Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

Madam Ye had just suffered a headache during the day and was in low spirits. She was helped in by her maid and looked very unhappy.

Upon seeing Prime Minister Ye, he launched into a tirade of complaints.

"Sir, what is it that requires the whole family to be gathered here?"

"Wang Shi".

The Prime Minister's wife, who had just entered the main hall, was called "Wang Shi" and was caught off guard, not yet realizing that "Wang Shi" was referring to her.

She had been married into the Ye family for over twenty years, and Prime Minister Ye had always called her "Madam" and never "Wang Shi".

The others also noticed that Prime Minister Ye's attitude was not right. Only Ye Simiao, who was sitting at the lower end, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"I'm asking you, is Miaomiao your biological daughter?"

Wang felt a pang of panic and glanced at Ye Simiao beside her. Seeing that Ye Simiao looked calm and unsurprised, Wang felt even more uncertain.

"Sir, what are you saying? Miaomiao is of course my biological daughter."

Prime Minister Ye slammed his hand on the table next to him.

"Bang!

You still dare to lie to me even now!

"Sir, how could I lie to you? Miao Miao really is our biological daughter."

She was the only one in the side hall at the time, and no one else knew about this, so Wang Shi naturally wouldn't admit it.

Everyone in the hall was stunned by Prime Minister Ye's question.

What?

Miao Miao is not the biological child of her older brother and sister-in-law (her parents), so who gave birth to her?

The eldest son, Ye Sheng, looked on in disbelief.

"Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Miaomiao not be my biological sister?"

"It's true. Your mother switched her daughter with the daughter born to Consort De back then."

The Ye family was even more shocked; this was even more shocking than knowing that Ye Simiao was not a member of the Ye family.

They stared at Wang in disbelief, wondering how she dared to do such a thing.

Switching the royal princess is a capital offense!

Wang, who was standing in the lobby, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

It's over, it's over.

But what she couldn't understand was how the master knew.

Upon seeing Wang's appearance, everyone understood that it was true.

"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? You're going to ruin the Ye family!"

The third wife, Liu, had a bad temper and was the least tolerant. She exploded on the spot when she heard about this.

How will this end? Will the Ye family even survive?

The others also complained about Wang.

"Mother, you're confused!"

Hearing the constant complaints around her, Wang decided to give up entirely.

"How can you blame me? You all know how much the old lady favored sons over daughters back then. If my daughter had stayed with me, would her life have been any better?"

Everyone also remembered what kind of life Ye Simiao had when she was a child. As the first daughter among the younger generation, she naturally bore all of the old lady's anger at that time.

For a moment, the people from the second and third wives were speechless. They also had daughters, so they naturally understood how Wang felt.

But you can't just switch your own child with a royal princess and make the princess suffer. If the emperor knew about this, would he tolerate it?

Suddenly, Wang thought of something and looked up at Prime Minister Ye with hopeful eyes.

"Master, as long as we keep it a secret and no one knows Miaomiao's identity, our Ye family will be fine and won't be held accountable by the Emperor."

Prime Minister Ye closed his eyes. He simply couldn't believe that he had married such a stupid and dull woman as his wife back then.

Everyone else remained silent, watching Ye Simiao. Seeing that she still had a calm expression, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Ye family is now in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"It's too late. If you don't want others to know about Miaomiao's background, why did you still acknowledge Princess Qixia as your daughter?"

Everyone looked at Wang Shi with disbelief, wondering what she was thinking.

She's trying to keep this a secret, yet she dares to acknowledge Princess Qixia as her confidante. Does she think there aren't enough people who know already?

"Sir, how did you know?"

Prime Minister Ye slammed his hand heavily on the table again.

"Foolish woman! Because of your stupidity and ignorance, the first mistake you made was switching the baby back then, and the second mistake was recognizing Princess Qixia."

How could I have married such a stupid woman like you!

These words, spoken by Prime Minister Ye, were like a thunderbolt to the Wang family.

Clutching her chest, she stared in disbelief at the man she had been married to for over twenty years.

Seeing his father so angry, Ye Sheng stepped forward to plead for his mother.

"Father, even though Mother made mistakes, her original intentions were good. I beg you to forgive Mother this time, considering our many years of marriage and for the sake of us."

Prime Minister Ye glanced around at the Ye family members in the main hall. Although they all looked flustered, they didn't think the matter had gotten out of control.

He then looked at his eldest daughter and sighed heavily.

"Princess Qixia was spoiled by Consort De since childhood and became unruly and arrogant. Do you think she is a good person?"

"What does Father mean by that?"

Ye Sheng seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

Prime Minister Ye threw the secret letter he had found in his study earlier that day in front of his eldest son.

"Look for yourselves, this was found in my study and was placed there by Zhao Kuo himself."

I've already had someone investigate. Zhao Kuo has been spending a lot of time with Princess Qixia lately. I don't need to explain why he would do this.

Ye Sheng unfolded the letter and could hardly believe his eyes when he saw its contents.

"Father, what does Princess Qixia mean?"

Upon seeing Ye Sheng's appearance, Second Master Ye and Third Master Ye couldn't wait any longer. They got up from their chairs and came to him. After taking the letter and reading its contents, the two were so shocked that they fell to the ground.

The letter then fell in front of Wang.

Wang picked up the letter and read it while tears streamed down her face.

"Impossible! I am her mother! How could she treat me like this, treat the Ye family like this!"

"You treat her like a daughter, but she only sees you as a stumbling block on her path to becoming a princess."

As long as we deal with the Ye family, no one will know that she is a fake princess.

She can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury, and you ask her why.

"Wang, because of your foolishness, the entire Ye family will be wiped out. I truly regret marrying you."

At this moment, Wang was truly afraid. She crawled on her knees to Prime Minister Ye's feet and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Master, I didn't know, I didn't know! If I had known she would treat the Ye family like this, I shouldn't have replaced her back then, and I shouldn't have acknowledged her as my wife."

"This was found in my study. As for whether Zhao Kuo placed similar letters in other parts of the Ye family, I don't know."

So tomorrow you have to come with me to the palace to clarify the matter of the real and fake princesses. Only by bringing Qixia back can the Ye family be saved.

Wang, don't forget that you don't just have one daughter, you also have two sons and a grandson.

At this moment, Wang's face was covered in snot and tears from crying.

"I'll go, I'll go."

Prime Minister Ye leaned back in his chair as if he were completely exhausted.

"You can all go back now. Tomorrow I will take Wang Shi and Miao Miao to the palace to apologize to the Emperor. The fate of our Ye family will depend on tomorrow."

No one moved. Ye Simiao was the first to stand up, bowed to her father at the head of the table, and then turned and left.

I passed by Wang's house, which looked like a puddle of mud on the ground.

"Miaomiao".
