Chapter 1298: The City Lord Knows the Truth

Editor: Atlas Studios

Madam Pavilion Master looked at him coldly. “Give me an explanation.”

Lou Bufan opened his mouth. “Madam, why are you here? It’s very dangerous here. Go back to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion first.”

“Dangerous?”

Madam Pavilion Master waved her hand, and a powerful internal force instantly broke the tree branch at the side.

The huge branch suddenly fell towards Madam Ru.

Seeing this, Lou Bufan hurriedly moved Madam Ru to the side.

“Madam!”

A trace of coldness flashed across the eyes of the Madam Pavilion Master. “Who is she to you? You want to protect her like this and won’t even care about your biological granddaughter’s life.”

Cough, cough, cough!

Seventh Miss suddenly coughed at the bottom of the waterfall.

Lou Bufan’s heart trembled. He suddenly looked at the waterfall and saw that the Seventh Miss, who should have fallen, was wrapped in a big net.

Madam Pavilion Master’s secret guard was squatting on the shore and slowly pulling her up.

“If I hadn’t arrived in time, Yu’er would have died.”

“Madam, listen to my explanation. I also want to save Yu’er. I… I saved the wrong person.”

Madam Pavilion Master’s expression did not change at all. “Lou Bufan, do you think I’m still 16 years old? Am I so gullible? I’ll give you a chance to let me believe you. Throw her down.”

“Madam!”

Madam Pavilion Master said coldly, “I said, throw her down!”

Lou Bufan said seriously, “She’s our daughter’s sister-in-law and the City Lord’s woman. Madam, are you doing this to offend the Heavenly Jade Hall and the City Lord Manor?”

The Madam of the Pavilion Master said, “There’s no one from the Heavenly Jade Hall and the City Lord Manor here now. If you don’t say it and I won’t say it. Who will know? At most, we’ll push it to those two assassins. Or can’t you do it?”

Lou Bufan said earnestly, “Madam, I know you’re very angry, but calm down first. We’ll talk when we get back.”

Madam Pavilion Master asked bluntly, “Is she the bastard child you had with Min Ningwan?”

Lou Bufan shouted, “Madam! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Madam Pavilion Master asked calmly, “Answer honestly and I’ll let her off. If you’re stubborn, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Lou Bufan said bitterly, “Madam, you’ve really misunderstood me. We’ve been husband and wife for many years. Don’t you know how I treat you? Have I ever looked at another woman? You can be angry with me, but you can’t slander our husband-and-wife relationship!”

Madam Pavilion Master looked at him one last time and turned to leave.

I gave you a chance, Lou Bufan.

–

Madam Pavilion Master carried her granddaughter into the carriage.

Her granddaughter cried and fell asleep on her lap.

The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion blocked the news. The guests were received by the Lou family’s son and daughter-in-law, so nothing went wrong.

The carriage drove in from the back door of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.

Min Ningwan had been guarding here because she cared about her daughter’s safety.

Seeing the Madam Pavilion Master alight from the carriage, she hurriedly asked, “In-law, how is it?”

Madam Pavilion Master raised her hand and slapped her.

Slap!

This slap stunned Min Ningwan.

However, before she could react, Madam Pavilion Master slapped her again!

Min Ningwan could be considered to have some martial arts skills, but she was far from being a match for Madam Pavilion Master.

Blood came out of the corner of her mouth.

“Mother!”

When Ji Minglou saw this scene from the second floor, he flew down and blocked Min Ningwan.

Madam Pavilion Master said coldly, “Move away, or I’ll teach you a lesson too!”

“Mother, what are you doing?”

Madam Ji rushed over and stopped the Madam Pavilion Master. “Mother! Why did you attack Mother-in-law?”

Madam Ji’s original name was Lou Lan. She was the only daughter of Lou Bufan and Madam Pavilion Master.

Ji Minglou said solemnly, “Mother-in-law, I respect you as an elder, but if you hurt my mother again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Lou Lan said anxiously, “Stop arguing. Tell me slowly!”

Madam Pavilion Master said to Lou Lan, “Yu’er is in the carriage. Bring Yu’er back to her room.”

Lou Lan grabbed the Madam Pavilion Master’s hand. “Mother, promise me not to attack.”

Madam Pavilion Master took her hand out and went upstairs.

–

On the other side, a maid brought an empty teacup to Su Xiaoxiao.

“Second Young Madam, this is what you wanted.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

Su Xiaoxiao took the tray.

The maidservant was the trusted aide of the Madam Pavilion Master. The Madam instructed her to listen to this Young Madam’s orders.

She was a little curious. “But why do you want the cups they drank from? Wouldn’t it be better if I brought you a few clean ones?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No, no, no. That’s all. You wrote the names correctly, right?”

The maid nodded. “Yes, it’s all written at the bottom of the cup.”

Su Xiaoxiao bade farewell to the maid and returned to the carriage to take the tray into the pharmacy.

Soon, the results were out.

“As expected…”

Wuhu flapped their small wings and flew in valiantly. “Bird food! Bird food!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at it calmly. “Have you found the culprit?”

Wuhu nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao rewarded it with a bird food.

Wuhu bristled.

Only one?

Throw!

–

Madam Pavilion Master came to Xiahou Qing’s room.

Xie Jinnian had already brought the antidote back from the Five Poison Sect.

However, because the child was too young, there was no certainty as to whether the poison would be detoxified or to what extent.

“What’s the matter, Madam?”

Xiahou Qing looked a little tired.

No matter what, Xiahou Chen was his son.

He didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Madam Pavilion Master said, “Such a big thing happened today. The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion can’t absolve itself of the blame, so I ordered a thorough investigation. I didn’t expect to find something amazing.”

“Oh?”

Xiahou Qing’s expression turned solemn.

Madam Pavilion Master said to the door, “Bring her up!”

Two secret guards of the Thousand Engineering Pavilion walked in with a tied-up woman.

Xiahou Qing took a look and frowned. “Mo Yun?”

Mo Yun was Madam Ru’s subordinate. Because she had offended him once, she was punished by Madam Ru to be a craftsman in the garden. He had never seen her again.

Madam Pavilion Master said, “She’s the one who poisoned the young master today!”

Xiahou Qing said angrily, “Why did you betray your master? Could it be that you hate her because she punished you?”

Madam Pavilion Master snorted. “She did not betray you. She was following orders. Am I right, Madam Ru?”

Outside the door, Madam Ru froze.

Xiahou Qing looked at the door.

Cai Lian hurriedly left the house and supported Madam Ru, who was on the verge of collapse. “Madam…”

“Come in!”

Xiahou Qing ordered.

Madam Ru braced herself and entered the house.

She was wet and did not have time to change her clothes. She could only put on a thin blanket to keep her warm.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lou Bufan asked his subordinates to send her over. He went to see his granddaughter first.

Madam Pavilion Master said sarcastically, “Madam Ru, you really put in a lot of effort to get to the top. You’re even willing to use your biological son.”

Madam Ru said, “Madam Pavilion Master…”

“Don’t be in a hurry to refute. This person is a sacrificial soldier trained by my Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. She will never betray her master. If you hadn’t asked her to poison the young master, she wouldn’t have taken action on her own.”

With that, Madam Pavilion Master tore the woman’s collar, revealing a scar on the back of her shoulder.

“This is the mark of a death warrior. Every death warrior in the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion has it. The location is identical.”

Madam Ru was shocked.

She had clearly picked up Mo Yun by the roadside. How did Mo Yun become a sacrificial soldier of the Thousand Engineering Pavilion?

Madam Ru said seriously, “No, I didn’t buy Mo Yun from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.”

Madam Pavilion Master sneered. “Oh? Did someone deliberately send her to your side?”

Lou Bufan, you really put in a lot of effort for this bastard!

Xiahou Qing’s expression turned ugly.

Madam Ru quickly walked over and said aggrievedly, “City Lord, believe me. How can I poison my son?”

Madam Pavilion Master said mockingly, “This isn’t the first time you’ve used such a method to frame the Hundred Flowers Palace. What’s impossible?”

Madam Ru looked at the Madam Pavilion Master with a pained expression. “Aunt Lou, what’s wrong with you? Are you venting your anger on me just because Uncle Lou saved the wrong person?”

Madam Pavilion Master chuckled and said, “Is there a need to splash dirty water on you? Have you forgotten that you bought poison from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion to frame Yun Xi?”

Madam Ru’s expression changed.

Xiahou Qing suddenly looked at Madam Pavilion Master. “What did you say?”

Madam Pavilion Master said, “Yun Xi didn’t poison her at all. She bought the poison herself and used the ruse of self-injury to frame Yun Xi. She even deliberately asked you to go to the Hundred Flowers Palace to get the antidote from Yun Xi!”
