Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter-Chapter 537 - 536: Madam’s Decision_1
Chapter 537: Chapter 536: Madam’s Decision_1
“It must have been difficult for you, sending Baozhu to live on the estate you brought as a dowry, all for Qingluo’s sake.”
Old Madam’s brows and eyes dimmed, and she gently patted her hand with great relief.
“Let’s leave it at that. We’ve done our best for Baozhu. It’s not anyone else’s fault that her biological father is such a scum. It’s her Xue Clan’s ancestors who committed sins, raising such a good-for-nothing.”
“As long as you think so, Madam, I am relieved.”
Second Aunt Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows raised, and her face showing joy.
“I was afraid that you would feel sorry for Baozhu and resent me for being harsh to her.”
“She has enjoyed a good life in Duke of Zhen’s residence for ten years. That’s enough.”
Old Madam sighed in her heart, “As long as she stays in the village and behaves herself, we can raise her till she comes of age and then find her a good family to marry into. It would be a good deed. But if she refuses, then so be it. We won’t concern ourselves with her.”
“I understand, Old Madam.”
Second Aunt Lin rejoiced in her heart. Only at this moment did she truly feel at ease, all her irritation swept away.

As soon as Second Aunt left, Little Kingfisher immediately told the conversation between the two women to her mistress.
Lin Qingluo gave no comment.
Old Madam’s reaction was within her expectations.
She could understand the old woman’s kindness and reluctance to part with a child she had raised for ten years.
As for Xue Baozhu, as long as she did not cause trouble and stayed quietly in the countryside.
Qingluo had no extra time to deal with her, so she let her fend for herself on the estate.

The farm was picturesque, the scent of roasted meat permeating the air. The Little Prince played happily and ate to his heart’s content.
It was only at sunset that they reluctantly returned to the residence.
Lin Qingluo sent him back to the palace, watched him enter the palace gate, and then turned her horse around to leave.
Upon returning to the residence, no one explicitly mentioned the matter.
Old Madam’s eyes were filled with love. She ordered a large meal prepared with Qingluo’s favorite dishes.
Lin Qingluo knew full well that Old Madam avoided the topic for fear that she would take it to heart.
Since Old Madam didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t ask either, so she accompanied her family in the meal, enjoying the warmth of family affection.

Upon learning that Zizhu had caught Eldest Miss’s attention and would soon be serving her, Nanny Sun was surprised and stunned for as long as it took to finish a cup of tea.
She asked Qinghe three times and received the same answer each time, finally believing that her hearing wasn’t failing her.
Zizhu was only ten years old, a lowly sweeping maid, not even a third-class maid.
Entering Eldest Miss’s service at once transformed her into a peacock, her status elevated.
Nanny Sun, with all her years of experience, saw things clearly.
Eldest Miss was the darling of the family, and even if one offended others, they couldn’t offend Eldest Miss.
Although Zizhu was clumsy and inefficient at her tasks, which often annoyed Nanny Sun, she wouldn’t go against Eldest Miss’s wishes and displease her.
Lin Qingluo mentioned the matter to Qinghe at breakfast. After dinner at the Drunken Frost Residence, she bade farewell to her grandmother and saw Zizhu wearing the attire of a second-class maid, holding a lantern, waiting outside the courtyard door.
“Miss, Sister Qinghe asked me to wait at Drunken Frost Residence to meet you.”
The maid’s face beamed with joy, standing on tiptoes, constantly peering towards the main hall. Seeing her mistress come out, she grinned and approached.
“Just you? Where are Qinghe and Cuiliu?”
Lin Qingluo smiled gently, very satisfied with Nanny Su’s efficiency.
“Sister Qinghe caught a cold this morning and has a cough. She’s resting in her room.”
