Chapter 1301: Xiaohu and Xiaobao

Editor: Atlas Studios

That night, the news that Lou Bufan and Madam Ru were going to be executed spread throughout the entire Thousand Mountains Island.

Min Ningwan came to Ji Minglou in a hurry. “Minglou!”

She paused.

The room was dark and there was no hand lamp. There was only the faint candlelight under the corridor, mixed with a few strands of cold moonlight that shone on Ji Minglou.

He was half caged in the night and half submerged in the moonlight, as if he had been cut in half.

Min Ningwan’s heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep breath and slowly walked into the house.

At this moment, she realized that Ji Minglou was holding a piece of paper that had been crumpled by him.

“Minglou…”

She said softly, “Something happened.”

Ji Minglou asked in a daze, “How did Dad die?”

Min Ningwan was stunned.

Ji Minglou clenched the letter in his hand and looked up with red and swollen eyes. He suppressed his pain and anger and questioned, “How did Dad die?!”

Min Ningwan composed herself and choked. “Why are you so fierce to me? Your father passed away many years ago. Have you forgotten or something?”

Ji Minglou gritted his teeth and said, “Is that so? Did Dad really die of illness? Wasn’t he killed?!”

Min Ningwan’s face turned pale. “Who spouted nonsense in front of you?”

Ji Minglou did not answer her, nor did he need her acknowledgment.

He stood up and looked at her with burning eyes. “Why did you kill Dad?”

Min Ningwan wanted to deny it, but Ji Minglou’s gaze made her hide in the void.

Her eyes quickly turned red. “He wanted to kill your sister… What choice did I have? You’re a father too. Would you watch others hurt your flesh and blood? I didn’t want to… I knelt down and begged him… I asked him to let your sister go… but he wouldn’t… I was forced…”

Ji Minglou’s heart was stabbed ruthlessly.

He never expected his biological father to die at the hands of his biological mother.

Min Ningwan cried, “Besides, he hurt you…”

Ji Minglou said sternly, “Shut up!”

He had blocked that slash for Ji Wanru.

It was not that his father had deliberately hurt him.

Ji Minglou turned around and left!

Min Ningwan knelt down and hugged his leg. “I know my mistake… You can do anything you want to me… You can take my life… I’ll use the rest of my life to make it up to you… But Wanru is your sister… Save her… Save them…”

“Them?”

Ji Minglou sneered and grabbed the long saber on the table. He broke free from her hands and rushed out without looking back.

“Minglou—Minglou—”

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

A slender figure appeared in the doorway, flickering with lightning.

Min Ningwan took a closer look and her eyes lit up. “Lan’er! Hurry up and persuade Minglou!”

Lou Lan looked at her with disappointment and hatred, her eyes red.

Min Ningwan muttered, “Lan’er…”

Lou Lan left without looking back.

–

Tonight was destined to be a restless night.

The entire Thousand Mountains Island was shocked by the news that the City Lord was executing Lou Bufan and Madam Ru.

How did Lou Bufan, the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and one of the City Lord’s most valued sect masters, anger the City Lord?

In recent years, Xiahou Qing had been tolerant of the people on the island. As long as they did not cause trouble in front of him, he would mostly turn a blind eye.

It was inevitable that people would think that he had lost his temper when he was young.

Now that this City Lord Token was out, everyone was ruthlessly hit.

“The Hundred Flowers Palace and the City Lord Manor have been at odds for so many years, but I haven’t seen the City Lord deal with them. What has the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion done?”

“Shh, lower your voice. Can you say such things?”

“Could it be the Hundred Flowers Palace’s turn next?”

“Hard to say.”

“Why was Madam Ru also executed? Didn’t she give birth to the young master? Are you sure she wasn’t the made Madam of the City Lord but is to be executed?”

“I heard from the people who went to the wedding banquet yesterday that the young master was poisoned. It was a conspiracy between the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and Madam Ru.”

“Even a monster will not hurt its own children. Your news is probably fake!”

“If it’s fake. I’ll chop off my head for you!”

… .

The Palace Lord didn’t let this messy news reach Ling Yun’s ears.

Ling Yun ate and slept as he brought his three little evil disciples along.

On the other hand, Jing Yi became a curious baby and personally went to the restaurant to listen to the gossip. He only came back after his brain was swollen.

Just as he climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, he was caught by Su Xiaoxiao. “You were slapped by Lou Bufan the last time. You haven’t recovered yet, but you’re running around again!”

The assassin who captured Seventh Miss and Madam Ru was Jing Yi and Su Mo in disguise.

Actually, regardless of whether Madam Ru had framed Ling Yun or not, they would think of a way to expose Lou Bufan and Min Ningwan.

It was Madam Ru who did not stop and doubled the impact of this plan with half the effort.

She was simply courting death.

The three little ones were playing with building blocks in the house.

Xing’er made a bottle of milk for Wei Xiaobao.

Xiaohu put down the building blocks and ran to Xing’er’s side. “Sister Xing’er, Xiaohu will feed her!”

Xing’er smiled and said, “Xiaohu, do you want to feed your sister?”

“Yes!”

Xiaohu nodded.

“Can you feed her?”

“I can!”

Xiaohu patted his chest.

Xing’er handed the milk bottle to Xiaohu.

Xiaohu stepped onto the small stool and fed his sister.

Seeing that he was feeding her well, Xing’er stopped looking at him and went to fold Wei Xiaobao’s clothes.

Wei Xiaobao was feeding so hard that she could sweat.

Suddenly.

With a pop, the pacifier in her mouth was pulled away.

Wei Xiaobao widened her eyes and saw Xiaohu drinking from the milk bottle.

Wei Xiaobao was speechless!

Xiaohu finished it and ran over to look for Xing’er. “Sister is done drinking.”

Xing’er was surprised. “So soon?”

Xiaohu said seriously, “She didn’t drink enough.”

Xing’er came to the cradle. “Aren’t you full?”

Wei Xiaobao: “Wow…”

She had only taken a few sips!

Xing’er touched Wei Xiaobao’s stomach. It was indeed deflated.

Xing’er went to soak another bottle.

Xiaohu said cutely, “Xiaobao still needs to be fed!”

Xing’er said, “Alright.”

Then Xiaohu finished his sister’s milk again.

Wei Xiaobao’s face was serious.

Xiaohu went to look for Xing’er again.

Xing’er said, “Eh? What’s going on today? Are you not full?”

Xing’er did not let Xiaohu feed her the third bottle. She would feed it herself.

Wei Xiaobao calmly stretched out her foot.

She pushed the milk bottle to Xiaohu’s mouth.

You feed.

Xiaohu burped.

Xing’er was speechless.

–

In the middle of the night, everyone rested.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Ever since the Hundred Flowers Palace strengthened its defenses, many disciples would be on duty at the entrance all night.

One of the disciples asked warily, “Who are you?”

“Someone from the City Lord Manor.”

Accompanied by a mature and clear man’s voice, the curtain was lifted by a well-defined hand.

Xie Jinnian slowly walked down.

The disciple said neither servile nor overbearing, “So it’s Second Young Master. Why are you visiting late at night?”

Xie Jinnian said, “Madam Ru wants to see Palace Lord Yun one last time.”
