Old Madam Ren paused and sighed, "She came to me this time because she is pregnant with Mao'er's child."
"What?" Ren Shimao jumped up first.
Lin's vision went dark and she almost fell. Ren Shimao subconsciously went forward to help her, but she pushed him away and because of the excessive force, he fell to the ground.
Seeing that she was pale and looked desperate, Ren Shimao still wanted to help her.
Lin suddenly screamed and cried out: "Get out! Get out! Don't touch me!"
Old Madam Ren watched Lin's outburst and gently advised, "I've already invited a doctor to come to the mansion. If what she said is true, no matter how wrong the master is, we in the Ren family cannot let our descendants live outside. But don't worry, your mother knows about your grievances. Even if she gives birth to a child, she will at most be a concubine."
"At most, a concubine?" Lin repeated what Old Lady Ren had said, shrilly. "What do you mean by at most, a concubine?"
Ren Shimao glanced at his wife and was about to say something to Old Lady Ren when she said, "Mao'er, come with me. I have a few words to ask you."
Then he instructed the eldest wife, Wang, "Go help your sister-in-law to her feet and have someone wipe her face. Don't let others laugh at you. Is there anything that can't be discussed properly? You have to make a scene so that everyone will know about it!"
The eldest wife murmured in agreement and went to Lin's side to persuade her. The old lady had already gone straight to the inner room.
Ren Shimao glanced at Lin who was crying inconsolably, lowered his head and followed the old lady.
The mother and son went to the inner room. The old lady scolded with a stern face: "What is going on? I half believe what that woman said. I know you are not a frivolous person. How could you do such a thing?"
Ren Shimao stammered, "Last time, because you scolded Huijun in public, I came back to persuade her but she scolded me instead. I was also angry at the time, so I ran out to drink with my friends. Later, I don't know how I ended up sleeping in the hotel's guest room... I was too drunk and went to the wrong room, mistaking her for... for Huijun."
Old Lady Ren frowned. "Are you sure you walked into the wrong room? And didn't you fall into someone's trap?"
Ren Shimao thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. She was going to visit relatives in Jizhou and temporarily stayed at the inn behind the restaurant. When I woke up, I realized I had gotten into trouble and was afraid it was a setup, so I asked someone to investigate. She is from Qizhou and went with her father to attend a birthday party at her uncle's house in Jizhou. Unexpectedly, my father fell ill on the way, so he sent someone to Jizhou to ask his uncle to send someone to pick her up. I and my father waited at the inn. Her family is an ordinary farmer in Qizhou. I also checked her uncle's family and they run a southern goods store there, so there's nothing wrong with it."
