Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter-Chapter 395 - 393: Sending Lin Baozhu Away and Bringing the Granddaughter Home_1

Chapter 395: Chapter 393: Sending Lin Baozhu Away and Bringing the Granddaughter Home_1

Her own little sister!

What a pure-hearted, intelligent and lovely girl!

Yet, their family was separated for a full decade.

They couldn’t accompany her during her growth, missing countless wonderful moments.

The ten years of separation will forever be a regret for the whole family.

With a heavy heart, Lin Xiaoyang had no interest in staying in the countryside. After sobering up from the night’s drinking, he rushed to Xuzhou City.

Duke of Zhen’s influence spread throughout various towns and counties, with most of them doing business with Jufeng Trading Company.

He’d known Xue Rufeng for a long time. Though not close friends, they shared common goals and had frequent private interactions.

Thinking about how someone intended to obstruct the Duke of Zhen from uncovering the truth, a fire burned within his heart, demanding release.

To reach Xuzhou City from Woniu Village, even by fast horse, took at least two days. If it rained and the mountain roads became difficult, the journey would take even longer.

Unfortunately, the heavens didn’t favor him; Lin Xiaoyang encountered a torrential downpour near Long City.

Wild winds howled, the mountain roads turned muddy, and fallen stones blocked his path.

Left with no choice, he could only stay at an inn, waiting for the storm to pass and the roads to clear before continuing his journey.

He waited for three days.

Three days later, the furious Duke of Zhen’s heir finally arrived at the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion headquarters in Xuzhou City, where he met the person who infuriated him.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyang, Xue Rufeng showed no surprise, nor did he continue hiding his intentions. With a mocking expression, he threw the investigation records from five years ago directly at him.

After rapidly reading through them, Lin Xiaoyang felt as if lightning had struck his body, leaving him dazed and distraught as he left the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion.

Two days later, a haggard-looking Duke of Zhen’s heir, with red-rimmed eyes and a scruffy beard, knelt before the Old Master and his parents.

Without Xue Rufeng’s interference, the Duke of Zhen’s secret agents quickly confirmed the authenticity of the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion case records by following a trail of clues.

Upon learning the truth, the Duke of Zhen, his heart aching and consumed by raging anger, immediately summoned the cousin of Aunt Xue to the mansion.

That man was a coward, frightened out of his wits.

Seeing the Duke of Zhen, his legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground. Without any hesitation, he confessed every single detail of what had happened back then.

Lin Xiaoyang, hearing him admit, felt heart-wrenching pain and vomited blood on the spot before collapsing into unconsciousness.

The Duke and his wife felt both pain and hatred, torn between their son’s suffering and their missing granddaughter.

They ordered Aunt Xue to be sent to a nunnery, her hair shaved and forbidden from ever leaving the temple.

As for Lin Baozhu, the pampered, headstrong girl who had been loved and raised for a decade in error, the couple, despite their reluctance, could not remain sympathetic in light of their yearning for their true granddaughter.

They broke one of Aunt Xue’s cousins’ legs, spared his wretched life, and made him take Lin Baozhu away.

Lin Baozhu had been enjoying the wealth and glory at the Duke of Zhen’s mansion for ten years and refused to leave with her biological father. She cried and threw tantrums, clinging on for a long time.

The Duke and his wife, thinking about their real granddaughter’s decade-long suffering in the countryside, could no longer bear any love for Lin Baozhu. They endured the heartache and had the secret agents forcibly send her back to the Xue Clan.

Thus, the Duke and his wife cleared the obstacles in their family and concentrated on welcoming their long-lost granddaughter back to the mansion.

It’s worth mentioning that the Old Master, from the moment he learned about his granddaughter being switched, remained composed as though he’d already anticipated it.

Only when he knew that Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou had set out to bring his granddaughter back to the mansion, did the old man’s clouded eyes fill with sorrowful tears.

A veteran warrior and strategist, how could the old man not understand the Empress’s suspicions?
