A black crow flew out of the big tree in the courtyard.
Cai Lian went to pour water and muttered when she saw the black magpie fly away, “Why have so many birds come to the City Lord Manor recently?
Yesterday, it was pigeons, today, it’s crows…”
In the Flying Cloud Palace of the Hundred Flowers Palace, the family held a family meeting in Su Xuan’s room.
The reason why they chose Su Xuan’s room jwas that Su Xuan was seriously injured and could not get out of bed. However, he was a member of the family and should participate in major decisions.
Su Xuan sat at the head of the bed, looking alright.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO sat on stools beside his bed.
The others sat around the round table opposite.
The Palace Lord and Wei Xu sat at the master seat.
On Wei Xu’s right were Ling Yun and Wei Liulang.
On the Palace Lord’s left were Wei Ting and Jing Yi.
There was a brand new red invitation on the round table. Although it said Yun Shuang was personally invited, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Madam Ru’s real target was Wei Xiaobao.
Everyone knew about the “swap”.
If Madam Ru could send this invitation, it meant that she had yet to discover that the baby in the City Lord Manor was her biological son.
It was about what Su Xiaoxiao had expected.
After all, it had only been a few days. Moreover, she guessed that Madam Ru might not have recovered well and did not have the energy to be suspicious.
The Palace Lord said with a dark expression, “The last time she got Ji Minglou to steal the child, he bumped into the seven great sects attacking the Hundred Flowers Palace and failed. She must be up to something again!”
The Palace Lord’s disgust for Madam Ru was similar to her hatred for Yun Xue.
One had killed her sister, and the other had killed her mother. Both of them were unforgivable!
The difference was that before her mother died, she was still advising her not to hate Yun Xue and not to kill her sister…
Angry.
“Mother.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and gently placed the sleeping Wei Xiaobao into her arms.
The entire room looked at her!
The Palace Lord’s heart melted when her embrace was filled by a soft little fellow.
The unhappy feeling instantly dissipated.
The room full of men was dying of hunger.
They wanted to hug the little girl.
However, there were three people in the Hundred Flowers Palace from whom Wei Xiaobao could not be snatched away: Su Xiaoxiao, Dahu, and the Palace Lord.
As for Erhu and Xiaohu, they did not know how to carry their sister. As such, they didn’t try snatching her.
“Ahem.” Wei Xu cleared his throat and returned to the topic. “What do everyone think about going to the City Lord Manor?”
Wei Liulang was about to speak.
Wei Xu looked at Ling Yun lovingly. “Ling Yun, go first.”
Ling Yun nodded politely and said, “You can disregard them.”
The Hundred Flowers Palace had always ignored the City Lord Manor.
Wei Liulang asked curiously, “Isn’t the City Lord the king here? His words are like an imperial edict. Is it really fine not to go?”
“This is just an ordinary invitation. He didn’t give the Hundred Flowers Palace a City Lord’s order.”
To put it bluntly, this was Madam Ru’s idea. The City Lord might not even know that he had invited the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Wei Liulang: “What if he gives the order another day?”
Wei Ting asked, “Sixth Brother, which side are you on?”
Wei Liulang snorted. “I was just asking casually.”
The Palace Lord said, “If he really gave the City Lord’s order, we have no choice but to go.”
Wei Xu looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who had returned to Su Xuan’s side. “Xiaoxiao, Mo’er, Xuan’er, what do you think?”
‘What do you think, Sister?” Su MO asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If we have to after receiving the City Lord’s order, you can only go.”
Su MO said seriously, “I can bring you and Xiaobao out of the island first.”
“Not to that extent,” said the Palace Lord. “If you really want to reject the City
Lord’s order, I have a solution.”
Wei Liulang asked excitedly, “What method?”
The Palace Lord said, “Let’s strike first. Didn’t the City Lord Manor send us an invitation? We’ll send one to the City Lord Manor too! Before his City Lord’s order reaches the Hundred Flowers Palace, we’ll send ours to the various sects on the island! When the time comes, what’s done will be done. It won’t be good for him to force us to move the full month banquet to the City Lord Manor.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “Good idea! The child has only been born for a few days, but Madam Ru is already so anxious to send an invitation to the Hundred Flowers Palace. She probably has the intention to seize the initiative. Let’s send an invitation to the City Lord Manor as soon as possible.”
Wei Liulang said skeptically, “Will the City Lord agree?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Whether he agrees or not, we can send the invitation first.”
Wei Liulang thought that it made sense. “Little Seven, are you going to write it or who will write it?”
Wei Ting looked at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan smiled. “I’m injured. I can only trouble Scholar Wei.”
However, things did not go as planned. Wei Ting had just finished writing the invitation and stamped it with the seal of the Hundred Flowerd Palace when someone rrom tne City Lora manor came agam..
