Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1140: If I Had a Daughter-in-law, My Heart Would Be Content_1 Chapter 1148: Chapter 1140: If I Had a Daughter-in-law, My Heart Would Be Content_1 Third Lady Lin was the first to receive the letter. As she looked at her son’s familiar writing, her lips trembled, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Feng Liu couldn’t wait and walked over, rummaging through the stack of letters for the one she wanted.

“Big brother’s letter is here.”

With his sharp eyes, Lin Jinyang found the letter from Big Brother first and dangled it in front of his sister-in-law.

“Give it to me.”

Feng Liu pretended to be annoyed, snatched the letter from him, and went back to her room happily to read it.

Ah Ruhan nervously rubbed her handkerchief, not daring to approach as Feng Liu had, and stood there waiting with bated breath.

“Hehe, here’s the letter from Fifth Brother. Take your time reading it, sister-in-law.”

Lin Jinyang found the letter from Fifth Brother and handed it over with a smile, addressing her smoothly as “sister-in-law.”

Ah Ruhan’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment, and she took the letter, clasping it tightly in her hand, too shy to look up.

“You little brat!”

Second Aunt Lin watched with displeasure and gave him a cold look, “Your own mother is waiting for a letter, but you don’t know to bring it to her first and you’re only busy currying favor with people.”

“You…”

Third Lady Lin heard this and jokingly teased her, “You’re a grown-up now, yet you’re still like a child, jealous of your niece-in-law.”

Second Aunt Lin shook her handkerchief and sighed, “If only I had a daughter-in-law, my heart wouldn’t be so restless.”

“Mother, father’s letter has arrived.”

At this moment, Lin Jinyang happily ran over.

Second Aunt Lin’s breathing paused, “Your father’s letter?”

“Yes, Father is coming back.”

Lin Jinyang opened the letter in his mother’s stead, quickly reading through it and exclaiming in delight, “Fourth Master Lin has ordered father to lead the troops back to defend the city, and they’ve arrived in Capital City.”

“Really?”

Second Aunt Lin was overjoyed, tears welling up in her eyes immediately.

“Of course it’s true. How could your son dare to lie to his mother?”

Lin Jinyang waved the letter, smiling as he put it in his mother’s hand.

“Have your heart settled now?”

Suppressing her bitterness, Third Lady Lin laughed as she teased her again.

“I let Third Sister see my embarrassment.”

Second Aunt Lin gripped the letter tightly, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Inside Bamboo Courtyard, Old Master sat on his cane-backed armchair with his eyes closed, resting.

Duke Zhen and Lin Qingluo appeared side by side, the grandfather and granddaughter walking softly, trying their best not to disturb him.

Although Old Master was elderly, his hearing was still intact. Hearing the familiar footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry to disturb your rest.”

Lin Qingluo sat down beside the recliner with her warm smile, examining his pulse as was her habit.

“Qingluo is here?”

Old Master saw his granddaughter, and his cloudy eyes lit up with happiness as he patted the back of her hand.

“The valley’s four seasons are always spring, perfect for recuperation. Your health has improved significantly, Grandfather.”

Lin Qingluo kept her hand steady on his pulse, comforting Old Master with a smile, but her heart couldn’t help feeling heavy.

Old Master had aged, and his physical functions had severely deteriorated, showing signs of being completely spent.

“Hehe.”

Seeing his granddaughter, Old Master’s mood improved, and he began talking more.

“Grandfather knows his own body best. You don’t have to pretend to cheer me up.”

“Qingluo isn’t lying to you, Grandfather.”

Lin Qingluo pretended to be unhappy, and clung to Old Master’s arm, pouting, “Your health has really improved a lot, Grandfather. You will surely live a long life.”

“Hehe, you’re the best at making your grandfather happy.”

Old Master laughed heartily, his beard curling up at the corners. Looking at his beloved granddaughter, his eyes were filled with loving kindness.
