Today is my senior sister Sun Youwei’s birthday.
Waking up early in the morning,
Lin Miao went to the kitchen personally, fetched water, made dough, and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles with two poached eggs for Sun Youwei.
He personally brought the noodles to Sun Youwei’s room.
"Senior sister, today is your birthday. In the past, it was Master who cooked longevity noodles for you. From now on, every birthday, I will be the one to make noodles for you."
When the bowl of noodles was placed in front of Sun Youwei, her eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.
"Junior brother, thank you for rembering my birthday."
"Of course, you are my senior sister and my future wife. From now on, every birthday, I’ll cook you a bowl of longevity noodles." Lin Miao took out a clean handkerchief and handed it over, "Wipe your tears, and eat the noodles while they’re hot."
"Mm." Sun Youwei took the handkerchief, nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating the noodles.
"Tasty?"
"Tasty, the noodles you made are really delicious."
"In the evening, I want to call everyone at ho, make a table of dishes, and celebrate your birthday. How about it?" Lin Miao said softly. In this world, Sun Youwei was his first family mber. The line between affection and love had long blurred.
"Isn’t that too much trouble? I’m just having a birthday." Sun Youwei, by nature, preferred simplicity. Such a grand gesture made her sowhat uncomfortable.
"Just family, plus Shi Yin and Liu Li, and Mr. Su and Xia Zhu. No outsiders."
"Okay then." Sun Youwei hesitated for a mont and nodded.
...
After half a month of treatnt, Lady Bai Feng was recovering well. She could already get out of bed and move around, and her wound healed better than expected.
"Auntie looks quite well today, and her pulse shows no major issues." Lin Miao would give her a routine check-up every day.
"Thank you so much, Lin Miao, my dear nephew." Bai Feng felt she had dodged a bullet. If it weren’t for trusting her son, things might have turned out badly.
"Auntie, you’re blessed with a long life ahead!"
"Dear nephew, Auntie has sothing to ask of you." Lady Bai Feng sounded hesitant, as if she had an unspoken concern.
"Auntie, what is it?"
"That scar on my stomach from the cut, could it..."
Lin Miao chuckled. Ah, won, no matter their age, can’t escape the love for beauty. That scar indeed affects appearance, especially in sumr when wearing light clothing or in the presence of loved ones, it becos quite a concern.
"Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll get you a scar-removing ointnt that not only safely removes scars but also makes them almost invisible on the surface."
"Really?!" Bai Feng exclaid in surprise.
"Of course it’s true. Don’t you believe ?" Lin Miao smiled.
"I do, you’re the one I trust the most now." Lady Bai Feng said happily. Even though she was Su Qi’s legitimate wife, Su Qi didn’t only have her. n always like the young and beautiful. Although Su Qi no longer dallies outside, the won at ho aren’t easy to deal with either...
"Dear brother, my mother didn’t ask for anything excessive, did she?" Su Chen asked as he returned and bumped into Lin Miao.
"No, what could Auntie ask for that’s excessive? Mr. Su, you’re overthinking." Lin Miao shook his head with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Su, your mother has been injured for a while, yet we haven’t seen your father..."
"My father wrote that sothing ca up at the family horse farm, and he couldn’t leave. Since my mother is fine now, he won’t be coming over for the ti being." Su Chen explained.
Lin Miao nodded. Although the Su Family was the wealthiest in Lanzhou, being the wealthiest wasn’t easy. Su Qi, the leader, wouldn’t have reached this point without so skills.
"No worries, I just asked casually, don’t mind it."
"By the way, dear brother, isn’t today Lady Youwei’s birthday?"
"Yes, I was going to notify you, but you already know."
"Why didn’t you tell earlier? I could have prepared a birthday gift for her!"
"It’s just an ordinary birthday, there’s no need for that."
"That’s not right. On my sister-in-law’s birthday, as her elder brother, I must show a gesture." Su Chen said seriously, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to pick an appropriate gift for her."
...
Inside the study.
"Mr. Lin, why didn’t you co to my loft today?" Qin Yanran erged from the secret door gracefully, with a slight enchanting smile at the corners of her eyes.
"Speak if you have sothing to say." Lin Miao didn’t bother correcting her address as no matter how much he corrected, she wouldn’t listen.
"I heard today is Lady Youwei’s birthday. Should I arrange for Huaye Tower to close for her birthday celebration today?"
"No need, I don’t have the money, nor do I need it."
"No charge. Just nod, and I’ll handle it imdiately." Qin Yanran said.
"No thanks, we will just have a family dinner tonight, that’s enough. My senior sister doesn’t like extravagance." Lin Miao replied.
"Can I join in for so fun?" Qin Yanran stepped forward, almost whispering against his face.
"Qin Yanran, what are you trying to do?" Lin Miao put down the dical book he was holding, "I’ve told you before, I’m not interested in you."
"Really? That day when I took you over the wall, you reacted, didn’t you?" Qin Yanran chuckled softly.
"It was just a normal physiological response, nothing special. It would have been the sa with anyone else." Lin Miao replied without blushing or gasping.
Won like Qin Yanran, who are at the level of being enchantingly beautiful, undeniably have allure for n. But such won aren’t ones you can get entangled with casually; you might end up in trouble before you even enjoy anything.
To say, if he had only his senior sister Sun Youwei as a woman in this lifeti, he might not be able to do it, but Sun Youwei would definitely hold the status of the Lin Family’s main wife, that is without any issue.
"Alright, but I’ll co again tonight." Qin Yanran, feeling sowhat disappointed, then retreated through the secret passage.
Lin Miao watched Qin Yanran’s departing figure, and he had long been considering whether to seal off this secret passage.
This demoness clearly harbored ill intentions toward him, and if she really attempted a forced move on him, he might not be her match.
If this woman resorted to rogue tactics, a man wouldn’t be able to withstand it, especially one of such nation-ruining caliber.
He was still young and couldn’t let her ruin him.
No, he needed to practice his skills!
A man must remain strong, if unable to fight, he could always open another battlefield.
...
"Didn’t succeed?" Seeing Qin Yanran return with an unwilling look, Long Po, who had recovered a lot, looked at her apprentice and gave a dry laugh.
"In broad daylight, I can’t just pounce on him, can I?"
"He’s very wary of you. If you really want to have a successful liaison with him, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Long Po said.
"Master, what do you want to say?"
"Next ti he cos, I’ll make the first move to subdue him, and then you can take him." Long Po said, "You’re still a virgin, as long as he knows this, and he’s likely experiencing his first as well, a man’s first ti, and a woman’s first, both have special emotions, ensuring he won’t forget you in the future."
Qin Yanran’s expression beca a bit unnatural after hearing this, although she had made those "seductive" moves toward Lin Miao, she hadn’t really considered truly getting involved with Lin Miao so soon.
"Master, wouldn’t doing this make seem too debased?"
"Yanran, how many levels have you reached in your Charm Girl Heart Skill?"
"The fifth level."
"Your current cultivation should be at the mid-stage blood fusion, right?"
"You know the essence of our sect’s Charm Girl Heart Skill’s rapid advancent also cos with quite apparent side effects. You now need to indulge in self-pleasure daily, which is not a sustainable solution, you understand what your master ans, right?" Long Po said slowly.
"I understand, Master, how did you solve this issue back in the day?"
"I spent ten whole years with a monk from the Reclining Buddha Temple." Long Po said unabashedly to her apprentice.
"Ah?"
"Yanran, you’ve finally t a man who excites you, don’t let it slip by. If he hadn’t been unwilling to leave monkhood and be with , I might not even be your master today." Long Po recalled this past, speaking with emotion.
The Moon Worship Sect was deed "demonic" by the martial world, such unconventional conduct undoubtedly exceeded normal understanding.
"Master, he’s only sixteen..."
"Sixteen is a little man, possessing all the necessary abilities, and for soone like him, the benefit to you is even greater. Haha, he did save my life, and I am not the kind of person who doesn’t repay kindness." Long Po chuckled, pulling out a thin booklet from her bosom, handing it over, saying, "This ’Locking Yang’ thod, give it to him, and it will definitely benefit him in the future."
"Master, where did you get this ’Locking Yang’ thod?" Qin Yanran couldn’t help blushing, curiously asking.
"There’s a technique at the end of this, let him master it on his own, if he thoroughly comprehends it, both for you and for him, it’s indescribably wonderful." Long Po said.
"Master, could this have been left by the monk from Reclining Buddha Temple?" Qin Yanran’s eyes turned, seeming to have guessed a possibility.
"You cheeky girl, if you don’t want it, just return it to !" Long Po snorted coldly, extending her only functional right hand to try and take back the booklet.
"Master, you’ve given it, so how could you take it back..." Qin Yanran lightly tapped the ground, and her body floated seven or eight feet away. This good thing, even if it’s not usable now, might be in the future.
Young man.
Old bull eating young grass.
Just thinking about it felt thrilling!
...
"Mr. Lin, the situation is like this, Xiaolian is now holess, and my family has no one to care for her, so I thought to bring her to your place. Rest assured, all her expenses will be covered by ..." Xia Zhu nervously looked at Lin Miao.
Today was the wife’s birthday, she didn’t want to upset things, but she really couldn’t think of a better solution.
They couldn’t let her continue wandering on the streets, in this cold weather, without a place to live or food, sick as she was, she might not survive the night.
Lin Miao looked at Xia Zhu, uncertain how to speak, wanting to refuse, yet feeling pity in his heart.
So things just couldn’t be reasoned out.
This Xiaolian suffered a great blood loss due to "ectopic pregnancy," barely saving her life, but after returning to her husband’s family, not only did she receive no care but was also deed an "inauspicious person" and cast out.
Originally, she could have returned to her parent’s ho, but they too thought of her as a "calamity star," unfortunate, and barred her entry.
A girl only twenty years old ended up on the streets. To survive, she even considered selling herself to a pleasure house.
All mainly caused by society’s ignorant perceptions and the daunting power of public opinion.
"Ectopic pregnancy" was due to issues with embryo implantation, leading to abdominal pain and severe bleeding; once the embryo detached and bleeding stopped, the problem was resolved, and this wouldn’t necessarily affect future pregnancies.
However, so superstitiously claid that Xiaolian carried a "fleshy monster" that not only would prevent future childbirth but would also doom her husband’s family.
The spreading of rumors led Xiaolian’s husband’s family and her own to believe it.
Thus, the husband’s family issued a divorce letter, abandoning Xiaolian, who, distressed and despairing, initially wanted to return to her parents’ ho.
Ultimately, her family refused her return, as won divorced were seen as having "fallen short of womanly virtue" in the village, leaving Xiaolian holess. Xia Zhu, having always cared for Xiaolian and seeking news far and wide, found her about to sell herself to the pleasure house and brought her back.
