Under the marriage tree.
Xiao Hechuan looked up at the signs hanging among the branches. Among the many connected red silk threads, his and Liuyin's signs were at the highest point of the tree.
There is a rumor that the higher the sign is hung, the more likely it is to be seen by the god in charge of marriage.
Liu Yin followed his gaze and, out of the corner of her eye, caught the undisguised smile on the man's face. She asked softly, "Are you that happy?"
“Of course.” Xiao Hechuan turned to look at her. “After we leave here, I will take you to see my mother.”
"However, I don't know if she will still see me."
Xiao Hechuan lowered his gaze, his eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he were seeing her departing figure again. In truth, it had been a long time since he had seen her.
Liu Yin tightened her grip on the man's hand and whispered, "Okay."
She didn't know whether she should tell him now that his mother had died long ago.
He was consumed by worry day and night and died of illness a few years ago.
He just didn't want his son to know about this, so before he died he left behind many letters and sent a few to him every year.
She hated Xiao Yuncheng, and by extension, her son, but she still couldn't help but worry about him.
After all, the Xiao family had indeed been Xiao Hechuan's support in the past.
Even his mother probably never imagined that Xiao Yuncheng would abandon her son simply because he failed to summon her during his coming-of-age ceremony.
The two got married in Jingzhou, and the arrangements were not rushed.
Xiao Hechuan specially bought a courtyard in Jingzhou, not only to hold the wedding, but also so that he could come here to visit in his spare time.
The two stayed there for a while before preparing to leave.
Xiao Hechuan originally planned to leave on horseback using the same route he had taken, but due to Liuyin's condition, he chose to travel by carriage.
Although Liu Yin's pregnancy was unexpected, he was still quite happy about the arrival of the little one.
The man deliberately chose a gentler route, but it would probably take longer.
The journey was long, so we spent more time on the road this time.
When Xiao Hechuan took Liuyin to stay at the hotel, he overheard people talking nearby.
"Have you heard? The results of the competition among the major families are out?"
"Who won? Was it the Yue family again?"
"Of course it's the Yue family! Young Master Yue's companion beast is incredibly powerful!"
"How come I remember the Xiao family had a famous one before?"
"Wasn't that person already kicked out of the Xiao family? We haven't heard from them in a long time."
The whispers of the people around her continued to ring in her ears, and Liu Yin subconsciously looked at Xiao Hechuan beside her.
"A superior room." After Xiao Hechuan handed over the money, someone led them upstairs.
The man held Liuyin's hand with one hand and protected her from behind with the other, saying, "Watch out for the steps."
The man was handsome and tall, and his ascent of the stairs attracted the attention of many onlookers.
"I feel like I've seen that person before."
I think so too.
After Xiao Hechuan closed the door, he was met with Liu Yin's worried gaze.
"What's wrong?" he asked gently.
"Would you be upset if you heard those things?" Liu Yin held his hand.

I can't write anymore. I'm trying to finish this world quickly. The next world will probably be a romance crossover, and I'll be writing about four male supporting characters! I'll just take some time today to write the outline. It's really annoying how some people are so tolerant of the male lead's impurity—a simple "I'm not comfortable" is enough. But if the female lead has a male supporting character, they go on and on. Are they going to take a hard line against me? Can a female lead be called a heroine without a male supporting character? I don't know why, but it feels like people's tolerance for female leads is decreasing. Back in the old transmigration era, there were quite a few male supporting characters! I suddenly remembered a comment I saw before: most people who oppose double virginity are also against male virginity, because they can't bear to see their beloved male leads suffer.
