Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 456: Chapter 454: Second Brother, Mighty! _1
“Damn, no wonder I felt uneasy early in the morning, I’m seeing a ghost in broad daylight.”

He was cunning by nature and unwilling to suffer in silence, so he snorted and retorted.

“Who are you calling a ghost?”

All the girls were furious, some with hot tempers even wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight.

“The ghost knows who they are!”

Shitou instantly backed down, unwilling to fight with a girl, and ran off like a gust of wind.

By the time the girls chased him to the courtyard gate, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Alas, women, they are truly, truly troublesome!

Feng Yi was annoyed by the clamor and no longer in the mood to ask about the town, so he glanced at the kitchen and, seeing that it would be a while before the meal was ready, he picked up his quiver and left.

After the morning workout and being sweaty in the courtyard feeling uncomfortable, he thought it’d be better to go swimming.

Diving into the sea and taking deep, refreshing breaths was much better than being stifled at home.

Wang Meng finished kneading the dough and waited for the steamed buns to cook but didn’t see Shitou and Feng Yi, so he was puzzled.

Upon asking Lin Jinxu, he learned that both kids had run away.

He was a typical straight man, not good at talking to girls, so seeing a courtyard full of infatuated girls made his whole body uncomfortable.

Without hesitation, he grabbed a pair of Meteor Hammers and slipped away.

When Lin Jinzhou returned from his morning exercise, he saw the courtyard filled with infatuated hearts fluttering about.

His elegant and graceful Second Brother acted as if the infatuated girls were invisible, sitting at the stone table and drinking tea with a playful smile on the corner of his lips, which was particularly eye-catching.

Remaining calm in the face of the tigers and wolves around, Second Brother, mighty!

Lin Jinzhou silently praised his Second Brother as he strode into the courtyard.

“Second Brother, when are you going to the County Government Office?”

“After breakfast.”

Lin Jinxu set down the teacup, “Hand the roster to the County Magistrate and ask him to send someone here as soon as possible to take them home.”

“Do we still need to go to town?”

Lin Jinzhou was straightforward, also belonging to the category of straight man, who liked to take action rather than think. He habitually asked Lin Jinxu.

“Not today. There are many people in the courtyard, so you guys stay and help the Feng Clan with some chores.”

Lin Jinxu already had plans: “I’ll try to return with the government officers as soon as possible, maybe by noon.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Without any hesitation, Lin Jinzhou glanced at the kitchen and saw the steamed buns were not ready, so he also slipped away.

Being stared at by a courtyard filled with fervent gazes was an awful feeling!

He’d better find a quiet place, close his eyes, and take a nap!

*****

Lin Jinxu rushed to the County Government Office and briefly explained to the County Magistrate how they had rescued the girls from the bandits’ den, handing over the roster as well.

The County Magistrate was overwhelmed.

Just two days ago, he had sent someone to deal with the aftermath of the fisherman’s village tragedy, and before he could catch his breath, something else happened.

Lin Jinxu was the young master of Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, holding the Token that granted him authority higher than anyone else’s.

The County Magistrate didn’t dare to complain openly, so he muttered a few words under his breath and quickly dispatched government officers to head to the fisherman’s village once again.

The twenty girls were all from various fishing villages under the jurisdiction of the County Office.

Some of the villages had been struck by disaster and the girls were kidnapped by pirates, while others had encountered traffickers and were sold. The girls’ experiences were generally similar.

The government officers were familiar with the geography of the county and assigned tasks based on the roster, each taking responsibility for the villagers in their designated territories.

Before leaving, Lin Jinxu gave each of the twenty girls five silver taels as consolation money and also handed out a red envelope to each government officer.

These experienced officers took the red envelopes and smoothly tucked them into their pockets without a trace.
