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

Chapter 159 Nosebleed

"Why does Yunzhi say everything?" When Ye Wanning looked at Yunzhi, Yunzhi immediately turned her head away guiltily. Faced with the gazes of her sisters-in-law, she could only reply with a "yes".

Ye Wanyu grew anxious. "This is our wedding night! How can we let Le'er sleep with us? Lord Xie just agreed to this?"

Ye Wanning looked embarrassed and could only say that.

Lin said, "It seems that Lord Xie is still very tolerant of you, but this kind of thing should not happen again. Now that you are husband and wife, you must work together to make it last."

As members of the Ye family, they all wanted Ye Wanning to live a good life.

In their view, living a good life means being a true couple and living a loving and affectionate life together.

Ye Wanning gave a perfunctory reply, but Ye Mingde, not wanting to ask too many direct questions, couldn't help but ask Ye Mingyue, who beat around the bush a few times, "Lord Xie, I should call you Ziqian now, it sounds more intimate. Ziqian, I heard that you slept with Le-ge'er on your wedding night? Is there something you're unhappy with about my sister?"

Xie Bohuai looked completely bewildered. "I...I'm not dissatisfied."

"Then why don't you consummate your marriage?" Ye Mingyue pressed on.

Ye Mingde, who was standing to the side, had already blushed, but he also wanted to know why.

Xie Bohuai really didn't want to talk about this, but Ye Mingyue kept asking, "It's Le Ge'er's first day at the manor, he's probably very shy. I'm thinking of getting along well with him, because Wan Ning and I have a long future ahead of us."

Hearing him say that, Ye Mingde felt that it could be explained, and stopped Ye Mingyue from asking any further questions, "Well, it's enough that you have this intention."

Xie Bohuai used this as a pretext to bring up Ye Mingxuan's matter, thus changing the subject.

"Ye Mingxuan, he's Second Uncle's son. If things really get out of hand, it'll be Second Uncle and his family who suffer." Ye Mingyue said indifferently. "Besides, Second Uncle had a stroke, and Second Aunt can't manage on her own. Ye Mingxuan, in his condition, can't possibly uphold the family name. I don't think he has any remorse. He'll just pretend to admit his mistake, but with Second Uncle in this state, Ye Mingxuan will inevitably squander the family fortune sooner or later. What we need to do is help hire some good doctors and send some medicine over from time to time. That will naturally build a good reputation."

Ye Mingde tacitly agreed with what Ye Mingyue said.

When you find someone you also dislike, you have something to say about it.

When it was almost time, Yunzhi came to tell him that it was time to leave. Xie Bohuai finally breathed a sigh of relief, having managed to avoid the house selection process.

The couple left the Ye residence together and were about to get into their carriage when a maidservant from Madam Lin ran out and handed Ye Wanning a bundle, whispering, "Eldest Miss, this is what the First Madam prepared for you. Take it back and see it for yourself, but don't let anyone else see it."

Before Ye Wanning could understand what the other person meant, they left.

After getting into the carriage, Le Ge'er cried and didn't want to leave. He sat aside sulking and didn't want to talk.

Ye Wanning coaxed him with a soup cube, "If you want to come and play, you can come often in the future. It's not like you can't come anymore."

"But can't we live here? I want to play with Cousin Xuan and the others every day. I'm the only child in the Xie family, and no one plays with me. Mother, can you give me two older brothers and sisters?" Le'er's innocent words made Ye Wanning's face stiffen.

Le Ge'er went to see his father again. "Father, my aunt said she hopes you two will have more children. Can you hurry up? It's so boring for me to be alone."

Xie Bohuai went to see Ye Wanning, then smiled and said, "These things can't be rushed."

"Why can't we be in a hurry? Do we have to wait a long time?" Le Ge'er puffed out his cheeks, even more unhappy. "Then you can send me to the Ye family. I'll go back when there are other children."

Ye Wanning quickly stopped Le Ge'er from continuing the topic, "Then don't you miss your mother?"

Le Ge'er didn't want to be separated from his mother either, and frowned with worry.

Even after returning to the Xie family, Le Ge'er still hadn't figured out what to do. Fortunately, Chunxi quickly brought out shadow puppets, which attracted his attention.

After Le Ge'er was taken away, Xie Bohuai and Ye Wanning went into the house together. "Le Ge'er is already four years old, it's time for him to start his formal education. I was thinking, why don't I take him to school for a while, so I can spend more time with him? When he's a little older, we can hire a renowned teacher, what do you think?"

Ye Wanning said yes, "That would be great, but do you have that much time?"

Xie Bohuai said, "I am no longer the commander. The Emperor's decree makes it impossible for me to be the commander again."

Ye Wanning didn't understand the affairs of the court, so she listened without saying a word.

Xie Bohuai continued, "There are a few things I need to tell you in advance. As you know, I've severed ties with the Xie family. I'm fearless and don't care what others say about me. But some people will definitely come to you, asking you to persuade me that there's no reason for a son to disown his father. If you encounter such people in the future, just yell back at them. Just remember, you are now my wife, Xie Bohuai's wife. No matter who makes things difficult for you, you don't need to hold back."

After a pause, Xie Bohuai emphasized, "As long as I'm here, you can do whatever you want in the capital."

Xie Bohuai said this very seriously.

Ye Wanning had also thought about the Xie family's situation, "But in the future, if others bring up the Xie family again, will you be able to handle it?"

After all, if someone is accused of being disobedient and unfilial, they can be dismissed from office and exiled.

Even the Emperor did not directly say that Xie Bohuai could do this, and he pretended not to see the impeachment memorials submitted by other ministers.

If the Emperor issues an edict to help Xie Bohuai sever ties, it will be difficult for the new Emperor to bring up this matter when he ascends the throne.

The fact that the emperor did not show up gave the new emperor a handle to control Xie Bohuai.

Therefore, while the Emperor valued Xie Bohuai, he didn't completely delegate power to him. After all, Xie Bohuai was a subject, not a son, and subjects need to be checked and restrained.

"Since I dared to do this, I've already left myself a way out. Besides, Xie Zhongyuan is already old, and with the Xie family in its current state, he won't live much longer." Speaking of his father, Xie Bohuai's eyes flashed with a fierce light. As for his stepmother, needless to say, without his father, she was doomed.

Xie Bohuai told Ye Wanning not to worry, and Ye Wanning didn't dare to ask any more questions. Instead, she took the bundle given to her by her sister-in-law to the inner room, but her face turned red instantly after she opened it.

It's an erotic picture!

Ye Wanning had this item in her dowry when she got married, but she hadn't looked at it, thinking she wouldn't need it. Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law gave her two more copies, and they looked even better…

"Why is your face so red?" Xie Bohuai suddenly came in, startling Ye Wanning, who tried to hide the erotic picture. However, the more nervous she became, the more mistakes she made, and the erotic picture fell to the ground instead.

A gentle breeze blew by, and after turning a few pages, the contents suddenly appeared before Xie Bohuai's eyes.

Xie Bohuai was a vigorous young man, and upon seeing this, his nose started bleeding.

Now, Ye Wanning felt even more ashamed and hurriedly picked up the erotic pictures from the ground. "No...it's not mine, I...I don't know, why did you...oh dear...ah, you're still bleeding from your nose!"

Xie Bohuai reached up and touched his nose; it was indeed red. "It's okay, I'm fine. I'm going to take a shower."

"Hey, it's still cold." Ye Wanning wanted to chase after him, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she turned back at the door.

When Yunzhi came in, Ye Wanning was so embarrassed she almost cried. "Yunzhi, why did you give me this when my sister-in-law was perfectly fine?"

Yunzhi, who was not yet married, looked at the bundle being held tightly by her master and asked, "What have you been doing these past few years?"

"Yes..." Ye Wanning hesitated, unable to finish her sentence. After a long pause, she only dared to show a corner of the erotic picture. Seeing Yunzhi blush instantly, she whispered, "The master saw it just now. Do you think he'll think I want to..."

Just thinking about it made Ye Wanning want to disappear into a crack in the ground.

If Xie Bohuai misunderstands and thinks she asked her sister-in-law for it, then what kind of person does she seem to Xie Bohuai?

Yunzhi quickly understood her mistress's meaning. She had listened to the two ladies talk for a long time at the Ye family today, and she thought it made a lot of sense. "But Madam, you are already married to the Lord. No matter what happened before, and no matter how the Lord treats others, he is always considerate and attentive to you. He is not at all like the god of death in the rumors. You share the Lord's honor and disgrace. Since that is the case, why not take it a step further and become a real couple?"

"I……"

“Listen to me, our master is outstanding in both appearance and ability; no one in the capital can compare. Besides, Le-ge’er needs a good environment to grow up properly, since he has your father. I’m doing this for your own good. We’ve had a tough time before, and now that we have a good option, it’s good to enjoy ourselves. But this is just my opinion; you still need to consider your own feelings.” Yunzhi finished speaking and then looked at the bundle in her master’s hands. “Even if you misunderstand, it doesn’t matter; you are husband and wife.”

Ye Wanning was speechless after Yunzhi said that Xie Bohuai was indeed outstanding in every way among the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital. If it weren't for his reputation as a killing god, people would have already worn down the threshold of the Xie family to propose marriage.

Knowing that her mistress was in a state of confusion, Yunzhi poured her a bowl of calming tea and then withdrew.

As soon as she stepped outside, she heard Qingshan frowning and talking to Siyan, "I really saw the master's nose bleed. What happened? Did the master and madam have a bad day at their homecoming and the master was beaten by the madam?"

Si Yan just wanted to roll her eyes and leave, but Qingshan grabbed her, saying, "Tell me, or I'll say the wrong thing again when I see the adults later."

"Qingshan, you've lived to your twenties, haven't you ever thought about women?" Si Yan suddenly asked.

"Why are you thinking about women? Women will only interfere with my protection of my master. I don't need to get married. Don't interrupt, tell me what happened?" Qingshan really wanted to know. If it was really the madam who hit him, then she was too powerful, daring to lay a hand on his master. And judging from his master's expression, he didn't seem angry.

Si Yan couldn't help but curse, "Use your brain! How could Madam possibly hit the Master?"

"Why is the gentleman's nose bleeding?"

“Then it must be…” At this point, Si Yan saw Yun Zhi not far away and quickly shook off Qing Shan, “I can’t explain it to you, so you’ll just stay single for the rest of your life!”

Qingshan also saw Yunzhi, but was too embarrassed to speak loudly. He just grinned sheepishly and scratched his head, "Miss Yunzhi, where are you going?"

"I'll go check on the kitchen." Yunzhi thought for a moment, then reminded him, "Don't ask about the adults' nosebleeds anymore. It's a matter between husband and wife. You'll understand when you get married."

This left Aoyama even more bewildered. "Why do I have to wait until I'm married to understand?"

Yunzhi: ...

She was just being nosy.

I shouldn't have reminded you.

Seeing Qingshan's puzzled expression, Yunzhi was too embarrassed to explain, as she wasn't even married yet, so she turned and left.

Once in the kitchen, Yunzhi had a nourishing soup prepared, saying, "Add some ginseng; the master and mistress need some nourishment."

The cook readily agreed, "We happen to have some wild ginseng in the storeroom. This is the perfect time to eat it. It will get warmer soon. Don't worry, Miss Yunzhi, with us taking care of things, we'll make sure our masters are well-fed."

"I trust you to handle things." Yunzhi saw Chunxi as she came out of the kitchen.

Chunxi laughed and said, "The adult has a nosebleed, and you still want him to take supplements. You're such a naughty girl."

"Don't laugh, I'm doing this for Madam's own good." Yunzhi, hearing Le'er being led around by Qingshan, pulled Chunxi aside and asked with a smile, "Tell me, who did you sew those socks for?"

"Who is there?" Chunxi pretended not to know.

“I saw it all, it’s a man’s size. Little girl, are you falling for him? Tell your sister, and I’ll help you see if he’s a good man.” Yunzhi took Chunxi’s arm, preventing her from running away.

Chunxi stammered, "That...that was made for...for my younger brother."

"Don't try to fool me. Your brother is so young, he can't possibly wear such big socks. Fine, I won't press you anymore. It's normal for a girl to have feelings for someone," Yunzhi said. "But you must remember to be discerning when choosing a man. If you are truly in love, you must go back to your master and let him arrange your marriage. You must not let anyone take advantage of you."

The more she spoke, the redder Chunxi's face became, and her neck turned bright red. "I would never do anything shameful, so don't worry about me. But you, Sister Yunzhi, shouldn't you be thinking about your marriage?"

Yunzhi is not young anymore, she is twenty-one this year. She has a pretty face and some people do like her, but Yunzhi herself has no interest in that.

“I’ll pass, I’m going to follow Madam for the rest of my life,” Yunzhi said.

When the two arrived at the front yard, Le Ge'er was playing around with Qingshan. Chunxi was worried that Le Ge'er would get too sweaty and feel stuffy, so she pulled him to change his clothes.

Meanwhile, Xie Bohuai had been soaking in the bucket of cold water for quite some time.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he could picture the intertwined scenes in erotic paintings, and then he would think of Ye Wanning's fair and jade-like skin.

in case……

A thought suddenly popped into my head, and my body, which I had just suppressed, started to move uncontrollably again.

He was extremely annoyed; how could he have forgotten about his intimate moments with Ye Wanning?

He's such a fool; he forgot the most important thing.

Fortunately, at least Ye Wanning is still alive. For him, what he has lost and then regained is naturally the most precious thing.

Xie Bohuai closed his eyes and slowly sank into the water, no longer suppressing his desires and thoughts...
