"Qinghe..." Ye Chongde stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Su's face.

Su moved aside, her body trembling slightly, and now she was unwilling to even look at him.

Ye Chongde's hand hung in the air for a while, and finally he withdrew it awkwardly, "You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."

He left in a hurry, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him, and almost fled out of Zijin Courtyard in a panic.

……

Ye Yunzi lifted the beaded curtain and walked out, looking at her mother.

Su couldn't hold on any longer. She coughed violently. Her handkerchief was stained with bright red blood. The corners of her mouth were stained with blood. "Cough cough... cough cough..."

"Madam." Nanny Zhao screamed and hurried over to support Su.

"mother."

Ye Yunzi also looked at Su anxiously.

Su couldn't calm down for a long time. Ye Chongde refused to divorce her and wanted to force the third concubine's child on her... She gasped for breath, and finally her eyes went dark and she fainted.

Ye Chongde returned to the yard in a restless mood, his mind full of Su's proposal for divorce.

"She's really brave. Divorce? Don't even think about it."

Ye Chongde was pacing back and forth in a state of annoyance when a servant from the Wenma Courtyard came to report: "Master, the Third Aunt has given birth to a little boy who looks exactly like you and is very handsome."

"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master. The mansion finally has a young master."

When Ye Chongde heard this, his brows relaxed. It was a son, and he had an heir.

After waiting for more than ten years and enduring for three to five years, I finally had a son, and I was naturally very happy.

"I have to go and see." He immediately decided to go to Wenmayuan to see the child. With the child, he was in a good mood. He didn't hate the third aunt so much anymore. After all, she gave birth to a son for him.

The servant was hesitant, not knowing whether he should say something or not, "Master..."

"What else?"

"This... Third Aunt gave birth prematurely, and the young master is weak. The midwife said that he must be taken good care of, otherwise... otherwise..." The servant didn't finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.

"These days the young master can't be exposed to the wind, can't see outsiders, and can only be raised by the Third Aunt herself, so that he can grow up healthy. After a hundred days, the young master will be stronger and can see people." Seeing that Ye Chongde's face was getting more and more gloomy, and the room was getting colder, the servants' voices became smaller and smaller, and finally they dared not say a word.

The son that I finally had turned out to be weak due to premature birth.

Ye Chongde's heart tightened and he hurried to Wenmayuan.

All the servants in Wenmayuan were sent away, leaving only a personal maid named Ziyi in the room. Ziyi held the baby and coaxed it. The third concubine barely managed to survive due to heavy bleeding during childbirth, but she was weak and needed good care.

"The master is here." As the door opened, Ye Chongde came in and saw the child in Ziyi's arms at a glance.

"Master." Zi Yi held the child and bowed.

Ye Chongde ran over and wanted to see the child.

Zi Yi looked embarrassed: "Master, the child is weak now, he can't be blown by the wind, and can't lift the quilt..."

Ye Chongde's hand froze in the air, and he finally sighed helplessly and took his hand back. He looked at the child with a look of heartache, because this was his only child, who would inherit the Ye Mansion and take over his legacy in the future.

"Master, cough, cough..." On the bed, the third aunt struggled to sit up, her face pale and looking sick.

Only then did Ye Chongde notice the third aunt and turned to look at her.

"Master, the midwife said that the child is weak and needs me to take care of him personally. Please let me stay in the mansion... at least until the child grows up healthy..." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks. Her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.

"All the faults are mine, but the child is innocent... Master, please let me stay with the child."

The third aunt stood up and coughed weakly twice, her lips were pale.

She staggered and almost fell.

Ye Chongde's heart tightened, and he took a few steps over, sat on the edge of the bed and supported the third aunt.

The Third Aunt leaned weakly beside him. He held her shoulders with both hands and realized that she was so thin that her bones were just skin and bones. He didn't know how she had lived in the past few months to become so thin.

“……”Ye Chongde remained silent.

The third concubine raised her head and smiled weakly, "Master, you have always wanted a son, and I am lucky enough to give birth to a son for you."

Ye Chongde paused, and finally patted her shoulder gently.

In secret, the third aunt's lips curled up into a smile.

As long as the child is there, she will be able to win back the master's heart one day. No matter how powerful Su is, her sick body cannot give birth to a child. What can Ye Yunzi do alone? A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. In the end, she is nothing.

Finally, Ye Chongde ordered the servants to take good care of the Third Aunt and the children, and to send all the best supplements to Wenmayuan.

In Qingxin Courtyard, the old lady's brows finally relaxed when she learned that the third concubine had given birth to a baby boy. The third concubine had been causing trouble and making her unhappy ever since she entered the mansion, but this time she finally did something that made her happy.

"Send that century-old ginseng over to help Third Aunt with her health."

"Madam, this..." The old nanny privately reminded that if she showed special care to the Third Concubine just because she had given birth to a child, the Zijin Court might have objections, after all, the eldest lady was almost killed.

The old lady raised her eyes with a cold expression.

"This old ginseng is not for Auntie to eat. Everything should be based on my grandson. I heard that my grandson was born prematurely and is weak, so the quality of breast milk must be good. Take good care of Third Auntie and don't let her mistreat my grandson."

As she spoke, the old lady began to turn the Buddhist beads in her hand, praying to God to bless her grandson to grow up safely.

The old nanny responded and immediately arranged for someone to deliver the ginseng to Wenmayuan.

……

In the small pavilion next to Zijinyuan.

After helping Su back to her room to rest, Ye Yunzi quietly slipped out of the yard and walked towards the pavilion. She held the note tightly in her hand, feeling extremely nervous, and the note had been crumpled by her.

From afar, the small pavilion and the slender figure in the pavilion came into view.

In the night, his back looked particularly dark and tall, and one felt inexplicably at ease when seeing him.

Ye Yunzi didn't even notice it herself. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She quickened her pace and threw the note in her hand into the lake.

"Shen Siyan."

Shen Siyan turned around when he heard the voice. His eyes were deep and he exuded a cold aura that made it difficult for people to approach him. But when he saw Ye Yunzi, his face softened and a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

"Thanks to your help this time." Ye Yunzi walked forward and expressed her gratitude.

Shen Siyan looked at her steadily without saying a word.

The evening breeze blew by, and in the dark night, the four eyes met in the pavilion, and the atmosphere was inexplicably subtle.

Ye Yunzi was looking at him calmly, but his eyes were too focused, and she couldn't help blushing and her heartbeat. She looked away and turned her head to look into the distance. "If it weren't for the intervention of the head of the Shen family, I'm afraid Ye Guang wouldn't easily confess everything."
