“I don’t agree.”
Wei Ting and Su Mo spoke in unison.
If Xiahou Yi was the mastermind, it was too dangerous to approach him.
“Ji! Ji!”
A familiar bird cry suddenly sounded outside the window.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “Wuhu!”
Wei Liulang reacted quickly and pushed open the window.
Wuhu rode its golden eagle carriage and landed on the windowsill domineeringly.
It puffed out its chest valiantly.
Marshal Wuhu was back!
Wei Liulang was pleasantly surprised. “It’s really you!”
Marshal Wuhu stretched out his small wings and exchanged a fist with Wei Liulang!
Then, it flapped its wings and flew towards Su Xiaoxiao.
It wanted a fragrant and soft place!
Sob ~
Wu Hu was mercilessly grabbed by a cold hand.
Wuhu looked at the fragrant and soft place close at hand and struggled like Xiaohu.
Let go of the marshal!
Let go of the marshal!
Wei Ting snorted. “Hmph.”
Wuhu muttered, “Grandpa!”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Wuhu, where have you been recently? How did you find the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Wuhu chattered. And told a lot about Xie Jinnian, and the City Lord Manor.
Being unable to speak in the City Lord Manor had really stifled this parrot.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “So you were captured by Xie Jinnian and brought into the City Lord Manor. What kind of luck do you have?”
Wuhu didn’t want it either. Wuhu felt wronged.
He had to have a few pieces of bird food to comfort its broken heart!
This time, when Su Xiaoxiao and the others went to the City Lord’s Mansion to attend the banquet, many of Xie Jinnian’s guards were also sent to Ming Xia Hall. Only then did the golden eagle and falcon finally take the opportunity to save their boss and the black crow from the cage.
Su Xiaoxiao fed Wuhu three pieces of bird food.
After eating the bird food for a long time, Wuhu was so excited that he was about to cry.
It was a familiar smell!
Wuhu stood on the table and flapped his small wings. “More! More!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Tell me first. You’ve been in the City Lord Manor for so long, but did you hear anything?”
Indeed!
There was no free bird meals in the world!
In the month or so that Wuhu was in the City Lord Manor, it had really heard a lot of news.
It found out that the guard and maidservant were having an affair. The chef and the steward were having an affair. The accountant was making fake accounts. Who was selling aphrodisiac medicine? The young master’s nanny was secretly eating braised meat…
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was indescribable. What kind of mess was this?
Just as she almost couldn’t stand it anymore, useful news finally came.
“Infant betrothal! Infant betrothal! Infant betrothal!”
“Whose betrothal?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wu Hu said, “Little boy, Hundred Flowers Palace!”
Everyone looked at Wei Xiaobao, who was beside Su Xuan.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Madam Ru’s idea?”
Wuhu said, “Ji Ya! Ji Ya! Ji Ya!”
“She’s so shameless!”
Wei Liulang punched… his leg.
He wanted to smash the table, but he was afraid of waking the children up, so he could only hurt himself.
“Moo…”
His leg was swollen…
The eyes of Wei Ting, Su Mo, and Wei Xu flashed coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao said coldly, “I was wondering why she insisted on letting Xiaobao hold a one-month-old banquet in the City Lord Manor. So it’s because she wants them married!”
Fortunately, Ling Yun ruined the one-month-old banquet. Otherwise, Madam Ru might have succeeded!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Wuhu again. “What else?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked Wuhu again. “What else?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Second Granduncle Xiahou Yi?”
Everyone immediately perked up.
Wuhu proudly puffed out its chest and crossed its claws. One of its small wings leaned on the teapot, and the other wing casually tapped the teacup.
“Bird food.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The night was heavy.
The last disciple of the Fire Slaughter Sect left.
The Mingxia Hall was completely empty.
Madam Ru had a head full of pearl hairpins and was dressed in luxurious clothes. She sat at the master seat that should have belonged to the City Lord’s wife with empty eyes.
“Mother.”
Xiahou Yanyu advised with heartache, “The guests have all left. Let’s go back too. My brother has been crying for a long time. He must miss his mother.”
Madam Ru’s eyes turned red. “What’s the use of him? Let him cry!”
“Mother!”
Xiahou Yanyu thought that her mother was saying it out of anger.
Ji Minglou walked over and said to his sister, “Go back to the Jade Pavilion. Don’t wait anymore.”
Madam Ru thought that she had waited for so long, but on this happy day, she had become everyone’s joke. She suddenly felt sad and aggrieved.
“Why… why did he do this to me?”
Ji Minglou could only persuade him, “Perhaps the City Lord has something important to do. I’ll ask him when he comes back.”
Madam Ru wiped her tears and said with a sharp gaze, “I must be the Madam of the City Lord, and my son must be the heir of the City Lord Manor! If I find out who ruined my plans, I won’t let them off easily!”
It was raining heavily.
Yun Xue was mercilessly pursued by the Qiong Qi.
She had used two of her trusted subordinates to block the Qiong Qi’s saber. She was also seriously injured.
It was obvious that Yun Shuang had sent the puppet.
“Yun Shuang, you traitor! You actually refined a puppet privately and violated the oath you made to Father back then!”
Swoosh!
The Qiong Qi slashed at her again!
Yun Xue was no match for the Qiong Qi at all. Although she tried her best to dodge, her arm was still cut.
She fell into a pool of blood and did not have the strength to stand up.
She watched as the Qiong Qi raised his butcher knife and walked towards her.
At this moment, she saw the carriage of the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Chance Pavilion.
She shouted without thinking, “Pavilion Master Lou! I’m Yun Xue! I know the City Lord’s secret! Today, he…”
The Qiong Qi slashed at her head!
Clang!
A flying knife shot over and hit the Qiong Qi’s treasure saber.
Lou Bufan walked over in the rain and shot three black fire pearls at the Qiong Qi. Amidst the explosion, he grabbed Yun Xue and got into the carriage.
Lou Bufan said, “You better… have enough valuable information. Otherwise, I’ll throw you down immediately.”
Yun Xue weakly covered her injured left arm and told him the result of her guess.
“Yun Xi didn’t die back then. She gave birth to the City Lord’s eldest son, the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace… Yun Lin!”
