The Deputy Hall Master was not so lucky. After smashing the plaque of Heavenly Jade Hall, he fell onto the steps in a sorry state and rolled down without any dignity.
Seeing that the plaque was about to fall to the ground, a tall and mighty figure suddenly flashed out of the Heavenly Jade Hall and hung the plaque back.
He landed in front of the vice hall master and looked at the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage with a burning gaze.
“Hall Master…
The Deputy Hall Master covered his chest and cried out with difficulty. The man said coldly, “Hurry up and help the Deputy Hall Master up.”
The disciple suddenly came back to his senses and quickly walked down the steps to help the injured Deputy Hall Master up.
Wei Ting said, “He’s…”
The Palace Lord replied to her son, “Heavenly Jade Hall’s Hall Master, Ji Minglou.”
Ji Minglou said in a low voice, “The Heavenly Jade Hall and the Hundred
Flowers Palace stay in our respective lanes. Why are you causing trouble in the
Heavenly Jade Hall today?”
The Palace Lord said mockingly, “What a good sentence to stay in our respective lanes. Ji Minglou, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning by saying this? How many things has your Heavenly Jade Hall done to the Hundred Flowers Palace? Do you want me to count them all for you? Or are you old and your memory isn’t good? Then why don’t you quickly abdicate and find someone else to be the Hall Master!”
Wei Ting gave the Palace Lord Mother a thumbs up.
Ling Yun looked at Wei Ting speechlessly.
Ji Minglou was still calm. He did not lose his composure like the Deputy Hall Master.
He asked seriously, “If the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace is here to settle old scores, just come at me. Do you want to fight here or elsewhere?” The Palace Lord was about to fight.
Wei Ting said in a low voice, “Mother, we’re here to look for someone. They
won’t let us in if we fight.”
The Palace Lord seemed to have been roused from a dream. “I almost forgot about the matter at large!”
She coughed lightly and said coldly, “You people from Heavenly Jade Hall like to dig up old scores. I’m not that petty.” The Deputy Hall Master was furious.
Who was raking up old scores?
The Palace Lord fanned herself and said, “Last night, someone barged into my Hundred Flowers Palace. After I caught him, he personally admitted that he was a disciple of your Heavenly Jade Hall. Unfortunately, he escaped this morning. I’m here to demand an explanation!”
The Deputy Hall Master gritted his teeth and said, “Nonsense! When did our Heavenly Jade Hall send someone to your Hundred Flowers Palace? You’re clearly framing the Heavenly Jade Hall!”
Palace Lord said, “Whether it’s a false accusation or not, we’ll know after investigating. Ji Minglou, do you dare to let me in to search?”
Ji Minglousaid, “How would I know what the disciple you’re talking about looks like? If you casually catch someone, you can just say that he’s the a.s.sa.s.sin.”
Wei Ting took out a portrait and handed it to Palace Lord.
The Palace Lord’s eyes lit up. Her son was still the smartest!
She raised the portrait out of the carriage window.
Ji Minglou caught it with his bare hands and unfolded it. “There’s no such person in the Heavenly Jade Hall.”
The Palace Lord said arrogantly, “Of course you would say that.”
The Deputy Hall Master snorted and said, “Hall Master, ignore her! Our Heavenly Jade Hall is upright and is not afraid of false accusations. If we didn’t do it, we didn’t do it! If we really let her in to search, it will look like our Heavenly Jade Hall is afraid of her!”
The Palace Lord said mockingly, ‘Yo, you’re so afraid. Could it be that you were the one who sent this a.s.sa.s.sin? You deliberately sowed discord between me and Heavenly Jade Hall. Could it be that you want to use me to get rid of Ji
Minglou so that you can be the Hall Master?”
The Deputy Hall Master choked in anger. “You..
Ji Minglou looked at the carriage deeply. “Alright, I’ll let you search.”
The Deputy Hall Master gritted his teeth. “Palace Lord!”
Ji Minglou ignored his obstruction and continued to say to Palace Lord, “But if you don’t find this person…”
The Palace Lord said, “I will apologize to you.”
Ji Minglou turned around and waved at the disciple guarding the door.
The disciple moved aside.
The Palace Lord said to Wei Ting, “Son, let’s get off.”
Wei Ting paused and casually put on his mask.
Although no one on the island knew him, it was better to be cautious. Ji Minglou looked at the young man who had appeared beside the Palace Lord.
“He is…”
The Palace Lord said, “My son.”
Ji Minglou sized Wei Ting up. “Yun Lin?”
The Hundred Flowers Palace did not have any contact with the Heavenly Jade Hall and the City Lord Manor.
Ling Yun rarely appeared in front of others, so Ji Minglou had never seen him.
The Palace Lord snorted and didn’t explain.
Ji Minglou could sense that there was another person in the carriage, but the other party did not get out, so he could not forcefully lift the curtain to see who was inside.
Ji Minglou brought the two of them to the drill ground of the Heavenly Jade Hall and called out all the disciples.
The Palace Lord asked, “Are all the disciples here?”
Ji Ming’s corridor: “They’re all here.”
Palace Lord asked Wei Ting, “Son, have you found him?”
Wei Ting referred to the portrait with a serious expression. “Mother, there’s nothing here. ”
The Palace Lord fanned himself and asked casually, “Could it be that you hid the person?
The Deputy Hall Master held his aching chest. “Don’t go too far, Hundred
Flowers Palace!”
At this moment, Wei Ting pointed to the east. “Mother, there’s someone there.” The Palace Lord’s expression darkened. “You are indeed hiding someone!”
Ji Minglou frowned and said, “That’s my Madam’s courtyard. There are only some maids and servants.”
The Palace Lord didn’t seem to believe it.
Ji Minglou sighed unhappily. “Forget it, follow me.”
Ji Minglou went to tell Madam Ji about the a.s.sa.s.sin.
Madam Ji said calmly, “In that case, let them come in and search. I want to see what kind of living person they can find.”
The Palace Lord led Wei Ting to search the rooms.
If they were looking for something, they might be worried that the two of them would frame them. They had to send someone to follow them. When it came to a living person, they would not need to do so.
Therefore, Madam Ji waited in the courtyard openly.
When Wei Ting pa.s.sed by an accounting room, he happened to b.u.mp into the woman holding the account book.
Wei Ting was stunned. “Sister-in-law?”
Chu Feifeng trembled and looked up at him in disbelief. “Little Seven?”
She quickly looked around and freed her hand to pull Wei Ting into the accounting room and close the door.
She raised her hand and touched Wei Ting’s cheek. “Little Seven, is it really you?”
When Chu Feifeng married into the Wei family, Wei Ting was only eleven years old.
Wei Ting and Madam Wei had a distant relationship. Chu Feifeng had always been the one taking care of him.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother.
Chu Feifeng looked at the more mature Wei Ting and was both gratified and excited. “Why did you look for me here?”
Wei Ting said, “I saw Sister-in-law at the entrance of the Thousand Chance Pavilion that day and came looking for you. Sister-in-law, how have you been recently? Why did you come to the island? Why did you enter the Heavenly Jade Hall
Chu Feifeng said, “It’s a long story.”
Wei Ting asked, “Was Sister-in-law arrested?”
Chu Feifeng shook her head. “No, I approached the Madam of the Heavenly Jade Hall myself. Now, I’m her steward and she thinks highly of me.” Seeing that Wei Ting was staring at her, she could only explain helplessly.
“After I left the Wei family, I didn’t know where to go, so I walked around and accidentally met people from Thousand Mountain Island. When I heard them mention that Father and your brothers had been persecuted, I realized that there was more than one mastermind. The forces of Thousand Mountain Island were also involved, so I thought of a way to follow them to the island.” So Sister-in-law was investigating the truth back then.
Wei Ting said seriously, “Sister-in-law, Big Brother isn’t dead. He’s back.”
Chu Feifeng was stunned..
