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

When Ye Wanning returned to the Ye family, she saw that everyone was beaming with joy. Upon asking, she learned that her sister-in-law was pregnant, so she hurried to the main house.

"Oh, it's Wan Ning! We were just talking about you." Jiang Si got up and pulled Ye Wan Ning into the room. Lin Shi sat on the bed, and Jiang Si smiled and said to Ye Wan Ning, "We were thinking that if you didn't come back soon, we would have gone to the princess's residence to look for you."

Ye Wanning anxiously went to see Lin Shi, "How is my sister-in-law? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

“I originally planned to wait until the pregnancy was more stable before making any decisions, but I felt dizzy for a while today. Your second sister-in-law noticed that I didn’t look well and sent someone to fetch a doctor.” Lin has been very busy lately and hasn’t had time to rest, which is why she felt a little unwell. “Don’t worry, the doctor said it’s nothing serious. He told me to get some rest.”

Just now, Madam Lin was talking to Jiang Si about the Ye family's situation. Since Madam Lin needed to recuperate, the management of the household fell to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si was raised to be a mistress of the house from a young age, so managing household affairs was no problem for her, especially since the Ye family had a small population and no major troubles.

Ye Wanning knew that her sister-in-law longed for a child, so she held her sister-in-law's hand and carefully instructed her, "Sister-in-law's health is the most important thing. Don't think about anything else. Your second sister-in-law and I will take care of everything."

"I'm sorry to trouble you all." Madam Lin looked at Jiang Si with some guilt. "You've only just entered the family, and I feel really bad that you have to handle these things."

Ye Wanning smiled helplessly at her second sister-in-law, "See? I told you my eldest sister-in-law always has so many worries." She patted her sister-in-law's hand, "Eldest sister-in-law, don't worry about it. Go and rest. I'll take care of all the things at home with my second sister-in-law."

Without giving Lin a chance to refuse, Ye Wanning sent someone with the account books to the second branch of the family.

On the way, Jiang Si kept looking at Ye Wanning. "Before I married into this family, my mother told me that most of what I learned in my boudoir could be discarded."

"Why?"

“My mother said that people should be taught according to their aptitude, and they should learn to adapt to different environments, instead of sticking to the old ways. My mother is very different from my father, but she gets along very well with him. Wan Ning, I know you are in a difficult situation right now, but don’t give up. There’s always a way out. Someone as good as you won’t be wasted by God.” Jiang Si led Ye Wan Ning into the house.

Ye Wanning smiled, "Madam Jiang is truly insightful."

“How can you live if you don’t understand things clearly? There’s no hurdle you can’t overcome. Life always comes one step at a time. Look at me, your second brother and I are quite respectful to each other now, aren’t we?” Jiang Si said this with a smile in her eyes. She was already satisfied with how things were. “Since you came back, although you have a happy face, you can’t hide your fatigue. You just said that your sister-in-law is a worrier, but aren’t you the same?”

Since Lin was pregnant, Ye Wanning took the initiative to familiarize Jiang Si with the Ye family's household affairs. Ye Wanning had also helped Lin manage the household before. Whenever Ye Mingyue had any problems, Ye Wanning would also take the initiative to advise him.

She wasn't the oldest in the family, but she acted like an older sister, busy with all the things inside and outside the house.

“Wanning, relax a bit. Whether life is better or not doesn’t matter. Your second brother told me that he’s helping you run the shop. You have the capital. Your sister-in-law and I are both generous people. Even if the sky falls, you don’t need to be afraid,” Jiang Si earnestly advised.

"I know, Second Sister-in-law, it's true that I've been worrying too much. I met Princess Longyu today, and I was on edge the whole time. Thank you... Princess Longyu said she'd like to chat with me again when she has the chance. I think it's better to have less contact with them. I should just tell everyone I'm sick to avoid any trouble." Ye Wanning was indeed exhausted.

Zhou Yu has gotten his comeuppance. Given his current situation, he can't go back to his hometown, his reputation is ruined, and he has to deal with his unreasonable wife. You can imagine how difficult his life will be.

After Ye Wanning announced that she was ill, she stopped going out to receive guests and spent her days reading or chatting and laughing with her sisters.

It was seven days later when they heard that Zhou Yu's tongue had been cut out.

"Who did this?" Ye Wanning called out to Lai Fusheng.

Fu Sheng said he didn't know. "Zhou Yu and his group moved to the outskirts of Beijing. They said their tongues were cut off and their tendons were severed. They are alive, but they can't take care of themselves."

Yunzhi snorted, "This is his retribution."

Ye Wanning took a deep breath, trying to figure out who hated Zhou Yu so much. After thinking it over and over, she had no clue and had to give up for the time being.

Now that Zhou Yu is a cripple, there's no need to keep an eye on him anymore. Someone like that has no chance of causing trouble again.

Just as Ye Wanning was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang, the nanny who served Princess Longyu, arrived with the imperial physician to examine Ye Wanning.

"His Highness heard that Miss Ye was ill, so he specially sent this old servant to come and see her. Could it be that she caught a cold at the Princess's residence the other day?" Granny Jiang said with a polite smile. As she spoke, the imperial physician beside her bowed to Jiang Si and asked where Ye Wanning was.

Even someone who has seen the world can't figure out what's going on. It can't be that Princess Longyu really likes Wan Ning, can it?

Since Granny Jiang had already arrived, we couldn't keep her waiting, so we took her to Wan Ning's courtyard.

Ye Wanning received the news and was already in bed. When she saw Granny Jiang and the imperial physician, she couldn't help but worry.

"Greetings, young lady. His Highness has been thinking of you and specially sent this old servant to see you."

"Your Highness is too kind to worry me. Actually, I'm fine, just feeling very weak and not having the energy to go out." Ye Wanning said as she waited for the imperial physician to take her pulse. "I really don't want Your Highness to worry about me. Please ask the nanny to give me a message and say that I'm alright."

Ye Wanning was indeed not sick, so this was the only way to get through it.

She said she was tired, and the imperial physician naturally replied, "Miss Ye has been thinking too much and does need to rest. Her pulse is a little erratic, perhaps due to restlessness."

Granny Jiang asked the imperial physician to write a prescription, and then went to see Ye Wanning. "Miss, don't think His Highness is being nosy. His Highness has no children and his life is rather dull. He only became concerned about your illness because he sees you as a good person. His Highness said that if you can't recover, you should go to the Princess's residence to recuperate. The Princess's residence has all kinds of medicinal herbs, and you will surely recover."

"How dare I trouble Your Highness? Once I recover, I will personally come to thank you," Ye Wanning had no choice but to make the promise.

Hearing this, Granny Jiang stopped saying anything more.

After Granny Jiang and the imperial physician left, Jiang Si frowned. "Didn't you say you were just chatting at the princess's residence? Why does His Highness seem so interested in you?"

"It was just a chat. I'm not some handsome young master, and I don't know I have the ability to make her treat me so well. The Ye family has no power or influence. I really can't understand why she's clinging to me like this." Ye Wanning was quite certain that if she didn't mention that she was going to visit Princess Longyu, Granny Jiang wouldn't leave so easily.

For what?

There must be some ulterior motive for someone to be so attentive.

She didn't believe that Princess Longyu would be kind to her for no reason. This kindness, on the contrary, gave her the creeps, and she couldn't help but think of Xie Bohuai's warning.

Those in the royal family are indeed not simple-minded.
