Chapter 1253: Xiaoxiao Attacks

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After Xiahou Qing left the Hundred Flowers Palace, he did not immediately return to the City Lord Manor. Instead, he stayed in his courtyard for a long time.

He thought about many things, such as what happened back then and what happened today.

One after another, they flashed across his mind like meteors.

When thunder rumbled, the first thing he thought of was not his youngest son, who had just turned one month old, but his eldest son with Yun Xi.

How much did Yun Xi hate him that she would rather fake her death than let him know that she had given birth to their child?

And that child. Did he know that he was his biological father?

That look… he knew, right?

What kind of mood did he have to be forced by his biological father to attend his half-brother’s one-month-old celebration?

Xiahou Qing closed his eyes regretfully.

He had hurt that child…

His trusted servant came to the door and gently knocked. He asked, “City Lord, are you resting here today? I’ve prepared hot water for you to bathe and change your clothes.”

“There’s no need.” Xiahou Qing said.

His trusted servant continued, “I’ll prepare a carriage for you to return to the City Lord Manor.”

Lou Bufan left two secret guards to deal with the Qiong Qi while he left with Yun Xue.

In the carriage, Lou Bufan’s gaze was filled with sharpness. “Miss Yun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense!”

Yun Xue looked at him breathlessly. The injuries on her body made her almost unable to move, and her lips had long lost color.

After saying a sentence loudly, she felt dizzy for a while.

Lou Bufan looked at her without blinking, as if he wanted to see a giveaway in her face.

Yun Xue understood that her guess was too ridiculous. In addition, her current reputation was not good. It was not easy to gain the trust of the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.

She said solemnly, “I swear on the lives of my sons that I didn’t deceive Pavilion Master Lou!”

Lou Bufan asked, “Did you hear Yun Lin call the City Lord Dad?”

Yun Xue pursed her lips. “No.”

Lou Bufan leaned back, clearly feeling that her words just now were not trustworthy.

Yun Xue calmed down and recovered some strength. She said weakly but firmly, “But I saw the City Lord at the Hundred Flowers Palace today. He fought with Yun Lin’s father. From the looks of it, he was clearly snatching his son. Moreover, I caught Yun Shuang’s personal maidservant and she personally admitted that Yun Shuang was faking her pregnancy back then. I brought this matter to the four elders, but not only did the four elders not depose Yun Shuang, they chased me out and tried to kill me. If Yun Lin wasn’t Yun Xi’s flesh and blood, why would the four elders be like this? Why would the City Lord be like this?”

Lou Bufan narrowed his eyes. “You mean the City Lord went to the Hundred Flowers Palace again later?”

Yun Xue was puzzled. “What later?”

Lou Bufan said, “Nothing.”

He personally sent the City Lord and Xiahou Yanyu to the carriage.

The City Lord should have returned to the City Lord Manor.

If what Yun Xue said was true, then the City Lord had abandoned Xiahou Yanyu on the way back.

The various abnormalities of the City Lord today had indeed started when he saw Yun Lin.

Yun Xue said, “Pavilion Master Lou, Yun Shuang and Yun Lin are our common stumbling blocks. We can work together.”

Lou Bufan left two secret guards to deal with the Qiong Qi while he left with Yun Xue.

In the carriage, Lou Bufan’s gaze was filled with sharpness. “Miss Yun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense!”

Yun Xue looked at him breathlessly. The injuries on her body made her almost unable to move, and her lips had long lost color.

After saying a sentence loudly, she felt dizzy for a while.

Lou Bufan looked at her without blinking, as if he wanted to see a flaw in her face.

Yun Xue understood that her guess was too ridiculous. In addition, her current reputation was not good. It was not easy to gain the trust of the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Chance Pavilion.

She said solemnly, “I swear on the lives of my sons that I didn’t deceive Pavilion Master Lou!”

Lou Bufan asked, “Did you hear Yun Lin call the City Lord Dad?”

Yun Xue pursed her lips. “No.”

Lou Bufan leaned back, clearly feeling that her words just now were not trustworthy.

Yun Xue calmed down and recovered some strength. She said weakly but firmly, “But I saw the City Lord at the Hundred Flowers Palace today. He fought with Yun Lin’s father. From the looks of it, he was clearly snatching his son. Moreover, I caught Yun Shuang’s personal maidservant and she personally admitted that Yun Shuang was faking her pregnancy back then. I brought this matter to the four elders, but not only did the four elders not depose Yun Shuang, they chased me out and killed me.

Lou Bufan narrowed his eyes. “You mean the City Lord went to the Hundred Flowers Palace again later?”

Yun Xue was puzzled. “What later?”

Lou Bufan said, “Nothing.”

He personally sent the City Lord and Xiahou Yanyu to the carriage.

The City Lord should have returned to the City Lord Manor.

If what Yun Xue said was true, then the City Lord abandoned Xiahou Yanyu halfway and left.

The various abnormalities of the City Lord today had indeed started when he saw Yun Lin.

Yun Xue said, “Pavilion Master Lou, Yun Shuang and Yun Lin are our common stumbling blocks. We can work together.”

“Xiahou Yi is not simple!”

Su Xiaoxiao exchanged ten bird food for news about Xiahou Yi from Wuhu.

She only wanted to give him five pieces.

When she was selling Wuhu a vision of future rewards, Wei Liulang stopped Wuhu.

Wei Liulang was not the type who bore grudges and didn’t habor any ill feelings about the episode regarding the brothel.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Physician Wu, who treats him, always brings him a note. Let’s boldly guess that Physician Wu is his informant. As long as we keep an eye on this Physician Wu, we can trace the traitor of Heavenly Jade Hall and gather evidence of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion colluding with Xiahou Yi.”

“Sister is right.” Su Mo agreed with his sister unconditionally.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. “If we want to protect Ling Yun, we have to get rid of Xiahou Yi!”

Wei Liulang asked Wuhu, “How did Ling Yun hinder Xiahou Yi? Didn’t Xiahou Yi only want to deal with our Wei family?”

Su Xiaoxiao took out two or three teacups. One represented Xiahou Yi, one was the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, and the other was Ling Yun.

“Let’s assume that Xiahou Yi is the mastermind. Although we don’t have conclusive evidence, all the clues currently point to him.”

“Yeah.”

Wei Liulang understood.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the three teacups together. “The daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion is Madam Ru’s sister-in-law. Do you think the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion wants Madam Ru’s son to become the Young City Lord or Yun Xi’s son to become the Young City Lord?”

Wei Liulang said, “Madam Ru’s son.”

“That’s right.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion can’t work for Xiahou Yi for nothing. Xiahou Yi has to promise the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion some benefits, such as helping Madam Ru’s son become the young City Lord.”

“Sister is so smart.”

Su Mo praised his sister brainlessly at any time.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Mo, “Brother knows me the best!”

Wei Ting was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to analyze.

Currently, the main enemies were Madam Ru, Lou Bufan, the Assassin Alliance, Xiahou Yi, and Heavenly Jade Hall.

Xiahou Yi was first, and Lou Bufan and the Assassin Alliance were tied for second. If Madam Ruhad Ling Yun’s suppression, she could be tied for third place with the Heavenly Jade Hall.

The reason why Xiahou Yi was ranked first was because of a combination of many factors. Evidence was difficult to gather, and the barrier of Xiahou Qing’s trust was difficult to break.

She still had to find an opportunity to go to the City Lord Manor.

If she didn’t go, Sister-in-law would think of something.

Sister-in-law had already done a lot for them. It was because of her that they could survive crises twice in a row.

“Don’t even think about it.”

Wei Ting saw her darting eyes and guessed what she was up to.

“I’ll look for Senior!”

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and stomped to Elder Qiu’s room.

Elder Qiu was staying in the Hundred Flowers Palace to avoid the City Lord’s summons.

He was definitely not coveting the little girl’s good things.

“Senior!”

Su Xiaoxiao stuck her head in through the open door.

Elder Qiu was studying the electric baton that Su Xiaoxiao had given him. His hand trembled and the electric baton hit his forehead.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle. He had been electrocuted!

Su Xiaoxiao entered the house and squatted down above his head. She looked at him. “Senior?”

Elder Qiu opened his eyes dizzily and saw an inverted head. He said calmly, “Why are you looking for me?”

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said playfully, “I have a new item. Do you want it?”

Elder Qiu said, “No.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, you do.”

Elder Qiu was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “It’s really a very good thing. You only have to agree to bring me to the City Lord Manor and I’ll give it to you!”

Elder Qiu said without thinking, “No.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked out the window. “Granny Ghost…”

Elder Qiu trembled. “When are you going?”
