Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

The waiter was so frightened that his legs were trembling. The person that Lord Xie brought yesterday was wearing a cloak, so he couldn't see her face, but he knew she was a girl.

Is he heartbroken by a girl?

fraud?

The waiter's mind raced. Xie Bohuai didn't move, and he didn't dare to move either. When Xie Bohuai turned around and looked at him, he felt like he was about to stop breathing.

Are there any horse shops nearby?

"Yes, yes, yes, it's in the stables on the east side, but the horses we sell here are just so-so, sir, what do you want..." Before the waiter could finish asking, Xie Bohuai left.

Xie Bohuai went to the horse seller, only to find that there were no horses left; the last horse had been bought by a girl the day before.

"Wearing a cloak? Is it her?" Xie Bohuai pressed.

"No, it's not an adult, it's a pretty young girl."

Delicate features?

Xie Bohuai thought of Chunxi, and after describing her roughly, he realized that she really might be Chunxi.

Didn't Chunxi have Qingshan take her to the city?

Just as Xie Bohuai was thinking this, Qingshan came looking for him. When Xie Bohuai saw that Qingshan was alone, he realized, "Liars, they're all liars!"

When I went to see Qingshan again, I thought he was a blockhead who couldn't even keep an eye on a little maid.

"Sir, that girl is wicked! She tricked me into going to the toilet, and I waited for her for ages but she never showed up. Then she rode off on my horse, and she even abandoned it halfway there! Otherwise, how could I have found her if I had followed the horse?" Qingshan became increasingly angry as he spoke, having never been tricked like this before. "I'm so stupid! Did you take her master with you? Where is she?"

"It's lost," Xie Bohuai said through gritted teeth.

"What? You lost someone too? That shouldn't be possible. You're much smarter than me." Qingshan saw his master walking out and hurriedly followed. "How did you lose someone?"

He was curious and wanted to ask what had happened, but his master's face turned gloomy, which startled him and made him freeze.

Xie Bohuai never imagined that he would one day do something as foolish as Qingshan.

He shouldn't have let Ye live alone yesterday. What about reputation? She doesn't care at all; she just wanted to escape.

The Ye family they mentioned before was probably a lie.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ye family were related by marriage, he wouldn't have brought Ye Shi all the way here; he would have abandoned her in the deep mountains and forests to be eaten by wolves long ago.

From the very beginning, he felt that something was wrong with the Ye family.

Ordinary women would be terrified of killing someone, but Madam Ye could remain calm and wary of him. She was so eloquent that if he caught her, he would definitely cut out her tongue first!

He refused to believe it; as long as the person was still near the capital, he was certain he would find a way to locate him.

There is nothing the town government office cannot do.

Xie Bohuai forcibly bought horses from a merchant caravan and galloped back to the capital.

Those who had originally wanted to see him die were all disappointed when they heard that he had returned to the capital.

Especially those princes, who were only allowed to enter the palace once they confirmed Xie Bohuai was dead. When Xie Bohuai returned safely, they were all very disappointed.

However, there was also hope that Xie Bohuai would return. Si Yan was overjoyed to see his master, saying, "You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, our Xie family would have been raided."

"Isn't it true that it's not there?" Xie Bohuai returned to his room with a gloomy expression.

Si Yan sensed something was wrong and pulled Qing Shan aside to ask what was going on.

Qingshan recounted what had happened, "It's really strange, how could so many people come to assassinate me? This time they even used poison. I almost didn't get to see you again. Waaah, Siyan, I missed you so much."

He said he wanted to hug Si Yan, but Si Yan refused.

When Si Yan learned that his master had been deceived, he became interested. "Who is so capable that they could outsmart my master?"

"She was a really, really ugly freak. I thought Master would abandon her, but Master kindly took her in, only to be deceived. You didn't see it, Master's face that day was terrifying, I..."

"Qingshan, go run ten laps."

Xie Bohuai's voice came from inside the room. Qingshan had just let out an "Ah!" when it turned into fifteen laps, and immediately covered his mouth.

Si Yan glanced at the direction of the door, wisely refrained from going in, and was about to leave when his master called him inside.

Xie Bohuai said with a stern face, "Since Qingshan has already spoken, go and investigate where these two people went. The capital city isn't that big, so we'll dig three feet into the ground to find them!"

"Understood, I understand. I'll send someone to look for him right away." As Si Yan walked to the door, he heard his master snort coldly. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This man is too bold. He actually dares to lie to his master."

Meanwhile, Ye Wanning and her servant, who had deceived Xie Bohuai, had already arrived at Princess Longyu's villa. After many years of not seeing each other, Ye Wanning's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she took out the jade pendant to send someone to announce their arrival.
