"How would I know who his father is?"
"Hmph! You're so dense! The child's father is standing right in front of you..."
Empress Qi looked up at Leng Chuchen in surprise, then suddenly let out a soft snort.
"Chen'er, you'll stop at nothing for that woman and that child, even going so far as to fabricate such a lie to deceive your grandmother?"
Leng Chuchen frowned slightly and replied solemnly:
