Chapter 1420: Father Wei in Deep Waters

Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Xu did not want Jiang Guanchao to stay in the residence at all, but he could not stop his unfilial son, Wei Ting.

Wei Ting immediately informed his grandmother.

Old Matriarch Wei had already learned everything about Thousand Mountains Island from her children and grandchildren.

She was someone who could see the big picture.

Even though there was a grudge between the Assassin Alliance and her son, in the last battle on Thousand Mountain Island, the Assassin Alliance helped the Hundred Flowers Palace and protected Ling Yun and her four great-grandchildren.

There were also a few grandchildren.

If not for the Assassin Alliance, her grandsons would have paid an extremely painful price.

When would the cycles of vengeance end? Moreover, if it was really based on human lives, the Wei family still owed the Assassin Alliance.

Old Matriarch Wei immediately invited Jiang Guanchao and Yun Shuang into the residence.

There was no need to mention Old Matriarch Wei’s gratitude and liking for Yun Shuang.

Ever since the three little fellows returned, they had been talking about the Grandma Palace Lord every day. Old Matriarch Wei thought that she was old, but it was obvious that she was not much older than her eldest grandson’s wife.

Actually, she was eight or nine years older, but Yun Shuang looked too young.

Old Matriarch Wei said with joy in her eyes, “Palace Lord Yun, thank you for taking care of the children. In the capital, the Wei residence is your house. Since you’ve returned home today, stay well.”

Yun Shuang said politely, “Old Matriarch Wei can call me Yun Shuang.”

Old Matriarch Wei said kindly, “Then I’ll call you Shuang’er.”

Yun Shuang said, “Okay.”

Ever since her parents passed away, no one had called her that.

Old Matriarch Wei looked at Jiang Guanchao kindly again.

Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “There’s no need for Chao’er. Matriarch, you should call me Alliance Master Jiang or Jiang Guanchao.”

Old Matriarch Wei muttered, “I didn’t want to call you Chao’er…”

Old Matriarch Wei exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Guanchao and began to introduce their families.

In the Wei family, there was no rule that women did not see outsiders. The status of the women in the Wei family was very high.

“Feifeng, you’ve met. This is my daughter-in-law. This is my second and third granddaughter-in-law…”

Old Matriarch Wei introduced the women of the Wei family one by one.

Madam Wei couldn’t avoid any ill feelings towards the person who had hurt her husband. After greeting the two of them politely with her daughter-in-law, she focused on talking to Yun Shuang.

“I’ve heard about the Hundred Flowers Palace. It’s Little Seven’s honor to be Palace Lord’s son.”

Yun Shuang asked, “You don’t mind?”

Madam Wei smiled. “Of course I don’t mind. I owe Little Seven too much. I’ll only be happy for him if I can have a mother who dotes on him.”

It was the truth and helplessness.

She would never be able to make up for her debt to Little Seven.

If Little Seven could find some motherly warmth from Palace Lord Yun, she would only be gratified and not jealous.

Yun Shuang nodded.

Madam Wei was really too righteous. She was a broad-minded woman.

“The situation on the island forced us. General Wei and I will never…”

“Madam!”

Halfway through Yun Shuang’s sentence, Wei Xu hurriedly said loudly.

The two of them looked at him.

Wei Xu was calling out to Madam Wei, but when he saw Yun Shuang looking at him, he coughed lightly and gave her a look.

Yun Shuang didn’t understand.

She thought for a moment and said seriously to Wei Xu, “We’re not on the island anymore. Don’t call me that.”

Wei Xu was speechless!

Madam Wei looked confused.

Wei Xu said seriously, “Ah… I’m too loud. I’m used to shouting on the island. I really shouldn’t shout like this at home. Then, Little Seven, Palace Lord Yun must be exhausted from the long journey. Hurry up and bring Palace Lord Yun to the courtyard to rest.”

Jiang Guanchao looked at Wei Xu suspiciously and glanced at Yun Shuang and Madam Wei. “Don’t tell me you…”

Wei Xu clenched his fists and roared, “Baili Chen! Your master is here!”

Wei Ting exclaimed and asked Yun Shuang, “By the way, Mother, how’s my brother?”

Yun Shuang said, “Isn’t your brother outside?”

Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “Oh, I’m asking about my father’s other eldest son.”

Wei Xu’s body trembled!

Kid, you’re courting death!!!

Wasn’t it just a fall? Was there a need to hold a grudge?!

Wei Xu grinned and looked at Madam Wei with a smile that was more fake than crying. “Palace Lord Yun accepted Little Seven as his son, and I also accepted Ling Yun as my godson! Coincidentally, isn’t Ling Yun also Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu’s master? A teacher for a day is a father for life. Their father… can naturally call me Dad.”

At this moment, Xiaohu and Dahu were fighting in the courtyard again. Xiaohu couldn’t win and was beaten up by Dahu until he cried.

The few of them were instantly attracted by the child and went over to ask what had happened.

“I want Dahu’s name! He won’t give it to me! He even hit me… Woo—”

Xiaohu cried miserably.

Dahu did not indulge him. “Because of that, you took off my pants?”

Xiaohu shouted, “The pants moved first!”

Dahu scolded his brother. “You’re really good at talking!”

Since he could not win, Xiaohu activated the off-site rescue mode.

“Grandma…”

He also knew to hug Yun Shuang, who was the best at martial arts. This way, Dahu would never be able to hit him again.

Dahu was angry. “You do this every time!”

“Alright, alright.” Madam Wei gently pulled Dahu over. “Wipe your sweat. You can reason with your brother after he’s done crying.”

Dahu said in disdain, “I don’t have a brother like this!”

Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and pointed at Dahu. “I don’t have a brother like you! I want Erhu to be my brother!”

Dahu said seriously, “Erhu won’t be your brother either! You’re too naughty!”

Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and stomped his feet. “I’m not!”

The two of them quarreled non-stop. Yun Shuang and Madam Wei each pulled one. Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight, the two of them separated and brought them back to their courtyard.

Wei Xu heaved a sigh of relief.

That was close!

Erhu came to Wei Xu and opened his palm, revealing an ordinary stone. “Grandpa, do you want to buy my stone?”

Wei Xu said, “Grandpa won’t buy it.”

“Then I’ll get Grandma Wei to buy.”

Erhu turned around and waved his small arms as if he was jumping on a big rope. “Duanmu Qi, Duanmu Qi, Palace Lord Yun Shuang’s honey trap!”

Wei Xu’s body trembled. “How much!”

–

Jiang Guanchao and Yun Shuang stayed in the Wei family.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting secretly gave Mother Palace Lord a surprise and built the courtyard into the peony pavilion of the Towering Palace.

The same furnishings made Yun Shuang think that she had returned to Thousand Mountains Island the moment she stepped into the courtyard.

“Wow…”

Yun Shuang’s heart swelled.

Su Xiaoxiao held her arm affectionately. “Are you touched just like that? But Mother, you’ve done far more for us.”

Just as Yun Shuang was immersed in the feeling of being touched by Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting, Jiang Guanchao and Baili Chen walked over.

“Palace Lord Yun.”

Baili Chen cupped his hands in greeting.

Yun Shuang nodded at Baili Chen and looked at Jiang Guanchao. “What are you doing here? This is my courtyard.”

Jiang Guanchao didn’t say anything. He walked past her and entered the courtyard next door.

Yun Shuang was speechless.

Wei Xiaobao did not want the throwing machine tonight. She only wanted her mother.

Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao rested in their respective courtyards.

The moon was dark and windy.

A strange figure quietly infiltrated the Wei family.
