Chapter 1153: Secret of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Her Son
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to delay and immediately went to Granny’s courtyard. On the other side, Xiao Ruyan, who had just bathed Nie Xiaozhu, also received the news.
Beauty Xiao, who had been gently wiping her son a second ago, slapped the towel on his head in the next moment. “Wipe it yourself!”
Nie Xiaozhu, who had suddenly experienced ice and fire, was speechless.
Xiao Ruyan even used her qinggong and arrived at the north courtyard at about the same time as Su Xiaoxiao.
The Saintess was fighting fiercely with a gray-haired granny.
On the way here, Su Xiaoxiao was still worried that with the Saintess’s skills, a life would be lost if she couldn’t control her strength.
However, when she arrived, she realized that the granny in front of her was an expert!
Not only was her internal strength deep, but her movement technique was also extremely strange.
Xiao Ruyan rushed over to separate the two of them. ‘Mother! Stop fighting! We’re on the same side!” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Cheng Xin, stop!”
The Saintess stopped.
Xiao Ruyan also hugged her mother-in-law. “Mother!”
The mother-in-law glanced at the Saintess and then at Su Xiaoxiao. “Is she yours?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao bowed. “I’m Qin Su. Greetings, Granny.”
Everyone in the residence called her Granny, so Su Xiaoxiao did so.
Xiao Ruyan held her mother-in-law’s arm and wheedled. “Mother, she’s the friend of Xiaozhu I told you about.”
Xing’er’s eyes widened. Xiaozhu’s… friend?
Xiao Ruyan said, “She suffered at sea. It was Xiaozhu who insisted on begging me to save her on the ship.”
Su Xiaoxiao said sincerely, “Cheng Xin is my guard. If she offended you, I’ll apologize to you here.”
Granny said indifferently, “You have a puppet as a guard. You have a powerful background.”
Su Xiaoxiao paused.
She had actually seen through her… Xiao Ruyan glanced at the Saintess in surprise.
“She didn’t offend me.”
With that, Granny walked into the house on her walking stick without looking back.
Xiao Ruyan lifted her skirt and chased after her very obsequiously. “Mother, I’ll give you pancakes to eat!”
As she walked, she turned around and said silently to Su Xiaoxiao, “I’ll look for you later.”
Yu Ru also said, “I’ll help Madam first. Don’t take it to heart. Granny’s personality is like this. She’s not targeting you.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and walked back with Xing’er and the Saintess.
The Saintess followed behind.
Xing’er asked softly, “Miss, what’s going on?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Granny discovered the Saintess and mistakenly thought that someone’s puppet had barged into the house. It’s my fault for not informing them in advance.”
It was mainly because she did not expect the Saintess’ identity as a puppet to be exposed.
This granny was not simple.
After returning to the courtyard, the Saintess used her qinggong to jump onto the roof and sat there in a daze.
About half an hour later, Xiao Ruyan came over.
Su Xiaoxiao had already made tea and was waiting for her.
Xing’er tactfully left.
Su Xiaoxiao said apologetically, “I’m sorry for hiding Cheng Xin’s identity from you.”
Xiao Ruyan comforted her. “A puppet is also a guard. You can’t be considered to be lying. Moreover, my mother-in-law made the first move today. She didn’t hurt Miss Cheng, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, Granny showed mercy.”
Xiao Ruyan waved her hand. “Don’t be humble. I rarely see anyone who can gain an advantage from my mother-in-law. Your guard is really powerful! Ah, if you don’t mind, can you let her teach Xiaozhu martial arts in her free time?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Okay.”
It should not be a problem for the Saintess to teach a child.
Nie Xiaozhu, who was coaxing his Grandma, inexplicably trembled…
Xiao Ruyan smiled happily. “Then it’s settled! Xiaozhu has always wanted to learn martial arts. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law is too strict. Xiaohu learned a few times and stopped going.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Ruyan, who had no ill feelings towards her, and could not help but ask, “I have a puppet expert by my side. My motive for coming to the island might not be simple. Aren’t you afraid that I have another motive for approaching you?”
Xiao Ruyan said indifferently, “People have ulterior motives when interacting with others. Some want fame and fortune, some want money, and some want beauty… I’m no exception. I want you to accompany Nie Xiaozhu and make him happy. Then isn’t it normal for you to want something from me?” Su Xiaoxiao smiled in relief. “Listening to you is better than studying for ten years.”
Xiao Ruyan smiled gently. “Your name…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s real. My name is Qin Su, Husband Wei Ting.”
Xiao Ruyan smiled. “Oh, mine is also real, Xiao Ruyan.”
She still did not mention her husband.
Su Xiaoxiao tactfully didn’t ask further. She looked at the basket on the table. “What is this?”
Xiao Ruvan smiled awkwardlv. “Just now, I went to give my mother-in-law
pancakes. She said to forget about the pancakes and asked me to divide these seeds clean. I’ll send them to the Hundred Flowers Palace in two days.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Hundred Flowers Palace? Is it… the legendary Hundred Flowers Palace?
Xiao Ruyan did not question if she had heard of it this time and directly explained it to her.
“There’s only one Hundred Flowers Palace on the island. There’s a breed of phoenix birds raised in the palace, and they love to eat the phoenix flower seeds planted by my mother-in-law. However, as they only eat the big full-grained seeds; the small seeds have to be carefully picked.” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Can you tell me about the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Xiao Ruyan asked readily, “What do you want to ask?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Who’s their Palace Lord?”
Xiao Ruyan placed her arms on the table. “Are you asking about the current
Palace Lord or the old Palace Lord?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Is it okay to ask about all of them?”
Xiao Ruyan said, “The old Palace Lord passed away many years ago. I don’t know much about him either. I only know that he was the most powerful Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace. He had a total of three women under him. His eldest daughter, Yun Xue, was once the young Palace Lord, but she was expelled from the family by the old Palace Lord because she violated the palace rules.
“After that, the old Palace Lord appointed his second daughter, Yun Xi, as the next Palace Lord. Palace Lord Yun Xi was devoted to the Hundred Flowers Palace. Unfortunately, she met an improper person and lost her life. She ended up dying with a baby in her womb.”
Was this the one who had something to do with the City Lord Manor?
Su Xiaoxiao continued to listen.
Xiao Ruyan continued, “The current Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is the youngest daughter of the old Palace Lord. Her name is Yun Shuang. The young Palace Lord is her son.” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What’s Young Palace Lord’s name?”
Xiao Ruyan said, “Yun Lin.”
Yun Lin, Lin Yun, Ling Yun!
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.
Thinking of something, Xiao Ruyan thoughtfully said, “However, it might not be peaceful at the Hundred Flowers Palace recently.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why do you say that?”
Xiao Ruyan clicked her tongue and said, “That eldest daughter, Yun Xue, who was expelled from the sect, left Thousand Mountain Island back then and swore never to return in her life. But guess what? She returned! It’s said that she came for the position of Palace Lord.”
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “She had already been chased out of the family by the old Palace Lord. Does she still have a chance to compete for the position of Palace Lord?”
Xiao Ruyan lowered her voice. “Originally, there wasn’t, but I heard that Yun Lin isn’t Palace Lord Yun Shuang’s biological son. He’s a wild child carried back from outside. If that’s really the case, Yun Lin won’t have the qualifications to inherit the Hundred Flowers Palace. Palace Lord Yun Shuang will also be punished for violating the palace rules. The most serious case might be losing the position of Palace Lord.”
Su Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.
Yun Xi was dead and the child was gone.
Coincidentally, Yun Shuang had a son.
Yun Xue also said that Yun Shuang’s son was not born by her.
Xiao Ruyan looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Do you have any grudges with the Hundred Flowers Palace for asking so much?”
Xiao Ruyan was too honest with herself. Su Xiaoxiao also felt that there was no need to hide it anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “To be honest, I asked about the Hundred Flowers
Palace because they might have kidnapped my sons.”
Xiao Ruyan was shocked. “You already have a son? You look so young! How old were you when you gave birth?”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “You seem to have missed the point…”
Xiao Ruyan returned to the topic. “Cough, what do you mean by possible?”
Su Xiaoxiao paused and told the truth, “I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but my sons disappeared on the same night as the people from the Hundred Flowers
Palace.”
Xiao Ruyan said solemnly, “What’s your son’s name? I’ll ask around for you!”
Su Xiaoxiao said as if she knew everything. “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu.”
Xiao Ruyan’s delicate body trembled.. “Three?!”
