In the Ye Family of Yian County, something happened.
Lady Tao, the wife of the county Official, became ill recently.
The illness of Tao Wanzhen was not ordinary; she had a miscarriage.
It's quite ironic that Ye Mingyuan had already arranged with Fourth Master to prevent this from happening; in theory, Lady Tao shouldn't have been able to conceive.
But she did and it was no cuckoldry, the child was truly of the Ye blood.
Some medicines have no effect on certain people, or perhaps an occasional mistake is inevitable. There are no absolutes in life.
The problem was, Lady Tao was also unlucky. Every time she remembered the rejected petitions her husband sent, she became angry.
She would look at Ye Jin and Ye Heng, the siblings, and find everything about them disagreeable.
Even the sight of Ye Mingyuan became loathsome to her.
This led to her feeling agitated, and without having suffered any bump or injury, she miscarried in the fourth month.
