Chapter 674: Chapter 672: The Reward Has Been Brought Back_1
“Brother Zhan, considering our years of acquaintance, let’s just let this go.”
Lin Qingluo had no mood to listen to his nonsense, her brows slightly darkened, showing a touch of seriousness.
“Could you please deliver a message to your Pavilion Master. Qingluo’s future is in her own hands, there’s no need for anyone to push or persuade, and she certainly doesn’t want anyone to use this to achieve their own ends. I hope your Pavilion Master realizes this and stops causing unnecessary trouble, preventing the harmony between us.”
“Little Qingluo, Brother Zhan swears by his heart that every word just said is sincere.”
Luo Zhan was stunned, rarely showing an awkward expression: “As for the message you asked me to pass on, don’t worry; Brother Zhan promises to report to Pavilion Master without missing a word.”
“That would be great!”
Lin Qingluo did not want to waste any more time, her figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.
**
The Third Imperial Princess, who had visited the Duke of Zhen’s residence under the pretext of presenting rewards, ultimately failed to win over the hearts of the people.
The passionate enthusiasm of the people gradually faded after the Eldest Miss disappeared from the eaves and, under Lin Xiaoyang’s pacification, they left the Duke’s residence one by one.
The front entrance, which had been bustling for half the day, finally quieted down. Lin Xiaoyang heaved a sigh of relief, bowed and greeted the Third Imperial Princess into the residence.
At this moment, the Third Imperial Princess had lost all interest in winning over the hearts of the people, she didn’t even want to enter the mansion. She exchanged a few pleasantries, left the award, and then turned to leave.
When she entered her carriage, her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, the deep gloom in her eyes flickering with the same hidden anticipation as the Empress.
Lin Xiaoyang sensitively noticed the Third Imperial Princess’s abnormality. He respectfully saw her off, ordered people to carry the reward into the mansion, and closed the front door. His brow and eyes darkened for a moment, regained his energy, and went to the Drunken Frost Residence to give his father a detailed account of the matter.
“Master, we’ve brought back the reward, where should we put it?”
The young men intercepted the award halfway and, laughing and joking, snatched it from the attendant’s hands and headed to the Fluttering Snow Residence to congratulate Lin Qingluo.
“Sister, Sister.”
Little Twelve and Little Thirteen were also mixed in. Relying on their young age and lack of restrictions, they entered the yard and ran headlong into the side room, eager to see their sister and express their admiration and respect.
“Clack clack.”
Hunao, with his short legs, loitered at the doorway of the room, curious about a butterfly and playfully chased after it.
While having fun, he heard the cries of the two young ones and was startled. He darted into the flower bush, hiding under the lush peony flowers, revealing only a silly and cute little head, sneakily peeping at the room door.
“Brother Meng, Shitou, Yixuan…all of you are here?”
Just after Lin Qingluo returned to the room and was about to have a cup of tea, she heard Shitou’s exceptionally high-pitched voice.
When she opened the window to look out, Little Twelve and Little Thirteen, like two cheerful little colts, chased each other into the room.
“Sister, Sister.”
The two youngest ran to their sister and struggled to stretch out their little arms, hoping that their sister would hold them and spin around.
“Jinfeng, Jinming, have you two also come?”
Lin Qingluo was smiling, fulfilling her younger brothers’ wishes by picking them up one by one and spinning around twice in the spot, making the little boys laugh out loud. Their soft, milky voices were pleasing to the ears.
“Master, we’ve come to bring you the reward.”
Shitou poked his head into the room and added with a cheerful smile: “It’s two full boxes, so heavy that my shoulders are sore.”
