The people in the palace went to great lengths to find the midwife who lived far away in Beijing and put pressure on her to tell the truth.

In the end, the midwife admitted with tears in her eyes that the child sold to the Ye family was born by Hongxiu.

She didn't know at that time that the child was the descendant of Prince Xiao, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to do so even if she had the courage.

After learning the truth, Prince Xiao became furious and immediately went to the Ye Mansion to question him.

The whole Ye family was in a panic and at a loss. Facing the angry Prince Xiao, he pointed out the behavior of the Ye family stealing babies and slapped Master Ye mercilessly, "How dare you do such a heartless thing!"

Mr. Ye was horrified and quickly explained that all this was a conspiracy secretly planned by his aunt and he was completely unaware of it.

However, Prince Xiao already had all the evidence, including information obtained from the servants and doctors of the Ye Mansion, proving that Ye Chongde deliberately adopted a child and pretended it was his own because he was infertile.

"Ye Chongde, just wait and see!" Prince Xiao left after giving this warning.

When he saw the little life that looked so similar to his son, tears welled up in his eyes.

Thinking about almost losing his only bloodline, he felt indescribable pain in his heart.

Aunt Qiu handed the child back to Prince Xiao tremblingly, feeling terrified inside.

Ever since the eldest daughter revealed this secret several months ago, she has been haunted by nightmares every night, worrying that this day will eventually come.

Now, her premonition has come true, and the future will be extremely difficult for the Ye family.

From then on, Prince Xiao began to target the Ye family everywhere, setting up obstacles in the officialdom and business areas, making the Ye family's life more and more difficult.

Although Mr. Ye had complaints, he had nowhere to appeal. He could only silently blame all the faults on the deceased Third Aunt and wished he could cut her into pieces.

If the Third Aunt had never set foot in the Ye Mansion, perhaps everything would be different...

Master Ye walked slowly to the pear tree and stared at the bare branches. He seemed to still see Su's gentle smile. Under this tree, they had played chess, played the piano, and played the flute together and had a wonderful time.

"Qinghe..." Master Ye whispered softly.

Aunt Qiu was filled with regret.

In order to become an aunt, she betrayed her wife who had been so kind to her, and even turned her back on her own mother.

However, the good times did not last long, and within a few months they fell into such a miserable situation.

The room was cold and silent, without even a hint of warm charcoal fire.

She sat on the bed, staring at the bronze mirror in front of her with empty eyes. Aunt Zhao once asked her if she regretted it.

If she had not tried every possible means to win favor, she might have married her childhood sweetheart, her cousin. Although he was just an ordinary servant, he was a kind-hearted man who treated others sincerely. They could have had a happy family.

"Do you regret it?"

But it's too late to say anything now.

Qiu'er's eyes were dazed as she wrapped the scattered jewelry and silver into her handkerchief.

Then he called the maid and told her, "Make sure to deliver it."

"I'll go right away." The maid nodded in agreement.

After finishing this matter, Qiu'er felt unprecedented relief and breathed a long sigh of relief.

When I opened the door, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew towards me, freezing me.

She walked forward step by step, looking at the pure white world in front of her, with a smile on her lips, "Madam, I can only pay you back in the next life."

……

"Someone come! Someone fell into the pond!"

"It's Aunt Qiu!"

The water in the pool was extremely cold, and the surface was covered with a thin layer of ice. As her body gradually sank, the cold invaded her whole body, but at the last moment of her life, a relieved smile bloomed on her face.

The maid delivered the wrapped items to the Su residence as instructed.

When Aunt Zhao took it, her hands trembled slightly. This handkerchief was the gift she embroidered for her daughter.

"This is...Qiu'er asked me to do it?"

Aunt Qiu's figure appeared in the mansion, and the servant nodded in confirmation.

Nanny Zhao's hands trembled slightly as she slowly unfolded the handkerchief in her hand.

There were not only some silver jewelry hidden inside, but also a note.

When she read the contents of the note, her eyes went dark and she passed out.

The turmoil in the Su Mansion has now shifted to Master Ye. All his past evil deeds have been exposed one by one, and the evil deeds done by the Third Aunt are also exposed.

All of this was the result of Ye Yunzi's secret planning. If Ye Chongde was not so heartless, she might not have taken such measures, but now that things have come to this, it can only be said that she reaped the fruits of her own labor.

Prince Xiao was overjoyed when he found his long-lost family member and held a grand banquet in honor of the child.

At the same time, he also specially sent a generous gift to Shen Siyan, privately hinting that he would definitely help if there was a need in the future.

At the same time, the Ye family was plagued by internal and external troubles. The second wife, in particular, was extremely dissatisfied with the status quo and believed that the whole family should not bear the consequences for the mistakes made by the first wife.

They immediately went to Old Madam Ye to ask for a division of the family property.

"Although what the master did was wrong, our entire mansion is implicated by it. This is really unfair." Everyone echoed.

In fact, the second branch had been coveting power for a long time, but had always kept it to itself.

Now that they see the opportunity, they can't wait to seize power.

Faced with such a request, Old Madam Ye seemed particularly old and weak, and finally nodded helplessly and agreed to the division.

In name it was a separation of the family, but in reality it was to drive Ye Chongde out of the house.

Having lost his former support, Ye Chongde's life became no different from that of a street beggar.

After the Su family learned that Master Ye was now in a state of poverty, the news quickly reached Ye Yunzi's ears.

In just a few days, the situation changed dramatically.

No one showed sympathy for Ye Chongde's experience. Instead, they felt that it was the retribution he deserved.

When Nanny Qin went to the Ye Mansion to collect the relics left by Qiu'er, she found that the entire house was deserted and almost empty.

This scene touched her so deeply that her hair turned white overnight.

However, in order to take care of Su who was still in a coma, Nanny Qin quickly adjusted her mood.

Ever since that serious blow, Su had been running a high fever until Tao Qiming tried many methods and was able to barely control the condition.

Nanny Qin took care of the lady wholeheartedly and her heart was filled with pity for her.

Ye Yunzi came to visit her mother every day, holding her mother's hand tightly and feeling guilty.

She thought that if a decision had been made earlier, things would not have developed to this point and her mother would not have fallen into a coma.

Seeing the young lady's thin face, although Nanny Qin felt heavy in her heart, she still tried to force out a smile to comfort her: "Don't worry, Doctor Tao said that as long as you rest well, the lady will wake up soon."

"Okay." Ye Yunzi responded softly.

There seems to be nothing to do at this moment except waiting.
