Madam Zhou, however, seemed not to have reacted yet. She was still defending the old lady: "The old lady wanted to kill Ye Qingxue and Ye Cunsi to rid the Marquis's mansion of a scourge and to restore the mansion's prestige!"

Hu Mama was slightly stunned. She seemed to have not expected that even though she had made her point so clearly, Madam Zhou would still not understand.

Ye Cunsi closed his eyes briefly, still gripping the armrests of his wheelchair, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "What did you just say, Granny Hu? You said that Madam Zhou is my and my elder sister's biological mother?"

"What?" Madam Zhou swayed and blurted out.

The sparks outside crackled and popped, as if they were burning right in front of her, making her ears ring and her eyes almost unable to see.

"Does Madam still remember that sixteen years ago, you and Madam Min were both diagnosed with pregnancy, and a year later, your two children were born on the same day?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded blankly; she remembered that.

But this was not unusual. At that time, Min Yingying and Ye Xiaowei had only been married for a few years and their relationship was still very sweet. She could get pregnant at any time.

However, Hu Mama said, "Actually, not long after Madam Min gave birth to the eldest son, her relationship with the second master became strained. The second master preferred new concubines."

"But Madam Min did not want the eldest son to give birth to a son. Whenever you shared a room with the Marquis, she would try every means to keep the second master in the room, waiting for the opportunity to get pregnant at the same time as you."

Mrs. Zhou asked blankly, "And then?"

Ye Qingxue frowned when she heard her ask that, and then she thought, "Min Yingying and I are pregnant at the same time."

Perhaps Mrs. Zhou knows this, but she is not willing to accept it yet.

Hu Mama said, "During your pregnancy, Madam Min bribed the physician and learned that the fetus in your womb was likely a boy. She originally wanted to poison you to cause an abortion, but the physician said that Madam Min might be carrying a girl, so Madam Min gave up the idea of ​​poisoning you."

"After ten months of pregnancy, the physician of the manor, who had been bribed by Madam Min, said that you two would give birth on the same day."

"Of course, since you two are pregnant at the same time, even if the imperial physician didn't say so, your delivery dates wouldn't be much different."

"Madam Min had the physician prepare labor-inducing drugs long ago, and also bribed the midwife and maidservants around you. If you go into labor first, she will drink the labor-inducing drugs."

"If she goes into labor first, secretly have someone feed you labor-inducing drugs. In short, she must give birth on the same day as you."

Madam Zhou remained in a state of shock and remained very quiet, not uttering a single word, simply staring intently at Granny Hu.

As if the surrounding fire had disappeared, she was lost in the events of fifteen years ago.

Hu Mama's voice cut through the crackling fire and into her ears: "I wonder if Madam still remembers that a few days before you went into labor fifteen years ago, Madam Min suggested that the doctor, midwife and maids should take care of two women in labor. Running back and forth between the two places would be too much for them, and there was a risk of something going wrong."

"Therefore, Madam Min suggested that she go to your courtyard to give birth, so that they could take care of each other. In fact, her purpose was nothing more than to switch the two children."

Madam Zhou swayed violently again, almost losing her balance.

Granny Hu took a deep breath and said directly, "So, Madam, the Second Young Master is your biological child, and the Second Miss is Madam Min's biological daughter!"

"No! This is impossible!" Madam Zhou's face drained of color, and she staggered back two steps.

Granny Hu suddenly said in a deep voice, "I saw the Second Miss come out of Madam Min's womb with my own eyes! I also saw the Second Young Master being switched into Madam Min's arms with my own eyes. This cannot be denied!"

Madam Zhou suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at this person and that person, before finally fixing her gaze on Ye Qingxue's face.

"You've turned Hu Mama to your side, haven't you? So now she's on your side, trying to sow discord between me and your grandmother, or rather, between me and the entire Marquis's mansion? Is that right?"

"You're the one who made Granny Hu say that Ye Cunsi is my biological son, and Ye Yabing is Min Yingying's biological son? Is that right!"

Ye Qingxue: "..."

Ye Qingxue could no longer bear it. She strode forward, grabbed Madam Zhou by the back of the neck, pushed her in front of Ye Cunsi, and forced her head down, bringing her face infinitely close to Ye Cunsi's.

"Look at Ye Cunsi's face, and then think about Ye Yabing's face. Who looks more like your father and you? Who looks more like the child from the second wife's side?!"

Ye Cunsi obediently tilted his head back, meeting Madam Zhou's gaze.

His facial features and contours were magnified infinitely in front of Madam Zhou, who froze. The face in front of her slowly overlapped with Ye Xiaobai's appearance when he was young.

She had never noticed this before.

Within that familiar outline, she could even discern details of her own face.

Thinking back to Ye Yabing's face...

Madam Zhou realized with horror that Ye Cunsi resembled her and Ye Xiaobai more than Ye Yabing.

So, what Granny Hu said is true?

Could this really not be a trap set by Ye Qingxue?

The fire grew even larger, and broken pieces of wood fell down, landing on the ground with a loud bang. Madam Zhou suddenly came to her senses, but she still couldn't suppress the trembling and fear in her heart.

If, if Ye Cunsi is her child, then what is she doing tonight?

What has she been doing all this time?

This can't be real, it must be a dream, right?

A nightmare, right?

A nightmare from which you can't wake up?

She needs to wake up! She needs to wake up! She needs to wake up!

Madam Zhou struggled violently, as if Ye Qingxue's hand gripping her neck was her nightmare!
