My aunt and Dou Cong had been having an affair for a long time and were never discovered.

Today she had asked someone to inquire about it, saying that she was going to deal with the case of the Minister of Justice. By then, the master would definitely be busy with the Minister of Justice and would not have time to come back, so she would dare to let Dou Cong in. But she didn't expect that the master would suddenly come back.

Aunt Liu reacted quickly and covered her body with the bed curtain. While the master was chasing Dou Cong, she took the clothes thrown on the ground and put them on.

Dou Cong was beaten so badly that he huddled in a corner, wrapped in the quilt and holding his head with his arms. The falling feather duster instantly left several red marks on his arms. "Dad, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"You little bastard, she is your aunt. Even if you are hungry or in need of a woman, you cannot sleep with your aunt, not to mention that your aunt is pregnant." After Dou Wen finished cursing, he realized something and swept his sharp eyes back and forth between the two of them.

"Little bastard, let me ask you, whose child is in your aunt's belly?"

[Lord Dou's reaction speed is faster than others.]

Fearing that Dou Wen’s fight would affect Gu Jianchu, Xie Ci’an took Gu Jianchu and retreated.

Dou Cong quickly shook his head, "Dad, no matter whose child this is, it's still ours."

"Listen to what you are saying, what a beast." Dou Wen was so angry that his heart ached, and he raised the feather duster and hit him again.

Tired of smoking, his eyes fell on Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu was a smart woman. She slid down from the bed in an instant and knelt in front of Dou Wen. "Master, please listen to my explanation. Dou Cong coerced me with bribes and threats. I didn't want to do this, but I am of low status and dared not disobey."

Dou Wen slapped Aunt Liu directly in the face.

A red and swollen slap mark instantly appeared on Aunt Liu's face, and her body fell to the side.

"You are not a good person either. It takes two to tango. He threatened and bribed you. Why didn't you tell me? I can make the decision for you. You two are still getting together without regard for human ethics. And is the child in your belly mine or that little beast's?" Dou Wen approached Aunt Liu with an unprecedented fierceness in his eyes.

Aunt Liu shrank back in fear, her eyes dodging, "Master, the child in my belly is yours."

"Really? How can you be sure that the baby in your belly is mine?" Dou Wen didn't believe what Aunt Liu said at all.

Aunt Liu rushed forward and hugged Dou Wen's thigh in panic, "Master, please believe me, I was not with Dou Wen at that time, and the child in my belly can only be yours."

Concubine Liu lied without blushing or beating her heart. She had been with Dou Cong the day after she married Dou Wen.

Gu Jianchu was not afraid to take advantage of the excitement and said, "Lord Dou, if you examine the maidservants of Concubine Liu or the servants of Master Dou, everything will become clear."

Upon hearing this, Dou Cong and Aunt Liu both looked towards Gu Jianchu with resentment in their eyes. Before the resentment could spread, they were frightened back by Xie Ci'an's aura of a superior.

The two men lowered their heads, neither daring to speak. It was Concubine Liu who bravely stepped forward and said, "Master, I swear, everything I said is true. There is really no need to implicate and interrogate those innocent people."

Dou Wen had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

The more they try to cover it up, the more problems they have.

If swearing was effective, there wouldn't be any bad people.

Dou Wen kicked away Aunt Liu who was pulling his legs and said to the housekeeper, "Call Qinglian and the servant."

Every time Dou Cong and Concubine Liu were together, Qinglian and Shutong would consciously stay away. They had no idea that anything was happening here, and they were still confused when they were brought here. But when they saw the angry master and Concubine Liu and Dou Cong kneeling on the ground, what was there that they didn't understand?

Dou Wen came in front of Qinglian, stared down at the little girl and asked, "When did Concubine Liu get together with Dou Cong?"

Qinglian raised her head and glanced at Aunt Liu who was kneeling beside her and shaking her head at her, "I don't know."

"You wouldn't know this since you serve Madam Liu all day long. It seems you are determined to stick to your guns. Housekeeper, go get the family rules." Dou Wen tried hard to suppress his anger.

Dou Wen turned his gaze to the chubby servant boy, "Then do you know?"

The servant shook his head in panic.

"Very good, no one knew. The whole prefecture was blind. No one knew that the little beast and the little girl were having an affair." Dou Wen's voice was trembling.

The housekeeper quickly brought the whip, and Qinglian and the servant were dragged to the yard by the servants.

Just as the servants were preparing to execute him, Dou Wen suddenly raised his hand to stop the executioner. Just as the person in question was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Dou Wen pointed at Dou Cong and said, "Take this little bastard out and punish him together with the family rules. Whoever confesses will be spared. If you know more, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."

Dou Cong was beaten since he was a child and was spoiled by Dou Wenhe and his wife when he grew up. The two of them never touched Dou Cong, which led to his spoiled character.

Hearing that Dou Wen was going to use family discipline on him, Dou Cong had an expression of disbelief on his face, and kept twisting and struggling, "Dad, you can't hit me. You promised my mom that you would take good care of me."

"I promised your mother to take good care of you, but I didn't expect you to be so crooked. It's fine if you're just doing nothing, but now you're even capable of doing something this ridiculous. How can you be worthy of your deceased mother and your ancestors? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't learn your lesson. Beat me."

[He should have been spanked long ago. Some children will go crazy if they're not spanked, and Dou Cong is clearly one of them.]

Three whips were lashed at the same time, and the whole courtyard was filled with wailing. Aunt Liu was so scared that she huddled in the corner and dared not speak.

Dou Cong had been spoiled since he was a child and had never been treated like this. Even when he was educated, it was just a minor beating. After a few whips, Dou Cong's back was instantly torn apart, and the pain made cold sweat break out on his forehead.

He knelt and crawled in front of Dou Wen, hugged Dou Wen's legs and said, "Dad, I really know I was wrong this time. I have changed. I will never dare to do such a ridiculous thing again. I confess, I confess everything."

"We have been together the day after you brought Concubine Liu back. As long as you are not at home, Concubine Liu and I will be together secretly. As for the child in Concubine Liu's belly, I don't know whose it is." Concubine Liu never took the initiative to say that the child in her belly was his. Although she sometimes suspected him, he was not very sure.

[Even Aunt Liu herself probably didn't know whose child she was carrying, since both father and son were asleep.]

If it weren't for the system, the baby in Aunt Liu's belly would have become a mystery.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't take the initiative to say it out loud.

Dou Wen did not completely believe what his son said, and immediately turned his gaze to the servant who was being beaten.

The servant boy was sweating profusely and nodded continuously, "Master, everything the young master said is true. Apart from that, I don't know anything else."
