Chapter 1173 Palace Lord\'s Might
She showed no signs of giving birth for the time being. Granny was scaring her.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "Don\'t worry. I\'ll leave my words here. I\'ll definitely be able to come to the City Lord Manor with you in seven days!"
Granny Nie glanced at her and walked forward without saying anything.
Su Xiaoxiao followed. "You don\'t believe me?"
In Xie Jinnian\'s courtyard, Wuhu heard his mistress\'s voice.
It was so excited that it fluttered in the bird cage, scaring the black crow which was eating!
"Ji! Ji! Ji!"
Crack!
The door of the birdcage was locked by the green-clothed guard.
The green-clothed guard glared at the restless parrot and said, "In order to save your life this time, Second Young Master risked his life. You can\'t go out and cause trouble again!"
Wuhu threw its wings in exasperation!
Damn it!
It was only one step away from bird food!
Su Xiaoxiao didn\'t know that Wuhu was in a house in the City Lord Manor at this moment. She and Granny Nie bumped into a group of people halfway.
The leader was a handsome and gentle young man.
"Granny Nie."
He greeted Granny Nie politely.
Granny Nie replied indifferently, "Second Young Master."
Second Young Master?
The second young master of the City Lord Manor?
Su Xiaoxiao\'s gaze swept across the guards behind him. Other than the blue-clothed guard\'s slightly special clothes, the rest were similar to the guards she had seen outside the Jade Pavilion.
It seemed so.
But why did this person\'s gaze feel inexplicably familiar to her?
While Su Xiaoxiao sized up Xie Jinnian, Xie Jinnian also looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
"This is…"
He spoke.
Granny Nie said, "My medicine woman."
Xie Jinnian\'s gaze swept across Su Xiaoxiao\'s bulging stomach before looking away. He asked Granny Nie, "I wonder how Madam Ru is?"
Granny Nie said, "Ask her yourself."
Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Granny was cold and domineering.
Xie Jinnian smiled and bid farewell to the two of them.
The moment they brushed past each other, Su Xiaoxiao smelled a faint fragrance from the other party.
Ordinary people would not be able to smell such a faint scent, but Su Xiaoxiao\'s nose was already sharp, and her pregnancy was even more so.
"This fragrance… seems to be Xie Jinnian\'s."
Su Xiaoxiao muttered and turned to look at the other party\'s back.
Even his height was similar.
"Let\'s go."
Granny Nie reminded.
"Oh."
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep in the carriage.
Granny Nie looked at someone who was sleeping heartlessly and sighed helplessly.
Su Xiaoxiao carried the medicine box and left the City Lord Manor with Granny Nie.
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep in the carriage.
Granny Nie looked at someone who was sleeping heartlessly and sighed helplessly.
When the carriage arrived home, Su Xiaoxiao immediately woke up and could do it again.
She brought the first aid kit back to the courtyard for Granny Nie.
She was serious about being a medicine woman. She had to finish what she started.
Xiao Ruyan was also there.
With Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu accompanying her, Nie Xiaozhu didn\'t disturb her all morning.
They were not worried that anything would happen to them, because there was an expert like the Saintess watching.
Hence, she enjoyed the quietest few hours in five years. She simply felt her soul sublimate.
"Mother, you\'re back."
She smiled and stood up to welcome her. "How is Madam Ru?"
Su Xiaoxiao placed the first aid kit on the ground. "She fell and had pregnancy complications. She\'ll give birth in a few days."
Xiao Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "She\'s pregnant at this age. There\'s also a risk if she doesn\'t fall, right?"
"How old is she?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiao Ruyan thought for a moment. "She entered the City Lord Manor when she was 16 years old. Palace Lord Yun Xi also passed away that year. It\'s been more than 20 years."
Ling Yun was 24 this year, so Madam Ru was 40.
She had taken good care of herself and looked to be in her early thirties. She still had her charm.
However, it was definitely not just her looks that could last for many years.
Madam Ru\'s methods were not simple.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and said to Granny Nie, "Granny, can you deliver my child when I give birth?"
Xiao Ruyan nodded!
Granny Nie said, "I\'m not doing it."
Su Xiaoxiao\'s face darkened. "I\'m already your medicine woman."
Granny Nie said calmly, "You want me to deliver your child just by being my medicine woman for a day. Don\'t plan too well."
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips.
Xiao Ruyan smiled gently. "I\'ll deliver your child!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Sister Xiao, you know how to deliver babies?"
Xiao Ruyan nodded with a smile. "That\'s right. I delivered Xiao Lin!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Who\'s Xiao Lin?"
Granny Nie said, "Xiaozhu\'s dog."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
-
Hundred Flowers Palace.
The Palace Lord had agreed to bring Wei Ting to the Heavenly Jade Hall to look for him.
She did as she said and got someone to prepare the carriage early in the morning.
Ling Yun sat in the carriage expressionlessly. "Why did you bring me along? I don\'t want to go."
Wei Ting hugged his shoulder and said, "It\'s my idea. I want to call Big Brother out to relax. If Big Brother doesn\'t want to show his face, just wait for us in the carriage later."
Ling Yun\'s expression was indescribable. "I keep feeling that you\'re trying to trick me."
Wei Ting smiled.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Heavenly Jade Hall.
The disciple of the Heavenly Jade Hall at the door frowned. "Who are you?"
The Palace Lord opened his folding fan and said authoritatively, "Inform Ji Minglou that the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is here. Tell him to get out and see me!"
The disciple was shocked. He did not expect the person to be the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flower Palace.
The Hundred Flowers Palace was one of the few major factions on Thousand Mountain Island that were not to be trifled with. More importantly, Madam Ru was the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Jade Hall.
The Hundred Flowers Palace had always been at odds with the Heavenly Jade Hall. They probably had ill intentions today!
Suddenly, a strong voice sounded from behind the door.
"How dare the Hundred Flowers Palace speak rudely in front of my Heavenly Jade Hall. Looks like the Heavenly Jade Hall has given your Hundred Flowers Palace too much face and made you forget your worth!"
The disciple turned around and cupped his hands at the person. "Deputy Hall Master!"
Wei Ting opened a gap in the curtain and looked at him.
This person had very strong internal strength. It looked like he had not attacked, but in fact, the limestone slab at the door had cracked.
He was no different from Ling Yun because the Palace Lord had blocked his internal energy.
The Palace Lord said disdainfully, "Is there no one left in your Heavenly Jade Hall? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a Deputy Hall Master."
The Deputy Hall Master\'s expression darkened. "Outrageous. Take this!"
His arms trembled as he stomped his feet. He raised his fist and smashed it towards the Hundred Flowers Palace\'s carriage.
The Palace Lord snorted coldly and used her internal energy to blast open the roof of the carriage.
She flew up and kicked the Deputy Hall Master\'s fist, sending him back to the ground.
The Deputy Hall Master took a few steps back and bumped into the stone lion.
The Palace Lord didn\'t give him a chance to catch his breath as she kicked the roof of the carriage in midair.
Her figure was light as she jumped up like a furious purple lotus. She grabbed his lapel and smashed him towards the plaque of Heavenly Jade Hall!
"Ah!"
He knocked off the plaque of the Heavenly Jade Hall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Palace Lord snorted and somersaulted back into the carriage.
At the same time, the roof of the carriage landed steadily back.
The entire set of actions was smooth, clean, and decisive.
Only then did Wei Ting realize that on the first night, Mother Palace Lord had shown him and Jing Yi mercy.
