After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"Yes." Lin Nian nodded, helping the man get dressed while mentioning the emperor's arrangements. "By the way, my brother said we'll return to the capital in early July."

"That won't be long." Yin Cheng didn't like being waited on hand and foot, but he preferred to be close to his wife.

My wife moved very gently and looked very focused, but her eyes were still a little red from crying.

Lin Nian said, "There's a couple in the village getting married at the end of the month. My brother said he'll go back to Beijing after attending the wedding banquet."

Yin Cheng's lips twitched. "Fine."

His brother's hobby is quite unique.

"Aren't you hungry?" Lin Nian asked. "You haven't eaten for two days."

"I'm not hungry." Yin Cheng gently touched his wife's slightly swollen eyelids, feeling a pang of heartache.

"Eat something, though. It's a local specialty: stir-fried pickled green beans with minced meat and rice. I'm sure you'll like it." Lin Nian said sternly, "Be good."

Yin Cheng said, "Then I'll go with you."

"No need, go find Pearl to play with." Lin Nian leaned over and kissed the man on the cheek.

Yin Cheng, spoiling the mood, said, "Niannian, I haven't washed my face for two days."

Lin Nian glared at him, "I wipe you several times a day, what's wrong with kissing!"

Yin Cheng immediately leaned closer, "Then give me a few more kisses."

A smile finally appeared on Lin Nian's face as she playfully scolded, "Go away, you're so annoying."

Seeing his wife turn and head back into the kitchen, Yin Cheng sighed and slowly walked to the backyard.

Outside, the moon and stars are few; it's another moonlit night.

He drew a bucket of well water to wash himself before he felt his mind was completely clear.

In the side room, Pearl sat on the bed playing with a dozen or so pearls about the size of his fist. The pearls rolled around him as he chuckled and stuffed them into his little sachet.

He was just too young to distinguish between big and small, and always felt that his little sachet could be filled with all the pearls.

So when you fill in one, the first one will be squeezed out when you fill in the second one.

So one is installed, and one falls out.

One is installed, one falls out...

Pearl was enjoying it immensely.

"Knock knock".

Yin Cheng knocked on the door respectfully, "Brother."

Yin Mo trembled violently and took a few steps forward to open the door.

"It's good that you're awake." Yin Mo patted his younger brother's shoulder and stepped aside to make way. "Are you here to pick up Pearl?"

Yin Cheng gazed wistfully at his brother.

What's the deal with Fu Yin?!

Haha, I, the mighty Grand Marshal of the Army and the People's Liberation Army, only found out today that my brother is actually a bro?

Okay, okay, you've been keeping it from me, haven't you?

Yin Mo, unaware of his inner thoughts, was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yin Cheng's lips moved, but he didn't say a word before going inside and taking the pearl away.

As he passed Yin Mo, he gave a heavy "humph".

Just wait, I'll go back and start a rebellion right away, and your reign as emperor will be over!

Yin Mo was even more confused now. He turned to the people in the room and said, "I feel like this kid is even less smart after he was detoxified."

Bai Yuchen turned a page of the book without even looking up, and said, "It's normal for a child to have some worries as they grow up."

Old Xue had collected a lot of medical books from the Northern Territory, which Bai Yuchen found quite interesting. He would read the medical books when he had nothing to do.

Yin Mo stepped forward and took the medical book from the man's hand. "Good husband, now that Little Pearl has gone back, don't look at the medical book, look at me."

Bai Yuchen chuckled, hooked his long arm around the person, and pulled him into his embrace.

-----------------

Pearl was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He grinned and happily called out, "Daddy!"

"Hey, my precious Pearl." Yin Cheng pinched his son's chubby cheeks. "Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes!" Pearl answered crisply.

Yin Cheng was instantly delighted and took his son to the kitchen to find his wife.

Just then, Lin Nian poured the pickled cowpeas into the pan where the minced meat was being stir-fried. Instantly, a rich aroma filled the entire kitchen.

Pearl sniffed and rubbed her little tummy. "Daddy, I'm hungry!"

Before Yin Cheng could speak, Lin Nian said, "No, you only ate a bowl of steamed egg custard tonight, you can't eat any more."

Pearl pouted, just about to pretend to cry, when her father pinched her pouting lips.

pearl:"???"

Lin Nian: "???"

Yin Cheng held back for a long time, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Nian sighed, "Stop playing with our son."

Pearl went from faking her tears to crying for real.

He broke free from his father's arms, ran to his stepfather, hugged Lin Nian's leg, and started crying, "Daddy's bullying me!"

Yin Cheng laughed so hard he bent over backwards, "Hahaha!"

Pearl felt even more aggrieved, "Waaah, little daddy."

Lin Nian picked up Pearl. The boy, who was not strong, was able to lift Pearl with one hand while skillfully cooking with the other.

Yin Cheng felt a slight pang of conscience. "Wife, otherwise I..."

"Shut up, you've made the baby cry."

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Yin Cheng emphasized his good attitude in admitting his mistake. "Pearl, come here and let Daddy hug you."

Pearl snorted and turned her head to the other side.

His little face was exactly like his father's when he was angry.

Yin Cheng stepped forward and pulled both the big one and the little one into her arms, "Baby."

Pearl buried her head in her father's shoulder and refused to look at him.

Lin Nian glanced at the man, her meaning quite clear: let's see how you coax him now.

"Are you really angry?" Yin Cheng poked Pearl's waist. "Daddy was wrong, please forgive Daddy, okay?"

Although Lin Nian knew that this title should belong to Le Haochuan's world, he hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to speak: "Husband, Pearl probably won't understand."

"Sometimes I just can't quite change it, but I'll gradually get better, don't worry."

Lin Nian nodded, then added, "But I understand when you call me wife."

Yin Cheng kissed his wife's earlobe.

"The baby's still here!" What kind of lewd behavior is this! Lin Nian glared at him, "Get off me, go get the dishes."

"Oh……"

Although Pearl really wanted to eat it, he didn't dare disobey his little father and could only pitifully bite into the sachet.

Yin Cheng felt sorry for his son and, taking advantage of his wife's inattention, stuffed a spoonful of fried rice into his son's mouth.

He gestured for his son to be quiet.

Pearl understood immediately.

He covered his mouth and chewed, not letting Lin Nian see at all.

When the family returned to their room to rest, Pearl was already clinging to her father, acting all cute and affectionate.

Lin Nian thought that there would be no grudge between a father and son, and never imagined that the two of them had managed to deceive him right under his nose.

Pearl, freshly washed and smelling fragrant, was placed on the bed. He was very energetic and rolled around on the bed.

After Lin Nian finished getting ready, she noticed that Yin Cheng hadn't changed into his nightgown and asked with some confusion, "Husband, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep," Yin Cheng said. "I've slept for two days straight, and now I feel like I can go up the mountain and fight a tiger."

Lin Nian caught the rolling pearls and put them under the covers. "Don't run around if you can't sleep, and definitely don't go into the mountains. It's dangerous there."

"Let me give you an example," Yin Cheng said. "Old Xue is getting old and probably doesn't sleep much, so I'll go find him and have a fight."

Lin Nian chuckled, about to tease the man, when he felt something hard in his hand. He asked疑惑地, "—Huh, what's this?"

"What?"

Lin Nian took out what she found on the bed, and by the dim candlelight, Yin Cheng could tell what it was almost immediately.

He was stunned.

"How could this be...?"
