Ye Yunzi smiled contemptuously, and her expression became unusually calm. "It's getting more and more interesting."

"Ah?" Yu Shu was puzzled. The current situation was already tricky enough. Once Aunt Ye gave birth to the child, the situation would become even more complicated. How could the young lady still be so calm?

Ye Yunzi stood up and tapped the table lightly with her fingers, making a rhythmic sound.

She looked into the distance and said coldly, "Do you still remember the incident with the bird's nest last time?"

"I remember." Yu Shu nodded. She saw the maid from the second room delivering bird's nest to Aunt Ye that time, and the young lady switched the ingredients without anyone noticing.

But why mention bird's nest now? Could it be that Yu Shu suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Yunzi, her face full of surprise, "Miss, you mean that someone tampered with the bird's nest at that time?"

Ye Yunzi nodded slightly.

Yu Shu was so shocked that she covered her mouth. It took her a while to come to her senses. "Then how could Concubine Ye be pregnant?"

Yu Shu is kind-hearted and never does anything harmful to others, but she is loyal to Zijinyuan. In order to protect this place, she is willing to do even cruel things.

"There's no problem with Aunt Ye's portion of bird's nest." Ye Yunzi said calmly.

"What?" Yu Shu's eyes widened. After all the twists and turns, the young lady didn't tamper with Aunt Ye's bird's nest! She thought the young lady had used some secret recipe to make Aunt Ye infertile!

Ye Yunzi smiled faintly, "Even if the drug was really given, with Madam Ye's cautiousness, she would not eat it. The bird's nest would probably have already ended up in the swill bucket."

She knew in her heart that Aunt Ye had indeed poured out the bird's nest that the maid had brought her.

But the drugged bird's nest was delivered to Ye Chongde's study.

She saw with her own eyes that Ye Chongde ate all the bird's nest, which was mixed with a cold poison that could make a man lose his fertility.

Ye Chongde lost the possibility of becoming a father without realizing it, and the poison had no effect on other parts of his body, so he was naturally unaware of it.

And the question now is...whose child is in Aunt Ye's belly?

Since Ye Chongde is powerless, Aunt Ye must have found someone else to rely on behind her back.

And Jiaojiao is still pregnant? She wasn't pregnant at this time in her previous life? It seems that Shen Yuming was cheated on.

"Oh, this matter is becoming more and more interesting." Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes and spoke softly, with a smile on her lips. Her deep eyes held unfathomable thoughts.

……

The small courtyard was bustling with activity.

Aunt Ye was lying on the bed, with a gentle smile on her face, "Master, we are going to be parents."

"Yes, Wan'er, you have worked hard... This time it must be a boy!" Ye Chongde held Aunt Ye's hand tightly, his eyes fell on her still flat belly, his eyes full of comfort.

He originally thought that he would never have a son in this life, but unexpectedly, God blessed him and gave him a son. In this way, the Ye family had a legitimate eldest son, and the second branch would never snatch him away.

Aunt Ye looked at him lovingly and nodded in response, "Master, I will. I can feel the little one growing slowly in my belly."

"Wan'er, you have to take care of yourself. I will send a few more maids to take care of you. If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it in. Tell me immediately!"

"Yeah." Aunt Ye snuggled into Ye Chongde's arms and said softly, "Master, sometimes I feel like all this is just a dream. When our child is born, can we give him a proper identity? I don't want him to be said to be born to a concubine and be prejudiced against..."

"He is my son, Ye Chongde, the eldest son of the Ye family. Who dares to look down on him?" Ye Chongde snorted, "Don't worry about these things. I have my own way."

"Thank you, sir."

Aunt Ye's smile grew deeper, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The news of Madam Ye's pregnancy spread quickly throughout the Ye residence. The old lady was so happy when she heard about it that she immediately ordered people to send the best supplements to the small courtyard and gave her many good things. The old lady came to visit Madam Ye in person, which surprised and delighted her.

"Just take good care of your pregnancy." The old lady patted the back of Aunt Ye's hand and said, "You are carrying the future of the Ye family in your belly. You will be in charge of the entire Ye Mansion in the future. There must not be any mistakes! Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Aunt Ye nodded shyly. As a mother is honored by her son, she seemed to have all the attention and power overnight, and everyone revolved around her.

Although the people at Zijinyuan tried their best to keep it secret, the news still reached Mrs. Ye's ears.

Mrs. Ye’s face turned pale and she almost fell down.

"Madam, you must take care of yourself!" Nanny Zhao quickly supported Madam Ye and asked her to sit down.

Madam Ye felt so overwhelmed that she had trouble breathing. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "After all, Madam Ye is pregnant. I should have expected this."

"Madam!" Madam Zhao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Madam Ye, "I'm fine. The Ye family has added a new member and more children. I should be happy."

Although Mrs. Ye seemed frank when she spoke, her smile was uglier than crying, and she looked as if her heart was broken.

The one who is most hurt now is her.

"Miss, this is bad." Qingzhu rushed in anxiously, looking worried, "Madam is ill!"

"mother?"

Ye Yunzi suddenly jumped up from the armchair, her face full of shock. These days, she had been focusing on Aunt Ye, trying to dig out some secrets, but she ignored her mother.

When Aunt Ye became pregnant, the one who was really hit hard was actually Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye still has feelings for Ye Chongde in her heart and hopes that he can change his mind. Now that Ye Chongde has a child with another concubine, it would be strange if the depression in her heart did not turn into an illness.

"Mom!" Ye Yunzi hurried to Mrs. Ye's attic, and as soon as she entered the door, she was smelling a strong smell of medicine.

Madam Ye was lying on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, her former beauty was gone, and Ye Yunzi felt distressed. She walked quickly to the bedside and held Madam Ye's hand.

"Mom." She called softly.

Madam Ye opened her eyes with great effort. Seeing that it was Ye Yunzi, she moved her hands slightly, "Yunzi..."

Ye Yunzi touched Madam Ye's cold hand, her eyes full of worry. Madam Ye struggled to sit up, but suddenly covered her chest and coughed violently, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs.

"Mother, mother!"

Ye Yunzi panicked, "Hurry up and get a doctor!"

Aunt Zhao, who was guarding the door, strode in and handed the hot medicine bowl to Madam Ye, "This is the medicine you should drink, Madam."

Mrs. Ye drank the medicine and her coughing stopped, but her face was still pale.

Ye Yunzi gently patted Mrs. Ye's back to help her calm down.

"Madam has seen many doctors, but it's just a common cold. The most important thing is that she has a knot in her heart, which is why there has been no improvement." Madam Zhao shook her head and sighed. Seeing Madam Ye suffering, she felt sad too and wished she could bear the pain for her.
