Chapter 1232: His Son

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yun had never seen Xiahou Qing.

However, this was not a place where ordinary male guests could come. The people from the Hundred Flowers Palace could come because Madam Ru’s trusted maidservant had brought them over.

Ling Yun glanced at Xiahou Qing and immediately guessed his ident.i.ty.

He did not bow or stop. He brushed past the other party expressionlessly.

Xiahou Qing frowned strangely and looked back at Ling Yun’s departing back.

“Who is he?”

Xiahou Qing asked.

The accompanying guard had just seen the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace and hurriedly replied, “I think he’s from the Hundred Flowers Palace. I saw him enter the residence with Palace Lord Yun at the door.”

The relationship between the Hundred Flowers Palace and the City Lord Manor was neither warm nor cold. Yun Shuang did not have a good expression when she saw Xiahou Qing.

However, other than her, no one else dared to give the City Lord a hard time.

Seeing that the City Lord was staring at that person, the guard thought that the City Lord was mindful of the other party’s rudeness. “City Lord, I’ll call him over to apologize to you.”

Xiahou Qing frowned and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. “There’s no need.”

“Yes.”

The guard retreated in surprise.

The City Lord was… too tolerant of the people from the Hundred Flowers

Palace.

Xiahou Qing walked towards the Jade Pavilion.

However, he felt as if something was tugging at his heart and could not help but turn around to look at the child.

Ling Yun walked quickly and was about to turn a corner. At this moment, a few cute voices came from the other side.

“Master!”

“Master!”

“Master!”

They were three cute little fellows. They looked identical and were dressed identically. They ran past Xiahou Qing with powerful calves.

Ling Yun stopped in his tracks.

Xiahou Qing looked at the triplets and then at him. The three little ones caught up to Ling Yun.

“Aiya!”

Xiaohu fell on the lawn and moved his b.u.t.t to Ling Yun’s feet shamelessly.

Xiahou Qing suddenly looked forward to Ling Yun turning around.

Ling Yun said indifferently, “Get up yourself.” Xiaohu said, “I’m not getting up.”

Ling Yun’s face darkened. “You can’t get up?

Xiaohu was fearless. “I have to be carried by Master to get up!”

Ling Yun snorted. “Suit yourself.”

With that, he continued walking.

Xiaohu was not threatened at all and rolled happily on the lawn.

“Lalala Lalala

Xiahou Qing suddenly found it funny.

The guard glanced at his City Lord and was baffled.

No kidding?

When did the City Lord look at other people’s children so happily?

Ling Yun clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He turned around and carried his little evil disciple up with a cold expression.

Xiahou Qing deliberately took a few more glances at the other party’s face.

Unfortunately, the other party was wearing a mask. He could only see a pair of lowered eyes, pursed unhappy lips, and a thin chin.

At this moment, Steward Chang of the City Lord’s Manor walked over. “City

Lord, the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the

Alliance Master of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance have arrived at Ming Xia Hall.”

Xiahou Qing nodded. “Got it.”

The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Heavenly Jade Hall, and the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance were the four major sects of Thousand Mountain Island. Xiahou Qing attached great importance to them.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet Lou Bufan and Jiang Guanchao first before returning to see Madam Ru and his son.

Jade Pavilion.

Ji Minglou and Madam Ji had also arrived and were sitting in the flower hall with the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Madam Ji was still dressing up in the room to welcome her upcoming status as the City Lord’s Madam.

The three little fellows went to look for Ling Yun while Su MO and Jing Yi went to Ming Xia Hall.

Su Xiaoxiao, Palace Lord, and Wei Xu sat opposite the Ji family.

Chu Feifeng was the accompanying steward. The Heavenly Jade Hall had prepared generous gifts, and a few boxes were specially given to Madam Ru and the young master.

She was handing over gifts to the people from the Jade Pavilion in the backyard.

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang found an excuse to look for her in the backyard.

The Palace Lord carried Wei Xiaobao and teased her.

Wei Xiaobao had just turned one month old today when he smiled.

The Palace Lord said excitedly, “Xiaobao smiled!”

Wei Xu and Su Xiaoxiao sat on both sides of her and looked at Wei Xiaobao at the same time.

Wei Xiaobao finished smiling.

Palace Lord said, “She really smiled just now.” Wei Xu looked at Wei Xiaobao dotingly and said, “Xiaobao, smile again.” Su Xiaoxiao suppressed her bloodline. “Smile.”

Wei Xiaobao was pressed to open for business and smiled at his grandfather.

Wei Xu was so happy that his heart was about to melt.

Looking at the happy family, Ji Minglou frowned.

That’s right. Although Wei Xu was wearing a mask, his voice, figure, and aura had long been recognized by Ji Minglou.

He was the man who appeared beside Yun Shuang the night the seven great sects attacked the Hundred Flower Palace.

Yun Shuang actually brought him to the City Lord Manor today.

She even put a mask on him to prevent others from seeing his appearance.

How possessive was Yun Shuang of this man?

Could he really be Yun Lin’s father?

Ji Minglou clenched his fists.

The Palace Lord and Wei Xu were immersed in Wei Xiaobao’s first smile and ignored Ji Minglou’s gaze.

Madam Ji looked at her husband and then at the “family of four” opposite her and sneered in her heart.

She said, “Palace Lord Yun, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

“Introduce what?”

The Palace Lord asked indifferently.

Madam Ji smiled and said, “The two beside you.”

The Palace Lord first looked at her precious daughter-in-law. “My second daughter-in-law.”

This answer shocked Madam Ji. “Second daughter-in-law?”

The Palace Lord showed off. “That’s right. The person sitting here just now is my youngest son.”

Ji Minglou clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “When did you have another son? Who’s that man?” The Palace Lord sneered. “It’s none of your business!”

Ji Minglou choked.

As he glared at Wei Xu coldly, his eyes were filled with hostility.

Wei Xu glanced at him indifferently.

The Wei family had inate talents when it came to provocation.

Ji Minglou became even angrier.

At this moment, Madam Ru finally came out.

To be able to become Xiahou Qing’s woman, Madam Rut s beauty should be devastatingly beautiful.

Even though she was no longer young and had just given birth, she was still charming.

Cai Lian carried the little master and followed behind her.

“Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”

Madam Ru smiled and entered the house. She greeted them one by one. “Brother, Sister-in-law, Palace Lord Yun, Young Madam Yun, this is…” She didn’t know Wei Xu.

However, she had more or less heard some rumors about the Hundred Flowers

Palace.

The Palace Lord said seriously, “Duanmu Qi is from the outer island. He’s now a member of my Hundred Flowers Palace.”

Madam Ru smiled. “So it’s Hero Duanmu.”

The Palace Lord pretended to introduce her to Wei Xu again. “This is Madam Ru, the City Lord’s concubine.”

Madam Ru’s smile froze.

The Palace Lord wasn’t interested in ridiculing children, so she didn’t kindly “introduce” Madam Ru’s son.

Madam Ru endured it for her daughter.

After the betrothal, she would s.n.a.t.c.h the child over and let the world see how she would deal with the Hundred Flowers Palace!

She squeezed out a smile and came in front of the Palace Lord. She looked at the pink and chubby girl in her arms and felt excited.

“This must be the little daughter of the Hundred Flowers Palace. She’s so cute..

Can you let me hug her?”
