Chapter 971 -970: Night Exploration of Xu Mansion, Antidote_1
Xu Residence.
Lin Qingluo, like a wisp of ethereal smoke, infiltrated the residence without anyone’s knowledge.
Guided by Little Kingfisher, she easily found the chamber where Xu Ruyun lived.
Xu Ruyun was standing by the window, looking melancholic and wiping a long sword that shone with a chilling gleam.
“Aunt Xu.”
Lin Qingluo drifted into the chamber like a wisp of smoke, revealing her presence.
“Little Qingluo?”
Xu Ruyun was shocked for a moment but quickly recovered, closing the window and looking delighted.
“Aunt Xu…”
Lin Qingluo got straight to the point, explaining her intentions.
“The Prime Minister’s wild ambitions are akin to treason.”
Only now did Xu Ruyun learn about the shocking changes in the palace, filled with anger and disbelief: “How hateful! As a commander, I was negligent and fell into his trap, stuck at home and unable to share His Majesty’s burden.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “Commander Xu, do you know what poison you’ve been afflicted with?”
“Metamorphic Poison Powder.”
Xu Ruyun’s eyes dimmed, showing a hint of desolation: “This poison is extremely domineering, and there’s no antidote. I’ll be at someone’s mercy for the rest of my life.”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Xu.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes twinkled with plans: “I’ll do my best to find the antidote as soon as possible.”
“Little Qingluo.”
Xu Ruyun took a breath and asked subconsciously: “Are you planning to infiltrate the Prime Minister’s Mansion to steal the antidote?”
“Yes.”
Lin Qingluo did not hide anything and openly admitted it.
Xu Ruyun looked worriedly, “At this critical moment, the Prime Minister’s Mansion will be extremely secure. It’s too risky to enter.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Lin Qingluo, confident in her plan, abruptly changed the subject, her expression becoming grave: “I just need Aunt Xu to tell me if the other two commanders can be trusted?”
Xu Ruyun nodded, “I have worked with them for years, and they are upright and trustworthy.”
“Good, I understand.”
Lin Qingluo pushed open the window and floated out like a wisp of smoke, disappearing from sight.
Little Qingluo, please be careful!
Xu Ruyun stood by the window, deep in thought, motionless for a long time.

News of the relocation spread throughout Duke of Zhen’s residence, and after a brief shock, everyone started to pack their belongings and dismiss the servants who didn’t want to go with them.
Su Hu returned to Su House with his family and secretly planned to discuss with his children whether they should go back to Woniu Village together.
Su Ziqin was in low spirits, his face clouded with worry, which made his parents exceedingly heartbroken.
After this incident, Li Xiu’e became more open-minded and stopped worrying about her daughter’s marriage. She only wished for the safety and happiness of her family.

Sunset, lanterns lit.
Upon returning from Xu Residence, Lin Qingluo had a chat with her mother in Quiet Elegance Residence. As the sky had darkened, she finally took her leave. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Lin Yixuan was waiting for her by the stone table at Fluttering Snow Residence. Seeing his sister return, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked a few steps to meet her.
“A ten-year-old boy looks better with black hair.”
Lin Qingluo gently stroked his hair with a tender expression.
“Sister.”
Lin Yixuan was about to speak, when Little Twelve and Little Thirteen, like two playful foals, burst into the courtyard, waving their little arms and rushing towards their sister.
“Jinfeng, Jinming.”
Lin Qingluo released Yixuan’s hair, opened her arms, and lifted each of her younger brothers in turn, spinning them around.
The two little boys reveled in their sister’s affection and giggled happily.
Their soft, soothing, babyish voices filled the air, making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.
Lin Qingluo put down her little brothers, took a deep breath, and smiled sweetly.
“Sister, are we going to live in the countryside?”
“I want to go hunting.”
“I want to learn to swim.”
