After the mask was removed, it was indeed the familiar person. Lin Yu'an's face was still as handsome as ever, and his starry eyes stared at Lu Qingyan, making Lu Qingyan's cheeks burn.
Lu Qingyan was delighted; the familiar scent was imprinted in her mind, and she quickly recognized the person. Lin Yu'an was also very happy; his wife was truly amazing, recognizing him at a glance.
Lu Qingyan was very happy, and Lin Yu'an was also very happy. Although they were happy about different things, the joy still spread between the two of them.
Onlookers, witnessing their interaction, jokingly remarked with a touch of melancholy, "The time has come; the bride can now marry the groom."
As soon as he said that, everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Qingyan shrank back into Lin Yu'an's arms, feeling embarrassed.
On their wedding night, Lin Yu'an held Lu Qingyan in his arms and asked in her ear, "Yan Yan, are you surprised?" He had put a lot of effort into coming up with this plan, and Lu Qingyan had lived up to his expectations by finding him.
Lu Qingyan muttered, "I was surprised, but I really didn't feel happy at all." Lin Yu'an chuckled, "Then... how about I make you happy?"
Lu Qingyan's mind wandered to the wrong topic. She blushed and pushed Lin Yu'an, almost knocking the unsuspecting Lin Yu'an to the ground.
Lin Yu'an was still smiling, her eyes filled with captivating tenderness.
"Yan Yan, I'm so happy." He said, which made Lu Qingyan feel a strange pang of sadness.
She reached out and stroked his eyebrows and eyes, replying, "I'm happy too."
Her silk robe was loosened, and the red waves of the quilt were turned over. After a night, the dragon and phoenix wedding candles by the bed had burned down to almost nothing, leaving only a few dim candles with flickering light.
"Yan Yan, it's time to get up." Lin Yu'an placed a kiss on Lu Qingyan's lips.
Lu Qingyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and reluctantly got up. She was so tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, but now she had to go and serve tea. Although she was quite familiar with Old Madam Lin, she had no intention of breaking the rules.
After a quick wash, Lu Qingyan and Lin Yu'an went to Old Madam Lin's courtyard, respectfully offered her a cup of tea, and called out, "Mother."
She used to call her "Grandma," but now she suddenly has to be addressed as a generation older, which makes Lu Qingyan feel a little uncomfortable.
Compared to Lu Qingyan, Old Madam Lin was much more at ease. She held Lu Qingyan's hand and said with emotion, "It is fate that we are here. Although it is different from what we decided before, you are still a member of our Lin family. Don't think too much about it in the future. Just live a good life with Yu An. As for Lin Ke..." The old lady closed her eyes hard at this point, "You don't need to worry about him anymore."
Both Lin Ke and Su's father survived in the end. Thanks to Empress Su's intercession and the imperial physician's diagnosis that they had both been influenced by the witchcraft of the Southern Frontier, which led them to commit such foolish acts, the Emperor spared their lives, though they could no longer hold any official positions.
Feeling guilty towards his wife and children, Su's father chose to travel far away. Perhaps he will return one day, or perhaps he will never return in this lifetime.
Lin Ke lost a leg in that turmoil and could only eke out a living in this courtyard. After Lu Qingyan finished serving tea, she came out and encountered Lin Ke.
He seemed much thinner than before, but the gloomy air between his brows was gone.
