Chapter 1340: Eunuch Jin’s Means
Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Xie Jinnian’s carriage drove into the City Lord Manor, a trusted guard immediately welcomed him and whispered to Ye Xun.
Ye Xun lowered the curtain. “Got it.”
The trusted guard retreated unobtrusively.
Ye Xun looked at Xie Jinnian and said with a solemn expression, “Young Master, Eldest Young Master actually targeted you. With the City Lord’s suspicious personality, I’m afraid…”
Ye Lang clenched his fists in righteous indignation. “Last night, he was the one who released the prisoners and dumped the blame. He didn’t succeed and shifted the blame to us. How shameless!”
The four brothers looked harmonious on the surface, but there were many hidden conflicts.
Xie Jinnian was used to it and was not surprised by Xiahou Zheng’s framing.
“Young Master, what should we do?” Ye Xun asked.
Xie Jinnian said calmly, “Go back to the courtyard first, take a bath, and change clothes.”
Ye Xun and Ye Lang looked at each other. Only their young master could be so calm in the face of a disaster.
Xie Jinnian returned to the courtyard and finished bathing comfortably. He walked out with his long black hair draped over his shoulders.
His face was fair and his facial features were exquisite. He was a rare good-looking man.
However, he always deliberately lowered his presence and often made people ignore his beautiful appearance.
Wuhu’s eyes widened.
This person… was too good-looking!
Xie Jinnian came to the bird cage and tapped his slender fingers on the iron cage.
Wuhu came back to his senses. “Ji!”
What?
Xie Jinnian said casually, “You’ve been a spy for so long. I’m very angry.”
Wuhu said, “Ruyi loves you.”
Xie Jinnian said, “Sweet nothings are useless to me.”
Wuhu whispered, “Grandpa my ass.”
Xie Jinnian was speechless.
Xie Jinnian lifted the bird cage. “It’s not so easy for me to forgive you. I don’t keep useless people around me, and that applies to birds.”
Wuhu muttered,” We’re both scammed. Why are you so anxious to fight to the end?”
–
Xie Jinnian dressed neatly and tied his hair. He brought the two phoenixes to Xiahou Qing’s bedroom.
Xiahou Zheng was still there.
In Thousand Mountains Island, other than Xiahou Qing, the City Lord, only Xiahou Yi and Ling Yun could enter directly.
Xie Jinnian had never felt unbalanced about this.
He obediently waited for the servant to inform him until Xiahou Qing agreed to see him.
Xiahou Qing couldn’t help but frown when he saw him enter with two phoenixes… There was even a festive knot on the cage.
“Greetings, Foster Father.”
Xie Jinnian put down the cage and cupped his hands.
Xiahou Zheng sized up his adoptive father’s expression and smiled faintly. “Second Brother, what are you doing?”
Xie Jinnian said, “The Hundred Flowers Palace gave me a pair of phoenix birds. I’m giving them to Foster Father.”
After a pause, he added, “Yun Lin chose them himself. He said that these two are easier to raise.”
Hearing that his son had chosen it, Xiahou Qing had nothing to say.
But he saw that his second son had serious business. “What did you do last night?” freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Xie Jinnian said truthfully, “I rested in the courtyard for the first half of the night and followed the two elders to the Hundred Flowers Palace in the second half of the night. I didn’t return with the two elders until now.”
Xiahou Zheng asked, “Second Brother, why don’t you think about it again? Are you sure you didn’t do anything else?”
Xie Jinnian looked at him. “Brother, what do you mean?”
Xiahou Zheng said, “The prison is heavily guarded. It’s not so easy for Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai to get the key. Who do you think gave it to them?”
