But in retrospect, Bai Lin’s attitude towards the Mo family’s kid had been off. Yet, it wasn’t considerate of Bai Lin to not be forthright with him.
Afterward, Wu Zhengqing had teased Bai Lin several times in the capital about this matter. When the old emperor had asked him about Bai Lin’s marital status, Wu Zhengqing had broken out in a cold sweat.
Now it seemed that Brother Bai wasn’t as honest as he had imagined. He had just returned and he had already whisked the kid away!
Bai Lin was momentarily stunned by Wu Zhengqing’s words. He nodded slightly, but before he could respond, Wu Zhengqing continued, “Ah, Brother Bai, I know you care about the Mo family kid. But you can’t ignore his family’s feelings! How could you take him away without saying a word!”
“Last night, the Mo family kid didn’t come home, and his family searched all night. Early this morning, they went to the yamen to report him missing!
You know, because of the earthquake incident, the Mo family kid has done a great service. In my father’s eyes, he’s a remarkable person who saved the entire Anping County. He’s highly regarded!
Seeing my father mobilize all the yamen servants to search, I was afraid it was related to you. After a lot of pleading, my father gave me half an hour to find you and get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, this matter could escalate!”
“Quick, tell me, where did you take him!”
Hearing this, Bai Lin twitched his mouth. Meanwhile, Mo Yi, hearing the commotion outside, rushed out and exclaimed loudly, “We didn’t go anywhere! We’re right here!”
Mo Yi’s rush caused him to forget about certain circumstances. After all, last night was their first time in this little world, and there was bound to be some discomfort. Accidentally pulling on something caused him to hiss in pain.
Seeing Mo Yi’s discomfort, Bai Lin quickly supported him and half embraced him: “Why did you rush out? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I’m fine,” Mo Yi replied. The slight discomfort wasn’t something he paid much attention to.
Wu Zhengqing, observing the affectionate scene between the couple, felt a sourness in his mouth.
“Alright, alright, I know you two are lovebirds. Come on, hurry back to the Mo family. I’ll go back to the yamen and explain things to my father. This is really…!”
After a brief complaint, Wu Zhengqing left in a hurry, heading towards the county yamen.
Bai Lin rubbed his nose in response, feeling apologetic towards Wu Zhengqing. Luckily, the situation didn’t escalate.

Initially, Bai Lin was determined to take Mo Yi away, unwilling to let his beloved leave him, without considering anyone else’s feelings.

Upon hearing the commotion, Mo Chunhua rushed out, immediately checking Mo Yi for any injuries or issues. Relieved to see her son unharmed, she couldn’t help but give him a resounding slap on the back of his head.
“You little rascal! Where did you go? Do you know I searched for you all night!”
Mo Chunhua was visibly upset, her voice echoing loudly, attracting the attention of neighbors.
The neighboring aunt, upon realizing that Mo Yi had returned, was delighted.
“The brat is back! Great! Chunhua, you stay at here, I’ll go find Dali and Anan right away!”
“Thank you, Sister Liu!”
Mo Chunhua calmed down and noticed Bai Lin beside Mo Yi. Understanding the situation, she gave the two a stern glare, then made way for them to enter the house.
Before long, Mo Dali and Mo Anan rushed back home. Seeing Mo Yi safe and sound, they were all very relieved.
“Brother, where did you go? Both Dad and Mom were so worried about you!” Mo Anan said with red eyes.
Mo Yi felt embarrassed and scratched his head.
He shouldn’t have drunk so much last night, it caused him to blackout. But before he could say anything, Mo Chunhua pointed at Bai Lin beside him and said, “It’s all because of this surnamed Bai’s brat! Tell me, why didn’t you two come back all night?”
“No, no, it’s not Bai Lin’s fault. Bai Lin finally came back and just wanted to take me to the town to eat something delicious. I was happy and drank too much. It’s my own fault for drinking without restraint. I only sobered up very late today, it has nothing to do with Bai Lin,” Mo Yi quickly spoke up to defend his partner, successfully leaving Mo Chunhua speechless for a moment.
Bai Lin didn’t expect Mo Yi to shift all the blame onto himself, and he was touched by Mo Yi’s actions. He held Mo Yi’s hand and shook his head, saying, “No, it’s all my fault. I should have informed you first. I was too thoughtless.”
Bai Lin didn’t dare to say that he had planned to secretly take Mo Yi away, so he used a more tactful explanation.
Mo Yi was worried that Mo’s parents would blame Bai Lin, so he spoke many good words and explained the events of yesterday from his perspective.
Overall, Mo Yi was in a very good mood, after all, his partner had returned.
Mo’s father and mother listened quietly, seeing the deep affection between the two, but before they could express their opinions, the gate of the courtyard rang again.
It was still Wu Zhengqing. After explaining the situation to his father, Wu Zhengqing couldn’t let go of his friend and came to the Mo family to take a look. Perhaps he could still help.
During the earthquake, the Mo family stayed at Wu Zhengqing’s house for a while, and they were very grateful for Wu Zhengqing’s hospitality.
Seeing Wu Zhengqing, they immediately invited him into the house warmly and prepared tea and snacks. This treatment was much better than Bai Lin’s.
Mo Yi looked at the snacks in front of Wu Zhengqing, then looked at the empty table in front of him and his partner. He pouted and grabbed two pieces of pastry from Wu Zhengqing’s plate and put them in front of Bai Lin, whispering, “Hurry up and eat, this green one is delicious!”
Such blatant actions made Mo Chunhua feel embarrassed to watch, and even Wu Zhengqing had to suppress his laughter, thinking that this Mo family young man was quite a thing.
Only Bai Lin, although he didn’t immediately eat, still nodded gently towards Mo Yi, smiling and saying, “Thank you, Xiao Yi, for thinking of me.”
Then, regardless of Wu Zhengqing’s presence, he took out the parcels he brought and opened them up on the table.
Mo Anan peeked inside and was surprised to see ten large gold ingots, unable to help but gasp in amazement.
Wu Zhengqing knew that these were rewards given to Bai Lin by the Emperor for his outstanding performance in the palace examination, and now he had brought them all out.
Bai Lin spoke up, “Uncle Mo, Auntie, with Brother Wu’s visit today, we can also have a witness. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I have already been admitted as the top scholar. These are the rewards from the Emperor in the palace.
I brought them here to express my sincerity, hoping that you can allow Mo Yi to be with me. I, Bai Lin, swear to the heavens that I will be wholeheartedly devoted to Mo Yi for the rest of my life. If I ever have any ulterior motives, I will die without a burial!”
The Mo family members guessed Bai Lin’s intentions when he came to be with Mo Yi today.
However, they didn’t expect him to make such a solemn oath as soon as he arrived.
Even with this oath, Mo Chunhua still had some worries. Now that Bai Lin had become the top scholar, he would definitely become a high-ranking official in the future.
These gold ingots were indeed a lot, but perhaps not much for him. As for vows, how much could they really be honored? However, before she could speak, Wu Zhengqing exclaimed with emotion, “Brother Bai, you are truly a devoted soul.
Uncle and Aunt, let me tell you, when Brother Bai and I participated in the palace examination together, the Emperor asked Brother Bai if he had any family. The intention was clear, clearly indicating the desire to appoint the top scholar as a son-in-law!
Who would have thought that Brother Bai would directly mention someone he admires, and even said that before leaving home, he had sworn to marry him as his lifelong companion if he passed the exam. If there’s any betrayal, there will be no peace even in the afterlife.
Brother Bai’s affection for Little Mo is evident to the heavens and the earth!”
Wu Zhengqing’s words shocked everyone present, and Mo Chunhua looked at Bai Lin with complex eyes. If the previous money and vows were not significant, then this was in the presence of the Emperor himself in the palace!
Bai Lin actually dared to make such a solemn oath in front of the Emperor for Mo Yi, which is equivalent to never being able to go against it in his lifetime, otherwise, it would be considered deceiving the monarch!
Now, the last concerns of Mo’s couple were also put down. They looked at Bai Lin with expressions full of affection.
They had already discussed it beforehand. Mo Chunhua stood up directly and pushed the parcels on the table back, saying, “Alright, alright, we agree to your matter. There’s no need for this money. When you two go to the capital in the future, there will be places where you need money. You can’t go there with empty pockets!”
Bai Lin didn’t expect the Mo family to agree so quickly. Although he was sincere, he thought they would struggle over the issue of descendants for a long time. It seemed that what Wu Zhengqing just said had some effect.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengqing’s visit turned out to be a good assist. Bai Lin glanced at him with some gratitude, only to see his good friend stealing glances at Mo Anan, looking obviously infatuated.
It seemed that this friend might become another relative in the future.
Mo’s couple were both reasonable and loving towards their children, but Bai Lin and Mo Yi still received a lecture for staying out all night last night. They reluctantly accepted half of the gold ingots Bai Lin brought, saying it was for Mo Yi’s savings.
Furthermore, Bai Lin and Mo Yi also wanted to redo the wedding, and they would need the help of the Mo family to organize it.
Last time, Bai Lin took Bai Rouya’s place in a coma. This time, he wanted to have a proper wedding with his beloved.
On the wedding day, the two grooms sat on high horses, wearing perfectly fitting wedding attire embroidered by Mo Anan and Mo Chunhua. One was elegant and handsome, and the other was sunny and cheerful.
Both of their faces were radiant, and occasionally, when they looked at each other, the sweet affection in their eyes was completely undeniable.
The children like Little Fatty and Shitou led the cheers, throwing flower petals and red paper at the newlyweds.
Mo Yi found it amusing, so he rode his horse a few steps faster, then remembered his partner and hurried back to him.
In the warm spring day, Bai Lin only saw petals falling from the sky, and his beloved was in red, turning his head with a brilliant smile, reaching out his hand to him.
He couldn’t help but catch up, holding that warm hand.
This person, this hand, he would never let go in his lifetime…
Okay, so the Wu guy still helped. And Ah Bai finally officially, properly married Mo Yi in this lifetime!
