Ye Mei made Ye Ke her scapegoat.
"That's her biological brother." Cong Yang sighed. "How can a woman be so ruthless…"
"I'm afraid she has long treated Ye Ke as a useless pawn in her heart." Shen Miao said indifferently, "So she decided to squeeze the last bit of value out of Ye Ke." This was Consort Mei. In her previous life, Ye Ke could give her more power in the harem, so she had a deep relationship with him. Now, Ye Ke could not bring her any benefits and would even drag her down, so Ye Mei did not hesitate to kill him.
