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

Chapter 16 The young master is definitely head over heels in love with the prince.

The capital city, the Lin residence.

Lin Nian was slightly disappointed after reading the letter her older brother sent back.

The letter said that my elder brother met an old friend on his way home and would have to return home later, with no set date.

Hua Yue ran as fast as she could, carrying a large box, calling out, "Young Master! Young Master!"

Lin Nian looked at him carrying such a large box and felt a little scared. "In the future, just have the servants carry these heavy things. Don't hurt yourself."

Hua Yue placed the box on the table. "Don't worry, young master, I'm very strong."

Lin Nian asked curiously, "What is this?"

"The prince sent it back, but I don't know what it is," Huayue said prayingly. "I hope it's a box of delicious food."

Xiao Fu also came over and said, "This box is so big, how much delicious food must be in it?"

Lin Nian tapped the two boys' foreheads helplessly, "You two little gluttons."

Hearing that it was a man who had brought it back, Lin Nian felt a little expectant. "Shall we open it and take a look?"

"Mmm!" The two young men nodded at the same time, staring intently at the box. Lin Nian was also a little nervous, so he gently opened it.

The box contained a headdress adorned with flowers; a small bamboo basket filled with fruit; and a set of emerald green dress.

Xiao Fu was the first to call out, "Young master, there are small red fruits!"

"These are cherries from the south!" Huayue said. "I heard they're delicious."

After Xiao Fu took the fruit away to wash it, she specially found a clear glass cup to plate it.

"Young master, please try it," Xiao Fu asked. "Is it delicious?"

Under the expectant gazes of the two young men, Lin Nian picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, her mouth immediately filled with sweet juice.

"It's delicious." Lin Nian smiled gently, her eyes crinkling. "You should try some too."

Hua Yue couldn't wait any longer. After finishing one, she said, "It's so delicious, young master! Let's write to the prince and ask him to buy more and send them back!"

Lin Nian pinched the child's fair cheek and said, "He's going to provide disaster relief, not to go on vacation. How can he be free all the time?"

"Alright then." Seeing that Xiao Fu was hesitating and hadn't moved, Hua Yue asked, "Xiao Fu, aren't you going to eat?"

Xiao Fu said, "Such expensive food, young master should eat it."

Hua Yue grabbed one and stuffed it into Xiao Fu's mouth, saying, "Young Master has already given you all of these, so don't be shy."

Xiao Fu smacked her lips. "So sweet."

Lin Nian smiled.

The basket of cherries was quickly devoured by the three of them. Huayue urged, "Quickly, look what else the Prince bought?"

Lin Nian turned her gaze back to the box. "It looks like a dress."

Upon hearing the word "skirt," Hua Yue's pupils dilated in shock, and she immediately grabbed Lin Nian's hand.

Lin Nian was somewhat puzzled.

Hua Yue said seriously, "Young Master, promise me that even if the clothes the Prince buys are all sorts of ugly things, you won't hate him, okay?"

"Are the clothes he bought really that bad?" Lin Nian asked.

Hua Yue nodded and mentioned the most painful and unbearable part of her life: "When I was ten years old, the prince gave me a purple dress."

Lin Nian asked, "And then?"

"I wore that dress he gave me, and the Northern Army mocked me for three whole months!" Huayue said bitterly.

"Not only the Northern Army, but also the old and young in Rainbow City, from then on, whenever they saw me, they all called me Little Eggplant! It made me so angry, I really wanted to strangle the prince back then."

Lin Nian patted Hua Yue's head. "Don't be angry anymore. I'll buy you pretty dresses in the future."

"Alright!" Hua Yue raised her head. "So, young master, you mustn't be angry with the prince after you read this."

"Yes, I'm not angry with him."

Hua Yue then released Lin Nian's hand.

Lin Nian carefully took out the green ivy dress from the box, measured the size, and said, "The dress is a bit long."

Xiao Fu said, "It's not that bad—" His voice trailed off, and he said with difficulty, "This...green ivy dress...hehe, it's quite...quite unique."

Green is an extremely elegant color, but it is paired with white, and with layers of green gauze, the transition is extremely abrupt, like a giant cabbage that has come to life.

Hua Yue covered her face, "You stupid prince, you're hopeless."

Lin Nian didn't seem to mind. "It's alright. We can have the tailor in the manor alter the length, and it will still be wearable."

Hua Yue thought to herself, "Young Master must be madly in love with the Prince. He actually wants to wear such an ugly dress."

Within Jiangzhou territory.

Of the fifteen prefectures in Jiangzhou, three were the most severely affected, with even their capital cities being flooded.

The rain had stopped, the floodwaters were receding, and the village was covered in a thick layer of mud, making it almost impossible to see any living things.

As soon as Zhao Su arrived in Jiangzhou, he was extremely busy.

They arranged for people to dredge waterways, treat the injured, resettle displaced people, distribute food, prevent epidemics, and rebuild houses...

Yin Cheng couldn't help with anything; the only thing he could do was to scare those useless officials who didn't do any real work with a cold face.

After working non-stop for several days, Zhao Su fell ill.

Fortunately, his prior arrangements were very meticulous, and the disaster relief efforts proceeded in an orderly manner.

Yin Cheng felt that Zhao Su's illness was not quite right. According to the doctor, the illness was neither like a cold nor a fever, but she had a persistent high fever, was delirious, and even talked nonsense.

The imperial physicians from the capital couldn't diagnose the problem, nor could the local doctors.

Even after taking the medication, Zhao Su's high fever persisted, and she showed signs of falling into a coma.

Yin Cheng was worried that if Zhao Su's high fever didn't subside, she would be brainwashed even if she didn't die, so he inquired everywhere about where there was a skilled doctor.

It was a person living in a small village on the border of Jiangzhou who told Yin Cheng that the Lord of Baishui City was unparalleled in medicine and poison, and might be able to save people.

He had originally planned to deliver the message to Baishui City after the disaster situation stabilized, but now he had to do it earlier. After leaving one guard to protect Zhao Su, he immediately set off for Baishui City.

Baishui City is located deep in the mountains and forests, surrounded by miasma and poisonous plants all year round.

Yin Cheng used his light-footed skills to wander through the forest all night before finally finding the location of Baishui City at dawn the next day.

He had noticed that someone was watching him the moment he entered Whitewater City, and several venomous snakes were coiled on the roof beams, flicking their tongues.

Yin Cheng cleared his throat. "Gentlemen, my name is Yin Cheng, and I'm here to deliver a message."

From the corner, a child who deliberately spoke in a gruff voice replied, "Delivering a letter, huh? Wait here!"

Yin Cheng and the others remained where they were.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out and shouted, "Come out, everyone! This is the city lord's guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people emerged from the surrounding houses, including young men and boys; there were more than thirty people in total.

Yin Cheng was shocked. He had thought there were only a few people, but it seemed that he had only noticed these young children. The other adults were so well concealed that even he could not detect their breaths.

It seems that this Baishui City is truly a place where hidden talents abound.

Following the middle-aged man into the palace, he said, "Lord, he's here."

The Lord of Baishui City stood with his hands behind his back. "Deliver a message?"

"Yes." Yin Cheng took out the letter, and the middle-aged man was about to take it, but he avoided it.

"I want to deliver this letter to you personally," Yin Cheng said. "The person who wrote this letter to you personally instructed me to do so."

The Lord of Baishui City turned around and strode towards him, extending his hand. "Give it to me."

Yin Cheng narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back. "How can you prove you're the Lord of Baishui City?"

The Lord of Baishui City said, "This letter was given to me by Yin Mo, wasn't it?"
