At this moment, Wu Manting began to understand something.

I was initially pleased, thinking this wicked woman was finally getting her comeuppance. But to my surprise, she always managed to defuse the situation with her silver tongue.

Unconsciously, she reached out and tugged at Yu Shuyan's skirt, her eyes flashing with anxiety.

Yu Shuyan bent down and whispered in her ear:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter how eloquent she is, it's just a dying struggle."

As she spoke, she straightened up and looked at Yinniang with a light laugh:

"You think there's no way to prove that the child in your belly isn't Dong Sanlang's, is that right?"

Yinniang's eyes flickered slightly, but she sobbed as she said:

"If you have a way to prove whose child it is, I hope you will tell me now. That way, I can clear my name and let Sanlang know that the child is his. I should thank you!"

She was certain that Yu Shuyan could never do it.

She had never heard of a method to determine parentage while a child is still in the womb.

Yu Shuyan nodded:

"Yes, you're right. I really can't prove whose child you're carrying."

Yinniang unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dong Sanlang:

"Husband, I can assure you that the child in my belly is definitely yours. If you don't believe me, you can do a blood test to prove paternity after the child is born. Now, shouldn't we deal with my sister's matter?"

Yu Shuyan saw that she had just felt a little safer, but immediately her evil intentions resurfaced, and she was already thinking about money. A cold smile crept across her face, but her smile widened further.

"Don't be so anxious. I only said that I can't prove whose child you're carrying. But I didn't say that I can't prove the child isn't Dong Sanlang's!"

Not only Yinniang, but everyone present stared at Yu Shuyan with suspicion.

Clearly, no one knew what she meant by those words.

Since it cannot be proven whose child Yinniang is carrying, how can it be proven that the child is not Dong Sanlang's?

Dong Sanlang grew anxious; he felt restless and uneasy, and couldn't help but roar:

"Spit it out! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death. If word gets out, I'll be the one in the right. Whoever comes to someone else's house and spouts nonsense about their wife's child not being theirs will be met with the same reaction—they'll all think I deserve to be beaten!"

Looking at his furious, distorted face, Wu Manting worried that he might actually become violent towards Yu Shuyan, so she couldn't help but tug at her and whisper:

"Shuyan, why don't you~"

Yu Shuyan, however, patted her hand gently, indicating that she could rest assured.

Still smiling faintly, he looked at Dong Sanlang:

"What's the rush? I'm just waiting for someone who can vouch for me!"

Dong Sanlang was so angry that he cursed:

"Are you kidding me!"

Pushing Yinniang aside, he raised his fist and charged at Yu Shuyan.

Yinniang's eyes were filled with a look of glee.

Wu Manting panicked. Seeing the menacing Dong Sanlang, she immediately put down the Wu Manyu in her hand, stood up and stood in front of Yu Shuyan, closing her eyes.

Looking at Wu Manting, who was standing in front of her, Yu Shuyan felt a momentary unease, having doubted her and been reluctant to part with the money, but she let it all go.

No one is a saint; how can anyone be rational forever?

Now, in this moment of danger, the fact that she stood in front of him says it all.

Immediately, she glanced coldly at Dong Sanlang, who was approaching menacingly. Her eyes turned slightly cold, and her mind stirred. Silver needles quietly appeared in her hand, ready to strike in the next second.

"Stop~"

A deep, reprimanding voice came from outside the door.

Dong Sanlang suddenly stopped moving, turned around and frowned as he looked towards the door.

Yu Shuyan's lips curled slightly:

coming!

The silver needles in his hand were silently put away.

Cui Yingying strode in from the main entrance. Behind her followed Doctor Ding and Xiao Zhu.

The one who just spoke up was Cui Yingying.

Apart from Yu Shuyan, the others stared at the group with puzzled expressions.

Cui Yingying, however, completely disregarded everyone's gazes and walked directly up to the group. She looked Wu Manting and Yu Shuyan up and down, then asked:

"I said, which of you is Yu Shuyan?"

Yu Shuyan smiled and nodded:

"I'm."

Cui Yingying looked her up and down, then pursed her lips and said:

"Is that all you're made of? Why is my master so concerned about you? Humph!"

Yu Shuyan chuckled inwardly:

This girl is really adorably arrogant.

She asked Xiaozhu to find Physician Ding, who must have gone to the Cui residence to take Old Madam Cui's pulse. The reason it took Xiaozhu so long to bring him here must be because she went to two different places.

However, it's good that Cui Yingying is here; she can play a big role.

"Hey~ who are you? How dare you just barge into someone's house like that? Get out!"

Dong Sanlang pointed at the gate and angrily chased people away.

Doctor Ding looked unwell. If it weren't for Lady Yuan asking him to come and help treat a patient, he would have been in trouble.

He was treated with great courtesy wherever he went; he was the head of the Imperial Hospital, a position that ordinary people couldn't easily invite.

How could this be? Coming to a family like this and being treated like this?

He glanced at Dong Sanlang heavily, then looked at Yu Shuyan:

"You're Yu Shuyan?"

Yu Shuyan nodded.

Before she could speak, Doctor Ding said directly:

"Tell me, who are you summoning me here to treat?"

Yu Shuyan didn't waste any time and pointed directly at Dong Sanlang:

"he!"

Dong Sanlang ignored him one by one, and now he even said he was sick.

Enraged, he clenched his fists, swung them twice, glared at Yu Shuyan, and roared:

"Are you all crazy? Explain yourself! Who's crazy? Who's crazy?!"

Yu Shuyan's expression was indifferent:

"Since you're not sick, what are you afraid of? Or do you really have some kind of illness that you're afraid of being discovered?"

Dong Sanlang was taken aback, then immediately felt annoyed. How could he have actually thought about it so seriously because of her question?

I want to start cursing.

Doctor Ding stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and took his pulse.
