Beitang Ao didn’t expect that Yan Feili would agree so easily. He gazed up and met Yan Feili’s once dark and bright eyes that had turned gray and heavy like a pool of stagnant water with desperate helplessness in the silence.
He tightened his heart, stood up, and walked to Yan Feili’s side.
“Feili…” He called out but didn’t know what to say. Beitang Ao pulled his big hand, and the thick layer of alkali in the palm of his hand rubbed his fingertips.
“Feili, I’m sorry.”
Yan Feili shook his head and said, “You needn’t apologize to me. I know that you are forced to take Li’er away. This is all for his benefit.”
Beitang Ao listened to him and sighed, “I don’t know what’s going on. I always felt that my decision was right. But after seeing your appearance, I feel like I did something wrong?”
Yan Feili laughed and then smiled, “… You are not wrong, this is the best way.”
The two stared in silence for a long while, and their hearts were heavy. In the end, Beitang Ao said, “You have been with Li’er these few days. In the next two days, you choose a good time and I will make up for him, his Year ceremony. After Li’er goes to Shenmei Courtyard, Cui Nu will also follow. You won’t have anyone here to serve you, so go to my place and pick a few people who are pleasing to your eyes. I will transfer them over.”
Yan Feili nodded, and Beitang Ao didn’t say anything anymore. He returned to the Shenmei Courtyard.
“Miss, your complexion has been much better lately.”
The day of Yaohui’s first full moon was approaching, and Lin Yanyan had been able to walk around. She looked in the mirror and felt that she was much plumper than before.
“Lan’er, do you think I look good now?”
“Good-looking. Lan’er has never seen anyone better than the lady.”

Lan’er who combed her hair was her dowry girl. Although Lin Yanyan had been married for a long time, Lan’er was unable to change her old ways and still called Lin Yanyan Miss and lady.
“Ktf sbecu wjrafg ibbxr rb wemt ilxf ws ijvs. Lf klii yf j yfjealoei wjc lc atf oeaegf.”

Lan’er saw Lin Yanyan frowning without speaking and knew what she was thinking. She was Lin Yanyan’s confidant, she had served her since she was a child, and she had no scruples when she speaks.
“Miss, I think that child must have been confused by the Sect Master for a while and be born with a wild woman outside. This kind of thing is common among the nobles in the palace. Although the Sect Master is clean, self-conscious, and has a weak temperament, he is a man in the end. The wild woman deliberately seduced a young and energetic host. It was inevitable that he couldn’t resist the temptation. The Sect Master is unwilling to mention her, so why should my lady take it to heart?”
Lin Yanyan frowned and replied, “The husband is not the kind of person who can be seduced by anyone. I always feel that this is not that simple.”
Lan’er thought for a while and said, “That’s true. The Sect Master took the child back and didn’t directly send it back to Shenmei Courtyard, but placed it in General Yan. Raised it there. If the Sect Master didn’t claim the child, who wouldn’t think it was General Yan’s son?”
Lan’er said it was unintentional, but Lin Yanyan was very concerned by it.
“I think that child is a bit similar to General Yan… Lan’er, go and find out who else is in General Yan’s family, whether there are any sisters or something.”
“General Yan is an orphan and has no family.”
“How do you know?”
Lan’er blushed.
Yan Feili was the first general of Beitang Ao’s subordinates. He was dignified, gentle, and kind. The young ladies in Shenmei Courtyard were charmed, who between any of them didn’t hold a little thought? Although the Sect Master had a superb appearance and respected status, he was a bright moon in the sky, unattainable. No one dared to dream that much.
“I―I listened to Ximei and the others.”
“Oh?” Lin Yanyan stayed a little bit fascinated, “Ximei is the girl who was transferred to the Bamboo Garden last year?”
“Yes.”
Lin Yanyan thought for a while and ordered, “Go and call her. I will ask her about some things.”
“Yes.”
Ximei soon came to meet Lin Yanyan and greeted, “Madam.”
Lin Yanyan sat at the table, sipping the ginseng soup to replenish her body, and glanced at her, “The Sect Master transferred you to the Bamboo Garden last year. Why did you transfer back? How long have you served in the Bamboo Garden?”
“Ximei only stayed in the Bamboo Garden for two months. After General Yan went to the battlefield, there was nothing to do and no one to serve, so I come back first. Later, when the general came back, the Sect Master said that he had hired another servant for the Bamboo Garden and I didn’t need to go there for the time being.”
“You serve over there, how does General Yan treat you?”
“General Yan is a great person, but we didn’t speak with each other much.”
“Who have you met when you were in the Bamboo Garden?”
Ximei didn’t know what the Madam’s words meant and was a little at a loss. When Lan’er saw this, she said on the side, “Have you ever seen any woman enter and leave the Bamboo Garden?”
Ximei was taken aback, “No, I have never seen any.”
Lan’er glanced at Lin Yanyan and asked again, “Have anyone been there with a child?”
Xi Mei shook her head again, “No.”
Lin Yanyan remembered that at this time last year, Yan Feili broke into the Shenmei Courtyard and knelt in the snow for most of a day. Later, the Sect Master asked him to recuperate in Liuxiangju. Based on a woman’s instinct, Lin Yanyan always felt that this matter was related to that child, but there was nothing to ask that Ximei will know of.
“Okay, nothing else, you can go down.”
“Yes,” Ximei retreated to the door.
Lin Yanyan picked up the ginseng soup and asked casually, “Does the Sect Master often go to the Bamboo Garden?”
“No. he didn’t go often.” Suddenly, Ximei didn’t know what she thought, and her expression moved. Lin Yanyan did not miss her change at that moment.
“What? What’s the matter?”
“No, no.”
Lin Yanyan was unhappy and said, “Don’t hesitate, what did you think of?”
“It’s nothing,” Ximei said in a somewhat uncertain way, “Only once, the Sect Master seemed to have fought with General Yan.”
“What!?” Lin Yanyan was surprised.
“This… This slave is not sure. This slave heard the sound at the time but didn’t dare to go in. Later, Ling Qing told me to leave it alone.”
“Ling Qing?” Lin Yanyan felt that the name was familiar, so she pondered it carefully. Shortly, it occurred to her that Ling Qing was one of the Shadow Guards Beitang Ao raised in the Ming Kingdom.
Hey madam if you don’t want to have your relationship and heart broke better not dig your own grave
Hehe….(((￣へ￣井) Beitang Ao having a weak temperament!? Wow! Who told you that!? *sarcastic (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┸━┸
Thanks for the chapter<3
Women sure do everything to get their hearts broken sometimes. Why not let sleeping dogs lie??
There are somethings that are better left alone ra, but, oh well, I hope you soon find out that your husband is a scum!
Tanks for update! It’s so interesting! Ling Qing will tell the thrue to Ling Yan??😣😣
Why must she dig?? If there isn’t anything you can do about it, let it be!! If there was an actual woman, what do you want to do? Force her into BTA’s harem so you can keep an eye on her? 🙄🙄. Just stop, you are embarrassing yourself! If you don’t like it, tell your husband, accept what he says, or leave him.
Thanks for your hard work!
Oi Oi Oi stop digging up stuff or else you are gonna regret it. I feel like the wife won’t be understanding.
