Chapter 1208: The Late Reward Arrived!
doing. It seems this inn doesn't have the custom of proactively providing hot water to guests."Even guests staying in the most remote rooms complained as they passed our door, saying that the young me...In the end, the Marquis recovered much. After understanding the whole story, he said, "She hurt me unintentionally. But her reputation was harmed because she saved me. I cannot let her already difficult life suffer more setbacks!"
"If she doesn't mind my living in seclusion, I would be happy to have her as a companion. But if she does find it objectionable, I wish to ask the old woman to take her in as her adopted daughter and find her a good husband. I will provide her dowry."
The old woman and the others were all surprised.
The Lord acted openly and honestly, as everyone knew. It was expected that he wouldn't want to cause any more trouble for the young lady.
But he was keen to keep the girl by his side, for life as a companion, which is truly rare.
The old woman probed, “This girl has a blessed face and a gentle disposition. What’s even rarer is that she has her own opinions. If she were to be your companion for life, you would surely live happily ever after as husband and wife...”
The Lord didn't speak, but his ears turned red.
The old woman immediately ordered everyone out and then secretly asked Jiayin.
Jia Yin heard that her stepfather had this in mind, she was both happy and sad.
Others may not speak, but grandma can't hide it.
So, she quietly whispered the truth to Grandma's ear.
When my stepfather fell ill, his whole body was covered in frost. The fact that he survived is probably because someone stripped him naked and put him in a bathtub of hot water, or perhaps someone even used him to warm themselves!
Needless to say, whatever the method, she made too many sacrifices.
This girl, unexpectedly, understood medicine but wasn't particularly skilled. She hadn't expected Jiayin to see through her, and she certainly didn't know that for three days, the Marquis couldn't move his body but remained fully conscious!
Li Laotai was overjoyed and immediately gave the whole family a hint, summing up with the highest mission of matchmaking the Houye and Yu Gu for marriage.
Especially the head steward of Hou's mansion, that night he knelt on the ground, offering incense to the ancestors of the Ye family and kowtowed countless times!
After the old woman, Li, held her hand and spoke to her at length for half the evening, the rest of the time was spent weeping.
A lifetime of misfortune, the sorrow of losing parents and loved ones, the fear of living alone, all seemed to find an outlet on this night.
That handsome and valiant man, because she suffered, did not blame her.
That person said, respect her choice, if she is willing, she will have someone to rely on for life...
The sun rises and the moon sets, time flies like an arrow.
The Lord came to this island for recuperation, and the young lady accompanied him to take care of him. In a blink of an eye, it had been a long time.
Everyone on the island is family, it's peaceful and beautiful.
In the absence of any idle gossip from outsiders, and any anger or sorrow, there is only a life flowing with beauty everywhere.
A hero who has gone through hardships, accomplished his national duty, and returned to seclusion.
A woman whose heart has been wounded by the world, longing for tenderness and a harbor to rely on.
Day after day, amidst their shared meals, lodgings, and travels, as they engaged in leisurely pursuits like drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting, the two grew closer and closer…
Finally, they're married!
"County Princess" Yu Su'ning saw Jia Yin daze again, helplessly smiled and gently patted her hand, "Is something on your mind Why are you always spacing out"
Jia Yin returned to her senses, coughed twice, and said jokingly.
"The biggest thing I can do is help my stepfather bring my stepmother home as soon as possible. "
At this moment, most of the family members have arrived and it's quite noisy. I'm afraid my mother-in-law is hungry, so I brought her a plate of snacks. It's fine for others, but if my mother-in-law gets too hungry, my father-in-law will surely feel sorry for her.
She spoke in a pitiful voice, "Oh, my stepfather used to love me the most. I'm afraid he won't after this. He might not love me as much anymore since he has his new wife and two younger siblings. I'll definitely be left out."
"What are you whispering about behind my back again while I'm away!" The Marquis walked in from outside with Mu Xu, catching the tail end of a sentence and chuckled as he raised his hand to tap Jia Yin's head.
Jia Yin covered her head and stuck out her tongue in protest, "My adoptive father is biased! Why didn't he knock on my adoptive mother's door He must have forgotten about his daughter now that he has a daughter-in-law."
Yu Su-ning blushed and glared at the Marquis, asking, "Didn't we agree that we couldn't meet before the wedding day"
The lord flung open his long robe and sat down, raising a hand to pour himself a cup of warm tea. He pushed it toward her and replied, "We married because we were happy with each other. What does it matter if we don't follow the customary rules for our wedding"
Yu Suening blushed even deeper and whispered, "It rained last night, did your knee ache again I sewed two cloth bags, and I heard that applying hot salt to the knee is best. When you have some free time, try it."
"Good," the lord replied with a smile.
Mu Xu leaned against the door, smiling strangely.
Time has been kind to him, stripping away his former ruffianish air. He is now more muscular and tanned from working on two boats and shouldering some of the family responsibilities, giving him a much more mature presence.
But occasionally, a twinkle in his eyes betrays a hint of both righteousness and cunning, making one suspect that his nature is far more complex than he lets on.
Jia Yin tugged at his sleeve, and the two of them quietly retreated from the room, leaving the world to the happy newlyweds.
The sea breeze was still tirelessly blowing, the waves crashing against the rocks, falling white foam shards, startling seagulls flying everywhere, their cries echoing all around.
Jia Yin and Mu Xu went to the beach first. Jia Yin took off her shoes, and her little feet stepped on the soft sand, feeling extra comfortable.
Mu Xu walked backward, muttering to the girl he had guarded for several years.
"The Lord has already gotten married, so when can we get mine on the agenda My older brothers always say they want to test me, but every time I pass, they come up with new ideas. This way, I'm afraid I'll be a bachelor even when my beard is long!"
Jia Yin thought about how her brothers would always get together and rack their brains trying to outsmart Mu Xu, she couldn't help but laugh.
The girl's smile was radiant and bright, unlike the wooden doll-like maidens confined within the inner courtyard. It was so unrestrained and bold.
Even if Mu Xu had seen it ten thousand times, his heart would still beat non-stop.
He suddenly grew bold, stepped forward, and kissed the girl on her forehead...
Jia Yin was startled and just about to speak when a loud shout came from afar!
"You little brat, dare to bully my sister!" It turned out that Jia Yi and Liu Yang had come over.
Mu Xu turned his head and ran, while Jia Yi and Liu Yang chased after him.
Jia Yin carried her shoes, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.
Suddenly, she felt as if a bubble had burst in her mind. She instinctively plunged her mind into the space and then laughed even brighter!
She, having traveled thousands of miles to rescue the lone mountain, could also be considered a hero who contributed to unifying the country.
After such a long wait, the reward has finally arrived!
In space, all the land turned into a pitch-black color like a nursery. The forests that were obscured by gray mist also came out...
Needless to say, she'll be busy again soon and will have to replan her little world.
"I'm not sure if people are allowed inside, though."
If it's possible, send her loved ones in to take care of her little world, and she can just keep slacking off...
After climbing up a towering reef in just a few steps, Jia Yin gazed at the azure sky and cerulean sea, stretching out her arms!
The sea breeze seemed to lift her up, allowing her to soar freely between heaven and earth!
She didn't know if she was brought here by chance, or if there was a purpose behind it.
But she tried hard and now she has such happiness!
No one can tell what will happen in the future, how much joy and sorrow there will be, but she will still walk on with determination, bravely facing everything!
The sea wind grew stronger, and Mu Xu and Jia Yi Liu Yang from afar watched the girl on the rocks. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and for a moment, they even thought she would be blown away by it.
“Good girl!”
"Princess!"
"Sister County Princess!"
Three people exclaimed in unison and ran towards it.
Mu Xu reached out his hand, standing under the reef, and called out in a trembling voice, "County Princess, it's time to go home, Grandma is waiting for you to eat!"
Jia Yin turned her head and saw their expressions. She couldn't help but smile. With one hand supporting Mu Xu's arm and the other holding her skirt, she jumped off the reef gracefully.
Great, let's have dinner at home!
The three of them let out a collective sigh of relief. Mu Xu even held Jia Yin's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.
Jiayì and Liú Yáng saw each other, each turned their heads as if they hadn't seen the other.
How far he walked, Mu Xu turned back and forgot the rock.
Come tomorrow and bring people to break up this rock and move it away!
No one can snatch away his beloved girl, not even a stone or heaven itself!
Perhaps sensing his frustration, the waves beat against the rocks with even more force. For a moment, they surged skyward in a flurry of foam, creating a breathtaking spectacle as they crashed and rolled back down.
