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

When Ye Mingyue saw Xie Bohuai in the backyard, his first reaction was to hide the account book in his hand. Soon, he realized that this was unnecessary and chuckled as he asked Xie Bohuai why he had come.

"You haven't heard about what happened at the polo field today?" Xie Bohuai asked.

Ye Mingyue shook his head.

“Princess Zhaoyun hit your younger sister, and Prince Hui’s mansion suffered a loss. Be smart these days.” Saying this to Ye Mingde would be useless, but Ye Mingyue was quick-witted and only came to give instructions when Xie Bohuai was about to leave the capital.

Upon hearing that his sister had been beaten, Ye Mingyue immediately flew into a rage. "Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she's a princess? This is outrageous! I'm going to report her!"

Xie Bohuai stopped Ye Mingyue, "Princess Zhaoyun will be sent to Jing Shui Nunnery. I'm just here to remind you to avoid people from Prince Hui's Mansion in the future." Otherwise, you might suffer losses.

Ye Mingyue thanked Xie Bohuai, but was anxious to go home to see his sister. When Xie Bohuai said he had to leave, he didn't try to stop him.

He hurriedly returned home. Seeing that his sister's cheeks were still red, Ye Mingyue felt even more resentful towards Princess Zhaoyun. "Don't worry, sister, one day we won't have to fear Prince Hui."

“Brother, you don’t need to worry about me.” Upon learning that Princess Zhaoyun would be sent to Jing Shui Nunnery, Ye Wanning knew that the changes in this life had been earth-shattering. “Princess Zhaoyun has received her retribution. Lord Xie is right. Our family should stay far away from Prince Hui’s mansion from now on.”

If she remembered correctly, Xie Bohuai left the capital this time because of the envoy from Wusu.

"Lord Xie is kind enough to remind me. I'd like to trouble my second brother to make a trip for me and tell Lord Xie to be more careful about the people around him." Ye Wanning didn't want to say too much, as Xie Bohuai was a meticulous person and she was afraid of arousing his suspicion.

But she knew that Xie Bohuai would be ambushed on this trip out of the capital. Although his life wouldn't be in danger, he would botch the operation and be reprimanded by the Emperor. This was the reason why Wusu turned against her, leading the Emperor to later order Xie Bohuai to lead troops to attack Wusu.

Ye Mingyue didn't quite catch on. "Why don't you say that yourself?"

"I am a woman, so it is inconvenient for me. Second brother, please don't say it was my reminder. You have a good relationship with Lord Xie, so as a friend, it is normal for you to give him a heads-up." Ye Wanning said she was tired and needed to rest.

Before it got dark, Ye Mingyue sent someone to deliver a message to Xie Bohuai.

For the next few days, the Ye family did not go out. It wasn't until Princess Zhaoyun was sent away and Ye Mingyue's wedding date was approaching that everyone gradually forgot about the polo field incident.

The busiest people in the household were Madam Lin and Ye Wanning. The Jiang family valued rules and regulations, and Madam Lin was responsible for overseeing everything, big or small. Ye Wanning, on the other hand, was teaching her two younger sisters household chores; the sisters were old enough to learn these things long ago.

Ye Wanyu was impatient, but was forced by Aunt Cheng. After looking at the account book for a while, she complained, "My dear sister, can you let me rest for a while? I'm really tired."

Ye Wanning saw through her sister's little scheme at a glance. "No, if you slack off again, I'm going to find Aunt Cheng and have her nag you."

Aunt Cheng couldn't do anything to Ye Wanyu, but she could annoy Ye Wanyu to death. Helpless, Ye Wanyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and learn.

Ye Wanhua, on the other hand, was much more composed and did not move from her seat once she sat down.

This continued until August, with only three days left until Ye Mingyue's wedding.

Ye Wanning wasn't worried about her second brother's marriage; she was just wondering why Xie Bohuai hadn't returned yet.

In his previous life, Xie Bohuai returned two days earlier, carrying the corpse of the Wusu envoy. He was punished by the emperor and made to stand outside the main hall, where everyone who passed by would see him.

Two days have passed. Has something happened to Xie Bohuai again?

When this thought popped into her mind, Ye Wanning couldn't help but feel anxious. That's why her sister-in-law suggested going to Ganye Temple to offer incense. She thought that Xie Bohuai had helped her several times and planned to go back to the next grade to pray for Xie Bohuai's well-being.

Inside the carriage, Madam Lin said with a smile, "I'll go pray for marriages for the three of you later. Now that my second brother's marriage is settled, your eldest brother and I are most worried about the three of you."

Ye Wanyu was focused on getting out of the house and didn't care about the marriage. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. If it's meant to be our marriage, it will happen at the right time. If it's not meant to be, you can't force it. You don't need to pray for me. Pray for my eldest sister and third sister a little longer and share my marriage with them."

"Do you not want it, or do you already have someone you like?" Ye Wanning asked.

"Big sister, I... I've been learning housekeeping from you every day. Don't you know what kind of people I come into contact with?" Ye Wanyu turned her head away, but Ye Wanning saw that her younger sister's earlobes had turned red, and she knew at a glance that her sister had guessed correctly.

It's normal for a young girl to have feelings of first love, so Ye Wanning didn't expose her sister's little secret. She silently searched her memory and tried to guess which family's young master it was.

The carriage stopped behind Ganye Temple, where monks led them inside to burn incense. Lin prayed to Buddha with great devotion, and Ye Wanning also prayed for Xie Bohuai.

Ye Wanyu was the first to leave the main hall and was led to the meditation room by a monk.

When Ye Wanning came out, a monk came to her. "Second Miss Ye asked me to deliver a message. She said she has something to discuss with the eldest young lady in the bamboo forest. May I ask which one of you is the eldest young lady?"

"Did my second sister say anything?" Ye Wanning asked.

The monk shook his head. "The second young lady didn't say anything specific."

Lin guessed, "I suppose Second Sister has encountered something interesting. You know her; once she goes out, she wants to have a good time. Why don't you take Wanhua with you, Wanning? I'll go back to my meditation room and wait for you."

"That's definitely my second sister's style." Ye Wanning led her third sister and followed the monk.

Lin sent her sisters-in-law away because she wanted to go and pray to the Goddess of Mercy who grants children again. She didn't want to tell her sisters-in-law about this, but she really hoped to have another child.

But after Lin finished praying to the Guanyin Bodhisattva who grants children, she saw her second sister alone in the meditation room. "Where are your eldest sister and third sister?"

"Aren't they with my sister-in-law?" Ye Wanyu had been there for a while, and she was still wondering why her sister-in-law and the others had been bowing for so long today.

"Didn't you call them to the bamboo grove?" Madam Lin suddenly had a bad feeling. "When we came out of the Zhengxiong Hall, a monk came to deliver a message, saying it was your idea?"

Ye Wanyu immediately sat up straight and said in a panic, "After leaving the Zhengxiong Hall, I came directly to the meditation room. I didn't go to the bamboo forest, nor did I ask the monks to call my elder sister and the others."

After saying this, the two of them panicked. Ye Wanyu immediately went to find the monk and asked her sister-in-law to describe what the monk looked like. She then personally led people to the bamboo forest.

According to Lin's description, she had no recollection of the monks in the temple. Lin's heart sank heavily. If something happened to her sisters, how could she explain it to her husband and the others?

She rushed to the bamboo forest, only to find her second sister crying and saying she couldn't find them. "Sister-in-law, what should we do now? Could it be that the eldest sister and the others have been kidnapped by bad guys?"

Madam Lin was equally distraught. "Don't cry, or people will become suspicious. Chunxing, have the servants go find someone right now, without making a sound, and then go find the eldest and second masters. Granny Wang, go to the Lin family and speak to my mother privately. This matter today is probably not simple; the Ye family alone may not be able to resolve it."

After giving a series of instructions, Madam Lin and Ye Wanyu searched the bamboo forest and finally found Ye Wanning's torn handkerchief deep in the forest. Tears instantly streamed down their faces.
