Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 540

Chapter 540: Chapter 539: Encouraging Brothers to Dive In_1
 

“Even our brothers might not be able to win against Sister Qingluo’s martial arts, so why should I compete with her?”

Lin Jinlei wasn’t foolish, as he shifted the responsibility to his older brothers.

His words stirred up quite a commotion!

The spacious hall instantly became silent.

Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, Lin Jinyang, and Lin Jinpeng, the four innocent brothers, all had dark expressions on their faces.

Lin Jinyu also pretended to be thoughtful, assessing the truthfulness of the statement.

He was proud of his exceptional martial arts skills, the unquestionable standout among his peers.

However, when it comes to competing against his sister, who would win was uncertain.

“Sister Qingluo, Sister Qingluo, Ninth Brother said your martial arts are stronger than our brothers’, is that true?”

Lin Jinfeng and Lin Jinming, as enthusiastic and innocent little children, approached Lin Qingluo and eagerly sought the truth.

With those words, the four brothers’ expressions darkened even more.

Lin Jinyu also revealed a serious expression.

“Um.”

Lin Qingluo was baffled.

Should she tell the truth and hurt her brothers’ pride?

“Sister, while all the brothers are here, you should compete at the Martial Arts Arena!”

Seeing his sister not answering, Lin Jinfeng couldn’t wait any longer and urged her incessantly.

Lin Jinming also clapped his hands, with a pure and innocent smile, “Yes, yes, Sister, Jinming supports you. If you defeat our brothers, tonight’s chicken drumsticks will be yours.”

The four Lin brothers wore a long face.

Were these two little ones pretending to be innocent while secretly pushing their brothers into the water?

“Ahem.”

Lin Jinyu sensed the awkwardness of his brothers, and as the eldest brother, he felt it was his duty to step up and defuse the situation.

“The feast is about to begin, and our grandparents are here. It’s not right to let the elders wait. Let’s not compete today, and save it for another time. There will be plenty of opportunities for siblings to learn from each other in the future.”

“Why not compete today instead of waiting? Before the banquet, a contest will add to the festivities.”

On the contrary, Duke of Zhen, upon hearing his precious granddaughter would be comparing martial arts skills, instantly became excited. He quickly approved the idea and insisted on organizing the contest outside the Drunken Snow Residence.

The four brothers of the Lin Clan had cold sweat running down their necks.

Using them as appetizers, he surely must be joking, right?

“We’re about to eat, there’s no need to compete now. I won’t allow my precious granddaughter to go hungry.”

The Duchess’s somewhat willful voice rang out, soothing the brothers’ ears like heavenly music.

The four brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Before they could express their joy, the next words instantly poured a basin of cold water on them.

“After the meal, we’ll compare martial arts. Grandmother also wants to see our Qingluo’s extraordinary skills firsthand.”

**

The welcome feast began, with the whole family present. Every important family member was there, and even the Old Master made a rare appearance. A servant pushed him in a wheelchair, and he entered the Drunken Snow Residence.

Duke of Zhen was pleasantly surprised and went out to greet him personally. He took over the wheelchair from the servant and pushed his father into the hall.

The grandchildren paid their respects to the Old Master one by one.

Lin Qingluo smiled and approached the Old Master, reminding him not to eat spicy food. The old man’s face dropped instantly, as he fumed and glared, directing his anger at Duke of Zhen.

Duke of Zhen touched his nose with a bitter smile and helped the old man to sit on the main seat.

Taking advantage of the Old Master not paying attention, he secretly ordered the servants to remove all spicy dishes from the table.

The kitchen received the order and was thrown into chaos.

The chefs rushed around in a panic, sweating profusely as they quickly changed the menu and prepared a sumptuous feast once more.
