After reading the letter, the Lord of Baishui City remained silent for a long time. He then lit the letter, and flames engulfed the plain white paper before quickly burning it to ashes.

He remained silent for a long time before saying, "Okay, I agree."

On the surface, Yin Cheng remained calm as a rock, but inside he was panicking. What had he agreed to? His brother hadn't explained this at all!

Is this any way to go? He's supposed to be the emperor of a country, yet he's so unreliable.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the capital's imperial palace, the emperor sneezed.

The young eunuch quickly draped a robe over the emperor.

The emperor rubbed his nose, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

However, the emperor was busy with countless affairs of state and had no time to dwell on such trivial matters. He quickly threw himself into his official duties.

Inside the palace in Baishui City, Yin Cheng, completely unaware of the letter's contents, calmly asked, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"Let's go," said the Lord of Baishui City. "I'm willing to work for Xiao Mo."

Yin Cheng's doubts gradually turned into shock.

His pupils dilated in shock! What's going on?!

When did these two become so close?

The Lord of Baishui City asked casually, "How has he been lately?"

"That's good." Yin Cheng's brain was practically spinning. His brother was really something, he couldn't even explain things clearly.

Rebellion! Go back and rebel!

Seeing that Yin Cheng was very kind, the Lord of Baishui City said, "My name is Bai Yuchen, and I am a few years older than you. You can also call me elder brother."

Under that loving gaze, Yin Cheng shamelessly said, "Then I'll have to rely on Brother Bai."

Bai Yuchen nodded slightly. "No problem."

"Brother Bai, if I may ask, do you have any skilled doctors here who can treat difficult and complicated diseases?"

Bai Yuchen said, "That is me."

Yin Cheng gasped and grabbed Bai Yuchen, rushing towards Jiangzhou.

He could wait, but Zhao Su, who was almost driven mad by the fever, couldn't.

Bai Yuchen's medical skills were superb; by the third day, Zhao Su was already able to jump and hop around.

When Zhao Su learned that the doctor had been found by Yin Cheng, she was immediately moved to tears and wished she could write a poem to express her gratitude.

After curing Zhao Su, Bai Yuchen did not leave, but instead treated the wounded in Jiangzhou and participated in post-disaster reconstruction.

Yin Cheng guessed that this might be the matter that his brother had entrusted to Bai Yuchen.

Since his brother trusted Bai Yuchen, he had no reason to doubt the man's motives. Furthermore, Bai Yuchen's tireless efforts in saving people these past few days had gradually earned him some respect for the Lord of Baishui City.

Jiangzhou is rich in mountain delicacies and fresh fish. Whenever he had free time, Yin Cheng would buy some smoked fish and dried mushrooms and send them back to his little darling in the capital.

Hua Yue, familiar with the place, took the box from the guard and happily ran to the kitchen to ask someone to make soup for Lin Nian.

While the Lin family was enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, the Prince Yiyang's residence was shrouded in gloom.

Yin Shun had never suffered such a loss in his life; it was a complete loss.

He gave away 50,000 silver notes, and not only did he not get to sleep with the beautiful girl he had been longing for, he also almost lost his life!

He dared not tell anyone about it and could only sulk in silence.

Even though Yin Cheng had already left the capital, Yin Shun still cautiously hid in his residence for more than half a month.

These days, he has vented all his resentment on Lin Nian.

If Lin Nian hadn't been so ungrateful, he wouldn't have bothered with all this trouble.

Unable to harm Lin Nian, he vented his anger on the servants. These days, all the servants serving in the young master's room were trembling with fear, afraid that they might say something wrong and anger the young master.

"Damn Lin Nian, once I get you, I'll defile you every single day!"

One of the servants who served him was quick-witted. Seeing that the young master still couldn't forget Lin Nian, he came up with an idea.

The servant said, "Young Master, after all these incidents, Lin Nian must have come to hate you long ago. How could she possibly be willing to marry you?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Shun immediately kicked the servant to the ground, yelling, "You damned dog, how dare you mock this young master!"

The servant, his body aching from the kicks, scrambled to his feet, a fawning smile plastered on his face. "How dare I! Young Master, please calm your anger. I have a plan that will guarantee your wish comes true!"

Tell me about it.

"He is now a virgin, so naturally he has the right to be proud," the servant said. "If the world knew that his virginity had been taken by you, young master, then he would have no choice but to marry you."

Thinking of Lin Nian's body, Yin Shun was instantly enraged. "That damned Diao Tong! If it weren't for him, I would have slept with this beauty long ago!"

"Young Master, it doesn't matter whether you actually slept with him or not. The important thing is to make everyone think that you did."

Yin Shun stroked his chin. "That's interesting. Tell me more."

"We have Lin Nian's handkerchief. I saw it before; it's embroidered with Lin Nian's maiden name," the servant said. "If you bring the handkerchief to propose marriage, with a token of betrothal, why would the Lin family refuse?"

Yin Shun suddenly understood, "Yeah! You're so smart, kid."

He laughed heartily, "I never expected that lowly servant Diao Tong would do something so good."

The servant covered the spot where he had been beaten, and smiled coldly where Yin Shun couldn't see him.

Yin Shun, I'm waiting to see your retribution!

The Lin family is not what it used to be. Lin San has become the top scholar in the imperial examination and is currently enjoying the emperor's favor. If we were to use a scheme now, and Lin San were to hold a grudge, the Yiyang Prince's Mansion would find it difficult to move an inch among the Qingliu faction in the future.

He wanted to laugh out loud, as if he could see the end of the Yiyang Prince's Mansion.

Yin Shun's biological father died early, and his second wife, Liu, intentionally indulged him and never interfered in his affairs.

Therefore, when Yin Shunlai asked him to come and propose marriage, he agreed without hesitation.

Yin Shun was a young man, so naturally he didn't know what was happening in his friends' circle. Now everyone knew that the youngest son of the Lin family had taken a liking to Prince Cheng.

Yin Shun's attempt to snatch the man from Prince Cheng was undoubtedly asking for trouble.

The Liu family was pleased with the outcome.

He also has a son who is only five years old. With his older brother Yin Shun above him, the title of Prince Yiyang will not fall to his son.

If Yin Shun falls, it will only benefit him.

Liu put on a good show, hiring a matchmaker on the same day and taking Yin Shun to the Lin residence to propose marriage the next day.

When Xiao Fu went to the kitchen to get some snacks, she heard a servant say that Yin Shun had come to the mansion and wanted to ask for the young master's hand in marriage.

He was so frightened that he forgot to eat his snacks and rushed back to tell the young master the news.

Lin Nianzai taught Huayue to read poetry and cultivate her character.

"Young master! Young master, something terrible has happened! A villain has come to our manor!"

Lin Nian asked, "Who's here?"

After catching his breath, Xiao Fu quickly said, "That scoundrel Yin Shun!"

Lin Nian was startled and abruptly stood up. "Why is he here?"

"I heard them say they've come to propose marriage..."

Before Xiao Fu could finish speaking, Hua Yue smashed the rosewood table with a punch. "That Yin Shun, he's like a persistent ghost! Let's see how I deal with him!"

The case was at least three feet thick, and it was shattered by a twelve-year-old boy with a single punch. Lin Nian's first reaction wasn't surprise, but concern for Hua Yue's hand: "Why were you so reckless? Did you hurt yourself?"

Hua Yue shook her head, her fair face puffed up with anger.

Lin Nian wondered if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the "blessing mark" on Hua Yue's forehead was sometimes bright and sometimes faint.

The "fortune mark" on a young man's forehead is related to fertility; the darker the color, the easier it is to conceive, and vice versa.

He had never seen any young man's lucky seal change color.
