Chapter 1240: Face Slapping
Madam Ru handed the child to the nanny and rushed over, stopping the group of people from the Hundred Flowers Palace who had already walked out of the main hall.
The group was furious and their expressions were very ugly.
The Palace Lord was carrying Wei Xiaobao in her arms. In order to prevent the sun from piercing her eyes, Ling Yin held a peach blossom umbrella above their heads.
Xiaohu fell asleep in Su Mo’s arms.
Dahu and Erhu had their hands held by Su Xiaoxiao, looking cute.
Many guests at the banquet were looking at the triplets.
This was the first time they had seen triplets, and they were so cute.
After many Madams and daughters saw them, they were not even interested in the young master of the City Lord Manor. They only wanted to hug the three little fellows.
Naturally, their parents were also extremely good-looking.
Forget it. No one in the Hundred Flowers Palace was ugly.
Be it men, women, old, or young, they couldn’t get enough of the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Madam Ji looked at Ji Minglou, who was drinking alone, and sneered.
“Palace Lord Yun, please wait!”
Madam Ru stopped the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
In order to catch up in time, she used up all the strength she had accumulated this month and panted heavily.
The people from the Hundred Flowers Palace looked at her indifferently.
Dahu was also looking at her.
Erhu was playing with the small jade stone at Su Xiaoxiao’s waist.
Madam Ru squeezed out a smile and said amiably, “We haven’t finished eating yet. Why are you leaving? Today is Xiaobao’s one-month-old banquet. How can the Hundred Flowers Palace leave first?”
The Palace Lord said mockingly, “Our Hundred Flowers Palace can’t accept the blessing of the City Lord Manor!”
Madam Ru thought that she was complaining about Elder Hai slandering Duanmu Qi.
She was also very angry, okay?
What had Hai Wuya done to the one-month-old banquet?
However, Hai Wuya was an elder of the City Lord Manor after all. The City Lord could blame him, but she had to give him some face.
Madam Ru smiled and said, “I think Elder Hai must have been deceived by a traitor. I heard that not long ago, the six major sects offended the Hundred Flowers Palace. I believe there must have been a misunderstanding. Why don’t we take this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with the seven major sects and reconcile with one another?”
She deliberately did not include Heavenly Jade Hall.
The Palace Lord snorted. “Reconcile? They’ve already hit my Hundred Flowers Palace. Who wants to reconcile with them? I’m just planning to wait for the children to grow up. I’ll beat them back one by one!”
Madam Ru choked.
At this moment, the various sects in the main and side halls of the Clear Dawn Hall heard her domineering words. To be honest, they were not surprised at all.
This was because if she swallowed her anger, she wouldn’t be Palace Lord Yun Shuang of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The six major sects were also stubborn. They even dared to bully the Hundred Flowers Palace.
However, speaking of which, after mobilizing so many experts and disciples, they actually failed to take down a single Hundred Flowers Palace. The major sects had lost all their face.
The people from the Lotus Flower Sect, the Hidden Sword Villa, the Mount Wu Sect, the Arhat Sect, the Seven Green Sect, and the Five Poison Sect were all here.
Strictly speaking, these six sects were the main force attacking the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Although Ji Minglou of the Heavenly Jade Hall was also present, he was very strange that night. At first, he fought fiercely with the Hundred Flowers Palace’s Palace Master, but later on, he went to help the Hundred Flowers Palace deal with them.
“The Hundred Flowers Palace is really arrogant!”
The person who spoke was the Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect.
Her disciple, Saintess Red Lotus, also came to the City Lord Manor today.
The Palace Lord said viciously, “Why? Your disciple lost to my daughter-in-law’s guard. As her master, are you going to stand up for her? I’m just afraid that you’re bluffing. You don’t have the guts!”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect slammed the table and stood up!
The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master said coldly, “This is the City Lord Manor. I advise you not to be too arrogant.”
Ling Yin stepped forward. “When did my Palace Lord become arrogant in City Lord Manor? My Palace Lord is clearly very arrogant in the entire Thousand Mountain Island!”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
And so was everyone else.
“Alright, everyone, stop arguing.”
Madam Ru used the dignity of a matriarch to suppress the dissatisfaction of the other sects with the Hundred Flowers Palace.
She could hear Yun Shuang’s love for her daughter-in-law and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao. “Second Young Madam, I didn’t entertain you well today. I will definitely persuade the City Lord to investigate Elder Hai’s matter. Someone wants to sow discord between the City Lord Manor and the Hundred Flowers Palace. It’s best if we don’t fall into a trap.”
It was not a relationship between the two sides. They just wanted to deal with her father-in-law and the few of them.
Su Xiaoxiao saw through it and didn’t expose her. “Thank you for your hospitality, Madam Ru. It’s getting late. We should head back.”
“My mother asked you to stay because she gave you face. Don’t fail to appreciate her kindness!”
Accompanied by a cold and arrogant voice, a young woman in a lake blue dress slowly walked over.
Her facial features were exquisite, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Xiahou Qing and Madam Ru.
She called Madam Ru Mother.
Her identity was self-evident: This was Madam Ru’s daughter with Xiahou Qing, Xiahou Yanyu.
She was already married, and her husband’s family was a descendant of a hidden sect.
She had also come to the City Lord Manor today. At the entrance of the side hall of the Ming Xia Hall, she met a few old friends and was exchanging pleasantries with them.
The Palace Lord chuckled. “A concubine. What big gestures.”
Xiahou Yanyu’s eyes turned cold. “My mother is already the Madam of the City Lord. Your Hundred Flowers Palace can forget about talking nonsense!”
This voice was very loud and all the guests heard it.
Madam Ru hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
Xiahou Yanyu said unhappily, “What are you laughing at?”
Cai Lian walked over and whispered something to Xiahou Yanyu.
Xiahou Yanyu frowned. “It hasn’t been announced yet?”
Cai Lian said in a low voice, “It was delayed by Elder Hai. However, the City Lord has already told Madam just now that he will make Madam the City Lord’s official wife.”
Xiahou Yanyu relaxed. “In that case, I’m not wrong. I’ll go see Dad.”
The Palace Lord said, “Let’s go!”
Madam Ru beckoned, “Palace Lord Yun!”
Xiahou Yanyu held her arm and said in a loud voice, “Mother, some people don’t want face. No matter how tolerant and magnanimous you are, it’s useless. It’s going to be your Madam City Lord ceremony soon. Let’s hurry in and prepare.”
Everyone also felt that the Hundred Flowers Palace was not giving Madam Ru respect.
It was fine if she did not like Madam Ru in the past, but now that Madam Ru was about to become the City Lord’s Madam, she was still acting like this.
The good days of the Hundred Flowers Palace were over.
Xiahou Yanyu and Madam Ru returned to the room.
It was a pity that she could not get the two children engaged on the spot, but when she thought about how she was about to become the City Lord’s Madam, it was the same if she mentioned the marriage in the future.
Madam Ru looked at herself in the bronze mirror, dressed in luxurious clothes and bejeweled. A smile appeared on her face.
Her 24 years of waiting were not in vain. She had finally reached her goal.
She was clearly from a prominent family, but because she appeared a step later than Yun Xi, she could only be a concubine.
Yun Xi, the throne that you didn’t sit on until your death is mine now.
Xiahou Yanyu smiled and said, “I’ll look for Dad!”
In a while, her father would hold her mother’s hand and accept everyone’s worship to officially confirm her mother’s identity.
From now on, she was also the legitimate daughter of the City Lord.
Xiahou Yanyu went to Xiahou Qing’s room excitedly.
However, when she pushed open the door, she realized that it was empty. There was no one inside!
“Where’s my father?”
She quickly asked the guard at the door.
The guard said, “The City Lord has gone out.”
Xiahou Yanyu was stunned. “Where did he go?”
The guard said, “I’m not sure.”
“Did my father say when he would be back?”
“He… won’t be coming back today.”
“What?!”
These words were like a blow to her head!
Today was the big day of her mother and brother. Did her father leave them behind just like that?
What exactly happened?
Was it more important than his only wife and son?
