Chapter 462: Chapter 460: Up to mischief again! _1
 

“My little sister is right, it’s my stupidity that I didn’t think about it for my brothers.”

Lin Jinyu’s spirit was shaken, feeling extremely ashamed.

“Not only our brothers, but also our uncles and aunts, they all need at least two shadow guards to protect their safety.”

Lin Qingluo felt gloomy in her heart. If it were not for the Empress’s pressure, it wouldn’t have come to this.

Lin Jinyu nodded solemnly, “Alright, big brother understands, and will do as you say.”

“Big brother, here is a batch of jewels that I got from a pirate den during my travels. They are ill-gotten gains; you can take them, exchange them for silver, and use them for development and construction.”

Lin Qingluo’s smile was brilliant, her delicate hand waving lightly, and ten big iron boxes filled with gold, silver, and jewels appeared out of thin air in the study, neatly stacked in two piles.

“These are just a part of it. You can use them first, and tell others that it’s mother’s dowry.”

“Qingluo, where did you get these from?”

Lin Jinyu’s mind was greatly shocked, and the corner of his eyes unconsciously twitched, the elegant noble young master image crumbling for a moment.

“I have a treasure that can store things.”

Lin Qingluo playfully made a face.

“Qingluo, tell me honestly, are you really an immortal goddess who has descended from heaven?”

Lin Jinyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and leaned towards his sister’s face.

“Well.”

Lin Qingluo smirked and deliberately twisted his words, “We are siblings, my dear brother, born of the same mother, and you’re actually asking me if I fell from the sky?”

“You’re being naughty again! Is that what big brother meant?”

Lin Jinyu laughed and chided.

“Hehe, big brother, I am not a goddess, really not!”

Lin Qingluo laughed with her teeth showing but her eyes barely visible, “I am just a little bit smarter than ordinary people and know some magic spells.”

“Like those Immortal Sect masters?”

Lin Jinyu’s eyes brightened with interest.

“Yes, more or less.”

Lin Qingluo nodded with a smile, “But now I am still young and only know some little magic spells, far from those Immortal Sect masters.”

“Amazing, little sister! What else can you do? Can you breathe fire? Tell fortunes or predict the future?”

At this moment, Lin Jinyu cast off the shackles of the eldest grandson and revealed his straightforward and cheerful side in front of his little sister.

“Uh?”

Lin Qingluo wiped the cold sweat from the back of her head.

She honestly thought it was better for her big brother to maintain his elegant gentleman demeanor and be more reserved.

Feng Clan’s mother and her two children came to the Capital City and temporarily stayed at the Duke of Zhen’s residence.

Under Lin Qingluo’s careful care, Lady Feng’s health gradually improved, and her complexion looked much better.

Lin Qingluo had plans to perform surgery on Lady Feng after the New Year to remove the hard lump in her lungs.

Feng Yi came with them, and Wang Meng and Shitou were very happy.

The three teenagers were close in age, became familiar with each other, and gradually understood each other.

They all loved martial arts and practiced together in the Martial Arts Arena on normal days, interacting with the Lin Clan’s children and deepening their bond.

Feng Liu loved cooking, and couldn’t keep herself idle at Duke of Zhen’s residence, often going to the kitchen to help out.

To thank Lin Qingluo for treating Lady Feng, Feng Liu specifically taught the house’s cook some of her hometown dishes.

These dishes tasted excellent and were highly praised by everyone in the mansion.

The Duchess of Zhen learned that Feng Clan’s daughter was beautiful and had excellent cooking skills, and quietly formed an idea.

Under various pretenses, she invited Lady Feng and her daughter to Drunken Frost Residence for tea.

It was said to be having tea, but in reality, it was to introduce Feng Liu to the young men of the mansion.
