Chu Feifeng’s face turned pale. “Little Seven, what should we do?” Wei Ting said calmly, “Don’t panic yet. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”
Chu Feifeng nodded worriedly.
Wei Ting said, “Slap me again.”
Chu Feifeng feinted and slapped Wei Ting. It looked intense, but it was actually weak.
Wei Ting was sent flying and fell heavily on Wei Liulang.
Wei Liulang, who had been used as a scapegoat, was speechless.
Chu Feifeng snorted. “On account of the City Lord, I won’t argue with you! Go back and practice your martial arts!”
Wei Ting and Wei Liulang got up in a sorry state.
In the eyes of the servants, the two of them had slipped away so quickly. They must have gone to complain to the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
“How useless. ”
“That’s right. Second Young Master can’t even defeat a steward.”
Chu Feifeng watched the two of them leave with a solemn expression.
Little Six, Little Seven, nothing must happen to you and Dad.
In a place that the servants could not see, Wei Ting’s expression suddenly became serious. “Did something happen?”
Wei Liulang asked softly.
Wei Ting frowned and said, “There’s a small situation.”
Hearing that the City Lord had arrived, the nanny immediately carried the little master over and handed him to Madam Ru.
Madam Ru carried the child out to welcome him.
Madam Ji also went out to welcome him.
Only Su Xiaoxiao, the Palace Lord, and Xiaohu were left in the flower hall.
Su Xiaoxiao was applying mosquito cream to Xiaohu’s head.
“Daddy.”
“Sixth Uncle, Daddy.”
Xiaohu was also a smart person. Seeing that his stinky father’s expression was not good, he was worried that his little b.u.t.t would suffer if he rolled on the lawn. He immediately acted cute.
Su Xiaoxiao and the Palace Lord also sensed that something was wrong with Wei Ting’s aura.
Su Xiaoxiao gave Xiaohu a piece of honey candy.
Xiaohu began to lick it.
Wei Ting told her about his conversation with his sister-in-law.
The two of them did not expect this matter to involve so many people, including the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the Heavenly Jade Hall.
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion is the most neutral sect on the island and has never been on bad terms with our Hundred Flowers Palace. Who would have thought that there was such a deep secret?
But who is the mastermind?”
Wei Liulang muttered, “Could it be Xiahou Qing? That’s very likely. He’s so ambitious and even arranged for his adopted son to control the Great Zhou Imperial Family. Perhaps the Broken North Pa.s.s incident is also related to him. ”
Wei Ting pondered for a moment and said, “Other than Xie Jinnian, the middleman, the reason why the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance agreed to the deal with the King of the Southern Wilderness back then can’t be ruled out.”
Su Xiaoxiao understood what he meant. “Are you saying that the a.s.sa.s.sin
Alliance is involved in the matter at Broken North Pa.s.s?”
Wei Ting said seriously, “It’s just a guess. After all, my brothers went missing and my father was captured. It all happened during the battle between Broken North Pa.s.s and Northen Yan.”
Su Xiaoxiao followed Wei Ting’s thoughts. “I guess the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance has nothing to do with the disappearance of our brothers. Otherwise, Sixth Brother would have been recognized after staying in the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance’s dungeon for so long.”
Palace Lord agreed. “That makes sense.”
Putting others aside, the characteristics on Wei Liulang’s body were too obvious—disfigurement, ruined voice, and broken arm.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “The King of the Southern Wilderness made a deal with the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance and asked the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance to s.n.a.t.c.h Wei Xu from Helian Ye. If the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance hadn’t interfered, Dad might have been captured by the mastermind with Big Brother and the others. They didn’t capture Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother because they had all died on the battlefield.”
It was hard to say if the outcome would be worse if he was captured by the King of the Southern Wilderness and made into a puppet, or if he would fall into the hands of the mastermind.
“By the way, where’s Dad?”
Wei Liulang looked around and asked.
The few of them trembled.
Their father was outside!
Xiahou Qing was also there!
Wei Ting clenched his fists and said, “Let’s take a gamble. The mastermind is not Xiahou Qing.”
Wei Liulang said, ‘What if he is?”
The Palace Lord said, “If that’s the case, Xiahou Qing would have long ordered his people to go to the Hundred Flowers Palace to capture him.”
As the Island Master, Xiahou Qing usually tolerated the Hundred Flowers Palace. Other than his old feelings for Yun Xi, it was also because the Hundred Flowers Palace had never done anything too out of line.
If she really hid a huge problem from Xiahou Qing, he would not tolerate it.
The few of them gathered their thoughts and calmly left the house.
At this moment, a magical scene was playing out in the courtyard.
Xiahou Qing carried his son while Wei Xu carried his granddaughter. The two men faced each other and sized up each other’s babies.
Madam Ru smiled and introduced, “City Lord, he’s Duanmu Qi of the Hundred
Flower Palace. That’s the child born on the same day as Chen’er. Her name is Xiaobao.”
She had heard Yun Shuang call him that just now..
