Chapter 53 is approaching...
Recently, Yan Yize has been riding high, his relationship with Shang Xu has grown stronger day by day, and good news has also come from the palace.
Before dawn, Yan Yize could no longer sleep, not because of worries, but because of excitement. After years of painstaking planning, the person who had framed her father had finally been punished.
Yan Yize turned her head, hugged Shang Xu tightly in her arms, and gently kissed his forehead. Now she could finally comfort her father's spirit in heaven.
Her movements were very gentle, but Shang Xu still opened his eyes groggily, unsure whether it was because of her movements or because he sensed her excitement.
The two were deeply in love, and naturally went to bed late last night. Worried that he hadn't slept enough, Yan Yize placed his hand on his back and gently patted him as if soothing a baby, his voice softening unconsciously, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Shang Xu was already exhausted, and upon hearing her words, he snuggled closer to her, gave a drowsy low reply, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Yan Yi couldn't sleep, but she didn't want to disturb him, so she quietly traced his eyebrows and eyes with her gaze. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were closed, forming a slit, his thick eyelashes were like raven feathers, and his lips were thin and red. Every part of him was etched into her heart, and the more she described him, the more she liked him.
A thought suddenly popped into my head: if I have a child in the future, will he look more like him or more like me?
Yan Yize remained silent and pondered for a long time without finding an answer, but one thing she was certain of was that whether it was someone like him or someone like her, she would feel the same joy.
Her thoughts wandered, contemplating the happy life she would have with a child. She couldn't help but smile slightly. Perhaps the imagined future was too beautiful. Yan Yize raised his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, beginning to look forward to the arrival of their child.

After lunch, Yan Yize left the mansion by carriage. The carriage drove along the road and eventually stopped at a street corner crowded with people.
The wide road was packed with people, including not only ordinary citizens watching the spectacle, but also imperial guards in armor and carrying weapons. Yan Yize lifted the curtain at the window and watched coldly.
Before long, the Imperial Guards escorted a group of people out. Yan Yize's gaze fell on the person at the front. The woman was old, but well-maintained and did not show signs of aging. She was hunched over, looked haggard and her face was ashen. She no longer had the noble air she once had.
The stone lions at the entrance still stand majestically, as imposing as ever, but the people living inside are now prisoners.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "It was she who embezzled disaster relief funds and protected her clansmen who oppressed the people!"
Upon hearing this, the quiet onlookers immediately became agitated, their expressions changing as they hurled insults, "Such a person deserves to die."
"That's right, that's right."
"..."
A rotten vegetable leaf flew through the air, and the others followed suit, throwing whatever they had in their hands, or spitting on it if they didn't have any. For a moment, the scene was quite spectacular.
The Zhao family members, who were usually arrogant and haughty, were now all cowering in fear, covered in eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and dared not utter a sound, for fear of attracting even greater condemnation.
Yan Yize looked up at the sky. The midday sun was blazing, so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes. But she did not back down. She stared straight ahead and said, "Father, do you see? All those who have framed you have received their just deserts."
After watching for a while, Yan Yize probably got bored and lowered the curtain. She had been out for quite a while and was starting to miss Shang Xu. She said, "Hui Xue, let's go back to the manor."
