Chapter 1416: Chapter 1237:

There was no immediate reply.

A week later, Feng Lu was discharged from the hospital.

Feng Wei personally drove to the hospital to pick her up, and even drove the car all the way into the Feng family courtyard, to keep acquaintances in the compound from seeing Feng Lu, which might bring up her faked death from more than ten years ago and, with one careless word, drag in her current family and then pull everything out into the open.

"Why would that old man and old lady from the Han Family make that kind of suggestion?"

After being back at the Feng family home for about half a month, Feng Lu’s face had been dark every day, and she hadn’t given anyone in the family a pleasant look. And given that she was going to stay with the Feng family until she "gave birth," Old Master Feng, after much deliberation, told Fang Su about Feng Lu’s lost pregnancy and the fact that her uterus had been removed before Feng Wei went to pick her up from the hospital.

After all, during Feng Lu’s mini-confinement, it would be Fang Su taking care of her.

However, Old Master Feng still kept the truth of Ming Han and Ming Wei’s parentage from Fang Su.

It was about nine in the evening now. Old Master Feng and Feng Wei came to Feng Lu’s room.

To avoid being overheard by the other people at home, Feng Wei closed the door behind him.

"Why else? Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are afraid you’ll do something stupid, so they thought our family could help you adopt a child from the orphanage, so you won’t feel you have no one to rely on in the future."

Old Master Feng repeated a censored version of what Father Han had said to him that day in front of Feng Lu. He hadn’t expected Feng Lu to not believe in the Han family’s good intentions at all, and her emotions were violently unstable.

"Did my fall in the bathroom have something to do with that damned girl Han Qian? Did the Han family come up with that suggestion you just told me about just to shut me up?"

Though she was asking, Feng Lu already had an answer in her heart. To be precise, the moment she woke up after surgery and learned the child in her belly was gone, learned that her uterus had been removed, she had already thought that her fall in the bathroom was no accident, that it was very likely Han Qian who had harmed her.

Because after Han Qian ran out of the house, got caught in the downpour and fell ill, the temperament she woke up with was vastly different from before. At that time, Feng Lu had already felt something was off about Han Qian and had grown wary of her.

Watching Han Qian act obedient in front of her.

Yes, from that moment on, Feng Lu had felt that Han Qian was pretending to be well-behaved, deliberately trying to cozy up to her. To find out what kind of game Han Qian was playing, she naturally cooperated with Han Qian and acted along.

So in Auntie Li and Han Bin’s eyes, the two of them got along very well.

But it had never occurred to Feng Lu that while Han Qian was acting all obedient and trying to curry favor with her in front of her, she would be setting up such a vicious move behind her back. She hated Han Qian, but she hated herself even more. She had obviously been on guard, so why hadn’t she thought that Han Qian would use such a malicious method against her?

A human life—Han Qian’s method had to do with a human life; one misstep and it would have been two lives.

How could a little girl bring herself to do something like that?

It wasn’t the first time Feng Lu had bathed in that shared bathroom on the second floor; she knew exactly how it felt to stand on those floor tiles. But that day, after she turned on the shower, it wasn’t long before she felt her feet slip and then... then she went down hard onto the floor.

Was that an accident?

No. Looking back now, the more Feng Lu thought about it, the less she felt it was an accident, and the more she felt it was eight or nine out of ten related to Han Qian—especially after hearing what Old Master Feng had said; she became even more certain that it was Han Qian who had cost her her child and had almost taken her own life along with it.

Thinking of this, Feng Lu pulled her thoughts back and glared at Old Master Feng like a vicious ghost: "Why aren’t you saying anything? Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re my father. I was harmed by that little bitch from the Han family, lost the child in my belly, and can never be a mother again. Why won’t you get justice for me and hand that little bitch over to the Public Security?"

"Feng Lu! What do you think you’re doing shouting at Dad like this?" Feng Wei’s brows furrowed tightly, his face dark as he stared at Feng Lu. "If it weren’t for the filthy things you did in the past that the Han family found out about, would Dad be letting that little girl from the Han family walk free? Would he be swallowing his anger and accepting that damned suggestion from them?"

Feng Lu froze. A moment later, she laughed, but her laughter sounded somewhat deranged: "Filthy things? You mean the truth about Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei’s parentage? But can a slap sound with just one hand? That may be a disgrace for me, but you’re telling me it’s not a disgrace for Han Bin?"

"Han Bin is a man—if word got out, it would just be taken as a bit of romantic scandal. And you? At the time you were a married woman, sneaking around with Han Bin behind your husband’s back. How could that be the same?

And don’t you forget who raised those two children. Don’t forget that Comrade Luo came to see our dad. If the truth about those two children’s parentage were exposed, the Han family would never acknowledge them, but how are you going to explain things to Comrade Luo?

Use your own brain and think carefully: Comrade Luo and his wife care about those two children. Once the things you’ve done end up hurting them, sending you down to the countryside, to the Gobi Desert, would take nothing more than a single word from Comrade Luo."
