Let's rewind to before Jiang Tian brought Xiao Linghan back to the Northwest.
At that time, he was still in prison, and Liu Jue gave him a medicine.
"This medicine is really good. After taking it, you will no longer have to worry about having children, because you will become infertile."
Liu Jue introduced it to him with a grin, "Moreover, it can also strengthen your body. Whenever it's suitable for you, you can take it and be a groom every day."
Xiao Linghan saved that medicine until the moment before going to the battlefield.
He didn't tell anyone and just took it himself.
He originally hoped that this medicine would change Jiang Tian's impression of him.
He wanted to prove to Jiang Tian that she would be the only one for him in his life.
Later he realized that he was being too sentimental, and that he would deal with these things later.
So he took the medicine, forgetting to tell Jiang Tian.
For three years, the two of them acted without restraint. Xiao Linghan even went to see a doctor, who looked at him with pity, almost telling him not to lose faith in life.
Xiao Linghan finally felt relieved.
Now that Jiang Tian brought it up, he had no choice but to recount the old story again.
Jiang Tian's eyes held a hint of mockery: "So you were already past your prime."
Xiao Linghan paused for a moment, then nodded: "...Yes."
"Alright then, let's get married."
Xiao Linghan hadn't expected the surprise to come so suddenly; he was so happy he felt like he had become several years younger.
Xiao Linghan oversaw the entire wedding, which was conducted with unparalleled solemnity and grandeur.
Everyone congratulated Xiao Linghan, saying that after many years of hard work, he had finally become husband and wife.
That night, Xiao Linghan held Jiang Tian in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes.
He nestled against Jiang Tian's chest for a long time before finally saying, "I don't care how many people are in your heart, as long as I have a place..."
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Jue has been practicing Taoism for two years.
He initially assisted the new emperor and built a Taoist temple in the palace. Later, once the new emperor's throne was secure, he traveled all over the world.
No one ever saw him again, but the thought of him living a good life somewhere kept those powerful families from making any rash moves.
One day, Jiang Zhao excitedly ran in with a carved jade pendant in his hand and shouted to Jiang Tian, "Mother, I just saw a fairy!"
Jiang Tian asked her in detail about the reason, and only then did she learn that a Taoist priest with an otherworldly air had seen Jiang Zhao, who was out traveling, patted her head, gave her a piece of jade, and then disappeared with a smile.
"That immortal is exceptionally handsome, almost as handsome as my father. Is he really an immortal?"
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "He is."
…………………………
In this life, Jiang Tian lived a very good life. Her daughter was intelligent, and Xiao Linghan practically worshipped her. Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu, who were often away on business, would also occasionally present her with some treasures.
Jiang Yu found a second husband, who doted on her rotten. She finally realized that she had to love herself first before others could love her.
With her mother by her side, Wei Jinxiu became a real little girl again. She married the son of a merchant, and the two, whose social status was not much different, lived together in great harmony.
As for Shen Yan, he eventually kept a promise made by an old friend, agreeing to protect his daughter, and later adopted his brother's child.
Despite the many years of strife in the capital, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion ultimately stood firm, never disgracing its family, and eventually becoming a respected Duke.
Even when Xiao Linghan's hair turned white, he would still smile sincerely when he looked at his wife beside him.
Jiang Zhao once asked him when he fell in love with her mother.
Xiao Linghan always smiled without saying a word.
He fell in love with Jiang Tian at first sight.
One glance is enough.
