Ye Zhen's scalp tingled.
She stared at Xie Tingzhou in disbelief, her bright eyes unusually blank.
Is the man inside the room the prime minister's youngest son?
Is Ye Zhengqing spending time with his wife and then with his husband?
How could things be so chaotic?
Before Xie Tingzhou could even explain things to Ye Zhen...
The answer has already been given inside the door.
With a snap.
It should have been the sound of a slap hitting flesh, but Ye Zhen's intuition told her it wasn't a face.
Then came the man's voice, "I've kept you waiting, so I should vent my anger. This bamboo bed in the courtyard is my new treasure, so I'll punish you by making you lie on it..."
"I'll do whatever you want, but could you please have pity on me and help me get promoted?"
Ye Zhengqing's voice was pitiful and pleading, "If I could get a higher position, I could buy a house closer to you in the future, so you wouldn't have to wait for me in the middle of the night..."
Ye Zhen was once again carried away from the scene by Xie Tingzhou.
He was unable to recover from the shock for a long time, and then he vomited.
This was even more shocking and disgusting than what Xie Yunzhou and Chi Heng had given her.
Ye Zhengqing.
The man she used to consider her father, even though he now knows his true identity, is still her uncle by blood.
At an age when she should be a grandfather, she was instead under another man, pleading for favors in a soft, coquettish voice...
Ye Zhen finally understood Xie Tingzhou's complicated expression just now; he must have known all along. "When did this happen?"
"After they were driven out of the general's mansion, Ye Zhengqing was ostracized in the government office and looked for ways to get ahead."
Xie Tingzhou said, "The Prime Minister's youngest son, Li Chenghai, is fond of men. Although Ye Zhengqing is not young, his face is still acceptable."
They are also willing to put aside their pride and dignity.
Not to mention Ye Zhen felt nauseous just hearing it, his stomach was churning violently too.
She even suppressed her own romantic thoughts.
"I had only noticed that Li Chenghai had feelings for Ye Zhengqing before, but I had been busy with other things these days and hadn't paid attention."
To outsiders, Ye Zhengqing was Ye Zhen's biological father, and since it concerned Ye Zhen's reputation, he didn't let his subordinates get involved and did everything himself.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhengqing went all out after only a few days.
Xie Tingzhou was desperate to survive, fearing that Ye Zhen would blame him for concealing the truth.
Ye Zhen had no time to blame Xie Tingzhou; his mind was filled with the mess Ye Zhengqing had created.
She was unaware of the affairs of the Prime Minister's country.
Firstly, they had no connection, and secondly, although Prime Minister Li was powerful, he was quite low-key in his external affairs.
However, judging from the conversation between the man and Ye Zhengqing, Li Chenghai knew about Ye Zhengqing's affair with his wife.
Could it be?
"The real reason why Su was unable to have children was Li Chenghai? So he acted as a go-between, introducing his lover to his wife?"
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "Li Chenghai has one wife and three concubines, none of whom are pregnant. The official explanation is that the concubines cannot have children before the wife becomes pregnant."
Seeing that Ye Zhen was unaware of the Li family's affairs, Xie Tingzhou explained further.
Li Xiangguo had two wives in his lifetime. His first wife was a child bride arranged for him by his family, who was a few years older than him.
When the Li family fell into decline, this child bride supported her husband's education while also serving her parents-in-law.
Another was the woman Li Xiangguo fell in love with after his meteoric rise to power. She came from a prestigious family and was unwilling to become a concubine.
Li Xiangguo was unwilling to be branded as ungrateful and abandoning his first wife. In addition, he was also grateful to his first wife. After dealing with the two women, he took the woman from a noble family as his second wife.
The two wives currently live in the Prime Minister's residence. On the surface, they appear to be getting along well, but inside they are fighting like antagonists. However, they are surprisingly in sync in protecting the Li family's reputation, so for many years, outsiders have been unaware of the inside story.
Li Chenghai was born to the prime minister's concubine and was greatly favored by the prime minister. However, the son of the prime minister's first wife was quite accomplished and had three sons. In terms of offspring alone, he surpassed the concubine.
Ping's wife was unwilling to accept this, but she couldn't bear to make things difficult for her son, so she could only shift the pressure onto her daughter-in-law, Su.
Xie Tingzhou said calmly, "The Su family has been searching for medicinal herbs everywhere for years, but to no avail."
Therefore, the one who is truly unable to have children is Li Chenghai.
Unable to have children, he found a man for his wife, a man with whom he had a relationship.
Ye Zhenren was completely numb.
What a mess this is.
No wonder she was spotted by the guards as soon as she entered the Prime Minister's residence. It shows that the security inside is very tight. Yet Ye Zhengqing, who has no fighting skills, was able to enter and leave the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.
I see.
However, judging from Su's words, she was unaware that her husband was manipulating everything.
She must have been unable to bear the pressure from her mother-in-law, which is why she wanted to find someone. Ye Zhengqing, with Li Chenghai's encouragement, happened to catch her eye.
Ye Zhengqing, that shameless man, is bisexual and seeks benefits from both sides.
I wonder if Li Chenghai will agree to Ye Zhengqing's request.
Ye Zhen couldn't help but think of his past life.
In her previous life, although Ye Wantang was unable to marry the Crown Prince, she lived a prosperous life in the capital thanks to her mother's achievements and the smallpox prevention efforts, and she also had a good relationship with the two princes.
I heard that Ye Zhengqing has also been promoted several ranks and is highly regarded by Prince Ning. Ye Zhen always thought that Ye Zhengqing had risen to prominence along with Ye Wantang...
Could it have been obtained through such despicable means?
Ye Zhen rubbed his arms, feeling a chill.
"Is it possible that he is not my maternal grandfather's son?"
Although she had never met her maternal grandfather, she had heard a lot about him when she was in the south.
He was an upright, benevolent, and incorruptible old censor.
Ye Zhengqing doesn't resemble a maternal grandfather at all. Ye Zhen only said this casually because he felt that Ye Zhengqing had disgraced the Ye family ancestors.
