Chapter 137 Neither child is his
Miss Li Er cried out, "Father, no matter how wrong Mother was before, she's still your wife! How could you abandon your wife and children for another woman!"
Listening to his children's words, Magistrate Li felt helpless. He slowly closed his eyes and said coldly, "Your mother must leave our Li family!"
Miss Li suddenly stood up and said, "Father, if you want to send Mother away, then we'll leave too!"
Young Master Li chimed in, "That's right, if Mother leaves, we'll leave too!"
As they spoke, the two of them ran towards Madam Li.
Madam Li hugged the two children tightly, pleading, "My lord, please, for the sake of the children, don't divorce me."
Magistrate Li clenched his fists and said coldly, "Fine, then I'll leave. I'm not going to be an official anymore!"
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Just then, he bumped into someone.
A chubby, middle-aged man with small eyes.
Magistrate Li was startled. "Li Fu, why are you back?"
Li Fu was the steward of the Li family mansion. A few years ago, he said he was going back to his hometown to get married, so he left the Li family mansion.
Hearing the noise, Madam Li inside the house quickly looked towards the person at the door, her face full of surprise. She paused, then took two steps back.
"Li Fu, what brings you here? Didn't you get married and have children?"
Li Fu glared fiercely at Madam Li, then suddenly knelt down before Magistrate Li and said, "My lord, I'm so sorry!"
Magistrate Li was stunned. "Li Fu, what's wrong?"
Madam Li rushed over, calling out, "Li Fu!"
Li Fu grabbed Magistrate Li's robe and cried as he said, "My lord, I'm so sorry! More than ten years ago, the child Sun Ying was carrying wasn't yours at all, it was mine!"
Magistrate Li was utterly astonished. "What do you mean? What did you say?"
Madam Li scolded from the side, "Li Fu, don't talk nonsense!"
"Shut up!" Magistrate Li shouted at Madam Li, then pulled Li Fu up and asked him, "Tell me, what exactly do you mean? What do you mean the child isn't mine?!"
Li Fu pointed at Madam Li and angrily rebuked her: "Back then, you were engaged to Miss Liu Er. Sun Ying secretly drugged you in order to marry you, but you were too unconscious that night to do anything to her. In desperation, she came to me! I was the one with her that night, and the child in her belly is mine!"
Everyone present was taken aback.
Young Master Li pointed at himself and said, "You mean I'm your son?!"
Li Fu nodded emphatically.
Magistrate Li stood there dumbfounded, slowly looking at Young Master Li and Li Fu.
You know what, I hadn't noticed before, but now it seems they look exactly alike.
Magistrate Li was tall and of average build, with deep, large eyes, while Madam Li, though not tall, was quite thin and had almond-shaped eyes that were neither particularly striking nor deplorable.
However, his eldest son was fat from a young age, and he got fatter as he grew up. His eyes were slanted and looked like slits.
Li Fu was also chubby with slanted eyes.
Magistrate Li used to think that the child was fat because he ate too well, but now it seems that it's because he looks like his father!
He was so angry that he trembled all over, and pointed at Madam Li, his teeth chattering as he said, "Well, you're quite something, managing to keep this from me for so many years!"
Madam Li shook her head while crying, saying, "That's not true, he really is your son!"
Magistrate Li shoved her away forcefully and shouted angrily, "Whether she is or not, we'll find out soon enough with a blood test!"
"Someone come here!" he shouted to the servants in his house.
Madam Li hurriedly chased after him, "Sir, I really didn't lie to you!"
Magistrate Li said coldly, "Since you haven't lied to me, then let's do a blood test to prove kinship!"
What Li Fu said was true; Madam Li didn't dare to use blood for a paternity test at all.
Young Master Li stood there, stunned.
Miss Li Er, who was standing beside him, ran to Magistrate Li's side and said, "Father, how could you believe the words of an outsider! Don't you know best whether my elder brother is your child or not?"
She had barely finished speaking when Li Fu added, "Master, the Second Miss is also my child!"
Now it was Miss Li's turn to be surprised. "What?"
Before anyone could react, Li Fu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sun Ying was afraid that her son would lose his position, so she came to me again. At first, I doubted whether the second young lady was my daughter, but she has the same birthmark as me on her hand, so she is definitely my daughter."
Magistrate Li quickly looked down at the birthmark on Li Fu's arm, and it was indeed exactly the same as his second daughter's.
He suddenly looked at Madam Li, his voice trembling, and said, "You...you're really something! Your eldest son is someone else's, and your second daughter is someone else's too! Wearing one green hat wasn't enough, you had to make me wear a second one!"
