"What did you say?" Qin Shuangshuang's eyes widened. "I'm clearly carrying your child, and you're actually doubting that the child is someone else's?"

When Lin Ruolan, who had been numb, heard that the child might not be Lin Zhiyue, her heart tightened, and she quickly grabbed Lin Zhiyue's hand and asked, "How far along is she in her pregnancy?"

“One month,” Lin Zhiyue said, his face ashen.

"Isn't that the kind of time when you catch someone in the act?"

Lin Ruolan remembered this matter very clearly, and it happened to be around that time!

Moreover, she remembered that Ri Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang had a conflict during that time, and their relationship was not good. They probably didn't even sleep together much.

In this case, the child is very likely to be an illegitimate child.

Lin Zhiyue nodded. As a man, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation!

His wife had cheated on him, not to mention that she was now very likely pregnant with another man's child. He had actually been counting down the days in his mind.

At first, she could convince herself, but as she carefully recalled the situation a month ago, she felt more and more that something was wrong. This child should be Yao Jinsheng's, and he didn't even know if Qin Shuangshuang had other men outside.

In short, this child is probably not his.

Once Lin Ruolan understood this, how could she possibly hold back?

"You little slut, you're pregnant with someone else's child and you still have the nerve to swagger around in front of us? You two are shameless!"

She rushed over, intending to kill Qin Shuangshuang. Upon seeing this, Qin Shuangshuang quickly retreated, nearly falling over.

What she feared most was that Lin Ruolan would suddenly turn against her; otherwise, she feared her fate would be even worse than her mother's.

Lin Ruolan's attempt failed, and her hatred intensified. "Damn these two beasts!"

I only changed my mind because of the child, but it turns out this isn't even our child! You even caused me to be beheaded! I'm truly wronged!

As Lin Zhiyue listened to his mother's tearful complaints, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. This pain quickly turned into a deep hatred, and he came to hate Qin Shuangshuang's family completely!

He hadn't felt this much hatred when he lost his official position and title before, but now that his only relative was about to be beheaded because of them, how could he bear it!

Gu Yunwei's face was slashed open, the flesh torn open, the bloody wound looking extremely frightening. At this moment, when she met Lin Zhiyue's gaze, her eyes were filled with hatred.

She hadn't expected that the child wasn't Lin Zhiyue's, but so what?

"Shuangshuang has been married to you for so long and hasn't gotten pregnant. And when she does get pregnant, it's someone else's child. You should be thinking about whether you're infertile or not," Gu Yunwei mocked.

Lin Ruolan glared at her fiercely, "The little slut you raised has such a loose belt, who knows how many men she has outside?"

"It's a blessing that she didn't conceive a child of our Lin family. Who knows if the child born to such a filthy woman will be diseased!"

"What did you say!"

Qin Shuangshuang's voice was sharp. She had never heard such a vicious curse before. It was simply not something a human would say!

"Am I wrong? All the young ladies in those houses are clean and tidy. Whose marriage isn't arranged by their parents and matchmakers?"

First, you climbed into Zhiyue's bed yourself. After you got married, you couldn't stand being alone. You also had that girlfriend of yours who even liked beggars and hooked up with your older brother.

"What good stuff could a bunch of snakes and rats like you possibly have?"

Qin Shuangshuang was so angry that her face turned red. She didn't know that He Xiangning would climb into her older brother's bed, but now this mess was being dumped on her head and she couldn't shake it off.

Seeing them arguing and fighting, and especially seeing their bloodied faces looking so frightening, the jailer couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't we do something about it?"

"No need, there's nothing good about it anyway, so there's no need to bother with it."

The jailer waved his hand. He was an expert at reading people's expressions. One was the wife and daughter abandoned by the Qin family, and the other was the Lin family, which had no chance of recovery. They had no background whatsoever.

They've offended the prince, and helping them would not only bring no benefit but would also drag us down. Only a fool would do something so stupid!

……

Song family.

Song Ruozhen was overjoyed when she learned that her father would be back soon.

She had never met her father since she transmigrated into the book, but she knew from the original owner's memories that her father had always treated her very well.

I had originally planned to tell my mother the news first, but I was worried that she would be too anxious if she found out, so I decided to wait until I had definite news to tell her.

However, she had only just returned when she heard that the Gu family had come to visit, and Liu Ruyan asked her to go with them.

"The Gu family's sudden visit at this time must be to express their gratitude?"

Since returning, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but worry about the condition of Old Madam Gu. She believed in Zhen'er's medical skills, but given the relationship between the two families, and the fact that the two from the Fan family were not to be trifled with, if they succeeded in interfering, it would be troublesome for them.

"Mother, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Song Ruozhen immediately noticed Liu Ruyan's worry and comforted her, "If it were just to express their gratitude, they should have come tomorrow morning. But since they've come now, I'm afraid they have other things to do besides expressing their gratitude."

Song Yanzhou went out today and hasn't returned yet, Song Zhiyu went to practice martial arts, and Song Jingshen was inspecting the shops, so only Song Yi'an was with the four brothers at the moment.

Upon learning that the Gu family had come to visit, he followed them to the front hall.

"Madam Song, we have come here today specifically to express our gratitude."

Gu Qingyan wore a gentle smile and expressed his gratitude the moment they met.

"My mother suddenly fell ill with a heart condition on the mountain today and fell into a coma. Fortunately, she was saved by Miss Song's medicine."

We are truly grateful, which is why we came specifically to express our thanks and bring a small gift; we hope you will accept it.

Gu Qingxiu also smiled broadly, "Thank you both very much."

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two had indeed come to express their gratitude.

"It's fate that we met today. We're happy to be able to help, but it's just a small favor. There's really no need to go to such lengths."

Song Ruozhen and Song Yi'an also saw the "small gift" that the Gu family had mentioned. This was no small gift; it was carried in by two servants, and just by looking at it, you could tell it was worth a lot.

"Yes, yes," Gu Qingyan said. "To be honest, my mother has been suffering from heart disease for many years. She has seen many doctors in the capital, but they can only barely keep her alive."

The doctor had said before that once the patient fell into a coma, the condition would worsen, and even…”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was surprised. She recalled the kind-faced old lady Gu she had met earlier that day, and felt an immediate sense of warmth upon first meeting her. She never expected that her illness was so serious.

Originally, she had mixed feelings about the Gu family because of the relationship between the two families, but now that she heard that the old man's condition was serious, she felt less resentful and more sympathetic.

Taking the opportunity, Song Yi'an sized up Gu Qingyan and Gu Qingxiu. Her fifth sister had previously made it clear that their mother was actually a member of the Gu family.

I hadn't noticed it before, but after observing closely now, I realized that my mother and they actually have some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.
