ch 145 - Taught Every One A Tough Lesson; Dimension Leveled Up 18 (2/2)

“Mom, daughter is back!” Gong Zixuan walked into the study and smiled tenderly at her mother. There was a slight hint of whining in her sweet smile.

“Oh, Xuan’er is back. Did you two have fun outside?” asked the palace mistress with a smile.

The girl Jun’er smiled and replied, “Palace Mistress, of course we’ve had a lot of fun, but mistress didn’t want to spend more time out!”

“You brat, all you want is to play all the time.”

The palace mistress scolded her with a smile. Even though Jun’er was a servant, but since she had watched her grow up, Jun’er was like half a daughter to her.

“Mom, Jun’er almost cried when she was away!” Gong Zixuan blinked at her mom with a naughty smile on her face.

“Oh, I thought Jun’er had swore that she’d never cry again. What happened that made her want to cry?” asked the palace mistress with a smile.

Looking at the palace mistress’s teasing smile, Jun’er was a little embarrassed, “That’s not true, mistress. Jun’er did not cry. Didn’t I give away Xiao Xue as a gift to Miss Cheng? I didn’t cry, I was just a bit sad parting with Xiao Xue was all!”

“Miss Cheng? Oh, who’s that? Is she a friend of Xuan’er?”

“Palace Mistress, let me tell you. Miss Cheng is Cheng Xiao Xiao, she is….”

“Cheng Xiao Xiao?” interjected the palace mistress, “How come this name sounds so familiar?”

“Mom, you’ve heard about little sister Xiao Xiao too?” Gong Zixuan was a bit surprised. Her mother has never been one who’d concerned herself with what’s happening outside of the palace. Yet she had heard about Cheng Xiao Xiao?

The palace mistress nodded slightly, “A wile ago, I have received a litter from your uncle Zhu1. I believe he had mentioned Cheng Xiao Xiao in his letter. Alright, since you two know about it, tell me more about this Cheng Xiao Xiao!”

“Palace Mistress, let Jun’er tell you!” Jun’er took over the conversation, “Cheng Xiao Xiao’s father is Cheng Biyuan, the eldest son from main line of the Cheng’s in Emperor City. Her mother was from the Lao’s of Yin, they…..”

Walalala, Jun’er went on and on about the Cheng’s like a raining stick. Most of the information were well aware by everyone. Not to mention the additional information that were less well known to most that they have discovered from some of their own investigations.
