The leader looked her over for a moment and asked, "Who is the unfaithful man you are suing?"

The woman answered without hesitation: "It's the head of the Fang family!"

In just a moment, Cheng Huaifeng rushed over and slapped her to the ground: "What on earth do you want to do? I said I would marry you, why did you have to make such a fuss?"

The woman was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and even lost several teeth.

Cheng Huaifeng explained to the head yamen runner with a smile, "This woman is pregnant with my child and is forcing me to take responsibility. I didn't let her get what she wanted, so she came to the yamen to complain!"

The leader scolded: "Nonsense! How can you just beat the drum randomly?"

Cheng Huaifeng quickly apologized: "I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. I will take her away now to avoid disturbing your peace!"

After saying this, he was about to drag the struggling woman away.

Looking at the backs of the two men, the leading yamen runner suddenly became confused.

He looked at the attendant next to him: "Do you feel something is wrong? It doesn't look like the two of them have had any physical contact?"

The attendant hesitated and reminded: "Boss, why don't you stop them and interrogate them again? We must not let any false charges be brought against us under the emperor's feet!"

The leader said decisively: "You are right!"

Without hesitation, he rushed to Cheng Huaifeng and said, "Stop!"

Cheng Huaifeng reached out and held the woman tightly, and asked nervously, "Master? Any other instructions?"

The chief of the yamen runners said sullenly, "After all, she was the one who sounded the alarm. I must interrogate her thoroughly before I can return and report back to my superiors!"

Cheng Huaifeng suddenly became very anxious. He hoped she would stop talking nonsense, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.

He spoke subconsciously: "No, there's no need to ask, didn't I make it very clear? She just wants to force me to take responsibility!"

The chief of the yamen runners interrupted sharply: "Shut up and let her speak!"

Cheng Huaifeng had no choice but to reach out and push the woman: "Ayan, answer Jun Ye's question properly!"

The woman blinked blankly and looked at Cheng Huaifeng with a dull expression: "What answer?"

Cheng Huaifeng's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled down. It seemed that the medicine powder had taken effect.

Look, everyone is stupid!

He spoke gently: "Just answer whatever the military commander asks you!"

She nodded obediently: "Then please ask, Master Jun!"

The chief of the yamen runners was stunned. How come this woman looked so different from before?

After a moment's silence, he asked in a deep voice, "What's your name? What's your relationship with the man in front of you?"

She frowned and replied, "I am Du Bingyan. He is a heartless man. He got me pregnant but refused to marry me. That's why I want to sue him!"

Cheng Huaifeng said quickly: "Marry, of course I will marry you, let's go, while my sister is here, let's go to the wedding hall and get married now!"

Du Bingyan raised her eyes to look at him, and immediately revealed a shy smile.

She whispered, "As long as he is willing to marry me, I won't sue him!"

Seeing that the two had reconciled, the leading yamen runner couldn't help but scold them: "Don't go to the police station over trivial matters in the future. Let's forget about it this time. If you do it again, you'll get fifty lashes of the cane. Remember that?"

Cheng Huaifeng nodded quickly: "Yes, I remember it, thank you, General!"

Without further hesitation, he dragged Du Bingyan onto Lin Yiwan's carriage.

At this time, Lin Yiwan was still very shocked. She didn't expect that the woman who came back from the northern border was surnamed Du?

She remembered that Mrs. Du had a son and a daughter. Ever since the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion was brought to justice, her daughter had never appeared in the capital again.

Can't it be such a coincidence?

She asked calmly, "Du Bingyan, what's your mother's name?"

When Du Bingyan saw her, her eyes didn't waver at all. She just whispered, "My name is Huo Qing!"

Lin Yiwan suddenly clenched the tea bowl in her hand. It was indeed the girl from the Du family!

Without further hesitation, she quickly ordered Zi'er, "Hurry back to the General's Mansion!"

Old Madam Fang was waiting anxiously in the mansion at this time. When she suddenly saw a carriage rushing into the inner house, her expression immediately relaxed.

She knew that her husband's reputation was temporarily saved.

She quickly ordered someone to send Du Bingyan to a remote courtyard, and selected a few maids with strong martial arts skills to guard outside.

Lin Yiwan didn't rush to pay attention to her, but quickly asked Zi'er to go to the palace to inquire about the news to see if the emperor had issued an order for the Fang family army to go to Xiliang Mountain.

About half an hour later, Zi'er came back panting.

She spoke quickly, "The Emperor, against all odds, has ordered General Fang to personally lead his troops from the northern border to Mount Xiliang to support the Marquis!"

Lin Yiwan let out a long sigh: "Thank God, nothing went wrong in the end!"

Madam Fang was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She murmured in a trembling voice, "Wanwan, if we had responded a little later, who knows how many innocent lives would have been lost!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. It was indeed very dangerous!

As long as Du Bingyan succeeds in suing General Fang, he will have to hand over his military power.

There can't be any delay in military flights!

Otherwise, the Yan army trapped in Xiliang Mountain would suffer countless casualties!

She gritted her teeth and said, "We can deal with Du Bingyan now. While she's still conscious, we have to ask her whose child is in her belly!"

She brought Old Madam Fang to Du Bingyan's room and saw her sitting in a chair with a dazed expression.

Lin Yiwan stretched out her hand to feel her pulse, and she did not refuse.

A moment later, Madam Fang anxiously asked, "How is Wanwan? Is she really pregnant?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, it's still early in the month, so it's not very obvious, but it can be diagnosed!"

Madam Fang gritted her teeth and said, "It can't be the old man's. Putting aside how chaste he is, he would never touch Du Bingyan at her age!"

Lin Yiwan soothed softly, "Ask her first!"

Madam Fang urged: "Then ask quickly!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and poured a cup of hot tea into Du Bingyan's hand and asked, "Who is the father of the child in your belly?"

Du Bingyan frowned, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.

She seemed to be very disgusted with this question, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yiwan.

Lin Yiwan remained calm and said, "Since you're carrying a child to acknowledge your father, you should have a token of trust, don't you?"

Du Bingyan quickly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and said, "He left this for me. Do you recognize it?"

Old Madam Fang looked closely and almost fell to the ground and fainted.

She said in a trembling voice, "Wanwan, this handkerchief is indeed the old man's, and I embroidered it for him myself. The peach apple blossoms on it symbolize peace and health. These are the red fruit flowers we encountered together in the dense forests of the northern border. Few people know about them!"

After saying this, she burst into tears.

Du Bingyan slowly said, "Do you know why this flower is still so gorgeous?
