Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Good News And Bad News
Duan Yixin was very happy with Xuan Ruiquan’s arrangement and asked, “Do you live here alone?”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded, “Yes. My mother passed away when I was very young, and I don’t have many memories of her. In addition to this mansion, I also owned Yong’an Zhang Gongzhu’s Mansion after my mother passed away.”

“Your mother is Yong’an Zhang Gongzu?” Duan Yixin asked in surprise.

Xuan Ruiquan nodded again, and then Duan Yixin asked hesitantly, “Then… you and the current ruling emperor…”

Seeing her hesitation, Xuan Ruiquan smiled and said, “Emperor Yong’an is my elder maternal cousin. My mother and his father are siblings born from the same mother.”

When Duan Yixin heard this, she fell silent and just stared at him. Seeing her like this, Xuan Ruiquan held her hand tighter and joked, “Xin’er, you won’t abandon me just because of silly excuses such as you are not worthy of me, will you?”

Although his tone was light and he was smiling, Duan Yixin still noticed the strength of his hold on her hand and the sweat on his palm.

‘Did he want to use this as a joke to test me? But I’m really curious about his persistence in my hatred of the imperial family. I don’t know what I did in his previous life to make him have such a belief.’

Seeing her deep in thought, Xuan Ruiquan’s heartbeat sped up. He clenched his other hand to control his anxiety and changed the topic, “Xin’er, this is the room I prepared for you. See if you like it.”

After coming back from her thoughts, Duan Yixin looked at the building in front of her. Xuan Ruiquan said it was a room, but to her, it looked more like a house. The courtyard had gardens, fish ponds, pavilions, and even beautiful swings, as well as more than five independent buildings.

Duan Yixin looked at Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Is this courtyard next to your courtyard?”

Xuan Ruiquan smiled and said, “This is the side wing of my courtyard.”

Then he pointed to the right and said, “You can go to my room through that circular doorway. I will show you your room first and then show you our courtyard.”

Pulling towards the main building by Xuan Ruiquan, Duan Yixin couldn’t help but think, ‘Even his courtyard is so big. I wonder how big this mansion is.’

When Xuan Ruiquan showed his house and introduced Duan Yixin to everyone, Zhan Wenmin was waiting for Xie Yanghui to return.

As soon as he arrived, Zhan Wenmin sent a soldier to inform Xie Yanghui in the Jin Yi Army Military Camp. After that, he started meeting with Zhuang Da, the shopkeepers, the accountants, and the stewards who worked for Xie Yanghui.

Just after checking the accounts and listening to Zhuang Da’s report, a servant came over and said, “Butler Zhan, Master is back and waiting for you in the study.”

Zhan Wenmin nodded to the servant, then looked at Zhuang Da and others.

“Leave these books and reports here. I will check them today, and we will have another meeting tomorrow morning.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Da and others all clasped their hands and said, “Yes, Butler Zhan.”

Zhen Wenmin asked Zhuang Da to send away the others and then rushed to the main courtyard. Seeing him coming, the servants stepped aside and greeted him, “Butler Zhan.”

Zhan Wenmin just nodded to the servants and walked directly to the study. When the two soldiers guarding the door saw him coming, they opened the door without saying a word. Walking in, Zhan Wenmin saw Xie Yanghui anxiously pacing back and forth in the study.

As soon as Xie Yanghui saw him, he walked up to Zhan Wenmin and asked, “Lao Zhan, how is it?”

Zhan Wenmin looked into Xie Yanghui’s eyes, which contained expectations, fears, and hopes. Xie Yanghui noticed something was wrong with Zhan Wenmin’s expression and clenched his hands.

“What’s wrong? Just tell me. It’s not just once or twice that I have been disappointed by fake news.” Xie Yanghui said calmly.

Zhan Wenmin was silent for a moment and said, “Master, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

When Xie Yanghui heard this, his expression froze. He looked at Zhan Wenmin and said, “Tell me some good news first.”

Zhan Wenmin took out the jade pendant and gave it back to Xie Yanghui. Then he said, “Master, we found your and Madam’s daughter. She took the Madam’s surname, and Madam named her Duan Yixin. She is sixteen years old and was born at the end of the year. I checked the information, and everything is correct.”

As soon as Zhan Wenmin finished his report, Xie Yanghui was stunned and staggered back. Seeing this, Zhan Wenmin quickly helped him sit down and said, “Master, please calm down.”

Xie Yanghui raised his hand and grabbed Zhan Wenmin’s arm. He looked at Zhan Wenmin and asked in disbelief, “Ling’er and I have a daughter?”

Zhan Wenmin nodded and explained, “Before Lao Furen drove Madam away, I went out to buy plum cakes for her. At that time, I never thought that she was pregnant. However, after looking for her for so many years, I also know that only pregnant women like to eat plum cakes, which are sour and refreshing. It can help them fight nausea and vomiting in the early stage of pregnancy.”

After hearing his explanation, Xie Yanghui let go of his arm. After a moment of silence, Xie Yanghui suddenly beat himself up and scolded, “I’m a bastard! I don’t deserve to be Ling’er’s husband! I don’t deserve to be Yixin’s father!”

Zhan Wenmin’s eyes turned red when he saw him like this. He could only stand beside Xie Yanghui and accompany him silently. After a long time, Xie Yanghui asked tremblingly, “What’s the bad news?”

This time, Zhan Wenmin really didn’t know what to do or how to answer Xie Yanghui’s question.
