She died tragically at her engagement banquet, and was reborn to marry the heir of the Beijing elite

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen frowned deeply. "Shen Mengqing, stop talking nonsense."

Madam Fu was also displeased. "How can a young lady be so shameless as to slander my son like this?"

Shen Mengqing, however, cried and clutched her stomach, saying, "What I said is true. I got pregnant after that day."

At this moment, Shen Mengxia, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Sister, if you are really pregnant, why didn't you tell the Fu family immediately? Why did you have to choose to cause trouble on a day like today? Could it be that you have some other intention?" Shen Mengqing was speechless for a moment, her eyes darting away.

Fu Yanchen looked at Shen Mengxia, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

He declared loudly to the crowd, "I, Fu Yanchen, have only ever loved Shen Mengxia. As for Shen Mengqing, I was merely saving her that day and did absolutely nothing out of line. If you continue to make trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite." After saying this, he took Shen Mengxia's hand and continued walking towards the ceremony stage.

In contrast, Shen Mengqing had already been restrained by the Fu family's security personnel, one on each side.

After the ceremony, the group took Shen Mengqing back to the Fu family home.

"Speak, is there something you're having trouble telling me?" Fu Yanchen stared intently at Shen Mengqing, his voice low and serious.

Shen Mengqing's lips trembled slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Finally, she mustered her courage and answered softly, "Maybe...maybe you won't believe it if I tell you, but it's true—I am the sister you rescued from the human traffickers' den back then! From that terrible moment, I fell deeply in love with you, Fu Yanchen."

Her words struck like a bolt from the blue, instantly resonating in everyone's hearts. For a moment, Fu Yanchen, Shen Mengxia, and Fu's mother, who was also present, were all stunned and stood frozen in place, as if they had been frozen in place.

Shen Mengqing gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and continued, "The child I'm carrying is indeed not Fu Yanchen's. But I simply can't bear to let my child have a father who is worse than a beast, so I've kept it a secret until now..."

At this point, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief, and she cried even more heartbrokenly.

The truth was shockingly outrageous. Shen Mengqing's aunt, in order to force her to submit and marry Liu Zifeng, had cruelly defiled her on that very day at the hotel.

Their purpose in doing this was simply to preserve the Liu family bloodline, so they meticulously planned Shen Mengqing's ovulation period and gave her an aphrodisiac.

What's even more unbelievable is that Liu Zifeng actually preferred men, but in order to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by his family to carry on the family line, he ultimately forced himself on Shen Mengqing despite his deep reluctance.

When Fu Yanchen found her, her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and she appeared to be under the influence of an aphrodisiac. The reason for this was truly infuriating.

It turned out that Liu Zifeng only wanted to leave offspring so that his family could continue its lineage. His lovemaking with Shen Mengqing lasted for less than three minutes before it was over.

However, because the time was too short, the effects of the aphrodisiac had not yet completely dissipated before Liu Zifeng pulled up his pants and left.

Initially, Shen Mengqing didn't have much affection for the child she had unexpectedly conceived, and even made up her mind to abort it.

But when she arrived at the hospital and lay quietly on the cold operating table, waiting for the doctor to perform the abortion, an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up inside her. It was an innate maternal instinct that made it impossible for her to cruelly abandon this unborn life.

Ultimately, Shen Mengqing decided to keep the child.

She wanted to be selfish for once, to disregard the opinions and views of others, and to bravely take this step only for herself and her child.
