This was too much.

Her father-in-law did not kill Feng Wuchang. He only captured him.

Feng Wuchang wanted to die with them and killed himself after his internal energy was sucked dry by the Saintess.

Xiahou Yan was killed by Su Mo.

Arhat Ming Shi was stabbed to death by Jing Yi, although Jing Yi didn’t mean to stab him…

Arhat Shan Ji was killed by Baili Chen and Wei Liulang.

Arhat Gong had been killed by the Head of the Secret Service.

Only Arhat Ji Huan really died at her father-in-law’s hands.

This Elder Hai actually blamed everything on her father-in-law.

Who told him?

Was it the mastermind?

He was really fast!

The Palace Lord said coldly, “You keep saying that he’s the Great Zhou’s Wei Xu. Do you have evidence?”

Hai Wuya took out a portrait and unfolded it in front of everyone. “The portrait is here! Do you dare to let him take off his mask!”

Palace Lord’s expression changed.

Wei Xu clenched his fists.

“Are you afraid!”

Hai Wuya could not tell that the two of them were guilty. “City Lord, I know that today is the Little Master’s one-month-old celebration. After I avenge the Fourth Young Master and Brother Feng, I’ll apologize to you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he calmed his diaphragm, raised his hammer, and strode forward, attacking Wei Xu ruthlessly!

“Protect the City Lord!”

Lou Bufan shouted and blocked Xiahou Qing behind him with Jiang Guanchao.

“You have a death wish!”

The Palace Lord slapped Hai Wuya.

Hai Wuya’s target was not her. After dodging her attack, he hurriedly raised his sledgehammer and smashed it at Wei Xu.

Lou Bufan secretly sent out a palm strike, forcing Wei Xu back.

Jiang Guanchao disdained.

If he wanted to win, he would win openly.

And he would definitely win.

Wei Xu frowned and dodged to the side. Although he dodged, the mask on his face was knocked off by Hai Wuya’s hammer.

He quickly turned around and raised his hand to cover his face.

The Palace Lord scolded angrily, “Hai Wuya, I’ll kill you!”

“Stop!”

Xiahou Qing shouted.

The Palace Lord’s palm stopped in midair.

Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, Su Mo, and everyone looked at Wei Xu.

Xiahou Wing said in a low voice, “Duanmu Qi, take your hand away.”

The Palace Lord opened her mouth. “City Lord…”

Xiahou Qing said coldly, “You’d better not interfere. I can pretend that you don’t know.”

The Palace Lord glared at Hai Wuya angrily.

Xiahou Qing looked at Wei Xu without blinking. “Duanmu Qi!”

Wei Xu slowly turned around and helplessly took his hand off.

Everyone looked at his face and gasped.

On closer look, this was a stunningly handsome face.

However, there was an inch-long scar on the right side of his face.

Was this why he was wearing a mask?

This scar would definitely be extremely ugly on others’ faces, but on Duanmu Qi’s face, it was like a thorn given by time. It had a different kind of heart-wrenching charm.

No matter what, it was not similar to the person in the portrait at all.

Hai Wuya was stunned. “How did this…”

Jiang Guanchao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Interesting.

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and took a sip of the sweet soup.

They were not stupid. Why would they only make one preparation?

Her father-in-law had disguised himself first before wearing a mask to prevent such an unexpected situation.

“Are you satisfied now?”

The Palace Lord glared at Hai Wuya, picked up the mask on the ground, and put it back on Wei Xu.

She looked at Xiahou Qing coldly. “City Lord, you were the one who ordered us to come to the banquet. If you were just looking for an excuse to deal with the Hundred Flowers Palace, there’s no need to go through so much trouble! Anyway, Sister has been dead for so many years, and I’ve lived long enough! Do whatever you want!”

At the mention of Yun Xi, a trace of guilt flashed across Xiahou Qing’s heart.

He looked at Hai Wuya solemnly. “Elder Hai, are you done fooling around?”

Hai Wuya was stunned. “I…”

Xiahou Qing said, “I don’t care where you heard the rumors. Apologize to Palace Lord Yun and Hero Duanmu!”

Hai Wuya’s mind could not think quickly. If he thought quickly, he would not be used by others.

If it were Xie Jinnian, he would more or less remind him that perhaps he had changed his appearance.

Hai Wuya did not think of the possibility of Wei Xu changing his appearance. His first reaction was that he had been tricked.

He was furious. He lowered his head and cupped his hands. “I was rash just now. I apologize to the two of you.”

The Palace Lord stopped drinking and returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace’s seat with Wei Xu with a cold expression.

Madam Ru hated these people to death.

It was fine if people kept pulling the City Lord to toast, but for some reason, Elder Hai appeared.

She was still waiting to be appointed as the Madam of the City Lord.

Xie Jinnian smiled and said, “Everyone, continue drinking.”

Xiahou Qing went to the room in the side hall to sober up.

Madam Ru walked over with the young master in her arms. “City Lord, are you sad again? Why don’t we forget it? The position of the City Lord’s wife should be Palace Lord Yun Xi’s. My son and I can only accompany the City Lord.”

Because of the strange illness passed down in his ancestors, it was difficult to ensure an heir for the Xiahou family. This child might be his only son.

He could not let him be a bastard son.

Xiahou Qing said, “I’ll do what I promised you.”

Madam Ru was delighted and said softly, “Actually, I… have another request today.”

Xiahou Qing said, “Tell me.”

Madam Ru said gently, “It’s about the two children. I like the little daughter of the Hundred Flowers Palace very much. I’m thinking, why don’t we take this opportunity to let the two children…”

Before he could finish, a guard came to report, “City Lord, the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace are leaving.”

Madam Ru’s expression changed slightly. “So soon?”

The guard said, “Manager Chang tried his best to persuade them to stay, but he couldn’t.”

Xiahou Qing knew that Yun Shuang had been wronged and did not want to force her to stay.

Madam Ru hurriedly said, “I’ll go see them!”

The people from the Hundred Flowers Palace had to stay!

She had yet to arrange a marriage for the two children!

Madam Ru left.

Xiahou Qing had a headache. He pressed his glabella and drank a bowl of soup.

Just as he was about to get up and return to the main hall to announce the appointment of his Madam, a dart suddenly shot in and nailed to the pillar behind him.

There was a note stuck under the dart.

He took off the dart and the note and unfolded it.

There was only one sentence on it: Your son with Yun Xi is alive in this world.
