Chapter 465: Chapter 463: Deep Sibling Love, Spare Me Oh Mighty Piglet_1
 

After a tour of each courtyard, Lin Qingluo’s harvest was rich, her small purse was stuffed so full that it could barely contain anything more.

Seeing this, Lin Jinyang’s eyes heated up, and he shamelessly suggested to his little sister to treat their brothers to a hunting trip at the most popular farm estate outside the city, where they could drink mutton soup and eat special snacks.

Since Lin Qingluo had shares in the farm, somewhat making her half a host, she naturally agreed.

They immediately rode horses out of the city with a group of brothers and spent a thrilling day on the farm.

*********

On the third day of the New Year, Lin Qingluo visited the Su House with her biological parents to pay their respects to the Su Clan.

Su Hu and his wife were very pleased. They busily prepared a table full of delicious dishes to entertain their esteemed guests.

Lin Xiaoyang drank with Su Hu while Li Xiu’e accompanied Ye Xue’e. With some free time, Lin Qingluo chatted and laughed with her brother and sister.

The Su family was not strict with their rules and allowed conversation during meals. The sibling trio chatted happily as they ate.

“Sister, how is the Imperial Academy? Are the female students there easy to get along with? Are there any school bullies?”

Lin Qingluo was very interested in the famous Imperial Academy.

Su Zixuan was also quite curious and looked over.

“It’s okay!”

Upon hearing the word “bully”, Su Ziqin laughed, saying with a gentle smile, “There aren’t any bullies, but there are plenty of arrogant and wealthy young ladies who believe everyone else is beneath them.”

“Has anyone stood up to them? Taught them a lesson?”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes sparkled, a hint of gossip sparked in her.

Scenes of someone clipping another’s arrogant wings were her favorite.

“I believe there is.”

Su Ziqin wasn’t too certain: “I have heard rumors about it, but I haven’t seen it firsthand, so I can’t say for sure.”

“Aw, what a pity. I was hoping to witness a valorous heroine.”

Lin Qingluo deflated slightly, her eagerness to gossip extinguished instantly.

“You, with your burning ambition, will be tempered a lot in the future.”

Su Ziqin laughed warmly and teased her.

“It would be good if I could grow up quickly.”

Lin Qingluo glanced at her petite frame and shrugged, slumping her chin on her palm.

“Once I’ve grown up, I’ll also take the Imperial Academy entrance exam and deflate these wealthy young ladies’ egos.”

“Dear sister, have you forgotten? You are one of those wealthy young ladies.”

Su Ziqin burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, almost choking on her laughter.

“The topmost among the wealthy young ladies.”

Su Zixuan chimed in, looking laid-back: “In the shadow of the imperial power, no one can compete with you.”

“Ah, I got so carried away that I actually forgot.”

Lin Qingluo tilted her head back and laughed heartily.

“You’re so clever, even this you can forget.”

Su Ziqin laughed so much that she was unable to close her mouth.

“Our sister is feigning ignorance, she’s just teasing us!”

Su Zixuan was sure of it and pointed out the truth with a laugh.

“Ah, brother, you are no fun.”

Lin Qingluo puffed up her cheeks in a pretense of complaint: “It’s better to pretend to be confused while knowing it all. Acting the fool to snare the wise is the most fun.”

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault.”

Su Zixuan teased with a smile: “Big brother apologizes, please, little pig sister, forgive me.”

“How dare you call me a pig!”

Lin Qingluo was instantly riled up. She rolled up her sleeves and charged over, hammering her little fists on Su Zixuan.

Her strikes were as harmless as raindrops, not causing any pain.

“Spare me, little pig hero, I was wrong, I was wrong.”

Su Zixuan laughed as he teased her, springing off the chair to avoid her punches.

“How dare you say it again.”

Lin Qingluo kept up her pursuit. The two of them, a brother and a sister, laughed and chased each other out of the dining room.

“These children genuinely enjoy each other’s company.”

The children’s laughter was pure and innocent, bringing joy to those who heard it.

Ye Xue’e’s eyes were full of smiles. She put down her chopsticks, and without realizing it, her gaze was fixated on the two playing children in the yard.
