107: Congratulations to Mrs. Duan, you are pregnant! (seeking monthly ticket)”No, this paper isn’t blank. There are marks on it.”

Duan Zhengchun came under the candlelight and observed carefully, ”Could there be some hidden message here?”

Duan Zhengchun was suspicious, but he couldn’t make it out. ”However, no matter how I look at this drawing, it looks like marks left by spilled water?”

Duan Zhengchun lowered his head and sniffed a few times, his face growing more puzzled. ”Why does this smell so strange? It’s a bit pungent, it feels like...”

Duan Zhengchun suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning.

As a seasoned ladies’ man, a philandering prince, and one who had conquered countless women, how could he not recognize what that smell was?

Then Duan Zhengchun saw the signature and handwriting below, and his eyes suddenly widened.

”I remember now, I saw this paper in Murong Fu’s study back then. It was on the desk, and even the writing and the seal on it were identical.”

After all, he was right at the desk at the time, so he naturally noticed the things on it.

Duan Zhengchun carefully distinguished, and the more he looked, the more suspicious the marks and patterns left on it seemed, just like... ”It’s like the outline of a person sitting on it, and the marks in the middle are the most numerous, which means...”

Pfft!

Duan Zhengchun took a step back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He understood the meaning of this drawing.

”So, that day, not only was I in the study, but she was also hiding in the study, perhaps even under the table. No wonder I was a bit puzzled last night when I heard them mention the study, thinking it was about something in the past. I never thought... they would dare to... right in front of me...”

”Perhaps, these marks were left by them after I left.”

”Yes, they deliberately got me drunk. They dared to act so brazenly and unscrupulously right beside me, what else wouldn’t they dare to do?”

”Humiliation, what humiliation!”

”Murong Fu, I will definitely be irreconcilable with you. Dao Baifeng, I must go back and divorce you!”

”No, I will torture you thoroughly!”

”I will never let you off so easily for the humiliation you brought me.”

Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth, his face distorted.

After an unknown period, Duan Zhengchun finally composed himself, put the painting back in its original place, tidied up the traces he had left, and then left the room.

At dinner, everyone was somewhat silent.

Duan Yu felt strange, but he didn’t know why.

”Could it be because of Aunt Ruan that Mother is angry with Father again?”

Duan Yu secretly wondered, ”But this is normal. Given Mother’s personality, it’s indeed impossible for her to be indifferent to Aunt Ruan’s presence.”

For this, Duan Yu also found a reason and was extremely convinced by it.

Ugh!

Suddenly, Dao Baifeng’s face turned pale, and she turned around, dry-heaving.

”Mother, what’s wrong?”

Duan Yu asked with an anxious expression.

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow, and Ruan Xingzhu also showed curiosity. ”Madam Duan, are you alright?”

”I, I’m fine.”

Dao Baifeng shook her head. She naturally knew what her situation was.

”Mother, should I go find a doctor?”

Duan Yu asked hurriedly.

Dao Baifeng’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, ”No need. It might be due to not being accustomed to the local environment. There’s no need to make such a fuss.”

Of course, she couldn’t let Duan Yu find a doctor, otherwise, once the doctor took her pulse, her pregnancy would be revealed.

”Madam Duan, what a coincidence, my family is a medical family, and I also have some knowledge of medicine. How about I take a look for you?”

Ruan Xingzhu said, already grasping Dao Baifeng’s wrist.

”No need.”

Dao Baifeng wanted to refuse, but before she could withdraw her wrist, Duan Yu said in surprise, ”That’s wonderful! Aunt Ruan, I’ll trouble you then.”

”Since Xingzhu understands medicine, let’s give it a try.”

Duan Zhengchun, who was beside them, finally spoke.

”This...”

Dao Baifeng looked hesitant. Duan Zhengchun couldn’t help but say, ”Does Madam have something that cannot be known?”

Hearing this, Duan Yu also looked up, and Dao Baifeng immediately stopped speaking. ”In that case, I’ll trouble Madam Ruan.”

Dao Baifeng secretly gritted her teeth, praying that Ruan Xingzhu’s medical skills were not brilliant.

But in just a moment, Ruan Xingzhu’s face showed astonishment, then she slowly released Dao Baifeng’s hand, looked at Duan Zhengchun, her expression somewhat complex, and then she smiled, ”Congratulations, Madam Duan, Brother Duan. Madam Duan, you are pregnant, nearly two months along.”

”What?”

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun suddenly rose in shock and anger, staring at Dao Baifeng.

He hadn’t expected that Dao Baifeng was not only having an affair with Murong Fu, but had even reached the point of pregnancy and childbirth.

Duan Zhengchun couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Duan Yu, however, didn’t notice this. After his initial surprise, he showed joy. ”That’s wonderful! Doesn’t this mean I’ll have a younger brother or sister soon?”

”Father, isn’t that right?”

Duan Yu looked at Duan Zhengchun excitedly. Duan Zhengchun regained his composure, forced a difficult smile, and sat down.

Because he knew very well that he hadn’t touched Dao Baifeng for more than ten years, and this time when Dao Baifeng returned from Yuxu Temple, he also had no chance to touch her.

Therefore, the child in Dao Baifeng’s womb absolutely could not be his own.

Then there was only one possibility—Murong Fu!

But Duan Yu didn’t know that in his eyes, his parents’ relationship had long since eased, and now that his mother was pregnant, it must be his father’s child.

Dao Baifeng also knew that she couldn’t hide it anymore. She just turned her head away, not looking at Duan Zhengchun.

”Hmph!”

Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly, stood up and said, ”I’m full. Madam should also take care of herself and be careful with the child.”

When he said the last four words, Duan Zhengchun emphasized his tone, carrying a hint of sarcasm.

After speaking, Duan Zhengchun left without looking back.

Although he didn’t want Duan Yu to know these things, upon learning that Dao Baifeng was pregnant and he was to be a cuckold, even if Duan Zhengchun tried to restrain himself, he couldn’t remain indifferent and accept it calmly.

”Husband!”

Dao Baifeng called out, then fell silent again.

”Mother, what’s wrong with Father? Is he unhappy that Mother is pregnant and he’s going to be a father again?”

Duan Yu was a bit confused.

Dao Baifeng forced a smile. ”Perhaps it’s because I kept it from him for too long, so when he suddenly found out, he’s a bit angry that I didn’t tell him.”

”So that’s it. Mother, you really shouldn’t have kept such a big secret. You traveled all the way to Jiangnan. If Father had known earlier, he would never have allowed you to do that, to avoid disturbing the fetus.”

Duan Yu said with a concerned expression.

”Don’t worry, it’s only two months, nothing serious. I’m tired too, I’ll go back to rest early.”

Dao Baifeng also slowly got up and returned to her room with a heavy heart.

After sitting down, Duan Yu frowned. ”Strange, why does the atmosphere between Father and Mother feel a bit off?”

Although somewhat puzzled, Duan Yu couldn’t figure it out.

He would never have thought that the child Dao Baifeng was carrying was not his father’s at all, but his sworn elder brother’s... Duan Zhengchun did not go to see Dao Baifeng, but instead went to Ruan Xingzhu’s room. Upon seeing Ruan Xingzhu, Duan Zhengchun embraced her. ”Ah Xing, from now on, I only have you.”

”I’m going to divorce that Bitch and marry you into the Prince’s Mansion.”

A moment later, Duan Zhengchun suddenly said to Ruan Xingzhu with a serious expression.

”Ah?”

Ruan Xingzhu looked surprised, then pleased, but then hesitated, ”But didn’t you say that her family background is powerful, and if you divorce her, it would trigger tribal conflicts and bring internal strife to Dali?”

”I can’t worry about that much anymore. Besides, if she had any conscience, she would leave the Prince’s Mansion on her own initiative.”

Duan Zhengchun snorted.

Although Ruan Xingzhu didn’t understand what had happened, she could guess that the relationship between Dao Baifeng and Duan Zhengchun had already broken down.

And this matter was something Duan Zhengchun suddenly told her after learning of Dao Baifeng’s pregnancy.

”It seems the problem lies with the child in Dao Baifeng’s womb.”

”Could this child not be Brother Chun’s?”

Ruan Xingzhu thought about it and was startled by her own idea.

Duan Zhengchun didn’t tell anyone about this matter, as it was disgraceful and he was the one being shamed.

Therefore, he didn’t even tell Ruan Xingzhu.

Ruan Xingzhu also made some guesses based on the atmosphere between Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng these past few days.

She didn’t know the specific reason.

”Brother Chun, can you tell me what exactly happened?”

”No matter what, I will always stand by your side.”

Ruan Xingzhu asked gently.

Duan Zhengchun’s eyes showed complexity. He opened his mouth but found it difficult to speak.

Finally, Duan Zhengchun slammed the table and said, ”Ah Xing, I won’t hide it from you anymore. You must have guessed it. The child in that Bitch’s womb is not mine at all.”

Duan Zhengchun said with a cold expression.

No matter how promiscuous he was, or how much he loved women, upon learning that this woman had betrayed him, and even did such a thing with someone else right in front of him, no man could bear it.

Even a man like Duan Zhengchun couldn’t tolerate it.

If the other party was someone like Kang Min, Duan Zhengchun wouldn’t care. After all, it was just a one-night stand where both parties got what they wanted.

Even Gan Baobao, Duan Zhengchun could understand. Although he felt angry, he wouldn’t be as pained as this. After all, Gan Baobao was not originally his wife; he had stolen Zhong Wanchou’s wife, and if he could steal her, others naturally could too.

Although uncomfortable, she was ultimately not his wife.

But Dao Baifeng was different.

This was his officially married wife, a princess recognized by all officials and citizens of Dali.

Yet she had an affair and bore a child with another man.

How could he maintain his dignity?

”Not yours? Then whose is it?”

Ruan Xingzhu looked surprised. Guessing it was one thing, but Duan Zhengchun saying it himself was another.

”You probably would never guess who this person is.”

Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth and, under Ruan Xingzhu’s astonished gaze, uttered three words.

”Murong Fu?”

”It’s Murong Fu? I remember Murong Fu is Duan Yu’s sworn elder brother, right? Dao Baifeng is almost forty years old, how could she... with her son’s sworn elder brother...?”

Ruan Xingzhu looked shocked, covering her mouth, afraid she would cry out.

”Heh heh...”

Duan Zhengchun gave a self-deprecating laugh. ”You can’t imagine it, and I couldn’t imagine it either, couldn’t understand it. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I would never have thought that Dao Baifeng, this woman who acted dignified, generous, cold, and resolute in front of me, was actually so wanton and Bitchy behind my back.”

”She’s truly a great actress. In front of me, she acted indifferent, showing resentment and hostility towards my philandering with other women, but she herself had an affair with someone. Hmph!”

Duan Zhengchun plopped down, letting out a cold snort. ”They committed such a scandal. I will never forget this grudge.”

”If it weren’t for Yuer, I would have exposed her scandal and her true colors in public long ago.”

Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth.

”Brother Chun, don’t worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by your side. I will never let them hurt you again.”

Ruan Xingzhu took a few steps forward and said earnestly.

Duan Zhengchun’s eyes showed emotion.
