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

Yin Cheng was speechless. "Can I beat him up?"

"How dare you!" Lin Nian glared at him. "You've corrupted Yuanbao."

Yin Cheng: "...I'm innocent, wife! I really didn't teach him how to catch longhorn beetles."

Lin Nian: I'm exhausted, I don't want to talk.

"I missed kissing you just now, let me give you a kiss."

Lin Nian was pouting, preparing to give the man a perfunctory kiss, when suddenly the door was opened again.

Lin Nian froze, wishing she could shrink into the man's arms and hide herself away.

"Daddy!" Pearl ran in, just about to ask about Atuya, but saw the two fathers being all lovey-dovey.

He quietly left the room and considerately closed the door.

Yin Cheng sighed and wanted to kiss his wife, but the two little brats seemed to have planned it, and took turns kissing her.

The couple looked at each other and then sighed simultaneously.

That evening, Pearl ran over and pulled her father into the garden, whispering, "Daddy."

Yin Cheng: "Hmm?"

Pearl lurked furtively, "Is nobody around?"

"No." Yin Cheng paused. "Is your brother even considered a person?"

Pearl: "..." What kind of question is this!

Pearl shouted, "Yuanbao, go away!"

Yuanbao pouted and walked back while thinking, wondering what kind of secret it was that even his own younger brother wouldn't tell him!

I'm angry. I'll go to the kitchen and eat a chicken leg to calm down.

After Yuanbao left, Pearl asked softly, "Daddy, Atuya...?"

Yin Cheng nodded, "Me."

Pearl's two beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed together. "Father, let's hurry back to the capital. What if they find out..."

Yin Cheng pinched the little boy's round face. As the little boy grew older, his baby fat had almost disappeared, and his pointed chin was exactly the same as his father's.

Yin Cheng once thought his son was just getting thin from hunger, and he wanted to feed him ten or eight meals a day. Later he realized that his son had just grown up and gotten bigger...

"They won't be able to find it, don't worry."

Pearl was far from at ease, fearing that Atu's family would come and cast a spell on her father.

"Father, are you hurt?"

"no."

"That's good," Pearl said. "Father, you can't be so impulsive next time. Their Miao witchcraft is so potent..."

Pearl kept chattering away, but before she could finish, her father pinched her cheek, forcing her to shut up.

Pearl stamped her foot, "Daddy!"

"Alright, alright, Father understands." Yin Cheng muttered to himself, his little brat is really starting to resemble his wife more and more.

Pearl hugged Yin Cheng's arm and suddenly said, "Father, thank you."

They've always protected me.

Pearl thought to herself.

"Hmm?" Yin Cheng ruffled his son's hair. "Are you being affectionate?"

"Daddy's the best!" Pearl made a small heart shape with two interlaced fingers for her dad. "Love you."

This kid's chat range is quite wide.

Yin Cheng said, "Don't play with that idiot Si Zhaozhao anymore. What kind of teaching does she have?"

"Oops." Pearl made a face. "I'm going to sleep now, goodnight Daddy."

Yin Cheng couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the snow-white fluffy flower dart into his room.

It seems that it's not just my wife who has changed; our little one has grown up without us even realizing it.

Because the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is thousands of feet deep and full of corpses, no one has discovered it for a while, so the news of Atuya's death has not yet spread.

Atuyan sent people to the nearby county town, but still found nothing. Half a month later, the search for the person subsided.

It is said that Atuyan had about ten children. The reason he valued Atuya so much was that he wanted to marry her off to Xinhui and extend his reach to the Atuya family.

Unfortunately, Atuya is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead, and with Xin Hui's insistence on marrying Princess Zhaoren, his wishful thinking ultimately failed.

Two days later, the imperial envoy carrying the imperial edict arrived.

Along with Su Han's investiture as a first-rank imperial consort, there was also an imperial edict.

The Five Poisons Fortress was officially renamed Five Spirits County and became part of the fiefdom of Princess Zhaoren.

Pearl was shocked when she received the imperial decree; she never expected that her uncle would give her the Five Poison Fortress directly.

This means that he will also receive a share of the Five Poisons Fortress's annual tax revenue from now on...

Yin Cheng was equally shocked. "No, the princess really owns a county?"

Lin Nian sighed, "So you guess why the princess is called princess? And when Pearl was added to the family genealogy, didn't you see the jade slip? Tonghua County in Yuezhou is also Pearl's fiefdom."

Yin Cheng asked, "Then why wasn't there any fiefdom granted to Huayue back then?"

"Who says there isn't? Huayue's fief is in Shuyu County, Yunzhou."

Yin Cheng: "Then I...?"

Lin Nianbai glanced at him, "Isn't Caixia City yours? Every year, the tax revenue from Caixia City is kept for your own use. It's generally used for the expenses of the Northern Border Army, as well as various defense facilities, people's livelihood, and so on."

Yin Cheng really doesn't pay attention to these things. Lan Shu used to handle them, but now Lan Shu is running around in the northwest and south, so the job naturally falls to Lin Niantou.

Yin Cheng suddenly realized.

Lan Shu teased Lin Wu, "Xiao Han's rank is much higher than yours now. Let's see if you dare to bully him again."

Lin Wu put his arm around Su Han, who was completely stunned, and said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, it seems I'll be the one to get a free meal first."

Lin Si was speechless. "Does this even have to be a competition?"

Lin Wu said, "Of course."

Lin Si didn't bother to pay him any attention.

At the same time, Zhao Lang also received an imperial edict, ordering him to rename Wudu Fortress to Wuling County, effective immediately.

Pearl knew that her uncle had designated Five Poison Fortress as his fiefdom so that she would not be bullied by her husband's family after she married into the southwest.

It gives him confidence.

But when the story reached the scholar's ears, it took on a completely different meaning.

Some say that the emperor wanted to use Princess Zhaoren to take the opportunity to recover the southern border and let the Han people completely take power.

Some say this was the emperor testing the Southwest Army.

In short, there are many different opinions, and all sorts of things are said.

According to the rules, Pearl was allowed to build a princess's mansion in Wuling County, but her family was about to return to the capital.

Therefore, Pearl entrusted Zhao Duo with the important task of building the Princess's Mansion and drew up the blueprints overnight.

From a very young age, he had been learning to draw all sorts of patterns from his father.

Now he is quite adept at drawing houses and buildings.

After the stone plaque of Wuling County was hung on the four city walls, Pearl was also going back to the capital.

Zhao Duo was extremely reluctant to part with her, and Pearl wasn't much better off.

"Will you come to see me?" Pearl asked.

Zhao Duo replied, "Yes."

"Will you come for my coming-of-age ceremony?"

"meeting."

Pearl pursed her lips. "Then...then I'll be going."

"Have a safe journey, my dear."

"Uh-huh!"

Yin Cheng felt a pang of jealousy while sitting in the carriage not far away. He wondered what was so good about that blond-haired guy that he had his rich, beautiful, and somewhat foolish daughter completely bewitched.

"It's like they've cast a spell on my little pearl."

Lin Nian was both amused and exasperated. "Xin Hui would never do that."
