"Dad, I didn't!"

Xiahou Yanyu didn't understand why her father reacted so strongly.

It is true that Yun Lin is the young master of Baihua Palace, but she is his biological daughter. So what if she is really ridiculed?

Is it necessary to be so angry? As the only daughter of Xiahou Qing, Xiahou Yanyu has naturally grown up in the city lord's mansion with the support of many people.

She also did not participate in the fight for the succession to the City Lord's Mansion, so her brothers did not need to be wary of her and all treated her with great love.

Xiahou Qing rarely spoke harshly to her.

"Why didn't you? Do you want me to repeat what I said to you?"

Su Xiaoxiao imitated Xiahou Yanyu's expression at that time and repeated her words verbatim: "Mom, some people are shameless even if you give them face. No matter how tolerant and generous you are, it will be useless. Your ceremony as the wife of the city lord will soon begin. Let's go in and get ready."

Xiahou Yanyu choked.

She did say this...

Su Xiaoxiao snorted, "You still want my elder brother and my mother to not be ungrateful!"

In fact, Xiahou Yanyu was not targeting Yun Lin alone at that time, but everyone at that time.

But if Madam Ru dares to confuse right and wrong, she can also manipulate the facts.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiahou Yanyu: "What? You want to deny it? Do you dare to swear to heaven that you didn't say these words?"

Xiahou Yan's tone was quite harsh.

"father--"

She looked at Xiahou Qing again, hoping that Xiahou Qing could drive out this outsider who had framed her.

But what she met was Xiahou Qing's angry eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat and all her sounds were choked.

Xia Houqing said coldly: "Send the young lady back to the Ge family!"

Xiahou Yanyu's expression changed: "Dad!"

The confidant came forward with two guards: "Miss, please!"

Xiahou Yanyu said angrily: "I won't leave!"

The confidant bowed: "I'm sorry!"

Xiahou Yanyu struggled: "How many heads do you have? How dare you touch me?"

The confidant only obeyed the city lord and grabbed her arm with a powerful hand, causing her pain.

"Dad! Dad!"

Xiahou Yanyu looked at Xiahou Qing aggrievedly.

Su Xiaoxiao murmured casually, "It's great to have a dad who loves me."

Xiahou Qing thought of Ling Yun, who was raised by Yun Shuang, and no longer had any sympathy for Xiahou Yanyu. He strode towards the flower hall. - "Madam! Madam!"

Madam Ru was choosing jewelry and preparing to dress up to meet the city lord when Cai Lian walked in hurriedly.

"Is the city lord awake?"

Madam Ru picked up a pearl earring and compared it with her right earlobe in front of the bronze mirror.

Cai Lian said anxiously: "She woke up...but she also kicked the young lady out!"

Madam Ru frowned and said, "Drive him out?"

Cai Lian patted her head and said, "It's not like she was kicked out... it's just... I ordered the young lady to be sent back to the Ge family immediately!"

Mrs. Ru asked, “Why?”

Cai Lian said, "It seems that the eldest lady had a dispute with the people from Baihua Palace."

Madam Ru clenched her earrings tightly between her fingers and asked coldly, "Where are the people from Baihua Palace?"

Cai Lian said: "The people from Baihua Palace are fine... The city lord is meeting them..."

Madam Ru clenched her fists: "It's the Hundred Flowers Palace again!" - Flower Hall.

Su Xiaoxiao explained her purpose to the city lord: "My father didn't take the matter very seriously yesterday. I specially asked my mother-in-law to come over today to check on your injuries. I hope you don't take yesterday's incident to heart. My father... is also speaking up for my eldest brother."

This was said in a flattering way, so Xiahou Qing could not get angry.

Xiahou Qing looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then looked at Wei Ting beside him: "Your father and the Palace Master... forget it."

It doesn’t matter whether Duanmu Yun is Yunshuang’s son or not. If Yunshuang is willing to acknowledge him, then he will be the one.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "Then, I met this senior on the way here. My mother-in-law told me that he was an elder of the City Lord's Mansion, so I offered to bring him along."

Xiahou Qing knew that Old Qiu had challenged the Nie family but lost to the ghost lady.

But among people in the underworld, there are bound to be grudges and enmity. As long as the severity of the attack is determined, there is no need to take it too seriously.

Granny Nie asked, "Excuse me, where is the City Lord injured? I can heal him for him."

How could Xiahou Qing have the nerve to say that he was hit in the face? He said, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

Su Xiaoxiao said a little aggrievedly: "City Lord, please let Grandma take a look. It's very difficult for me to ask Grandma to come out of the mountain. I can't let Grandma run such a long way for nothing."

But Xiahou Qing really couldn't show his miserable appearance in front of others.

The city lord also needs to save face.

"I'm really fine." The city lord quickly changed the subject, "Elder Qiu, I summoned you back to Qianshan Island this time because I want you to treat my second uncle. The medicine you used last time doesn't seem to be very effective. Do you think we should change the prescription again?"

Mr. Qiu refused to return to the island, and Protector Liu tried to catch him several times but he escaped each time.

Xiahou Qing knew that Mr. Qiu had a stubborn temper and there was nothing he could do even if he was angry.

Qiu Lao said: "Yes."

Su Xiaoxiao said at the right time: "City Lord, since my mother-in-law is here, why don't we go and take a look together!"

Granny Nie said indifferently: "My medical skills are limited and I can't cure Second Master's illness!"

There is a story behind this.

When Xiahou Yi fell ill, the city lord sent people to look for doctors everywhere, and naturally he also sought help from Granny Nie.

Unexpectedly, Granny Nie failed to cure Xiahou Yi, but Old Man Qiu temporarily alleviated Xiahou Yi's condition.

Su Xiaoxiao advised: "Mother-in-law, that was many years ago. You studied medicine day and night. You can cure many diseases that were previously incurable. Don't underestimate yourself."

Xiahou Qing also said: "I trust Grandma's medical skills, Grandma, please!"

Granny Nie stood up reluctantly.

Su Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up.

Great acting! Granny Nie: I really don’t want to go!

The group went to Xiahou Yi's yard.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were the younger generations, and they followed behind.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Do you think the city lord is quite nice to this uncle?"

Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, "He is my uncle after all."

They learned a lot about Xiahou Yi from the Palace Master's wife and Old Qiu. The previous city lord died early due to illness and left behind a bastard.

It was with the help of Xiahou Yi that Xiahou Qing was able to secure his position as city lord.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, "One is Madam Ru, the other is my uncle, and this city lord doesn't even know that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"arrive."

Xiahou Qing said.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting immediately stopped their conversation and stopped walking seriously.

Xiahou Qing's confidant knocked on the closed courtyard door.

A servant opened the door from the inside and saw that it was the city lord and his men who came. He hurriedly bowed and invited the city lord and his men in.

Su Xiaoxiao checked Wei Ting's disguise.

no problem.

There was a heavy rain in Qianshan Island last night. The weather cleared up this morning, the sky was clear and the yard was filled with the moist scent of soil and grass.

Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair on the front lawn, covered with a thick blanket, looking into the distance calmly.

He looked haggard, with sunken cheeks, and it was obvious that he was suffering from illness.

His hands, which were placed on the wheelchair, were as pale as bones, which reminded Su Xiaoxiao of Zong Zhenghui when he had just come out of the mine: weak, powerless, and dying.

"Second Uncle!"

Xiahou Qing called him and walked towards him quickly.

Xiahou Yi turned his head slowly, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

Su Xiaoxiao felt as if she was being stared at by a dead man, and she shuddered at the thought.
