During their casual conversation, Rong Shang inquired that Guan Shuli had gotten married at the end of last year and was now pregnant, two months less pregnant than her.

Speaking of her story, Master Guan was filled with emotion.

He kept saying that the child had a hard life.

So many things happened to her before, but thankfully, God didn't give up on her.

In fact, what Rong Shang wanted to say was that all of this was her own fault.

She just didn't want to bring up those things from the past anymore.

In truth, how many bad things have those two done?

*

Ten months of pregnancy.

In September, Rong Chang successfully gave birth to a son.

When the baby was celebrating his one-month birthday, Guan's second concubine came.

During this time, she wanted to visit her child, but Shen Changling remained wary of her.

The child had just been held by the second concubine for less than an incense stick's time.

Shen Changling hurriedly took the baby back from her arms.

This displeased the second concubine.

Turning back, she said to Rong Shang, "What's wrong with my son-in-law Shen? Why is he treating me like a thief?"

Rong Chang smiled but remained silent.

You know why.

She then said a few more things to Shen Changling.

Rong Shang didn't want to listen to her anymore.

He instructed the maid outside the door to take the second concubine to the reception room.

After she left.

Shen Changling simply closed the door.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing his reaction, Rong Shang burst out laughing.

He looked at the child in his arms with a stern face.

He said in a serious tone, "This old woman is cunning; we'd better be wary of her."

"So that the little darling won't be bullied by her."

Shen Changling is right.

When Lord Guan came a few days ago, he mentioned the incident from the year before last.

She said that her sister lost a finger and her aunt was stabbed.

Why would Shen Changling step forward to vouch for Li Hao?

They were about to come out.

Lord Guan couldn't swallow this insult.

The couple came to celebrate their child's one-month birthday.

Lord Guan and Rong Chang didn't seem to think anything of it.

It's this second concubine...

I haven't seen her for almost two years, who knows what kind of crooked ideas she's come up with again.

Everyone went out for lunch.

Rong Shang said she wouldn't eat; she would stay in the room with the child.

But later...

The old lady kept nagging.

She still went out.

When she left, she handed the child to the maid beside her.

During the meal, she kept staring intently at the second concubine's figure.

Unexpectedly, the maid in the room had already been bribed by the second concubine.

When she finished eating and returned home, the child was gone.

!!

"Where's the child?!"

Shen Changling happened to walk up from behind.

Upon entering, I saw an empty room.

He was stunned.

"The child." Rong Shang frowned. "The child is missing."

*

"Find them! Find them all!"

"We'll find this brat no matter where she is, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground."

It was the old lady's voice.

Today, Shen Changling has been searching for the child for three whole hours.

As he left, he hugged her tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "Wait for me, I will definitely bring the child back safely."

At that time, she was actually quite calm inside.

In the courtyard, Master Guan slapped his second concubine across the face.

When asked, "Did you have someone take the child away?"

She fell to the ground and cried incessantly.

She kept denying it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't."

"Sir, please believe me, I really didn't ask anyone to take the child away."

She didn't even recognize that maid.

Night fell quickly.

Guan's second concubine was forced to stay in the Shen family.

West Wing

Rong Chang stood at the window, gazing at the night view outside.

At that time, many people thought she was terrified and wouldn't say a word.

Only she knew how lucid she was at that moment.
