Wang Fang spoke up: "Lian Qiao, tell me, whose child was it that you were carrying before?"

She felt no sympathy whatsoever for this licentious man in the inner quarters.

Lian Qiao was a little scared by the large commotion. Could it be that they found out about his fake pregnancy?

No, if I knew, I wouldn't have asked that question. Besides, if this were the case, the head of the family shouldn't have been mobilized!

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lian Qiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Of course it belongs to the mistress."

Wang Fengyue was furious and wanted to step forward to punch and kick Chen, but was stopped by Chen's father.

It would be undignified to do it yourself in front of so many people.

“If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame us for being ruthless,” Wang Fang also said.

Lian Qiao remained silent; he simply couldn't speak! He dared not imagine what would happen if these people found out he was faking his pregnancy.

Seeing that Lianqiao refused to speak, Wang Fang realized that bloodshed was the only option.

"Someone come here."

“Take him out and beat him with sticks. We’ll stop when he starts talking.”

"yes."

Lian Qiao was truly terrified upon seeing this scene. "No! I haven't done anything wrong! This child really is the mistress's!"

Seeing that everyone in the room seemed indifferent, not a single person was willing to plead for him.

As Lian Qiao was being dragged away, she grabbed Wang Fengyue's robe and cried out, "My lady, believe me, the child is really yours! Please save me, please save me!"

Wang Fengyue sneered, realizing he must have been incredibly stupid to believe him, and that he had even caused the death of his younger brother, Shao.

He raised his foot and kicked Lianqiao to the ground, saying, "You should beg your second sister, not me."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Fenglun, "Second sister, don't you think so?"

"Don't you feel sorry for Lianqiao seeing her like this?"

Lian Qiao felt a chill run through him; his wife suspected him of having an affair with...

How could that be? He had absolutely no connection with Wang Fenglun. Who framed him?

But he didn't have a chance to think about it anymore.

He was dragged out and hit repeatedly with a board, drawing blood in no time.

And inside.

"If my eldest sister doesn't care, why should I?" Her elder sister must be delusional; she's always trying to pin accusations on her.

The Fifth Prince found it both funny and exasperating. He hadn't expected Wang Fengyue to be so good at making connections, which led the situation to develop in such a peculiar way.

But it's okay, everything is under control.

But Wang Fenglun's father couldn't sit still. How could this young lady slander his daughter like this?

"Miss, it's best not to make baseless accusations without evidence, lest you tarnish the Wang family's reputation."

These words struck a chord with Wang Fang. Her eldest daughter kept harping on her second daughter, insisting that Lun'er had slept with her man. If this got out, what would people think of the Wang family?

They don't care about their family at all.

Thinking about it, she turned to look at the Fifth Prince over there. Well, it's good enough that this daughter won't bring trouble to the Wang family.

"I'm making baseless accusations? It's clearly Wang Fenglun who dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it!"

Tensions rose sharply.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported, "Sir, he has confessed."

"Bring him in quickly."

The servants dragged the barely alive Lianqiao in.

Lian Qiao has no more desires now; all he wants is to live.

"Speak," Wang Fengyue said coldly. She wanted to see who this adulterous woman was!

"I... I wasn't pregnant at all. It was... it was a fake pregnancy." Lian Qiao didn't know why his wife was so sure he was carrying someone else's child, but in this situation, a fake pregnancy was better than cheating on someone else.

Those present were astonished; she wasn't pregnant?

Seeing the adults and young lady making such a fuss, everyone seemed to know something.

"What?" Wang Fengyue was somewhat incredulous. She had never been pregnant?

He lied to her!

Wang Fengyue suddenly recalled Chen Zhishao's explanation before leaving, saying that he hadn't pushed him at all. If that were true...

"What evidence do you have?" Lord Wang asked.

"My maid Xiaozao knows that, and also, that doctor from that day, was bribed by me."

Wang Fang ordered someone to bring the witnesses.

Wang Fengyue was furious. "You bastard!"

After saying that, he kicked Lianqiao again and again until she spat out another mouthful of blood before he stopped.

The Queen Mother frowned as she watched. This eldest daughter was far too tyrannical. This man had at least been with her.

The father's heart sank. If Lianqiao had never been pregnant, then his daughter was truly...

Thinking of the Fifth Prince over there, she knew she had to find a royal physician to treat her daughter.

With all the witnesses brought over, the servant confessed in no time.

As for the doctor who had been bribed, seeing this situation, he dared not offend these powerful families and hurriedly begged for mercy, almost to the point of taking off his pants to show them.

Now the truth is out.

Qiong Shijun also raised her eyebrows in triumph, "Doesn't the eldest young lady need to apologize to my son?"

Wang Fengyue snorted coldly, "Even if she didn't have an affair with my servant, it doesn't mean she didn't poison me."

Upon hearing this, the father shouted, "What?"

"Is your infertility her fault?"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Now everyone knows what happened. So it was because she was impotent; no wonder she suspected her maid of having an affair.

Lian Qiao gave a few bitter laughs, realizing that she really was dreaming!

Wang Fengyue couldn't vent her anger on her father; what would others think of her now?

Only after blurting it out did Wang's father realize what he had said, but it was too late, and he was filled with remorse.
