Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

As night fell, the mansion was brightly lit. After the mother and son shared a warm dinner, Honghui's little face still had a hint of sadness.

Seeing this, Yi Ya felt softened and decided to use some special methods to dispel the haze in her son's heart.

"Bai Zhi, go get my chessboard." Yi Ya said softly, her eyes full of tenderness and love. Bai Zhi heard it and left quickly, and soon came back with an exquisite chessboard.

The chessboard slowly unfolds on the table, with black and white chess pieces complementing each other, foreshadowing a battle of wits that is about to unfold.

Yiya pulled Honghui to sit down and said softly, "Come on, Hui'er, let's play a game of chess. Maybe it will make you feel better."

Although Honghui agreed, he was still absent-minded at first, occasionally glancing out the window, as if he was expecting something.

However, as the game progressed, his attention was gradually drawn and he began to devote himself to this silent battle.

Seeing this, Yi Ya curled up a barely perceptible smile. She deliberately left a flaw in the chess game, allowing Honghui to gradually gain the upper hand without realizing it.

After a fierce game, Honghui finally won with a clever offensive.

He suddenly put down the chess piece in his hand and jumped up happily. The sadness on his face was swept away, replaced by an innocent smile. "I won! Mother, I really won!" He shouted excitedly.

Yiya looked at Honghui lovingly and asked softly, "Are you feeling better now?"

Honghui nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Much better, thank you, mother!" he said gratefully.

"That's good. Go and play by yourself for a while. Be careful not to fall." Yi Ya patted Honghui's back gently and watched him run out of the yard happily, her heart full of relief.

When Honghui's figure completely disappeared from her sight, Yiya turned around and called Nanny Su.

"Mammy, please prepare some easily digestible food. I will send it to the Fourth Master later. He has been very busy today and I'm afraid he hasn't had time to eat." Yi Ya instructed carefully.

When Nanny Su heard that it was prepared for Yinzhen, she nodded and agreed.

"Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will prepare everything properly." After saying that, she turned and left, and her busy figure soon disappeared into the night.

Yi Ya looked in the direction where Nanny Su left, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this simple care could warm Yinzhen's tired heart, and that this family would always be filled with love and harmony.

It was late at night, the lights in the mansion were dim, and the sound of Nanny Su's footsteps was particularly clear in the silence.

Soon, she came to Yi Ya with an exquisite food box, which was filled with an easily digestible, light dinner carefully prepared for Yinzhen.

Yi Ya smiled and nodded to thank Nanny Su, then told Bai Zhi to take the food box, and the two of them walked towards Yinzhen's study together.

Outside the study, the moonlight was bright and the atmosphere was peaceful, as if even time had slowed down.

Just like when Yuanbao visited before, there was still no sound in the study. Only the occasional sound of the night watchman beating in the distance could be heard, echoing with the quiet night.

When the young eunuch outside the door saw Yi Ya, he hurried forward and bowed softly, appearing extremely respectful.

"Fujin is fine." The young eunuch said in a soft voice.

Yi Ya also responded softly, and then asked softly: "Is the Fourth Master still in the study? Is there any movement?"

The young eunuch shook his head and replied, "My Lady, it's still the same. The Fourth Master has been in there the whole time and has never come out."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya nodded slightly, then raised her hand and knocked lightly on the study door.

In the study, Yinzhen was immersed in paperwork when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was a servant coming to report, so he casually said, "Come in."

The door slowly opened, and Yinzhen looked up, only to find that it was Yi Ya standing at the door. A hint of surprise and tenderness flashed in his eyes.

He quickly stood up, walked quickly to Yi Ya, reached out and gently held her arm, and asked with concern: "Why are you here so late?"

Yi Ya smiled slightly, her eyes fell gently on Yin Zhen, and she reminded him softly: "Master, didn't you promise Hong Hui to accompany him tonight? I saw that you haven't returned yet, so I came to see you."

Yinzhen felt guilty when he heard this. He looked at Yiya and asked anxiously, "Is Honghui... is he okay? I have been busy with government affairs these days and forgot the agreement with him."

Yiya gently patted the back of Yinzhen's hand to comfort him, and while taking food out of the food box, she replied: "He was indeed a little disappointed at first, but then I played chess with him for a while, and told him that you were too busy with work to accompany him, and he felt much better. Now he is playing by himself."

Yinzhen felt even more guilty when he heard this. He looked at Yiya gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Yiya. You are always so careful and considerate."

Yi Ya shook her head and placed the food on the table one by one. Then she stopped and looked at Yin Zhen seriously, and asked softly, "Master, I see that you seem to be worried tonight. What is it that is troubling you so much?"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment. He knew that in the past, he might have chosen to conceal it, but now that he and Yi Ya had gone through ups and downs together, he cherished this trust and tacit understanding even more.

So he slowly opened his mouth and told Yi Ya that he had discovered that Soetu had secretly accepted bribes.

After hearing this, Yi Ya did not show any surprise, but explained in a calm and wise tone: "Fourth Master, if this matter is true, it will be revealed sooner or later. If you forcibly intervene, you may be involved in unnecessary disputes and even offend the prince. In my opinion, it is better to concentrate on doing your job well, follow the emperor unswervingly, and be a loyal minister. This is what we should do now."

After hearing this, Yinzhen's mind suddenly became clear. He looked at Yi Ya with gratitude, knowing that with her by his side, he had the most solid support.

He held Yiya's hand tightly and said sincerely: "Yiya, you are right. Thank you for always giving me guidance when I am confused."

Yi Ya smiled softly in response and said softly, "We are husband and wife, and everything is as it should be. Eat something quickly, and don't tire yourself out."

In the study, the lights were warm, the two smiled at each other, and all their worries seemed to disappear at this moment.
