Chapter 319 With heartfelt words of advice, the three of them returned to their residence together.
Inside the Fifth Prince's residence, the atmosphere was oppressive, making it hard to breathe. Murong Yi frowned, her gaze fixed on Murong Han, and said in a deep voice, "This has already happened. Whether you intended it or not, it still happened, and the other party even bore you a son..."
Murong Han suddenly stood up, his face full of confusion and doubt. His eyes were wide open as he stared straight at Murong Yi, his lips trembling slightly: "What son? Why have I never heard of having a son? What's going on?"
At this moment, Lin Qianqian clenched her fists, her hands trembling slightly, her face filled with heartache and helplessness. She took a step forward and said, "It's all that woman, Su Wan'er! She's too cruel!"
Murong Han looked completely bewildered and leaned closer to her, asking, "Huh?"
Lin Qianqian pouted helplessly, her brows furrowed. She exchanged a glance with Murong Yi, took a step forward, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes flashing with anger, "She pretended to be pregnant, and after Huan'er gave birth, she snatched the child away and told everyone it was hers and Your Highness. We've all been deceived by her so much!"
Murong Han staggered back a step, his face filled with panic, muttering incredulously, "How could this be... how is this possible..."
Lin Qianqian bit her lower lip, her eyes reddening, and continued, "Not long ago, she even tried to harm my child with the prince. Fortunately, the prince caught her in time and prevented her from succeeding. Who would have thought that after being exposed, she not only showed no remorse but also talked nonsense and went crazy. Now she has been kicked out of the manor by the prince."
Upon hearing this, Murong Han was stunned and couldn't react for a long time. He suddenly plopped down in his seat, closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists involuntarily, and his heart was pounding.
Lin Qianqian looked earnest and leaned slightly closer to Murong Han. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her voice was soft but carried an undeniable certainty: "Your Highness, I know that this matter may seem too sudden and even absurd at first glance, but it is absolutely true that Jincheng is indeed your and Huan'er's biological child! If you have any doubts, you may wish to visit the Ninth Prince's residence and see for yourself!"
Murong Yi walked steadily to Lin Qianqian's side, naturally extending her hands to gently put her arms around her shoulders. Then, her gaze sharpened as she looked at Murong Han and solemnly said, "A few days ago, Fifth Brother's old ailment relapsed. He suffered from unbearable itching all over his body, and his skin was covered with red spots. The imperial physician diagnosed it as 'erythema syndrome.' Coincidentally, Jin Cheng also contracted the same ailment. The imperial physician said that this ailment is inherited from father to son, without any error."
"What!" Upon hearing this, Murong Han's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian pressed her advantage, saying, "If Your Highness still doesn't believe us, why don't you come back to the manor with us and examine it yourself? What do you think?"
Murong Han's gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Qianqian's sincere eyes and Murong Yi's serious and profound expression. After a moment, he slowly lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sighed softly, his mind churning with countless thoughts, unable to make a decision.
The mansion was so quiet that the crackling of the candlelight could be heard. Murong Yi frowned slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation and urgency, and looked at Murong Han, asking, "How is it? Fifth Brother, what are your plans for this matter?"
Lin Qianqian stood to the side, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She parted her lips slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness~" Her voice carried a hint of expectation, with the last syllable rising slightly, as if she were comforting her, or urging her on.
Murong Han frowned deeply, his expression solemn. He paced slowly, stopping occasionally, his hands behind his back, his nails digging unconsciously into his palms. The hall was extremely quiet, with only the sound of his heavy footsteps.
Time seemed to stand still. After a long while, he seemed to finally break free from the shackles in his heart. His expression relaxed instantly, he let out a long breath, slowly raised his head, and looked at Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian with a firm gaze.
"Very well, I will go with you to take a look!" Murong Han said in a deep voice, his voice steady but revealing a hint of determination.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's eyes lit up with surprise, her lips curled into a bright smile, and her dimples appeared faintly.
She looked at Murong Yi excitedly, and the two smiled at each other. The smiles were filled with the hardships they had gone through and the joy they felt at this moment, just like the sweetness that comes after bitterness.
"Your Highness, please!" Lin Qianqian stepped aside and gracefully gestured for him to enter, her voice still carrying lingering joy.
Murong Han shook his head helplessly, a faint smile flashing across his face. Then he nodded slightly, straightened his back, and strode towards the door, taking the lead in facing the unknown answer.
Murong Yi gently put her arm around Lin Qianqian's shoulder, and the two walked in perfect unison, steadily following behind Murong Han, heading towards the Ninth Prince's residence.
