Ling Yun interrupted him. “My father is Duanmu Qi. I have nothing to do with you, City Lord.”

When Xiahou Qing heard that he had acknowledged someone else as his father, he was instantly angry. “Say that again!”

Ling Yun looked at him fearlessly and said word by word, “Even if the sky collapses, my father is still Duanmu Qi.”

The unfilial son did not acknowledge his father and only acknowledged Duanmu Qi.

Xiahou Qing was furious and raised his fist.

Ling Yun did not even blink.

That stubborn gaze seemed to be saying, You haven’t raised me yet and you want to beat me up. Where did you get your face from?

Xiahou Qing was even angrier.

However, he also understood that if he punched him, he would never be able to acknowledge his son.

“I’ll visit you another day!”

After saying this coldly, he turned around and left the Azure Cloud Palace.

He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and teach this kid a lesson if he stayed any longer.

Behind the rockery, Wei Liulang clicked his tongue. “Ling Yun is so tough. Aren’t you afraid that something will happen?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t know if anything would happen to Ling Yun, but if this continues, something will happen to Dad.”

“Yes?”

Wei Liulang was stunned. He turned to look at Wei Xu beside him and said in shock, “Dad… why are you holding a machete?”

Wei Xu looked at Xiahou Qing, who finally retracted his fist and left. “Hmph.”

Xiahou Qing got into the carriage back to the residence.

As one of his trusted aides, Steward Chang naturally knew the ins and outs.

Steward Chang sighed. “City Lord, why did you do this? I should have advised you not to come over.”

He was angered every time yet he returned every time.

There was probably no one else on this island who could anger you to this extent.

Say, your temper isn’t bad either. Why are you like firecrackers in front of Young Palace Lord?

Xiahou Qing said, “I’m his father!”

Steward Chang said, “Yes, yes, yes, you are.”

If the young Palace Lord doesn’t admit it, you’re nothing.

Manager Chang did not say anything he should not have said. After all, he did not want to die young.

After Madam Ru returned to Heavenly Jade Hall, she went straight to Min Ningwan’s courtyard.

Min Ningwan was her and Ji Minglou’s mother. Their father, the previous hall master of the Heavenly Jade Hall, had already passed away.

Min Ningwan was fiddling with hidden weapons in the room.

Since she had nothing to do, she studied hidden weapons for no other reason than to pass the time.

“Mother.”

When Madam Ru saw her biological mother, she could no longer hide her grievance.

Min Ningwan looked behind her. “Why did you suddenly come back today? Where’s Chen’er?”

Madam Ru remained silent and sat down beside her mother.

Min Ningwan put down the half-filled hidden weapon box in her hand and waved at the maidservant in the room.

The maidservant understood and carried down a tray of hidden weapons.

Min Ningwan asked, “What happened that made you abandon your biological son and run back to your parents’ house?”

Seeing that her daughter was still silent, Min Ningwan asked, “It’s about the City Lord Madam, right? Back then, I advised you that this path was not easy to walk. You insisted on following him!”

Madam Ru said, “What’s the point of saying this now? I’ve already already given birth to a son. I can’t live without a legitimate status.”

Min Ningwan said, “Do you know why the City Lord suddenly changed his mind?”

Madam Ru sensed that something was wrong and looked at Min Ningwan steadily. “Mother knows?”

Min Ningwan tapped her forehead. “Did you think that you could rest easy after giving birth to a son?”

As Madam admitted, she had indeed let down her guard with her son as her trump card.

Min Ningwan said, “Yun Xi’s son is still alive.”

Madam Ru’s eyes trembled. “It’s… Yun Lin?”

“It’s him.” Min Ningwan glanced at her. “Didn’t you already guess this? Now that your guess has been confirmed, why are you so surprised?”

Madam Ru was extremely anxious. “I had guessed randomly. Who would have thought it was true!”

After Yun Xue returned to Thousand Mountain Island, she let slip to the people of the Lotus Flower Sect that Yun Lin was a bastard. The people of the Lotus Flower Sect treated it as a joke and told her.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested.

She made a paranoid guess, but thought it impossible afterward.

Madam Ru said, “Didn’t Mother say that it was impossible?”

Min Ningwan sighed. “Yun Shuang hid it from us.”

Madam Ru asked in confusion, “Who did you hear it from? That Yun Lin is Yun Xi’s lson?”

Min Ningwan waved her hand. “Don’t worry about that. In short, your biggest stumbling block now is not those adopted sons, but Yun Xi’s son with Xiahou Qing. If you want to succeed, you have to get rid of Yun Lin! You have to hide this from your brother.”

Madam Ru was stunned again. “Didn’t Big Brother tell Mother?”

Min Ningwan said, “I’ve already said that you don’t have to care how I got the news. Your brother has always been on Yun Shuang’s side. If you let him know that Yun Shuang has always kept her chastity for him, god knows what irrational things he will do again! It’s already difficult enough for your sister-in-law!”

Madam Ru sighed softly. “Sometimes, I’m really envious of Sister-in-law. With Mother doting on her so much, even if Brother and Sister-in-law are fighting, Mother will always stand on Sister-in-law’s side.”

Min Ningwan said, “Your sister-in-law is the biological mother of my grandchildren. How can I not dote on her? Besides, your sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. I’m doing this for you, your brother, and the entire Heavenly Jade Hall. Without the support of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, how can you sit on the position of the City Lord’s Madam?”

Madam Ru paused. “I heard that the Seventh Miss of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion likes the City Lord and wants to replace me?”

Min Ningwan said seriously, “Don’t worry, Pavilion Master Lou will never allow such a thing to happen! He will definitely support you to become the City Lord’s Madam!”

Madam Ru frowned. “Mother, don’t you think Pavilion Master Lou is too solicitous? Does he want me to fight with those adopted sons so that he can reap the benefits?”

Although the Heavenly Jade Hall and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion were in-laws, in terms of closeness, a biological granddaughter was naturally closer.

She was an outsider. Why would Lou Bufan help her and not his granddaughter?

Min Xing said calmly, “Pavilion Master Lou and your father had a strong relationship back then. You don’t have to doubt him.”

Madam Ru said, “But…”

Min Ningwan said, “Alright, you should think about how to deal with Yun Lin. As long as he’s not eliminated, you won’t be the Madam of the City Lord.”
