Chapter 1339: You Can Be a Father

Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that Xie Jinnian’s anger did not decrease, Su Xiaoxiao asked innocently, “Even Brother can’t cut it. Could it be that you want to be my father?”

Xie Jinnian had no doubt that if he hesitated for another second, he would be recognized as a wild father.

He said coldly, “Shut up!”

Su Xiaoxiao shut up obediently.

Xie Jinnian had a rare gentle personality, or rather, he was very good at controlling his emotions.

This was the first time he was so angry that he revealed his true colors.

Indeed. He had never been a modest gentleman. Everything was just a disguise as the Second Young Master and a disguise to survive better in the City Lord Manor.

He would be whatever son his adoptive father needed.

Xiahou Zheng had his own opinions and was extremely capable of leading.

Xiahou Yu was obedient and pleased his adoptive father.

Xiahou Yan was smart and was deeply appreciated by his adoptive father.

As for him, he was the second son who stood aloof from worldly affairs.

“Ah! Miss! Xing’er didn’t see anything! Xing’er won’t tell Master!”

Xing’er’s cry came from behind.

Xie Jinnian coldly distanced himself from Su Xiaoxiao.

Xing’er covered her eyes and whispered, “Madam Nie sent phoenix gra.s.s over.”

Xie Jinnian took one last look at Su Xiaoxiao and left.

Su Xiaoxiao shouted, “Wait, your bird! Don’t you want a bird anymore? Then you should at least want two eggs!”

Xie Jinnian clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He almost lost control and killed someone.

Xing’er secretly watched Xie Jinnian walk away through her fingers. She quickly walked to Su Xiaoxiao’s side and asked fearfully, “Miss, is that Eunuch Jin? Why do I feel that he looks different from before? He’s so scary.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “Which young master who grew up in the City Lord Manor is the same as he looks? If he isn’t scheming, he would have been bitten to death long ago.”

However, to be honest, the eunuch head’s aura just now was too strong. She was also a little shocked.

Su Xiaoxiao picked two phoenixes, put them into the cage, and tied a bow. She asked a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace to send them to Xie Jinnian.

Xing’er asked, “Miss, I don’t understand. Why did you ask the two elders to stay for dinner?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s easy to arouse suspicion if we only keep Xie Jinnian.”

Xing’er understood. “I see. But Miss, will Eunuch Jin… board our pirate s.h.i.+p?”

Su Xiaoxiao corrected her seriously. “How can it be called a pirate s.h.i.+p?”

Xing’er said, “That’s called…”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “A big s.h.i.+p filled with power and wealth.”

Xing’er was speechless.

Not long after, Wei Qing came over.

He was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace and did not disguise himself.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Wei Qing was presented as Mr. Zhuge, who was in a wheelchair, did not know martial arts, and was wearing a mask.

Xiahou Zheng had never seen his true face, let alone how he looked when he was standing up.

Therefore, when Wei Qing stood in front of Xiahou Zheng last night, Xiahou Zheng did not recognize him.

“Second Brother,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

Xing’er bowed. “Second Young Master.”

Wei Qing nodded slightly and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “After the people from the City Lord Manor left, I realized that Dad is also very capable.”

They treated the two elders very well and emptied the wine jar.

Wei Xu was a brave and resourceful general. As sons, they had only seen Wei Xu’s stern side in the past.

…And the side where he died many times when he was delirious.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t hide her admiration and said, “Dad is so powerful!”

Her father-in-law was the best and she would not accept any reb.u.t.tal.

Wei Qing smiled.

Thinking of something, Wei Qing’s smile disappeared and he said, “Last night, when Xiahou Zheng brought people to search, he didn’t even leave out the small compartments and drawers. It looked like a violent search, but according to my observation, every place will be searched by at least three people.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Second Brother is so meticulous that he even noticed this. It seems that they’re not only looking for someone, but also for something else.”

Wei Qing nodded. “Dragon crystal.”

If Xiahou Qing suspected that the fourth dragon crystal was in the hands of the Wei family, Xiahou Yi would be the same.

The difference was that Xiahou Yi knew that Duanmu Qi was Wei Xu.

Last night, Xiahou Zheng deliberately let Yuwen Huai and Yuwen Xi go and lured the two of them to the Hundred Flowers Palace. It was actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only would he frame the Hundred Flowers Palace for harboring criminals, but he would also find the fourth dragon crystal in the name of searching the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao, who understood all of this, couldn’t help but sigh again. Xiahou Yi was really scheming!

Fortunately, she had the habit of leaving important items in the pharmacy.

As for whether they had searched for the half treasure map at the same time last night, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think so.

Min Ningwan probably did not dare to reveal that the other half of the treasure map was in her hands and was eventually stolen.

Otherwise, if Xiahou Yi found out that she had betrayed him, her outcome would be very tragic.

–

In the carriage back to the City Lord Manor, Xie Jinnian said nothing.

He had the box with the dragon crystal beside his hand and the cage with the phoenix birds at his feet.

The big red bow looked a little festive.

There were two other people sitting in the carriage. The blue-clothed guard’s name was Ye Lang, and the gray-clothed guard’s name was Ye Xun.

The two of them were brothers, and Ye Xun was the older brother.

Ye Xun said, “Young Master, what are you thinking about?”

Ye Lang said to his brother, “Young Master is naturally thinking about the dragon crystal. If we give the dragon crystal to the City Lord, our Young Master will have made a great contribution.”

Ye Xun looked at Xie Jinnian and said, “Are you really going to offer it? If the City Lord asks, what should we say about the origin of the dragon crystal? Should we tell him about the Wei family?”

Ye Lang snorted. “Tell them. If they want to use a dragon crystal to drag Young Master down, we’ll do it!”

Seeing that Xie Jinnian didn’t say anything, Ye Xun pulled his brother. “Stop talking.”

At this moment, Xie Jinnian was not thinking about the dragon crystal, nor was he thinking about whether to give up the Wei family.

Instead, he was wondering if Second Granduncle Xiahou Yi had secretly betrayed his adoptive father.

He thought of Xiahou Yan’s death.

In the past, he had no clue, but if Cheng Su did not lie to him, the perpetrators were very likely Second Grandfather and Xiahou Zheng.

–

Xiahou Zheng returned to the City Lord Manor and reported the results of the search to Xiahou Qing. He also said that he had already dealt with the thief who had falsely slandered the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Xiahou Qing was a little unhappy.

His relations.h.i.+p with his son was originally bad, but now that he had wronged his son, it was even more difficult to clean up the mess.

But he could not be blamed.

His son had just come to plead for mercy in the morning, but he was rejected. At night, Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai escaped from prison.

In addition, on the island, other than Yun Lin, Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai did not know anyone else. Anyone would think that Yun Lin was very suspicious.

Xiahou Zheng took the initiative. “Foster Father, no matter how I look at it, what happened last night looks like a conspiracy. It’s targeted at the Hundred Flowers Palace and me. Last night… I offended Yun Lin ruthlessly.”

He told him about his two-hour confrontation with Yun Lin and how he had been targeted by the Hundred Flowers Palace today, making himself look like a fool.

If he fought with Yun Lin, who would benefit?

Xiahou Yan was dead, and Xiahou Yu was seriously injured in bed. He was Xiahou Zheng’s biological brother and had always been on the same side.

In that case, there was only Xiahou Jin left.
