When the family is framed and sent into exile, she still treats her younger daughter-in-law harshly, saving the best for the eldest son's household.
After breaking her leg to protect her grandson, she is deemed a burden by her eldest daughter-in-law, who abandons her and watches coldly from the sidelines.

On her deathbed, Ye Yinghua is consumed by regret, her heart aching with remorse.
Reborn on the day the whole family is sent into exile, she puts aside her harshness and favoritism, exposes her eldest daughter-in-law's false virtuousness, and does everything she can to protect her gentle, sensible younger daughter-in-law.
