Chapter 1022 Father and son meet

Xiahou Yanyu went back to Mrs. Ru in a daze.

Mrs. Ru just tried on a new walking rocker, and she was quite satisfied.

As a concubine, the standards of clothing and attire should not exceed the status, and now it can be regarded as wearing a walk.

She glanced inadvertently, and saw her daughter's distraught look.

Naturally, she would not have thought that something was wrong on her side, after all, the city lord had agreed to her just now.

So she asked: "Is the son-in-law making you angry again? You, it's time to rein in your temper. You can't rely on your status as the daughter of the city lord for three days and don't let your son-in-law step down."

Xiahou Yanyu's eyes were red.

Ru Madam didn't look at her from the bronze mirror, she turned around and sighed, "Why are you still crying? How much grievance must it be today?"

Xiahou Yanyu said aggrievedly: "I hope something happened on my side..."

This matter is not only related to her mother's lifelong status, but also to her concubines.

Who wouldn't want to be the daughter of the castellan's mansion?

"You said it, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Ru really doesn't have the mood to deal with her daughter's waywardness today.

Xia Houyan said: "Father is gone."

Madam Ru was stunned: "What did you say?"

Xiahou Yanyu said sadly: "Father suddenly left without saying a word, today... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

"Who told you that?"

Ru Furen didn't believe it, "Your brother is full moon, and your father will wait until tomorrow for big things! Besides, I haven't heard that big things happened on the island! All the major factions have come, and really things can be solved in the city lord's mansion. Going out of the house?"

Xiahou Yanyu choked up and said: "If mother doesn't believe it, go ask father's guards!"

Ru Madam hesitated to speak, she couldn't help but clenched her fingers: "Then your father... did you leave anything?"

For example, declare her as the wife of the castellan.

At this time, Xie Jinnian came over.

Xie Jinnian saluted Mrs. Ru at the door: "Mrs. Ru, foster father needs to go out of the house for urgent matters, and let me complete my younger brother's full moon ceremony."

Xie Jinnian's words about Mrs. Ru were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Mrs. Ru's head.

Xia Houjin did not change her title.

Xia Houjin will complete her son's full moon ceremony on her behalf.

Didn't mention a word about her promoting her as the wife of the castellan.

Her face faded instantly.

She still didn't give up, and looked at Xie Jinnian in a daze: "You...your adoptive father...do you have anything else to say?"

"There is one thing."

"Say it!"

"After the banquet is over, thoroughly investigate Elder Hai's matter."

It was like the last thread in Madam's heart was broken.

Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't stop them.

She didn't want Xie Jinnian to see her distress, so she forced herself to turn around.

But her trembling shoulders betrayed her emotions.

Xie Jinnian said calmly: "If Madam Ru is fine, I'll go entertain the guests first."

Ru Madam's nails dug into her palm: "Do you know...why the city lord left?"

Xie Jinnian said, "I don't know."

Xie Jinnian left.

Madam Ru looked at the dressing table full of several large boxes of jewelry, and was so angry that she swung her hands and fell to the ground!

Xie Jinnian heard the commotion inside in the yard.

His steps paused, his expression remained unchanged, and he calmly went to the main hall for the banquet.

Inside the house.

Cailian persuaded: "Madam, please don't be sad, the city lord will only leave if there is an important matter. The city lord has already promised you and will not break his promise. When he comes back, he will make you the wife of the city lord."

Ru's wife said slowly: "Will he do it?"

Cailian comforted her: "Madam, you have to trust the city lord. The city lord is not someone who changes orders from day to day. Besides, he must be very guilty for leaving in such a hurry. He might try to make up for you when he comes back!"

Xiahou Yanyu also nodded: "That's right, Mom, Dad has already released the news, not a promise to you alone, he said the same with his grandfather and uncle, he can't break his word in public. Besides, I can't think of it." What reason does father have to break his promise, and it's not that the woman named Yunxi came back to life!"

Cailian hurriedly agreed: "Yes, ma'am! Missy is right!"

Xiahou Yanyu's expression turned cold: "As soon as Baihua Palace left, father left the mansion. Could it be their fault? Cailian, take care of my mother, I will inform grandpa and uncle!"

Cailian replied: "Yes, Miss."

The autumn wind is bleak.

Xia Houqing used lightness kung fu to the extreme.

After seeing the note, he immediately chased it out without any hesitation.

Although there are many masters in the Mingxia Palace, everyone is drinking and having fun, and the noise is extraordinary, so it is not surprising that they are not noticed.

But the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were dedicated to their duties, and no one noticed that someone had broken in.

This is very strange.

Or, this person is extremely light.

Or, this person is in the Mingxia Palace today.

No matter what kind, he must find out this person!

southeast!

Xia Houqing sensed the slight movement of the leaves.

He took a big stride, jumped up, and walked towards the direction of motion and motion like a wave.

He came to a dense forest.

The movement disappeared again.

He landed on the open space in the middle of the bamboo forest, looked around vigilantly, and said sharply: "Who is playing tricks here? Come out!"

A breeze blows, rustling the leaves on the right.

He moved his ear, raised his hand and slapped it.

A figure soared out of the sky and jumped from one big tree to another.

The figure seemed to have no intention of coming down, and stood on the branch with arms folded.

Xia Houqing looked at him coldly: "You wrote me the note?"

The other party was wearing a full-face mask, covering even his chin.

A casual male voice came from under the mask: "I was just ordered to deliver the letter."

The voice sounds a little old.

Xia Houqing asked: "Who told you to send it?"

The other party stretches out five fingers.

Xia Houqing was puzzled: "What?"

The other party said: "Five hundred gold, one message."

Xia Houqing frowned, not for five hundred gold, this small amount of money was nothing to him, but because he came out in a hurry and didn't bring it with him.

The other party said again: "IOUs are also fine, I brought a pen and paper."

Xia Houqing: "..."

Xia Houqing agreed.

Xia Houqing noticed that when the other party took out the pen and paper, he even wore gloves on his hands, not an inch of his body was exposed, and his neck was also covered.

Xia Houqing immediately guessed something.

The other party accepts the IOU.

Xia Houqing said: "Now can you speak?"

The other party pulled out a small bamboo tube from his pocket: "The answer is here, if you have the ability, get it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he immediately performed his qinggong and slipped away!

Of course Xia Houqing would not let him go, chasing him all the way through the forest, twisting and turning, he came to a cliff.

Xia Houqing said majesticly, "Where are you going to escape?"

The opponent approached the cliff step by step.

Xia Houqing said coldly: "You are not my opponent, obediently hand over the bamboo tube, or you can tell me honestly, I will not kill you."

The other party refuses to submit.

Xia Houqing raised her palm.

Suddenly, the other party looked behind Xia Houqing and shouted: "Your son!"

Xia Houqing did hear footsteps, and subconsciously turned her head to look.

At this moment, the masked man suddenly jumped up and jumped off the cliff with a bamboo tube.

Xia Houqing's complexion changed, and she quickly flew to grab the bamboo tube.

However, it was a step too late, and the bamboo tube and others fell into the endless abyss together.

"Damn it!"

He hit the rock with a fist!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging murderous aura, slowly stood up, turned to look at the person who came by: "I remember you, you are Yun Lin, why are you here?"

This is not the way to Baihua Palace.
