The third aunt closed her eyes. When she was carried into the room and there was no one around, she slowly opened her eyes.

"mother?"

Ye Zi was surprised and hurried over.

The third aunt turned her head and looked at Ye Ziru. The pain on her face and the pain in her stomach told her that she was really going to give birth. "Ziru, don't worry, mother will be fine. After the baby is born, I will naturally find a way to make the master change his mind."

"Mom, what if...what if it's a girl?" Ye Ziru said tremblingly with an unsightly look on her face.

If they were pregnant with a girl, they would definitely be kicked out of the house.

The Third Aunt bit her lower lip, her face livid, "No, I'm definitely carrying a son! The doctor checked my pulse before, and it's definitely a son..."

"mother……"

……

"Get out of the way, Miss Fourth, what are you doing here? Don't get in the way of our work." The nanny said impatiently and yelled directly at Ye Ziru.

Ye Ziru felt bitter and could only clench her fists and go out in shame.

In the current situation, no one likes them, mother and daughter. The situation is unfavorable, and they can only endure it.

"The midwife is here, get out of the way, don't block her way."

A middle-aged woman came in and directed the servants to boil water, get scissors, and light a candle.

The midwife sat on the bed and lifted up Third Aunt's clothes. "Don't worry, Madam. I, Li, have been delivering babies for more than 20 years. I have delivered dozens, if not hundreds. I guarantee that your delivery will be smooth."

"Everyone else should go out first. It will be chaotic if there are too many people."

The midwife waved her hand and asked the maids to go out, and she began to concentrate on delivering the baby.

Outside the house, Ye Ziru's heart was in turmoil, her right eyelid was twitching, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"It has to be a boy," she muttered softly.

……

"Ma'am, try harder, try harder."

"what……"

There were cries of pain coming from the room. Third Aunt was using all her strength to give birth to the baby. Sweat was pouring down her face and pain was written all over her face.

"It's almost out, try harder..." the midwife encouraged.

The third concubine grabbed the curtain beside the bed tightly, and with a strong force, she pulled the curtain down. Her body was covered in blood and she was in excruciating pain.

Suddenly, a baby cried and the midwife held the child, smiling like a flower.

"Ma'am, the baby was born safely."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" The third aunt asked the midwife, staring at her.

"It's a daughter." The midwife didn't notice the strangeness of the Third Aunt and answered directly. The child was very beautiful, with fair and tender skin and a face as clean as porcelain. She was carved from the same mold as this lady.

The Third Aunt's heart skipped a beat, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. Her eyes were empty as she stared blankly ahead.

“No…No way!”

If she gave birth to a girl, Ye Chongde would never even look at her. This baby must be a boy.

"No, she's not a girl, she's a young master, the young master of the Ye Mansion."

"lady?"

The midwife looked at the Third Aunt in confusion.

The third aunt struggled to get up, ignoring the blood flowing from her lower body, and grabbed the midwife by the collar, staring at her fiercely. Her pair of shiny black eyes were like those of a demon crawling out of hell, which made people tremble with fear.

The midwife's hands shook and she almost dropped the baby girl.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

The third concubine stared at the midwife and said, "Mrs. Li, don't you recognize me?"

"Madam, you...you are..." Mrs. Li carefully looked at the third concubine's eyebrows and eyes, and then she recognized her as Ye Wan'er from that year! This girl actually turned over and became the concubine of the Ye family.

"Mrs. Li, I still remember clearly what you did. You took the silver and strangled the child of Mr. Zhang's eldest wife with your own hands. I saw it with my own eyes."

When Mrs. Li heard this, her face turned pale and her lips trembled.

"If I tell anyone about this, your life will be in danger." The third aunt threatened coldly.

Mrs. Li knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, what are you doing? This is all a long time ago... Please, spare my life."

"You want me to let you go? Okay, but you have to do me a favor."

The third aunt looked down at the newborn baby girl. She was obviously her biological daughter, but there was only disgust in her eyes, not a trace of kindness.

Why is this child not a son but a girl?

You little girl are of no use at all.

"I gave birth to a son." She spoke coldly, enunciating each word.

"This..." Mrs. Li was so frightened that her body was shaking. She clearly gave birth to a girl, so how could it be a son?

The Third Aunt clenched her fists and stared at Li Pozi, not even noticing her nails digging into her flesh. "I gave birth to... a son. You have to find a baby boy to swap with this girl. If you don't help me, I will expose all my secrets and we will both be finished."

Mrs. Li swallowed her saliva and was frightened when she saw the fierce eyes of the Third Aunt.

She looked at the baby in her arms tremblingly, and finally made up her mind and nodded.

"Row."

The newborn baby was born, crying loudly, and the cry penetrated the eaves and spread out.

The people outside the house stretched their necks and heard the child crying, then they breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the mother and child were safe.

Ye Ziru's heart was in her throat. She looked around the room, wondering whether Third Aunt had given birth to a boy or a girl. If it was a girl... She clenched her fists secretly, her face tense.

Inside the room, the Third Aunt's face was pale, her skirt was stained with blood, and her deep dark eyes were fixed on the midwife.

Mrs. Li held the baby in her arms in a daze, forgetting to comfort it. The baby cried so loudly that one cry was heard above the other.

Knock, knock, knock! There was a knock on the door, and the old nanny's voice came, "Mrs. Li, how is it? How is the birth of my aunt?"

Mrs. Li finally came to her senses, looked down at the little girl, quickly picked up the cloth beside her and wrapped her up, calmed down, then went to open the door, forced a smile, and said happily: "Congratulations, it's a young master."

"It's the young master?" The old nanny's eyes widened with surprise. She secretly nudged the maid next to her with her elbow and whispered, "Go and tell the master that the aunt gave birth to a little master."

"Hey." The maid responded and ran away quickly.

The master had no son for many years, and today he had a son. This is a great joy.

Even if the Third Aunt has no merit, she has worked hard. Now that she gave birth to a son, perhaps the master will be moved by her.

Not far away, Ye Ziru seemed to have all her strength drained out and sat down on the ground. When she heard that her aunt had given birth to a son, she smiled bitterly, "It's a son... That's great, it's a son..."

On the bed, the third aunt's face was pale. She lay back on the bed, breathing weakly.

This was a risky move on her part; no matter what, the baby had to be a son.

Mrs. Li held the child tightly, feeling that the child was hot. If anyone dared to lift the cloth, they would immediately know that it was a girl. Cheating the adults in the Ye Mansion was a capital crime. She was dancing on a tightrope and could fall into it if she was not careful.
