On the way to Qinghui Hall, Madam Ye walked quickly, constantly biting her nails, trying to figure out what to do!

So engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice her finger was bleeding, the maidservant on the road was startled to see her mouth full of blood and rushed over to ask what was wrong, which also startled Ye Shi.

The maid was inexplicably scolded and ran away crying.

Ye was so engrossed in her fear that she almost walked into the lake, but luckily Lai's mother was quick to catch her.

When she finally arrived at Qinghui Hall, she felt an unknown panic and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

What to do? What to do? What to do?!

She shouldn't have rushed back in her panic! Leaving Lin Qingwei alone in the Duke's mansion gave that person an opportunity, didn't she? Did they meet? What did they say? Is the truth of what happened back then about to be exposed?

no! no! Absolutely not!

She finally achieved the life she wanted! It can't be ruined like this! Absolutely not!

She doesn't regret what happened back then! Her only regret is that she took a chance, thinking that Lin Qingwei was a son, which would solidify her position in Lin Zhengwen's heart, and that's why she gave birth to her!

I never expected it! I never expected it at all! She actually looks so much like him!

She was biting her nails with her head down, her mind was about to explode, when she suddenly saw a pair of red embroidered shoes on the ground, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Chunqi looked at Madam Ye with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic, but quickly returned to normal and said, "Madam, Miss has been waiting for you for a long time."

With a pale face, Madam Ye nodded. There was nothing she could do but go in and find out the details before making any further plans.

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Ye clenched her fists and walked inside. Lai's mother naturally followed. At this moment, Chunqi took a step forward and blocked Lai's mother's way.

"What are you doing, Miss Chunqi! I am Madam's wet nurse! I follow Madam wherever she goes!"

Madam Ye was also somewhat dissatisfied. She had already been overshadowed by Lin Qingwei, and now her maid dared to take advantage of her and bully her wet nurse. She was about to put on airs as a lady and teach Chunqi a lesson, which would also be a way to vent her anger.

Chunqi glanced at Madam Ye mysteriously: "Miss said this is for Madam's own good. Madam certainly doesn't want any more people to know about those things, right? Even if Granny Lai is Madam's wet nurse, we still have to be careful, don't we?"

Cold sweat practically streamed down her spine, and every hair on Ye's body stood on end.

"Aunt Lai, you stay outside, no one is allowed to come in!"

Lai's mother was seething with anger, but she had no choice but to say, "Yes!"

In the courtyard, Lin Qingwei leisurely trimmed the flowers and plants with a pair of scissors, ignoring Ye Shi who was walking towards her, as if she hadn't seen her at all.

Ye was anxious to know how much Lin Qingwei had heard, but she didn't dare to ask. She just stood there, not daring to move, until Lin Qingwei finished pruning all the flowers and plants.

Putting down the scissors, Lin Qingwei feigned surprise and covered her mouth: "Oh dear, Mother is here! I didn't even see her. I thought it was that clueless servant standing here deliberately blocking my light."

Ye immediately turned to the side, appearing somewhat reserved, completely losing her usual arrogant and picky courage in front of her.

She didn't dare ask directly, so she could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Qingwei likes flowers. If you like them, Mother will have someone bring a few more pots to your yard."

"Okay," Lin Qing replied with a smile. "My daughter loves red apricots the most. Do you have any, Mother?"

The symbolic meaning of the two words "red apricot" was too obvious. Ye was stunned as if struck by lightning, frozen in place, not daring to breathe too heavily, her eyelids trembling, and her whole body shaking.

Lin Qingwei was observing her actions, and after seeing her strong reaction, she couldn't help but want to sneer.

After sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea, she said, "Mother, don't stand. Didn't you have something to ask me? Let's sit down and talk about it slowly. After all, some things..."

Before he could finish speaking, he chuckled a few times with an ambiguous meaning, which made Ye even more terrified.

She was a little unsteady on her feet and had to use her hands to support herself on the table to sit down with difficulty. The smile on her face was extremely ugly.

"On behalf of Yao'er, I apologize to you first. What happened at the Duke's mansion was wrong of her; it was her fault. She's too young and doesn't understand many things..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, because Ye herself knew that these excuses were simply untenable.

She and Lin Qingwei had nothing to talk about, and she couldn't find a suitable way to start a conversation.

"Mother, just ask whatever you want to ask," Lin Qingwei said. "You've probably been holding it in all day, ever since you saw that person?"

Ye was jolted, goosebumps wouldn't go away, and her whole body felt like it was being pricked with needles.

How could she possibly bring this up? How could she possibly talk to her child about it?

Ask her directly if she knew that her mother had an affair with another man and gave birth to her, and then abandoned him because she looked down on him, and instead married the more promising Lin Zhengwen, and even kept it a secret from everyone by saying that she was Lin Zhengwen's child!

Lin Qingwei actually knew nothing; she only had this guess in her mind.

The reason why Madam Ye had no doubt when she saw her face and believed that she was Lin Qingwei was not because she looked so much like the original Miss Lin, but simply because she looked so much like Prince Yong.

Even when chatting with Shen Yushu, she said that she was more like Prince Yong's child than Shen Yushu.

Combined with Ye's strange behavior when she met Prince Yong, it's not hard to guess that there was something between the two back then. However, Lin Qingwei really couldn't understand why Ye could get close to Prince Yong, so why did she later marry Lin Zhengwen?

"If Mother doesn't ask, then I'm about to speak."

"You know everything!" Ye suddenly grabbed her hand, looking like she was about to cry.

Lin Qing smiled but remained silent, which made Ye Shi even more flustered. She said, "Did he tell you?"

Lin Qingwei remained silent. Ye Shi nearly slid off the stone bench and knelt on the ground, her face deathly pale. She was so startled that she seemed to be on the verge of madness.

It's over! It's over! It's over!!! How could this happen! He knows! He knows Lin Qingwei is his child! He knows that even though he was pregnant, he still married someone else!

He's not the same person he used to be! Begging and playing the victim won't work! What to do! What to do! What to do?!

"What do you want?" As if grasping at the last straw, Madam Ye held Lin Qingwei's hand tightly.

She knew he doted on his daughter; Lin Qingwei was his daughter too! Judging from how he protected Lin Qingwei today, even if he didn't want to help her, he would listen to Lin Qingwei!

"What do you want? Tell your mother! You are my precious darling! I will do everything in my power to get you what you want!"
