Chapter 1310: Teacher Scams
Editor: Atlas Studios
In the City Lord Manor, Xiahou Qing knew that Xiahou Yu was injured.
He went to Xiahou Yu’s room.
The physician had come to treat him, but because Xiahou Yu’s injuries were too serious, he had been unconscious.
Xiahou Qing looked at his unconscious adopted son and asked with a frown, “Who did it?”
Xiahou Zheng wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiahou Qing glanced at him. “What’s wrong?”
Xiahou Zheng said in a low voice, “I don’t dare to say.”
Xiahou Qing questioned, “Your brother is so injured. Are you still going to hide it?”
Xiahou Zheng said with a complicated expression, “When Foster Father wasn’t around today, Granduncle suddenly felt uncomfortable. Third Brother immediately set off to the Hundred Flowers Palace to invite Second Madam. Unexpectedly, he b.u.mped into her on the way. I thought I could invite her over as soon as possible, but she refused to come and even let her subordinates… beat Third Brother up like this.”
Xiahou Qing pondered and said, “I know her. She’s not a domineering person. Why is this?”
Xiahou Zheng sighed and said, “Perhaps… Third Brother was too anxious to invite her over to treat Granduncle and offended her with his words.”
Xiahou Qing frowned. “I understand. I’ll go see your great-uncle first.”
With that, he stood up and left.
… .
After Xiahou Qing visited Xiahou Yi and left, the woman in green came to Xiahou Yi’s room with a smile.
“My lord, the mission is completed. I believe that not long after, the Hundred Flowers Palace will receive a huge opening gambit.”
Xiahou Yi looked at her hand.
The woman in green raised her slender hands that were stained with blood and smiled sweetly. “I killed a puppet on the way, but she didn’t die, so I brought her back. She’s the one who killed Qing Luan and injured Third Young Master. Also, she can actually speak. She’s really a one in a hundred puppet. I want to keep her.”
Xiahou Yi said nothing.
However, his expression indicated clearly that he did not care.
“Then, I’ll leave first.”
The woman in green returned to her room and came to the bed. She looked at the Saintess who was tied up. “Yo, you’re awake? You’re so fast.”
She raised the Saintess’s chin. “How about being my puppet? You can kill and set fire to whatever you want. If you don’t listen, I’ll suck your power!”
–
“Saintess!”
Su Xiaoxiao woke up from her sleep.
Wei Ting also woke up and caressed her shoulder. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“I dreamed of the Saintess,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “She’s covered in blood.”
“Dreams are often reversed from reality. She’ll be fine,” Wei Ting comforted. “Sleep. I’ll look for her tomorrow.”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t fall asleep. “Where’s Xiaobao?”
Wei Ting said, “Oh, playing in the courtyard.”
She could be said to be the number one night cat in the Hundred Flowers Palace if she didn’t sleep in the middle of the night.
“Wu Wa Wa Wa!”
Wei Xiaobao was thrown high into the air and cried out excitedly.
The Slave Killer threw her expressionlessly.
There was no choice. The Hundred Flowers Palace would only return the black iron treasured saber to him after he did this for a hundred nights!
The next morning, Steward Chang from the City Lord Manor came over and asked Su Xiaoxiao to treat Second Granduncle.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Do you want me to treat his illness, or do you want to denounce me?”
Steward Chang said politely, “Second Young Madam, you’re being too serious. The City Lord believes that there must be a misunderstanding. Second Young Madam will be fine after explaining clearly.”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “In the end, it’s still a denunciation.”
“Well…”
“Forget it. Treatment is more important. I’ll go with you.”
“Yes?”
Steward Chang didn’t expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so straightforward and couldn’t react for a moment.
“Aren’t you leaving?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Yes, yes!” Manager Chang said. “The carriage is at the door. Second Young Madam, please move.”
Just as he reached the door, Steward Chang realized that his carriage had been pushed to the back. Parked in front was an extremely luxurious golden carriage.
Such a show-off. It was obvious that it was Ling Yun’s… Su Xiaoxiao said, “Brother!”
“Come up.”
“Alright!”
Su Xiaoxiao obediently got into the carriage.
Ling Yun said, “The three of them went to look for Cheng Xin. Before they left, they asked me to take care of you.”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “I know. You didn’t want to come yourself. They placed a knife to your neck and fed you poison!”
Ling Yun was speechless.
On Xiahou Yi’s side, Xiahou Qing and Xiahou Zheng were already waiting.
Seeing that Ling Yun was also here, Xiahou Qing was a little surprised. “Ling’er…”
The first thing Ling Yun said was, “Xiahou Yu scolded me.”
Xiahou Qing and Xiahou Zheng were stunned.
Ling Yun said without changing his expression, “Xiahou Yu called me a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who was born without a mother, so my sister-in-law beat him up.”
Xiahou Zheng muttered, “Shameless! When did Third Brother say that? Don’t play the blame game!”
Extreme anger flashed across Xiahou Qing’s eyes. He asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Is that so?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. Was he so fierce? He didn’t even rehea.r.s.e his lines in advance?
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and said seriously, “That’s right. I overheard it outside the door. I was so angry that I fought with him! If the City Lord doesn’t believe me, call him over to confront him!”
Ling Yun snorted. “Confrontation? Does he have the guts to admit it? If he dares to admit it, I’ll chop off my head!”
Su Xiaoxiao said indignantly, “A b.a.s.t.a.r.d who insulted my brother! I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”
Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists.
Su Xiaoxiao took in his expression and smiled provocatively.
How is it?
We didn’t follow your routine. Disappointed?
Did you think that we would work hard to prove our innocence as soon as we arrived and say that Xiahou Yu attacked first?
However, Xiahou Yu had gone to invite Su Xiaoxiao. If Su Xiaoxiao didn’t provoke him, why would he attack her?
No normal person would believe it.
Xiahou Yu’s hostility towards Ling Yun was much more convincing.
Moreover, it was obvious which made Xiahou Qing angrier.
As expected, Xiahou Qing’s expression was extremely ugly.
Xiahou Zheng immediately changed the topic. “Foster Father, we’ll talk about this later. Treat Granduncle first.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Go outside and wait. Only the City Lord can stay alone.”
Xiahou Qing had no objections.
Ling Yun didn’t either and walked out.
Xiahou Zheng and the servants in the house also came to the corridor.
“Close the door.”
Ling Yun said to the servants.
The servant glanced at Xiahou Zheng, who nodded.
The servant closed the door.
Ling Yun said indifferently, “You can actually order Second Great Master’s servants around. Looks like your relationship with Second Great Master is not simple.”
Xiahou Zheng’s eyes flickered. “I often come to visit my great-uncle. Is it strange that the servants know me?”
“After treatment from Elder Qiu and Granny Ghost, Second Grandfather’s condition stabilized a lot. However, the moment you returned to Thousand Mountain Island, Second Grandfather’s illness acted up.”
Xiahou Zheng said jokingly, “You suspect that Second Grandfather’s illness is related to me?”
Ling Yun said, “Yes.”
Xiahou Zheng’s gaze was cold, but there was a smile in his tone. “You’re really loose-lipped.”
Ling Yun looked at him provocatively. “Why? Are you very envious?”
