General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Xiahou Qing had dinner with Ling Yun at Qingyun Palace. The father and son drank a few glasses, mainly Xiahou Qing.

The matter of the dragon crystal could basically be concluded with the notion that Xiahou Yi had betrayed him. This was much crueler than the betrayal of an adopted son.

Xiahou Qing felt bitter. Fortunately, he found some comfort from his son.

Later on, the three little ones also came over.

“Drink, cheers!” Xiaohu said.

The three little ones imitated their master and poured out the milk from the milk bottle. They clinked glasses with Xiahou Qing.

Xiahou Qing laughed out loud and fell to the ground a few times.

“Ride a big horse!”

Xiaohu said.

“What big horse?”

Xiahou Qing did not understand.

Erhu gestured. “Giddy-up!”

Xiahou Qing was stunned for a moment before understanding.

Were they kidding?

How could he, the dignified City Lord of Fengdu City, kneel on the ground and be a big horse for a few children?

Dahu said to his two stinky brothers, “Grandpa City Lord is drunk and doesn’t have the strength. You still want to ride a big horse!”

Erhu immediately said, “Grandpa is strong. Go find Grandpa to ride a horse!”

Xiaohu jumped up. “Grandpa, I want to ride a horse! Grandpa, Grandpa! I like to beat Grandpa up the most!”

Xiahou Qing was immediately unhappy when he heard this. His face darkened as he said, “Who said I don’t have the strength? Come up! I’ll show you who’s the most powerful horse!”

Steward Chang, who was at the door, was dumbfounded and frightened.

How much had he drunk?

Would he want to stab himself after waking up?

Xiahou Qing lay on the ground drunk. “Come up quickly!”

Dahu went first.

Xiahou Qing’s waist sank.

Uh… this child was so heavy.

“Are you alright?” Ling Yun looked at his red face and asked.

A man had no choice!

Xiahou Qing said seriously, “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, attack together!”

Erhu and Xiaohu climbed up.

One small weight, two small weights, three small weights!

Xiahou Qing’s waist cracked.

Steward Chang was so frightened that he could not bear to look.

“If you can’t, let them come down,” Ling Yun said.

Xiahou Qing gritted his teeth. “…Alright! I’ll let you see who’s your father between Duanmu Qi and me!”

Xiaohu shook his butt. “Giddy-up!”

Xiahou Qing muttered, “Do you have to shake when riding?!”

Xiahou Qing carried the three weights and crawled in the house for as long as sixty years.

Er… three more steps.

“I can’t ride it.” Xiaohu waved his hand solemnly.

Erhu sighed. “Let’s come down.”

Xiahou Qing said, “You’re not allowed to come down!”

He would never lose to Duanmu Qi!

Steward Chang looked at the sky and sighed.

He would apply for leave tomorrow.e was afraid of being silenced by the City Lord.

Xiahou Qing stayed in Qingyun Palace until the evening before getting into the carriage back to the City Lord Manor.

After drinking the hangover soup and sleeping for two hours, he woke up.

Steward Chang stood guard in front of the bed, not daring to breathe.

Xiahou Qing said calmly, “Go out first.”

“Yes!”

Steward Chang left the house, afraid that he would be silenced by the City Lord if he was a step slower.

As Xiahou Qing closed his eyes and held his forehead, the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

“What have I done…”

Fifteen minutes later, Xiahou Qing came out of the room.

Steward Chang hurriedly bowed. “City Lord.”

Xiahou Qing opened his mouth. “Forget it. I’ll go to the Hundred Flowers Palace tomorrow.”

Steward Chang was a little stunned. What did this mean?

Could it be that you immediately want to go after returning from the Hundred Flowers Palace?

You might as well stay in the Hundred Flowers Palace!

“City Lord, are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to make ginseng soup.”

Steward Chang cursed in his heart, but he looked respectful on the surface. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived until now.

Xiahou Qing said with a complicated expression, “There’s no need. Put on a lantern. I’ll go to Second Uncle.”

At the mention of this, Steward Chang looked at his city lord with heartache and said in a low voice, “Yes.”

Thinking of something, Xiahou Qing said, “Call Second Brother over first.”

“Yes.”

Steward Chang went to call Xie Jinnian over.

“Foster father.”

Xie Jinnian cupped his hands and bowed.

Xiahou Qing asked, “Is Elder Zhao awake?”

Xie Jinnian said, “He’s awake. He was very shocked when he heard about Elder Liu. Elder Li and Elder Hai have also returned.”

Xiahou Qing continued, “Is there something going on with the two of them?”

Xie Jinnian shook his head. “I’ve tested them, but no.”

Xiahou Qing didn’t ask about the exact probing process. It was unknown if he was tired or if he trusted Xie Jinnian.

“What did Elder Liu say?”

“No, he has a stubborn mouth.”

“Then kill him.”

A prisoner they couldn’t get any clues from wasn’t worth keeping.

Xie Jinnian was not surprised and agreed calmly. “Yes, Foster Father.”

Human nature was complicated and changeable. Everyone had their own set of rules. Xiahou Qing had his moments of indecisiveness and ruthlessness.

He was conceited and stubborn. He was only willing to believe what he wanted to believe.

And once he lost his trust, he would become colder and crueler than anyone else.

It was the same for Madam Ru, Xiahou Zheng, and Elder Liu.

But there were exceptions to everything.

It was unknown if Xiahou Yi… would become that exception.

Xie Jinnian watched Xiahou Qing leave.

A small black bird landed on his shoulder.

It was the Wuhu disguised as a crow.

Xie Jinnian gestured to the Wuhu with his eyes.

Wuhu did not move.

Xie Jinnian took out a bird food.

Wu Hu said, “Four! Four!”

Xie Jinnian muttered, “No.”

Wuhu turned around. “Wuhu won’t go!”

At this moment, the golden eagle circled down with a small box in its mouth and placed it in Xie Jinnian’s hand.

Inside was heavy bird food that had been bought at a high price.

Wuhu blinked and rubbed its little head against his cheek. “Ruyi loves you!”

–

The oil lamp was dim.

Xiahou Yi sat quietly in the wheelchair.

The puppets in the courtyard had already been killed by the two elders.

He had originally used those puppets to protect his second uncle, but he did not expect to meet seven today when he had given four.

His second uncle had privately raised puppets.

He stood behind the wheelchair and looked at it for a long time with a complicated expression. Finally, he said, “Second Uncle, why?”

Of course, Second Uncle could not answer him.

Second Uncle had been ill for many years and could no longer speak.

Unexpectedly, a low voice suddenly came from the wheelchair. “What do you mean why?”

Xiahou Qing was shocked. He looked forward and did not see anyone. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He scanned his surroundings. Other than Steward Chang, there was no one else.

He took a few steps forward in a daze. “Second Uncle?”

The wheelchair slowly turned around and Xiahou Yi looked at him coldly.

There was nothing strange about the wheelchair turning. This was a mechanism design of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. One only needed to pull a thin rope on the armrest to turn the wheelchair around.

What really shocked Xiahou Qing was that voice.

“Second Uncle… were you the one who spoke just now?”

“Aren’t you going to ask me why?”

Xiahou Yi spoke very slowly, and his voice was older than a few years ago, but he definitely did not look like a mute.

“I’ll tell you.”

He did not quibble or deny it. He was so straightforward that Xiahou Qing was caught off guard.

Xiahou Yi didn’t seem to see Xiahou Qing’s shock. He said calmly, “I want to live and take back what belongs to me.”
