Apart from Ling'er, Qinglan had spent the longest time with Xia Junyu, and he knew his temperament very well. Moreover, Qinglan had always been by Xia Junyu's side since he came to power, so he was also familiar with his style of doing things.
During the day, if Ling'er had not appeared, the head of the Hua family would never have been able to leave Long Ling Palace alive.
Thinking of this, Qinglan couldn't help but smile.
Ling'er's son is indeed different. Not only is the gestation period several times longer than others, but he can speak when he is born. And he has a companion device, which is the little white ball.
He had never seen anyone born with a companion device.
Although he didn't know what level of weapon it was, it should be quite extraordinary. Because so far, he had never seen the white ball fail in its mission.
"Since everyone is here, let's go." Xia Junyu's originally playful expression restrained three points in an instant, looking at the Flying Eagle Riders slowly descending from the sky in front of him.
This was the mount that Uncle Yinfeng had specially trained for him. It was an adult silver-feathered eagle king. Its entire body was silver-white, and every feather shone with silver light like a sharp sword. It was extremely beautiful.
Of course, the purpose of these feathers is not just to look good.
The small body jumped lightly and landed steadily on the back of the eagle.
"Uncle Qinglan, come up quickly, some people may be impatient."
Listening to Xia Junyu's meaningful words, Qinglan smiled helplessly and shook his head.
There is really nothing I can do with this child...
Then he flew up and landed on the eagle's back.
Immediately afterwards, a cry rose into the sky, and the silver-white eagle king turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky.
The Hua family tonight seemed unusually peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents were stirring secretly.
"Reporting to the head of the family, all the soldiers, secret sentries, and shadow guards have already guarded the vicinity of the Hua family. The Hua family is now like an iron wall. Let alone a human, even an ant would find it difficult to escape our eyes." The housekeeper leaned over the bed and spoke in a low voice.
Hua Yingnian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.
"That's good." Hua Yingnian, who was pretending to be asleep, did not open his eyes, but just moved his mouth and uttered three words.
"But since that kid has released our master, I think there won't be any more trouble today. But it's always better to be on the safe side. In case something happens, we won't be caught off guard." His voice was calm and he seemed to have it all planned out. But only his tightly clenched hands under the quilt silently told of his nervousness and anger.
Today in the hall, he was impulsive.
Although Xia Junyu is a child, the entire Yunhai royal family is behind him. Not to mention anything else, the four Dharma protectors alone are tough opponents for him.
Although the Hua family has changed dramatically in the past few years under his covert management, he is still a little unsure about challenging the royal family...
Why…
Now that things have come to this, there is no way to turn things around. Now that I have hit the wall, I can only bite the bullet and fight to the end.
However, he knew very well that this battle was related to the life and death of the Hua family, and he must respond with caution.
Once they lose, there may be no Hua family anymore.
"Master, please understand. I have already sent out all the rescue signals through secret channels. At dawn tomorrow, those families that are closer will arrive one after another. Don't worry, Master." Having followed the master for so many years, he could guess some of his emotions.
Although the patriarch looked calm now, he must still have some regrets. After all, this time, he was really in big trouble.
"That's right, regarding the Jun family... I don't know whether I should..."
The Jun family was a hermit family, and logically speaking, they would not take a family like theirs seriously. However, the Hua family not only hooked up with the Jun family, but also made an engagement with Master Jun Qing.
Others might think that the Jun family was attracted by the Third Miss's talent. But he knew very well that although the Third Miss's talent might be considered outstanding in Yunhai City, it was not good enough for a higher-level hidden family.
He had no idea how the master of the family arranged the marriage.
Only after hearing the butler mention the Jun family did Hua Yingnian slowly open his eyes.
"It is indeed inappropriate for you to come forward on behalf of the Jun family."
"Then will the master of the house personally..."
"No need, Rou'er must have already done this." He naturally understood his child. Rou'er's mind was more delicate and insightful than his other children.
She should be able to understand after seeing the expedited letter.
"Yes, the third young lady is very talented and intelligent. She will surely be able to help the master of the family solve their problems. The master's favor to her will not be in vain." The more a country is besieged on all sides, the more reassurances and appetizers like these will be needed.
Sure enough, as soon as the butler finished speaking, Hua Yingnian's expression relaxed slightly.
Yes, fortunately there is Rouer who can help him.
When the butler saw this, he knew that his flattery was correct, and immediately moved down along the fur.
"The Third Miss has been training with the elders, and I don't know how much she has grown. I believe that this time she comes back, she will definitely be able to lend a helping hand to the head of the family. And Young Master Jun Qing loves the Third Miss so much, he will definitely not watch her being bullied. The head of the family should relax, everything will be fine."
The head of the family saw the talent of the third young lady, so he looked at her differently and trained her specially. In such a big family, family affection is very weak. Only by becoming strong can one gain a firm foothold.
Sometimes the housekeeper couldn't help wondering, if one day, the third young lady became like an ordinary person, without any outstanding talents, would the head of the family still care about her so much.
Coming back to his senses, the butler smiled awkwardly and thought that he was overthinking. How could such a day ever come
He would never have thought that this day had already come...
The night passed silently, and in the blink of an eye, the morning light gradually appeared.
The clear chirping of birds echoed among the leafy trees.
A hurried run startled the leisurely bird.
"Thump, thump, thump..." A servant ran towards the main courtyard in a hurry. Because his steps were too fast, he almost bumped into the butler who opened the door when he heard the sound.
Looking at the servant who almost knocked him over, the butler frowned.
"How shameless to panic like this!"
The servant heard the butler's anger and immediately knelt down in panic.
"Butler, please calm down, butler, please calm down. I didn't mean it. I was just too anxious. Please forgive me!" Because of running, his voice was a little trembling at the moment, and one could clearly feel his heavy breathing.
The butler straightened his robes and asked slowly, "What happened that made you lose your composure like this? It had better be something serious. Otherwise, disturbing me is not a big deal, but disturbing the master of the house is a serious crime."
Because the master of the house was injured and had difficulty moving, and because it was a special period, the housekeeper had been waiting outside the master's house last night and took a nap on a chair in the outer hall.
My current state is that not only am I physically sleepy, but I'm also a little grouchy after waking up, and I'm in a very bad mood.
"Butler, something has happened. It's really a big thing."
"What happened?" Seeing the servant's appearance, the housekeeper suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Miss Third, Miss Third is back." Before the servant could finish his words, the butler kicked the kneeling servant.
He thought that the royal family had sent troops to besiege the Hua family, and he was so scared that his heart tightened. Who would have thought that this bastard said that it was the third young lady who came back!
It’s fine if the Third Miss comes back and says it’s a big deal, but as for disturbing him so early in the morning when she looks like her whole family has died!
The servant had not expected the housekeeper to suddenly kick him. After being kicked, his body tilted and he fell backwards on the ground. However, he did not care about his own embarrassment and immediately got up and knelt down again and continued, "Housekeeper, calm down. It was the Third Miss who had an accident."
At this moment, the housekeeper's still confused mind immediately became a little clearer.
Something happened to the third young lady
"What's going on? What happened to Miss San?"
"It's like this. Early this morning, my wife went out to buy vegetables. There were a lot of people gathered in the garbage dump in the vegetable market. My wife was curious, so she went forward to take a look. It turned out that they were looking at a silly woman. Her clothes were tattered, her hair was unkempt, and she was picking up food from the garbage."
"No, then what does all this have to do with the Third Miss? It's already this late, can you please just talk about the key points?" After listening for so long, it all felt like nonsense.
That’s right, in the housekeeper’s world, these things have nothing to do with the high and mighty Third Miss.
"It does matter, it does matter, because that silly woman is the Third Miss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant felt a tightness in his chest, and then a big hand grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"What did you say!"
That silly woman in the garbage dump is Miss Three!
How is this possible!
The Third Miss had obviously gone with the elders to train, and who was the Third Miss? She was the most talented and most accomplished of the younger generation of the Hua family. How could she become a fool!
This is impossible!
This can't be true!
This boy must be lying!
Yes, he must have said that on purpose to confuse people.
"Have you been bribed by someone? Are you deliberately talking nonsense here to disturb people? The Third Miss is obviously fine, training with the elders. Are you tired of living? Tell me, who gave you what benefit to make you spread rumors like this!"
The butler was also a martial artist, and his skills were not bad. So he grabbed the boy's clothes with one hand and lifted him up.
This frightened the servant, and he cried and begged, "No... No... What I said is true... I am the son of the family... How dare I betray... Lord Butler... The Third Young Miss is now... In the outer courtyard... If you... If you don't believe it... Just follow me to see... I really didn't lie... Lord Butler... It's true... It's really the Third Young Miss..."
Even though the servant was so scared that he almost peed his pants and it looked like he was lying, the butler still couldn't believe that what he said was the truth.
The hand holding his collar suddenly loosened, and the servant fell to the ground.
"What you said had better be true, otherwise, even if you have a new master, the master of the family will not let you go."
"Yes, yes, yes. I guarantee with my life that everything I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"lead the way!"
He crawled to his feet from the ground, wiped the tears from his face, and immediately led the housekeeper to the outer courtyard.
"Hehehe, this is delicious. I want to eat it. Rou'er wants it." In the exquisite courtyard, a woman who had changed into new clothes was sitting on the ground, holding various flowers in her hands, drooling.
"It looks good. I want to eat it."
"Miss Third, no, you can't sit on the ground. It's dirty."
"You can't eat this." The maid stood beside Hua Qianrou with an anxious look on her face, constantly reminding her what she couldn't do and what she couldn't eat. But facing the young lady like this, she really felt powerless.
"It looks good. Eat it. Rou'er wants to eat it." Hua Qianrou seemed a little angry because she was always stopped by the maid. She pouted her mouth and looked at the maid next to her angrily.
"No, miss, you can't eat this, please let go."
Seeing Hua Qianrou stuffing those wild flowers she picked from somewhere into her mouth, the maid immediately reached out to stop her. This third young lady was the most beloved daughter of the patriarch, and if she got sick from eating them, the patriarch would blame her, she really couldn't afford it.
"Go away, you bad guy, you bully Rou'er, bad guy, beat you, beat you bad guy."
Hua Qianrou got angry and simply stopped eating. She took the wild flowers and threw them at the maid.
