Li Longze was not completely sure in his heart. He could not guarantee that he could give his fatherly love to the unborn child consistently.

Mother and child are connected by heart. Rather than regretting for the rest of their lives, it is better to let them be inseparable forever...

…

Night fell in the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the old lady and the second young master still had not returned. This made Jiang Shuxiu very worried, and she waited anxiously in the Xiangyun Hall.

Xue Jiyan's carriage slowly returned, and Jiang Shuxiu hurried over, her tone full of worry: "Uncle, why are you back so late?"

Xue Jiyan explained solemnly, "Sister-in-law, there was some trouble at the Spring Examination. The crowd was in chaos and the carriages were stuck in the street, so we were delayed for a while."

Jiang Shuxiu felt even more uneasy after hearing this. She thought of her cousin Jiang Lun, so she asked, "Did Jiang Lun come out with you?"

"As soon as we came out, we were separated by the crowd. Sister-in-law, did something happen?" Xue Jiyan asked with a frown.

Jiang Shuxiu told her brother-in-law that Hong Yingrong and Xue Zhongfu had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet.

At this moment, Mother Han rushed over and announced, "The Second Young Master and Young Master Jiang Lun are back!"

"Where is my mother?" Jiang Shuxiu blurted out in a hurry.

Mother Han shook her head, her face showing obvious panic and uneasiness, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Jiang Shuxiu and Xue Jiyan looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

They hurried to the front door, and just as they stepped out of the threshold of the front hall, they saw Jiang Lun staggering in with Xue Zhongfu.

Xue Zhongfu's face was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Jiang Shuxiu and Xue Jiyan were shocked when they saw this and hurried forward to support him.

Before they could ask about Hong Yingrong's condition, Xue Zhongfu staggered again and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, staining their vision red.
