“You touched him?”

When the Palace Lord saw his expression, she felt that something was wrong.

Ling Yun said calmly, “I didn’t bump into him. I walked into the wrong room and entered Xiahou Chen’s room.”

Xiahou Chen was the name of the little master.

“Why did you go the wrong way?” pressed the Palace Lord.

Ling Yun said, “I just arrived at the door. Steward Chang was called away and said that the City Lord was inside. I went in and saw a baby lying on the bed, so I came out.”

Palace Lord pressed, “And then?”

“Then I came back.”

The Palace Lord continued, “Didn’t you ask anyone where the City Lord went?”

Ling Yun said calmly, “Why should I ask?”

The Palace Lord hesitated.

The few of them smelled a dense conspiracy. They would definitely not believe that it was not targeted at the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Looks like that person predicted Big Brother’s personality. Knowing that Big Brother doesn’t want to see the City Lord, going to that room and not see the City Lord was just what Big Brother wants.”

The Palace Lord asked suspiciously, “Could this be what Xiahou Jin reminded us of?”

Wei Ting remained silent.

“What are you thinking about?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting pondered and said, “I’m wondering if this was Madam Ru’s idea alone, or if the Heavenly Jade Hall and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion were also involved?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is there a difference?”

Wei Ting looked at the Pavilion Master’s wife, who was entertaining guests. “The Pavilion Master’s wife probably won’t allow anyone to cause trouble at her biological granddaughter’s wedding banquet, right?”

At this moment, a guard of the City Lord Manor walked over. “Young Palace Lord Yun, the City Lord invites you over.”

The Palace Lord glanced at the couple and stood up with Wei Xiaobao in his arms. “Let’s go take a look. Xiaoxiao, wait for Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu here.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Got it, Mother.”

The Palace Lord brought Ling Yun and Wei Ting to the room where the incident happened.

The people from the Heavenly Jade Hall and Lou Bufan had arrived.

Madam Ru was hugging the young master and crying. Min Ningwan comforted her daughter with heartache.

Xiahou Qing sat on the chair with a solemn expression and listened to the physician of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion report the young master’s condition.

Ji Minglou clenched his fists.

Madam Ji frowned and said, “What happened? Why was he poisoned for no reason? Who came to the room just now?”

The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was her maiden family. She could not absolve herself of the blame for this incident.

She wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Wei Ting’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. “Mother, the Heavenly Jade Hall didn’t participate.”

Madam Ji clearly did not know.

Ji Minglou seemed to have guessed something and was a little angry at his sister.

However, he did not show it.

Lou Bufan, the sly old fox, was too good at pretending. For a moment, Wei Ting could not tell if he was involved.

Xie Jinnian was also there.

Wei Ting looked at him deeply.

He was also looking at Wei Ting.

When their gazes met, the two of them were very calm and did not dodge.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Can you tell what poison it is?”

Only then did the two of them look away at the doctor in the room.

The physician said, “In reply to the City Lord, it’s ten miles of incense.”

This was a poison from Thousand Mountains Island. It was named because its smell was similar to ten miles of incense. The poison itself was not rare, but the antidote was very rare and there was no supply.

Xiahou Qing immediately asked, “Does your Thousand Possibilities Pavilion have an antidote?”

Lou Bufan said, “Only the Five Poison Sect has the antidote for ten miles of incense. I’ll send someone to buy the antidote now!”

Madam Ji immediately suspected, “Could it be the Five Poison Sect?”

Lou Bufan said, “The Five Poison Sect didn’t receive an invitation and didn’t come to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion today. I think the murderer should be among the guests today.”

Wei Ting wondered if this old man was a participant or a looking for remedy for the aftermath.

Xiahou Qing looked up and saw Ling Yun, the Palace Lord, and Duanmu Yun.

He said, “You’re here.”

The Palace Lord carried the little fatty and brought her two sons in.

The Palace Lord asked indifferently, “What happened? Why did you call my son over?”

Min Ningwan said suspiciously, “Chen’er was poisoned. I heard from Cai Lian that Young Palace Lord Yun entered Chen’er’s room.”

The Palace Lord said in surprise, “Oh, so you suspect that my son poisoned the young master? Did anyone see my son poison him with their own eyes? If not, you’re slandering him!”

Min Ningwan said hatefully, “You know very well whether I’m slandering you or not!”

The Palace Lord was not afraid of her. “You make it sound like you’ve already decided that my son poisoned the young master. I want to ask you, if there’s no grudge between us, why did my son poison the young master?”

Min Ningwan complained angrily, “No grudges? Who would believe you if you asked everyone present? Back then, Yun Xi caused my daughter to be poisoned and she almost lost her life. I haven’t settled this score with your Hundred Flowers Palace, but you guys have been blaming my daughter for Yun Xi’s death for many years! Now, you don’t even let off a two-month-old baby! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!”

Ling Yun clenched his fists as killing intent flashed across his eyes.

Wei Ting grabbed his wrist.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Ling’er, when you came over, did you see anyone suspicious nearby?”

Ling Yun remained silent.

Wei Ting said, “My brother didn’t enter the room at all.”

Cai Lian said, “Nonsense! I saw him go in!”

Wei Ting sneered. “So you were nearby at that time. In that case, why did you leave your young master alone in the room? Are you the suspicious person?”

“I…”

Cai Lian choked.

“City Lord!”

At this moment, another guard of the City Lord Manor entered the house with a medicine bottle. “I found this in the carriage of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

The Palace Lord’s expression turned cold as he said to Xiahou Qing, “You went to search the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage? This is your trust in Yun Lin!”

Xiahou Qing hesitated.

The physician took the medicine bottle and carefully checked it before answering, “City Lord, this is ten miles of incense!”

Madam Ru hugged the little master and cried uncontrollably.

Min Ningwan said angrily, “The witness and material evidence are here. What else can your Hundred Flowers Palace deny?”

–

In the backyard.

After hearing the servant’s report, the Madam said calmly, “I understand.”

The servant retreated respectfully.

Madam Pavilion Master looked calmly at Su Xiaoxiao. “The poison was found in your Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage. Your brother can’t escape punishment.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Madam Pavilion Master, no matter how much our Hundred Flowers Palace wants to deal with Ji Wanru, we won’t take action at your granddaughter’s wedding.”

Madam Pavilion Master said coldly, “Your Hundred Flowers Palace has always been bold. Why would you care about this?”

“Before you come to a conclusion, there’s something you might as well see.”

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she handed Madam Pavilion Master a letter.

After Madam Pavilion Master finished reading, she frowned. “Who asked you to spout nonsense?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Did I spout nonsense? Madam Pavilion Master, send someone to the Holy Maiden Temple in the Southern Wilderness to meet your sister-in-law.”

Madam Pavilion Master frowned and said, “Sister-in-law was clearly locked up because she had leprosy back then.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If she had leprosy, she would have died after so many years. If Madam Pavilion Master doesn’t believe that she discovered your husband’s secret with Min Ningwan, I have an idea.”
