After Xiahou Zheng was taken to the dungeon, Xiahou Qing couldn't calm down for a long time.
Elder Li and Elder Liu were forced to drink by Wei Xu during the day, and they went to bed when they came back. At this time, the only people left by his side were Elder Hai, who had subdued Xiahou Zheng, and Elder Zhao.
The two of them looked at the helpless look on his face and walked in.
"City Lord."
Elder Zhao said, "Take care of yourself."
Elder Hai said quickly, "I never thought something like this would happen. It's a waste of all the time that Philadelphia Master has spent so much time cultivating him, only to end up raising an ungrateful person!"
"Speak less." Elder Zhao said in a low voice.
Elder Hai said unconcernedly, "I can't bring it up now?"
Xiahou Qing closed his eyes and said tiredly, "The two elders should go back first. Don't tell anyone about the treasure map beforehand."
"Yes, City Lord."
The two of them left with a sigh.
Xiahou Qing sat alone in the silent lobby, the candlelight was dim, half of his figure was shrouded in the inky black night, and the other half was reflected in the flickering candlelight.
The whole person seemed to be cut in two, flickering in the breeze.
Manager Chang brought a bowl of ginseng soup in, placed it on the table next to Xiahou Qing, and said softly, "The city lord has been busy until now and hasn't had dinner yet. Drink some ginseng soup to warm your body first."
Xiahou Qing has no appetite.
Manager Chang walked over and dimmed the lamp a little.
Xia Houqing spoke with a complicated expression: "He is the first child I brought back to the City Lord's Mansion and the one I have been with the longest. Why was he the one who betrayed me?"
Manager Chang said earnestly, "People's hearts are different from their stomachs. Some people are greedy and insatiable. It's their nature. The city lord should just think that he made a mistake. Don't be sad anymore."
Among the four adopted sons, the one who was most supportive of Xiahou Qing was the fourth son, Xiahou Yan. Unfortunately, he died and the murderer is still unknown.
Xiahou Yu and Xiahou Zheng are brothers, so they are probably not very loyal to him.
Now only the second one is left among the four.
Xiahou Qing sighed: "I hope Jin'er won't let me down."
"Aren't there still the Young Palace Master and the Young Master?"
Manager Chang’s meaning was very clear. Even if all his adopted sons rebelled, at least there were still his biological sons to inherit the City Lord’s Mansion.
As soon as Xie Jinnian arrived in the yard, he heard the last two sentences of the conversation between the two.
The accompanying servant also heard it.
He glanced at his son worriedly.
"Go back."
Xie Jinnian turned and left.
The servant opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and followed silently.
The young master came to see the city lord, but he didn't expect to hear such chilling words.
"Sir."
The servant asked weakly, "Are you sad?"
In fact, isn’t Xiahou Zheng’s feelings the same as other people’s feelings?
The city lord treats his own children, especially Young Palace Master Yun, much better than he treats his adopted sons.
It is a kind of love that comes from the heart. It doesn't matter if you are willful, play around, or even disobey the city lord.
Even though the city lord was furious, he couldn't bear to do anything to his own son.
If the eldest son was replaced by Young Palace Master Yun tonight, would the City Lord still have the heart to sever the father-son relationship with him and put him in jail?
A biological son is only a son, and adopted sons... are just pawns.
The young servant suddenly felt a sense of grief for the loss of a rabbit.
Xie Jinnian said calmly: "I'm not sad." -A quiet courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair, looking towards the sky.
A guard stepped over, saluted and said, "My lord, the eldest son has been captured, and the treasure map is in the hands of the city lord."
Xiahou Yi's expression did not change much, but his dark pupils seemed to hide a purgatory without sunlight. -Su Xiaoxiao had a good sleep, and as expected, she was woken up by three furry little heads.
The reason was that he ate too much last night and had a stomachache for most of the night.
The two elder brothers reluctantly let him go.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart melted before she even opened her eyes.
She touched the steaming little boiled egg in her arms and couldn't help feeling happy: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Xiaohu shook his head in her arms and said in a milky voice, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Su Xiaoxiao patted his little back gently, and then touched the other two little balls equally.
The four-year-old little kid is also very cute! Da Hu said, "I want to sleep with my mom in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "Why?"
"Mom, it smells so good." Erhu said.
"The small axe smells good too." Xiaohu said, "The big axe is qiuqiu! The second axe is qiuqiu too!"
Su Xiaoxiao: You really can’t change your accent…
Erhu said sternly, "Dahu and I don't stink! Your nose is broken!"
Da Hu raised his little iron fist and used his elder brother's pressure: "Do you want to be beaten again?"
Xiaohu immediately complained: "Hit me with the axe!"
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "You haven't hit him yet. When he really hits you, you can hit him back, okay?"
Xiaohu thought about it and shook his head confidently: "Grandpa said we can't fight!"
Oh, then who is the one who flirts first every time?
The little guy is becoming more and more shrewd, and Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After breakfast, Lingyin ran over excitedly: "Second Young Master's Madam! Second Young Master's Madam! Something big has happened!"
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao had just changed the sweat-soaked clothes of Wei Xiaobao who was sleeping soundly.
Lingyin described vividly: "The eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion has been imprisoned! I heard that... the City Lord also severed the father-son relationship! He offended the Young Palace Master, and now you know who is the biological son, right?"
Xiahou Zheng was actually put in jail?
This news is indeed a bit shocking.
However, Su Xiaoxiao did not think it was because he had repeatedly provoked Ling Yun.
After all, what people see is that he is just a talkative person, and he never wins every time.
The city lord would not punish him so severely and sever the father-son relationship for such a small dispute.
"Wait, it's really severed?"
Why is she so unbelievable?
Lingyin said: "The city lord said it himself, 'Don't call me foster father, I don't have a son like you!' It has spread all over Fengdu City!"
This may be just something said in anger, but if you add the fact that he was imprisoned, there is a high probability that Xiahou Zheng will find it difficult to turn things around.
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and muttered to herself, "Could it be the chief eunuch who did it? It's only been a day... What the hell did Xiahou Zheng do? No, I should be more concerned about how the chief eunuch did it? If he really did it, what kind of methods did he use?
"How did I have the guts to drag him into this yesterday? If he got angry and turned around to deal with me..."
Can't think about it, can't think about it! And in Southern Xinjiang, I used the Five Tigers to sow discord between him and the Saint.
I am really young.
Others are stirring up a hornet's nest, but you are the one who has broken into the King of Hell's palace and is sitting on the King of Hell's head, changing the book of life and death.
Lingyin was startled by the sight of Su Xiaoxiao's soul leaving her body: "Huh? Madam Second Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xiaoxiao said with tears in her eyes: "Prepare a coffin."
Lingyin was about to ask who it was prepared for when Xing'er came over: "Miss, Eunuch Jin is here at Baihua Palace!"
Su Xiaoxiao covered her chest and stretched out her hand: "Brother Jinnian! I'm here!"
I want to hug Brother Jinnian's thigh a little bit. I also want to hug everyone's thigh. It's the last day to double the amount. Please give me some monthly votes.
