The Martial Doctor

"Junior Brother, did you deliberately drink so much tonight?" Sun Youwei chuckled softly, then picked up the sobering soup and brought it to Lin Miao’s lips, "Here, it should have cooled down, drink it."

Lin Miao obediently drank the sobering soup in one gulp.

"Senior Sister is indeed clever, you saw through it." Lin Miao nodded, "It’s not that I’m afraid of them, but tonight, no matter whom I call to accompany me or whose room I visit, it just doesn’t seem right."

"That’s true, now you have one a day, and on average, none of them get even three nights." Sun Youwei placed the soup bowl by the bedside.

Lin Miao gave an embarrassed smile; he really didn’t know how to respond to that.

"What’s wrong, realizing it’s difficult now?"

Lin Miao still smiled.

"Still smiling? Should I implement a plaque-turning system for you, with their names carved on jade plaques each night? Turn one over, and whoever’s name you get will come to accompany you?"

"Senior Sister, jokes like that are inappropriate. That’s something only the Emperor can do. I’m just a common man; how dare I have such thoughts."

"You do realize it’s difficult to handle this." Sun Youwei gave Lin Miao a sidelong glance.

The room fell silent; indeed, it was a hard issue to resolve.

They say love is shared equally, but how can love be equally distributed? Even the gods can’t manage that.

"What if I call them all together? Could you handle that?"

Lin Miao shivered in fright and hastened to say, "No, please don’t, I’m not made of iron, Senior Sister, don’t harm me."

"Look at how frightened you are. If you knew it would be like this, you shouldn’t have gotten involved. They’re all so dazzling to me that it’s no wonder Emperors don’t live long with their harems full of young beauties. Even I can’t handle it."

"Senior Sister, you’re a woman."

"So what if I’m a woman? Women don’t like beauty?"

"Senior Sister, don’t learn those messy things..." Lin Miao was startled and even broke out in a sweat, sitting up suddenly.

Sun Youwei gave Lin Miao a charming sidelong glance, then tapped his forehead with her forefinger: "Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I give up my position as the Lady of the Lin Family to do something disgraceful?"

"That’s good. Senior Sister, I still want you to give me a few more children."

"When you’re with them, are you purposely controlling..." Sun Youwei blushed and asked softly.

"Senior Sister, you found out?"

"Do you think they’re oblivious?"

"I’ve made it so obvious..."

"Actually, Junior Brother, there’s really no need for that. Both Liuli and Miaoxue are getting on in years; they must want children of their own."

"Senior Sister, don’t worry about this. Our child will definitely be the firstborn, ensuring the long-term stability of our family. This decision will not change." Lin Miao said seriously. What a family fears most is internal conflict.

Especially regarding heirs, eliminating all potential risks starts with oneself.

Sun Youwei understood Lin Miao’s intentions, and she was deeply moved. By leaving the first child to her, he was ensuring her unshakable position as the mistress of the Lin Family.

...

The Lin Family had a dedicated game room.

Tonight, all the women gathered there with high spirits, so they had to stay up late with the lights on. They couldn’t compete or fight in other ways.

But when it comes to the mahjong table, there’s no hierarchy.

Sun Youwei returned, surprising all the women in the room.

Yun wasn’t there; she probably didn’t want to engage in mind games with a room full of young people, so she had voluntarily gone back to rest. The remaining eight women made up two tables of mahjong.

Even the frosty Ji Fei’Er was pulled to the table. If she didn’t know how to play, they would teach her on the spot. After all, she had been watching all night, and being so smart, she’d pick it up quickly since it’s just a game.

"Sisters, hold on for a moment. Youwei has something to say." Sun Youwei walked to the center and took a small breath, speaking with seriousness.

The Lady of the house was speaking.

Everyone held their breath and listened closely. Clearly, what Sun Youwei was going to say concerned everyone’s vital interests.

"The fact that we can all gather here is a kind of fate. I hope we can maintain this bond for decades or even a lifetime without change. Some of you are meeting each other for the first time tonight, but from now on, we are family. Whether living in this house or outside, as sisters, we should support each other and face everything together. The rules should be established upfront. Do you all agree?"

"Youwei is absolutely right. Everything must have rules. Our Lin Family will undoubtedly become a top family, a clan in the future. Establishing rules is essential, and I support it." Si Miaoxue was the first to express her stance, as supportive of Sun Youwei as always.

"I also agree with Youwei." Yue Mei’Er was the second to step forward.

"Liuli, what do you think?" Si Miaoxue was somewhat surprised; Liuli had also become one of their sisters, proving that Lin Miao indeed valued her highly.

"I agree too." Liuli nodded quickly; she knew Si Miaoxue’s identity.

Lianxin and Liansuo naturally nodded in agreement too.

Baili Yuyao and Ji Fei’Er exchanged glances; they hadn’t fully integrated into this family yet. However, Ji Fei’Er wore an indifferent expression, seemingly unconcerned.

As for Baili Yuyao, she publicly recognized Lin Bei as her husband, and since she was in the Lin Family, abiding by its rules was normal, so she nodded.

The odd one out was Shi Yin, who wasn’t yet one of Lin Miao’s people but was basically decided, so naturally, there was no objection.
