A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?" When Xiao Yi came back, he saw Lin Qinghuan still lying on the couch reading a book.

"Why do you come back so late these days?" Lin Qinghuan asked after closing the book.

"You don't have to wait for me. Just rest if you're tired." Xiao Yi walked over and helped Lin Qinghuan up and said.

When Lin Qinghuan smelled the fragrance of powder on Xiao Yi, she knew that she had gone to Le Yin Fang.

"When will my husband take me to listen to music again?" Lin Qinghuan asked deliberately.

"You can go anytime you want." Xiao Yi said.

"Then call Sister Wan over in a few days. She has always wanted to go there to see what's going on." Lin Qinghuan said.

"It's all up to you."

"Let them help you wash up. I'm going to sleep first." Lin Qinghuan felt that Xiao Yi was not as gentle to her as before, so she felt a little depressed and went straight to the bed.

Xiao Yi stood there looking at Lin Qinghuan's back and frowned unconsciously.

"Huan'er." Xiao Yi stepped forward, took Lin Qinghuan's arm and called softly.

Lin Qinghuan lowered her head, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

"Huan'er, these past few days..." Xiao Yi approached Lin Qinghuan and lifted the woman's face. "Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing, my eyes are just a little dry." Lin Qinghuan wiped her tears and said in a low voice.

"Are you still angry with me because of Nan'er?" Xiao Yi reached out and wiped Lin Qinghuan's tears and asked softly.

"What about my husband? Why have you ignored me these days?" Lin Qinghuan looked up at the familiar face and asked back.

"I...how could I ignore you?" Xiao Yi said.

"Is it because of what I said about sympathizing with Nan'er? It makes you feel uncomfortable?" Lin Qinghuan looked straight at Xiao Yi and asked.

"Huan'er, you think too much. I didn't do that. I've just been too busy lately." Xiao Yi patted Lin Qinghuan's face and said.

Lin Qinghuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Perhaps he didn't care that much about his previous thoughts and just thought he was being too sentimental.

"Well, that's good. Is there anything else, my husband?" Lin Qinghuan asked with a forced smile.

"It's okay, you should rest first." Xiao Yi let go of Lin Qinghuan's arm. She felt a little caught off guard.

"Yeah." Lin Qinghuan lowered his head and walked behind the screen.

Lin Qinghuan saw Xiao Yi's figure behind the screen stop for a while and then go towards the front hall, so he crawled into bed feeling tired.

The next morning, Lin Qinghuan woke up and saw that her pillow was empty. She knew that he had left again. She turned around uncomfortably and continued to lie inside.

"Girl, are you awake?" Chu Xia heard the sound coming from the bed and asked softly.

"Yeah, but I still want to lie down for a while." Lin Qinghuan replied a little listlessly.

"Are you feeling unwell again?" Chu Xia asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry about me." Lin Qinghuan said casually, and now he didn't want to say anything more.

"Girl, you'd better get up. If you don't, our small kitchen will be burned down by your brother-in-law." Chu Xia walked forward and said pitifully.

"What?" Lin Qinghuan turned around and looked at Chu Xia in surprise. "Didn't he go to court? Why would he burn down my small kitchen?"

"My son-in-law is taking a day off today. He went to the kitchen early in the morning and said he wanted to prepare breakfast for the girl. Oh my God, the kitchen has been cleaned up by him... There is still smoke coming out of it... I don't know what he is doing." Chu Xia muttered, and Lin Qinghuan saw that there was still black ash on her face.

"He's going to prepare breakfast for me? What the hell is going on? Get up, I'm going to take a look."

Lin Qinghuan got up with some confusion and curiosity. Chuxia handed her a basin for washing. After washing, Lin Qinghuan walked to the outer courtyard anxiously with her hair loose.

Seeing black smoke coming out of the small kitchen, Yun Xiang's face was also blackened by the smoke. Luo Yun was standing next to the culprit Xiao Yi, handing him a handkerchief to wipe his face. Hong Qi and Da Yuan were holding buckets of water to put out the fire in the small kitchen.

"Husband, what are you doing? Are you burning the house for fun?" Lin Qinghuan came over and saw Xiao Yi who was still coughing and couldn't help but teasing him.

"Young Madam, I guess these fish are inedible. They are all burnt black." Yun Xiang said, pointing to a plate of black food on the stone table.

Lin Qinghuan sat down, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and was about to put it in her mouth to taste it when Xiao Yi grabbed her arm and said.

"Huan'er, don't eat anymore. It's bitter."

"We have to try it. This small kitchen can't be burned in vain." Lin Qinghuan took a small bite and chewed it. "If it had been served earlier, it would have been quite delicious."

"Okay, don't eat it. I just tasted it and it's terrible." Xiao Yi took Lin Qinghuan's chopsticks and said awkwardly.

Lin Qinghuan picked up the handkerchief on the stone table and wiped the black dust off the tip of his nose.

"Husband, why do you want to play in the kitchen?" Lin Qinghuan said a little depressed.

"It looks like this kitchen needs to be renovated. I didn't expect cooking to be so troublesome." Xiao Yi said helplessly as he looked at the small kitchen that was still emitting black smoke.

"Young Master, Young Madam, why don't you go to Luoyi Pavilion first these days? The kitchen there is very good." Luo Yun stepped forward and said.

"Yeah." Xiao Yi nodded at Luo Yun somewhat depressed.

Lin Qinghuan looked at him and found it quite funny.

"Let's go, pack up, I'll take you out for dinner." Xiao Yi stood up and pulled Lin Qinghuan beside him, and the two of them went back to the house. Yun Xiang and Chu Xia also wiped the dust off their faces and followed them into the house to serve.

The couple sitting in the carriage looked at each other, and Lin Qinghuan smiled faintly.

"Why are you thinking of making breakfast for me? This is not what Young Master Xiao should do." Lin Qinghuan was also surprised by Xiao Yi's behavior today.

"My Huan'er is angry, so as a husband I have to please her, so that she won't sleep with her back to me every day." Xiao Yi said, hugging Lin Qinghuan.

"No way, it's you who has a cold face every day..." Lin Qinghuan muttered angrily.

"Huan'er, how can I bear to be angry with you, I just..." Xiao Yi hesitated to speak.

"Husband, there's no one else in my heart. Huan'er is already your wife, and now she's pregnant with our child. How could I have any other thoughts? I just feel sorry for Nan'er. I've watched her become close to Ancai all along. The two of them...they are so in love with each other."

Lin Qinghuan looked up at Xiao Yi and said.

"I went to see my father-in-law and An Cai yesterday. My father-in-law said that he had not considered these things before, but now he thinks it is indeed inappropriate." Xiao Yi said.

"But Nan'er still doesn't want to eat or drink. I'm very worried about her." Lin Qinghuan said with a bitter face.

"She has been like this since she was a child. She makes a big fuss every three days and a small fuss every two days. She will be fine after a while." Xiao Yi said while holding Lin Qinghuan's hand.

"Alas, I can't bear to see her so sad. When she cries, I want to cry too." Lin Qinghuan felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. These days, Xiao Qiannan is just like himself in the past.

"Don't worry about her anymore. Yun wanted to tell me this morning that you had abdominal pain and bleeding yesterday. Does it still hurt now?" Xiao Yi asked while touching Lin Qinghuan's bulging belly.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry." Lin Qinghuan shook her head and said, "But how can I ignore her? She's like my own sister now. Husband, do you really have to let Nan'er marry someone you don't like?"

"Shen Xin is a handsome man with great talent. Nan'er will like him after marrying him. She is just young and ignorant now." Xiao Yi said.

"No, my third brother-in-law is also a handsome man, and he got his official position through his own ability, but my third sister just doesn't like him. She can't smile when she sees him, and she lives a very miserable life every day. I just don't want Nan'er to follow in her footsteps." Lin Qinghuan shook Xiao Yi's arm and said coquettishly, just hoping that he would be softer.

"Shen Xin is different from Wang Xin. You'll know once you've met him that Duke Shen is an influential figure in the literary world of Dasheng. Shen Xin has been influenced by the Duke since childhood, and is now also somewhat famous. Nan'er is a perfect match for him." Lin Qinghuan heard from Xiao Yi's tone that he highly valued the Shen family, so she could only pout and look at him helplessly.

"How good can he be? Is he as good as my husband? If not, I still feel that he is not worthy of my Nan'er." Lin Qinghuan said unconvinced.

"I'm not as accomplished as him in the literary world." Xiao Yi patted Lin Qinghuan's little face and said.

"Really?" Lin Qinghuan was a little bit unbelievable.

"Well, he is only twenty years old now, but he is already a leader among the younger generation." Xiao Yiyan said.

"Alas, I still can't accept Nan'er marrying someone else." Lin Qinghuan said disappointedly.

"Huan'er, if An Cai wants to get married on his own, he will not be able to stay in Jinhan for long." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan for a long time before speaking.

"Husband, do you know what happened?" Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi puzzledly and asked.

"There are many princesses and princesses in Jinhan, so many people want to marry into the Lin family." Xiao Yi touched the woman's head and said, "We're here, get off the car."

Lin Qinghuan lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "What is this place?"

"The pigeon soup of this restaurant is very famous. I have always wanted to bring you here to try it." Xiao Yi helped Lin Qinghuan get down from the riding stool. The waiter at the door saw the four-horse carriage with the Xiao Mansion sign hanging on it from a distance and hurried forward to greet them.

"Sir Xiao, please come to Madam Ya Ge." The waiter shouted while happily clearing the way in front.

"Madam, now that you are pregnant, let's have a meal in this 'Unique Paradise'. The incense burning inside can help you calm your mind and nourish your character, and it won't have any effect on your body." The waiter kept talking enthusiastically.

Lin Qinghuan looked at this unique private room and nodded. "It has a unique flavor. I really like the decorations here."

"As long as you like it." Xiao Yi said.

Chuxia and Yunxiang stepped forward and handed the small incense burner in the elegant pavilion to the waiter, then took out a small incense burner with an ivory carved phoenix eye pattern from the box, and added the incense that Lin Qinghuan was used to in daily life. The waiter held the incense burner and watched for a while at the luxurious habits of this richest family, then ran out with a smile, and ran back in with a menu a few minutes later.
