After Xiao Ruyan came back, she immediately went to her mother-in-law's yard.

Nie Jinfeng is pounding medicine.

Adult phoenix birds are aggressive and often get injured. This kind of medicine is prepared for phoenix birds.

Nie Xiaozhu squatted on the ground and played with his puppy.

"mother!"

Xiao Ruyan rushed in anxiously, sat next to Nie Jinfeng, and took her arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I missed you so much after not seeing you for a day."

Nie Jinfeng had a blank expression on her face: "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."

Nie Xiaozhu looked at the two of them.

Xiao Ruyan said sternly: "Just have fun!"

Nie Xiaozhu lowered his head and continued to play with the puppy.

The dog raised by Nie Jinfeng is naturally docile and will not bite people. Its body and stomach are clean and will not put its precious grandson in any danger.

Xiao Ruyan smiled and said, "Mom, do we have some relationship with Baihua Palace?"

Nie Jinfeng: “No.”

Xiao Ruyan said: "How could there not be any? We have been interacting with Baihua Palace for several years."

Nie Jinfeng said: "They want the seeds of the phoenix flower, and I want the eggs of the phoenix bird. This is not friendship, it is a transaction."

Xiao Ruyan said, "Won't we become friends as we get to know each other?"

Nie Jinfeng pulled her arm free and continued to pound the medicine: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Ruyan said with a smile: "Can you help me go to Baihua Palace to get some information?"

Nie Jinfeng snorted, "Did that girl ask you to come?"

Xiao Ruyan said, "She didn't ask me to come. She just refused to leave and insisted on waiting outside for a while. She told me to come back first and she would come back after the rain stopped. Am I not worried about her?"

Nie Jinfeng said calmly, "You don't need to worry about her."

Xiao Ruyan said worriedly: "She didn't bring Cheng Xin with her, and she is powerless. What if the Baihua Palace mistakenly arrests her as a thief..."

Nie Jinfeng said bluntly: "Her puppet was made by the Baihua Palace. Her relationship with the Baihua Palace is definitely not simple."

Xiao Ruyan was stunned: "Is that so?"

Nie Jinfeng said indifferently: "I advise you not to worry about her. Also, that girl has too many secrets, you'd better stay away from her."

Xiao Ruyan couldn't get along with her mother-in-law, so she kept winking at Nie Xiaozhu.

Unfortunately, Nie Xiaozhu was so busy playing with the puppy that he didn't receive any inspiration from his mother at all.

Xiao Ruyan was so angry that she had to leave first.

"What should we do? If she stays there and refuses to leave, the people from Baihua Palace will definitely drive her away. If she doesn't leave, she will be arrested."

Xiao Ruyan was pacing back and forth outside.

"I've already been to the Hundred Flowers Palace today, so it's not a good idea to go there a second time. Sneak in? But I only know a few life-saving skills, and I won't be able to defeat any of the disciples from the Hundred Flowers Palace if I meet them."

Seeing her master at a loss, Yu Ru felt very distressed: "Madam, don't worry, maybe Madam Wei is lucky and won't be caught."

Xiao Ruyan said worriedly: "That's the Baihua Palace. Even the City Lord's Mansion didn't give face. Can Qin Su's luck really be that good?" -Inside the Peony Pavilion, the most shocking scene in the history of the Baihua Palace was being played out.

The palace master had used all her moves, but Wei Ting's cry of "mother" made her unable to perform any moves at all.

Wei Ting’s shout was much more sincere than Ling Yun’s.

When did I have such a big boy? How come I didn't know? For a moment, the palace master almost believed it and wondered if she had really given birth and had lost her memory?

His mind was in a mess and he couldn't continue the strike.

But it’s not easy to take it back.

Then, her waist sprained again...

The Palace Master was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

There is no way this waist can be healed. -City Lord's Mansion.

After the five tigers were locked in bird cages, Xie Jinnian, the temporary owner, forgot to let them out.

The black crow was at ease, as long as he had food to eat.

The Five Tigers quit.

It has to work to earn bird food!

Oh my goodness! "What's wrong with this bird? It hasn't eaten anything. Will it starve to death?"

a maid asked.

Another maid said, "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the master say that Ruyi is very well behaved?"

"Is it because it's feeling unwell? Should we go find a doctor to check on Ruyi?"

"Where is the doctor in the City Lord's Mansion who can treat birds?"

"Look, it's not moving!"

The five tigers lay stiffly in the birdcage.

The two maids hurriedly opened the birdcage and took it out to see if it was really dead.

The five tigers flapped their wings and flew away with a whoosh!

The two maids hurried to chase it, but how could they catch a little macaw?

So they called for the expert guards from the City Lord's Mansion.

The guards brought nets to catch the birds.

The five tigers were so frightened that they turned pale!

Oh my goodness! It flew into a nearby courtyard.

The guards didn't dare to chase after them.

Because that was Madam Ru's yard, they didn't dare to trespass.

In the main room of the Jade Pavilion, Madam Ru had just finished drinking the tonic soup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and lay leisurely on the chaise longue.

Her eldest daughter is seventeen years old, but she still has the charm and beauty of her youth.

She asked softly, "Can the city lord come over tonight?"

The maid smiled and said, "Here we go! The city lord said he'll be here in a moment!"

Mrs. Ru was very satisfied.

Suddenly, she looked at her legs and frowned slightly.

The maid understood and knelt on the ground, massaging her gently.

"The city lord really dotes on his wife. Ever since you became pregnant, the city lord has come to see you every night. Which couple can be as loving as you and the city lord?"

These words successfully pleased Madam Ru, and she raised her hand gently.

Another maid came over with a plate of fresh berries and knelt to serve her.

Madam Ru took a fresh and plump fruit and said, "He came just to keep me company. I am too heavy to serve him."

The maid said sweetly: "That's why I said that. The city lord really loves you. You gave birth to a little master this time, and the little master will be the young master of our city lord's mansion in the future. You and the city lord are the most enviable couple on the whole island!"

Madam Ru said, "Don't talk nonsense. The young masters are also highly regarded by the city lord."

The maid said: "After all, this is not the city lord's own flesh and blood. The one in your belly is the city lord's only biological son!"

Madam Ru touched her bulging belly and said, "My only biological son..."

She looked at the lantern outside the window. "What time is it?"

The maid said, "The hour of Hai."

Mrs. Ru's smile faded a little: "It's so late."

The maid hurriedly asked, "Madam, are you worried that the city lord will not come? No!"

Mrs. Ru threw the berries back on the plate: "You don't understand, today is..."

"City Lord!"

There came the sound of servants greeting outside the house.

A hint of surprise flashed across Mrs. Ru's eyes.

She waved to the two of them.

The two maids stood up immediately.

Madam Ru held her belly and was about to get off the chaise longue to welcome the city lord.

The city lord strode in and said, "Don't move. Sit down."

Mrs. Ru smiled gently: "Yes."

The city lord sat down next to her, looked at her belly and asked, "Is this kid behaving well today?"

Madam Ru said coquettishly, "You kicked me so many times. I don't know who you got it from. You are so brave in your belly."

The sweet-mouthed maid hurriedly said, "Of course, he takes after the city lord. When he grows up, he will definitely be as heroic as the city lord."

Madam Ru said to the city lord, "Look, this girl is better at talking than me."

The city lord smiled faintly.

Madam Ru said to the sweet-talking maid, "Qingju, go and bring up the midnight snack."

The city lord held her hand and said, "No need. I came to see you. I have some official business to attend to later."

Mrs. Ru was slightly surprised: "It's so late, can't any urgent business wait until tomorrow?"

The city lord said, "Take a rest first. I will come to see you tomorrow."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Madam Ru looked at his receding back, and her smile faded little by little.

Qingju was extremely surprised: "Madam, why did the city lord leave?"

Madam Ru said calmly, "Have you forgotten that today is the ninth day of the eighth month?"

"It turns out it's already the ninth day..."

Qingju asked, "What day is August 9? Why does the city lord spend this day alone every year?"

Madam Ru's eyes were cold: "A dead person's birthday."
