But now this child is actually standing right in front of you, and has been brought to Shen Qingtang.
He was both terrified and angry, terrified that what happened back then would be exposed.
He was furious that his plan had such a big flaw, and his face turned extremely ugly.
The little boy was as thin as a bean sprout.
Suddenly she raised her head and cried out "Mother" in a heart-wrenching voice, soft and hoarse, making everyone's heart tighten.
The couple quickly stepped forward.
He recounted the events of that year to Shen Qingtang: "Back then, Lu Jin sent someone to throw the child into the snow to kill him. We happened to witness it, so we chased the man away and secretly rescued the child. We've kept it a secret all these years because we were afraid Lu Jin would find out..."
These words struck Lu Jin like a thunderbolt. He was the man he had sent to deal with the child years ago.
He had mysteriously disappeared long ago, and he had searched for a long time without any news. It turned out that this couple had intercepted him. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing his state, Shen Qingtang was furious. She grabbed his collar and slapped him several times, drawing blood from his mouth. "Tell me! Who did you send to throw away my child back then?!"
Lu Jin was stunned by the beating and was about to make a fuss when the couple spoke first: "He's a lame old man with a scar on his left cheek!"
Shen Qingtang's eyes turned cold, and she pressed Lu Jin again, "Is that so?"
Lu Jin still wanted to deny it.
Shen Qingtang took out a black pill from her spatial storage and handed it to him: "This is a pain pill. After you take it, as long as you don't tell the truth, you will feel so much pain that your muscles will twitch and your bones will feel like they are being broken apart. You will feel like you are dying."
Upon seeing this, Lu's mother immediately rushed over and cursed, "Shen Qingtang, you vicious woman! How dare you torture him! You will be punished by heaven!"
Shen Qingtang ignored her completely and directly stuffed the pill into Lu Jin's mouth.
Not long after, Lu Jin was rolling on the ground, clutching his body, sweating profusely from the pain, and screaming repeatedly: "I'll talk! I'll talk! It was that lame old man! I told him to throw the child into the snow on the back mountain! I also told him... to strangle the child!"
He was in so much pain that he confessed everything, begging Shen Qingtang to stop the excruciating pain.
He still can't understand it.
Where did Shen Qingtang get such a vicious drug? The little boy watched Shen Qingtang interrogate Lu Jin.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her lips trembled with grievance, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Mother, don't you believe me? Why don't you acknowledge me... I don't have a father, I only have a mother..."
He continued sobbing, "My uncle and aunt said that I am also a child loved by my mother. I was so happy when I heard that..." As he spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string, making him look pitiful and heartbreaking to see.
Just then, Shen Qingtang's parents, eldest brother Shen Minglan, and second brother Shen Mingzhao arrived.
Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Shen rushed over, and Su Lingwei and Qin Wanqing also came.
When everyone saw the chaos at the inn's entrance and the little boy crying while clinging to Shen Qingtang's knees, they were all astonished and didn't react for a moment.
The surrounding exiles began to whisper amongst themselves, their voices growing louder and louder: "So Shen Qingtang has a child?"
Shen Qingtang looked down at the little boy in her arms who was crying incessantly, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Pei Nian'an, who was standing to the side, turned pale instantly upon seeing this scene.
He silently lowered his head and stared at his toes.
She bit her lip hard and quietly turned and left.
He knew this was the moment his aunt and her biological son would reunite, but his heart ached as if it were being squeezed. He dared not watch any longer and could only run away.
But Pei Nian'an had only taken a few steps out of the inn when a man in black suddenly darted out from the side.
Cover his mouth and nose.
A pungent smell of sleeping pills instantly filled his nostrils, his vision went black, and he passed out. He was carried away by the man in black and disappeared into the alley.
When Pei Nian'an's mouth and nose were covered by the sleeping pill, she could only let out a weak whimper.
