Leng Xiao attempted to use Ling Yuan's jewelry to make some business, but things did not go as planned, and he ended up in a dire situation.
With no other choice, he returned to his old profession of selling paintings, while Ling Yuan supplemented their household income by doing some needlework.
In the three years after their marriage, although they lived in poverty, they enjoyed a peaceful and harmonious life.
One day, rumors spread that ginseng was growing on Wu Cang Mountain, and it could fetch a good price at the market.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan decided to go pick some with her neighbors. Wu Cang Mountain was shrouded in mist year-round, and when Ling Yuan turned around casually, she was horrified to find that her companions had completely vanished into the thick fog.
Panic set in as she anxiously called out, her voice echoing in the dense mist, but there was no response.
At that moment, Ling Yuan stepped onto a patch of soft ground, losing her balance and teetering forward, on the verge of tumbling down the steep slope.
Just as she was about to fall, a strong hand firmly grasped her, accompanied by a voice saying, “Be careful!”
Ling Yuan's legs trembled uncontrollably, her heart raced violently in her chest as if it would burst free. After a while, she managed to calm herself down slightly.
It was then that she realized she was nestled in someone else's embrace. A flush crept onto her face as she hurriedly pushed the person away and softly said, “Thank you for saving me, sir.”
Ling Yuan looked up to see a man dressed in a Purple Robe and Gorgeous Attire, his features enchanting and unlike any ordinary person.
Instinctively taking two steps back, she was caught again by him. He said, “Miss, if you take another step back, you will fall.” Then he added, “Miss, there are many monsters on Wu Cang Mountain; let me escort you down.”
Ling Yuan lowered her head and obediently followed him, completely unaware of the faint smile that curled at the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of mischief.
After Ling Yuan had been missing for several days, Leng Xiao was frantic with worry. He quickly enlisted the help of a neighbor to search the mountains. However, the thick fog made the search incredibly difficult, and they had yet to find any trace of her.
When the Ling Family Patriarch learned of this, he was furious and slapped Leng Xiao hard across the face in front of everyone. He shouted, "Is this how you take care of my daughter? Letting your woman go out to earn money—what kind of man are you?"
Leng Xiao felt utterly humiliated and lowered his head in shame, admitting his fault. "It’s my mistake. Please, Father-in-law, help me find Ling Yuan."
"Who is your father-in-law! Once we find Ling Yuan, I will take her back!" the Ling Family Patriarch retorted angrily.
Soon after, all the servants of the Ling Family mobilized to search the mountains together.
At that moment, the fog grew even thicker, making it difficult for everyone to move forward.
Suddenly, they heard a clear sound ringing through the mist, like silver bells chiming, which stood out starkly in the silent forest.
Everyone was taken aback as they saw a woman in a purple robe and long skirt slowly emerge from the fog, carrying none other than Ling Yuan on her back.
The woman asked, "Are you Ling Yuan's family?"
It was truly a miracle that Ling Yuan had been missing for seven days and was now found safe and sound.
She politely declined her father's offer to take her back home and firmly stated, "In life, I belong to Mister; in death, I will be with Mister."
madam Hu said with a hint of envy, “Sister, your deep feelings are truly admirable.”
madam Hu was the woman who had escorted her back that day. As she had just arrived and had no place to stay, Ling Yuan kindly offered her temporary shelter.
Upon hearing this, a blush crept onto Ling Yuan's face as she shyly replied, “ sister Hu, you mustn't laugh at me.”
Leng Xiao furrowed his brow slightly and asked with a hint of irritation, “Where have you been these past few days? Didn’t you know how worried we were?”
Ling Yuan frowned slightly, trying hard to recall, “I got lost in the mountains…”
However, no matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn’t piece together what had actually happened.
Seeing the pained expression on her face, madam Hu quickly intervened, “It’s fine now that you’re back, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing this, Leng Xiao felt it was inappropriate to press further.
