If Lady Ye knew she was pregnant, she probably wouldn't have stepped forward. However, it wasn't until she reached the riverbank and had the reaction of puking that she realized she was pregnant.

It was already impossible to go back on her word. Of course, she couldn't go back on her word either. If she didn't go, who else would she go home to? There was no one else in the house who was suitable except for her, and she had just given birth to a child, so whether she was pregnant or not, she was the only one to go to the riverbank.

Fortunately, the kitchen she worked in was filled with poor citizens hired by the imperial government. They were all kind-hearted people, and whenever they saw that she was pitiful and had such a big belly, they would always tell her to do a little more and make her do less.

As she neared the date of her birth, Gu Nan Ting came to the riverbank to inspect. He saw Lady Ye with a big belly, so he immediately frowned. He first scolded the officials in charge of her entourage, asking them why they had also recruited a pregnant woman. After that, she had her subordinates call her over to interrogate her.

Lady Ye first talked about this matter that had nothing to do with officials. It was because she had chosen her father, who had always been weak, that she came forward in his place. She said that she didn't know she was pregnant and that she definitely didn't want to hide it from Shangguan Bing. Please forgive her.

After Gu Nan Ting heard Lady Ye's words, he thought of Lady Ye's filial piety. He thought about how his beloved wife was about to be born, so he didn't blame Lady Ye. Instead, he ordered someone to take Lady Ye home to accompany his wife.

Although Lady Ye was a country bumpkin, her character was still straightforward. She also knew some interesting stories about the countryside, which made Lady Wu quite happy.

That day, Lady Wu was listening to Lady Ye's funny story. She was laughing happily when she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen. It was originally going to be a baby, but at this moment, Lady Ye also had a bellyache, and was about to have a baby.

At this time, Lady Wu was still young and kind. Even if she was a lowly peasant woman, she had still ordered her servants to find a midwife for her.

But how could he find a midwife in such a hurry? Therefore, Lady Ye could only lie in the delivery room and wait for Lady Wu's midwife to finish giving birth before coming back to help her.

Perhaps it was at this time that the midwife became confused and hurriedly picked up the wrong children. It was only twelve years later that they were discovered that the two children were carrying the wrong children.

Since she was wrong, she should be replaced. However, Gu Ruxiu was Lady Wu's daughter who had doted on her for twelve years. How could she bear to see her suffer like this? Thus, he took his own daughter back and kept her by his side.

After arriving at the Gu household, Lady Ye's original daughter, Fang Yiyue, had changed her name to Lili. Under the provocation of some people, she believed that it was Gu Ruxiu who had taken over her life for twelve years.

Every time the two of them clashed, even if some of the evidence was definitely wrong by Gu Yiyue, under Gu Yiyue's tears, Lady Wu would reprimand Gu Ruxiu over and over again. In her eyes, she felt guilty for her own daughter having suffered so much in the countryside, so she should make it up to her. Although Gu Ruxiu loved her as well, she did receive more of her love some years ago.

In the end, of course, Lady Wu chose the last one between her biological daughter and adopted daughter. By this time, Gu Ruxiu's heart had long been completely broken by Lady Wu's bias!
