Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 717: Chapter 715: Mother, Considering an Engagement?_1

“What’s on your mind, child?”

Ye Xue’e was taken aback, her delicate finger poking her daughter’s forehead with a smile and a rebuke, “Your mother has said so much, but it seems I’ve spoken in vain.”

“Mother, you seem to really like Senior Brother Ji.”

Lin Qingluo, whose intelligence was unparalleled, sensed something amiss from her mother’s inadvertently revealed maternal smile.

Considering one possibility, she couldn’t help but feel goosebumps.

She was only twelve years old, and her mother wouldn’t be considering settling a marriage so early, would she?

Oh, my dear mother!

Was her wonderful life just beginning, only to be bound by marriage?

Absolutely not!

She had to dispel her mother’s thoughts as soon as possible!

“Mother, Qingluo has a very important matter to attend to. I must go to the Western Region and Southern Borderland. This time, I’ll be farther away and away from home for a longer period. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to accompany you.”

“You’re going on another journey?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue’e’s thoughts of matchmaking the children vanished instantly, and her pretty face visibly lost color.

“Mother, you know Qingluo well; I’m used to roaming outside and can’t stay at home.”

Lin Qingluo couldn’t bear it, gently holding Ye Xue’e’s hand, and began another round of consolation.

**

Second Aunt Lin was unwell and couldn’t attend the family banquet.

Lin Qingluo, concerned about her second aunt’s health, left Quiet Elegance Residence without stopping and went straight to Second Aunt Lin’s dwelling courtyard.

Quiet Fragrance Garden.

Lin Jinyang carefully held a bowl of medicine, blowing the liquid gently to cool it down. After tasting it and finding it not too hot, he handed it to his mother.

Second Aunt Lin, leaning against a soft pillow and struggling to sit up, glanced at the thick medicine liquid and felt nauseous, involuntarily wanting to vomit.

“Let Madam have a sour plum first, then drink the medicine when she doesn’t feel like vomiting anymore.”

Mo Canglan, fearing that the painstakingly brewed bowl of medicine would be wasted, took the bowl and reminded her softly.

“Mother, if you don’t want to drink it, you don’t have to. Let your son massage your back to make you feel better.”

Lin Jinyang picked a sour plum from the fruit plate, put it into Second Aunt Lin’s mouth, and tenderly massaged her back, gently comforting her.

“Eldest Miss is here!”

At this moment, Lin Qingluo entered the courtyard. Second Aunt Lin’s trusted maidservant, Xiang Ming, saw her and let her in with bright eyes and a lifted curtain.

“Master.”

“Sister.”

Lin Jinyang and Mo Canglan heard Xiang Ming’s announcement, both couldn’t help but feel delighted, and turned their heads towards the entrance.

“Sixth Brother, Brother Lan, how’s Second Aunt’s illness?”

Lin Qingluo walked in quickly, and she appeared in front of the two young men as she spoke.

“Second Aunt Lin’s illness is recurring, and she can hardly drink any medicine. She tries to drink a few sips, but it all comes back up.”

Mo Canglan’s joy lasted only a second. Hearing Master’s inquiry about the illness, his eyes dimmed in an instant.

“Mother hasn’t been sleeping well these past few days either.”

Lin Jinyang was extremely worried. At night, she would experience pain in her chest, weak breaths, and intense discomfort.

“If she can’t drink the medicine, boil it down more, add some honey, and make it into pills.”

Lin Qingluo furrowed her beautiful brows, quietly instructing Mo Canglan first.

“Alright.”

Mo Canglan had no objections, holding the bowl of medicine and leaving the room.

“Second Aunt, please lie down. I’ll examine you.”

Lin Qingluo watched him leave, took two steps forward, and, sitting on the edge of the bed, gently helped Second Aunt Lin to lie down.

“Qingluo, I’m sorry to trouble you.” @@novelbin@@

Second Aunt Lin’s face was ashen, her lips tinged with a sickly gray, and she looked extremely weak.
