Chapter 1293: The Wedding, The Serious Wei Xiaobao
Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Feifeng returned to Madam Ji’s courtyard and reported to her first. Madam Ji nodded calmly and rested.
She returned to her room, bolted the door, turned on the oil lamp, and took out the half-burnt letter from her wide sleeve.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Chu Feifeng asked warily, “Who is it?”
“Yun Niang, it’s me.”
It was a little maidservant that Chu Feifeng brushed past.
Chu Feifeng asked, “It’s so late. What’s the matter?”
The maidservant said, “I saw that you weren’t asleep, so I brought you a bowl of silver fungus soup.”
Chu Feifeng did not like silver fungus soup, but to give herself some disguise, she deliberately said that she liked it.
“I’m not hungry. Eat it yourself. I’ll sleep soon.”
“I see. Alright, call me if you’re hungry in the middle of the night. I’ll make it for you.”
“Okay.”
Chu Feifeng agreed. When the footsteps were far away, she dimmed the wick and read the letter under the weak light.
“I have to find an opportunity to send it to Little Seven.”
Chu Feifeng originally planned to leave Heavenly Jade Hall in the name of purchasing the next morning. Unexpectedly, it started to rain in the middle of the night.
Madam Ji was bored and kept Chu Feifeng in the room to play chess with her. She left the buying to others.
Chu Feifeng could only wait for the next opportunity.

At the Hundred Flowers Palace, the three tiger heads were wearing small raincoats and bamboo hats as they happily stepped into the waterhole in the courtyard.
Wei Xiaobao was sleeping soundly in the cradle.
Su Xiaoxiao sat in the room and counted gold.
The last time he went to the City Lord Manor, Wei Ting received 10,000 taels, and Su Mo, who was fifth, received 5,000 taels. She thought that he would not be rewarded for not turning up and forfeiting, but who knew that she would obtain 1,000 taels for being among the top ten?
“One Finger Zen and Qingshan fell off the arena at the same time and were tied for tenth place. However, the two disciples of the Assassin Alliance didn’t go to collect their 2,000 taels. The City Lord’s Mansion didn’t lose out.”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered as she nodded.
After clicking, she realized that something was wrong.
“Wei Ting, why is it only 8,000 taels? Isn’t it 16,000 taels? Where did the other 8,000 taels go?”
Wei Ting was checking the three little ones’ homework. When he heard this, he said, “I gave Granny Ghost 8,000 taels.”
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why did you give her 8,000 taels?”
Wei Ting said, “Su Xuan’s consultation fee.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She asked Granny Ghost if she needed anything else, but she said no. At that time, she wondered why her Granny was so generous.
So it was due to this!
Su Xiaoxiao exploded. “My 8,000 taels!”
Wei Ting freed one hand and wrapped it around her waist. “Alright, alright, don’t be angry. Granny is already far away.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s limbs fluttered. “Let go of me! I want 8,000 taels back! My 8,000 taels—”
–
In the blink of an eye, it was November. It was winter on Thousand Mountains Island, and even the sea breeze that whistled past was mixed with coldness.
Two months and two days had passed, and Wei Xiaobao’s facial features had grown a lot. She was even more adorable and had more expressions.
“What are you doing?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little guy in her arms in amusement.
The little fellow was grabbing her lapels with both hands and looking for rations again.
She was really persistent.
Wei Ting walked over.
The little fellow looked at his mother’s clothes and then at her father, who was beaming with joy. Her little face was extremely serious.
It was as if she was wondering if her food had been snatched away by her father.
Wei Ting said dotingly, “Daddy shall carry you.”
Wei Xiaobao stretched out her feet.
Her feet refused!
At noon, the few of them went to the Towering Palace to eat with the Palace Lord.
Ling Yun was also there. He had been dragged over by the three little evil disciples.
After the meal, the Palace Lord took out an invitation. “The Seventh Miss of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion is getting married. She’s getting for a lived-in husband.”
“Why would the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion send an invitation to the Hundred Flowers Palace? They’re up to no good.”
The Palace Lord said, “The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion really didn’t want to send it this time. It was sent by the City Lord Manor.”
Ling Yun despised it even more.
The Palace Lord snorted. “I didn’t ask you to go. The few of us can go.”
“Up to you.”
That being said, when they set off three days later, Ling Yun’s luxurious carriage had already stopped steadily at the entrance of the Hundred Flower Palace.
The three little ones stuck their cute heads out of the car window. “Grandma!”
The Palace Lord looked at him calmly.
Ling Yun looked like he wasn’t going.
The Palace Lord walked over and touched the three round heads. “It’s really hard on Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu to have such a master.”
Dahu said, “It’s not hard. It’s my duty to take care of Master!”
However, the three little ones pounced on Ling Yun and covered his face with saliva.
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao brought Wei Xiaobao into the Palace Lord’s carriage.
Su Mo and Jing Yi did not appear. They had other missions.
When the carriage arrived at the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, many guests had already arrived.
However, the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was rich and imposing. The entire back street was theirs. The carriages were parked in an orderly manner.
In another carriage, a gray-robed man pointed at the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage and said, “Second Young Master, the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace are here.”
Xie Jinnian looked through the gap in the curtain.
The blue-robed man said, “That masked person is the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace, right? I didn’t expect him to be the City Lord’s illegitimate son.”
The gray-clothed man said, “Illegitimate son? His mother is Yun Xi and was engaged to the City Lord.”
The man in blue snorted. “They were not even married yet. He’s an illegitimate son! Second Young Master, I’ll kill him to prevent him from competing with you for the position of heir!”
The man in gray said, “Don’t be rash.”
The man in blue said, “If we attack at the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion today, we can frame the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion!”
Xie Jinnian’s gaze landed on Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao. Soon, it landed on the triplets.
He got out of the carriage.
The man in blue said, “Young Master!”
Xiaohu wanted to jump out of the carriage again, but his father had already carried him away three times.
He didn’t care. He climbed up again and insisted on jumping again.
Wei Ting waited to carry him away for the fourth time.
Su Xiaoxiao alighted from the Palace Lord’s carriage.
Just as she turned around, Xie Jinnian called out to her, “Second Young Madam.”
Hearing a familiar voice, Su Xiaoxiao turned around calmly and smiled. “Young Master Xiahou.”
Xie Jinnian smiled warmly. “Call me Xie Jinnian, Miss Cheng.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
–
In the hall, the Palace Lord looked around. “Eh? Xiaobao, where’s your mother?”
Wei Xiaobao was chewing her hand.
It was rare for her to wake up during the day.
Su Xiaoxiao came over with beads of sweat on her forehead.
The Palace Lord hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wei Ting looked at her with the furious Xiaohu in his arms.
She took a deep breath. “Xie Jinnian recognized me.”
Wei Ting let go of Xiaohu. “Dahu, bring your brother out to play.”
“Oh.”
Dahu came over and held Xiaohu’s hand to look for Ling Yin and Xing’er.
The Palace Lord was surprised. “Didn’t you change your appearance in the Southern Wilderness? Was he able to recognize you?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Wei Ting frowned.
“What else did he say?” asked the Palace Lord.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “He only said two words. Be careful.”
Palace Lord was puzzled. “Be careful? Be careful of what? Is it a threat or a reminder?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It’s hard to say.”
She couldn’t see through Xie Jinnian.
Wei Ting analyzed, “If it’s a threat, it means that he wants to attack us. If it’s a reminder, it means that he knows that someone wants to attack us. Looks like there is going to be a treacherous plot today.”
