Fang Pingshan closed his eyes in pain. No, if he explained things clearly now... No, there must be another way!

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He looked at the midwife who was standing by in fear, not daring to breathe. He stepped forward and kicked her in the abdomen, asking sternly, "Mother and child are connected by heart. The young lady is so sure that the child is not hers. Did you do anything about it?"

The midwife ignored the severe pain in her abdomen and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "No, no, no, absolutely not. If I did such a conscienceless thing, God bless you with lightning!"

The fear of being struck by lightning was so insignificant compared to the fear of immediate death. If there really was punishment from Heaven, everyone in the world would be wiped out. The midwife's vicious oath came out without a second thought.

Fang Pingshan looked at Xing Feiyan in embarrassment: "Feiyan, did you really misunderstand?"

"No, this is not my son!" Xing Feiyan said with absolute certainty. Looking at the red-skinned monkey in the cradle who was as skinny as a kitten, she felt no love but only disgust in her heart. It was very strange. She had seen many women's children. She didn't love them, but she didn't hate them either. But when she saw this child, she felt extremely disgusted. This couldn't be her child.

Someone must have hidden her child!

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she held up the swaddling clothes high: "Since you are unwilling to return my child, then let this child die first!"

Fang Pingshan's heart choked, and he immediately stopped her. He grabbed the midwife's collar with one hand, his eyes threatening: "Answer the young lady's questions honestly. If you dare to lie, I will bury your entire family with you!"

"Young Madam, I..." The midwife suddenly shuddered and looked at Fang Pingshan in disbelief. He meant that she should take all the blame, otherwise he would kill her whole family!

At this moment, the room was kicked open with a "bang". Fang Pingshan, who was threatening the midwife, and Xing Feiyan, who was sitting on the bed holding the swaddling clothes high, could not help but look at the person who came.

Xing Feiyan's eyes reddened as she yelled, "Dad!"

The person who came was Xing Changyuan!

He was now dressed in armor, his expression solemn and murderous. He looked at Fang Pingshan coldly, "Why are you still pretending to be so hypocritical?"

Fang Pingshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, not realizing his father-in-law had come prepared. "Father-in-law, what are you doing..."

"Old General, Young General! Oh, come, someone, please serve some tea. Our father-in-law has traveled all the way here and must be very tired. He should have some tea and some snacks to fill his stomach." Fang Chenggen and Old Madam Fang came up immediately, their hearts pounding. What was going on with our father-in-law? Why did so many soldiers surround the entire Fang Mansion?

"I am not worthy of enjoying the tea from your Fang family!" Xing Changyuan snorted coldly.

At this time, Deputy General Wang pushed Xing Lie to the door. Xing Lie opened his arms and revealed the baby in the cradle: "Sister, this is my little nephew."

Xing Feiyan was stunned and wanted to get out of bed immediately and go to the child, but she forgot that she had just given birth and the slightest movement would cause a tearing pain: "Ah!" She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Sanhu, give the child to the eldest lady!" Xing Lie said.

"Yes!" Wang Sanhu's wife had recently given birth to a sweet and soft daughter, and he often held her in his arms every day when he got home from work. Therefore, practice makes perfect at holding a child, and the child felt more comfortable in the arms of Lieutenant General Wang than in the arms of her uncle Xing Lie.

Wang Sanhu personally handed the child to Xing Feiyan's arms. Xing Feiyan looked at the child in his arms, then slowly put down her own hand: "Is this my child?"

Wang Sanhu nodded: "Yes, Miss, our people saw Fang Pingshan and his servant switching the items with their own eyes." He then looked at Fang Pingshan even more angrily: "Miss, he even planned to drown the young master!"

Xing Feiyan held her child in her arms. The little monkey happened to be hungry, and cried out with full energy and vitality, which was completely different from the kitten-like cry of the child just now.

Xing Feiyan cried with joy and held her child in her arms: "This is mine, this is my child!"

The sound she heard before falling asleep was exactly the same as that made by this little monkey, harsh and loud. If it wasn’t her child, whose was it!

When she was in Linjing, she was used to seeing the dirty things happening in the wealthy families. Her mother emphasized these things to her even at the risk of being heard, telling her to be careful when giving birth in the future and to watch out for the concubines' tricks.

Fang Pingshan, whom she married, had no concubines, so she didn't consider this aspect. As a result, she heard the child's voice clearly after it was born, but after waking up, he used this cat-like child to perfunctorily deceive her.

Xing Feiyan turned sideways to prepare to feed the child. When Xing Lie and Xing Changyuan, father and son, rushed over from Huangmo Pass, they brought with them several maids and servants from the Xing family. After these maids and servants arrived, they directly pushed aside the maids from the Fang family and protected the eldest lady. The maids from the Xing family even let down the curtain.

While the child was breastfeeding, Xing Feiyan's heart and eyes were filled with love. As for the cat-like child, he was left by the bed and no one in the Xing family went to see him.

Fang Pingshan felt distressed. He had just taken two steps when Xing Changyuan put a knife to his neck: "My good son-in-law, where are you going?"

Fang Pingshan glanced at the servant in the corner, signaling him to go get help.

As a result, the servant, who had been timid and loyal before, slowly straightened up in front of him and smiled maliciously. Fang Pingshan's heart sank: "You, him!"

Xing Changyuan snorted coldly: "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? I've wronged the elite of my Flying Tiger Battalion by making them bow down before you and serve as your servants."

"Only that idiot Deputy General Ma is in cahoots with you. Good words won't change that damned devil. I've already sent him to hell."

Fang Pingshan's voice trembled: "So you were on guard against me from the beginning?"

Xing Changyuan: "I didn't know you had another side. You secretly found a way to contact the people at Yishu Pass to ambush us. Fang Pingshan, Fang Pingshan, you do have some abilities, but you just don't use them in the right way."

Xing Feiyan had fed the child at this time and placed him inside to sleep soundly. The maid from the Xing family who was serving her immediately lifted the curtain for her.

Her voice was filled with a coldness she had never seen before: "Fang Pingshan, explain to me clearly why you drowned my child. Isn't he your child too?"

Fang Pingshan knelt there with an air of victory over defeat, offering no explanation but simply pleading, "Fei Yan, a day of marriage is like a hundred days of grace. For the sake of our marriage, will you please release this innocent child?"

"Innocent?" Xing Changyuan laughed heartily. "Fang Pingshan, it's already come to this, are you still going to keep it a secret?"

After saying that, Xing Changyuan clapped his hands, and a young woman who had just given birth and was wearing a white inner garment and a headscarf was quickly pushed in from outside.
