Seeing that there was no one around, Madam Ji leaned closer and whispered, "Princess, you saw it today. Madam Lu's Fourth Young Mistress … is determined to marry into Prince Rui's residence. However, you don't have to take her words to heart. If it were possible, Fourth Young Mistress would have become Princess Rui long ago. As for the royal hunt that Madam Ye mentioned today, you should inform Prince Rui about it later. There's more to it than meets the eye. Princess, don't be tricked by others. " Seeing that there were already other furens coming out of the Lu family's doors, Ji Furen said, "It is inconvenient for me to say the rest. If Wangfei is free, you can come over to the residence. You are not familiar with Long Ye so I can help you put in a word." She then bid farewell to Shen Miao and hurriedly left.
On the way back, Shen Miao kept thinking about the day's events. She didn't take Lu Wan'er's words to heart. For some reason, she felt that Madam Ye was extremely annoying.
Shen Miao asked Octagon Anise, "I didn't see Madam Ye's daughter at the banquet today. How many young mistresses are there in the Ye family? Why didn't she bring any of them out? "
Octagon Anise was stunned and shook his head. "There are no young mistresses in the Ye family."
"How can there be no young mistresses?" Shen Miao frowned.
"This is a fact that everyone in Long Ye knows." Octagon Anise said, "Prime Minister Ye and Madam Ye were a couple when they were young. They had a daughter when they got married, but she died young. Madam Ye was too worried and her relationship with Prime Minister Ye faded. Prime Minister Ye later took in a concubine who gave birth to a son. He is the current Young Master Ye of the Prime Minister's residence. "
Shen Miao frowned. "There are no other children in the Prime Minister's residence?"
Octagon Anise shook his head. "After Prime Minister Ye had Young Master Ye, he was assassinated on a trip and injured the root of his offspring. It was impossible for him to have children in the future."
Shen Miao was astonished. How could a high-ranking family like the Ye family only have one son? She asked, "Doesn't that mean that the Ye family only has one son?"
"That's not true. The concubine was weak when Young Master Ye was born … However, some people say that the Ye family strangled the concubine to death. Young Master Ye was raised under Madam Ye's name after he was born. However, "Octagon Anise paused," Octagon Anise continued, "even though Young Master Ye is the son of the first wife."
"Why is that?" Shen Miao asked curiously. Even though he wasn't her biological son, under the circumstances that the Ye Family didn't have any other children, Madam Ye could raise him under her name. If Madam Ye treated this legitimate son better, her life would be much better in the future.
"Young Master Ye was born with a congenital disease. His legs and feet are unable to walk. This kind of person will never be able to become an official in the future, so some people say that the Ye family will decline in this generation, "Octagonal Anise explained.
Shen Miao then understood in her heart. So he was a cripple. No wonder Madam Ye looked down on him. Thinking of this, his heart lit up. The Wen Ye Family, the Wu Lu Family, and the Lu Family all sent Jing Fei into the palace. Why didn't the Ye Family? It wasn't that the Ye Family didn't have ambition, but because the Ye Family didn't have any extra daughters. He was afraid that if he sent his relative's daughter over, it would be difficult to control her.
Then the current situation … Shen Miao could roughly guess Emperor Yong Le's plan.
In terms of heirs, the Yeh family cannot compete with the Lu family. If they form an alliance with the Lu family, even if one day their ambitions are fulfilled, only the Lu family will benefit. People always have bad habits. Why is it that both of us are aristocratic families, but in the end, you are the only one who is strong and I am declining? It's better for me to turn against them.
Emperor Yong Le probably wants to provoke an internal conflict between the Lu and Ye families. He wants to subdue the Ye family and then deal with the Lu family, which holds military power. This will be much easier.
