In order to prevent Jiang Ling from going back and forth, Zhou Jing'an stayed with her in the Jingnan Palace for a nap and slept in Jiang Ling's Jinyun Garden.
When he came to pick up the bride, he didn't have the heart to take a closer look at the courtyard, so Jiang Ling took him to look here and there.
Zhou Jing'an listened patiently to her story about what happened in this small courtyard.
At this time, Xiaojia came over with other guards and servants.
"Young Madam, they all want to pay their respects to you." Xiao Jia bowed.
Jiang Ling turned around and saw Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin and all the people who had served her in Jinyun Garden before.
They all knelt and kowtowed in unison, "Greetings to the young lady."
Jiang Ling cried out "Ah!" and hurried over to help them up. "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you suddenly doing such a big ceremony?"
Several people stood up and looked at her with joy and longing.
Jiang Ling was also happy to see them and started asking them questions.
"Why are you four still so bored? Have you all seen your wives yet?"
"My father won't worry about you. Don't worry, if you have a girl you like, just come to me and I will find you a date."
"Bi'er, you've grown taller! Yeah, you're almost catching up with me."
"Hey, Xiao Huan, you've lost weight. Did someone bully you? Tell me and I'll avenge you."
"Zhu Zi, what are you grinning at? I heard before that you found a wife to marry, but you didn't even bring her here for me to see. Did you bully her?"
"I miss you guys too. It's not like I can't see you. Don't I always come back?"
Jiang Ling chatted with them with a smile on her face. Laughter could be heard from the small courtyard from time to time, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Zhou Jing'an watched from the side and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Jiang Ling chatting with them like friends, caring about each other, joking and laughing, he felt his heart was filled with joy.
She is like a little sun.
No matter where you go, you can bring warmth to everyone.
Jiang Ling treated them all very well, not like master and servant at all, but rather like their sister and their head of the family.
They care about this and ask about that, always treating them like children.
Several people were talking happily, but because Zhou Jing'an was here, they were afraid that he would think they were being unruly, so they didn't dare to say much.
Zhou Jing'an saw it and was about to say a few words to ease his cold image, but he saw Jiang Ling covering her mouth and yawning.
He quickly came over, gently hugged her, and asked, "Are you sleepy? Go get some sleep."
A few people also saw it and wanted to bow and ask for punishment for disturbing Jiang Ling's rest.
Jiang Ling waved her hand and said, "I'm happy to see you guys, but I said a few more words, so I'm guilty."
She turned to look at Zhou Jingan again, "But I am indeed a little sleepy."
"Then go to sleep for a while." He took her hand and pulled her towards Shenyue Palace.
Jiang Ling heard the sound of greetings behind her, turned around and waved to them, saying that they would chat again next time and asked them to take care of themselves.
Everyone responded with "Hey hey" and watched Zhou Jing'an carefully help her into the hall, with smiles on their faces.
"The young master is so kind to our young lady." Someone said this.
The rest of the people nodded.
Someone said, "Our young lady is so good, she deserves to be loved and protected like this."
Everyone nodded again.

Jiang Ling's small bed seemed to be a little difficult to accommodate the two of them, and Zhou Jingan was tall and had long legs, so it was indeed a bit crowded to sleep on it.
"Ling'er, go to sleep. I'm not sleepy." Zhou Jing'an consciously withdrew from the fight for the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Jiang Ling nodded and didn't say anything polite. After all, Zhou Jing'an often didn't take a nap and was very energetic.
She smiled and opened her arms, and Zhou Jing'an leaned over and moved closer.
Thinking that Jiang Ling wanted to pinch his face, he turned his cheek to the side, but a pair of hands reached out to hold his face and turned it around, and Jiang Ling's kiss gently covered Zhou Jing'an's lips.
He was slightly startled and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Now he would no longer say anything impolite, but he would still blush about it.
He pursed his lips, looked at Jiang Ling's smiling face so close to him, tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and lowered his head to kiss her.
Jiang Ling was dazed from the kiss and seemed to be even more sleepy.
The hand that was around his neck gently patted his shoulders twice, and Zhou Jing'an immediately let go of her, raised his head, and his eyes were a little misty and blurred.
Jiang Ling panted softly, pinched his cheek, and hummed: "I'm sleepy, let's kiss each other when we get home."
He nodded and kissed her slightly closed eyes, saying softly, "Ling'er, go to sleep."
So he stood up, tucked the quilt in for her, lowered the bed curtains, and tiptoed out to the outer room.
Zhou Jing'an strolled around Jinyun Garden and felt that this small courtyard was very similar to the feeling Jiang Ling gave him, and was particularly warm.
He felt very comfortable here. As expected, he met Jiang Ling. No matter what she was like, he liked her very much.
Zhou Jingan sat on the soft couch in the outer room, flipping through the books that Jiang Ling had read before, mostly story books, strange stories, geographical atlases and travel notes.
There were also annotations made by Jiang Ling based on his feelings. He could tell at a glance that the handwriting was written by Jiang Ling.
Suddenly, Jiang Ling's soft cry of pain was heard from the inner room. Zhou Jing'an immediately put down the travel notes in his hand and strode in.
"Ling'er? Are you feeling unwell?" Anxiety appeared on his face.
Jiang Ling half-supported her body and bit her lower lip uncomfortably.
She lifted her left leg and gasped, "My leg...is cramping."
Zhou Jingan sat down next to her, gathered her legs into his arms, and gently massaged them to soothe her tendons. Seeing her frown in pain, he gently coaxed her, "Lie down, I'll help you. Are you feeling better?"
