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

As Ye Wanning froze, the city guard lifted her cloak. He was about to reprimand her, but upon seeing Ye Wanning's stunning beauty, he couldn't take his eyes off her. After a while, his tone softened considerably, "Madam, is your hearing impaired?"

"Sir, yes, I have caused you some trouble. Is there a problem with my travel permit?" Ye Wanning asked Jinjiang with her head down, not wanting to acknowledge Xie Bohuai at this moment.

However, her appearance was too striking. Not only did the soldiers guarding the city keep looking at her, but others also came over and marveled at Ye Wanning's beauty. Some even asked which family's wife she was.

Ye Wanning hurriedly put on her cloak, while Chunxi, who was beside her, took the travel pass and shielded her mistress from the side.

After they passed through the city gate, Ye Wanning saw Xie Bohuai stopped not far away. She was about to walk around him when a man stopped her.

She didn't know the other person, and the other person had never seen her before. With a lewd smile, he tried to lift Ye Wanning's cloak.

"Madam, you are so beautiful. Where are you going? Why don't you let me take you there?" Pei Xu's hand was slapped away, but he wasn't angry. He saw that Ye Wanning and her party were dressed plainly and didn't seem to be ladies from wealthy families, so he came over to talk to them.

Ye Wanning frowned slightly. "Who I am is none of your business. This is the capital city; surely this gentleman wouldn't want me to report him to the authorities?"

"Report to the authorities? Haha, you're welcome to try and see if I'm afraid." Pei Xu's words only fueled his desire to kiss her. "You can inquire about my reputation, Pei Xu. Do you think I'd be afraid?"

Ye Wanning had never heard of Pei Xu before, nor did she know who he was. She only knew that Xie Bohuai was nearby, and if she didn't return to the Ye residence soon, she would be late.

It was already evening, and it would be even more unsafe after dark. Ye Wanning angrily rebuked, "I don't care who you are. Even if you are royalty, you still have to abide by the law. I'll say it again, tell your men to get out of the way."

"What a spirited young lady! It seems this is your first time in the capital. If I refuse, what can you do to me?" Pei Xu chuckled and leaned forward, only to be punched by Ye Wanning, causing him to bleed from the nose.

Meanwhile, the onlookers whispered among themselves, saying that Pei Xu was the brother of Prince Cheng's concubine, who was greatly favored by Prince Cheng. They said that Ye Wanning was really bold to dare to offend Prince Cheng.

Ye Wanning overheard this and tried to leave with Yunzhi and the others, but Pei Xu's men wouldn't let them.

Ye Wanning had no choice but to ask the soldiers guarding the city for help, but the soldiers were in a dilemma. The Prince of Cheng was powerful, and ordinary people really dared not offend the Prince of Cheng's mansion.

Seeing that her pleas for help went unanswered, Ye Wanning prepared to reveal her identity, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, you hit me today, so I'm making you sleep with me!" Pei Xu cried out in pain, his nose hurting terribly. "What are you all standing around for? Tie them up and take them back!"

Le Ge'er was so frightened that he burst into tears. It was his crying that attracted Xie Bohuai, who looked over and noticed that the figure wearing a cloak was very familiar. In particular, he saw Chunxi!

fraud!

Those two liars!

Xie Bohuai immediately rode over, but the other man quickly glanced at him and turned away, becoming even more convinced that he was the person he was looking for. "Well, you've actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. Didn't I tell you not to lie to me, or you'll regret it!"

Xie Bohuai dismounted and walked towards Ye Wanning. At this moment, Pei Xu, still thinking about Ye Wanning's beauty, came over and said, "Lord Xie, do you know them?"

"Is he someone you know?" Xie Bohuai asked.

Pei Xu said, "She is my runaway concubine. You are a busy person, so I won't trouble you with such a small matter. I can handle it myself."

Chunxi wanted to explain, but dared not raise her head, as did Yunzhi.

Only Brother Le shouted, "We don't know you, you're a bad person!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, child?" Pei Xu had never seen anyone more beautiful than Ye Wanning. He had no idea that lust could be a double-edged sword. He scolded Le Ge'er, "What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up, or you'll be sorry!"

"Oh, so you know this conman." Xie Bohuai squinted, and when he said the word "conman," he saw Pei Xu visibly tremble.

Pei Xu: "A liar?"

“Yes.” Xie Bohuai grabbed Ye Wanning’s cloak, trying to pull it down, but then heard an anxious “Lord Xie.” The voice and the tone stunned Xie Bohuai.

It's not the voice of a scammer.

Rather, it was the voice he had been unable to forget in his dreams all these years.

At this point, Ye Wanning could no longer hide the truth, as it was getting dark. Considering the relationship between Xie Bohuai and her second brother, she could only use Xie Bohuai as a tool. She lowered her voice and said, "Lord Xie, I really have nothing to do with this scoundrel. You should know that."

After speaking, Ye Wanning slowly turned around. When she looked up at Xie Bohuai, she saw shock in his pupils, as well as some emotions that she couldn't discern.

Xie Bohuai was stunned, and Qingshan beside him was also stunned.

Can people come back to life?

Qingshan looked up at the sky. It was still dark, so how could he have seen a ghost?

And Yunzhi, didn't she die too?

Back then, only Ye Wanning's body was found, and everyone thought Yunzhi had also met with an accident. But now, Ye Wanning and Yunzhi are right in front of us.

Qingshan felt a cold sweat break out on his back. With Chunxi next to Ye Wanning, he was confused. What was going on?

"You...who are you?" Qingshan could no longer utter a complete sentence, and Xie Bohuai had not yet come to his senses.

Pei Xu glanced at Ye Wanning, then at Xie Bohuai, wondering if Xie Bohuai had taken a liking to Ye Wanning.

This is not okay.

This was the beauty he set his sights on first!

Pei Xu squeezed between the two, deliberately blocking Ye Wanning, "Lord Xie, isn't it impolite to stare at people like that?"

Pei Xu's words pulled Xie Bohuai back to reality. After confirming that he wasn't dreaming, despite the turmoil in his heart, he still looked at Pei Xu and asked, "What did you just say? She's your concubine?"

"Yes, sir, she's being naughty and ran away. I was just about to take her back. That wretched woman is so pretentious, relying on her beauty to... oh dear, you..."

Before Pei Xu could finish speaking, Xie Bohuai threw a punch, followed by another punch that knocked out Pei Xu's front tooth.

Xie Bohuai looked at him as if he were already dead. When he saw Pei Xu's servant about to make a move, he raised his hand and gestured to Qingshan, "Leave no one alive, take care of them all."

He drew his sword and chopped off Pei Xu's right hand. With a scream, Pei Xu fainted.

He had just seen Pei Xu's hand touch Ye Wanning's cloak.

The questions in his heart remained unanswered, but Pei Xu was already dead. Xie Bohuai said to the other officers from the town government who had arrived, "Take them to the town government for questioning. I want to see if Prince Cheng is willing to come and save him!"
