Chapter 1345: Hugging the Golden Leg
Editor: Atlas Studios
After Xiahou Zheng was escorted to the dungeon, Xiahou Qing could not calm down for a long time.
Elder Li and Elder Liu had been forced to drink by Wei Xu during the day and had rested after returning. At this moment, other than Elder Hai, who had restrained Xiahou Zheng, only Elder Zhao was left beside him.
The two of them looked at the helpless expression on his face and walked in.
“City Lord.”
Elder Zhao said, “Protect your body.”
Elder Hai said quickly, “I really didn’t expect such a thing to happen. City Lord has nurtured him carefully for so many years in vain. In the end, he actually raised an ingrate!”
“Stop talking,” Elder Zhao said in a low voice.
Elder Hai said indifferently, “Can’t I mention it?”
Xiahou Qing closed his eyes and said tiredly, “Elders, go back first. Don’t tell anyone about the treasure map.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
The two of them sighed and left.
Xiahou Qing sat alone in the silent hall. The candlelight was dim. Half of his figure was enveloped in the dark night, and the other side was reflected in the flickering candlelight.
Her entire body seemed to have been cut in half. The breeze swayed, bright and dark.
Steward Chang carried a bowl of ginseng soup in and placed it on the table beside Xiahou Qing. He comforted him softly, “The City Lord has been busy until now and hasn’t eaten dinner. Have some ginseng soup to warm your body first.”
Xiahou Qing had no appetite.
Steward Chang walked over and turned the wick brighter.
Xiahou Qing said with a complicated expression, “He’s the first child I brought back to the City Lord Manor. He’s been with me the longest. Why is he the one who betrayed me?”
Manager Chang said earnestly, “There’s no knowing what’s going on in people’s hearts. Some people are insatiable and are born like this. City Lord, just treat it as an error in judgment. Don’t be sad.”
Among the four godsons, the one who sided with Xiahou Qing the most was his fourth son, Xiahou Yan. Unfortunately, he was dead, and the murderer was still unknown.
Xiahou Yu and Xiahou Zheng were biological brothers, so Xiahou Yu would probably not be very loyal to him.
Now, only Second was left among the four of them.
Xiahou Qing sighed. “I hope Jin’er won’t disappoint me.”
“Aren’t there still the Young Palace Lord and the young master?”
Steward Chang’s meaning was obvious. Even if all his adopted sons had betrayed him, at least he still had his biological children to inherit the legacy of the City Lord Manor.
Xie Jinnian had just arrived at the courtyard when he heard the last two sentences of their conversation.
The accompanying servant also heard it.
He looked at his young master worriedly.
“Go back.”
Xie Jinnian turned around and left.
The servant opened his mouth but hesitated. He silently followed.
Young Master was here to see the City Lord, but he did not expect to hear such cold words.
“Young Master.”
The servant said weakly, “Are you very sad?”
Actually, how could he not feel the same as Xiahou Zheng?
The City Lord treated his biological children, especially Young Palace Lord Yun, much better than his adopted sons.
It was a kind of love from the bottom of City Lord’s heart. He could be willful, play around, and even disobey the City Lord.
Even if the City Lord was furious, he could not bear to do anything to his biological son.
If it had been Young Palace Lord Yun tonight, would the City Lord still have the heart to sever his father-son relationship with him and lock him up?
His biological son was his son, and his adopted sons… were all pawns.
The servant suddenly felt sad.
Xie Jinnian said calmly, “I’m not sad.”

In a quiet courtyard in the City Lord Manor.
Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair and looked at the sky.
