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

"How could this happen?" Jiang Si had already cried once, and now her eyes were red. She asked someone to go back to her parents' home to inquire about the situation, and she was so anxious that she couldn't sit still.

Madam Lin also found it strange. "Second Master has been very careful these past few years. To avoid attracting attention, he hasn't shown his face at many shops. First Master has already gone out to inquire. Sit down and calm down. Tomorrow you might have to deal with even more things."

Jiang Si said she couldn't sit still, so Ye Wanning came over and pulled her to sit down. "I've also sent someone to the princess's residence. No matter what, the Prefect of the Capital will have to give the princess some face. Second sister-in-law, you need to take care of yourself. We haven't done anything immoral, so there's no need to feel guilty."

“But…” Jiang Si sighed, but before she could finish speaking, she said instead, “I understand the reasoning. I will persuade myself. It’s getting late, you should go back and rest.”

Ye Wanning and Madam Lin offered a few more words of comfort before leaving the second room together.

On the way back, the wind was biting cold, and Ye Wanning's hands had turned icy cold without her noticing. "Sister-in-law, do you think someone might be targeting our family?"

Lin had the same thought in mind, but she didn't want to tell Ye Wanning. She told Ye Wanning not to worry. When she got back, she saw Ye Mingde return and hurriedly asked how things went.

Ye Mingde frowned. "This is not good. The rouge shop incident is nothing, but someone died from eating the pastries, and the other party is not giving an inch and refuses to listen to our explanation. I think someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"I guessed that was the case. Everything was fine before, so is this time it aimed at Xie Bohuai?" Lin had been the mistress of the house for many years and had gradually become familiar with the methods of high-ranking families.

Ye Mingde sighed, "Wan Ning is back. Everyone knows what Xie Bohuai did back then. Since they can't deal with Xie Bohuai, they can only come after our Ye family. This time, it's probably the same thing. But don't worry, we're upright and have nothing to fear. I, Ye Mingde, am not someone to be trifled with."

He has already spent money to bribe officials to prevent his brother from suffering indebtedness at the yamen. He will investigate the rest tomorrow.

The next morning, Ye Mingde went out with his men.

Similarly, Ye Wanning went to the city gate to meet Princess Longyu's carriage and told her about her second brother.

When Princess Longyu learned that Ye Wanning already knew about Xie Bohuai's exhumation, she asked earnestly, "And what about you? What do you think Xie Bohuai meant?"

She hadn't mentioned this before because she felt that Ye Wanning had just returned and had many things to think about, so she didn't want to disturb Ye Wanning's thoughts.

Ye Wanning said she couldn't believe it. "If we're talking about liking someone, I can't see what Xie Bohuai likes about them. But if we're talking about something else, I didn't make him hate me to the point of opening my coffin. Godmother, sometimes those involved are blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. You can see what he means, right?"

“He probably likes you,” Princess Longyu gave a definite answer.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning was stunned, and her first reaction was to run away.

“Otherwise, I have no other explanation. Wan Ning, if you really want an answer, why don’t you go and ask him yourself?” Princess Longyu took Ye Wan Ning’s hand. “I will handle your second brother’s matter. Even if others are after Xie Bohuai, I will let them know that the consequences of offending Xie Bohuai are terrible, and they will regret offending me as well. As for Xie Bohuai, you can do whatever you want without thinking too much.”

At this moment, only Princess Longyu's words echoed in Ye Wanning's mind—"He probably likes you."

Where does this liking come from?
