Chapter 381: Chapter 379: Sweetly Calling Out “Father”_1
Upon hearing that her son had gone through all the trouble of chasing the White Fox for more than ten miles, she couldn’t help but feel sour and deliberately teased him.

“Little Qingluo is not an outsider, she’s our sister, it’s perfectly natural for a brother to give a gift to his sister. How is that trying to please her?”

Lin Jinyang wasn’t happy and stubbornly argued with his neck stiffened.

“Why haven’t I seen you showing some filial piety and catching one for your old mother too?”

Second Aunt Lin got even angrier when she heard this, and she slapped him on the back of his head, chastising him with her hands on her hips.

“Second Aunt, if you like it, you can take it and raise it yourself.”

Su Qingluo watched the mother and son bickering with a warm, smiling expression on her face.

Perhaps this is the correct way for the Duke of Zhen’s household to raise their sons.

“Ah, ah, Second Aunt didn’t mean that, take the White Fox, don’t be polite to your brother.”

Second Aunt Lin’s face changed instantly when facing Su Qingluo, and she showed a loving smile, snatching the bamboo cage and stuffing it into her hands without saying a word.

Lin Jinyang blinked in a daze, unable to believe his own eyes.

His internal injuries seemed to worsen.

“Thank you, Sixth Brother, I really like the White Fox.”

Su Qingluo’s eyes gleamed, capturing his fleeting expression, and she had a hard time holding back her laughter.

“No need to be polite, you gave me a wolf cub, I naturally can’t accept it without giving something back. Here’s a fox, so we’re even now.”

Lin Jinyang playfully winked at her and ran off: “I’m going to play with Mengzi.”

“Look at him, like a mischievous monkey, can’t sit still for a moment.”

Second Aunt Lin saw him running off and got upset again, complaining unhappily.

“Haha.”

Su Qingluo leaned on Ye Xue’e’s embrace with the bamboo cage, both mother and daughter laughing heartily.

Lin Jinyang loved the little wolf cub and eagerly asked Lin Jinyu to join him in the mountains to catch a White Fox as a gift for Su Qingluo.

Far away in the Duke of Zhen’s mansion in the Capital City, the remaining three of the seven Lin Clan brothers, Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, and Lin Jinpeng, were also greatly excited by the arrival of the adorable leopard and two wolf cubs.

The three brothers saw their second brother raising a leopard cub and their third brother raising wolf cubs. They attracted many followers wherever they went, and the Lin clan’s six children under the age of nine cheered and envied them to no end.

The three brothers decided privately to spend some time in the countryside, hunting in the mountains, galloping through the wilderness, and enjoying their carefree youth.

Not only the brothers, but also the crown prince shared the same thoughts.

The Crown Prince of Duke of Zhen, Lin Xiaoyang, was the biological father of Lin Jinyu and Su Qingluo. Since learning that his wife had adopted a daughter, he had been restless, daydreaming and having sleepless nights.

Every time he closed his eyes, he would think of a young girl with a gentle smile, sweetly calling him father.

Old Master shared the same feelings. Upon receiving the pearls sent by Su Qingluo, he felt extremely satisfied.

After listening to the accounts of Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou, he became more curious about the mysterious young girl.

The old man’s age prevented him from enduring long journeys.

He really wanted to visit the countryside to meet his intelligent granddaughter, but his body wouldn’t allow him to, which was a great pity.

Lin Xiaoyang seized the opportunity, volunteered, and shamelessly asked Old Master’s permission to represent the family and visit his recovering second brother in the countryside.

Old Master saw through his intentions, feeling so sad that he wanted to poke Lin Xiaoyang’s nose with his walking stick.

Eventually, he couldn’t stand Lin Xiaoyang’s relentless pestering and agreed to his request.

In early September, on the first day of the autumn semester, four fast horses left the Capital City under the cover of night, galloping towards Woniu Village.
