Feng Liu found this amusing and teased, “Isn't this all thanks to you? You keep telling people how good the feng shui is in the Lin Residence; even the iron trees that haven't bloomed for thousands of years have blossomed! The Lin Clan's young men have been in the Spirit Realm for less than a year, and they've already formed two wonderful romantic bonds.”
“Not just the brothers, but also Fifth Sister-in-law.”
Lin Qingluo quickly joined in, “She gave birth to a pair of boy and girl twins, making many people in the world envious.”
“Old Madam can finally enjoy wholehearted happiness with a house full of grandchildren.”
Third Lady Lin hugged Lin Yijing and laughed, her mouth hardly able to close with happiness.
“Aunt.”
Lin Yijing spun his bright, black eyes and chimed in with a smile, “The Spirit Fruits on the mountain are ripe. Yijing wants to pick them. Aunt, can you take me to pick the Spirit Fruits?”
“Of course.”
Lin Qingluo readily agreed, “The weather is lovely today. Grandmother, Mother, why don't you all come along? Let's all pick the Spirit Fruits together!”
“Old Madam?”
Ye Xue'e seemed interested and looked up at the Duchess of Zhen.
The Duchess of Zhen waved her hand, “This old woman is getting too old for that. The mountain path is steep, and I can't climb it.”
“Grandmother.”
Lin Qingluo playfully shook her grandmother's arm and pleaded, “Qingluo will take you, you won't get tired.”
“Old Madam.”
Third Lady Lin patted Lin Yijing's head lovingly and also tried to persuade her, “It's rare for Qingluo to have free time. She'll be accompanying us to pick Spirit Fruits. When she returns to the Immortal Palace, she won't have time to be with us.”
“All right, let's all go.”
Not wanting to disappoint her granddaughter, the Duchess of Zhen leaned on Lin Qingluo's arm and got up from her chair.
“I'll go change my clothes.”
Ye Xue'e was overjoyed and walked out of the room with her maid Ying'er.
“I'll also go prepare. I'll grab a fruit basket and a straw hat.”
Third Lady Lin's eyes sparkled with delight. Holding Lin Yijing's hand, she followed Ye Xue'e out of the room.
“Just look at them. They're going to pick some Spirit Fruits, and they're as excited as a bride on her wedding day. They've completely lost their dignity as the head of the household.”
Watching her two daughters-in-law leave with giggles, the Duchess of Zhen was left behind, feeling a mixture of happiness and sorrow.
“Grandmother.”
Lin Qingluo smiled and waved to a servant girl, signaling for her to come, “There are many stones on the mountain path; it's hard to walk with ordinary shoes. Bring Old Madam a pair of shoes with thicker soles so she can walk more comfortably.”
“Yes.”
The servant girl understood and hurriedly went to fetch a pair of soft cloth shoes that had been worn before.
Lin Qingluo examined the shoes, noting their thick soles and soft, comfortable lining, perfect for walking on the mountain path.
Satisfied, she nodded and crouched down to help her grandmother put on the shoes herself.
The Duchess of Zhen gently stroked her granddaughter's hair with love and indulgence.

Ye Xue'e changed into some farming clothes, brought a fruit basket, and waited with Ying'er at the southwest gate.
Third Lady Lin also changed into more fitting attire and put on a straw hat. With a basket, she accompanied Lin Yijing and met up with Ye Xue'e.
Upon hearing the news, all the ladies, except for Ah Ruhan who was still confined to her postpartum period, gathered together without exception.
Feng Liu, Jiang Manyun, Wei Shumin, and even Xu Qiao'er, the young women were all chatting and laughing, radiating vitality.
The Duchess of Zhen glanced at Wei Shumin's slightly bulging belly and imagined her future grandchildren, her eyes crinkling with joy.

Fruit Mountain in July was filled with an abundance of ripe fruit, casting a sweet aroma in the air.
Fresh peaches, juicy pears, mangoes, and lychees weighed heavily on tree branches all across the mountain.
Little spirits flew out of the Orb, playing and darting through the fruit groves, helping to pick the Spirit Fruits, and laughing sweetly with joy.
