A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Lin Qinghuan looked at the man in front of her holding a bouquet of flowers and was unconsciously stunned.

"When did my husband become so romantic?"

"In order to make Huan'er happier, I should change my dull temper."

Xiao Yi said seriously, looking completely different from his usual cold personality, now he looked well-behaved and nervous.

Lin Qinghuan was not in a hurry to answer him, nor did she take the bouquet from his hand. She looked at the boat under her feet that was steadily parked in the lotus bushes. She put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth for a long time, then looked at the pleasant scene in front of her. However, Xiao Yi did not dare to move his eyes to follow the woman's footsteps.

"I've never seen you bring me here before. The lotus flowers are so beautiful, and there's a waterway specially opened in the middle. I think this must be the most beautiful section of the road leading into the island."

Lin Qinghuan looked around and then returned to Xiao Yi and said.

"I had never thought of taking a detour before..." Xiao Yi said.

"My dear, I see these lotus flowers and lotus leaves must have been newly transplanted here. When you went to the Jia Mansion with me that day, it seemed that you were playing chess with your brother-in-law, but in fact you were asking him to give you advice, right?"

Lin Qinghuan tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

"Huan'er, don't you like it?"

Xiao Yi asked with some disappointment. It seemed that he was too old-fashioned in his daily life, which made her realize at a glance that this sea of flowers and leaves was not his idea.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He actually acted out a play with Zi Yan just to trick her into coming here. But after venting his anger, Lin Qinghuan felt a little relieved. After all, this vast sea of flowers in front of him also took him a lot of thought and he even got a bunch of people to help. The alienation he felt towards him gradually faded away.

"It's not that I don't like it, but it's a pity that my husband, with his clever brain, has to seek his brother-in-law's ideas to make me happy, so I won't give you any extra points this time."

Lin Qinghuan said with a deliberately stern face.

"Huan'er, I will find a way to make you happy every day."

Xiao Yi said quickly.

"Fool."

After Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and put the lotus leaf that she had just secretly picked and hidden behind her back on Xiao Yi's head, then looked at him with a sweet smile.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he pulled Lin Qinghuan into his arms.

"Huan'er, you finally smiled. Your husband is so happy."

"My dear, you look so silly and adorable. I will forgive you this time."

Lin Qinghuan tilted her head back and said with a smile while looking at the nervous Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi felt relieved, and looked at the woman in his arms with a knowing smile, then gently kissed her soft pink lips. The couple embraced and kissed among the fragrant lotus leaves.

"Husband, you must not lie to Huan'er again from now on. If you do it again, I will never forgive you."

Lin Qinghuan leaned in Xiao Yi's arms and sat with him at the stern, chatting softly about their private matters.

"No, I won't hide anything from you in the future."

Xiao Yi took Lin Qinghuan's little hand and kissed it again and said.

"Then I will believe you this time."

Lin Qinghuan hugged her husband tighter. She knew that she loved him, so she let this farce end.

Xiao Yi suddenly thought of Chang Le who was sent away, and then his eyes darkened.

"Did Sister Zi Yan really ask me to help her choose clothes?"

Lin Qinghuan asked again.

"Someone has already helped her for you. You can just stay here with me and enjoy the beautiful scenery. After watching the sunset, we will go to the market to eat and fill your little belly."

Xiao Yi hugged Lin Qinghuan and leaned against him and said.

"That's fine. I'm happiest being with my husband."

After Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, Xiao Yi lowered his head and gently kissed the woman's forehead.

The setting sun painted half the sky red, and the boat began to row back. When it arrived at the entrance of Le Yin Fang, the anxious eyes of Yun Xiang and Chu Xia were seen. After seeing Lin Qinghuan and Xiao Yi walk ashore hand in hand, the two girls looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and happily stepped forward to greet Lin Qinghuan.

"Sister Mo, you are here?"

When Lin Qinghuan walked to the door of the main hall, he saw Lin Mo playfully patting Jia Xu who had done something naughty again.

"Huan'er, you're finally here."

Lin Mo looked at the smiles on Lin Qinghuan and Xiao Yi's faces and knew that the awkwardness was over.

"Sister Mo, have you and my brother-in-law walked around the garden? It's so lively there, everywhere..."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile as he watched Lin Qinghuan regain her former lively spirit and chat with Lin Mo incessantly.

Jia Xu walked over and patted Xiao Yi's shoulder gently, raising his eyebrows at him. Xiao Yi nodded, then bowed to Jia Xu in gratitude. Jia Xu quickly held him down.

"Brother Xiao, let's not go home until we're drunk tonight."

After saying that, he smiled heartily and walked into the front hall with Xiao Yi.

After the pleasant dinner, Lin Qinghuan found that Madam Zi Yan was very cute. Although she could not drink much, she was very fond of drinking. She had to rely on Da Yuan and Dong'er's support to barely stay above the weight. She kept smiling foolishly and holding Lin Qinghuan's hand.

"Young Madam is so pretty. All the girls in the Lin family are pretty. No wonder the men in Jinhan City are so eager to break down the Lin family's gate!"

Zi Yan was talking nonsense in a crazy and stupid manner. Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo looked at each other and smiled secretly.

"Huan'er, you and Brother Jia go ahead. I'll give you a few words and then come back. Don't let this madman's drunken stench get to you."

Xiao Yi stood in front of Lin Qinghuan, fearing that Zi Yan would hurt his wife. He then said to Dong'er, "She must not drink alcohol from now on."

"Hahaha…"

Lin Qing was happy for a moment, then nodded to Xiao Yi, and left the yard with Jia Xu and Lin Mo first.

Xiao Yi signaled Dong'er to leave first, then whispered a few words in Zi Yan's ear, glanced at Da Yuan, and the two of them left the yard.

When Dong'er entered the yard again, he saw Zi Yan sitting on a stone bench, and she no longer looked drunk as before.

"Madam, the abbot and his men are already on board."

Dong'er stepped forward and said.

"Well, have someone deliver this letter to Zhoushan Salt Shop. If they ask, just say it's Phoenix Nirvana. We'll set off tonight."

Zi Yan stood up, and the gauze on her upper body slid down to her shoulders, revealing the faint trace of the phoenix tattoo. A happy and satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Yes."

Dong'er nodded, took the letter and put it in her pocket, then helped Zi Yan walk towards her yard.

"You're still drunk. Walk slower, you little bitch."

In the dim light of the lantern, Zi Yan's voice began to sound drunken again.

"The abbot has instructed that my wife should drink less cold wine in the future."

Dong'er whispered.

"Humph, just pretend you didn't hear that. Hold on tighter, you're staggering when you walk."

Two carriages belonging to the Xiao and Jia families were parked by the lake. Hong Qi was sitting at the front of the carriage with a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth. When she saw Lin Qinghuan and others, she tilted her head and spit it out, then jumped off the carriage and placed the carriage stool at the back of the carriage.

"Sister Mo, are you happy today?"

Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo held each other's arms all the way and never stopped talking.

"This Le Yin Fang is truly a great place. No wonder every man longs for it."

Lin Moyan said.

"I don't." Jia Xu said quickly.

"Hmph, that makes you seem special." Lin Mo said.

"Brother-in-law, everyone loves beauty. Even Sister Mo and I like this place. Since you don't like it, next time Sister Mo and I come here, I won't bring you with me."

Lin Qinghuan said deliberately.

"Wherever my wife goes, I will naturally follow her. I am the most virtuous husband of all Jinhan."

Jia Xu said quickly.

"You are the best talker."

Lin Mo cursed coquettishly, and then continued chatting with Lin Qinghuan with a smile.

"I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow, and we'll go see Dad and Mom off."

Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo parted reluctantly and returned to their carriages. They lifted the carriage curtains and waved goodbye.

"Okay, go back and rest early. You still have to continue taking the medicine."

Lin Mo warned.

After returning to Qingbo Courtyard, the two were very tired after washing up. Xiao Yi also wanted to be lazy for a day, so he didn't go to the study to busy himself with paperwork.

"Huan'er, do you want to be my husband?"

Xiao Yi hugged Lin Qinghuan affectionately from behind, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his shallow breathing tickling her neck.

"Why do I miss you?"

Lin Qinghuan asked deliberately, his neck always avoiding Xiao Yi's breath.

"Then I'll tell you."

Xiao Yi held Lin Qinghuan in his arms with one hand, bit her ear and spoke in a low voice. Then he smiled slightly, bent down, picked up the woman and walked towards the bed.
