Before he could even react to the joy in his mother's eyes, she had already told him that his father … How could he accept this?

"No, no!" Lin Shuang suddenly covered her ears and screamed. The gazes of the people in the courtyard were all on him, and he felt as if they were ignited wherever he went, burning his skin to the point of boiling.

Lin Shuang looked at Mingruo and hysterically said, "What nonsense are you spouting? That's not it at all. The child in my stomach is yours, yours, yours!"

She called out to her father, and then said to Mingruo, "Mother, how can you say that? You were unconscious for the past few days, and it was my, your father, who had always treated you like a pregnant woman. Now that you've awoken, even if I have no merits, I still have to put in a lot of effort, right?

Lin Shuang was crying in her son's arms. Lin Qing did not spare her. "How can you be so suspicious of Shuang'er? After being together for so many years, you're already so bright. You're really too sick!" After saying that, he lay down beside the county magistrate's feet, loudly asking for his decision.

Mingruo's face was deathly pale as she held onto the pillar by the door, barely able to stand. She didn't expect that these two would be so thick-skinned as to be able to do something like this.

The county magistrate shook his sleeves. She didn't want to interfere in the affairs of her family. She only wanted to know if the bandit was here or not.

"Officer Liu, who reported that a thief appeared?"

"Reporting, milord. It's a commoner." A clear voice came from the crowd.

The county magistrate looked towards the source of the voice. It was a slender and well-built girl that looked very natural. She was looking at Ye Ci with a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

"Oh?" "Tell me about it." The county governor said to Xiaolou.

Zhan Xiaolou took a deep breath. "Sir, I did see a person sneaking over the wall. It was her." She then pointed at Lin Qing and continued, "A few days ago, I saw a notice board outside the yamen stating that there was a two-inch long scar on the thief's right wrist. It said that the thief had not been caught yet …"

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately called for Lin Qing's wrist. The female soldier pulled Lin Qing's wrist and pushed up her clothes. A two inch long scar appeared before everyone's eyes!

"Oh my god!"

"Too terrifying, she really is that bandit …"

"She must have set the fire."

All the servants in the courtyard started whispering to each other, the sound of breathing in was especially obvious.

Lin Shuang obviously did not expect this. He stared blankly at Lin Shuang and muttered, "How could … How could this be … Cousin, how could you be …"

Before she left, Liu Cuihua even smiled at Lou Cheng, saying that she had helped him greatly and that he would treat her to a good meal when he had the time. The county magistrate was clearly in a good mood, as he had a sleepy and drowsy look on his face when he compared the two of them.

The officers and soldiers had all left, what was left was the matter of the Ming family.

Half of her body was leaning against Mingruo, who stared blankly at her. She called her elder sister softly, but Mingruo sneered and quickly walked into the room, quickly coming out with a piece of paper in her hand. It was written in black and white, with two large words on the leftmost side, 'Book of Suspension'!
