A wealthy young man sitting at the dining table finished his bowl of meat porridge and began to share the gossip he knew with the people sitting next to him.

"Then tell me what's going on."

Everyone was very curious about how the eldest son of the Tian family, who came from a wealthy family, could be the child of a farmer.

Faced with a barrage of questions, the young man told the news he knew in a casual and flattering tone.

"I heard that Madam Tian fell in love with Minister Tian at first sight and refused to marry anyone else. After much effort and scheming, she finally got what she wanted. But after two years of marriage, she still had no pregnancy. Madam Tian was extremely anxious, and her mother-in-law forced her son to divorce her. At this critical juncture, Madam Tian finally got pregnant."

After hearing this, everyone said, "This is great news. The baby is coming at the right time."

"What's good about that? Under these circumstances, the child was finally born, and it turned out to be a baby girl."

"After hearing the news while lying in bed, Madam Tian made an immediate decision and asked the maidservant beside her to help her exchange a baby boy overnight. Her own daughter was thus exchanged to a farmer's home without any explanation."

"Does that family know that their child was swapped by Madam Tian?"

Everyone stopped eating and pricked up their ears, anxious to know the answer.

"How would I know that? Hey, it's getting late and I have something urgent to do. I'm leaving now."

The young master left quickly, completely ignoring the impact his words would have on the Tian family.

And in the Dali Temple court.

Zhou Qiheng, a well-known upright official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sent someone to invite Gao Huaizhen, the Minister of Rites, and Tian Ce, the Vice Minister of Revenue, who had been severely reprimanded by the emperor and were confined at home to reflect on their mistakes.
