Chapter 1307: Torturing Sc.u.m (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Xiahou Qing announced Ling Yun’s background, more people came to the Hundred Flowers Palace to visit.
Even the few sects that had besieged the Hundred Flowers Palace in the past had shamelessly sent their disciples over.
The Palace Lord was impatient to see these people acting according to the situation. Other than the Fire Slaughter Sect and a few old friends she had interacted with, she rejected them all.
However, there was one person that the Hundred Flowers Palace could not reject, and that was Xiahou Qing.
Xiahou Qing came to look for Ling Yun every other day and cared for him as if he wanted to repay all the debts he had owed him for the past few years.
Ling Yun did not appreciate it and was indifferent to him.
“Grandpa City Lord, you can’t do this.”
In the courtyard of the Azure Cloud Palace, Erhu was advising Xiahou Qing, who was rejected by Ling Yun.
Xiahou Qing looked at the little fellow in front of him and asked, “What does your uncle like?”
“I’m still used to calling him Master,” Erhu said.
Xiahou Qing smiled and said, “Then call him Master.”
Ling Yun was both their uncle and their master. Xiahou Qing felt that they could address him either way.
Erhu said, “I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to tell anyone.”
Xiahou Qing said, “Okay.”
Erhu said seriously, “My master likes my lucky little stone the most. If you give him my little stone, he will definitely be happy.”
Xiahou Qing was skeptical. “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Erhu nodded seriously. “Do you want it?”
Xiahou Qing replied, “Sure.”
Erhu dug around in his pocket for a long time and found the ugliest one. “Here! Since you’re one of our own, ten taels!”
Xiahou Qing looked at the ordinary stone in his palm and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Su Xiaoxiao had not gone out for a while and asked Xiao Ruyan to go shopping for clothes today.
“Xiaohu wants to go too! Xiaohu wants to go too!”
Xiaohu bounced on the bed.
Dahu stood on the ground and lectured his brother sternly, “If you’re naughty again, I won’t bring you there!”
Xiaohu immediately stopped and stomped his feet with his hands on his hips. “Xiaohu isn’t naughty! Dahu is naughty!”
Su Xiaoxiao said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “Hurry up and get Erhu.”
“I’ll call Erhu!”
Xiaohu obediently got out of bed.
Dahu ran out first.
Xiaohu panicked. “I’ll call! I’ll call!”
The little fellow chased after him. The brothers fought fiercely again, and it was no surprise that Dahu won.
“Hmph.”
Xiaohu collapsed on the gra.s.s again and did not move. He focused on being a soulless salted fish.
Wei Xiaobao was sleeping in the Palace Lord’s room.
Su Xiaoxiao only brought three tiger heads out.
They first went to the Nie family to pick up Xiao Ruyan and Nie Xiaozhu.
Xiaohu shook his head. “Xiaohu wants to sit with Brother Xiaozhu!”
Xiao Ruyan said to her son, “Go sit with Xiaohu.”
Nie Xiaozhu nodded and sat down between Xiaohu and Erhu.
Xiaohu grabbed Nie Xiaozhu’s arm and showed off to Dahu. “I have Brother Xiaozhu. Go!”
He did not forget to stick out his tongue at Dahu.
Dahu remarked calmly, “Childish.”
“Has Xiaohu gained weight?” Xiao Ruyan pinched Xiaohu’s glutinous little face and asked, “What did you eat?”
Xiaohu raised his chin. “Immortal aura!”
Dahu said solemnly, “You must have been secretly drinking your sister’s milk every day!”
Xiao Ruyan laughed out loud.
The group went to the largest embroidered building on the island.
However, things did not seem to be going smoothly today.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruyan had just picked halfway when the disappointing fellow came.
“I saw the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage outside just now and wanted to come up to try my luck. I didn’t expect my luck to be good. Second Young Madam, please follow me to the City Lord Manor.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the smiling young master in front of her and asked, “Who are you?”
Xiao Ruyan leaned close to her and whispered, “The third young master of the City Lord Manor, Xiahou Yu.”
Xiahou Yu smiled and said, “Madam Nie still remembers me.”
Xiao Ruyan smiled dryly.
Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “Why do you want me to go to the City Lord Manor?”
Xiahou Yu’s att.i.tude was gentle and he was all smiles. “My granduncle suddenly felt a little unwell. I heard that Elder Qiu went to look for medicine for my granduncle. Before he left, he promised the City Lord that he would teach the first aid method to the descendant of the Jin family. Although I don’t know why you caught Elder Qiu’s eye, it’s not important anymore. Please treat my granduncle.”
In order to let Xiahou Qing allow Elder Qiu leave in peace, they had indeed thought of such an excuse.
Xiahou Yi had been silent all this time but fell ill not long after Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master returned.
Su Xiaoxiao was not so stupid.
It was enough to head toward the treacherous plot once. Don’t even think about it a second time.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m not going.”
