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

When Shen Qingheng was twelve years old, her family moved to Yongning Lane, becoming neighbors with the residence of the valiant general next door.

That year, he saw a carefree young man riding by on horseback in a sunlit alley, like a refreshing breeze blowing into the young man's passionate heart.

And now, he has seized this refreshing breeze.

I will never let go again after that.

Ye Qingyu got busy again. Her eldest son's wedding had been delayed for fifteen years, so it was time to have a big celebration.

The wedding date was set in a hurry, just ten days later, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ye Qingyu felt guilty towards Shen Qingheng for holding the wedding so hastily.

Shen Qingheng touched her belly, but didn't feel wronged at all.

His only regret was towards Nian Ge'er.

He's stubborn and keeps hurting the people around him.

Lin Yunyuan hugged the person to comfort him, knowing that Nian-ge'er was not a petty person and would certainly not blame or resent him.

Shen Qingheng thought to herself that she should apologize to her younger brother, so she sent someone to find some rare ancient books and send them to the Prince's mansion.

Lin Nian was overjoyed to receive the small gift from her brother-in-law, and immediately began preparing a return gift.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, everyone at Prince Cheng's Mansion is busy.

As the head of the household, this was Lin Nian's first time arranging various matters for the festival in the manor, and some oversights were inevitable.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that Yin Cheng would be leaving the mansion on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yin Cheng held the little beauty in his arms and said, "Niannian, I have to go out for the Mid-Autumn Festival and won't be able to stay with you."

"How long will it take...?" Lin Nian asked sullenly.

Yin Cheng thought for a moment, "It'll only take two or three days."

Lin Nian was reluctant to part with the man, but he wasn't some inconsiderate fool. "Is there any danger?"

"I don't think so."

"Then you have to be careful." Lin Nian nestled in the man's arms, while he held Wanzi, stroking the fluffy thing in his arms intermittently.

Yin Cheng kissed her beloved husband, "Yes, don't worry."

"Will I be able to make it back for my older brother's wedding?"

Yin Cheng said apologetically, "I'm afraid that won't work. I've already instructed Jingyi to prepare the gifts. Here's the gift list; please take a look and see if anything is missing."

Lin Nian took the gift list and glanced at it. "Very good... but isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

"No," Yin Cheng said.

Maruko meowed at the right moment, revealing her pink paw pads, and rolled around in the little beauty's arms.

"How come this cat is so fat? It's really gotten chubby." Yin Cheng poked the kitten's head.

Lin Nian retorted, "No, I didn't."

Suddenly, a pair of hands covered his waist. "How come everyone in the family is gaining weight, but my Nian Nian is still so thin?"

"Then I'll eat more," Lin Nian said. "Husband, take some mooncakes with you when you leave."

He smiled a little sheepishly, "I made them all by hand..."

"Okay." Taking advantage of his inattention, Yin Cheng picked up the kitten and put it on the ground.

When her arms suddenly felt empty, Lin Nian tried to reach out and hug it back, but the man grabbed her hand mid-air.

"Niannian," the man's voice was low and husky, "it's already dark."

Lin Nian's ears turned bright red. She knew perfectly well what the man wanted to do, but she pretended not to know anything. "So what if it's dark... um."

Maruko meowed several times around the bed. The newborn kitten, despite using all four of its short legs to jump up and rescue its owner who was sobbing softly.

Early on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Nian distributed reward money to everyone in the mansion.

Xiao Fu received two taels of silver, and his mind was already planning how to go out and enjoy himself.

He turned to look for his friend Huayue, but unexpectedly, Huayue was sitting under the eaves, holding a mooncake bigger than her face, and earnestly eating it.

Lin Nian made it especially for him; it had several kinds of fillings, all of which he liked.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Fu said. "I've collected your reward money for you, here you go."

After handing the brocade pouch to Huayue, Xiaofu sat down next to him. "How about we go out for a stroll during our break? I heard that Ruan Nuozhai has launched a new product called Snow Skin Mooncake, with fruit filling. The queue is so long every day that it takes several hours to get there. Let's go try it."

"Um."

Xiao Fu looked at him suspiciously. "Why are you acting so strange today? Is something on your mind?"

Hua Yue shook her head.

Xiao Fu immediately became certain, "You must have something on your mind. Come and tell me, and your brother Xiao Fu will help you solve your problems."

Hua Yue munched on her mooncake without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Fu rubbed Hua Yue's little tuft of hair. "Are you unhappy because the Prince isn't at the manor for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Upon hearing this, Huayue slowly raised her head, then quickly shook her head.

Xiao Fu scratched his head, even more bewildered. He had never seen Hua Yue look so preoccupied before.

That evening, Xiao Fu brought up this matter while serving Lin Nian a bath.

Lin Nian was very worried, and that night she had a heart-to-heart talk with Hua Yue.

Hearing Lin Nian's gentle voice, Hua Yue finally couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Lin Nian's arms, bursting into tears.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't know, sob sob."

"I will never do that again, please don't be angry with me."

Although Lin Nian didn't understand what he was talking about, she still patted his head and said gently, "It's okay, I'm not angry with Hua Yue."

Hua Yue looked up at him with teary eyes, "I have always regarded the prince as my father, and I really never thought of becoming his concubine."

Even Lin Nian, who considered himself fairly composed, couldn't help but exclaim "Huh?" upon hearing this, before saying with a wry smile:

"Silly Huayue, what are you thinking about all day?"

Hua Yue sobbed as she nestled in Lin Nian's arms, "Wang Jun is like Hua Yue's little father, so incredibly good."

No wonder the man said before that if he really wanted to raise a child, he could raise a child named Huayue.

It seems that his and Huayue's thought processes are indeed on the same level.

"My lord, please don't hate me, please don't send me away... Waaah."

"Don't cry, don't cry." Lin Nian hugged the soft baby. "Wang Jun won't hate you, and he won't send you away."

Through teary eyes, Hua Yue asked, "Really?"

"Mmm." Lin Nian held out her hand. "Let's pinky swear."

Hua Yue finally stopped crying and snuggled up to Lin Nian, acting all cute and affectionate.

"I have no improper thoughts about Your Highness."

"I grew up in a northern military camp; no one taught me before..."

His voice grew softer and softer until he finally fell asleep in Lin Nian's arms.

Lin Nian carried the person to the bed and summoned Xiao Fu to inquire about what had happened that day and whether someone had gossiped about Hua Yue.

Xiao Fu isn't good at gathering information, but he's good at calling people.

After hearing the whole story, Jingyi immediately identified the candidate.

"Hua Yue was brought back from the northern border by the prince, so it shouldn't be anyone from the prince's mansion gossiping about her," Jingyi said. "I'm afraid the problem lies with the prince's dowry maids."

Fearing that her youngest son would be mistreated in his husband's family, Lady Lin assigned more than ten maids as part of his dowry, who came to the Prince's mansion with him.

Xiao Fu scratched his head, "If it really is them, Wang Jun will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Jingyi sighed, "Let's find the person first, as the king instructed."

After a thorough search, Jingyi quickly identified two servants.

It turned out that the two servants saw that Huayue often clung to the prince, so they felt that Huayue had impure thoughts and was probably trying to compete with their young master for favor. That's why they gossiped when no one was around.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yue's hearing was so sharp that he heard it.

When Lin Nian found out, she fined the two of them a month's salary, which was considered a lenient punishment.

"If there's a next time, I'll send you back. Do you understand?"

The two servants nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would not repeat the mistake.
