Chapter 1302: Ending

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xie Jinnian had already changed the way he addressed Ji Wanru. From this, it could be seen that Madam Ru had no hope of turning things around.

Then, why did she want to see the Palace Lord for the last time?

“Did she say that she would only see me? Or did she ask me to bring someone else?”

In the Peony Pavilion, the Palace Lord asked Xie Jinnian calmly.

Xie Jinnian said, “She didn’t say that. Palace Lord Yun can decide for yourself.”

The Palace Lord pondered for a moment. “I understand.”

The Palace Lord went to the Flying Cloud Palace. Fifteen minutes later, she carried a hand-eating wild cat out and sat in the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage.

Xie Jinnian stood in front of the carriage window and looked at the little fellow in her arms. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

The Palace Lord said, “Why? You’re not allowing me to take care of the child?”

Xie Jinnian said softly, “No, as long as it’s convenient for Palace Lord Yun.”

The once dazzling Jade Pavilion was like a sinister and cold cage in the night.

The Palace Lord stood at the door and looked down at the little fellow in her arms.

Wei Xiaobao was eating hand food.

Realizing that the Palace Lord was looking at her, she took out her finger and revealed a cute smile.

Palace Lord smiled as well.

After smiling, she touched her stiff cheek.

Did she… smile just now?

Wei Xiaobao cooed, “Woo ~”

The Palace Lord gently poked the little fellow’s soft face. It was milky and soft.

“As long as you come out, you’ll be happy, right?”

Wei Xiaobao agreed, “Woo!”

Xie Jinnian looked at the gentle Palace Lord Yun and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He did not rush the other party.

However, the Palace Lord did not stay outside for long. She wiped Wei Xiaobao’s saliva with a handkerchief and carried her in.

Ji Wanru sat quietly in front of the dressing table. She was wearing a red wedding dress and exquisite makeup. Her face was like a peach.

The Palace Lord’s lips twitched.

In the middle of the night, she almost thought that she had seen a female ghost.

Wei Xiaobao ate her hands and made small smacking sounds.

Ji Wan seemed to have finally come back to her senses. She first looked at the two of them in the bronze mirror before turning around in shock.

“You…”

Her gaze landed on Wei Xiaobao and she became excited.

The Palace Lord said calmly, “Why are you pretending to be surprised? Didn’t you want me to bring Xiaobao over?”

“How do you know…”

Ji Wanru stopped mid-sentence.

She looked at the Palace Lord in disbelief. “You… you know?”

The Palace Lord snorted coldly. “Of course I know. Who can you fool with your tricks? Do you think you’re very brilliant?”

Ji Wanru clenched her fists. “Then why… you… you did it on purpose! You deliberately exchanged the child with me. You wanted to occupy the position of the heir of the City Lord Manor! What a good move!”

The Palace Lord said coldly, “Ji Wanru, put away your shameful thoughts. Not everyone is like you. You can even use your own flesh and blood.”

Ji Wanru choked and said, “It was Yun Xi… She threatened me first… She said that if I refused to leave Xiahou Qing, she would let me die without a burial place!”

The Palace Lord scolded, “What a good mouth to spread rumors! Why would my sister threaten you? You still want to ruin my sister’s reputation before you die. Someone like you really deserves to die!”

Ji Wanru cried, “She threatened me! She did!”

The Palace Lord mocked, “You want to disgust me, right? Alright, Ji Wanru, why don’t we see who you disgust?”

Ji Wanru was stunned. “What do you mean?”

The Palace Lord said casually, “You’re right. I did it on purpose.”

Ji Wanru’s expression turned cold. “You finally admitted it!”

The Palace Lord said, “I brought Xiaobao here today to let you see her one last time.”

Ji Wanru looked at her suspiciously. “Why are you so kind?”

The Palace Lord raised his eyebrows and said, “Of course I’m not so kind. Xiaobao is the bloodline of my Hundred Flowers Palace. She has nothing to do with you.”

Ji Wanru frowned. “Nonsense!”

The Palace Lord gave her a pitying look. “Granny Ghost didn’t swap the two children at all. The young master is your biological son.”

Ji Wanru’s face turned pale. “No… Impossible! You’re lying! You’re lying!”

The Palace Lord lifted Xiaobao up. “Open your eyes wide. Does Xiaobao look like you?”

Ji Wanru looked at the little fellow in the Palace Lord’s arms.

Wei Xiaobao seemed to understand. She took out the small hand from her mouth and let Ji Wanru look at her carefully.

This was simply a miniature version of a little fatty, just like Su Xiaoxiao.

Ji Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

On a night when the child cried countless times, she found it noisy and asked the nanny to carry him far away.

The child reached out to her, but she always pushed him away in disdain.

She was even angry at him and was not even willing to look at him a few more times.

So he was her biological son…

She had missed so much…

She had even poisoned him…

“Ah—ah—”

Ji Wanru felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and tears streamed down her face.

She lay on the ground, unable to straighten up in pain.

Her son…

Her son…

“Ah…”

Tears streamed down her face. Her throat was in extreme pain, and she could not even cry.

Her heart hurt!

It hurt!

She wailed silently and covered her torn heart, rolling on the ground in pain.

The Palace Lord carried Wei Xiaobao out in time to prevent the little fellow from seeing this.

Good and evil would be repaid in the end.

She had asked for all of this.

The next day, there was news from the City Lord Manor.

Madam Ru committed suicide.

It was said that when the servants went to collect her corpse, they realized that her black hair had turned white overnight.

Her fingers were all rotten, revealing her white bones. The door was covered in blood and flesh.

A servant heard her cry all night wanting to see her son.

After the news of Ji Wanru’s death reached the dungeon, Lou Bufan disappeared.

Xiahou Qing issued orders to comb the entire island for him. Even the Assassin Alliance had received the City Lord’s order.

“Lou Bufan, why did you do this to yourself?”

Jiang Guanchao placed the phoenix feather on the table. “It’s time to go out.”

Chen Yu hurriedly said, “Master, I’ll go with you to capture Lou Bufan!”

Jiang Guanchao sneered. “Who said I was going to capture Lou Bufan?”

–

Hundred Flowers Palace.

Su Xiaoxiao and the others came to have dinner with the Palace Lord.

The Palace Lord said, “Lou Bufan has been missing for a few days. There’s been no news of him on the island, but no ship has left the island recently. He should still be on the island. He might come to the Hundred Flowers Palace to seek revenge. Everyone, be careful these few days.”

Wei Ting agreed. “Got it, Mother.”

“Move over to my palace.”

The Palace Lord said.

“I’m not moving.”

Ling Yun said.

The Palace Lord glared. “Are you asking for a beating?”

Wei Ting picked up a tender bamboo shoot that the Palace Lord liked to eat her. “Mother, I’ll move Big Brother’s luggage later!”

The Palace Lord glared at him. “Can’t you learn from your brother!”

Ling Yun said, “I peeled the bamboo shoots.”

The Palace Lord said to Wei Ting, “The bamboo shoots my son picked up are delicious!”

Ling Yun was speechless.

In the dead of night, the Hundred Flowers Palace fell into a deep sleep.

A pitch-black figure quietly crossed the wall and nimbly avoided the patrolling disciples. He infiltrated the Flying Cloud Palace with an excellent qinggong.

Other than Lou Bufan, there was no one else who could use the Meteor Steps to the limit.

Lou Bufan sneaked into the room and came to the cradle, staring resentfully at the little baby inside.
