Chapter 469: Chapter 467: Not Abandoning the Old Master_1
 

The Little Prince was having fun, but he missed his sister and wanted her to take him and his four little friends out of the city.

Naturally, Lin Qingluo agreed to take them out, and early the next morning, accompanied by her five older brothers, she took Wang Meng, Shitou, and Feng Yi on the trip.

They picked up the Little Prince outside the palace gate in a carriage and then went to the Su House to pick up her adoptive parents and their family.

The group headed to a farm estate outside the city in high spirits.

There were crowds of customers at the farm estate, and the people of the capital came to visit with their families and friends during the festive season.

The scenery in the valley was not inferior to that in the winter due to the cold, and there was even more enchanting purity and innocence under the snow.

There was not much game in winter, compared to the abundance of resources and animals in the Qilian Mountain Range.

For Wang Meng and others, the small valley didn’t arouse their interest, and the Lin brothers dutifully protected their little sister without indulging in hunting or playing.

The group entered the valley, followed the stream at the bottom of the valley, and then found a small snack stall with a wide view and fewer tourists to sit down and enjoy the delicious food.

Hot mutton soup, delicious stuffed buns, and tender grilled meat skewers made everyone content.

The five little cuties were greasy-mouthed, and Baoya drooled all over the place.

After the Lantern Festival, the plan to develop the canyon began.

Lin Qingluo decided to return to the countryside to help her eldest brother arrange for manpower and assist the people who came to develop the Mystic Canyon.

She wanted to invite the Old Master, the Duke of Zhen and his wife, and their family to stay in the countryside for a while.

However, her wish was not granted.

Old Master was the pillar of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, a god in the eyes of the Lin’s soldiers, like a lighthouse.

How could the Empress be suspicious of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion and let the Old Master leave the Capital City?

The Old Master couldn’t leave, and the Duke of Zhen and his wife also tearfully expressed that they would stay with him in the mansion and not leave their father alone to enjoy themselves.

As the heir of the Lin Clan, Lin Xiaoyang could not leave easily either.

In the end, only Ye Xue’e and Second Uncle Lin, accompanied by Lin Jinzhou, Lin Jinyun, and Lin Jinyang, the three brothers, returned to the countryside with her.

Lin Jinyu had important matters to attend to and left three days earlier.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the Lin family, along with the Su family, left the Capital City together.

The Little Prince also came along.

As Lin Qingluo was by his side, the Noble Lord felt at ease and deliberately asked her to take care of the Prince.

Under his sister’s protection, the Little Prince would grow up safely and healthily.

Two days later, the convoy arrived at Mingshui County.

After resting for a night at the Su House, they bid farewell to Su Zixuan the next morning and continued their journey.

In the afternoon, they arrived at Woniu Village without any issues.

The news of Lin Qingluo’s return to her ancestral roots had spread throughout the surrounding villages.

The villagers were shocked and delighted to learn that the Little Lucky Child, whom they considered to be as beautiful as a celestial being, was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion.

Despite their excitement, they were proud to have spoken with the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion.

A majority of villagers had sold their surplus grain to the Su family, and she had helped them during the floods, so they had developed a connection with her.

Thus, the villagers from the surrounding areas were elated.

They would brag about when they had met the Little Lucky Child, what they had talked about, which ferry they had taken together, and how bright the colors and styles of her clothes were.

Unfazed by the villagers’ excitement, Lin Qingluo returned to Woniu Village and began to make preparations to help her eldest brother develop and build the Mystic Canyon.
