Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 533: Chapter 532: Xue Baozhu, The Legitimate Young Miss, First Meeting_1
 

The crowd scattered on both sides of the street fell silent as they watched the hero’s children of the Fengqi Empire pass by with admiration and reverence.

“Fourth Brother, save me!”

Perhaps it was an inauspicious day to go out.

Before the siblings had a chance to catch their breath, Lin Baozhu, or rather Xue Baozhu now, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd and dashed towards Lin Jinyun without any hesitation.

When she reached the horse’s head, she lost her footing and fell forward, hitting her forehead on the ground and bleeding.

“Hiss!”

Lin Jinyun’s mount neighed in surprise, lifting its front hooves high and almost stepping on Xue Baozhu as it landed.

“Baozhu?”

Lin Jinyun had been siblings with Xue Baozhu for ten years, and it would be a lie to say they had no feelings for each other.

Seeing her now with disheveled hair, bruised eyes, and a forehead bleeding, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache and immediately dismounted to help her up.

“Fourth Brother, save me, my father gambled and lost money, the debt collectors are at the door, the Madam hates me, beats me and scolds me as the bringer of doom, and wants to sell me to the creditors to pay off the debts.”

Seeing Lin Jinyun, Xue Baozhu felt like she had found her savior, clinging to his arm and crying loudly in the street.

“Baozhu? Isn’t she the girl who was brought up by mistake in Duke Zhen’s mansion for ten years?”

“The once arrogant and domineering young lady has fallen to such plight, tsk tsk…”

“It’s so pitiful, unloved by her parents and now to be sold to the creditors.”

“Why feel pity for her? When she abused people in the street, did she ever show any pity for us commoners? I think she deserves it!”

“The real Miss is better, I heard from the pharmacy that the Benevolent Frostbite Ointment we use is developed by Miss Qingluo herself, who specifically instructed the pharmacy not to sell at high prices so that all Fengqi Empire citizens can afford it.”

“Now there is a good show to watch, a meeting between the real and fake granddaughter, what an exciting scene.”

“What a big juicy gossip, brothers, I’m so lucky to be able to brag about it to our relatives and friends.”

The silent street suddenly became noisy again with the appearance of Xue Baozhu.

The onlookers were getting excited, and their eager gazes could almost ignite a fire as they looked at the two true and fake granddaughters.

“Fourth Brother, the street is not a place to talk. First, find a place to settle Baozhu down. We can deal with Xue Clan’s issues later.”

Lin Jinlong was straightforward, unlike Lin Jinyun’s gentle demeanor. Although he too felt sympathy for Xue Baozhu’s plight, he suppressed his irritation in front of his younger sister.

“Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother is right.”

Lin Qingluo agreed calmly and composedly: “Since Miss Xue is in trouble, there’s no need for Fourth Brother to accompany Qingluo out of the city for a trip. Just stay and settle Miss Xue down first.”

Upon hearing the word “trip,” Xue Baozhu’s eyes flashed with jealousy, and she suddenly looked up at the horseback.

Her resentful eyes met Lin Qingluo’s gaze, which carried a hint of ridicule and mockery. Startled, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact again.

“Alright, I’ll take Baozhu away from here first. Once I have settled her in, I’ll go to the outskirts of the city to find you guys.”

Out of concern for the reputation of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, Lin Jinyun didn’t want to delay any longer and was eager to deal with the matter promptly.

He got back on his horse, pulled Xue Baozhu onto the saddle, and turned to his younger sister with an apologetic look.

“We’ll wait for Fifth Brother at the farmhouse outside the city.”

Lin Qingluo responded with a sweet smile, her eyebrows slightly arched, carrying a hint of playfulness.

Xue Baozhu?

She too was curious as to how the plot would unfold next.
