Chapter 460: Chapter 458: Embrace My Sister, Get Some Good Fortune _1
 

Since Second Brother said she was a Fortune Child, she should send him off with a smile to share her luck.

“Hmm, Second Brother will be careful. Little Qingluo, you should do the same.”

Lin Jinxu let go of his little sister, placing both hands on her shoulders, his tone gentler than ever before.

“You are the only girl in the Lin Clan, the treasure of your brothers, the apple of our eyes. Your happiness makes us happy, and your safety gives us peace of mind.”

“It will be the same for Second Brother at the border. Just send him a family letter and he’ll be delighted to receive it.”

“Yes, I will definitely write to Second Brother every month, no matter where I travel, I will write.”

Lin Qingluo held back her tears, forcing a little smile onto her face.

“Good, with Qingluo’s promise, Second Brother has no regrets.”

Lin Jinxu was overjoyed and let go of his sister’s shoulders. He resolutely stood up, mounted his horse, and rode off.

“Second Brother, be careful!”

“We’ll wait for you to come back!”

“You must come back for the New Year!”

The young men of the Lin Clan all had red eyes, Little Twelve and Little Thirteen chased after the horse.

After running for a short distance, they were caught by Lin Jinzhou and Lin Jinyun, who grabbed their collars and picked them up.

Lin Qingluo took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to quietly wipe away the tears at the edge of her eyelids.

“Little Qingluo, Third Brother will also go to the military next year for training. Let me hug you and get some luck in advance.”

Lin Jinzhou caught his little sister’s subtle movement from the corner of his eye.

He put down Little Twelve and happily hugged his sister.

“Third Brother, seriously, can you really get luck in advance?”

Lin Qingluo was amused by his teasing, and the sour feeling in her heart instantly dissipated.

“Let’s go home.”

Lin Jinzhou stood up, laughing, holding Little Twelve’s hand in one hand and his sister’s hand in the other, and walked towards the gate.

“Yes.”

Lin Qingluo nodded with a smile, feeling the warmth of her brother’s palm and a surge of warmth in her heart.

As the eldest grandson of the Lin Clan, Lin Jinyu represented the fourth generation and stayed in the Duke of Zhen’s residence, having resigned from his position in the Imperial Guard to mourn for his Third Uncle.

Lin Qingluo did the same, as the only two direct descendants of the fourth generation, their every word and action represented the dignity of the Duke of Zhen’s residence.

Therefore, she also temporarily gave up her dream of traveling and stayed at home to accompany her family, guarding the ancestral hall and mourning the martyrs.

Having experienced the loss of loved ones, Little Prince’s mood had lightened considerably. He returned to the Imperial Palace to be with his parents and occasionally visited the Duke of Zhen’s residence to see his sister.

After mourning for the martyrs in the ancestral hall, Lin Qingluo’s state of mind changed once again.

Before this, she had been determined to leave the Capital City, avoid the Empress, and stay far from the center of the power struggle.

Now, she had an epiphany.

Running away was not the solution.

What she needed to do was to face the problem actively and prepare for possible challenges.

Autumn Scene Garden.

The door and windows of Lin Xiaoyang’s study were closed, father and daughter sat opposite each other, having a heart-to-heart talk.

Lin Qingluo smiled charmingly and, taking the opportunity to discuss the Lin Clan’s army, revealed her plan.

“Father, are there any people in the old department of the Lin Family Army who would be willing to retire and cultivate land in Peach Blossom Land?”

“Qingluo, what do you mean by this?”

Lin Xiaoyang’s hand, holding a teacup, paused. He was visibly puzzled and didn’t understand his daughter’s intention.

Lin Qingluo explained without hesitation: “Qingluo knows of a place where it’s like spring all year round. The area inside the canyon is vast and fertile, suitable for planting grains and vegetables. We need a large number of people to cultivate the land there.”
