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

Chapter 94 The Little Fatty

"Third Master?" Si Yan only dared to say this much. Three years ago, his master severed ties with the Xie family. Because of this, people in the capital said that his master was unfilial. His master even went to their residence and cursed them for this.

During that time, the master neither smiled nor spoke to anyone. Every day he stayed between the town government office and the palace, and no matter who it was, the master would not say a word.

None of them could have imagined that Miss Ye would die like this, let alone that their master would be so persistent.

Xie Bohuai remained standing in the darkness until Zhe Zhu emerged, at which point he returned to the prison, seemingly loathing the sunlight.

Zhe Zhu and Si Yan arrived outside the Heavenly Prison. This had become a monthly tradition. Despite the bright sunshine, Sun Hao could only glimpse scattered stars through the darkness.

"Why won't the master give up?" Zhe Zhu sighed. "Even though the Ye family has given up, he's still so persistent. Miss Ye is already a pile of bones."

Si Yan shook her head at him, signaling him to stop talking. "Adults have their own worries, so let's not say anything more. If a person doesn't have some obsessions, they can't live."

He understood this better than others: it was precisely this obsession that allowed his master to persist. Once that obsession was resolved, he would completely want to die.

Zhezhu understood. "Ah."

“You seem to have more to say than Qingshan. Even he, with his single-mindedness, would say that as long as he follows his master, he'll protect him. As for other things, there's no need to think about them. At worst, we'll fight those people to the death, taking one down with us.” Si Yan looked up and saw several sparrows flying overhead. Just as they were about to land, an eagle suddenly snatched them away. He found it amusing. Whether they were animals or people like them, wasn't it all just the survival of the fittest? Their master had chosen them, so they would follow him to the end. Whether they died sooner or later, it made no difference.

Zhezhu followed Siyan to see, and they did not leave until their master came out.

Xie Bohuai had just been released from prison when he encountered Ye Mingyue. Ever since Xie Bohuai dug up Ye Wanning's coffin, the two had fought and never spoke to each other again.

Now that they've met again, Ye Mingyue suddenly shouted, "Xie Bohuai, I still don't understand. If you had feelings for Wan Ning back then, why... why did you let her suffer this humiliation?"

Xie Bohuai turned to look at Ye Mingyue, "I don't believe it."

"Why don't you believe me?" Ye Mingyue rushed over, glaring at Xie Bohuai. "Do you know how much criticism Wan Ning suffered after her death because of this?"

Everyone hated Xie Bohuai, and consequently, they had nothing good to say about Ye Wanning. On the day of Ye Wanning's burial, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries came, but Xie Bohuai ignored everyone and went mad in front of so many people.

At first, everyone was wondering what Xie Bohuai was doing, but it wasn't until Xie Bohuai knelt in front of Ye Wanning's coffin that some people realized that Xie Bohuai had feelings for Ye Wanning.

No one could have imagined that the person he looked down on, the one he kept talking about, was actually Ye Wanning.

Even while Ye Wanning was alive, Xie Bohuai never made any moves towards her. Although Ye Wanning had broken off her engagement, Xie Bohuai never proposed again. Some people might wonder if Xie Bohuai had been having an affair with Ye Wanning, which is why Ye Wanning insisted on breaking off her engagement with Zhou Yu.

In short, there are all sorts of opinions.

Because of this, Ye Mingyue and Xie Bohuai had a fierce fight, but Xie Bohuai did not fight back and was beaten by Ye Mingyue unilaterally.

Over the years, Ye Mingyue has never allowed Xie Bohuai to attend the anniversary of Ye Wanning's death.

Ye Mingyue had just overheard people talking about this again, so he couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at Xie Bohuai's expressionless face, he really wanted to punch him.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to someone like you. I misjudged you before, thinking you were a good person," Ye Mingyue said, turning to leave.

Xie Bohuai suddenly spoke up, "Ye Mingyue, you... you should tone it down a bit lately."

"What are you collecting?" Ye Mingyue didn't understand, but Xie Bohuai had already mounted his horse and left.

Si Yan came over and whispered, "Second Master Ye, your business has spread all over the country. Now everyone knows about the Ye family's caravan, but the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows, especially at times. Our master... meant well, please don't blame him, he's not having an easy time either."

Over the years, that's how my master has always spoken; often, Si Yan has to step in and explain things.

"Who wants his fake kindness!" Ye Mingyue snorted, turned around and went home. It was almost Wan Ning's death anniversary, and the atmosphere at home was very somber.

Sigh. Thinking of his younger sister, Ye Mingyue felt a lump in his throat.

Meanwhile, in a small town in Jiangnan, a fair-skinned little child was standing on tiptoe trying to pick camellias in a courtyard.

"Aunt Yun, hold me! I want to pick the prettiest one for my mother!"

The chubby little boy jumped and bounced several times, but he couldn't reach it and almost fell over.

Seeing the child still jumping around, Yunzhi rushed out of the house anxiously, "My little darling, why did you run out by yourself? Come back with me quickly, or you'll get scolded again."

"No, no, I want to pick camellias for my mother!" The chubby boy shook his head vigorously, pestering Yunzhi to pick camellias for him.
