Chapter 1241: Your Son

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiahou Yanyu returned to Madam Ru in a daze.

Madam Ru had just tried on a new hairpin and was quite satisfied.

As a concubine, her clothes could not exceed her status. Now, she could finally wear a hairpin that befits the status of Madam.

She casually glanced over and saw her daughter’s dejected expression.

She naturally did not expect that something had happened on her side. After all, the City Lord had personally agreed to her just now.

Hence, she asked, “Did my son-in-law make you angry again? It’s time for you to rein in your personality. You can’t rely on your status as the daughter of the City Lord every other day and not give my son-in-law a way out.”

Xiahou Yanyu’s eyes were red.

Madam Ru did not look at her in the bronze mirror. She turned around and sighed. “Why are you crying? How much did you suffer that you have to do it today?”

Xiahou Yanyu said aggrievedly, “It would be good if something happened on my side…”

This matter was not only related to her mother’s status in her life, but also to her legitimacy as a wife.

Who didn’t want to be the daughter of the City Lord Manor?

“Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Madam Ru was really not in the mood to deal with her daughter’s willfulness today.

Xiahou Yanyu said, “Dad has left.”

Madam Ru was stunned. “What did you say?”

Xiahou Yanyu said sadly, “Dad suddenly left without a word. I’m afraid he won’t be able to come back.”

“Who told you that?”

Madam Ru did not believe her. “Your brother is one month old. Your father will wait until tomorrow even if it’s something big! Moreover, I didn’t hear that something big happened on the island! All the major sects are here. If there’s really something, it’ll be resolved in the City Lord Manor. Is there a need to leave the mansion?”

Xiahou Yanyu choked and said, “If you don’t believe me, go ask Dad’s guard!”

Madam Ru wanted to say something but hesitated. She couldn’t help but clench her fists. “Then did your father… leave any words?”

For example, announcing her as the Madam of the City Lord…

At this moment, Xie Jinnian came over.

Xie Jinnian bowed to Madam Ru at the door. “Madam Ru, Godfather has something urgent to attend to and needs to leave the residence. He asked me to complete my brother’s one-month-old gift.”

Xie Jinnian’s words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Madam Ru’s head.

Xiahou Jin did not change the way he addressed her.

Xiahou Jin would complete her son’s one-month-old celebration.

He did not mention a word that she be recognized as the City Lord’s Madam.

The blood drained from her face.

She still refused to give up and looked at Xie Jinnian in a daze. “Your… your foster father… did he have any other instructions?”

“There is indeed something.”

“Tell me quickly!”

“After the banquet, to investigate the matter of Elder Hai thoroughly.”

The last thread in Madam Ru’s heart snapped.

Tears of grievance flowed out of her eyes and she couldn’t stop them.

She didn’t want Xie Jinnian to see her sorry state, so she forced herself to turn around.

But her trembling shoulders still betrayed her emotions.

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, Madam Ru, I’ll go entertain the guests first.”

Madam Ru dug her nails into her palms. “Do you know… why the City Lord left?”

Xie Jinnian said, “No.”

After Xie Jinnian left, Madam Ru looked at the large boxes of jewelry on the dressing table and was so angry that she swung her hands and threw them all to the ground!

Xie Jinnian heard the commotion in the courtyard.

He paused in his tracks and his expression did not change at all. He calmly went to the main hall of the banquet.

Inside the room, Cai Lian advised, “Madam, don’t be sad first. The City Lord must have something urgent to attend to before leaving. The City Lord has already promised you and won’t go back on his word. When he returns, he will make you the Madam of the City Lord.”

Madam Ru said awkwardly, “Will he?”

Cai Lian comforted her, “Madam, you have to believe in the City Lord. The City Lord is not someone who changes his mind overnight. Moreover, he left in such a hurry. He must feel extremely guilty. When he comes back, he might think of a way to compensate you!”

Xiahou Yanyu also nodded. “That’s right, Mother. Father has long released the news. It’s not a promise to you alone. He said the same thing with Grandpa and Uncle. He can’t go back on his word in public. Moreover, I can’t think of any reason for Father to go back on his word. It’s not like that woman called Yun Xi has come back to life!”

Cai Lian hurriedly echoed, “That’s right, Madam! Miss is right!”

Xiahou Yanyu’s expression turned cold. “Dad left the residence as soon as the Hundred Flowers Palace left. Could it be them? Cai Lian, take care of my mother. I’ll inform Grandpa and Uncle!”

Cai Lian agreed. “Yes, Miss.”

The autumn wind blew.

Xiahou Qing used his qinggong to the extreme.

After seeing the note, he immediately chased after it without any hesitation.

Although there were experts in the Mingxia Hall, everyone was drinking and having fun. It was not surprising that they did not notice.

However, the guards of the City Lord Manor were loyal and no one sensed anyone breaking in.

That was strange.

Either this person’s qinggong was top-notch,

Or, this person was in the Mingxia Hall today.

No matter what, he had to find this person!

Southeast!

Xiahou Qing sensed a slight movement in the leaf.

He took a big step forward and jumped up. He rushed towards the direction of the commotion.

He arrived at a dense forest.

The movement disappeared again.

He landed in the empty space in the middle of the bamboo forest and looked around warily. He said with a sharp aura, “Who’s playing tricks here? Come out!”

A breeze rustled the leaves on the right.

He tilted his ear and raised his hand to slap.

A figure soared into the sky and leaped from one tree to another.

The figure did not seem to have any intention of coming down. He stood on the branch with his arms crossed.

Xiahou Qing looked at him coldly. “Did you write me the note?”

The other party was wearing a full-face mask that even covered his chin tightly.

A careless man’s voice came from under the mask. “I was just ordered to deliver a letter.”

It sounded a little old.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Who asked you to send it?”

The other party extended five fingers.

Xiahou Qing was puzzled. “What?”

The other party said, “500 pieces of gold, a message.”

Xiahou Qing frowned. It was not for the gold. This small sum of money was nothing to him, but he had come out in a hurry and did not bring it.

The other party continued, “You can write an IOU too. I brought brush and paper.”

Xiahou Qing was speechless but he agreed.

Xiahou Qing noticed that the other party was wearing gloves even when he took out a brush and paper. Not an inch of his body was exposed, and his neck was covered.

Xiahou Qing immediately guessed something.

The other party accepted the IOU.

Xiahou Qing said, “Can you tell me now?”

The other party took out a small bamboo tube. “The answer is here. If you have the ability, come and get it yourself.”

With that, he immediately used his qinggong to escape!

Of course, Xiahou Qing would not let him off. He chased him through the forest and actually arrived at a cliff.

Xiahou Qing said with a dignified gaze, “Let’s see where you can escape to.”

The other party walked closer to the cliff.

Xiahou Qing said coldly, “You’re not my match. Hand over the bamboo tube obediently or tell me the truth. I won’t kill you.”

The other party refused to give in.

Xiahou Qing raised his palm.

Suddenly, the other party looked behind Xiahou Qing and shouted, “Your son!”

Xiahou Qing did hear footsteps and subconsciously turned around.

At this moment, the masked man suddenly jumped off the cliff with the bamboo tube.

Xiahou Qing’s expression changed as he hurriedly flew over to grab the bamboo tube.

However, he was a step too late. The bamboo tube fell into the endless abyss with the man.

“Damn it!”

He punched the mountain rock!

He took a deep breath and suppressed his surging killing intent. He slowly stood up and turned to look at the person. “I remember you. You’re Yun Lin. Why are you here?”

This was not the way to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
