Lin asked the question that had been on everyone's mind, and everyone looked at Ye Wanning in silence.

Ye Wanning presented her prepared statement: "Yunzhi and I were rescued by a family. Because it was so far away, and Yunzhi was injured, and I was carried by that young man, I found him to be of good character and married him. I originally planned to send someone to the capital once everything was settled, but then that family had enemies who came and chased us all the way, leaving only us, a widow and her child. I rescued Chunxi on the way. For the past three years, we have been wandering and have never had a stable life."

"Then why didn't you come to the capital sooner?" Ye Mingyue asked.

Ye Wanning sighed, "Because our enemies have been looking for us, we were found a few days ago and dare not show ourselves easily. This time we still risked coming to the capital. Yunzhi and I separated, both prepared that one of us would not make it to the capital."

It's not that I can't tell the truth, but it's really not something I can let my family know about Le-ge's background. Knowing it will only bring them trouble. It's better to leave it as it is, so they'll find it more reasonable.

Ye Mingde frowned deeply. "Just what kind of enemy is this, that they would dare to be so bold?"

“It’s all family feuds, I don’t know much about it,” Ye Wanning said.

"So where are they now?" Ye Mingde thought that if he knew the other party's identity, he could help his sister.

But before he could even ask, Old Madam Ye spoke up, "What's past is past. Wan Ning used to live under an assumed name. Now that she's come to the capital, don't dwell on the past. Her return is the best thing. And don't even think about revenge, or you'll just keep turning against each other."

Only after Madam Ye spoke up did the others realize they shouldn't have asked any more questions.

Jiang Si said considerately, "Yes, Wan Ning has been traveling and is tired. She should rest first. It's getting late, let's go back first. The courtyard where you are staying is still empty. I have already asked someone to clean it up. You can use it for tonight, and I will have someone send the rest over tomorrow."

"Thank you for accepting me, brother and sister-in-law." Ye Wanning bowed and knelt down to her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Madam Lin rushed over to help Ye Wanning up. "Sister, get up quickly. We are a family. Seeing you return safely is the happiest thing for us. I have often thought of you these past three years. It is truly a blessing from heaven that our family has been reunited."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ye Wanning was indeed tired today; she had been up all day and was exhausted.

After leaving Derong Garden, the Ye family members actually wanted to talk to Ye Wanning more, but they were afraid of disturbing her rest, so they held back.

After they dispersed, Lin and Jiang Si remained stunned, unable to utter a word on their way back.

Jiang Si and Ye Mingyue returned to the second house. Ye Mingyue couldn't sit still. "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the ancestral graves and send away that unlucky thing."

“Then you must give her a proper burial, so as not to tarnish Wan Ning’s good karma,” Jiang Si said.

“I know, I’m not as impulsive as I used to be, I know now,” Ye Mingyue said. “I really didn’t expect Wan Ning to come back alive. It’s truly a blessing from God that gave our family the chance to reunite.”

"Yes, Wan Ning is back, and I'm so happy. But what about Xie Bohuai..." Jiang Si paused. Everyone knew that Xie Bohuai went to dig up a grave three years ago. Now that Wan Ning is back, will Xie Bohuai propose to her?

If Xie Bohuai were to propose marriage, what should their family do?

Xie Bohuai's reputation is now utterly ruined, having offended almost all the powerful figures in the capital. They have formed marriage alliances with Xie Bohuai, but if he falls from grace, can the Ye family handle the consequences?

Ye Mingyue quickly understood Jiang Si's concerns. "I'll go see Xie Bohuai and ask him what he thinks. But if Wan Ning is unwilling, no matter how powerful he is, it's useless. Our family will absolutely not force Wan Ning to curry favor with the powerful!"

“Of course, she’s already been married, she must be feeling bad, we can’t pressure her.” Jiang Si and Ye Mingyue were talking about Ye Wanning, unaware that Ye Wanning had just entered the house when she saw a figure sitting inside.

Ye Wanning's heart trembled violently, "Thank...Thank you, sir?"

She thought to herself, "This is it, they've come to settle scores with me."

It's because she lied to him.
