Chapter 1294: The Killer Slave’s Mission

Editor: Atlas Studios

In the water prison, the Killer Slave had been locked up for ten days, and no one was allowed to visit him during this period.

… No one would visit if they were allowed.

Lou Bufan came to the outside of the water prison and looked at the unconvinced Killer Slave. “Do you know your mistake?”

Slave Killer said honestly, “I don’t know.”

Lou Bufan was speechless.

If it were anyone else, they would have been killed a hundred times by Lou Bufan. The Killer Slave was special.

Firstly, he was strong in martial arts. Secondly, there was something else.

Lou Bufan endured his internal injuries and said calmly, “I’ll give you a mission to kill someone. Don’t disappoint me again this time.”

“Kill who?”

The Slave Killer asked.

Lou Bufan said, “The Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Yun Lin.”

The Slave Killer replied, “Alright, I’ll kill him now.”

Lou Bufan clenched his fists. “Not now. We’ll attack after he leaves the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion!”

The Slave Killer agreed, “Sure.”

Lou Bufan said seriously, “Don’t cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I’ll expel you from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion!”

In the banquet hall, Madam Pavilion Master was warmly entertaining the guests.

The seventh daughter of the Lou family was her most doted granddaughter. Madam Pavilion Master only suggested finding a lived-in son-in-law for her because she could not bear to let her get married.

She had personally chosen her grandson-in-law. His aptitude and character were not bad.

Madam Pavilion Master was very satisfied with this marriage.

“Mother!”

Madam Ji walked over eagerly.

Behind her were her husband, Ji Minglou, and her mother-in-law, Min Ningwan.

Her children had also arrived and had just gone to look for her grandfather.

“Mother-in-law.”

Ji Minglou cupped his hands and bowed.

Madam Pavilion Master patted his hand kindly. “You were injured a few days ago. Have you recovered?”

Ji Minglou said politely, “Thank you for your concern, Mother-in-law. I’m fine.”

Min Ningwan also walked over and greeted her with a smile. “In-law, congratulations.”

Madam Pavilion Master smiled sincerely and said, “In-law, you’re here. I haven’t seen you for a while. I was just about to go to the Heavenly Jade Hall to see you.”

Min Ningwan smiled. “It’s an old problem. When the weather is hot, my chest will be stuffy and I won’t be able to breathe. I haven’t had an appetite for a few months. Now that the weather is cold, I feel much better.”

Madam Pavilion Master held her hand warmly. “You’re just afraid of the heat.”

Min Ningwan was a good mother-in-law. Madam Ji had been married for many years and had never suffered any humiliation as a wife.

Madam Pavilion Master had always been grateful to Min Ningwan.

Su Xiaoxiao sat in the Hundred Flower Palace’s seat with the Palace Lord, Wei Ting, and Ling Yun.

The Palace Lord was teasing Wei Xiaobao with a golden pouch. The little fellow had liked shiny things since she was young. It was unknown whom she took after.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled Wei Ting’s hand. “Look.”

Wei Ting followed the direction of her gaze and looked at Madam Pavilion Master and Min Ningwan.

The two of them chatted happily.

Coincidentally, Lou Bufan entered the lobby.

“Master.”

Madam Pavilion Master called out to him.

Lou Bufan walked over with a calm expression.

“Dad.”

“Father-in-law.”

Madam Ji greeted with Ji Minglou.

Lou Bufan nodded slightly.

“The highlight is here.” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.

The Head of the Secret Service said that the secret that Elder Lou discovered back then was related to Min Ningwan.

Min Ningwan was the same age as Madam Pavilion Master. They were not young, but Min Ningwan looked even more exquisite.

Her clothes were elegant, slender, and her pearl hairpin jewelry was unique.

She smiled at Lou Bufan. “In-law.”

Lou Bufan nodded. “Ah, you’re here. It rained this morning. You’re not drenched, right?”

“Look at me, how could I have forgotten this? In-law, follow me.” Madam Pavilion Master pulled Min Ningwan to her room to change her clothes.

Min Ningwan left and looked back at Lou Bufan.

Madam Pavilion Master thought that she was looking at Ji Minglou and said, “Don’t worry, Lan’er will take care of Minglou.”

Min Ningwan smiled.

Madam Pavilion Master turned around and said to Lou Bufan, “Stop looking. Hurry up and greet the guests. I’ll be out soon!”

Lou Bufan turned around calmly.

Madam Pavilion Master smiled helplessly. “He’s like this. He’s already so old, but he’s still the same as when he was young.”

Min Ningwan smiled and said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao approached the Palace Lord. “Mother, did you observe anything?”

The Palace Lord, who had been hugging Wei Xiaobao the entire time, enjoying the joy of family. “Oh?”

Wei Ting suddenly said, “I’ll go find Dahu and the others.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked.

Wei Ting whispered, “Sister-in-law is here.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s not convenient for you. I’ll go.”

She gave her Sister-in-law a look.

Chu Feifeng understood and said to Madam Ji, “Madam, I’ll go to the carriage to get your clothes and Hall Master’s.”

Madam Ji said, “Alright, take it to my boudoir.”

“Yes.”

Chu Feifeng bowed and turned around to carry a bag from the carriage to Madam Ji’s boudoir.

She retreated and said to the maidservant guarding the door, “I’ll go relieve myself. Guard the door.”

“Aye,” the maidservant agreed.

Chu Feifeng went to the latrine in the backyard.

Su Xiaoxiao waved at her from the latrine.

She turned around and saw that there was no one around. She quickly pulled open the wooden door and walked in.

Time was tight, and someone could come over at any time. Chu Feifeng didn’t dare to delay and took out the half-burnt letter from her sleeve and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.

She whispered, “I found only half of it in Matriarch’s room. I don’t know who wrote it, but the name was burned.”

Su Xiaoxiao held her hand and whispered, “Sister-in-law.”

Chu Feifeng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t return to Heavenly Jade Hall. Come with us. We’ve found out everything we need to.”

Chu Feifeng shook her head. “The letter says that there’s an operation. I suspect that it’s targeted at Dad and the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Sister-in-law!”

Chu Feifeng touched the hair on Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead. “I promise you that I’ll stop immediately when I find out what they want to do. Someone is coming!”

Chu Feifeng immediately left the latrine.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to her seat.

“Eh? Where’s Sister-in-law?”

Wei Ting said, “The people from the City Lord Manor have arrived. Steward Chang called him over. What did Sister-in-law say to you?”

Su Xiaoxiao opened her palm. “Sister-in-law gave me this. It’s Min Ningwan’s letter.”

Wei Ting read it imperceptibly and put the remnant letter into Su Xiaoxiao’s pouch.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What did you find out?”

Wei Ting said, “It’s using the paper in Xiahou Yi’s room. The patterns are identical.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “So, Xiahou Yi wrote the letter to Min Ningwan? The person from Heavenly Jade Hall who colluded with Xiahou Yi was Min Ningwan?”

This was too shocking.

Why did Min Ningwan do this?

Xiahou Qing was her son-in-law. She did not help Xiahou Qing, but colluded with Xiahou Yi.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “The letter said that the time is about to be ripe. Are you referring to today?”

Wei Ting pondered and said, “It’s hard to say.”

At this moment, Ling Yun returned with a dark expression.

Even a mask could not hide his disdain.

“Big Brother, have some tea.”

Wei Ting politely poured him a cup of hot tea.

Ling Yun said, “Don’t think that you don’t have to return my gold because of this.”

The Palace Lord warned, “Say that again.”

Ling Yun was speechless.

Soon, the bride and groom began to pay their respects. After that, they were sent to the bridal chamber to everyone’s cheers.

When the groom came out to toast, the first to be toasted was the City Lord.

Xiahou Qing valued the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and drank a cup.

Madam Ru sat gently beside him, looking aloof from worldly affairs.

Suddenly, the nanny walked over in panic. “City Lord, Madam, something’s wrong with Young Master. Hurry up and take a look!”

There was suddenly chaos on the other side.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped a passing servant. “What happened?”

The servant had just come over from the room and said anxiously, “The City Lord’s young master has been poisoned!”

Su Xiaoxiao exchanged glances with the Palace Lord and Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Yun. “Did you touch the little master just now?”

Ling Yun paused.
