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

Chapter 77 No Menstrual Blood Comes

“Zhu is clearly taking her anger out on me. If I put up with it, my godmother will blame me for being spineless.” The Ye Wanning of the past would never have made a move. A lady of a respectable family would not do something that would damage someone’s reputation. But Ye Wanning has become much more open-minded now and doesn’t need to worry about so much. If she doesn’t fight back today, she will never be able to get her revenge in the future.

“Indeed, that’s good. You don’t have to endure anything. Anyway, you have your godmother’s support. A princess is still of higher status than the wife of a first-rank official. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Princess Xihe was very carefree. It wasn’t until Princess Duan arrived that she became a little scared. “Oh no, oh no, my mother will definitely scold me.”

Ye Wanning was pushed out, and upon seeing Princess Duan, she immediately apologized, "Today was my fault. The princess saved Yunzhi, so please don't blame her, Your Highness."

"It's good that she wanted to save people, but she acted impulsively and deserves to be taught a lesson. Don't worry, I won't blame you. I'm not an unreasonable person." Princess Duan patted Ye Wanning's hand, went behind the screen, and lifted her daughter's ear. "You're really brave. There are so many servants in the palace. What if you jumped down and bumped into some man? What about your reputation?"

"I was wrong, Mother, I was really wrong, please let go!" Princess Xihe cried out in pain.

Ye Wanning took Yunzhi to the other side. After the doctor examined her, he said there was nothing wrong, and Ye Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.

After this incident, Ye Wanning went home ahead of schedule.

Zhu sent someone to prepare tonics, and Ye Wanning had them sent back to the Bai family, saying, "Just say I don't need these things, the princess's residence has plenty of tonics."

"Miss, isn't this going too far?" Yunzhi had never seen her mistress offend anyone when she was doing things.

"I've already humiliated her. No matter how much I give her face, it's impossible to make amends. I might as well do as my godmother said and live life to the fullest." Ye Wanning didn't want to worry about anything anymore. She returned to the princess's residence first and happened to run into Jiang Si, who was waiting for her.

"Why is Second Sister-in-law here?"

"I came to talk to you about things at home." Jiang Si was drinking tea. "I thought you wouldn't be back so early, and I was thinking of coming tomorrow. Please sit down, I have some good news to tell you."

"Is your sister-in-law pregnant?" Ye Wanning asked curiously.

Jiang Si shook her head. Although she also wanted to get pregnant, it wouldn't happen so quickly. "Your second brother has a good friend named Jin Ziguan, do you know him?"

Ye Wanning said she knew, and that Jin Ziguan had previously helped her scold Zhou Yu, and she remembered that her second brother had a good opinion of Jin Ziguan.

“He has taken a liking to your second sister,” Jiang Si said with a smile. “The Jin family is too prestigious. Apart from your second brother, no one in the family believes that Jin Ziguan is a good person. So your eldest brother asked me to come and help find out what kind of person Jin Ziguan is. We are afraid that if your second sister marries into a family of such high social standing, she will suffer.”

The Ye family has always prioritized character when choosing a partner, with everything else being secondary. Otherwise, they would have found a reason to break off the engagement with Zhou Yu in the first place.

"Is Second Sister willing?" Ye Wanning felt this was the most important question.

“She didn’t say yes or no. I think there’s hope, that’s why I came to you.” Jiang Si noticed that Ye Wanning didn’t look well and asked, “Why does your face look a little pale? Have you not been resting well lately?”

Ye Wanning shook her head and said no, "There were many people in the Prince's mansion just now, and I was a little frightened, but it's nothing serious. I will find out more about Jin Ziguan's matter."

"And then there's your third sister. She said she doesn't want to get married and wants to become a female tutor. Your eldest brother got angry again, saying that all sorts of strange things are happening in our family. Your second brother and I can accept it. If you have the chance, ask your third sister if she's really thought it through. People have many choices in life, but once a decision is made, there's no going back." Jiang Si sighed.

Given Ye Wanhua's personality, she is indeed not suited for marriage. Keeping her at home as a female tutor would allow her to do some work without ruining her reputation, which would be a good choice.

Ye Wanning had followed the rules for so many years, but only recently, after letting loose a bit, did she realize the joy of being carefree and unrestrained.

“I can understand my third sister, and I support her. In the future, I will give her a share of my business. With my second brother helping her manage it, she can just collect dividends every year.” Ye Wanning still habitually plans for each of her family members.

Everyone has their own destiny; not everyone needs to be extremely wealthy and powerful. As long as everyone is safe and well, that's enough.

Ye Wanning has come to terms with it now. She will wait until Princess Longyu returns before asking her for help in investigating Jin Ziguan. "My family doesn't trust what my second brother says. I only have so much ability of my own, so I have to ask my godmother for help."

Princess Longyu was pleased to hear Ye Wanning offer her help, which meant Ye Wanning considered her one of her own. "A woman fears marrying the wrong man, so it's true that we should investigate thoroughly. A man's ability isn't important; good character is what matters. Don't worry, I'll definitely investigate this matter for you. Did you beat Zhu's maidservant at the Prince's residence today?"

“Yes, but I don’t regret it,” Ye Wanning said.

"Well done, that's more like my style. What is Zhu Shi? Even if you hit Zhu Shi, I'll be backing you up today." After learning the whole story, Princess Longyu sent people to teach Zhu Shi's people a lesson, showing them no respect. "She still wants me to release her child soon? She's dreaming. Granny Jiang, go and tell those people from the Bai family that I'm going to burn incense and ask them to copy the scriptures for me. I need them by tomorrow."

Princess Longyu did not believe in Buddhism; she was deliberately using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

Princess Longyu will not release the person unless the Emperor speaks up; she has the right to be willful.

It was time for dinner, but today, Ye Wanning had little appetite and suddenly felt nauseous when she smelled the fish soup.

"Fengchun, go and summon an imperial physician to examine your mistress and see if she has an upset stomach from eating something bad during the day," Princess Longyu instructed.

Ye Wanning said there was no need to trouble herself, "It's just a little nausea, nothing serious. I'll just stop drinking the fish soup. If I call the imperial physician at this hour, people will say I'm making a mountain out of a molehill."

She insisted on not allowing the imperial physician to be summoned, and Princess Longyu let it go.

Back in the courtyard, Ye Wanning felt nauseous from the smell of incense and quickly had it removed.

While taking a bath, Ye Wanning suddenly realized something terrible: her period was still late, several days overdue.
