Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi seemed to remember something and asked, "Grandpa, have you seen Uncle or Uncle recently?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyun frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his expression. "Sigh, I've been busy dealing with family affairs these past few days and completely forgot about him. Isn't he... in the manor?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head gently and said slowly, "Grandpa, I have a bold guess about the poison you were poisoned with before. It may be related to my uncles."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lu Lingyuntian's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. He stared at Lu Lingxiyao, trying to find the answer in her eyes.

"That day, you were unconscious and the family was in turmoil. Suddenly, your uncles and aunts led the Lin family to attack. They were very aggressive and clearly wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize control of the family."

"Fortunately, I stumbled upon them and managed to drive them away. But since then, my uncle has vanished without a trace."

She paused for a moment, as if to organize her thoughts or to give Lu Lingyun time to process them.

Then she continued, "Grandpa, as you know, the poison in your body has been dormant for ten years. You have always been cautious, and if an outsider had poisoned you, there would have been no way to hide it from you. But the fact that this poison has been lurking in your body for so long means there is only one possibility—that the person who poisoned you is someone very close to us."

As Lu Lingyuntian spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, followed by deep anger.

He stood up abruptly, his voice deep and powerful: "Zhixia, quickly go and invite Qingyue and Huai'an here. This matter concerns the safety of the family and cannot be delayed!"

With a series of hurried footsteps, Lu Lingqingyue and Lu Linghuaian entered the house one after the other. The two did not exchange many words, but when their eyes fell on Lu Lingxiyao's calm and composed figure, a complex emotion flashed involuntarily—disdain, fear, or perhaps wariness.

"Grand Uncle, why the sudden summons? What urgent matter do you wish to discuss?" Lu Linghuaian spoke first, followed closely by Lu Lingqingyue, whose gaze was lowered as if she were deliberately avoiding eye contact with Lu Lingxiyao.

Lu Lingyun's voice boomed like a bell, his expression extremely serious, radiating an undeniable aura of authority. "Where is your father? Why has he not yet appeared?"

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Lu Lingqingyue replied, "Uncle, Father has not returned home for many days, and we are also worried about him, but we do not know...where he is."

Lu Lingxi's gaze swept across their faces, as if trying to see through their thoughts, before she asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual about him lately?"

Seeing that Lu Linghuai'an remained silent for a long time, Lu Lingyuntian frowned and reprimanded him. His voice echoed in Yunyao Garden, giving people an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"This matter is of great importance. You two must tell the truth without concealing anything!"

Under Lu Lingyuntian's oppressive aura, Lu Linghuaian's body trembled slightly, as if his innermost secrets had been touched. He finally couldn't resist and said in a trembling voice.

“Grand Uncle, to be honest, I once witnessed my father secretly meeting with the Lin family head. They... they seemed to be plotting some kind of nefarious conspiracy. The Lin family head gave my father something that looked like a medicine bottle, and his words revealed... something detrimental to you. But please understand, Grand Uncle, I did not participate in this matter, nor did I have any intention of aiding and abetting evil.”

After saying that, his knees buckled and he knelt down on the ground, pleading, "Please, Uncle, spare us!"

Seeing this, Lu Lingqingyue knelt down right after her brother, her eyes reddening and her voice choked with sobs: "Please, Uncle, have mercy on us because we were young and ignorant and did not collude with you!"

Lu Lingxi Yao's lips curled into a cold smile, and she snorted, "Grandpa, Lu Ling Chenyang is so ruthless. Who knows if his children, who are his blood relatives, won't become a future threat? Keeping them in the Lu Ling family is no different from raising a tiger to cause trouble. It would be better to cut them off and let them find their own way. Perhaps this can avoid a future storm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyun frowned, and with a heavy heart, he slowly spoke, his voice tinged with helplessness: "Yaoyao, people are inherently kind, and children are innocent. How can we impose their father's mistakes on them? We should be compassionate and give them a chance to repent and start anew."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi could only sigh helplessly, "Since Grandpa is kind-hearted and willing to spare their lives, I have nothing more to say."

Then, her gaze suddenly turned cold, like icicles suddenly freezing in winter, and she turned to Lu Lingqingyue and Lu Linghuaian without any warmth. Her words were low and powerful, with an unquestionable authority.

"But I hope you remember this: if in the future you dare to harbor ulterior motives, disrespect your grandfather, plot against the Lu Ling family, or do anything that harms the family, then don't blame me, Lu Ling Xiyao, for disregarding blood ties!"

After saying that, Lu Lingxi turned around gently and said softly to Zhixia, who was standing beside her, "Zhixia, help me back to my room. I'm tired and need some peace and quiet."

"Alright, Miss!"
