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

Xie Lingxian's face was deathly pale, and she stared blankly at Xie Bohuai's departing figure.

In the darkness, only a sliver of light entered the prison. Xie Lingxian stared at that glimmer of light and screamed and laughed hysterically.

"Xie Bohuai, come back! Come back quickly!" Xie Lingxian knew she was close to death. She banged her head against the wooden fence. After a long time, she finally saw a figure approaching.

Si Yan carried a food box. "The lord said that you are doomed to die. Since someone wants to harm you, it's better for you to go to see the King of Hell with him than to go alone."

The food box contained some food, which Si Yan laid out. "Think carefully, this is your last chance. It's fine if you don't say anything, the officials know who it is, and they'll find out eventually. You know how capable the officials are, right?"

"Can't my third uncle help me? He's all-powerful, why can't he help me?" Xie Lingxian pleaded desperately. "I just want to live, is that wrong?"

“It’s understandable that you want to live, but I can’t help you. There’s only a quarter of an hour left. If you don’t speak now, I’ll have to go,” Si Yan said.

"No, I want to tell you..."

After leaving the prison, Si Yan hurriedly returned to the Xie residence.

At this time, the masters went to the Wu family to propose marriage for him. Not long after, Le Ge'er came back from school, and he asked Le Ge'er in the courtyard what he had learned.

"Books are inanimate, but people are alive. You, Mr. Yu, are learned, but you may not know how to apply your knowledge. Le-ge'er, we'll have to rely on you from now on. Come on, I'll take you to see some other books." Si Yan was in a good mood. His young master was the future of the Xie family, and he was willing to do everything he could to nurture him.

As evening approached, Xie Bohuai and Ye Wanning returned from the Wu family's residence together. The Wu family was overjoyed and specially invited them to stay for dinner.

Ye Wanning called Si Yan over and said, "Your family appreciates your hard work over the years and has specially set the wedding date a little earlier. The fifteenth of next month is an auspicious day. Get ready, and be good to them from now on. Don't bully them."

Si Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, sir and madam. I will remember this for the rest of my life!"

Xie Bohuai hummed in agreement. "Alright, you go ahead and do your thing. We need to rest."

For several days in a row, Xie Bohuai hadn't slept in bed. Right now, all he wanted to do was pull Ye Wanning to go to sleep quickly.

Si Yan tactfully left, taking Qingshan and the other two by the door with her. "Once I get married and have my own children, things will be different. None of us have parents, so my home will be your home from now on. Come visit often."

Qingshan smiled and said, "Of course, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Just don't find me annoying later."

Zhezhu nodded, glanced back at the main house, and saw Yunzhi carrying hot water into the house.

Family?

He probably also wants to have his own home.

After delivering the water, Yunzhi left. Ye Wanning washed her face and saw the hand wrapped around her waist. She patted it twice and said, "Stop fooling around."

"Don't you miss me, Madam?" Xie Bohuai pressed himself against her.

"It really won't work." Ye Wanning exclaimed, turning around and placing her hand on Xie Bohuai's chest.

"Why not?" Xie Bohuai leaned down and kissed Ye Wanning's cheek, licking his lips with lingering pleasure. "It's getting dark now, my dear wife, can you be a little more affectionate?"

"Xie Bohuai, I really can't do it." Ye Wanning clicked her tongue. "I... I'm late for my period."

Xie Bohuai didn't react immediately, "What is it?"

"You silly goose, it's that thing." Ye Wanning touched her lower abdomen, she wasn't sure, "I haven't had time to call a doctor yet, I'll call a doctor tomorrow and we'll talk about it."

Xie Bohuai finally realized what was going on and exclaimed with joy, "You're pregnant again? Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go find her today!"

As he spoke, Xie Bohuai immediately ran out and told Qingshan to fetch a doctor.

The people in the courtyard thought their master was ill. Qingshan ran in as fast as he could, and Yunzhi came in worriedly.

After the doctor examined Ye Wanning and confirmed that she was pregnant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated their mistress.

"Madam has been working too hard lately. She's still in the early stages of pregnancy and should rest more. We can talk about other things once the pregnancy is more stable." The doctor wrote out a prescription and, seeing Qingshan approaching, quickly waved his hand, "You don't need to carry it. I'll go back myself."

Qingshan thought his master was sick and, annoyed that the doctor was walking too slowly, carried him all the way here at breakneck speed.

Xie Bohuai was overjoyed and immediately gave her a reward. He stared at Ye Wanning's still flat stomach and exclaimed, "I'm going to be a father again! I knew it! All my hard work has to pay off!"

Ye Wanning pinched Xie Bohuai, "What are you saying? There are still people around!"

Yunzhi chuckled to herself, "Madam, please rest. I'll make you some bird's nest porridge first thing tomorrow morning." With that, she quickly left and closed the door.
