Tang Jian returned very late; the children had already gone to bed, unable to wait any longer.
Only Lin Zao, worried about the situation, stayed by the lamp and waited.
With a creak, the door opened.
Tang Jian walked in with a chill in his body. Although it was springtime, the weather was still a bit cold.
"It's almost midnight, why haven't you rested yet, my wife?"
Tang Jian took off the brocade robe he was wearing and casually draped it over the screen at the entrance.
Seeing that Tang Jian looked alright, Lin Zao knew that things should be fine, and her worries eased slightly.
She rushed forward and threw herself into Tang Jian's arms.
Although Tang Jian was surprised, he also enjoyed holding Lin Zao tightly, gently stroking her hair with one hand.
"What's wrong, my lady? Are you still worried about that matter? Don't worry, there are no problems with the Prince."
Lin Zao shook her head, which was buried in Tang Jian's chest, "I'm fine, it's just that my husband has had a hard time!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jian paused for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes, "Then my wife, please have some pity on your husband..."
After saying that, Tang Jian bent down and easily picked up Lin Zao, carrying her to the bedside.
As the curtains fell, they concealed the spring light from the room.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Tang Jian got up early.
Looking at Lin Zao, who was still fast asleep, Tang Jian's cold and stern face softened, and he lowered his head to gently kiss her hair.
It seems she's exhausted.
After two months of continuous travel, and then this happened upon his return, he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep. Last night, he couldn't bear to torment her any longer, and suppressed his desires after just one time.
Tang Jian tiptoed out of the room. The things he needed to do today were extremely important and could not be taken lightly.
After instructing the maid not to disturb Lin Zao, Tang Jian left the courtyard.
Just as he was about to leave the general's mansion, Tang Jian suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and went back to Ren Tianci's courtyard to call everyone to come along.
Since tomorrow is the day Lin Zao and Yue Wuyan made their appointment, he certainly wouldn't feel comfortable letting Lin Zao go alone for her safety.
In that case, he won't have time to deal with the Immortal Grass tomorrow.
The reason I called on Ren Tianci was so that he could handle the matter of the Immortal Herb in my place.
Ren Tianci's methods are no less sophisticated than his own.
Fortunately, Ren Tianci had been kept in the city by him during this time to help him deal with the spy incident and had not yet gone to the military camp.
So, early that morning, before Ren Tianci had even gotten out of bed, Tang Jian forcibly dragged him away.
Ya Ya, who had waited all night for her father but hadn't seen him, rushed to the main courtyard to find Tang Jian as soon as she woke up this morning, without even having time to wash up.
When Ya Ya learned that her father had already left, she looked miserable and pouted.
"Ya Ya doesn't like Daddy anymore~ Humph!"
Linzao had already gotten up by then. Looking at Yaya's small mouth, which could hold an oil can, she chuckled a few times.
"Ahem, your father has something very important to do. He didn't mean to leave without waiting for Yaya. Your father loves you so much. If he knew you didn't like him anymore, he would be heartbroken."
Seeing that Ya Ya's expression had softened somewhat, Lin Zao continued:
"When Father comes home tonight, Mother will have him apologize to you, okay?"
"Alright then, if Daddy agrees to my request, I'll forgive him!" Ya Ya deliberately put on a stern face.
"Forehead······"
Lin Zao wiped away her cold sweat. So in the end, only she was the one who got hurt?
