Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: You’re Married?

In the presence of the City Lord, she could have her say, so it wouldn’t come to harming their marital affection just because of Lin Nian, an outsider.

"Rong’er, you must not seek out Lin Nian again, or else, your aunt will have someone send you back to the Ding Family and forbid you from entering Sky City again, understand?"

"What?!"

Ding Rong was astonished upon hearing her words.

"Auntie, you can’t do this, you should be on my side. Lin Nian is but a minor captain of the guards. For Rong’er to like him is a blessing he could never earn in several lifetimes!"

"Silence!"

The lady sternly interrupted her.

"A young lady, always talking about liking this and liking that, do you even know what liking means?"

"I..."

"Enough, go back now. Your aunt will have someone watch over you. You are forbidden from seeing Lin Nian again. If your aunt finds out you’ve seen him, then I will truly do as I say and send you back to the Ding Family!"

The lady cut off Ding Rong before she could say more and gave the order.

"Auntie!"

Ding Rong became even angrier upon hearing these words, and anxiety set in her heart.

How could she pursue Lin Nian if she wasn’t able to go out? What if his daughter charmed him again, or he went back to that shrew of a wife? What then?

"Leave!"

The lady, unwilling to see her any longer, flicked her sleeves decisively and turned away.

"Rong’er takes her leave."

Ding Rong had no choice but to retreat.

"My lady..."

After she left, a maid approached the side of the lady.

"Go, have someone keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn’t cause any more trouble," the lady instructed the maid.

In the past, she had indulged Rong’er because Lin Nian had no woman by his side, thinking that now since he had also cultivated spiritually, he might become closer to the City Lord, to the City Lord’s Mansion.

After all, if it weren’t for Lin Nian back then, both she and the City Lord would have died at those people’s hands.

But now that Lin Nian’s daughter has been found, how could she allow Rong’er to continue disturbing them? Moreover, Ding Rong had actually said that she wanted to kill Lin Nian’s daughter!

How could she permit such a thing? If word got out, wouldn’t it be said that the City Lord’s Mansion repays kindness with ingratitude?

"Yes, my lady, I will go at once."

The maid accepted the command and was about to leave.

"Wait."

The lady called her back.

"My lady, do you have further instructions?" The maid turned back and inquired respectfully.

"Go ahead, notify the City Lord and tell him that Lin Nian’s daughter has been found. Surely the City Lord will want to see her upon hearing this news," the lady instructed.

They knew very well who Lin Nian’s daughter was, and they were quite curious.

Because Lin Nian had once said that he had forgotten everything, yet, peculiarly, he remembered he had a daughter and even remembered her name.

"Yes, my lady."

The maid took her leave and exited.

...

At the Lin Family, Lin Baizhong personally prepared a large table of dishes to entertain his beloved daughter and the other guests.

"Son-in-law? Sangsang, you’re married?"

When he learned his beloved daughter was married, he frowned and looked displeasedly at Sui Zimo beside her, as if Sui Zimo had stolen his treasure.

Of course, Sui Zimo had indeed stolen something—he had won over his wife.

"Zimo pays his respects to Father-in-law," said Sui Zimo, bowing to Lin Baizhong.

"Pfft!"

Seeing his earnest demeanor, Lin Changhong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
