Granny Nie glanced at Elder Qiu.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted, as if a big rock had rolled on the right wheel.

The carriage suddenly tilted to the left.

Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Elder Qiu leaned back against the wall of the car.

Opposite her, Granny Nie fell forward and almost fell to the ground.

Elder Qiu quickly supported her.

Granny Nie’s eyebrows trembled. She was stunned for a moment before pus.h.i.+ng his hand away and sitting back down.

An hour later, the carriage arrived at the City Lord Manor.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and showed the token of the Hundred Flowers Palace that Mother Palace Lord had given her. She said to the guard, “Report to the City Lord that Granny Nie and the Hundred Flowers Palace request an audience.”

The guard did not dare to neglect the Hundred Flowers Palace and hurriedly reported.

Xiahou Qing had returned to the City Lord Manor in the middle of the night.

After returning, he did not see anyone. This morning, when Xiahou Yanyu came to look for him, she was stopped by his trusted guard.

“The City Lord is resting and instructed that no one is to disturb him. Eldest Miss, please leave.”

Xiahou Yanyu frowned.

At this moment, the guard at the door came over and told the City Lord’s trusted aide that Granny Nie and the Hundred Flowers Palace wanted to see him.

Xiahou Yanyu snorted disdainfully.

Her father didn’t even see his biological daughter. Why would he entertain a few outsiders?

Unexpectedly, his trusted aide said without thinking, “Invite him in!”

Xiahou Yanyu was stunned. “What do you mean! Weren’t you stopping me just now? Why aren’t you stopping the Hundred Flowers Palace and Granny Ghost?”

The trusted aide was neither servile nor overbearing as he said, “The City Lord has ordered that no one is to disturb him, except for the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

Xiahou Yanyu gasped and said in disbelief, “But my father is still resting!”

His trusted aide said, “I shall wake him up.”

Xiahou Yanyu suspected that she had heard wrongly.

However, her father’s trusted aide really went into the house to call her father.

She clenched her handkerchief. “How did this happen? What did the Hundred Flowers Palace do to Dad?”

Not long after, the guard brought Su Xiaoxiao and the others into the City Lord Manor.

Elder Qiu was also there. He had alighted from the carriage of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

This was very unusual, but unfortunately, no one dared to ask.

Xiahou Yanyu blocked their way at the entrance of Xiahou Qing’s bedroom.

Xiahou Yanyu’s surprised gaze landed on Elder Qiu’s face. “Elder Qiu, why are you with them?”

The entire island knew about the marriage between the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Nie family yesterday.

It was not strange for Granny Nie to appear with the Second Young Master and Second Young Madam of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but Elder Qiu was not related to them.

No, Elder Qiu and Granny Ghost did not get along. There were also rumors on the island that Granny Ghost had always wanted Elder Qiu’s life.

The more Xiahou Yanyu thought about it, the more suspicious she felt.

Granny Nie said unhurriedly, “I came to see the City Lord. On the way, I met the guest elder of your City Lord Manor, so I brought him along.”

Xiahou Yanyu was skeptical and asked, “Why are you looking for my father?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Do I need to explain to you why we’re looking for the City Lord?”

Xiahou Yanyu said arrogantly, “I’m the eldest daughter of the City Lord Manor. Do you think you need to answer to me?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Nope.”

Xiahou Yanyu’s expression darkened. “You…”

At this moment, the City Lord’s trusted aide came over and said politely to them, “Granny Nie, Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, Elder Qiu, please come in.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and entered Xiahou Qing’s bedroom valiantly.

Xiahou Yanyu also wanted to go in but the trusted aide said, “Miss, the City Lord didn’t summon you.”

Xiahou Yanyu looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s arrogant back and said coldly, “A petty person is often successful!”

“Aiya—”

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted and staggered forward.

Wei Ting held her in time. “Wife, why are you so careless?”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and pointed at Xiahou Yanyu. “I wasn’t careless! She ambushed me!”

Xiahou Yanyu frowned. “Stop slandering me! When did I sneak attack you?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Someone clearly hit me with a small stone just now. Who else could it be?”

At this moment, Xiahou Qing heard the commotion and came out.

His stern gaze swept across the room. “What happened?”

“Dad!”

Xiahou Yanyu pushed away her trusted aide who was blocking her way and came to Xiahou Qing aggrievedly. “You’re finally out. Yu’er has been worried about you all night!”

“I have something on.”

“Dad, why are you wearing a mask?”

Naturally, his father had been beaten up by Su Xiaoxiao’s father-in-law.

Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to pretend to be weak and exhausted her acting skills.

Xiahou Qing did not answer Xiahou Yanyu. Instead, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Out of guilt for Ling Yun, Xiahou Qing felt more he had to compensate for the people around Ling Yun.

He asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao complained seriously. “She hit me!”

Xiahou Yanyu said sternly, “I didn’t!”

Su Xiaoxiao said righteously, “Yes, you did. You even called me a despicable person! Yesterday, in Mingxia Hall, you ridiculed my brother in every way. Today, my brother isn’t around, and you bullied me again!”

Xiahou Qing’s expression turned cold as he said to Xiahou Yanyu in a low voice, “Did you mock Yun Lin?!”
