing that, Cheng Guan Yue reckoned that Cheng Weiwu was moved by the Cheng Yingwu brothers' calm demeanor.

This was the reason why he was able to suppress his nervousness to the point where he was trying his best to act normal. However, his bright eyes were still filled with curiosity and joy.

Maybe he was really looking forward to the opportunity that would come to the Cheng family.

"I guess you two are the descendants of Master Cheng Wenzhi, my house is here, and I have been waiting for you two for a long time, please come with me!"

An old eunuch, about sixty-seven years old, with a pink-white and wrinkled face, saw them alight from the carriage and walked slowly towards them, pointing at them with his fingers pointing at the corner door to their right as he spoke in a low voice.

Clearly, this was to let them take a side path, meaning that they could not enter the palace in broad daylight.

"Eunuch Xi, what do you mean by that? If the gate doesn't leave and our master is forced to go through the side doors, could it be that you are deliberately making things difficult for us? " Li mama and Aunt Zhang were the first to ask.

"Since when did our family deliberately make things difficult for you? It's just that your master is still in the Cheng Family's family tree, so naturally, we're not from the Cheng Family. Why would we talk about entering the residence in the name of justice?" Eunuch Xi's posture was high and his expression stern. Even though his eyelids were old enough to cover his eyes, his eyes still carried a little disdain and scorn.

It was clear that they were looking down on Cheng Fengyue and the others.

"Eunuch Xi, don't forget that you are a servant. No matter how arrogant and conceited you are, you will never be able to surpass Master." Li mama had an impetuous temper, she had never seen such an arrogant servant.

Even the eunuch by the emperor's side would not use such a tone or attitude to speak to him.

"Yes, we are servants, but we only listen to Eldest Princess's words, and we have also told you guys before, your master does not enter the family tree for one day, so he can't be considered as a member of the Cheng family. "So, don't try to put on airs here. If you have the ability, please send an imperial edict saying that you must enter through the main entrance. Otherwise, don't spout nonsense here." Eunuch Xi was an old man who had been by Eldest Princess's side since childhood. Other than her orders and instructions, he really wouldn't be humble and respectful to anyone else.

"Eunuch Xi, this means that it's the intention of His Highness Eldest Princess?" Aunt Zhang waited for him to finish speaking, and then instantly answered.

"Does this have anything to do with you? If you know what's good for you, then come with me! We won't make things too difficult for you. " Eunuch Xi's arrogant attitude, was as if he did not put them in his eyes.

However, old man Jiang was still spicier. When he heard Aunt Zhang asking if this was Eldest Princess's order, he immediately laughed.

It meant that he still knew what to say and what not to say.

"Then Eunuch Xi, please receive the decree!" Aunt Zhang said to him as she took out the imperial edict from her waist.

In an instant, everyone knelt down and loudly shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live the Emperor!"

Although Eunuch Xi was somewhat shocked, he quickly reacted.

Presumably, this edict was written by that fellow Wei Shengxiao!

Indeed, the Cheng family was incredibly crafty and had actually taken advantage of the eunuch prince.

"Eunuch Xi, you have received this imperial edict." Aunt Zhang emphasized her tone, her expression extremely serious.

Fortunately, Wei Shengxiao had thought of this earlier that they would not give up, thus he wrote such an imperial edict ahead of time just to resolve their predicament.

Aunt Zhang was his wet nurse, and could be considered one of his trusted aides. Of course, giving her the imperial edict was the safest, at least it represented his own opinion.

After Eunuch Xi heard this, he unwillingly accepted it.

"So it's like that, then ask someone to bring our master to the Cheng Family Ancestral Hall, and we will specially wait there for Marquis Cheng." Aunt Zhang knew that at this time, Marquis Cheng was still in the morning assembly.

Therefore, Eunuch Xi planned to wait for them here.

Furthermore, if they had really entered the side door like Eunuch Xi had said, then even if they were to be written in the Cheng Clan's genealogy, there would be people who would say that their names were not proper and that they did not make sense.

"Men, take them all to the Cheng Family's ancestral hall." Although Eunuch Xi did not succeed in making things difficult, and was still full of anger, there was still a lot of time in the future, and he had no choice but to keep fighting with them.

"Then, I thank Eunuch Xi." After all, she was not only Wei Shengxiao's wet nurse. Before this, she was also the Palace Mistress who was in charge of many things.

Later, when the empress dowager was in charge of the Six Palaces, she released the palace and married a rich family, giving birth to a son.

Her son died of a serious illness just over a month after his birth, just in time to catch the drought. As a result, her whole family died, leaving her alone.

She had no choice but to find the palace maid by the empress dowager's side and ask her questions. Seeing that she was a pitiful person, the empress dowager then recommended her to the empress dowager.

It just so happened that the empress dowager was worried that she wouldn't be able to find a reliable wet nurse, so she chose Aunt Zhang.

Although she was a bit unlucky, the empress dowager didn't mind.

Let her wholeheartedly stay by Wei Shengxiao's side to serve him.

In the end, Wei Shengxiao, who had never liked drinking milk, ended up being fated with Aunt Zhang. Not only did he drink milk on time, he also didn't cry at all.

Since Aunt Zhang was a lonely person, and her own son had died early, she had even more so taken care of Wei Shengxiao as if he were her own biological child.

Therefore, she had experienced much. When dealing with cunning and deep people like Eunuch Xi, she wouldn't be forced to retreat continuously by him.
