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

In Caixia City, there is one person you absolutely must not mess with.

Offending him is tantamount to offending the entire Northern Army.

That is Yin Zhiwei, the eldest son of the current Grand Marshal of the Army.

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

The messenger arrived at the Marshal's Mansion at top speed, "Princess, a letter from the southwest."

"Give me the letter." A young servant took the letter from the messenger and ran up to the attic. "Young master, your letter."

The attic was filled with mechanical devices and ironwork, and a young boy with messy hair was fiddling with the intricate parts. He sat casually on the floor, his clothes filthy, but his dark eyes shone with an astonishing light.

He pursed his lips, staring seriously at a pile of gears of various sizes in front of him, muttering something about incorrect data.

Xiao Li raised her voice, "Young Master! 'Someone' from the Southwest has written you a letter!"

The boy looked up, paused, and a smile unconsciously spread across his face. "Let me see."

The boy had rosy lips and white teeth, and his eyes curved beautifully when he smiled.

This young man was none other than Pearl.

Pearl didn't even bother to wipe her hands clean before taking the letter and reading it.

After a long pause, he threw down the letter, pursed his lips, and said, "Another training exercise? Why does their family elder always target him?"

Xiao Li silently picked up the letter and placed it on the table. She knew her young master's temperament best; if he threw it away now, he would definitely pick it up later.

Pearl grew angrier the more she thought about it.

In the past, no matter how busy "someone" was, he would come to see him in advance for his birthday and spend the birthday with him.

But in the last two years, that person has become increasingly busy, and not only have he sent fewer letters, but now he doesn't even come to celebrate my birthday anymore.

Moreover, this year is not just an ordinary birthday, but also his coming-of-age ceremony!

He didn't even come for such an important event! I'm so angry!

This young man only has one coming-of-age ceremony in his life, and he dared to skip it!

"Little Pear, grind the ink. I'm going to write a letter and curse him to death."

Pearl wrote more than ten pages, filling the envelope to bursting.

"By the way, young master," Xiao Li said, "the lord has asked a painter to paint your portrait. The painter should be arriving in the next couple of days."

"Why are you painting my portrait?" Pearl asked, puzzled.

Xiao Li said, "I guess they'll send you back to the capital. Lord Lin must miss you terribly."

Pearl thought it made sense and handed the envelope to Xiaoli to take to the post station. He then tidied up the scattered parts, hastily wiped the dirt off his face, and went downstairs.

"Yin Feichi, you stop right there!" Lin Nian grabbed a feather duster and chased after a young boy. "You've gotten quite bold, daring to gamble at the casino."

Yin Feichi jumped around excitedly; the twelve-year-old boy was at a lively and cheerful age. "Daddy! I'm going to investigate a case!"

"So you've learned to lie, huh! What kind of case are you investigating, you little brat? Stop right there! I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Is that a place for someone your age to go?!"

Yin Feichi retorted indignantly, "Why can't I go! Even Dad is going!"

"Stop right there!"

"I'll stop standing there if you don't hit me."

"Try dodging one more time?" Lin Nian was panting heavily. This kid had been learning martial arts for a few years, and although he was not as good as a man, he was already quite skilled. He could easily scale walls and roofs.

Yin Feichi saw his brother around the corner and quickly hid behind Pearl. "Brother, help me! Dad's going to beat me up!"

For some reason, Pearl felt that this scene was very familiar, and the feeling of déjà vu grew stronger and stronger.

It seems there have been other cases of people being chased and beaten like this before...

"Little Daddy, what's wrong?" Pearl asked.

Lin Nian took a deep breath. "Let him say it himself."

Yin Feichi stammered.

Pearl immediately understood. He flicked his younger brother on the forehead and said, "Behave yourself."

Yin Feichi covered his head and said, "Oh."

Pearl skillfully linked arms with her young father-in-law and walked towards the main room. "Young father-in-law, calm down. There's no need to get angry with that stupid Yuanbao."

As he spoke, he winked at Yin Feichi.

Yin Feichi quickly said, "Uncle, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time."

"Little Daddy, does your hand hurt? Let me massage it for you." Pearl's little mouth was as sweet as honey. "Your health is more important. Let me help you back to your room to rest."

Lin Nian was momentarily rendered speechless by Zhenzhu's sweet words. He glared at his youngest son and said fiercely, "Fine, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, I'll have your father come and beat you up himself."

"Yes, yes, I promise I won't do it again." Yin Feichi had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to slip away when suddenly someone grabbed him by the back of the neck.

Yin Feichi sensed a dangerous yet familiar presence behind him. He stiffly turned his head and, sure enough, met his father's gaze.

"...Father." Yin Feichi covered his face, "Don't hit my face."

On his way back, Yin Cheng had already heard from his subordinates that Yin Feichi was going through a phase of youthful exuberance and was full of enthusiasm.

He and his buddies heard that a petty thief had appeared in the city a few days ago, and these kids felt that as the rising stars of Caixia City, it was time for them to take action.

So these past two days they've been searching everywhere for clues about that little thief.

This wasn't inherently a bad thing, but the problem lies in the fact that these children are still young, and going to those shady places inevitably carries some danger.

After his wife and Pearl came inside, Yin Cheng asked, "Do you know what you did wrong today?"

Yin Feichi answered honestly, "I shouldn't have angered my father."

"The mistake is having the ability to cause trouble, but not the ability to clean up the mess," Yin Cheng said. "It's not a skill to sneak in; the real skill is to get out unscathed."

Yin Feichi seemed to understand, but not quite.

But that didn't stop him from giving his dad a thumbs up, "Dad, you're amazing!"

Yin Cheng raised an eyebrow, rarely praising his son, "You're not bad either."

Inside the house, the father and son sat hand in hand on a soft couch. Lin Nian said, "By the way, my dear son, your father and I have discussed it. How about we hold your coming-of-age ceremony back in the capital?"

Pearl asked, puzzled, "Why are we going back to the capital to hold this? Did the Emperor summon Father back to the capital?"

Lin Nian pinched Pearl's cheek and said, "Of course, it's to announce to the world that our family has a son who has grown up."

Pearl's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood. His face fell. "Little Father, you don't mean to think I'll get married off as soon as I come of age, do you?"

Lin Nian chuckled, "How could that be? Even if you were willing, your father and I wouldn't agree."

"Hehe, I knew you'd miss me, Daddy." Pearl said sweetly to her daddy, "I want to stay with you guys for a while longer."

Lin Nian was all smiles as Xiao Tanggao coaxed her. "You little rascal, you've picked up all of your dad's unreliable ways."
