As soon as the words came out, Zhao Changfu was like being struck by lightning. He stood there blankly for a long time before he stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the little baby. His face was full of excitement, and he was about to cry when he looked at the child.

"She is the third aunt's child..."

Zhao Changfu's hands were shaking, wanting to touch but not daring to. Suddenly he remembered something, and his eyes became puzzled, staring straight at Ye Yunzi, "Why did you, the eldest lady, bring out the third aunt's child?"

Ye Yunzi patted the child gently and said slowly, "Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest lady of the Ye Mansion has not had any other children since she gave birth to a daughter more than ten years ago. Master Ye has been thinking about this and has tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail. Outsiders all praise Master Ye for his deep love and affection. He would rather not have a son than live with one person for the rest of his life."

Having said this, she felt even colder in the heart.

A couple for life? Bullshit!

In fact, my father was only afraid of the power of the Su family, so he didn't dare to remarry, and he had already hidden a mistress in his house.

Ye Yunzi glanced at Zhao Changfu and sneered, "Third Aunt, as the only concubine of the first house, if she is pregnant and the baby is a boy, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory. Maybe her son will take over the Ye Mansion in the future."

After hearing this, Zhao Changfu swayed and his face turned pale.

"What a pity! It's just a girl." Ye Yunzi uttered these words softly and reached out to touch the child's white face.

"She made too many mistakes, and Master Ye was determined to drive her out of the mansion. She suffered a series of blows, and was frightened to the point of giving birth prematurely. But when she saw that it was a girl, she thought that if it wasn't a boy, it would be a capital crime."

"So she came up with a crooked idea and teamed up with the midwife to find a boy to replace the baby."

"No...impossible..." Zhao Changfu couldn't believe it. How could the Third Aunt be so cruel that she didn't even care about her own flesh and blood!

"Tonight, I saw the midwife secretly taking the baby out, so I intercepted her." Ye Yunzi handed the baby to Zhao Changfu, who took it with trembling hands. Looking at the fair and clean little face, his body went limp.

These features are a replica of the Third Aunt's.

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Mrs. Li what's going on with this child."

Zhao Changfu was speechless for a long time, his heart full of loss and despair. The little baby in his arms was so well-behaved, but the third aunt cruelly abandoned her just because she was not a boy.

"Wan'er, how can you be so cruel?"

"Why? Why would you abandon our two children..."

Everyone has a weakness.

Zhao Changfu was very kind to his third aunt. No matter what her request was, he would do it for her, no matter how hard it would take.

As for the Third Aunt, she was cold-blooded and heartless, and only treated him as a pawn, ignoring him. As long as he was by her side and could help her with things, that was enough.

But now, Zhao Changfu's heart was completely cold and shattered. He hugged the little baby tightly in his arms, completely stunned.

The Third Aunt had no regard for him at all. She could even abandon her own flesh and blood. She was such a cold-blooded animal. From the beginning to the end, she only wanted wealth and glory and the throne of Lady of the Ye Mansion.

Zhao Changfu was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and knelt down in front of Ye Yunzi with a plop.

"Miss." His lips trembled. He had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start. His affair with the Third Aunt was a capital crime; his child was an even graver sin. If Master Ye knew about this, they would both be beaten to death.

"Miss, I deserve to die a thousand times, but...but the child is innocent. Please have mercy on me and let this child live..."

A real man sheds blood but not tears, but at this moment, his eyes were red and his body was shaking.

The eldest daughter was extremely smart. She sent the child to him, so she must have investigated the matter thoroughly. He couldn't deny his affair with the third concubine.

Now, he just hopes to keep the child.

Ye Yunzi said lightly: "Leaving this child behind is just a source of trouble. Even her own mother doesn't want her anymore, so why are you still protecting her?"

"She..." Zhao Changfu's voice trembled as he looked at the little life in the cradle. "She is my flesh and blood, the only person in the world who is connected to me by blood. Even if Third Aunt doesn't want her, I am still her father."

Zhao Changfu's feelings for his third aunt were completely gone.

Right now, the little baby in the cradle has become his only concern and he has to protect him.

Ye Yunzi looked at Zhao Changfu and curled the corners of her mouth slightly. She knew that her goal had been achieved.

Expose the Third Aunt, let her father drive her out of the house, and then regain his favor? No, these are not what she wants. Even if the Ye Mansion is turned upside down, it has nothing to do with her. She just wants to take her mother away as soon as possible.

My mother is poisoned and can't delay any longer. She must find Doctor Tao to detoxify her immediately.

……

"Take the child away from the capital, never come back, and never see Third Aunt again. Can you do it?" Ye Yunzi asked coldly.

Zhao Changfu was startled, raised his head, and stared at her blankly, "Miss..."

Is the young lady going to let him off the hook? He had done all those things, including hooking up with the concubine of the Ye family and harming the young lady. Any one of them would make him suffer.

I didn't expect the eldest lady would show leniency?

Ye Yunzi's eyes were as cold as ice and she narrowed them slightly.

Zhao Changfu reacted and nodded vigorously, "I will get out of here right now. I will never set foot in the capital in my life, and I will never see Third Aunt again. Miss, you are so kind to me. I will remember it with all my heart. From now on, I will repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse."

……

The next day, Qingfulou got a new manager and the original one disappeared.

Everything seemed peaceful in the Ye Mansion.

Ye Yunzi covered her mouth with her hands, yawned, and looked tired.

Leng Xue watched from the side, thinking that she would be sleepy after tossing and turning all night last night. But she didn't understand why the young lady was so kind and let Zhao Changfu and the child go.

Doing this will not benefit the young lady at all. Instead, it will help the Third Aunt cover up her crime. No one will know that she switched babies, let alone who the adulterer is.

Ye Yunzi noticed Leng Xue's eyes and guessed what she was thinking.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. The higher you climb, the harder you fall." She said lightly, waving a folding fan, feeling the breeze on her face, feeling very comfortable.

She looked into the distance, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a coldness flashed in her dark eyes.

When the Third Aunt plotted to harm her, she didn't give her a chance to breathe, pressing her step by step and doing a lot of bad things in secret. This time, she wanted to ruin her reputation.

She will not sit still and wait for death. If others want to deal with her, she will retaliate double.

Leng Xue listened to her words and always felt that her tone was a bit like that of an adult, both of them were decisive and ruthless.

……

The other side of the yard.

The third aunt held the child in her arms, her face full of love, and played with the child.

Ye Ziru, who was standing by, had an unpleasant expression on her face. She wanted to speak several times but held back.
