Chapter 1345: Hugging the Golden Leg

After Xiahou Zheng was escorted to the dungeon, Xiahou Qing could not calm down for a long time.

Elder Li and Elder Liu had been forced to drink by Wei Xu during the day and had rested after returning. At this moment, other than Elder Hai, who had restrained Xiahou Zheng, only Elder Zhao was left beside him.

The two of them looked at the helpless expression on his face and walked in.

“City Lord.”

Elder Zhao said, “Protect your body.”

Elder Hai said quickly, “I really didn’t expect such a thing to happen. City Lord has nurtured him carefully for so many years in vain. In the end, he actually raised an ingrate!”

“Stop talking,” Elder Zhao said in a low voice.

Elder Hai said indifferently, “Can’t I mention it?”

Xiahou Qing closed his eyes and said tiredly, “Elders, go back first. Don’t tell anyone about the treasure map.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

The two of them sighed and left.

Xiahou Qing sat alone in the silent hall. The candlelight was dim. Half of his figure was enveloped in the dark night, and the other side was reflected in the flickering candlelight.

Her entire body seemed to have been cut in half. The breeze swayed, bright and dark.

Steward Chang carried a bowl of ginseng soup in and placed it on the table beside Xiahou Qing. He comforted him softly, “The City Lord has been busy until now and hasn’t eaten dinner. Have some ginseng soup to warm your body first.”

Xiahou Qing had no appetite.

Steward Chang walked over and turned the wick brighter.

Xiahou Qing said with a complicated expression, “He’s the first child I brought back to the City Lord Manor. He’s been with me the longest. Why is he the one who betrayed me?”

Manager Chang said earnestly, “There’s no knowing what’s going on in people’s hearts. Some people are insatiable and are born like this. City Lord, just treat it as an error in judgment. Don’t be sad.”

Among the four godsons, the one who sided with Xiahou Qing the most was his fourth son, Xiahou Yan. Unfortunately, he was dead, and the murderer was still unknown.

Xiahou Yu and Xiahou Zheng were biological brothers, so Xiahou Yu would probably not be very loyal to him.

Now, only Second was left among the four of them.

Xiahou Qing sighed. “I hope Jin’er won’t disappoint me.”

“Aren’t there still the Young Palace Lord and the young master?”

Steward Chang’s meaning was obvious. Even if all his adopted sons had betrayed him, at least he still had his biological children to inherit the legacy of the City Lord Manor.

Xie Jinnian had just arrived at the courtyard when he heard the last two sentences of their conversation.

The accompanying servant also heard it.

He looked at his young master worriedly.

“Go back.”

Xie Jinnian turned around and left.

The servant opened his mouth but hesitated. He silently followed.

Young Master was here to see the City Lord, but he did not expect to hear such cold words.

“Young Master.”

The servant said weakly, “Are you very sad?”

Actually, how could he not feel the same as Xiahou Zheng?

The City Lord treated his biological children, especially Young Palace Lord Yun, much better than his adopted sons.

It was a kind of love from the bottom of City Lord’s heart. He could be willful, play around, and even disobey the City Lord.

Even if the City Lord was furious, he could not bear to do anything to his biological son.

If it had been Young Palace Lord Yun tonight, would the City Lord still have the heart to sever his father-son relationship with him and lock him up?

His biological son was his son, and his adopted sons… were all pawns.

The servant suddenly felt sad.

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “I’m not sad.”

–

In a quiet courtyard in the City Lord Manor.

Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair and looked at the sky.

A guard walked over and bowed. “Master, Eldest Young Master has been captured. The treasure map is in the hands of the City Lord.”

Xiahou Yi’s expression did not change much, but her dark eyes seemed to hide purgatory.

Su Xiaoxiao slept happily. As expected, three more furry heads woke up.

The difference was that Xiaohu, who could never beat his brothers, occupied the advantageous terrain and lay in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms alone.

The reason was that he had eaten too much last night and his stomach hurt for most of the night.

His two brothers reluctantly gave in this time.

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart melted before she opened her eyes.

She touched the hot braised egg in her arms and couldn’t help but be in a good mood. “Does your stomach still hurt?”

Xiaohu shook his head in her arms and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Su Xiaoxiao gently patted his back and touched the other two little packrats equally.

A four-year-old child was also very cute!

Dahu said, “I want to sleep with Mother in the future.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, “Why?”

“Mother smells good,” Erhu said.

“Xiaohu smells good too,” Xiaohu said. “Dahu Qiuqiu (stinks)! Erhu Qiuqiu!”

Su Xiaoxiao remarked, “You really can’t change your accent…”

Erhu said seriously, “Dahu and I don’t stink! Your nose is broken!”

Dahu raised his small iron fist and used his eldest brother’s pressure. “Are you asking for a beating again?”

Xiaohu immediately complained, “Dahu hit me!”

Su Xiaoxiao said in amusement, “He hasn’t hit yet. When he really fights later, hit him back, okay?”

Xiaohu thought for a moment and shook his head righteously. “Grandpa said that we can’t fight!”

Oh, then who was the one who did the provoking every time?

The little guy was getting smarter and smarter. Su Xiaoxiao was caught between laughter and tears.

After breakfast, Ling Yin ran over excitedly. “Second Young Madam! Second Young Madam! Something big has happened!”

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao had just changed the sweaty clothes of the sleeping Wei Xiaobao.

Ling Yin said vividly, “The eldest young master of the City Lord Manor is in prison! I heard that… the City Lord even severed their father-son relationship! Let him offend the Young Palace Lord. Now, you know who’s his biological son, right?”

Xiahou Zheng was actually in prison?

This news was indeed a little shocking.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think it was because he had provoked Ling Yun time and time again.

After all, what people saw was that he was just talkative and did not seek a victory every time.

The City Lord would not punish him so severely for such a small dispute and even sever the father-son relationship.

“Wait, is it really cut off?”

Why didn’t she dare to believe it?

Ling Yin said, “The City Lord personally said, ‘Don’t call me Foster Father. I don’t have a son like you!’ The news has spread throughout Fengdu City!”

This might be an angry statement, but with the fact that he was in prison, it was very likely that Xiahou Zheng would not be able to make a comeback.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and muttered to herself, “Could it be the Head Eunuch? It’s only been a day… What did Xiahou Zheng do to die? No, I should be more concerned about how the Head Eunuch did it. If he really did it, what kind of methods would he have?

“How did I have the guts to pull him into the trenches yesterday? If he turns around to deal with me in anger…”

She couldn’t think, she couldn’t think!

Also, in the southern border, she had used Wuhu to sow discord between him and the Saintess.

She was really young.

She only wanted to stir up a hornet’s nest, while he was the kind of person who barged into the King of Hell’s palace and even sat on the King of Hell’s head to change the Book of Life and Death.

Ling Yin was shocked by Su Xiaoxiao’s appearance. “Eh? Second Young Madam, what’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao was on the brink of tears. “Prepare a coffin.”

Ling Yin was about to ask who it was for when Xing’er came over. “Miss, Eunuch Jin is here at the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Su Xiaoxiao covered her chest and reached out. “Brother Jinnian! I’m here!”
