/ Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter Chapter 1243
Chapter 1243: Chapter 1233: Everyone Has Their Own Destiny; Let Her Go _1 Chapter 1243: Chapter 1233: Everyone Has Their Own Destiny; Let Her Go _1 “Yes.”
Young Xu Ruoxuan had no fear when facing the young general he was meeting for the first time, smiling like a breath of fresh spring air.
“The Xu Clan.”
Lin Jinxu's eyes flickered, and he asked seemingly casually, “Besides your Third Uncle, who else in your family is good at designing bridges and building water conservancy projects?”
“My eldest uncle and father have both inherited grandfather's skills, but if we're talking about who's the best, I guess it's still Third Uncle.”
Xu Ruoxuan thought for a moment before answering cautiously, “Third Uncle is smart since he was young. He could master anything quickly, and he was the son that Grandfather valued the most. Unfortunately…”
“What's unfortunate?”
With his eyebrows raised, Lin Jinxu showed some interest.
“Ahem.”
Realizing he had misspoken, Xu Ruoxuan pretended to cough twice and avoided Lin Jinxu's gaze, “Ruoxuan doesn't know much about the elders' affairs, so it's not appropriate to comment.”
“Hehe.”
Lin Jinxu smiled indifferently with raised eyebrows, “It seems that you have great respect for your Third Uncle!”
“Hehe.”
Xu Ruoxuan rubbed his nose and chuckled, taking the opportunity to end the topic.
“He's here.”
Lin Jinxu, possessing sharp senses, suddenly looked up and toward the official road.
A moment later, a line of carriages and horses appeared in their sight as they climbed over the hillside.
“Third Uncle!”
Xu Ruoxuan looked in the direction of the sound and indeed saw the dusty procession.
One figure among them was particularly familiar, with a short three-inch beard and gentle scholarly demeanor. It was the person they were waiting for, his uncle, Xu Liang.
Lin Jinxu stepped down from the pavilion and stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright.
Xu Ruoxuan stood beside him and, without thinking, glanced at their shoulders. He clicked his tongue a few times, somewhat annoyed.
There was a significant height difference between the two.
His head barely reached Lin Jinxu's ears.
“Hehe.”
Lin Jinxu happened to see his small movement and let out a pleased chuckle from his throat.

As the line of carriages and horses approached, Xu Liang saw the people waiting by the roadside and was overjoyed. He pulled the reins tightly and dismounted from his horse.
“Third Uncle.”
Xu Ruoxuan, beaming with happiness, went forward to greet him first.
“Hahaha,”
Seeing his nephew, Xu Liang was overjoyed and teased, “Our Xu family's ancestors must be smoking with pride. We have produced a top scholar.”
Xu Ruoxuan's face froze with an awkward smile.
Is Third Uncle serious?
Is this how you praise someone?
“Hahaha.”
Suppressing his laughter, Lin Jinxu stepped forward and greeted Xu Liang politely, “Sir, you must be tired after your long journey. On behalf of my younger brother, I have come to welcome you. Please, let's go to the palace for a reunion.”
Xu Liang clasped his hands: “I am not worthy of such an honor. It's embarrassing that General had to come personally.”
“Sir, there's no need to be so modest.”
Lin Jinxu's eyes showed respect: “Sir's talent is beyond our reach. My brother asked specifically for your assistance, so we hope you will not hesitate to help.”
“I am grateful for the General's high regard,”
Feeling deeply moved, Xu Liang hesitated for a moment before broaching another topic, “There's one more thing I need to inform you about.”
Lin Jinxu's eyebrows raised, “Please, do tell, sir.”
Xu Liang's eyelids quivered as he asked hesitantly, “Do you still remember Liu Qingqing?”
“Liu Qingqing?”
An image of the events that took place in the countryside flashed in Lin Jinxu's mind, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily: “What happened to her?”
“Miss Liu did not follow me back to the Prefecture residence.”
Xu Liang was embarrassed, “She left halfway through under a pretense, and we have had no news of her since.”
“This is not your fault, sir.”
Lin Jinxu paused for a moment, then smiled with relief, “Everyone has their own fate. Let her do as she pleases.”
“If the General doesn't mind, that's good.”
Xu Liang visibly relaxed, his worries dissipating as they continued on their way.
