Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

“Miss, I am sorry.”

Zizhu, distressed and flushed, tears swirling in her eyes, said, “I was so focused on bringing tea for Miss and didn’t pay attention to where I was walking.”

“It’s just a pot of tea – it’s nothing. We’ll just clean up.”

Lin Qingluo smiled nonchalantly, turned her gaze to Nanny Sun, showing concern, “Your foot got scalded, Nanny. You should go back to your room and apply some ointment. Let one of the palace maid go to the front courtyard and ask the housekeeper, Lin, for help.”

“Oh!”

Nanny Sun seeing that Miss had no intention of blaming Zizhu, glared at her angrily and hobbled out of the chamber.

“I’ll clean up the mess.”

Zizhu was deeply touched that Miss didn’t blame her. The tears she’d held back earlier started pouring out.

“Be careful when you sweep, don’t hurt your feet.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes softened with concern and she reminded gently.

“Yes.”

Zizhu wiped her tears with her sleeve, ran outside to get a broom, and began to clean up the broken pieces on the floor.

“Zizhu, when it’s just us, please stop referring to yourself as ‘servant’.”

Lin Qingluo cast her gaze at the little maid who was diligently sweeping the floor, her voice was soft as a feather.

“Huh?”

Zizhu didn’t understand Miss’s words. She lifted her moist eyelids in confusion, her face a picture of bewildered innocence.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Just call yourself Zizhu.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes were gentle, “It sounds better and makes my heart feel light and clear.”

“Thank you, Miss.”

This time, Zizhu understood. Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn’t control her tears anymore. They gushed out like a fountain.

“Alright, no more crying.”

Lin Qingluo smiled, “Go to the front courtyard, tell the housekeeper, Lin, to bring the six new maids over.”

“Yes, Zizhu is going right away.”

Zizhu wiped her tears with her sleeve, and, braving the snow, ran towards the front courtyard.

The arrival of the six maids was swift; as the trusted aide of the crown prince Lin Xiaoyang, the housekeeper, Lin, knew of Miss’s return home.

Seeing Zizhu coming for help despite the snowy weather, without any hesitation, he immediately instructed Nanny Liu, who was responsible for teaching manners, to bring the six new maids to the Fluttering Snow Residence.

By the time Nanny Liu with the rest arrived, Lin Qingluo had already changed into her casual house robes. Sitting by the window at her desk, she was using her Spiritual Power to map out the terrain of Phoenix Pass.

She was comparing this map with the records of geographical features in the Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms, in search of even the slightest differences.

“Miss, the six maids have arrived.”

Zizhu, leading the group, couldn’t care less about the slippery snow. She paced forward, rushing into the chamber to notify Miss.

“They’re here? So soon?”

Lin Qingluo, hearing the announcement, packed away her Mana. She rolled up the map she had imprinted and stored it in her Storage Ring.

“Miss, Nanny Liu who teaches etiquette has personally brought them over.”

Zizhu just happened to lift the curtain at this moment, poking her head in from outside, looking over at Miss’s desk, grinning from ear to ear.

“It’s cold outside, let them all come in.”

Lin Qingluo smiled, moving from her desk to the front of her bed, picked up Hunao, waiting for the group to enter.

“Yes, miss.”

Zizhu replied cheerfully, pulling her head back in. Seeing Nanny Liu almost at the door, she lifted the curtain once again, pointing inside to show that Miss had given permission to enter.

Nanny Liu nodded, leading the six maids across the threshold, standing in a line in front of Miss.

“Chirp, Chirp.”

Upon seeing the seven unfamiliar faces, Hunao, the little tiger cub, got a bit nervous and made a faint sound, retreating slightly into his master’s arms.

The adorable little tiger cub immediately became the center of everyone’s attention.
