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

Lin Ling wasn't the only one troubled by emotional issues; Bai Mao was too.

However, Bai Mao had no relatives or friends in this place, and the only person he knew was a single person.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Duo and Pearl had just coaxed Xiao Xiu'er to sleep when they heard someone knocking on the window.

Zhao Duo sighed silently.

Pearl asked, "Who is it?"

"Uren".

Pearl asked, puzzled, "What does he want with you?"

"I don't know, I'll go check." Zhao Duo kissed Pearl. "Go to sleep early, don't wait for me."

Pearl nodded. "Be quiet, don't wake Xiu'er."

The little bundle of flesh, who couldn't even roll over yet, was fast asleep in the crib, her round face perfectly inheriting Pearl's childhood nickname.

Zhao Duo, his face cold, flipped over and leaped onto the roof ridge. "What is it?"

Wu Ren said, "A little."

Zhao Duo sighed, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Wu Renzheng replied honestly, "I'm busy during the day."

I have to help the little idiot guard the shop; I'm very busy.

"Speak, what is it?"

Wu Ren asked, "What do I need to do to make Lin Ling like me?"

Zhao Duo's expression became very complicated.

Uru: "What kind of expression is that?!"

Zhao Duo: "In the Central Plains, we guys usually call someone who peeks at others taking a bath a lecherous scoundrel."

"I'll say it again, I didn't peep at him while he was showering. I didn't know that room was his bathroom," Wu Ren said. "So what's the connection between these two things?"

Zhao Duo said, "We young men from the Central Plains don't have the habit of liking lecherous men."

Wu Ren's lips twitched. "I've already apologized to him."

"So? Has he forgiven you?"

Uren hesitated for a moment, "Shouldn't you... forgive him?"

Zhao Duo looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"What do I need to do to make him forgive me?"

"Why don't you kneel down and see what happens?" Zhao Duo said casually.

Wu Ren thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I understand."

"Wait..." Before the words "I was just kidding" were even out of his mouth, Wu Ren had already run off.

Zhao Duo: "..." Fine, he bullied Lingling first, so kneeling down is fine too.

On the other side, Su Han and Lin Ling whispered to each other for half an hour before Lin Ling finally returned to her room, satisfied.

Su Han yawned as he returned to his room. Lin Wu was still awake, lighting a lamp and wiping his halberd.

"Husband, are you still awake?"

Lin Wu said, "I'm waiting for you."

After washing up with the help of a servant, Su Han climbed into bed, covered herself with a small quilt, and prepared to go to sleep.

Lin Wu put down his weapon and followed him onto the bed.

He hugged his husband from behind and asked, "Honey, what are you talking about with our son for so long?"

Su Han said, "These are just whispers among the young masters; your husbands wouldn't want to hear them."

"I'd love to hear it, tell me about it."

"Lingling said that Wuren would protect him, play with him, and be very good to him. She also took good care of him and trusted him... and so on."

Lin Wu immediately lost interest; sure enough, the whispers in the young master's house were not pleasant to hear at all.

"Actually, I think Wu Ren also likes our Lingling."

Lin Wu scoffed lightly, his expression clearly conveying his disdain for Wu Ren.

"There are plenty of suitors who like Lingling, who does he think he is?"

"My husband!"

Hearing the reproach in her husband's voice, Lin Wu immediately became obedient, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Nestled in the warm bed, Su Han was completely exhausted and mumbled sleepily, "If he doesn't like Lingling, why does he stay by her side?"

This world is vast; if he didn't love Lingling, why would he be confined to this small Lingxiu Pavilion?

"That makes sense," Lin Wu said. "But I also think it's possible he's after our family's money, just like Fang Yun did before."

Su Han: "..." How much money could our family possibly have!

Lin Wu's salary was not low, but he never thought about saving money when he was young. He always practiced spending his monthly salary as soon as it was paid, and he lived a very comfortable life.

The Lin family had not yet separated, and before he got married, he could shamelessly ask his family for money.

Especially when asking his second brother for money, his actions were so natural and practiced, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

It was only after getting married and having a husband that he gradually developed a sense of responsibility, realizing that he needed to be able to stand on his own two feet and be a man his husband could rely on.

So he handed over all his salary to Su Han to manage, and the family gradually accumulated wealth.

In addition, Lin Wuchang had military merits and received many rewards, so his family was not short of money.

Although they are not short of money, they have no other way to make a living.

Besides doing some embroidery, Su Han had no other skills and didn't know how to run a shop and make money.

In addition, he was used to being frugal, so even if he had several thousand taels of silver at his disposal, he dared not spend it recklessly.

Firstly, she was afraid that her husband, who had grown up in luxury, would suffer hardship; secondly, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to provide Lingling with a decent dowry in the future.

Although he came from a poor background, he knew what a young man's dowry represented.

He had been caught in the rain, so he didn't want his children to get wet too.

"Honey, after thinking it over, I still feel that the white-haired guy is not good enough for our Lingling," Lin Wu said. "Besides, he's an outsider. I don't want to have to travel thousands of miles on foot just to see Lingling in the future."

To be honest, what's the difference between this and exile?

Su Han thought to herself, this must be why men are so opposed to Lingling and Bai Mao...

"But Pearl also traveled a long way to marry Xin Hui," Su Han said. "Pearl is very happy now."

"How can that be the same!" Lin Wu immediately retorted. "With Pearl married into the family, and both Lao Si and I here, who would dare to bully him?"

"Besides, the reason why Five Poison Fortress opened a separate county town is because His Majesty cherishes Pearl and is afraid that Pearl will be wronged."

"Why did Yin Cheng propose building roads nationwide? Does he seem like the kind of person who cares about the country and its people?"

"To put it bluntly, it's all about pearls."

"If our Lingling really marries Bai Mao, it won't just be marrying someone from far away, it will be marrying someone from the heart of the desert. Not to mention the Tengshe Kingdom, it's a poor and remote place, even if Nian Ge'er were to travel from Caixia City, it would take him half a month to get there."

"If Bai Mao bullies Lingling, who should Lingling turn to for help?"

"What if something happens to Lingling..."

Su Han felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

He used to think that Lingling's preferences were the most important thing, and that as long as Lingling was happy, everything could be overcome.

But after the man said that, he immediately sobered up.

"Yes, yes...yes, my husband, Lingling can't marry so far away," Su Han said. "We only have Lingling as our baby, and nothing can happen to her."

Lin Wu kissed her husband. "I was thinking a bit too far ahead. Sorry, baby, I scared you."

Su Han shook her head. The things the man mentioned were all very real issues, and it would never be wrong to plan ahead.

Su Han didn't want Lingling to be sad, and neither did Lin Wu, so Lin Wu thought about it for half the night and decided that if Bai Mao really wanted to be with Lingling, it wasn't impossible.

He married into the family and became a son-in-law.
