Chapter 1155: Mother-child Connection
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Xiao Ruyan and Xing’er entered the Hundred Flowers Palace, Su Xiaoxiao sat quietly in the carriage and waited.
She had never felt time pass so slowly.
After a long wait, another carriage came from the pergola and stopped beside hers.
She looked out of the gap in the car window.
Seeing the coachman put down the footstool, a woman in luxurious clothes walked down.
She was in her early forties and had extraordinary looks.
“I’ll go down first!” With a domineering voice, a seven or eight-year-old boy jumped down.
“Be careful,” the woman reprimanded.
“I know, I know!” The boy didn’t care.
Soon, another boy got out of the carriage. He looked identical to the first boy. Clearly, they were twins.
The last to alight from the carriage was a girl wearing a veil.
The woman led the twins in front with an arrogant expression.
The disciple guarding the door was a 17 or 18-year-old young man.
He stretched out his hand to stop her. “This is the Flower Palace. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
“Outsider?” The woman smiled coldly. “I actually didn’t know that I would become an outsider if I returned to my own house.” Her own house?
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the carriage window up a little.
The woman took out a token.
The young disciple’s expression changed when he saw the token.
The woman scolded, “Move aside!”
The boy who had jumped out of the carriage first said arrogantly, “That’s right! Move aside! Let me and my mother in! And my brother and sister!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the woman steadily.
This person could she be the eldest daughter of the old Palace Lord that Xiao Ruyan mentioned last night?
Was this Yun Xue, who had been chased out of the house?
The young disciple withstood the pressure and said seriously, “Please report to the Palace Lord first.”
The woman said angrily, “Stubborn fellow! Alright, go! Just say that her sister is back! Let’s see if Yun Shuang dares to stop me outside!”
The young disciple called a junior brother over to guard the door before going to report to the Palace Lord.
After he returned, he cupped his hands at the woman. “Madam, please come in. ”
“Hmph.”
Yun Xue dusted her wide sleeves coldly and led her sons into the Hundred Flowers Palace with her daughter.
On the other side, Xiao Ruyan and Xing’er went to the birdhouse to feed the phoenixes.
Other than coming to deliver the seeds of the phoenix flower to the phoenix regularly, she would also check on the condition of the phoenixes. If there was anything wrong, she would bring it back to treat her mother-in-law.
“Why are there three missing?”
Xiao Ruyan asked.
The disciple smiled. “There are still three in the Peony Pavilion. They should be fine. There’s no need to look.”
Since everyone said that there was no need to look, Xiao Ruyan was not in a hurry to cause trouble for herself.
She remembered to look for Qin Su’s sons, but she could not interrogate him openly.
She picked up a phoenix and checked its feathers as she said casually, “The Hundred Flowers Palace is so quiet, unlike my house where my child causes a ruckus.”
The disciple said, “Yes, the Hundred Flowersg Palace is quite quiet.”
Xiao Ruyan muttered, “So tight-lipped?”
Forget it. If she couldn’t get anything out of him, she would find it herself.
If there were children, there would definitely be traces.
On the other side, Yun Xue and the others entered the Peony Pavilion in the main hall.
The Palace Lord sat in the pavilion and drank tea.
She was dressed in purple and was as graceful as an immortal.
Time had treated her well and it could not bear to leave many traces.
She was only four years younger than Yun Xue, but she looked like she was two generations younger.
Yun Xue walked to the pavilion and smiled faintly. “Third Sister is so leisurely.”
The Palace Lord put down her teacup.
Yun Xue patted her two sons. “Go and greet your third aunt. Go too.”
The girl walked forward with her two brothers and called addressed their Third
Aunt.
Yun Xue originally thought that Yun Shuang would be surprised to see the twins, but she wasn’t.
Actually, along the way, no one in the Hundred Flowers Palace made a fuss.
It was as if the twins were nothing.
The Palace Lord ignored Yun Xue, but she didn’t speak sternly to the children and nodded.
Yun Xue said to her daughter, “Take your brother to the garden to play. Don’t go too far.”
“Yes, Mother.”
The girl led her brothers to a nearby garden.
Without the children, the Palace Lord no longer pretended to be polite. “Why did you come back?”
Yun Xue sat down on the stone stool opposite the Palace Lord. “Look at what you’re saying. The Hundred Flowers Palace is my house. Can’t I come back?”
The Palace Lord said coldly, “You have long been expelled from the family. The
Hundred Flowers Palace doesn’t have a traitor like you.”
Yun Xue sighed softly and said, “I was deceived by someone back then. After that, I regretted it very much. Dad had already forgiven me before he died.
Otherwise, why would he give me his token?”
The Palace Lord said, “You were the one who stole it!”
Yun Xue said, “Whatever you say. Anyway, there’s no harm in accusing me.” The Palace Lord looked at her with hatred. “You’re really shameless!”
Yun Xue sneered and said, “Speaking of shamelessness, how can I compare to you, Third Sister? You carried a wild child back from somewhere and said that he was your son. You even made him the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace. You’re making Father and Mother unable to rest in peace!” The Palace Lord said coldly, “You’re not qualified to mention Father and Mother! ”
Yun Xue snorted. “I’m not qualified. I was expelled from the Hundred Flowers Palace, but my children are my parents’ biological grandchildren. It’s not a crime for them to come and pay respects to their grandfather and grandmother!”
The Palace Lord clenched her fists coldly.
After Xiao Ruyan finished sending the seeds, she asked the disciple, “Can I pluck some flowers and bring them back?”
The disciple said, “Of course.”
Xiao Ruyan smiled gently. “I’ll pluck it myself. You don’t have to accompany me anymore. Go do your own things.”
Xiao Ruyan often came to the Hundred Flowers Palace. The disciples trusted her very much. Moreover, she did not know martial arts, so the disciples let her be.
Xiao Ruyan carried a basket and wandered around the Hundred Flower Palace with Xing’er.
They had gone everywhere they could, except for the Palace Lord’s residence.
Even her biological son did not live in her palace. It was impossible for her to let a few unfamiliar children stay there.
For the sake of caution, Xiao Ruyan still stood outside with Xing’er for a long time, but she did not hear a child’s voice at all.
“Sister! ”
Finally, there was a child’s voice.
Xiao Ruyan looked at Xing’er.
Xing’er shook her head. “It’s not Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”
The three little ones were especially obedient today. They quietly played with their “chickens” in the small garden and did not know that Xing’er was only a wall away from them.
Outside the Hundred Flowers Palace, Su Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Ruyan and Xing’er come out.
The two of them got into the carriage.
Xing’er lowered her head.
Xiao Ruyan sighed. “I searched everywhere, but I didn’t see your sons.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened. “Could it be that they are not in the Hundred
Flowers Palace?”
Xiao Ruyan said, “Don’t be sad first. I’ll come again in a few days!” The sky suddenly darkened.
Xiao Ruyan looked around. “We’re going down. Let’s hurry back!” That was the only way.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the door of the Hundred Flowers Palace and felt uncomfortable and lonely.
Bean-sized raindrops fell and hit the roof of the carriage.
The surroundings fell into a mountain rain.
Snap.
A drop of rain landed on Dahu’s head.
He looked up.
Erhu and Xiaohu also looked up.
The rain fell, and the three of them looked at the courtyard door.
Ling Yin hurriedly brought the three of them into the house.
Unexpectedly, the three of them suddenly put down their favorite “chicken” and rushed into the rain.
They ran towards the door without caring about their own safety.
Xiaohu fell, mud splashing all over his face.
Dahu and Erhu pulled their brother up.
“What are you doing?”
Ling Yin chased after the three little ones who ran out with all their might.
During this period, everyone fell at least once, but no one stopped.
They finally reached the door.
But the carriage had long disappeared at the end of the road.
The three of them suddenly felt aggrieved and cried! A familiar voice suddenly came from the pergola.
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu..”
