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

The journey from the Lin residence to Lingxiu Pavilion was short; even if Lin Ling wanted to walk slowly, she could still finish the journey quickly.

The two remained silent, neither speaking first.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Lingxiu Pavilion, Wu Ren finally spoke, saying, "We're here, let's go in."

Lin Ling reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes. "Don't go yet. I... I have something for you."

He hurriedly ran to the counter, and when he came out, he had a tassel tied with a small, hollowed-out peace charm in his hand.

"What is this?" Wu Ren asked.

Lin Ling tilted her head slightly. "It's just a regular tassel that can be tied to a weapon."

Wu Ren took the curved sword from his waist and handed it to him, saying, "Help me fasten it."

Lin Ling pursed her lips and quickly tied the tassel to the man's weapon.

The red rope is tied into a knot, with a small jade plaque carved with openwork patterns wrapped around it.

Wu Ren stroked the small jade pendant, thinking to himself that the people of the Central Plains valued reciprocity.

He should return the courtesy.

But he didn't have much to give Lin Ling, except for a bracelet adorned with rubies.

The Kingdom of Tengshe is rich in gemstones, and the entire tribe is obsessed with them.

Therefore, both young men and young ladies would wear many dazzling gemstone ornaments.

In the land of Tengshe, there is another custom: when a newborn is born, the elders of the family will personally select gemstones and make ornaments to give to the newborn as a blessing.

Uren was initially unaware of this custom.

He was an orphan, and from the time he could remember, he was always accompanied by a large, crimson snake.

This bracelet was made by a gem merchant in the city when he came of age.

The gem merchant simply assumed that he wanted to make jewelry for his husband and did not consider that it might be a blessing ornament.

By a twist of fate, this bracelet came into being.

The rubies adorning the bracelet were all sourced by Wu Ren himself; they are of excellent quality, each one shimmering with a beautiful and vibrant luster.

This was Wu Ren's own prayer for himself, and now he is passing it on to Lin Ling.

"Give me your hand," Uren said.

Lin Ling obediently handed over her wrist.

Wu Ren's movements were not exactly gentle, but he was very careful, and even a little clumsy.

His expression was very serious, as if he were dealing with some precious treasure.

The bracelet was quickly placed on Lin Ling's wrist.

The young man's skin was already fair, and the ruby ​​on his slender white wrist created a striking contrast.

It's not abrupt; it possesses an indescribable beauty.

Lin Ling raised her wrist and examined it carefully, marveling at the gem's brilliance.

He looked up, about to say something, when he realized that Wu Ren had already walked away.

His figure gradually faded into the dim light of dawn. Lin Ling stared blankly until the man's figure disappeared from sight at the end of the long street.

Wu Ren is gone.

Lin Ling didn't feel sad, just a sour and bitter feeling in her heart.

There was reluctance, but even more so, there were unknown emotions that he himself could not accurately discern.

His life hadn't changed much. When he didn't feel like going to the shop, he would just space out, go shopping, or meet up with a few close friends to go out and have fun.

Nothing has changed, yet it feels like everything has changed.

Apart from the ruby ​​bracelet on his wrist, all traces of Wu Ren have disappeared.

Even his personal recliner in the shop was taken over by Xichun.

Lin Ling didn't know if he would ever come back.

Spring comes and autumn goes.

The sycamore trees in front of the courtyard turned green and then yellow.

Fourth Uncle and Bei Zhen returned from the northern border.

Pearl's baby is about to be born.

Lin Ling did not get to see Wu Ren return.

Snow is rare in the southwest, especially in Wuling County, where winter rain is always drizzling.

Lin Ling dislikes winter, and if it rains, she is even less inclined to go out.

As the owner of Lingxiu Pavilion, Lin Ling would stubbornly refuse to open the shop on rainy days.

He was sitting by the window in a daze when he heard Chunxi say that someone had come to propose marriage.

Since he came of age, he has received a steady stream of marriage proposals.

Although he rejected some people of questionable character, there were a few hidden gems who greatly pleased Su Han.

However, Su Han would ask Lin Ling's opinion beforehand, and if Lin Ling was unwilling, the matter would be dropped.

Just like today, Lin Ling showed little interest in the young and talented man who came to propose marriage; she neither expressed satisfaction nor dissatisfaction.

When asked, she said she had no plans to get married yet.

Su Han had no choice but to send the person away.

Although he was concerned about his son's marriage, he also fully respected Lin Ling's own wishes.

Su Han's thoughts on this were very simple.

If he can marry a man like Lin Wu, then my own good boy will definitely marry even better.

Su Han wasn't in a hurry, and Lin Wu was even less in a hurry.

He'd love for his good boy to never get married; he'd support him.

Lin Ling was also confused. She didn't know what kind of husband she would marry in the future. She just unconsciously rubbed the ruby ​​on her wrist.

At the time, he didn't know that some things might have been preordained from the very beginning.

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

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Xiu, the third generation to be showered with love and affection, was born.

Lin Ling had embroidered a tiger-head hat for Xiao Xiu'er well in advance, fearing that the little baby wouldn't like it, so he embroidered several colors in one go.

The baby is still too young to receive his uncle's heartfelt gift.

Zhao Xiu also has his own family name, Atuna Yizhou.

On the day Xiaoxiu'er turned one month old, when Zhenzhu appeared in the main hall carrying him, the whole family gathered around.

This is a very comprehensive family-friendly place.

Besides Yin Cheng, Lin Nian, and Yuan Bao, everyone in the Lin family, from Ye Qingyu to the young master of Zhi Shan's family, came.

The Crown Prince was overseeing the country, and Yin Mo also brought Lord Bai to the banquet.

Because Pearl had planned this all along, she had sent letters to every relative in the family several months in advance.

Such a joyous occasion deserves a lively celebration.

For Xiao Xiu'er's full moon celebration, the whole family must share in the joy.

Yin Cheng's arrow wounds had not fully healed, so he was deprived of the right to hold Xiao Xiu'er.

Yin Cheng looked on longingly, pleading, "Let me hug you, let me hug you, let me hug you..."

Lin Nian forcibly muted her husband's microphone, saying, "You stay put."

Normally, given a man's physical condition, he would fully recover in two or three months.

It's just that the Holy Church has been causing frequent disturbances, adding new wounds to old ones, which is why it has dragged on until now.

Yin Chengsheng had no will to live.

Pearl suppressed a laugh and, taking advantage of her father's inattention, whispered to him, "Tomorrow I'll sneak out to play with Xiaoxiu'er."

Yin Cheng was finally satisfied.

The more he looked at Xiaoxiu'er, the more he liked her.

The little chubby little thing is so cute.

Lin Siheng shouted at the top of her lungs from outside, "Have the people inside finished watching? Isn't it our turn now?"

Jiang Xiao was speechless. "The baby won't run away."

Lin Siheng argued confidently, "How can that be the same? Xiao Xiu'er is awake now, so I can still play with her. She might fall asleep soon, and I can't exactly wake her up by pinching her, can I?"

Jiang Xiao silently turned her head away, deciding not to recognize him at this moment.

Lin Ling, who was naturally quiet, was also watching quietly in the corner, a smile appearing on her face that she hadn't shown in a long time.
