Chapter 1015: 466: Terrifying Fu Lingxi!

Suo Lun returned home late at night.

He didn’t enter Zhi Yan’s room but instead went to Zhi Ning and the baby’s room.

The baby was already fast asleep, chubby hands clutching his head, body curled up to the side.

Suo Lun planned to leave immediately after checking on the baby, but unexpectedly, Zhi Ning took hold of his hand.

"Why aren’t you sleeping?" Suo Lun asked.

"I slept till afternoon today, so I’m not sleepy now," Zhi Ning said in a sweet voice. "This morning was spent by sister-in-law taking care of the baby, and you’ve worn me out, my back and waist are aching."

Suo Lun said, "How come the baby is sleeping on his stomach? That might not be very good."

Zhi Ning replied, "I can’t help it, if you turn him over, after a while, he’ll be back on his stomach again."

"I have to leave for three days to get married in Tianshui City," said Suo Lun.

"Hmm," said Zhi Ning unnaturally, "Zhi Yan already mentioned it."

"Is that why you can’t sleep?" asked Suo Lun.

"No," Zhi Ning replied, "I just slept too much during the day."

"You can’t fool me, it’s because of this matter that you can’t sleep," said Suo Lun.

In the darkness, Zhi Ning’s beautiful eyes widened and stared at Suo Lun for a long time before she said resentfully, "Yes, it’s because of this that I can’t sleep. You’re going off to get married, I’ve already borne your son, and yet I’m left nameless and unrecognized."

Suo Lun lay down on the bed and kissed her on the lips saying, "Then when I return to the royal city, we’ll also have a ceremony, just like the kind Gui Qinshao had."

The wedding between Suo Lun and Gui Qinshao is considered an unofficial marriage!

This kind of wedding is not protected by the laws of the kingdom, and any children born will take the mother’s surname, having no right to inherit from the father’s family.

Moreover, the woman does not obtain any of the man’s family properties.

In short, it is purely a wedding based on affection, not involving any property or laws.

However, this kind of wedding is recognized by the higher society of the entire Human Kingdom. Once married, it is a genuine marital relationship.

Even among the nobility, an unofficial marriage is more affirmed than a formal ceremony.

In noble society, many men and women do not have real affection and merely fulfill a family’s marriage alliance duties. After the official wedding, the man would conduct an unofficial marriage with a woman he truly loves and live together for a long time.

After such an unofficial marriage, whether the children are Gui Qinshao’s or Zhi Ning’s, they will follow their mother’s surname, not Suo Lun’s.

When they grow up, Gui Qinshao’s child will inherit the basis of Tianshui City, while Zhi Ning’s child will be a member of the royal family.

Of course, this kind of unofficial marriage is seen as an indicator of decadence, but Suo Lun is also one of the beneficiaries.

Upon hearing Suo Lun’s promise, Zhi Ning’s eyes brightened with joy, and she said sweetly, "Fine, but you must make up for the wedding vows with me. It’ll be most interesting to hold the ceremony with our child by our side."

In unofficial marriages, holding the children while taking wedding vows is indeed fairly common.

Many couples start out together due to a sudden surge of emotion but feel they can never part after the child is born, hence they proceed with the unofficial marriage.

"Are you going to Zhi Yan’s place tonight?" Zhi Ning asked.

"No, I’ll stay with you," said Suo Lun.

...

Early the next morning, after kissing Zhi Ning and her child goodbye, Suo Lun got up, freshened up, and went to the central garden courtyard.

Fang Qingzhuo was up early practicing her swordsmanship. Rarely dressed in a sporty outfit, her voluptuous figure looked especially mature and enticing, like a ripe peach ready to burst with juice at the slightest bite.

Her two daughters also followed along, practicing the sword with drowsy eyes and yawning incessantly.

Seeing Suo Lun, the two little girls threw their wooden swords on the ground and sprinted over to hug his legs.

"Uncle, you’re going back to Tianshui City, right? Remember to bring presents for us!"

"When you come back, can you bring Qin Qin with you?"

"Don’t bring Ashi Yuanba; little boys are the worst."

"Uncle, I want to keep a dog; could you please talk to mom about it?"

The two little girls chattered non-stop, like talkative sprites.

And they wouldn’t let go of Suo Lun’s legs if he didn’t agree.

"Alright, alright, I promise," Suo Lun hastily said.

"Uncle is the best, let’s wake the baby up." The two little girls released Suo Lun’s legs and took the opportunity to run off without a trace.

Their small wooden swords just lay abandoned on the ground.

Fang Qingzhuo looked somewhat annoyed at Suo Lun and said, "Suo Lun, you can’t do this, you’ll spoil them, and then I’ll have trouble managing them."

Suo Lun laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, with your gentle nature, you won’t be able to handle them."

"What should I do then?" Fang Qingzhuo asked. "Am I supposed to let them become wild girls?"

Suo Lun said, "Listen to me, let Zhi Ning handle them in the future. She’s shrewd and tricky, and I guarantee she’ll keep those two little girls firmly in line."

Fang Qingzhuo said, "You speak so poorly of her; watch out, she might kick you out of bed."

After saying that, even Fang Qingzhuo felt that her words were too frivolous and ambiguous for her to say, turning somewhat red with embarrassment and shyness.

Suo Lun wanted to tease her a bit more, but felt it inappropriate and solemnly said, "Sister-in-law, I’m returning to Tianshui City to get married. I’ll leave the house in your care for these three days."

"Mm, don’t worry, I will take good care of Zhi Ning and the baby," said Fang Qingzhuo tenderly and earnestly.

Half an hour later, Suo Lun officially bid farewell to Zhi Ning and Fang Qingzhuo. Along with Zhi Yan, Zhuang Zhixuan, and Duke Zhi Ting, they rode Griffin Beasts back to Tianshui City for a simple yet momentous wedding ceremony!
