As soon as the Beloved Child returned to the grand hall, Ling Yuxuan's slightly squinted eyes suddenly brightened. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her delicate hands.
"By the way! Sister Seven, what did Father Emperor talk to you about in there? You were chatting so mysteriously for such a long time!"
Just as this newlywed couple was gazing into each other's eyes, filled with affection, Ling Yuer leaned over curiously.
"We didn't talk about much. Father Emperor just asked me about my future ideas and plans regarding business and some trivial matters."
Ziyan instinctively wanted to pull her hand back from her Future Husband Ling Yuxuan's grasp. However, just as she withdrew her hand, he further wrapped his long arm around her Slim Willow Waist.
"Ah! We just separated for a short while, and you can't help but show off your affection again? How shameless!"
After saying this, Ling Yuer disdainfully curled her lip.
"They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. What's wrong? Are you jealous or unwilling? Otherwise, Sixth Brother can help you ask Father Emperor to issue a decree for your marriage too."
Ling Feng intended to tease his Princess Sister in retaliation for her earlier chatter in the hall about their little 'grudge.'
"I don't want that! I want to enjoy my freedom for a few more years. Sixth Brother, you mustn't cause trouble for me."
Ling Yuer became a bit anxious at this.
"Hmph! That depends on whether you plan to keep making fun of your Sixth Brother in the future."
Seeing his sister genuinely upset, Ling Feng also expressed his own dissatisfaction.
"Uh? Oh, so Sixth Brother is holding a grudge against his sister for what happened before?"
Ling Yuer finally reacted.
"Of course! If you keep trampling on Sixth Brother's face next time, who knows, Sixth Brother might get upset and advise Father to arrange a marriage for you sooner rather than later. How about choosing General Mu's son, Mu Xiaopang? He's all chubby; that could be quite something!"
Ling Feng deliberately brought up the ugly and overweight son of a current military general.
"No way, absolutely not. I will listen to Sixth Brother from now on and won't tease him anymore. I beg Sixth Brother not to randomly advise Father; otherwise, otherwise, I will take my own life."
This time, Ling Yuer was genuinely frightened, her face pale as she pleaded, even resorting to threats.
"Alright, His Highness, the King of Xiang. Don't scare Yuer anymore; what kind of brother are you, really?"
Ziyan couldn't stand it any longer and rolled her eyes at Ling Feng.
Then she comforted Ling Yuer, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare do that. Otherwise, I would definitely help you take him down with Seventh Brother."
"Uh? You... you're ruthless!"
Ling Feng was instantly speechless.
"Alright... heh heh! Still, Sister Yan, oh no, I should say my Seventh Sister-in-law is the best person."
A smile immediately returned to Ling Yuer's face, and she began to dance with joy and clap her hands.
This made the nearby Maid, house servants, and others unable to hold back their laughter as they covered their mouths.
"Alright, alright, if you want to play, then go ahead. We still need to pay our respects to Mother."
Ziyan helplessly shook her head and then gave her Future Husband a knowing glance. The two of them ignored everyone else and headed straight towards the main building where Miao'er lived.
Soon, just as Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan arrived at Miao'er's door, they saw Miao'er had already come out to greet them.
Ziyan immediately lowered her body slightly and performed a standard bow. "I apologize, Mother, Yan'er and Future Husband are late in paying their respects."
"Hehe, silly girl, it's fine. I know you two have been tired and on the move these past few days, and you had to get up early yesterday. How could I blame you? I feel for you! Come on, let's hurry inside; Mute Girl and I have prepared some special soup for both of you, perfect for you to drink right now."
As Miao'er spoke, she directly took Ziyan's hand and led the two of them to the large table in her room.
Sure enough, on the table was a large clay pot of sea cucumber chicken soup, steaming hot with vapor rising from it.
It seemed she had someone keep an eye on them from early on so that she could time it perfectly to serve this for Ziyan and her Future Husband. Realizing this made Ziyan's heart warm significantly.
People often say that the relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law can be quite difficult; if not handled well, it could lead to a relationship fraught with tension.
However, at this moment, Ziyan was convinced that she and Miao'er would definitely become as close as mother and daughter in this lifetime!
"Here, this bowl is for my good daughter-in-law Yan'er, and this one is naturally for my precious son. Hehe..."
Just as Ziyan's mind was racing with thoughts, Miao'er began to serve the soup into two bowls.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Ziyan smiled gratefully at her mother-in-law.
"Hi! We're family, no need to thank me. You two should drink it while it's hot; otherwise, it won't taste good once it cools down."
Miao'er waved her hand with a smile and began urging the two children in front of her.
"Mm!"
Ziyan finally responded with a sound, exchanged a glance with her dear Future Husband, and then they both lowered their heads to seriously drink the nourishing soup that Miao'er had personally made for them, branded as 'Mother's Love.'
In the following days, Miao'er mostly stayed indoors, and Ling Zhiyuan didn't come to visit her as obsessively as before.
After several more days, the leader of the Imperial Guards arrived with nearly two hundred guards to escort them. Ling Zhiyuan, along with Ling Yuer and Xiang Wang Lingfeng, was finally ready to leave Chu County and return to the capital.
However, for safety's sake, Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan briefly discussed and decided to send Li Bing along with over a hundred people to secretly escort them.
Since Ling Xianjun had disappeared that night, it was as if he had evaporated from the world. The officials searching for him and the personnel sent by Heavenly Pivot Sect to look for him in the martial world had found no trace of him.
Thus, both of them believed that everyone needed to be more cautious during their travels.
Just before Ling Zhiyuan left that day, he suddenly had someone deliver a gift to Miao'er. When Miao'er opened the small brocade box, she burst into tears.
Inside the small brocade box was a blue satin handkerchief that Miao'er had personally embroidered and given to Ling Zhiyuan when they first met and fell in love.
Holding the handkerchief in her hands, Miao'er cried for a long, long time...
Until the next morning, she found Ziyan and her son Ling Yuxuan and requested them to take her to see him off.
Of course, Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan would not refuse this request. So they took a carriage and followed her out of the city for nearly two miles before finally catching up with Ling Zhiyuan.
When Ling Zhiyuan saw the woman coming to bid farewell, he immediately appeared extremely flattered and surprised, with a few tears of emotion glistening in his eyes. If one were to ask what these glistening drops were, they were undoubtedly tears.
Ziyan had never expected that this Supreme One would have tears in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a bit moved.
As the two met again, Miao'er managed to control her emotions and calmly offered Ling Zhiyuan a few words of blessing and farewell.
However, that was all; in the end, they parted ways.
Ziyan could see that Miao'er still loved this Supreme One in her heart, but she felt guilty about the deceased Ling Jianyu, one of the former Three Princes. This guilt made it difficult for her to move on, and she dared not rekindle her relationship with Ling Zhiyuan.
...
Time flew by.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, during which Ziyan rarely allowed herself to rest.
Many changes also occurred among her family members surrounding her.
First was Ling Zhiyuan's return to the capital. He used these three months to completely eliminate all the treacherous ministers associated with the Crown Prince Party who had ambiguous ties with him. During this time, the Crown Prince's mother chose to commit suicide.
Secondly, Ziyan's mother and her master Qin Ming's relationship had begun to reignite.
At the same time, two and a half months ago, Ziyan and her Demon Prince personally returned to Hengfeng County Town, presumably to fulfill a promise for Ziyan.
Thus, back at their hometown, they chose an auspicious day and once again paid their respects in front of Zhou and Qin Ming.
During this period, there were some small incidents: one such incident involved Ziyan's cousin Zhou Daini and her mother. On the day of Ziyan's ceremony, these two shamelessly requested Zhou to speak on behalf of Zhou Daini, asking him to arrange for her to marry Xuan Wang Ye. They earnestly expressed their willingness for her to be a secondary consort.
On that day, this little incident received an angry retaliation from Xuan Wang Ye: he sent numerous Subordinates to throw Zhou Er and his family of four, who had come under the pretense of attending their wedding, far away from the Zi Family Spiced Braise restaurant to an Unmarked Graveyard outside Hengfeng County Town.
Moreover, he issued a stern warning that if any one of the four dared to approach the Zi Family again, the prince would certainly send someone to bury them alive in the Unmarked Graveyard.
From that moment on, even Zhou Laoda and Grandma Zhou did not dare to stand up for Zhou Er's family. Zhou herself was so furious when those people approached her about matchmaking that she nearly spat blood.
Since then, no one dared to go to Hengfeng County Town or Zijia Village to cause trouble for Zhou's family.
After the house in Mountain Valley was completed, Qin Ming often accompanied Zhou, and they began frequently traveling back and forth between the old residence behind Zijia Village and the Zi Family Spiced Braise restaurant to manage and take care of both places for Ziyan.
Because of this, Zhou and Qin Ming's feelings deepened day by day, growing stronger with each passing moment.
Whenever a Pigeon Post arrived for Ziyan, bringing news of her mother and master's relationship progressing smoothly, Ziyan felt a sweetness in her heart that was a million times sweeter than honey.
Calculating the time, Wu San had also gone through his own rigorous assessments; his supermarket was thriving under his and his sister Ziying's management.
During this time, Ziyan had deliberately tested him several times with substantial monetary incentives, but the result was always the same: Wu San's character was truly impeccable and straightforward.
Thus, during this period, Ziyan sent letters to her mother Zhou to discuss her sister's marriage with Wu San, now waiting for good news.
