Hearing Song Ruozhen's words, Zhao Shuwan hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked at Qin Xiangheng.

When Qin Xiangheng noticed her gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he desperately tried to stop her with his eyes.

If you dare to say her name, you're finished!

"What's there to hide now? Since you plan to have the child, don't you also plan to marry him?"

Song Ruozhen noticed Qin Xiangheng's actions and slowly spoke: "If you miss today, you won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River."

Yun Nianchu felt disgusted with Zhao Shuwan and even more sorry for Song Yi'an, so she was surprised to see Ruozhen so calmly advising her.

Not resorting to insults is already considered maintaining decorum, so why would you advise her?

Song Ruozhen gave Yun Nianchu a wink. Zhao Shuwan was indeed hateful, but after today's incident, she could no longer cause any trouble.

The most hateful one is Qin Xiangheng. He and Qin Shuangshuang are birds of a feather. Today, we must expose his ugly deeds!

"Zhao Shuwan, your reputation is ruined now. Take this opportunity to tell everyone who the father of your child is. You will still have a chance to marry him. Otherwise, let alone get married, I'm afraid the Yun family will not even acknowledge you as their daughter."

When Yun Nian first saw Song Ruozhen gesturing for her to look at Qin Xiangheng, she turned her head and saw the latter's flustered appearance. She understood what was going on and added fuel to the fire.

Zhao Shuwan unconsciously imagined her parents' furious expressions when they found out about this, and she was startled.

Looking at Zhao Shuwan's panicked appearance, Yun Xiwan said smugly:

"Could it be that the man's identity is something that can't be revealed? Or... are you just a mistress who can't be seen in public?"

Zhao Shuwan bit her lip and glared at her fiercely.

Yun Xiwan calmly took the clothes handed to her by the maid and gave them to Qin Xiangheng, her eyes full of concern.

"Young Master Qin, your outer robe disappeared while you were rescuing people. Please put this on."

"Thank you." Qin Xiangheng awkwardly extended his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuwan gripped her dress tightly with both hands, as if she had made a huge decision, and said:

"It's Brother Xiang Heng, the child in my belly is his!"

Yun Xiwan thinks she can take this opportunity to steal Xiang Heng's brother? Dream on!

Xiang Heng can only be hers!

As Zhao Shuwan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Yun Xiwan's hand, which was handing over the clothes, froze in mid-air, her eyes wide. "W-what?"

"How could the child in your belly possibly be Young Master Qin's?"

At that moment, even Qian Wei and the others were dumbfounded; they were completely unaware of this matter.

Even though Zhao Shuwan has been appearing frequently lately, they noticed that the two were quite close, and they just assumed it was a thought that arose after the annulment of the engagement. Who would have thought that they would even have a child?

After Zhao Shuwan spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to look at Qin Xiangheng's expression, but her voice was very firm.

"That's right, it's his!"

"Zhao Shuwan, what nonsense are you spouting?" Qin Xiangheng roared angrily, his face flushed red.

Zhao Shuwan's eyes were red, and she cried pitifully, "Brother Xiangheng, this is our child. Are you just going to watch something happen to him?"

"Qin Xiangheng, you've been my classmate for so many years, how could you do such a despicable thing behind my back?"

Upon learning all this, the gentle and handsome Song Yi'an's face quickly turned angry, and even more so, showed disbelief and shock.

"I've always considered you a good brother and have never treated you unfairly!"

No wonder you always came with me whenever Shuwan came to see me. It was always such a coincidence. You've kept me in the dark all this time!

Song Yi'an's body trembled uncontrollably with anger, and her questioning voice was so heartbreaking that everyone felt sorry for her.

Such a thing would be unbearable for anyone, let alone Song Yi'an, the son of a general and a renowned scholar in the capital.

Back then, he was the ideal man that countless women dreamed of, and his engagement to Zhao Shuwan broke the hearts of countless girls.

Qin Xiangheng often addressed him as a brother. It is said that once, Qin Xiangheng got drunk and caused trouble, and was almost beaten to death, but was saved by Song Yi'an.

These two people, whom we trusted most, actually betrayed us and did such a despicable thing.

Hearing such shocking news, Xu He'an originally thought that Qin Xiangheng stealing articles was shameless enough, but who would have thought that the truth was far more outrageous than that.

"You must not covet your brother's wife! Qin Xiangheng, your actions are utterly outrageous! You have completely disgraced the Imperial Academy!"

"I-I didn't."

Qin Xiangheng's face turned pale, and he instinctively wanted to flee this place.

He turned his head and met the pointing and whispering gazes around him. He swallowed hard and realized that if he didn't clarify this matter today, it would be the day he was ruined!

"You said nothing?" Song Yi'an pressed, her face grim. "Are you saying this child isn't yours? That Shu Wan deliberately framed you?"

Qin Xiangheng glanced at Zhao Shuwan subconsciously, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Zhao Shuwan forced him to do it, so don't blame him for being ruthless!

"Yes, this child is not mine!"

"Zhao Shuwan is slandering me; I have absolutely no connection with her!"

Yun Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and looked down on Zhao Shuwan even more, her eyes filled with disdain:

"You're shameless! You're trying to slander Young Master Qin with something like this. Do you really think you can marry into the Qin family by doing this?"

At this moment, Zhao Shuwan didn't care what Yun Xiwan said; all she could think about was Qin Xiangheng denying their relationship in front of everyone.

"Brother Xiang Heng, you clearly said you would marry me after you passed the imperial examination, how can you treat me like this now?"

"Shuwan, stop making a scene. Quickly explain to everyone that I have nothing to do with you, and you are not pregnant!"

Since you're sick, go see a doctor quickly. Why ruin your reputation over jealousy?

Qin Xiangheng anxiously tried to pull Zhao Shuwan up, "I know you like me, but you can't use such methods just to marry me. It will only make me despise you!"

"What did you say?"

Zhao Shuwan's face turned deathly pale.

The man's actions were very reckless, showing no regard for her body.

At that moment, Zhao Shuwan even felt that Qin Xiangheng wished the child in her belly was gone.

"This is our child, how could you be so heartless to him?"

She shook off Qin Xiangheng's hand and looked anxiously at Song Ruozhen, "Ruozhen, I've told you everything I need to say, you must save my child!"

Song Ruozhen naturally kept her word.

She took out a pill and handed it to Zhao Shuwan, saying, "Take this medicine to prevent miscarriage first, and then I will give you acupuncture to save the baby."

However, just as Zhao Shuwan was about to take the pills, Qin Xiangheng knocked them away.

"Shuwan, do you really believe what Song Ruozhen said? Don't forget, you just broke off your engagement with Song Yi'an. I'm afraid the entire Song family hates you even more!"

"Song Ruozhen could be so ruthless towards Lin Zhiyue, whom she'd been engaged to for two years. How could she possibly genuinely help you?"

"She clearly harbors resentment towards our Qin family because Shuangshuang stole her fiancé, which is why she joined forces with Song Yi'an!"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't believe them. Come with me to see a doctor; only then can you save your life!"
