Aunt Qiu felt a chill coming over her, as if she was frozen, and was unable to move for a moment.

"Aunt?" the maid next to her reminded softly.

Aunt Qiu, who had just come to her senses, forced a smile and said, "Come and hold the young master. My arms are a little sore..."

The maid who took the child gently patted the baby's back, and the little guy immediately smiled brightly, with the curved corners of his eyes like stars in the night sky.

"Young Master, let me accompany you there."

As the maid left, Aunt Qiu calmed herself down and looked at Ye Yunzi's position again. After staring for a while, she seemed to have made a decision and quietly clenched her teeth.

Not long after, a maid quietly walked up to Ye Yunzi and whispered something.

Ye Yunzi raised her eyes and narrowed them slightly.

"Yunzi, what happened?" the mother asked with concern.

Ye Yunzi paused for a moment and said, "Mother, there is something important that needs to be dealt with. I will be back soon. Please wait here for a while."

"It's okay, just go and don't worry about me." The mother said gently. She didn't want to be an obstacle on her daughter's way forward, and decided to support and protect her daughter more firmly from now on.

"Okay." Ye Yunzi replied, then got up and left.

Ye Yunzi stood up and left with peace of mind after feeling her mother's firm gaze. She followed Aunt Xu through the banquet hall, walked through the long corridor and courtyard, and finally came to the rockery.

This is Aunt Qiu’s residence.

Since being promoted from a maid to a concubine, Qiu'er moved into a spacious new courtyard.

Since the backyard of the big house was empty, she became the only owner here and lived a free life.

At this moment, Qiu'er was wearing gorgeous clothes and exquisite gold and jade jewelry on her head. She was standing beside the rockery watching their arrival.

Ye Yunzi approached with a blank expression on her face.

Although her identity is different now, Qiu'er still feels an inexplicable pressure when facing Ye Yunzi, and lowers her head involuntarily.

"All of you retreat." Qiu'er ordered.

Nanny Xu responded and left with the other maids, leaving the two alone.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Ye Yunzi asked, her voice as cold as the wind.

Qiu'er's body trembled slightly. Under the other person's gaze, she seemed to have returned to the days when she was a maid. She was so nervous that she couldn't speak.

"Miss..." She was about to use the old title, but then she realized it was wrong and quickly changed her words, "I have a question."

Qiu'er's heart was in turmoil. She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. Her nails dug deep into her palms without her noticing. Her hands were full of sweat. She mustered up her courage and raised her head to ask, "Why did the young lady let me go?"

This problem has troubled her for a long time, because according to the eldest lady's previous style, anyone who is not good to her and her family will not have a good ending.

However, not only was he not punished, but he was given a good position.

Ye Yunzi stared at her quietly, with a power that could penetrate people's hearts in her eyes, making Qiu'er dare not look directly at her. "Let you go?" She chuckled, "Haha."

This laughter made Qiu'er feel cold in her heart. Whenever the eldest lady showed such a smile, something bad would happen. Even the once arrogant concubine Ye was driven out of the mansion, and her life or death was unknown.

"I have never taken the initiative to harm anyone. It's all because of their own mistakes." Ye Yunzi said slowly.

In order to protect her loved ones from the tragedy of her previous life, she will fight back mercilessly against anyone who threatens her.

“Miss, what you said... is too harsh... Now that you are no longer a member of the Ye family, you can no longer treat me as you please.” Qiu'er defended herself with a trembling voice, as if she had found a bit of confidence.

"Indeed, I have no intention of doing anything to you." Ye Yunzi smiled again, this time her smile was warm and charming, making it difficult to look away.

Ye Yunzi spoke word by word: "You poisoned my mother's medicine, and my father almost strangled my mother to death because of this matter..." Her words were as cold as ice, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Qiu'er was frightened by these words and took a step back, her face turning pale.

Ye Yunzi approached step by step, Qiu'er stepped back with trembling steps, and finally stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Ye Yunzi stopped and said calmly: "I have warned you, this is all your own fault."

"Do you still remember that my father was infertile?" Ye Yunzi asked.

A hint of surprise flashed across Qiu'er's eyes. She knew for sure because she had accidentally heard the doctor's diagnosis.

"So, do you know that the child born to Concubine Ye is not my father's biological child?" Ye Yunzi raised a strange smile, "Concubine Ye had an affair with an outsider. In order to maintain her position, she concealed the truth and gave birth to that child."

Qiu'er had heard these things before, but the following words made her eyes widen.

"Interestingly, Aunt Ye actually gave birth to a baby girl." Ye Yunzi continued, "In order to ensure that she could inherit the Ye family's incense, she colluded with the midwife and found a baby boy from outside to replace her."

"Where did that baby boy come from?"

Ye Yunzi's eyes drifted into the distance, and she said calmly, "I heard that although Miss Hongxiu in Xueyu Tower did not sell her body, she got pregnant unexpectedly. She once played the piano for Xiao Xiaowangye, and not long ago, Xiao Xiaowangye died of illness.

Prince Xiao lost his only son and was devastated... At this time, he learned that his son might have left behind a bloodline. "

Ye Yunzi's voice was like telling a story, making Qiu'er's heart beat wildly and her eyes open wider.

"Prince Xiao found the prostitute, but she had gone mad and cried all day long, hugging her pillow: 'Give me back my child...'"

Ye Yunzi smiled coldly again: "What's even more coincidental is that it is said that the midwife went to Xueyu Tower to help Miss Hongxiu give birth the day before she delivered Madam Ye."

Qiu'er's body staggered and she almost fell to the ground, stammering and unable to speak.

"Do you think this story is exciting?" Ye Yunzi asked.

Qiu'er's face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and she was filled with fear.

The descendants of Prince Xiao... Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"I think the Third Young Master is very smart and noble, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future..." Ye Yunzi finally put away all her expressions and said calmly, "Dad is so happy to have a son in his old age."

Qiu Er was completely frozen, her eyes trembling with fear.

Ye Yunzi glanced at her coldly, then turned and left.

After a long time, the servants found Aunt Qiu slumped on the ground and hurried forward to help her: "Aunt, it's so cold, why are you sitting on the ground?"
