CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 347: THE WOMAN QING’ER MENTIONED WAS THE ONE THEY HELPED DELIVER THAT DAY

"A freak is here, heaven and earth shall strike him down. Today, none of you even think about stopping me from taking action! Move aside!"

He did not want to give Ruan Mian and the others another chance. After shouting this, he charged towards the woman and child again without another word.

Ruan Mian furrowed her brow tightly and immediately slapped him across the face! Yun Xiu tripped his foot again.

The slap instantly sent the young master of the He Family spinning, leaving him completely bewildered.

The crisp sound even numbed Ruan Mian’s palm.

Taking advantage of the moment while the young master was still in a daze, Ruan Mian looked toward the woman with a sense of ridicule.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look, this is the husband you longed for, one who doesn’t care about you or your child’s life—haven’t you seen his true colors yet?"

"Back then, we provided for you with food and drink, taking the risk of others’ accusations just to protect your child. And for what?"

"Was it all for your husband to falsely accuse us, not only causing your child’s death but also dragging my entire Ruan Family down?"

Every word from Ruan Mian was like a sharp needle, relentlessly piercing the woman.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes bloodshot as she gazed intently at the young master of the He Family.

Indeed, she had been in despair earlier; even though she imagined her husband would not accept this child, she never thought that in front of so many people, he would not only disown the child but also want to end it personally.

He even wanted to slander the family who had been kind to her!

I ask you, what wrong did Miss Ruan’s family do, that they should be treated like this?

With all these thoughts, the woman had no choice but to face reality.

Now the knife was already aimed at her face; if she did not resist, the villain would only grow more rampant!

Not only could she not save her own life, but she also could not protect her child’s life.

This was a child she carried for ten months, going through so much hardship to give birth to.

Upon thinking this, the emotions within the woman surged forth like a flood breaching a dam.

She suddenly stood up holding the child, glaring vehemently at the young master, accusing him in front of everyone.

"Yes, the child is indeed his!"

"I am the daughter-in-law of the Prefect of Yu Zhou’s He Family. Several house servants of the Yu Zhou Prefect present here surely recognize me. The six-fingered freak you all speak of is indeed the child of the young master and me."

As soon as she said this, everyone was immensely shocked. The young master of the He Family became furious and loudly denied it: "Nonsense!! My family would never have such a lineage, you..."

"He Qishen, you are utterly devoid of conscience! Is this child not your own bloodline? To save yourself, you would even lay hands on an innocent infant. Do you have any sense of humanity left at all!!"

"When I married you, I endured endless contempt in the household for your sake. Finally, when I got pregnant, I was forced to flee disaster with you even as I was about to give birth, and you even took away the scarce food we had along the way!"

"A woman follows her husband; marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Whatever you did to me, I accepted it, thinking my fate was just bad. But today, seeing with my own eyes that you would even harm your wife and child, I now see your true nature!"

"Miss Ruan’s reprimand is right; you are not worth me doing anything for you. You don’t even understand gratitude. The flood disaster of Wuheng was clearly the consequence of your unauthorized dike breach, and now you want to push the blame onto your own child."

"You are unworthy to be a husband, unworthy to be a father."

Every word spoken by the woman was tearful, and as everyone present learned that the flood at Wuheng was caused by his unauthorized dike breach, a surge of fury rose within them.

Amidst the chaos, he hurriedly began to explain.

"Don’t listen to her nonsense!! This woman is utterly talking nonsense; it must be Ruan Mian deliberately..."

"Even at this point, you refuse to repent but instead try to sow discord between us and Miss Ruan? How can you be like this?! And about this freak, after all, he is your child, your own flesh and blood."

"As they say, ’Even the cruelest tiger does not eat its cubs.’ I have never seen such a heartless, insane villain like you."

As everyone started shouting angrily one after another, the scene descended into utter chaos.

Ruan Mian did not intervene, allowing the crowd’s fury to reach its peak.

Meanwhile, the young master of the He Family was thoroughly infuriated, glaring at the woman with bloodshot eyes, nearly as if he wanted to perish together with her!

However, the woman reached the brink of collapse. When He Qishen, ignoring all, charged towards her to kill the child, she somehow summoned the courage, abruptly leaping at He Qishen and biting his neck fiercely!

With He Qishen’s cries of pain ringing out, her bite actually drew blood from his neck.
