Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 519: Chapter 510: Challenging the Authority of the Empress_1

“Cough, cough.”

Luo Zhan did not expect her to know even about Xue Rufeng’s infiltration into the Nanqi court. He was secretly alarmed, and a thin layer of sweat beads broke out on his forehead.

“Brother Zhan, don’t be nervous. Qingluo has no ill intentions.”

Lin Qingluo smiled warmly, “I just want to discuss some things with Brother Zhan.”

“What’s the matter, Little Qingluo?”

Luo Zhan took a quiet, deep breath, forcibly swallowed his astonishment, and put on a spring breeze-like smile again.

“The new head of the Wang Clan from Long City, Wang Rong, and I have met once.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows raised lightly, revealing a hint of teasing: “If you think about it, I am his savior.”

Long City?

Lin Xiaoyang, holding a teacup, paused, recalling the secret report about Xue Ji from the Shadow Guard, and felt a surge of anger.

“The person who saved Wang Rong’s life is you?”

At the same time, Luo Zhan’s breath hitched, full of disbelief.

“Mmhm, yes.”

Lin Qingluo smiled mischievously, her bright, black eyes filled with playful banter.

“Brother Zhan doesn’t believe it?”

“No, no, Little Qingluo, don’t misunderstand.”

Luo Zhan’s face flushed as he hurriedly explained: “Brother Zhan doesn’t doubt you. It’s just too much of a coincidence, it makes people feel that the Fengqi Empire is too small, and you run into lifesavers everywhere!”

“Hehe.”

Lin Qingluo chuckled: “From Brother Zhan’s words, has Wang Rong also come to Capital City?”

“Indeed.” Luo Zhan sighed with emotion: “He just arrived yesterday and is staying at Jufeng Trading Company’s residence outside the city.”

“Brother Zhan, can you introduce me to him?”

Lin Qingluo grinned: “Qingluo has some matters and would like to ask the new head of the Wang Clan from Long City for a favor.”

“Little Qingluo, if you want to meet him, that’s naturally possible.”

Luo Zhan’s eyes gleamed slightly as he suppressed his astonishment and smiled very amiably: “Brother Zhan will go back and inform him immediately, so that he can prepare generous gifts and come to pay his respects.”

“There’s no need for generous gifts.”

Lin Qingluo smiled warmly: “As long as he comes in person, that’s enough.”

“How can that be?”

Luo Zhan feigned dissatisfaction: “To repay you for saving his life, just presenting gifts would be letting him off easy. Isn’t his life worth a thousand taels of gold?”

“Hehe.”

Lin Qingluo was amused, her laughter revealing her teeth: “Then thank you, Brother Zhan.”

After Luo Zhan left, the father and daughter talked in the study.

Lin Xiaoyang was full of doubts: “Qingluo, what do you want Wang Rong for?”

“Wang Rong is an upright man with a good character and is trustworthy.”

Lin Qingluo didn’t hide anything, took out the Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms, turned to the location of the eastern border, and looked solemn.

“I want to cooperate with him to build a defensive line along the eastern border in the name of the Wang Clan from Long City, which won’t arouse suspicion. Even if the border commanders know about it, they won’t stop us. Having a strong defense line is also beneficial for them to guard the border.”

Lin Xiaoyang was shocked: “Qingluo, why did you have such an idea?”

“Precaution.”

Lin Qingluo’s little face was solemn: “I personally walked along the border line and felt a deep sense of insecurity. The laxity of the eastern defense line is even more severe than I had imagined. Once Nanqi can’t resist Beiqi’s invasion, heavy-armoured troops will drive straight into Long City, and Fengqi will be in danger.”

Lin Xiaoyang’s face turned pale: “Qingluo, I have been idle for thirty-six years and am truly ashamed. I cannot match your foresight.”

“Father is not unaware, but due to concerns about the Empress, he’s lost his ambitions and martial spirit.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes blazed, her eyebrows raised and revealing a hint of pride.

“I am determined to challenge the authority of the Empress and hope that father can also regain his spirit, resume his martial arts, and restore past glory. Someday, we father and daughter can join the battlefield together to defend our family and country.”
