Su Xiaoxiao sneered. “Do you think the cage can hold it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuhu flew over with its small wings and plunged into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.

It wanted to lie in a fragrant and soft place!

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the traitor.

At this moment, Xie Jinnian’s personal servant ran over, panting. He looked at Wuhu and panted to Xie Jinnian, “Young Master… just now… Ruyi pretended to be dead… I accidentally opened the cage…”

“Ruyi, come here.”

Xie Jinnian said to Wuhu.

Wuhu did not move.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a bird food. “Wuhu, here.”

Wuhu was so excited that it flapped its small wings until smoke came out!

One, one, one, one piece of bird food.

It had yet to complete the mission!

The mistress was finally not stingy anymore. It couldn’t believe it!

The corners of Xie Jinnian’s mouth twitched.

“How much is one?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed in a second. She came to Xie Jinnian and rubbed her hands. “It’s not expensive. If I sell it to Brother Jinnian, it’ll be the price of kinship!”

At noon, Xiahou Qing went to Xiahou Yi’s courtyard to have lunch with him.

Xiahou Yi had been in a wheelchair for many years and did not even have the strength to raise his hand. It was also more difficult for his to chew than ordinary people and he ate slowly.

Xiahou Qing fed him as usual and patiently wiped his mouth.

“Second Uncle, the weather is good today. I’ll push you to the garden for a walk.”

Xiahou Yi sat quietly in the wheelchair.

Xiahou Qing came behind him and pushed him out with both hands on the wheelchair.

As soon as the two of them left, Elder Zhao and Elder Liu walked in with dark expressions.

There were puppets in the courtyard, but they were no match for the two elders.

The City Lord Manor had several gardens. Xiahou Qing came to the one by the lotus pond.

In winter, the lotus pond withered.

This place was bleak and quiet.

Xiahou Qing stopped the wheelchair by the shore and looked at the withered lotus pond. He said softly, “Second Uncle, you haven’t spoken to me in a long time. I miss you so much.”

As Xiahou Yi leaned against the wheelchair, his expression was cold and empty.

Xiahou Qing said, “Before Father died, he entrusted me and my brothers to Second Uncle. I still remember that I almost missed the position of City Lord. It was Second Uncle who helped me. I’ve always been very grateful to Second Uncle. I even thought that if Second Uncle was willing, I could let him take the position of City Lord.

“Second Uncle, you won’t betray me, right?”

–

An hour later, the two elders finished searching.

The courtyard was a mess, filled with traces of a fight.

The two elders glanced at the lifeless puppet on the ground and snorted coldly before walking out of the courtyard.

Steward Chang ordered someone to clean up the event location and everything in the house returned to its original position.

At a glance, it was as if no one had come.

The two elders came to the small garden and cupped their hands at the City Lord from afar.

Xiahou Yi sat in the wheelchair with his back facing them. The cold wind cut his face like a knife.

Xiahou Qing did not tell Xiahou Yi that the two elders were here. He waved his hand.

The two elders had complicated expressions and hesitated.

Xiahou Qing asked with a questioning gaze.

The two elders shook their heads regretfully.

They did not find the dragon crystal.

Xiahou Qing retracted his gaze and said to Xiahou Yi, “Second Uncle, I’ll send you back.”

In another small garden, Su Xiaoxiao was taking the two phoenixes for a walk and examining the rare birds that Xie Jinnian had raised in the past.

“This is a value-added service for Brother Jinnian!”

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

“Hmph.”

Xie Jinnian snorted. “A thousand taels, ten pieces of bird food, and you’re raising your bird.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s Brother Jinnian’s wish now! As long as the bird food is in place, Ruyi is in place at any time! Brother Jinnian, do you want another ten pieces of bird food? Accumulate a hundred and I’ll give you ten! for free!”

“Young Master!”

Ye Lang quickly walked over.

“How is it?” Xie Jinnian asked.

“The dragon crystal Ruyi let the golden eagle put in disappeared. The two elders returned empty-handed.”

Ye Lang frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed. “Are you sure? Did you see wrongly?”

“I’ve been guarding outside and saw the two elders come out empty-handed.”

Ye Lang did not deliberately hide. After all, it was meaningless to hide in front of the two of them.

He was standing outside according to Young Master’s instructions.

“You lost.” Xie Jinnian said to Su Xiaoxiao, “5,000 taels.”

Ye Lang was stunned. Had the two of them made a bet?

Su Xiaoxiao was upset.

It was not easy for her to earn a thousand taels of silver from him, but she lost four thousand taels of silver to him!

“Did you know from the beginning that you wouldn’t be able to find it?”
