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

"Miss!" Yunzhi tugged at her master's sleeve. "Lord Xie has arrived."

Upon hearing that it was Xie Bohuai, Ye Wanning hurriedly put away her handkerchief. When she stood up, she saw that Xie Bohuai had stopped on the opposite side of the road and did not go any further.

Although there are few people around, Xie Bohuai is followed by people from the town government. If anyone talks too much, someone will target Ye Wanning.

Watching Xie Bohuai leave, Ye Wanning breathed a sigh of relief. "Go back quickly."

Ye Wanning was unaware that after she vomited, the coachman told Granny Jiang about it when he got back.

Jiang Mama was puzzled, especially considering Ye Wanning's refusal to allow a doctor to be called, so she frowned and went to find her mistress.

“Your Highness, it’s not that this old servant is being paranoid, but the young lady doesn’t seem like the type to break the rules. It’s just that the situation is strange.” Granny Jiang dismissed everyone. “These past few days, this old servant has seen it clearly. Although the young lady is a bit bolder following you, the Ye family’s upbringing is still quite good.”

Princess Longyu was also confused. They didn't believe that Ye Wanning would do something so outrageous, but the reality forced them to think more about it.

"Your Highness, what if it's true?" Granny Jiang knew that a young lady's reputation was of utmost importance, and if too much time passed, the secret might not be able to be kept.

Princess Longyu was also in a dilemma. "If Wan Ning doesn't say anything and we take the initiative to ask her, it would be too damaging to our relationship if it's false. But if it's true, we need to prepare in advance, otherwise, how can she, a young lady, handle it all by herself?"

Princess Longyu's first reaction wasn't to hold Ye Wanning accountable, nor was it to distance herself from the situation; she wanted to handle the matter properly for Ye Wanning. Since the previous incident with the envoy from Wusu, Princess Longyu and Ye Wanning had become much closer, their relationship having improved considerably.

Granny Jiang thought for a moment, "None of Fengchun and the others have given birth before. I'm not entirely comfortable letting them observe. How about I go and take a look?"

Granny Jiang also had no children, but she had seen many pregnant ladies, and by combining the actual situation, she could tell with a high degree of accuracy whether someone was truly pregnant.

"That's all we can do," Princess Longyu sighed.

Granny Jiang brought medicine to regulate Ye Wanning's spleen and stomach. When she arrived, Feng Chun and the others were outside.

“The young lady only kept Yunzhi to serve her,” Fengchun said. They were His Highness’s people; the young lady wouldn’t completely trust them.

Granny Jiang knocked on the door, and after a while Yunzhi opened it. "How is Miss feeling?" She didn't let Fengchun and the others come in to serve her, but only asked Yunzhi to take the medicine and heat it up.

Yunzhi said it was alright, then looked back at the room with concern, sighed, and went to heat up the medicine.

However, the girl's current condition was not suitable for taking any medicine, so Yunzhi quietly changed the medicine and brought over some brown sugar water.

Granny Jiang looked her over. "The coachman said that the young lady vomited today. Did she eat something bad?"

Ye Wanning was stunned for a moment, then said, "I ate too much herbal tea because I was greedy. I didn't expect my body to be so fragile."

When she mentioned herbal tea, Granny Jiang didn't realize anything was amiss. She silently prayed that it was indeed herbal tea, otherwise things would become difficult.

Seeing that Yunzhi had brought the medicine, Granny Jiang said again, "His Highness is worried about you when he learned that you are not feeling well. Nothing is more important than your health. Don't worry about anything else. If you have any difficulties, you can go to His Highness for advice. He will definitely help you."

These words were a veiled reference to Ye Wanning. After speaking, Granny Jiang withdrew and summoned Fengchun.

Fengchun thought that Ye Wanning was still worried about His Highness, which was why she had Yunzhi change the medicine. "I saw it clearly. Yunzhi poured out the medicine and replaced it with brown sugar water. Granny, do you think the young lady is being too guarded? His Highness is so good to her, she shouldn't be like this."

"That's normal. The young lady was like this before, and she's like this now. How can she suddenly let her guard down? You all take good care of her. She's not feeling well these days, so try not to disturb her too much." Granny Jiang already had the answer in her heart, but in front of Feng Chun and the others, she still had to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Back in the main hall, Granny Jiang nodded slightly, and Princess Longyu dismissed everyone.

"How could this be?" Princess Longyu couldn't understand. "Who could she be with?"

Granny Jiang was also puzzled. "This old servant can't figure it out either. Zhou Yu made a huge scene at Ganye Temple before, saying he kidnapped a girl. Could it be..."

She dared not continue speaking, for her master's face had darkened.

"If it's Zhou Yu's, then Zhou Yu deserves to die even more!" Princess Longyu had investigated Ye Wanning and knew that Zhou Yu had caused trouble at Ganye Temple. However, Ye Wanning appeared in time and prevented Zhou Yu's words from coming true. Everyone just thought that Zhou Yu wanted to deliberately ruin Ye Wanning's reputation.

If you count the days, it's very likely that she conceived during that time.

Looking back now, it is indeed possible.

To protect her reputation, even if Ye Wanning was really kidnapped by Zhou Yu, she would say no.

Princess Longyu frowned. Initially, she only used Ye Wanning as a shield to prevent Xie Bohuai from harming her. However, after spending a long time together, she had developed genuine feelings for her.

"Where is Zhou Yu now?" Princess Longyu asked.

“Your Highness, Zhou Yu and his mother live in the outskirts of the capital,” said Granny Jiang. “It is said that Zhou Yu’s tongue was cut out and his tendons were severed. Even if we send people to investigate, Zhou Yu probably won’t be able to say a word.”

Hearing of Zhou Yu's miserable state, Princess Longyu felt no satisfaction. "Send someone to investigate who attacked Zhou Yu."

Granny Jiang said yes, and the topic returned to Ye Wanning, "What does His Highness intend to do about that girl?"

If an unmarried woman has a child and it is discovered, she will face certain death. Even if the Ye family loves Ye Wanning dearly, they will only send her away from afar. But this will also bring misfortune to the other girls in the Ye family, and will also tarnish Princess Longyu's reputation.

"Since I've recognized her as my goddaughter, it's for life," Princess Longyu declared domineeringly. "Whether she wants it or not, I'll support her. Life is short; I dared to personally kill the envoy from Wusu, so why would I be afraid of not being able to protect a little girl?"

She insisted on making Ye Wanning her goddaughter, and now that she had accepted her, she would protect Ye Wanning for the rest of her life.

Thinking of her son who had suffered so much, Princess Longyu felt a surge of hatred. "Even if she made a mistake, it wasn't her fault! We'll deal with it after we find out who cut out Zhou Yu's tongue. Wan Ning probably only just found out, so let her have a couple of days to think about it."

"This old servant understands." Granny Jiang immediately sent people to investigate. After learning that it was Xie Bohuai who did it, she and Princess Longyu both believed that Zhou Yu had indeed kidnapped Ye Wanning.

There was still no movement from Ye Wanning, and knowing that Ye Wanning couldn't come up with a solution, Princess Longyu took Granny Jiang and went there herself.
