Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 430: The Night is Late and the Wind is Calm

Spring March.

Haicheng, Yeyuan.

The breeze blew across the steps, bringing with it the rich scent of peach blossoms. Yin Luo lay on the rattan chair, closed his eyes and felt drowsy.

"Bang, bang, bang... Mom! Don't sleep! Look who's back?! Mom——"

First there was the sound of hurried footsteps, then the girl's childish voice came into his ears, and the next second, the sun visor that Yin Luo had just covered his face was torn off.

The remaining sunset light at dusk shone on her face. She frowned, yawned slowly, and sat up.

To the right of the rattan chair stood a little girl who was cheering and jumping for joy. The little girl's eyes sparkled as she pulled Yin Luo's sleeves. She wore a small dogwood pink shirt on her small body, and her black hair, which was neither too long nor too short, was tied into a small bun and decorated with a pink and white hairpin.

The little girl had a pair of upturned phoenix eyes with affectionate red on her eyelids, like Yin Luo and Chi Linjing. She had a very small nose, a chubby pink mouth, and a baby-fat face. From a distance, her little face looked like a glutinous rice dumpling filled with peach blossoms.

"Chi Fenghuan, has your mother ever taught you? No matter what big thing happens, you must first stay calm, understand? How can you shout loudly in the yard? Besides, I, your mother, just fell asleep..." Yin Luo said, pinching her daughter's chubby face.

Little Pink Tangyuan pouted in response, "Mom, I was just too excited. I didn't mean to disturb your sleep."

"Okay, okay," Yin Luo rubbed the back of her head, "Why would mom bother with you, right? So who's coming?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a young man appeared at the moon-shaped archway in the backyard. He was wearing an ivory-white robe with three mountains of green and a jade crown on his head. He looked like a replica of the young Chi Linjing. He called out to Yin Luo, "Mother!"

The word "mother" made Yin Luo dazed for a moment. She tilted her head to look at the boy. She was stunned for only two seconds, and then she suddenly laughed, "Chi Fenglin, don't you disown me as your mother? What's the matter? You went to the Twenty-one Pavilion to learn skills but were kicked out? You have no place to live so you came home?"

The smile on the boy's face fell. He lowered his posture and walked to Yin Luo, patting her legs, "Mother, you are well-informed."

"A-Lin, were you really driven out by Shang Yueyin?" Chi Linjing, who was originally reading a book in the study, opened the window and was very curious.

"Dad, please stop poking your son's heart..." Chi Fenglin scratched his head and paused his hand that was massaging Yin Luo's legs. This immediately attracted the dissatisfied gaze of the woman in red. He weakly put down his hand that was scratching his head and continued to massage Yin Luo's legs again and again.

"Tell me, little ancestor who is fearless, how could you be driven out by Shang Yue?" Yin Luo clicked his tongue in confusion.

Chi Linjing also walked out of the room and came to their side. He sat on the stone bench and greeted the little pink ball.

"That's right, me," Chi Fenglin looked very embarrassed, "Didn't Dad have a book called 'Records of Strange Locks in the World'? I found a double dragon lock recorded in the book in the Twenty-One Pavilion, and then I used your golden needle to pry open the lock... I originally wanted to take it back for research, but it was discovered by Grandpa Shang. Grandpa Shang was furious and said that I was a naughty boy at such a young age and only knew how to destroy his property. He asked me to go home and ask you two..."

Yin Luo leaned forward, thinking, it wouldn't be a big deal for a kid to practice his hand skills by picking locks?

Chi Fenglin was born with a mischievous character, but this child was very kind by nature. She believed that he picked the lock just because he wanted to, and definitely not for stealing. So after a little thought, she chose to speak to Chi Fenglin in a nice tone: "What are you asking us? Asking us how much is appropriate for you to pay him for damaging a Shuanglong lock?"

"No."

"Then are you asking us why we let you learn how to pick locks?" Chi Linjing said lazily, playing with the little pink ball's soft face.

"Not at all."

"Then what did you ask us to ask?" Yin Luo was impatient. "Grandpa Shang asked me to ask you two... How come there is a mischievous child like me..." The young Chi Fenglin lowered his head.

Yin Luo leaned back in the rattan chair, as if he wanted to take another nap.

Chi Linjing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

Yin Luo decisively raised his hands to cover his ears.

Seeing this, Chi Linjing laughed twice more, "Okay, your Grandpa Shang is just joking with you, A-Lin. Tomorrow you can go to the Twenty-One Pavilion and bring him some good wine, and your Grandpa Shang won't be angry with you. Well, there's a Qinghai banquet in Haicheng today, why don't you take A-Lin with you to have some fun?"

The two children held hands and ran out the door.

Only after they left did Yin Luo open his eyes.

Chi Linjing walked step by step to the rattan chair and pressed her temples.

"You said, we were also glorious in the past, right? How did we give birth to Chi Fenglin?" Yin Luo was very speechless, "Look at him from childhood to adulthood, first he had to follow Yu Ruyi into the Shangtianjian, then he had to find the traces of Baqing Mountain to become a disciple, and even did business with Nie Renxi. Now he has to learn the Qi killing technique from Shang Yueyin, and he was even sent back home for such a trivial matter as picking a lock... To a certain extent, he is only stable when he is embarrassed."

Chi Linjing calmed her down, "Don't be angry, what if you get sick from being angry? How about tomorrow? I'll take him to Sanzhu Valley, and he should be well behaved for a while after I come back."

"I'm afraid that when the child grows up, his heart will become wilder, and he will get involved with the martial arts world or the court." Yin Luo frowned, "If he is like Yan'er, he can stay at home honestly. You and I both know that the martial arts world is a matter of life and death, and the court is full of disputes. I don't want Lin'er to get involved with these two parties. I just hope that they can live in peace and security for the rest of their lives."

Chi Linjing raised her hand to smooth the small hillock between her frowning brows, "This is all in the future. We have all gone through so many things before we chose our current life. Lin'er and Yan'er are still young. They haven't come into contact with and experienced many things. To be honest, they don't understand what this world is like. How can we know what kind of life they want to live? I think that if they want to do something, they should do it. You and I will always be behind them."

"Just spoil them both." Yin Luo smiled. It was clear that Chi Linjing's comfort was very useful. She reached out and pinched the left side of Chi Linjing's face and pulled it. "By the way, Lin'er really looks more and more like you. When he grows up, I wonder how many girls will miss him."

"It doesn't matter. In ten or eight years, he will be taken like his father." Chi Linjing let Yin Luo pinch his face.

"A beautiful girl has a boyfriend?" Yin Luo laughed. "Are you thinking about Nie Renxi? You're even using the same nonsense words as him."

"That's true," Chi Linjing leaned over and put her head on her shoulder. "Tingxianlou is my Feng Shui treasure land. If it weren't for Tingxianlou, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met you. I wonder how Nie Renxi and Xu Jingfu are doing after their marriage?"

"Why don't we sneak back to Shangjing and give them a surprise?" Yin Luo suggested with a smile.

"As for me, I'll do whatever you say."

A prosperous and peaceful era.

The birds are noisy in the night garden, The peach and plum blossoms are fading in the spring breeze.

The disturbances in the martial arts world have long been settled, and the people of the Three Kingdoms live and work in peace and contentment. They are like a boat sailing on a long river, a handful of grains of rice in the sky, and they will also have a day of peace.

From now on, I will always have my family and close friends happily together, under this roof. No matter how time passes, wherever I look, I will see laughter.

It's late at night, the wind is still and the ripples are calm. I'd like to say goodbye to you.
