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

The largest inn in the capital is Yingqing Inn, which has hundreds of guest rooms.

Lin Nian understood immediately; it was her second brother's business.

As soon as He Wan arrived, she dragged Lin Nian to pay the bill. Lin Nian couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Was Tianji Manor really that poor?

They can't even afford to stay at a guesthouse?

He obediently paid the bill and waited for He Wan's next instructions.

He Wan looked down on people and arrogantly ordered, "Go and invite my father."

Lin Nian feigned an innocent and pitiful expression, "So Master has also come to the capital? But why doesn't he stay at Prince Cheng's residence?"

He Wan said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

They're definitely too proud to visit, clinging to the dignity of their elders.

Lin Nian scoffed inwardly, thinking that he probably couldn't stay at the inn any longer and had tricked him into "inviting someone back home."

Ah Cheng has terrible taste in choosing a master!

"Where is Master?" Lin Nian looked around, "I can't see him."

He Wan said, "Room Number One in the Heavenly Division."

Lin Nian gave Hua Yue a wink, and Hua Yue quickly ran up, found the right door, and banged on it loudly.

"Master, are you there? Master? Master!" Hua Yue's clear voice rang out so loudly that it could be heard even in the main hall.

"Master! It's me, Huayue, I've come to pick you up."

Hua Yue's voice grew louder and louder, and He Wan angrily said, "I told you to go, not Hua Yue to go."

Lin Nian said innocently, "Hua Yue is really something, why is he in such a hurry? I'll definitely have a good talk with him later."

Ignoring the curious stares of passersby, Hua Yue knocked on the door, grabbed the person inside, and dragged them towards the lobby.

"Master, really, why are you staying at an inn in the capital?" Hua Yue grumbled. "If you keep this up, people will think that my lord has been neglecting you."

Hua Yue dragged He Mu to the main hall, "Master is here, Master is here."

"What kind of behavior is this!" He Mu roared. "Let me go right now!"

Hua Yue looked small, but she was surprisingly strong. The little chicken claw-like hand gripping his wrist felt incredibly powerful, making it impossible for him to break free.

Lin Nian then saw her master's appearance clearly. He was a thin, middle-aged man with a strong scholarly air about him, but his eyes were not clear enough, so he looked rather hypocritical.

He was a little puzzled. The man was learning how to use a knife, but no matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like someone who knew how to use a knife.

He Mu and He Wan are indeed father and son; even their accents are exactly the same.

He looked Lin Nian up and down, as if he were examining a piece of merchandise for sale.

"You're the husband of my unworthy disciple?"

Hearing this person belittle her husband like that, Lin Nian was immediately displeased.

He showed no emotion on his face, but bowed gently and weakly, saying, "Greetings, Master."

He Mu snorted coldly, "That unruly disciple has truly become lawless these days, actually sending a boy to disrespect his master."

"Master, please don't be offended. It's just that His Highness is busy with official duties and can't get away," Lin Nian said. "His Highness is wholeheartedly dedicated to the well-being of the people, so naturally he's quite busy."

He covered his lips with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and then said lightly:

"My lord is most respectful of his teachers, how could he possibly be disrespectful to his master? Master, you must not say such things, lest you hurt the lord's feelings."

He Mu glanced at him sideways and said, "You're quite the sharp-tongued fellow."

Lin Nian felt extremely wronged. "If being truthful can be called being eloquent, then Lin Nian really has nothing to say."

Having suffered a setback, He Mutou was inevitably filled with anger. "You!"

Upon seeing this, He Wan stepped forward and slapped Lin Nian across the face.

"Even Yin Cheng wouldn't dare speak to us like that, how dare you!"

His movements were so sudden that even Hua Yue, who was beside him, didn't have time to react.

Lin Nian collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Hua Yue's eyes were bloodshot. She pushed He Mu away with one palm and drew the twin swords from her waist, intending to strike back.

"You...you've gone too far!"

He felt utterly useless; Wang Jun had actually been bullied by He Wan right in front of him!

Someone flashed to Lin Nian's side before him, picked her up with one hand and handed her to his husband, then stepped forward and kicked He Mu to the ground.

He Mu smashed several tables and chairs in a row, and when he got up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He Wan quickly went over to help him up. "Father! Are you alright?"

He glared fiercely at the newcomer, "My senior brother is Prince Yin Cheng, how dare you touch us?!"

Lin Yunyuan sneered, "Who do we have here? It's just some good-for-nothing from Tianji Manor."

He walked up to Hemu, grabbed his hair, and forced him to tilt his head back.

"If Tianji Manor wants to fight, Guishan will fight to the bitter end."

"Guishan..." He Mu was in so much pain that he could barely speak. In all these years in the Northern Territory, he had been pampered and treated like royalty. He couldn't remember the last time he had been this disheveled.

He Mu's eyes widened. "You...you are Guishan Xueyin..."

Shen Qingheng, oblivious to the situation, anxiously held Lin Nian while heavily pregnant, saying, "Hua Yue, quickly go and fetch a doctor."

Hua Yue snapped out of her daze. "I...I'll go right now."

Lin Nian suddenly opened her eyes and winked playfully at Shen Qingheng.

He didn't hit me.

Lin Nian smiled with her eyes crinkling, then quickly closed them and leaned weakly against her brother-in-law.

Shen Qingheng: "..."

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, then gave her king a thumbs up.

At this moment, He Wan also realized, "I... I didn't hit him at all!"

He was terrified. With Yin Cheng's protection in the North, no one dared to say a word against his arrogance and domineering behavior.

But this isn't Rainbow City.

Lin Yunyuan threw Hemu down like a dead dog, saying, "You better pray my brother is alright, or I'll definitely massacre your Tianji Manor."

"Husband," Shen Qingheng called her husband back, "take Nian-ge'er to the clinic first."

Lin Yunyuan snapped out of his rage, "Yes, yes, I was confused."

Their carriage was parked outside, and the group hurriedly led Lin Nian into the carriage, completely ignoring the father and son.

Coincidentally, the two of them had just returned from the suburbs today.

Shen Qingheng wanted something sour, and Lin Yunyuan remembered that there was a cook at his second brother's inn who could make an excellent sour plum drink, which his husband and sons all loved.

He had just taken his husband to find the cook when he heard Huayue's clear, crisp voice.

As soon as I arrived in the lobby, I saw this scene.

Inside the carriage at the Lin residence, Lin Yunyuan grumbled and cursed, saying things like, "What kind of insignificant Tianji Manor dares to show off their limited skills before an expert?"

Shen Qingheng slapped the man, "Shut your mouth."

Lin Yunyuan reluctantly shut his mouth.

Lin Nian got up from her brother-in-law and affectionately touched his belly. "When did you guys get back?"

"Just got back," Shen Qingheng asked. "What was that all about?"

Lin Nian pouted, "Just playing along with that naughty elder."

"Nian-ge'er, are you alright?" Lin Yunyuan looked at his youngest brother, whose face was rosy and didn't seem to have been bullied.

Lin Nian said, "I was faking it."

"Thank goodness you're alright. I've already figured out how to beat up that brat Yin Cheng."

Lin Nian said angrily, "No!"

Lin Yunyuan: "..."

Lin Yunyuan retorted angrily, "You brat, you're siding with outsiders, aren't you?"

Lin Nian hugged Shen Qingheng with a pitiful expression, "Brother-in-law, look at him!"
