Chapter 427 – The Truth; Lots of Troubles (1)
If Gong Zixuan was as beautiful as a fairy, then her mother’s beauty was definitely unrivaled!
The noble woman had on a light green palace outfit, with embroidery of blue peonies on the sleeves and a few lucky clouds with silver threads. In the front, wrapped around her chest area were light yellow brocade. Her long skirt flowed when she walked and her demeanor was too elegant for a commoner to even look at.

Her hair was fully body and on her bun behind her head was a jade hairpin in the image of a dragon and a phoenix. Her brows were thin and shapely. She was so raceful and charming that even without much makeup she exuded a natural elegant and noble aura. Cheng Xiao Xiao must say that this Mrs. Gong was unbelievably attractive.
If she must say, perhaps her shi mu could measure up to her. Her mother was a beautiful woman as well, but, unfortunately, she had worked and worried too much in the past ten years and lacked the maintenances and nourishments. She was not able to measure up to her shi mu or this pretty woman standing in front of her right now.
“You are Xiao Xiao?”
Mrs. Gong looked Cheng Xiao Xiao in her eyes as she was eying her then nodded and said, “Yes, you are a good girl!”
“Greetings, Aunty, from Xiao Xiao!” Cheng Xiao Xiao gave her a tender smile and curtsied. “Aunty is so pretty and Xiao Xiao was dazzled. I thought you are the sister of big sister Zixuan!”
“What a sweet mouth you got, young lady!” All women love to hear that they looked young and pretty , even beautiful ones.
Delighted, Mrs. Gong pulled Cheng Xiao Xiao toward her and studied her carefully before she smiled and said, “You are not bad either, quite graceful yourself. Our little Xuanzun had really found himself a good wife!”
“Thank you, pretty Aunty!” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
“Your mouth is so sweet, no wonder you have little Xuanzun fooled!” Mrs. Gong couldn’t help but covered her mouth and smile. The more she looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao, the more she thought she was more interesting than her very quiet daughter.
“Here’s where you are wrong, pretty Aunty!” Cheng Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and said, “It was him who had me fooled, okay? I’d never fool anyone!”
“You are both equally bad!” Suddenly, Gong Zixuan couldn’t help but interjected.
Cheng Xiao Xiao casted her a sidelong glance, smiled and said, “Big sister Zixuan, are you retaliating me for something else that I have done~~?”
“Nonsense! Why would I…..” said Gong Zixuan as her cheeks turned red and she quickly kept her mouth shut. She gave Cheng Xiao Xiao a look at the same time warning her to not leak her secret!
“HOHOHO….” Cheng Xiao Xiao chuckled. She knew Mrs. Gong did not know about Gong Zixuan’s little secret.
Naturally, Mrs. Gong caught all the exchanges between the two girls. She didn’t comment any further but simply changed the subject, “Where is your shi mu and Mrs. Cheng?”
“Oh, pretty Aunty, my master, shi mu, and my mom took off to a certain place temporarily and won’t be back for a while. I apologize, pretty Aunty, for having you wait for their return!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a little apologetic but, no matter what, the only one that could be a host for them in the family was herself. Her father came by, greeted them, and took off.
“Took off?”
Mrs. Gong wasn’t someone who would let her off the hook so easily. Her pretty eyes flickered a couple of times and she reached out her hand and touched Cheng Xiao Xiao on her forehead before saying to her, “Young lady, are you really trying to hide it form your aunty? Do you really want your aunty to teach you a lesson before you will tell her the truth?”
“Pretty Aunty….” Said Cheng Xiao Xiao in a spoiled voice, hoping to muddle through!
Mrs. Gong lifted her limpid eyes and let our a low hrmph, “You better tell me now. You are not going anywhere otherwise!”
“I am telling the truth, pretty Aunty!”
“Hmmmmmmmm…..”
