Su Xiaoxiao told him not to force himself to memorize so many things anymore, as it was too stressful.

No one knew where the saint had gone that day, and Jing Yi went to look for her, but she has not returned since.

However, the puppet master sent out by Elder Yi has returned.

He failed to kill Yun Xue, but he brought back a token that was torn off the secret guard who stopped him.

"It's someone from Qianji Pavilion."

In the garden, Elder Yi handed the token of Qianji Pavilion to the Palace Master.

She didn't say that Qiongqi went to kill Yunxue, she only said that he went to snatch back the token left by the old palace master, but he met someone on the way and took Yunxue away.

"Fortunately, the old palace master's token was retrieved."

Elder Yi said as he took out the old palace master's token from his bosom and handed it to the palace master.

In fact, she had snatched this token from Yunxue last time, and had not handed it over to Palace Master Yunshuang in order to prevent a situation like today from happening.

The palace master held Wei Xiaobao in his arms.

She took her father's token.

Wei Xiaobao reached out to grab it.

This was the first time that Wei Xiaobao showed interest in something other than the bottle and rations.

The palace master was pleasantly surprised: "You know how to grab things at such a young age? Do you like this?"

The token was a bit heavy, so the Palace Master held the swaddling clothes in one hand and the token in the other, letting Wei Xiaobao play with it.

At the same time, she was also thinking about what Elder Yi had just said: "The people from Qianji Pavilion never interfere in the disputes between the various factions on the island, but they actually took Yunxue away? Are they rescuing her or arresting her? What's so good about Yunxue? But there's nothing to save about her, unless... she used something very powerful to make a deal with Qianji Pavilion."

As smart as the Palace Master was, he immediately guessed the key: "Ling Yun's life experience!"

Although she did not admit it in public, Yun Xue caught Zhong Yan and found out about her fake pregnancy. She also saw all the abnormal behaviors of Xia Hou Qing in front of Ling Yun.

When you think about it later, it would be strange if you couldn’t guess it.

The Palace Master's expression was stern: "From now on, the Baihua Palace will strengthen its security! Anyone who trespasses will be killed without questioning!"

In the following days, several waves of suspicious people came to the outside of Baihua Palace as expected, but they were all discovered and eliminated by the disciples of Baihua Palace.

Gradually, Baihua Palace regained its long-lost tranquility.

However, outside the Baihua Palace, there was an uproar.

The reason was that on the day of the young master's full moon, Xiahou Qing left without saying goodbye. Not only did he not personally attend the young master's full moon ceremony, he also did not announce as scheduled that Madam Ru would be promoted to the city lord's wife.

At the beginning, the wind direction on the island was still on Madam Ru's side, and everyone thought that something big had happened on the island and the city lord needed to deal with it urgently.

Once the city lord has dealt with everything, he will naturally fill the position of the city lord's wife that is missing from Mrs. Ru.

Who would have thought that one day passed, two days passed, half a month passed! Madam Ru was still Madam Ru!

At the same time, a rumor spread like wildfire: the city lord left the young master's full moon ceremony without saying goodbye and went to the Hundred Flowers Palace! And some people saw the city lord frequently going in and out of the Hundred Flowers Palace recently.

So there were new rumors.

The city lord has taken a fancy to a beautiful female disciple from Baihua Palace! Once, the eldest daughter of the city lord's mansion, Xiahou Yanyu, punished this female disciple, which angered the city lord, who immediately sent Xiahou Yanyu back to the Ge family.

The rumors became more and more intense, and even Mrs. Ru couldn't sit still anymore.

"Where's the city lord?"

She asked.

Cai Lian whispered: "The city lord is out..."

Madam Ru said sarcastically, "Going to Baihua Palace again?"

Cai Lian said stiffly, "I don't know."

Madam Ru said, "Pack up, I want to go back to Tianyu Hall."

Cai Lian said worriedly, "Madam, what are you doing? You must not get angry with the city lord!"

Madam Ru looked at herself in the bronze mirror with her delicate makeup and said, "I'm not that stupid. I just went back to see my mother." -Baihua Palace.

Ling Yun had just finished teaching a few young disciples how to read and write when Xiahou Qing came over.

"What are you doing here again?"

Ling Yun asked indifferently.

Xiahou Qing knelt down opposite him.

He didn't sit on the triplets' special little cushion, but sat directly on the floor.

He looked at Ling Yun gently: "I came to see you."

Ling Yundao put away the horrible writings of the three evil disciples and said, "Isn't it too strange that the city lord ignored his own son and came to Baihua Palace to see me, an outsider?"

Xiahou Qing looked at him deeply: "I was the one who let you and your son down back then. You are right to blame me in your heart, but no matter what, you are mine..."

Ling Yun interrupted him: "My father is Duanmu Qi, I have nothing to do with you, Lord City Lord."

When Xiahou Qing heard him acknowledge someone else as his father, he immediately became angry: "Say it again!"

Ling Yun looked at him fearlessly and said word by word: "Even if the sky falls, my father is also Duanmu Qi."

This unfilial son doesn't recognize his father and only recognizes Duanmu Qi as his father.

Xiahou Qing was so angry that he raised his fist.

Ling Yun didn't even blink.

That stubborn look seemed to be saying: You haven't even raised me yet, and you want to beat me up? Where do you get the nerve to do that?

Xiahou Qing became even angrier.

But he also understood that if he punched him, his son would never recognize him again.

"I'll come see you another day!"

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to control himself and would teach this kid a lesson.

Behind the rockery, Wei Liulang said in a tut-tut tone, "Ling Yun is so tough, isn't he afraid of something happening?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I don't know if Ling Yun will be in trouble, but if this continues, something bad will happen to Dad."

"Um?"

Wei Liulang was startled, turned his head to look at Wei Xu beside him, and said in amazement, "Dad...what are you doing with the machete in your hand?"

Wei Xu looked at Xiahou Qing who finally put away his fist and left: "Hmph." - Xiahou Qing got on the carriage back home.

As one of his confidants, Manager Chang naturally knew the whole story.

Manager Chang sighed, "City Lord, why are you doing this? I advised you not to come here."

The Hui people were so angry that they were half dead, but they still came.

I'm afraid there's no one else on this island who can make you so angry.

You said you have a good temper, but why is it that when you are in front of the Young Palace Master, you are like a firecracker and explode at the slightest provocation?

Xiahou Qing: "I am his father!"

Manager Chang: "Yes, yes, you are."

If the Young Palace Master doesn't recognize you, you are nothing.

Manager Chang didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, after all, he didn't want to die young. -After Madam Ru returned to Tianyu Hall, she went directly to Min Ningwan's yard.

Min Ningwan is her and Ji Minglou's mother. Their father, the previous head of Tianyu Hall, has passed away due to illness.

Min Ningwan was fiddling with hidden weapons in the room.

When she had nothing to do, she would study hidden weapons, not for any other reason, just to pass the time.

"mother."

When Madam Ru saw her mother, she could no longer hide her grievances.

Min Ningwan looked behind her and said, "Why did you suddenly come back today? Where's Chen'er?"

Mrs. Ru said nothing and sat down beside her mother in a sullen manner.

Min Ningwan put down the hidden weapon box that she was fiddling with halfway and waved to the maid in the room.

The maid understood and brought down a tray of hidden weapons.

Min Ningwan asked, "What happened that made you, as a mother, abandon your own son and run back to your parents' home?"

Seeing that her daughter still didn't say anything, Min Ningwan asked, "Is it about the city lord's wife? I advised you back then that this road is not so easy to walk, but you were determined to follow him!"

Madam Ru said, "What's the point of talking about this now? I have already given birth to a son, I can't live my whole life without the title of the principal wife."

Min Ningwan asked: "Do you know why the city lord suddenly changed his mind?"

Madam Ru sensed something was wrong and looked at Min Ningwan intently: "Mother knows?"

Min Ningwan tapped her forehead and said, "You, after giving birth to your son, you thought you could rest easy and not ask for any news."

Mrs. Ru admitted that with her son as a trump card, she did let her guard down.

Min Ningwan said: "Yun Xi's son is still alive."

Madam Ru's eyes trembled: "Is it... Yun Lin?"

"It's him." Min Ningwan glanced at her. "Didn't you guess this a long time ago? Now that your guess has been confirmed, why are you so surprised?"

Mrs. Ru was very anxious: "I just guessed randomly before, who would have thought it was true!"

After Yun Xue returned to Qianshan Island, she let slip to the people of the Lotus Sect that Yun Lin was a bastard, and the people of the Lotus Sect told her this as a joke.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

She made a suspicious guess, but later felt it was impossible.

Madam Ru said, "Didn't mother also say it was impossible?"

Min Ningwan sighed: "Yun Shuang, this girl, has kept the truth from us."

Thinking of something, Madam Ru asked, "Who told you that Yun Lin is Yun Xi's son?"

Min Ningwan took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry about this. Anyway, your biggest stumbling block right now is not those adopted sons, but the son of Yun Xi and Xia Houqing. If you want to succeed, you must get rid of Yun Lin! You must keep this a secret from your eldest brother."

Madam Ru was stunned again: "Didn't my elder brother tell me?"

Min Ningwan said, "I've already told you, don't worry about how you got the news. Your elder brother has always been on Yun Shuang's side. If he knows that Yun Shuang has always been chaste for him, who knows what irrational things he will do! Your elder sister-in-law has had it hard enough!"

Madam Ru sighed softly, "Sometimes I really envy my eldest sister-in-law. She has a mother-in-law who loves her so much. Even when my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law are angry, my mother always stands by her."

Min Ningwan said: "Your sister-in-law is the mother of my grandchildren, how can I not love her? Besides, your sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of Qianji Pavilion. I do this for you, your elder brother, and the entire Tianyu Hall. Without the support of Qianji Pavilion, how can you sit on the position of the city lord's wife with Tianyu Hall?"

Madam Ru paused and said, "I heard that the seventh lady of Qianji Pavilion is in love with the city lord and wants to replace me?"

Min Ningwan said seriously: "Don't worry, Pavilion Master Lou will never allow this to happen! He will definitely support you to take the position of the City Lord's wife!"

Madam Ru frowned, "Mother, don't you think Pavilion Master Lou is too attentive? Does he want me to fight with those adopted sons, so that he can benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam?"

Although Tianyutang and Qianji Pavilion are married, in terms of closeness, the granddaughter is naturally closer.

She is an outsider, why did Lou Bufan help her and not his granddaughter? Min Ningwan said calmly: "Lou Pavilion Master and your father had a strong relationship back then, you don't have to doubt him."

Mrs. Ru: “But…”

Min Ningwan: "Well, you should think about how to deal with Yun Lin. As long as he is not eliminated, you will never be able to become the wife of the city lord."
