“Dad, I didn’t!”
Xiahou Yanyu didn’t understand why her father’s reaction was so big.
It was true that Yun Lin was the young master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but she was his biological daughter. So what if she really ridiculed him?
Was there a need to be so angry?
As Xiahou Qing’s only daughter, Xiahou Yanyu had naturally grown up in the City Lord Manor.
She did not participate in the battle for the heir of the City Lord Manor. Her adopted brothers did not have to be wary of her and doted on her very much.
Xiahou Qing rarely spoke harshly to her.
“Are you sure you didn’t? Do you want to repeat what I said?”
Su Xiaoxiao imitated Xiahou Yanyu and repeated her words.
“Mother, so people don’t want face. It’s useless no matter how tolerant and magnanimous you are. It’s going to be your City Lord Madam’s ceremony soon. Let’s hurry in and prepare.”
Xiahou Yanyu choked.
She had indeed said this…
Su Xiaoxiao snorted. “You even told my brother and mother not to fail to appreciate your kindness!”
Actually, Xiahou Yanyu was not deliberately targeting Yun Lin alone at that ti. She was targeting everyone at that ti.
However, if Madam Ru dared to distort the truth, she could also process the truth.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiahou Yanyu. “Why? Do you want to deny it? Can you swear to God that you didn’t say these words?”
Xiahou Yanyu was hopping mad.
“Dad”
She looked at Xiahou Qing again, hoping that he could chase away this outsider who had frad her.
However, she t Xiahou Qing’s furious gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her voice choked.
Xiahou Qing said coldly, “Send Miss back to the Ge family!”
Xiahou Yanyu’s expression changed. “Dad!”
His trusted aide went forward with two guards. “Miss, please!”
Xiahou Yanyu said angrily, “I’m not leaving!”
The confidant cupped his hands. “Sorry!”
Xiahou Yanyu struggled. “How many heads do you have to touch ?”
His trusted aide only listened to the City Lord. His strong palm grabbed her arm, causing her pain.
“Dad! Dad!”
Xiahou Yanyu looked at Xiahou Qing aggrievedly.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered casually, “It’s good to have a doting father.”
Xiahou Qing thought of Ling Yun, who had been raised by Yun Shuang. He no longer had any pity for Xiahou Yanyu and strode to the reception hall.
“Madam! Madam!”
Madam Ru was choosing jewelry and preparing to dress up to see the City Lord. Cai Lian hurriedly walked in.
“Is the City Lord awake?”
Madam Ru picked up a pearl earring and placed it on her right earlobe.
Cai Lian said anxiously, “He did wake up… but he also chased Eldest Miss out!”
Madam Ru frowned. “Chase her out?”
Cai Lian patted her head. “Not exactly chased out… It’s just… ordering Eldest Miss to be sent back to the Ge family imdiately!”
Madam Ru asked, “Why?”
Cai Lian said, “It seems that Eldest Miss argued with the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Madam Ru clenched her earring and asked with a cold gaze, “Where are the people from the Hundred Flower Palace?”
Cai Lian said, “The people from the Hundred Flowers Palace are fine… The City Lord is receiving them…”
Madam Ru clenched her fists. “The Hundred Flowers Palace again!”
In the reception pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao explained her intentions to the City Lord. “My father didn’t hold back yesterday. I specially invited my Granny over today to check your injuries. I hope you don’t take it to heart. My father… was also feeling indignant for my brother.”
These words were intentional, making Xiahou Qing unable to flare up.
Xiahou Qing looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at Wei Ting. “Your father and Palace Lord… Forget it.”
It was fine if Duanmu Yun was Yun Shuang’s son. If Yun Shuang was willing to acknowledge him, he would treat him as being legitimate.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Then, I bumped into this senior on the way here. I heard from my mother-in-law that he was an elder of the City Lord Manor, so I suggested bringing him over.”
No matter how smart Xiahou Qing was, it was impossible for him to guess that Elder Qiu, who had always been alone, was related to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Xiahou Qing knew that Elder Qiu had challenged the Nie family back then but lost to Granny Ghost.
However, it was inevitable for people in the martial arts world to have grudges. As long as they held back, there was no need to care too much.
Granny Nie asked, “May I ask where the City Lord is injured? I can treat the City Lord.”
How could Xiahou Qing have the cheek to say that his face had been beaten up?
He said, “It’s fine. I’m fine now.”
Su Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly, “City Lord, let Granny take a look. It’s so difficult for to invite Granny out of the mountain. I can’t let Granny travel such a long way for nothing.”
However, Xiahou Qing really could not show his sorry state in front of others.
The City Lord also cared about his face.
“I’m really fine.” The City Lord hurriedly changed the topic. “Elder Qiu, I summoned you back to Thousand Mountain Island this ti to ask you to treat my second uncle. The dicine last ti didn’t seem to be effective. Do you think you have to change a new prescription?”
Elder Qiu always refused to return to the island. Guardian Liu caught him a few tis but let him escape.
Xiahou Qing knew Elder Qiu’s stubborn personality, so there was nothing he could do even if he was angry.
Old Qiu said, “Yes.”
Su Xiaoxiao said at the right ti, “City Lord, since Granny is here, why don’t we go take a look too!”
Granny Nie said indifferently, “My dical skills are shallow. I can’t treat Second Great Master’s illness!”
There was a story behind this.
Back then, after Xiahou Yi’s illness acted up, the City Lord sent people everywhere to seek treatnt, so he naturally asked for help from Granny Nie.
Unexpectedly, Granny Nie did not treat Xiahou Yi, but Elder Qiu temporarily cured Xiahou Yi’s condition.
Su Xiaoxiao advised, “Granny, that was many years ago. You’ve been studying dicine day and night. While you couldn’t treat many of them in the past, you can do so now, you can’t undervalue yourself.”
Xiahou Qing also said, “I trust Granny’s dical skills. Granny, please!”
Granny Nie stood up reluctantly.
Su Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up.
Good acting!
Granny Nie muttered, “I really don’t want to go!”
The group headed to Xiahou Yi’s courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were juniors, and the two of them followed behind.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Do you think the City Lord treats this uncle quite well?”
Wei Ting thought for a mont and said, “After all, he’s his biological uncle.”
They learned a lot about Xiahou Yi from Mother Palace Lord and Elder Qiu. The previous City Lord passed away early due to illness and left behind a bastard son.
It was with Xiahou Yi’s help that Xiahou Qing stabilized his position as the City Lord.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “One is Madam Ru, and the other is his biological uncle. This City Lord doesn’t even know that he’s biesieged.”
“We’re here.”
Xiahou Qing said.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting imdiately stopped talking and stopped in their tracks seriously.
Xiahou Qing’s trusted aide knocked on the closed courtyard door.
A servant opened the door from inside. Seeing that the City Lord had brought people over, he hurriedly bowed and invited the City Lord and the others in.
Su Xiaoxiao checked Wei Ting’s disguise and was satisfied that there was no problem with it.
Last night, there was heavy rain on Thousand Mountains Island. This morning, the sky was clear and the courtyard was filled with the moist sll of mud and grass.
Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair on the front lawn with a thick blanket covering his body. He was looking into the distance calmly.
He looked withered and his cheeks were sunken. It was obvious that he had been tortured by illness.
His hand on the wheelchair was as pale as bone. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but think of Zongzheng Wei when he had just co out of the mine.
Weak, powerless, and on the verge of death.
“Second Uncle!”
Xiahou Qing called out to him and quickly walked towards him.
Xiahou Yi slowly turned his head and swept his gaze across everyone before landing on Su Xiaoxiao’s face.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was being targeted by a dead person and imdiately shuddered.
