Chapter 575: Chapter 574: The Noble Lord’s Invitation and Beiming’s Final Ultimatum_1
Lin Qingluo also attended in full dress, according to her mother’s aesthetic standards, wearing a set of exquisite silk, adored with a full head of jade hairpins, dressing up like a royal princess with an imposing richness.
When the noble ladies who came at the invitation saw the eldest miss of Duke of Zhen’s mansion, dressed with the air of a top-tier noble lady, they all lit up.
Those who intended to develop a good relationship with Duke of Zhen’s mansion praised her even more enthusiastically, as if they couldn’t help but turn the eldest miss into a flower through their flattery.
Lin Qingluo, with her head heavy with jade hairpins, maintaining a perfect standard smile, listened to the nobles incessantly singing her praises.
Her eyelids were sour, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
After insisting for less than an hour, she slipped away unseen, and didn’t show up again until the banquet was over.

As night fell, the Duke of Zhen’s mansion closed its doors to guests, and the family gathered around the table, eating mooncakes, drinking wine, and admiring the moon.
Su Hu and his wife also came with their children.
Su Ziqin, Su Zixuan, Maodou, Heidou, Sister Wan, Niuniu, none were missing.
The four little darlings and six little ones from the Lin Clan are close in age, they soon got familiar with each other, laughing and playing together.
Shitou loves his little sister and wanted to introduce her to a real snow leopard, so he took a group of children to the Martial Arts Arena to visit the Leopard House and Leibao.
Leibao has been raised as a pet since he was a baby, he has no wildness of a king of the jungle, but rather a bit clumsy and cute.
Seeing a bunch of laughing and playing children, he was not only not annoyed, but also, under the command of Little Eight, Lin Jinhao, he shook his fat body and did a few somersaults.
The clumsy and ridiculous actions immediately drew cheers from the children.
The three big dogs also joined in, barking crazily with a teasing look in their eyes.

Soon Lin Qingluo was about to set off. The two mothers were worried about their daughter, each holding one of her hands, giving her numerous instructions.
They feared that their daughter might be exhausted on the road and faced dangers, it frightened and scared them.
A mother’s worry is like a thousand miles when her child travels far.
Lin Qingluo understood their hearts, cooed and pampered the two mothers to reassure them.
Finally, she finally managed to calm the two mothers, and Ye Xue’e’s eyes were no longer red. It was late.
After saying goodbye to her foster parents’ family, she returned to Fluttering Snow Residence, the Little Prince had not yet returned from the palace.
Baoya was waiting in the room, bringing news from the Noble Lord.
He requested her to visit the Serene Snow Pavilion for a farewell meeting before leaving.
Without any hesitation, Lin Qingluo changed out of her gorgeous clothes, took off her jade hairpins, and disappeared from the room in an instant.

Serene Snow Pavilion.
The noble lord, dressed in scarlet, stood casually in front of the flower garden, bathed in the watery moonlight.
Starry light sprinkled on him, his silver streaks and red tear mole were especially prominent, becoming more charming.
With the elegance of the wind, Lin Qingluo’s figure mysteriously appeared behind him.
As if sensing her faint breath, he slightly laughed, then slowly turned around.
Without any pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
“The King of Beiming, Xia Yan, gave me an ultimatum, stating that if I don’t send the Little Prince to the capital of Beiming voluntarily, he would lead an army to invade us, putting pressure on His Majesty to agree to his terms.”
“Madman!”
Lee Qingluo was furious, surrounded by a murderous aura, the wind formed by it whirling towards the flower garden, causing all the surrounding flowers to break.
Never since her transmigration and rebirth, had she revealed her killing intent like this moment, wanting to cut a person down with a sword.
“His Majesty already knows about this and Xia Yan’s tricks won’t succeed for the time being.”
The noble lord looked a little surprised, seemingly startled by her sudden murderous aura, stepping back subconsciously.
