Chapter 61

“No! I don’t agree!”

When Beitang Ao came back in the evening, Lin Yanyan told him about the matter but he refused on the spot. 

“Why?”

“I said no!”

“Husband, your statement is overbearing. You did not ask General Yan, how would you know whether he agree or not? General Yan is nearly thirty years old. A man in his thirties, he should’ve gotten married a long time ago. As your number one general, he has followed you for so many years with outstanding meritorious service and record. As his master, shouldn’t you care about his life-long events?” Lin Yanyan was very surprised but her tone was still not hurried and her words were heartbreaking.

“You shouldn’t care about this matter!” Beitang Ao said coldly, got up, and left the room. 

Since returning to the Jianjing, Beitang Ao moved to the east of Shenmei Courtyard because Lin Yanyan was pregnant and inconvenient. Now although the child had been born, according to the rules, the husband and wife were not allowed to share the same room before the full moon, so he still does not stay here.

It was the first time that Lin Yanyan saw Beitang Ao refute her so coldly, which made her feel a little embarrassed and even more puzzled.

“Miss, the Sect Master seems to disagree…” Lan’er avoided the room, but she heard the conversation between the two people from the outer room. At this time, her eyes were tearful and she was very sad.

“Don’t worry, I will call the shots for you!” Lin Yanyan made up her mind.

Three days later, and it was Beitang Yaohui’s full moon ceremony. The officials and generals in the Tianmen all came to attend, and they also sent gifts one after another. Yet Beitang Ao was not very lively. He was bored with these kinds of trivial matters, but in the eyes of everyone, this is the full moon of his eldest son. Besides, Lin Yanyan’s maternal family was also high-powered, and she pays great attention to this.

Soon he became a drunk person since his body was broken. However, there were too many things that he had been worrying about recently. Wave after wave, his heart was upset, and he no longer restrained himself. After a few glasses of strong wine, a scorching heat rose like a fire. 

“General Yan, it’s been a long time since I had a drink with you. We are going to have a few drinks today!” Vice General Shen looked cheerful as if it were his son’s first full moon.

Yan Feili laughed, “Okay! I’ll have a drink with my brothers today!”

Beitang Ao listened to the sound of the orchestra on the stage. He didn’t know who arranged this, but a famous singing and dancing team in the city was invited to perform on it. In Tianmen, the restrictions were strict. It was rare to invite these outside actors. Only the activities organized by the Sect Masters of each Gate can freely arrange some programs.

It was precisely this singing and dancing team that everyone was relaxed and not detained like in the past. 

Beitang Ao scanned the surroundings, saw that several generals were talking to Yan Feili, and frowned. Also, he didn’t know who suggested seeing his second son, but Lin Yanyan asked the nurse to carry the child out. When everyone saw him, they praise the child for how good he looked and what he would do in the future.

“General Yan, when will we get to drink your son’s full moon wine?”

“General Yan hasn’t married his wife yet! Vice General Shen, you should’ve asked when we will drink the general’s wedding wine.”

Vice General Shen patted his head. He smiled and said, “Yes, I am confused, and there is no son without a wife!” 

Everyone laughed.

These generals were all a few years older or younger than him, but almost all of them had married and had sons and daughters.

“General Yan, the Sect Master’s son’s full moon, you should also consider your next life event.” Vice General Shen patted Yan Fei’s shoulder and said confidently.

Yan Feili smiled, did not answer him, just drank all the wine in one sip, his face was a little red. 

“General Yan, if you are interested in any girl, tell me. My brother and I will find someone to match you two up!” A big bearded man next to him patted his chest.

Someone yelled, “If you let Lao Zhang talk, who would dare marry General Yan! Don’t ruin General Yan’s good deeds.”

Everyone laughed even more.

Yan Feili was infected by this cheerful atmosphere, dissipated the depressed anger, and smiled, “There is no need for the matchmaker. Brothers can drink two more glasses with me.” 

Beitang Ao was there to entertain everyone but his gaze always drifted toward Yan Feili. Although the two were separated by a distance, Beitang Ao had profound skills and concentration and can still hear their conversation clearly among the noises. He can’t help but hate the people who want to match Yan Feili recently! He saw that Yan Feili hadn’t stopped drinking and felt a little worried.

As soon as the evening banquet ended, Beitang Ao sent away the guests. After he returned to the courtyard, the Yan Feili was gone.

Beitang Ao returned to Liuxiangju to see Hui’er and Li’er. For some reason, Li’er didn’t sleep at this late hour and kept pulling, crying, yelling “Daddy”. The nanny and maids on the side thought he missed the Sect Master, but only Beitang Ao and Cui Nu knew who he was calling. It took him a long time to comfort Li’er.

Beitang Ao wanted to visit the Bamboo Garden, but he met Lin Yanyan in the corridor. 

“Husband, where are you going?”

“It’s night, why haven’t you rested?”

Lin Yanyan left the maid behind her, walked to him, blushed with shame, and whispered, “Did the husband forgot that today is Hui’er’s full moon.”

Beitang Ao understood that she was suggesting but only said, “You have worked hard today. Go back and rest early.” 

Then He turned and left.

Out of Liuxiangju, Beitang Ao avoided the crowd and went to the Bamboo Garden quietly. When he pushed open the door, a candle was burning in the room, which seemed to be bright and dark, and there was a faint noise from the inside.

Beitang Ao’s expression changed, and he slowly opened the door. On the dimly lit bedroom, two people in poor clothes were entangled, and both turned their heads.
