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

Post-disaster reconstruction is on track, and displaced people have new homes.

Zhao Su would be staying in Jiangzhou for a long time. On the day Yin Cheng left, several officials who had been sent down to provide disaster relief held a dinner party.

Zhao Su downed two mouthfuls of wine and then talked to Yin Cheng for a long time.

It all boils down to family, country, the world, and aspirations for the nation.

Yin Cheng patted him on the shoulder, then calmly got all the scholars drunk.

When Yin Cheng returned to the capital, he was accompanied by Bai Yuchen.

Although Baishui City has indeed maintained good relations with Da Yin in recent years, for a powerful figure to rashly go to the capital is tantamount to challenging imperial authority.

Yin Cheng didn't take it seriously. Since Brother Bai knew his brother, he might as well go. It was probably no different from visiting relatives during festivals.

Upon arriving in the capital, he parted ways with Bai Yuchen.

"Brother Bai, if you need anything, just come to Prince Cheng's residence to find me." Yin Cheng cupped his hands in greeting. "Until we meet again."

Bai Yuchen said, "Until we meet again."

Yin Cheng was unaware that during the two months he was in Jiangzhou, news of the marriage between Prince Cheng and the youngest son of the Lin family had spread throughout the capital.

He did not return to his residence, but went straight to the palace.

The emperor was quite surprised. "You actually came to see me first." He chuckled. "I thought you were going to go see that young master from the Lin family first."

Yin Cheng said, "I'll go in a bit."

"Zhao Su has already confessed everything in the secret letter, so why are you here to see me?" the emperor asked.

Yin Cheng slammed his hand on the table, startling the emperor. His hand holding the pen trembled, and a drop of ink fell onto the memorial he was about to review.

Yin Mo: "..."

Yin Mo: "What's wrong?"

"What's your relationship with Bai Yuchen? Tell me honestly." Yin Cheng held a grudge. "You asked him for help without telling me beforehand. You're wary of me, aren't you? Fine, fine."

Yin Mo felt a little guilty. "I forgot, I forgot."

Faced with his sincere younger brother, Yin Mo coughed. "Giving you a day off from morning court? You can come whenever you want, okay?"

Yin Cheng was finally satisfied. "I'm leaving."

Yin Mo chuckled. This brat.

"By the way, Bai Yuchen has arrived in the capital." Yin Cheng had already reached the palace gate when he poked his head back in. "Should I go and keep an eye on him?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Mo suddenly stood up.

He...he's here?

"No need." He shook his head calmly and composedly. "I trust him."

"Oh, okay, he's really leaving this time." Yin Cheng had walked far away, so he didn't see the strange expression on Yin Mo's face, which was both surprised and expectant.

Inside the Lin residence, Huayue and Xiaofu were forced to practice calligraphy.

The two young men whispered to each other, and Huayue said, "When the prince comes back, let him practice. His handwriting is the worst."

Xiao Fu said, "That's great! Now we can both go out and play."

Lin Nian tapped the table lightly. "No whispering allowed."

The two boys sat obediently and diligently copied the calligraphy model.

This story begins with the letters exchanged between Huayue and the secret guards.

Ever since Yin Shun came to the Lin family to propose marriage, Hua Yue was so angry that she got up in the middle of the night to write a letter to Yin Cheng.

Xiao Fu also felt that someone needed to teach Yin Shun a lesson, so he volunteered to light the lamp for Hua Yue.

Lin Nian noticed the flickering candlelight outside and curiously went over. She saw two young men arguing quietly about whose handwriting was uglier.

Lin Nian saw that both of their handwritings were ugly in a unique and unconventional way.

So neither of the two kids could escape, and Lin Nian would grab them whenever she had a spare moment to practice calligraphy.

"What are they doing?" Yin Cheng happened to see this scene when he climbed over the wall. He didn't expect that the little cutie had the talent to be a teacher.

"Your Highness!" Hua Yue immediately raised her head upon hearing Yin Cheng's voice, her small face stained with ink.

He ran over happily and hugged Yin Cheng, looking up at her and asking, "When did you get back?"

Yin Cheng pressed his fingertips against the child's forehead and pushed him away, saying, "Stay away from me, you're filthy."

The disliked Hua Yue chuckled and smeared the ink stains on her face onto Yin Cheng's arm. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Nya nya nya."

Lin Nian felt a pang of envy for Hua Yue; he could openly approach men, while she...

Xiao Fu sensibly pulled Hua Yue away, "Come on, I'll take you to wash your face."

Hua Yue said, "Your Highness, wait for me to return!"

Yin Cheng rolled his eyes. "Don't come back."

Back then, in the borderlands, I thought I had found a son, but I never expected to find an ancestor.

Lin Nian's mind was still wandering, and she even began to suspect that Hua Yue was a concubine kept by a man...

"This brat has no manners and has caused you no end of trouble, hasn't he?" When Yin Cheng saw Lin Nian's complicated expression, his first thought was that Hua Yue, that brat, had caused trouble.

Lin Nian shook her head. "He's very well-behaved."

"He's quite skilled in martial arts; you should take him with you when you go out."

"Um……"

The two chatted idly, but Yin Cheng never approached him. He simply stood at the doorway and watched him quietly.

Lin Nian felt a little embarrassed by the man's gaze. "You must have had a hard time going to Jiangzhou..."

"It's not hard work. Oh, by the way, I bought you a hairpin." Yin Cheng took out the hairpin from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Thank you," Lin Nian said softly.

He felt a little wronged. They had already been so intimate when they were in the cave, and yet he still... Anyway, he was determined to have this man for the rest of his life.

They were getting physical before, but now why are they suddenly keeping their distance from him...?

He's not some monster!

He just hugged Huayue, but he won't even hug him! Humph! Well... I didn't really want to be hugged by him anyway!

Lin Nian felt wronged, and her eyes welled up with tears.

When Yin Cheng saw that the man's eyes were red, he thought that he had done something wrong again.

He thought to himself, "This shouldn't be happening!"

He followed his brother's wishes completely, showing full respect and protection to the young beauty, and would never do anything inappropriate before marriage.

We're already so far away, wouldn't it be too rude to the beautiful lady?

That's true; it's not very polite to trespass into someone's private quarters.

Yin Cheng pondered to himself, "Maybe next time I should send something to Hua Yue and have her deliver it. She's an honest and polite young man; she certainly wouldn't openly kick someone out. Of course, she might not have stopped him because of my status..."

Upon realizing this, Yin Cheng immediately came to his senses. "I won't come again."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Nian burst into tears on the spot.

When he cried, Yin Cheng panicked.

"Hey, don't cry. I really won't come again. I'm so sorry, I just wanted to see you," Yin Cheng said. "Don't cry, I'll leave now."

"Don't go." Lin Nian didn't want to become so prone to crying; he used to cry very little.

The little beauty's voice was choked with sobs, and tears fell one by one.

"Don't go..." Lin Nian's voice was very soft, but it used up all his courage.

Yin Cheng stood there stunned. The next moment, he strode forward, grabbed the little beauty's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, a person he hadn't seen for two months.
