And since that romantic night, Lexu and her husband's relationship improved. They smiled at each other as they took care of the orphanage. Other caretakers sometimes found them stealing glances at each other. Apparently, love blossomed again on the old couple.

The time when Lexu and Yang Chuo were about to return to Jiuchongtian because their sentences had ended. They visited Bai Qian. Bai Zhi, Zhe Yan and Feng Jiu accepted their presence.

Their daughter-in-law was still very weak because of the incident that made her almost miscarry. Lexu felt more and more guilty, she kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. Bai Qian just looked away and cried with Lexu because their presence reminded Bai Qian that Ye Hua's marriage to Ming Xia was getting closer. Bai Qian didn't say a word, until Feng Jiu spoke on behalf of her aunt, "Your Excellency Lady Lexu, it seems that Gugu has not been able to deal with all of this. I beg you to give her some time to think."

Lexu nodded, "Okay, I will." She got up, "I'm also sorry for the way I treated you, Dihou. I'm really sorry."

Feng Jiu patted Lexu on the shoulder. "Never mind, I understand everything that prompts you to act in such a way."

"Thank you. Thank you."

Feng Jiu hugged Lexu who was crying again.

"Hah, all matters are settled now," Bai Zhi said as they were in the living room of the fox cave without Bai Qian. Yang Chuo nodded, "It's just, we feel ashamed for the marriage that has to happen between Ye Hua and Ming Xia."

Lexu spoke between sobs, "I was the one who pushed Ye Hua to marry her because of her already pregnant condition. What else could I do at that time. He used to take Bai Qian who was pregnant as Susu, and now Ming Xia. Why does he always bring women along the one he got pregnant every time he came home from war?"

Feng Jiu asked, "Princess Lexu, are you sure it's uncle's baby?"

"Ye Hua admits it." Lexu nodded sadly.

Zhe Yan spoke up. "There is a bit of black dragon essence in Ming Xia's fetus. If Ye Hua has acknowledged it, then it is indeed his. How is Ming Xia now?'

"Last time we left her, she was still weak." Yang Chuo replied. "We don't even know if she can make it through the wedding ceremony."

"If that's the case, why does the ceremony have to be grand and elaborate? Bai Zhi asked.

"That's how stupid we are," Yang Chuo replied. "It seems that Ming Xia's presence is indeed used as a tool of power for some parties."

"Hmm," Bai Zhi stroked his beard. "Beware of a coup d'etat. If you need help, Qin Que is ready to help."

They both nodded.

Then in the end, they had to beg to go back to Jiuchongtian. When Lexu was about to stand up from her seat, her body swayed. Yang Chuo caught her body so that it leaned against his shoulder. Bai Zhi and Feng Jiu got worried. "Rest here first." An offer from Bai Zhi.

Yang Chuo shook his head, "No thanks." He didn't feel good about accepting Bai Zhi's kindness after hurt his heart. "We'll be fine."

They sent them both away.

Arriving at Jiuchongtian, Hao de turned out to have returned from his mortal probation. He was more moody than before. The policy had returned.

Lexu locked herself in her room because her condition wasn't any better either. Yang Chuo visited her every two nights. Even though the man still had to share himself with other wives, he still remembered his promise to Lexu at the beginning of their reunion.
