The needle dropped in the courtyard was audible, and everyone was shocked.

Tang Shishi was surprised that the imperial physician said forty days, how could it be forty days? She was clearly two and a half months pregnant. Lu Yufei was surprised that Tang Shishi was indeed pregnant but still did not know where the child was from.

Zhao Chengjun has been away from home for more than two months, and Zhao Zixun's whereabouts were also unknown recently. That was to say, the child in Tang Shishi's belly was not from the Zhao family's father and son, but a certain wild man. Lu Yufei was really contemptuous and secretly happy when she thought of this.

Liu Ji was also surprised that Tang Shishi was actually pregnant? He immediately thought about how long the Dragon Boat Festival was from today. The duration was not close, but the month might have been too short that the imperial physician's diagnosis was wrong. He did not think that Tang Shishi have the guts to have an affair. Liu Ji could not help but wonder whether this was Wangye's heir?

Several people had their own way of thinking, and no one spoke for a moment. Zhao Zixun was stunned for a while and when he reacted, he was furious.

As expected, Tang Shishi had an affair with another man and was pregnant. At first, Zhao Zixun was worried that the man was his father, but now, the imperial physician's words proved that he was not at all.

Zhao Zixun was extremely angry. If it was not his father, then who was it? Zhao Zixun's eyes were burned brightly with anger, and said harshly, "You have done such an immoral thing. Say, who is it, and when did it happen?"

Tang Shishi startled in a daze, unconsciously placed her palm on her lower abdomen. She was pretty sure that the child was two and a half months old, not only from the traveling doctor's diagnosis but also her daily life could confirm this.

Why did the imperial physician say forty days? This period was really strange. If someone were diagnosed with pregnancy but were not sure about the month, he could be said that it was a happy pulse and wait for the good news. Why did he need to add the forty days? Where did the forty days come from?

Tang Shishi reacted aggressively. If the period was too short, it was impossible to determine she was pregnant. If the period was too long, it would run into Zhao Chengjun. Forty days were just right. On this date, Zhao Chengjun was no longer in the mansion, and she was able to diagnose with a happy pulse.

It turned out that they wanted to mislead her child.

Tang Shishi suddenly looked at the crowd. Feng Qian's figure loomed behind the shadows of people. Feng Qian, like a dormant poisonous snake, hiding in the dark, hissing and spraying the venom, and was ready to pounce and rip away a piece of meat at any time.

Tang Shishi also immediately realized that she had not made a mistake by herself but had been reported. Obviously, the informer was Feng Qian. Moreover, Feng Qian bribed the imperial physician to deliberately lie about Tang Shishi's month, hoping to put Tang Shishi to death.

Feng Qian actually hated her to this extent. After entering the mansion, Feng Qian spent more than a year getting close to Tang Shishi, constantly exposing her weakness and incompetence in front of Tang Shishi, just to lower Tang Shishi's vigilance, and then give her a fatal blow. Feng Qian prepared the drug and let a man robbed Tang Shishi's innocence during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, Tang Shishi escaped by mistake. Feng Qian refused to give up after a single blow failed. She actually bribed an imperial physician to slander Tang Shishi for having an affair with others.

This woman was really a poisonous snake.

Zhao Zixun did not see Tang Shishi's response after questioning for a long time. He became even angrier. Suddenly, he raised his voice and said coldly, "Still don't want to say quickly. Who is he?"
