Su Xiaoxiao also got into the carriage.
Her eyes widened when she saw the carriage full of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Wei Xiaobao called out, “Wu wu wu wu.”
Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.
Where did the gold come from?
She looked at Wei Xiaobao. “Did you enter the pharmacy? Did you touch my treasury?”
Wei Xiaobao looked innocent. “Wu wu ~”
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed an emerald bead bracelet and took a closer look.
No, it wasn’t something from her little treasure vault.
Forget it, she would put it into the pharmacy first.
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao realized that there was a person lying on the floor.
It was Wei Ting, who had fainted from the knock.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
“Miss! Miss!”
Xing’er choked as she came to the carriage and lifted the curtain. “Someone just tapped my acupoints and carried Xioabao—Eh? Xiaobao?”
Wei Xiaobao, who was playing with gold chains in her mother’s arms, cried out.
Xing’er was stunned. “Miss, you saved Xiaobao?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Yes.”
Xing’er looked at Miss’s sweaty face and nodded excitedly. “Miss, you’re amazing! Miss, you’ve worked hard!”
Su Xiaoxiao remarked, “It was indeed hard.”
It was hard to move gold.
However, through Xing’er’s words, she basically guessed where the gold, silver, and jewelry came from.
She had been on guard against Madam Ru.
This woman most likely had crooked thoughts again and colluded with Lou Bufan to kidnap Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao was hidden in the treasure vault of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
Then the little fellow entered the pharmacy.
The little guy was still young. It should be just a crisis instinct, just like hiding in her parents’ arms.
It was these gold, silver, and jewelry…
Hmph, what did the pharmacy have to do with her innocent daughter?
Speaking of which, this was the second time Wei Xiaobao had entered the pharmacy from one place but left from another.
The last time was in Wei Xu’s arms.
This time, it was above Wei Ting’s head.
Poor Wei Ting had been knocked unconscious by his daughter’s wealth.
Xing’er asked in confusion, “Miss, what’s wrong with Young Master?”
Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “Oh, he’s asleep.”
Xing’er looked at her master, who was lying on the ground, in shock. Was she sure that he had not been knocked out by someone?
“Miss, I’ll inform the Palace Lord and Ling Yin that Xiaobao has been found!”
“Go on.”
–
In the room.
Lou Bufan already knew the sequence of events.
He really did not expect his wife, who had always been loving with him, to be so ruthless.
“City Lord!”
He said confidently, “There’s definitely no such thing! If Madam bought poison from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, I’ve never heard of her poisoning herself to frame Palace Lord Yun Xi!”
Xiahou Qing said coldly, “You mean your Madam wronged you?”
Lou Bufan said bitterly, “My Madam has some misunderstandings about me today and is in a fit of anger. City Lord, please don’t blame her.”
What a good way to play the blame game. It even highlighted his love for his wife.
Xiahou Qing did not believe that Madam Pavilion Master was such a despicable person.
Taking ten thousand steps back, how big of a misunderstanding did this have to be for Madam Pavilion Master to turn against Lou Bufan?
Lou Bufan sighed and said, “My Madam misunderstood that I betrayed her and had a relationship with another woman. I’m really wronged.”
Madam Pavilion Master was a possessive woman and did not allow any woman to appear beside Lou Bufan.
This was no longer a secret on the island.
All the women who dared to have designs on Lou Bufan had been beaten up by the Madam Pavilion Master.
She did not play dirty and attacked openly.
As for Lou Bufan himself, he never lingered in the brothel. He had a virtuous wife.
Xiahou Qing looked at Lou Bufan skeptically.
Lou Bufan struck while the iron was hot. “City Lord, I swear to the heavens! I have no disloyalty to the Xiahou family. I’ve never done anything to let the Xiahou family down, and I didn’t harm the Hundred Flowers Palace with anyone!”
Just as he finished speaking, the Palace Lord shouted from outside the door, “Lou Bufan! Come out and die!”
Xie Jinnian said, “Godfather, I’ll go take a look.”
A moment later, Xie Jinnian walked back to the house and glanced at Lou Bufan. He reported to Xiahou Qing, “The Killer Slave assassinated Yun Lin at the entrance of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and was captured alive by Palace Lord Yun.”
Lou Bufan’s body trembled.
That idiot!
Who asked him to attack at the entrance of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion!!!
Lou Bufan couldn’t explain anymore, and Xiahou Qing wouldn’t listen to him anymore.
Lou Bufan and the Killer Slave were captured and thrown into the prison of the City Lord Manor.
“Mother! Father has been captured!”
Lou Lan found the Pavilion Master’s Madam.
Madam Pavilion Master said indifferently, “Get your brother to prepare.”
Lou Lan choked and said, “Are you going to the City Lord Manor to save him?”
Madam Pavilion Master: “Get your brother ready to inherit the position of Pavilion Master.”
Lou Lan was speechless.
–
On the carriage back, Xiahou Qing instructed Xie Jinnian, “Go and check if there’s anything else you missed.”
When Xie Jinnian was investigating the case, Su Xiaoxiao was happy to give him evidence. She sent Xie Jinnian a letter through Lu Aotian.
“Young Master, why should she help you?”
The blue-clothed guard asked, “Does she have ill intentions too? Does she want you to fight with Lou Bufan?”
Xie Jinnian said, “I like people who show their intentions openly.”
Lou Bufan secretly told him Yun Lin’s background because he wanted to incite him to fight with the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Cheng Su had given him the news to take what he needed. He had made a contribution, and she had dealt a blow to Madam Ru and Lou Bufan.
Xie Jinnian waited until the next morning before returning to the City Lord Manor.
Xiahou Qing had not slept the entire night and looked very haggard.
“Foster father.”
Xie Jinnian cupped his hands and bowed.
Xiahou Qing asked, “Have you investigated everything?”
Xie Jinnian said, “Madam Pavilion Master was very cooperative. She dug up all Lou Bufan’s private accounts and interrogated a few of Lou Bufan’s trusted aides. More than 20 years ago, Madam Ru did come to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion to buy poison and spent a high price to buy two stalks of Sang Flowers. Even if… you didn’t go to the Hundred Flowers Palace to look for Palace Lord Yun Xi for the Sang Flower, Madam Ru wouldn’t have died.”
Xiahou Qing suddenly clenched his fists.
Xie Jinnian said, “In addition, the eldest daughter of the Lou family didn’t contract leprosy. She was locked up because she witnessed Lou Bufan and Min Ningwan’s affair. After she escaped from the island, she hid her identity in the Southern Wilderness and became an elder of the Saintess’s Hall.”
Xiahou Qing asked, “Is it the place you went to?”
“Yes.”
Xie Jinnian nodded in shame. “I’ve seen Elder Lou a few times. It’s my fault for not being able to connect her to the eldest daughter of the Lou family.”
Xiahou Qing said, “It’s not your fault. You’ve never seen her.”
No matter how smart Xie Jinnian was, he would not expect Elder Lou of the Holy Maiden Temple to be related to the Lou family of Thousand Mountain Island.
He had thought that it was just a coincidence that they had the same surname.
Xie Jinnian continued, “Madam Ru… is Lou Bufan’s daughter with Min Ningwan. Moreover, Lou Bufan took Yun Xue in and has already learned about Yun Lin’s background from Yun Xue.”
In this way, Lou Bufan had a motive.
Many years ago, he plotted against Yun Xi and supported his daughter to ascend the throne.
Many years later, he framed Yun Lin to pave the way for his grandson.
Thinking of how he had been deceived by this father and daughter for so many years, Xiahou Qing was furious!
