Li Xiu'e patted her daughter's delicate hand and smiled meaningfully: “No matter who it is, they must be able to withstand the test. If they can't pass the eighty-one trials, they don't even think about marrying our precious daughter.”
“Mmm.”
Ye Xue'e agreed, showing her mother-in-law's authority: “If their intentions are not sincere, don't even think about entering the Lin Clan.”
“Uh.”
Lin Qingluo felt cold sweat dripping down the back of her head.
Did she just shoot herself in the foot?
She was talking about Ai Hao, so why did the conversation turn to her?
“Achoo!”
At the same time, Mu Fan, who was meditating, sneezed inexplicably and felt a chill on his back.

Xu Wei handled his affairs with great efficiency, harboring his own little plans.
Two days later, Su Zixuan reached an agreement with the retired official Li, paid the house price in one installment, and got the deed of the new house.
Li was eager to return to his hometown and left the Capital City with his family that day.
The Su Clan was overjoyed, cleaned and tidied up the place, and moved into their new home.
As Xu Wei had said, the new house was not only closer to the Imperial Palace, but its area was also twice that of the previous two courtyards.
There were flowers and trees in the garden, as well as a small lotus pond.
The Su Clan was very satisfied with the new house, and Su Zixuan gratefully held a sumptuous banquet in the house to entertain Xu Wei and his colleagues from the Ministry of Public Works.
Xu Wei happily accepted the invitation and brought two jars of Hundred-Flower Brew, which he had obtained from the Regent's residence, claiming that it was personally brewed by Her Majesty the Divine Lady.
His colleagues from the Ministry of Public Works were also very cooperative.
Some brought a pig's head, some bought an iron pot, and others brought bean sprouts and tofu, claiming that it was to keep the esteemed Sir Su's pot warm and express their wish for a prosperous future after moving into the new home.
Su Hu was grinning from ear to ear, entertaining the guests with his son.
Xu Wei took the opportunity to get close to him, sweet-talking Su Hu with a honey-laden tongue. Su Hu was overjoyed and found Xu Wei more and more pleasing to the eye.
The banquet ended with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves to the fullest.
When Xu Wei was about to leave, Su Hu took out a jar of Hundred-Flower Brew that had been stored for over twenty years, said to be personally brewed by Her Majesty the Divine Lady when she was a child in the countryside, and presented it to him.
The other colleagues from the Ministry of Public Works looked on with envy.
After sending off his colleagues, Su Zixuan had a bowl of sobering soup, and as he stood by the lotus pond, a feeling of unease crept over him.
Why did he get a strange feeling?
In his eyes, the senior official seemed as cunning as a fox.
What treasure did their family have that was worth coveting?

At the Duke of Zhen's residence, in Quiet Elegance Residence.
Lin Qingluo was about to embark on a long journey and had come to Quiet Elegance Residence to bid farewell to her mother before leaving.
Lin Jinyu and Feng Liu's legitimate second son, Lin Ruilin, happened to be there as well. When he saw his aunt, his eyes shone with excitement, and the large, black and bright eyes were full of sparkling stars of adoration.
“Qingluo, I don't know when you'll be able to come back once you leave. Mother can't bear to part with you.”
Ye Xue'e's maternal heart ached as she learned that her daughter was going on another long journey, and tears fell uncontrollably.
“Mother.”
Lin Qingluo couldn't bear it and stepped forward, gently hugging her mother while comforting her softly: “I won't be in Sudden Wind Ocean for too long this time, and I will definitely be back before the end of the year.”
“Now it's March, and you won't be back until the end of the year?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xue'e wasn't comforted but instead cried more sorrowfully.
“Grandmother.”
Lin Ruilin admired his aunt and helped to console his grandmother: “Sudden Wind Ocean is far away, and Aunt's journey there and back will take a long time. Being able to return before the end of the year is already very good.”
