Chapter 313 Calling on the Child to Tell the Truth
Murong Yi's face flushed purple with rage, veins bulging on her neck. She glared at the two guards holding Su Wan'er and roared, "What are you standing there for! Drag her out of here!"
The two guards trembled at the roar and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
Just as the guards were about to forcibly drag Su Wan'er away, Huan'er suddenly shouted, "Wait!" Her voice was sharp, carrying a resolute determination.
Everyone was stunned. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huan'er kneeling, her knees scraping the ground. She quickly moved to Murong Yi's side, grabbed his clothes, and her fingers turned white from the force.
Lin Qianqian frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Huan'er?"
Huan'er ignored everything, raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and looked at Murong Yi, sobbing uncontrollably: "Your Highness, please listen to me first, Miss has not done anything to wrong you! Jincheng is not your child, but he is not Miss's child either!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi's previously distorted face froze instantly, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her anger was replaced by confusion and doubt. She opened her mouth, but could not utter a word for a long time.
Lin Qianqian's expression froze instantly. She and Murong Yi exchanged glances, quietly watching Huan'er.
Su Wan'er slowly raised her lowered eyes and looked quietly at Huan'er, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Murong Yi looked puzzled, her brows furrowed into a deep frown as she stared intently at Huan'er, her tone filled with urgency and confusion: "What did you say?"
Lin Qianqian was equally puzzled, her eyes filled with concern. She said softly, "Huan'er, what do you mean by that?" She leaned forward slightly, unable to resist the urge to know the answer.
Huan'er took a deep breath, tears welling up again. Her voice trembled uncontrollably as she slowly began to recount her story: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a long story… That day, my mistress and I passed by the Fifth Prince's residence and saw the Fifth Prince… His face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he was staggering, as if he had lost his mind. When he saw us passing by, he rushed straight towards us. My mistress was terrified and turned to run in a panic, accidentally pushing me in front of the Fifth Prince." Huan'er's voice choked even more as she spoke, her shoulders trembling slightly, her face filled with pain and humiliation.
Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian exchanged a glance, both frowning in disbelief.
Huan'er continued, "The Fifth Prince... he went berserk, grabbed me, and pinned me against the wall. I struggled and cried for help, but it was no use. Then, ignoring my resistance, he carried me into the mansion..."
Her voice trailed off, almost breaking into sobs, "When I woke up, everything was already...it was already too late."
At this moment, Huan'er's body trembled uncontrollably, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she could grasp her shattered dignity in that way.
Murong Yi was extremely anxious. He took a step forward, his face full of anxiety, and asked, "What happened next?" His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with doubt and worry.
Lin Qianqian's eyes were filled with heartache. She quickly stepped forward, gently pulled Huan'er up, and patted her back softly and gently. Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Don't rush, speak slowly." Her eyes were full of concern and comfort, trying to dispel the fear in Huan'er's heart.
Huan'er raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Su Wan'er with gratitude and dependence in them: "When I woke up, I was terrified and panicked. I didn't know what to do. Soon after, I found out I was pregnant. I felt like the sky was falling and I was even more scared."
She paused slightly, sobbed, and composed herself before continuing, "Just when I was in despair, I was so grateful to Miss." At this point, Huan'er's gaze locked onto Su Wan'er, and she choked out, "Miss told me not to be afraid, and told me to give birth to the child so she could raise it. She also comforted me, saying she would protect me. If it weren't for Miss, I really don't know what I would have done..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi's expression froze instantly, a mixture of shock, astonishment, and realization flashing across his face. After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty, his voice still carrying a hint of disbelief: "So, Jincheng... is your child with Fifth Brother?"
Huan'er slowly raised her head and looked at Murong Yi, her eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness. She didn't speak, but silently lowered her head, as if she couldn't bear this heavy secret.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, streaming down her cheeks, each drop landing on the cold ground, splashing up silent teardrops.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and suppressed sobs echoed softly in the quiet room, as if telling of endless grievances and pain.
