There were a total of five packets of medicine. After administering one packet to Wei Xu, she gave one to Wei Ting. There were three more packets in the pharmacy.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that she should give a packet to Wei Xu first but she

couldn’t enter.

Su Xiaoxiao resigned herself to fate and took out her small peachwood mirror. In the mirror, she expressionlessly smoothed down her hair.

The two of them rested at the foot of the mountain and ate something to fill their stomachs.

Half an hour later, the two of them went up the mountain overnight.

Because Wei Ting, Wei Liulang, and the Saintess had not reached, they did not have to rush. They walked slowly and Su Xiaoxiao finally did not experience the morning sickness again.

The entrance to the mine was closed early, and two patrolling guards stood on the sentry post.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu had already changed into their night clothes and did not show themselves in the night.

Wei Xu wanted to kick the door.

He raised his foot valiantly.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows twitched. She hurriedly hugged his arm and whispered,

“Dad, you can’t kick it!”

Wei Xu frowned bitterly and chose the latter between kicking the door down and listening to his daughter-in-law.

Su Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them waited until the guards changed shifts before sneaking in.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the route in her memory and brought Wei Xu to the abandoned mine.

Along the way, they encountered many patrolling guards.

The last time she came, there were not so many guards.

However, the last time was during the day. There were many mining slaves who wanted to escape at night in a place like the mine. It was reasonable to arrange more guards.

Halfway through, a hushed conversation came from behind a big tree.

“Dad, just tell me.”

It was Emissary Lu’s voice.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped and pointed at the treetop.

Wei Xu understood and flew up to the treetop with her.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed aside the leaves in front of her and saw the two of them talking not far away.

One was Emissary Lu, and the other was Emissary Lu’s biological father, Steward Lu.

Steward Lu was sent flying by Wei Xu’s headbutt and was still limping.

He held his walking stick and sighed. “What do you want me to tell you? I already said that I don’t know!”

Minister Lu said, “Dad, you’ve been in the mine for so many years. How can you not know?”

Steward Lu said, “The abandoned mine has long been sealed. I’ve never been there!”

Emissary Lu said angrily, “With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. This is really true. When Mother was still alive, Father doted on me the most. Now that Father has married the daughter of the Xue family and fathered two younger brothers, I’ve become an outsider. Forget it, I’ll stay in the Holy Maiden Temple for the rest of my life and not marry. I won’t have to worry about Father.”

“You…” Steward Lu choked on his eldest daughter’s words.

Emissary Lu said in a muffled voice, “Since Dad treats me as an outsider, I’ll never come back. Dad, take care. I’m leaving.”

With that, she was about to leave.

Steward Lu stomped his walking stick. “Stop right there!”

Emissary Lu stopped, but did not turn around. She still had her back facing her father in a fit of pique.

Steward Lu walked over with his walking stick and said helplessly and angrily, “Why are you asking about this? It’s not good for you! Even I don’t dare to ask about the abandoned mine. I accidentally opened my mouth and was warned by your grandfather. If you want to live, don’t ask.”

Emissary Lu turned to look at him.

Steward Lu frowned and said, “There’s a person locked up in the abandoned mine. A very important person. The three big shots are all participants.” Emissary Lu asked, “Who are they working for? Master Xie?”

“Pfft, you think too highly of Xie Yunhe,” Steward Lu said. “It’s His Majesty.” Emissary Lu’s eyes were filled with shock.
