“Do I need your approval for my son and me?”

“Who’s your son? Don’t think I don’t know!”

The two of them fell out in public for the sake of Ling Yun.

Yun Xue, the four elders, and all the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace were stunned.

Putting aside the truth of the Palace Lord’s man for the time being, they had only interacted with each other for a short period of time. There was no evaluation of his temper.

However, Xiahou Qing had been the City Lord for many years. Everyone knew his personality.

In his early years, he had the high spirits and impulsiveness of a young man. As he grew older and more experienced, he had long developed a calm personality.

This was the first time he had gotten angry with someone for no reason.

Wei Xu said, “Let go. Don’t hurt my son!”

Xiahou Qing was completely enraged. “Let go too! If you dare to acknowledge my son again, I’ll kill you!”

Wei Xu let go.

He really did not want to accidentally injure Ling Yun.

Ling Yun said coldly to Xiahou Qing, “Let go too.”

Xiahou Qing gritted his teeth and slowly let go of Ling Yun’s hand.

In the next second, he punched Wei Xu.

Wei Xu grabbed his heavy fist in time.

The two of them looked at each other and glanced at Palace Lord and Su Xiaoxiao from the corner of their eyes. They still had a tacit understanding as they swept to the side.

The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace nimbly retreated to the side, afraid that they would be affected by the cultivation of the two big bosses.

Yun Xue thought that her martial arts were strong, but seeing that everyone was dodging so easily that even Yun Shuang pulled the two children back to the corridor, she could not help but take two steps to the side.

The two of them did not use weapons. Their fists hit flesh and bones, making one’s blood boil!

Yun Xue could not take her eyes off Wei Xu.

He was wearing a mask today, but Yun Xue had long seen his peerlessly handsome face.

His tall and burly figure was not at a disadvantage when fighting the City Lord. Every move was filled with charm and majestic power.

The Palace Lord couldn’t take her eyes off it.

However, she was not looking at any of the men. She was looking at the commotion.

She subconsciously took out the melon seeds in her pouch.

Su Xiaoxiao held her hand and whispered, “Mother, persona, persona.”

As a wife, she should be very worried about her husband fighting with the City Lord.

The Palace Lord came back to her senses and coughed lightly. She reluctantly put the melon seeds back and frowned, forcing a worried expression.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Ling Yin, “Take the stool away too.”

“Oh.”

Ling Yin quietly carried the small stool over and silently moved it back into the house.

The four elders whispered a few words and nodded. With Elder Yi in the lead, they walked towards the Palace Lord, Ling Yun, and Su Xiaoxiao.

Elder Yi said, “Palace Lord.”

The Palace Lord said, “I understand. Ling Yin, bring the elders to Bright Joy Pavilion. I’ll be right there.”

Ling Yin said to the elders, “Elder Yi, Elder Feng, Elder Qi, Elder Yue, please.”

Bright Joy Pavilion was in Azure Cloud Palace and was used for discussions.

However, because Ling Yun was not very enthusiastic about the duties and power of the Young Palace Lord, Bright Joy Pavilion was basically idle.

The four elders followed Ling Yin.

The Palace Lord said to Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Yun, “Are the two of you waiting for me here or are you going to the Flying Cloud Palace?”

“What do you think, Big Brother?”

Su Xiaoxiao respected Ling Yun’s opinion.

“Let’s go to the study.”

Ling Yun said.

This meant that he would stay in the Azure Cloud Palace.

True.

After going to the Flying Cloud Palace, the City Lord would follow. In order not to let the City Lord pester Ling Yun, Wei Xu could only fight with him from the Azure Cloud Palace to the Flying Cloud Palace.

However, there were four children in the Flying Cloud Palace and Su Xuan, who was recuperating.

It was better to let the two of them fight here.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and patted Ling Yun’s shoulder like a little elder.

Ling Yun was dumbfounded.

The two of them went to the study.

The Palace Lord went to Bright Joy Pavilion.

The four elders sat on the armchairs on both sides, and Ling Yin stood beside the master seat.

The Palace Lord sat at the master seat opposite the door.

The four elders stood up and bowed.

The Palace Lord said, “Elders, there’s no need to be so polite. Please sit.”

The four of them sat down.

Ling Yin went out and guarded the door.

It was not that they were guarding against their disciples. Their disciples valued rules, but they were guarding against Yun Xue suddenly coming over to eavesdrop.

Elder Yi was the head of the four elders.

She said without hesitation, “Palace Lord, I hope you can give us an explanation for what happened in the Hundred Flowers Palace today.”

The Palace Lord said, “I was indeed faking my pregnancy back then. Yun Lin isn’t my biological son.”

She did not mention Wei Ting.

Because the elders all knew that he was her adopted son.

It didn’t matter how much she doted on this adopted son. It didn’t matter if she announced that he was her biological son.

It was fine as long as Yun Lin was indeed of the Yun family’s bloodline.

Elder Qi asked, “But why does he look so similar to you? Could it really be a coincidence?”

The Palace Lord hesitated for a moment before saying truthfully, “She’s my sister’s child.”

Their expressions changed.

Elder Yi asked in disbelief, “Palace Lord Yun Xi?”

She had two sisters, but it obviously wouldn’t be Yun Xue.

The Palace Lord nodded slowly. “Yes.”

The few of them gasped!

Elder Qi asked, “Didn’t Palace Lord Yun Xi die five months after she was pregnant?”

The Palace Lord recalled the sad past and a hint of melancholy appeared between her eyebrows.

“Sister faked her death and actually found a hidden place to wait for delivery. After Sister was injured, she knew that she would not live long. She wanted to give birth to the child, but she was worried that the child would be framed the moment he was born, so she wanted the child to hide his identity for the rest of his life and asked me to find a good family for the child and never announce his background to the public.

“But I couldn’t bear to let my sister’s child wander outside, so I thought of faking a pregnancy and raising the child as my own. My sister is a Palace Lord, to begin with, so it’s understandable for her child to inherit the position of Palace Lord.”

The few of them were enlightened.

Elder Yi said, “No wonder.”

On careful thought, the Young Palace Lord was indeed more like Yun Xi.

The reason why no one suspected that it was Yun Xi’s child was mainly that Yun Xi had already “died”. Secondly, Yun Xi and Yun Shuang were biological sisters from the same mother. The two of them looked similar.

Even if Yun Lin and Yun Xi were carved from the same mold, everyone would only think that they were of the same Yun family bloodline.

If a nephew could be like his uncle, why couldn’t he be like his aunt?

Elder Yi paused and looked at the Palace Lord. “Young Palace Lord’s father… is the City Lord, right?”

Elder Feng, Elder Qi, and Elder Yue also looked at the Palace Lord.

This was also their guess.

Otherwise, the City Lord’s reaction today would not make sense.

Moreover, the young Palace Lord’s nose and eyebrows did have some resemblance to the City Lord’s.

They did not dare to think about it in the past!

Palace Lord nodded again. “Yes.”

The elders fell silent.

They knew very well how Palace Lord Yun Xi was killed.

Madam Ru was a real piece of work. She had the entire Heavenly Jade Hall behind her. In addition, the Heavenly Jade Hall was in-laws with the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.

They would not tolerate the Young Palace Lord no matter what.

Not to mention that the City Lord Manor had a few adopted sons who had been coveting the position of City Lord for a long time.

The Palace Lord said guiltily, “I’m sorry for hiding it from the elders for so long.”

The taciturn Elder Feng said, “You can’t be blamed for this.”

It was Palace Lord Yun Xi’s idea not to announce Ling Yun’s background.

As the next Palace Lord, Palace Lord Yun Shuang had to carry out the orders of the previous Palace Lord.

Most importantly, the Young Palace Lord was indeed of the Yun family’s bloodline.

Elder Yi sighed and said, “It’s indeed better if fewer people know about this. You and Palace Lord Yun Xi are doing this to protect Young Palace Lord. From City Lord’s reaction, he clearly knows that Young Palace Lord is his son. What do you plan to do next? Do you want City Lord to bring your son back to City Lord Manor?”

Elder Yue said worriedly, “Young Palace Lord is the eldest son of the City Lord. I’m afraid…”

It was not up to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The Palace Lord frowned.

In the courtyard, Wei Xu and Xiahou Qing had already exchanged more than a hundred moves.

A trace of suspicion flashed across Xiahou Qing’s eyes.

In the study, Su Xiaoxiao ate an orange and tugged at Ling Yun’s sleeve. “If you don’t stop them, the City Lord will suspect Dad. What expert in the Western Jin can fight with the City Lord for so long…”

“I want to see him get beaten up.”

When Wei Xu, who was originally relaxed, heard this, he punched Xiahou Qing until he had panda eyes!

Xiahou Qing was speechless.
