Aunt Yu became pregnant and told Yun Chen about it, keeping it a secret all along. Yun Chen allowed Aunt Yu to have the child, but somehow she got into trouble with Mrs. He. Mrs. He punished Aunt Yu, forcing her to kneel in the ice and snow for two hours, which resulted in Aunt Yu having a miscarriage.
And it happened on the very day of New Year's Eve.
Aunt Yu writhed in agony in the back yard for a full day, and cursed Mrs. He the whole time.
In the end, she couldn't hold on. Both she and the child died.
How could Mrs. He not know that Aunt Yu was pregnant? She just didn't want Aunt Yu to give birth to the child, that's all.
Of course, Yun Chen knew about it as well.
After Aunt Yu's death, Yun Chen felt upset inside and slapped Mrs. He hard across the face, cursing, "Vicious woman!"
He immediately chose two maids from Mrs. He's quarters, forced them to become aunts as punishment, namely Aunt Xiao and Aunt Gui, giving Mrs. He a heavy blow to her pride.
