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

Presented to the Prince's Mansion, Qionghua Garden.

Yinzhu, carrying a bowl of bird's nest porridge, gently knocked on the door.

"Young Master Shen, this servant is Yinzhu, sent by the King to serve you," Yinzhu said. "This morning, the King specially prepared bird's nest porridge for you and instructed this servant to bring it to you."

Shen Qingheng slowly opened the door, her face completely pale.

He stepped aside to let Yinzhu into the room.

Yinzhu placed the bird's nest porridge on the table and was about to leave when Huayue, who was hiding in the shadows, flicked a soybean at Shen Qingheng's ankle.

Lin Nian, who was also hiding in the shadows, asked in a soft, anxious voice, "You didn't hurt Brother Qingheng, did you?"

Hua Yue patted her small chest, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I didn't use any force."

The silver beaded creature swiftly caught Shen Qingheng before he was about to fall, and discreetly took his pulse.

"Young Master Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Qingheng assumed she had lost her balance and was startled, her face turning even paler.

"Is there anything that's bothering you?" Yinzhu continued to ask.

Shen Qingheng shook her head. "It was my rudeness."

Yinzhu sighed inwardly, thinking that Young Master Shen was truly a handsome and kind-hearted young man.

"I'm in the outer room. Please feel free to give me any instructions, Young Master Shen."

Thank you.

After Yinzhu stepped down, she made a gesture to the person in the shadows indicating that the mission was accomplished.

In the corridor of the backyard of Qionghua Garden, Lin Nian and Hua Yue were hiding behind a pillar.

Seeing Yinzhu come out, Lin Nian hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Although there was no one around, Yinzhu still looked around cautiously, as if she were a spy making a rendezvous, and said, "It's been a month."

Lin Nian said, "This matter must be kept secret and must not be made public."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm very discreet," Yinzhu said. "Besides, Young Master Shen's pulse is very weak; he needs to be nourished."

"Huayue, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food and send it over."

Hua Yue said, "Alright."

Lin Nian quickly covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down."

"Okay," Huayue said in a breathy voice, "I'll go right now."

Lin Nian continued to instruct, "Yinzhu, you stay in Qionghua Garden and try your best to fulfill whatever requests Young Master Shen makes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

In the study, the guards were reporting the clues they had found.

"On the day of the master's wedding, the troublemaking scholar insisted that it was for the sake of the country and refused to reveal the mastermind behind it."

"However, I found out that this scholar is from Xiangzhou, and he has a brother who works at the estate of the Prince of Yiyang in the suburbs of the capital."

Yin Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the hint of cynicism in them.

"The beggar was originally a wealthy man in the capital, but he became addicted to gambling and lost all his wealth. His husband and children left him, which is why he became a beggar."

"On the eve of his master's wedding, a veiled young man gave him a sum of money and instructed him to cause trouble on the way."

"This person has no connection with the Prince Cheng's mansion; he is probably only after money."

Yin Cheng asked, "Have you found out who the veiled boy is?"

The guard said, "It's a servant from the household of Xu Shaojin, a Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet."

"When did I offend those people in the cabinet?" Yin Cheng racked his brains to recall his actions after returning to the capital.

He was very well-behaved and honest, and didn't cause any trouble.

The guard's expression faltered for a moment. "Xu Shaojin's new wife is the king's cousin, and that maid is part of her dowry."

Yin Cheng made a note of this matter; he needed to remind Niannian of her cunning cousin.

To prevent my little beauty from being bullied.

The guard paused, then continued, "Master, while our men were investigating the clues, they encountered the Emperor's secret guards who were also thoroughly investigating this matter."

Almost everyone associated with him was executed on the spot.

"Yin Shun was stripped of his title as heir apparent by the Emperor for his misconduct, and Xu Shaojin was demoted three ranks. His second wife was spared his life temporarily because she was Wang Jun's cousin."

"Although the scholar and the beggar are safe for now, I suspect His Majesty intends to wait until things calm down before taking action."

Yin Cheng stroked his chin. "Why is my brother so angry?"

"...This subordinate is unaware."

"Step down."

"Yes."

……

Cheng Wangjun sneaked out of Qionghua Garden, but before he even got close to the main building, the man grabbed him around the waist.

"We've caught a little beauty all alone." Yin Cheng kissed Lin Nian's neck. "Where did this little beauty come from? She's so pretty. Let's snatch her and have some fun with her."

Lin Nian blushed and pushed him away, "Don't be silly in broad daylight."

Yin Cheng has always been thick-skinned. "No one's seeing, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Nian gave the man a coquettish glare, then remembered the important matter, "Oh right, husband, take me back, quickly."

Yin Cheng understood after a moment's thought, "Did Yinzhu sense the pulse?"

"Mmm..." Lin Nian didn't say much, but urged, "Hurry, hurry, hurry."

Yin Cheng leaned closer, "Give me some compensation."

Lin Nian pouted, "You have to pay your husband to do things for you..."

Despite saying that, the little beauty still obediently offered her soft, pink lips.

After Yin Cheng had kissed her enough, he carried her and flew to the Lin residence in Anle Lane.

As Lin Nian nestled in the man's arms, she thought to herself, "He's really getting more and more depraved!"

Upon arriving at the Lin residence, Lin Nian went straight to her elder brother's courtyard, calling out, "Elder brother."

Lin Yunyuan was already quite used to his youngest brother following Yin Cheng's nonsense.

In broad daylight, instead of taking a carriage, they insisted on using their light-footed skills to fly over.

He rolled his eyes at Yin Cheng.

It's definitely for showing off skills. We're all men, those who know, know.

Lin Nian didn't understand his older brother's look. After dismissing the servants, he quickly asked, "Brother, where were you a month ago?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunyuan immediately understood.

His voice trembled slightly, "Is Qingheng really pregnant?... It's been a month already?"

"I know you're shocked, but don't be," Yin Cheng said. "Finding the father of the child is the key. What do you think, brother-in-law?"

"That's right, brother, think about it carefully, it's driving me crazy!"

"A month ago..." Lin Yunyuan thought carefully for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "I didn't go anywhere."

Yin Cheng asked, "Have you gone out? Have you drunk alcohol outside?"

He covered Lin Nian's ears, "Have you ever had any dreams that are inappropriate for children?"

Lin Yunyuan retorted angrily, "Is this the kind of thing you just casually talk about?"

Lin Nian removed the man's hand. "What are you saying?"

Yin Cheng and Lin Yunyuan both shook their heads. "It's nothing."

Lin Nian pouted.

"I want to go and talk to him," Lin Yunyuan asked. "Is he still unwilling to see me?"

Lin Nian said, "Qingheng is in very bad condition, and I don't dare to upset him."

"I think it would be good for the two of them to meet," Yin Cheng said. "They can talk things out face-to-face and clarify who is responsible. If he really is the brother-in-law's child, then they should marry him."

"Regardless of whether the child is mine or not, as long as it's Qingheng's, it's mine."

Yin Cheng gave a thumbs up, "It has to be you, brother-in-law. Such awareness is truly impressive."

Lin Nian glared at the man, "I disagree! What if Brother Qingheng gets upset and falls ill?"
