When Shan Lingfei returned to the family, everyone in the family told him that his wife had cheated on him and run away with another man. She was caught in bed by the family head and a few elders.
They locked her up in the western courtyard, but she was rescued by her adulterer, and the two of them ran away.
Moreover, Shi Xiaohe had admitted that she married Shan Lingfei because she took a fancy to his family background. In reality, she did not love Shan Lingfei at all but loved someone else.
However, Shan Lingfei didn't believe these people. He loved Shi Xiaohe, and Shi Xiaohe loved him. There was no way she would betray him. Plus, he knew that his family had never liked Shi Xiaohe. Therefore, he was very sure that Shi Xiaohe did not run away with someone else.
He went to the courtyard where Shi Xiaohe was kept. Although it had been tidied up, he could still smell the blood in the air. However, a long time had passed, and the smell had become very faint.
Then, he noticed a piece of a shattered bowl hidden in the grass. There was still blood on it. Something must have happened here.
But he had no idea what.
One day, a little servant girl ran over secretly and cried, "Eldest young master, Young Madam gave birth in this courtyard. We all heard the baby crying. But when we reported this to the old master and Madam, Young Madam and the little Young Master were already gone."
Shi Xiaohe had once saved this girl, so she had always been very grateful and wanted to repay her.
However, she was only a servant. A casual word from the master could have taken her life.
The Master and Madam hated Young Madam so much. Once they found out that she had secretly helped her, she would be dead for sure.
However, she would risk her life to prove Young Madam's innocence.
"What did you say?" Shan Lingfei was shocked. "Xiaohe gave birth?!"
Everything matched. It explained why there was blood on the shard of the broken bowl. It was very likely that after Xiaohe gave birth, she used the shard to cut the umbilical cord since there were no scissors.
"Eldest young master, you have to trust Young Madam.
"Three months ago, young master went out on a mission. But just as you left, Madam ordered someone to give the young madam a bowl of medicinal soup to drink. Young madam drank it. But she did not know that this was a bowl of aphrodisiac.
"When she woke up, she was caught in bed with another man."
When she said this, she saw that Shan Lengfei's expression was very bad. The young servant girl immediately defended Shi Xiaohe and said, "Eldest young master, don't misunderstand. Young Madam did not betray you. When they were caught, neither of them had even taken their clothes off yet."
Although the family head and the elders loathed and despised Shi Xiaohe, they would not really let Shi Xiaohe cuckold Shan Lingfei for the sake of Shan Lingfei's face and the family's face. They only needed an excuse.

Shan Lingfei's face was dark and gloomy. His hands were clenched into fists, and blue veins popped up. He was unusually angry.
He never thought that his good father, good mother, and a group of elders would actually bully his wife and son like this.
"What about the birth?" Shan Lingfei suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
"After young madam was locked in this courtyard, Madam said that the family couldn't keep the child, so she ordered someone to get a bowl of abortion medicine," the little servant girl said while crying.
"Abortion medicine?" Shan Lingfei repeated while gnashing his teeth.
"However, when Young Madam was given the medicine, her lower body bled. Madam thought it was bad luck and assumed Young Madam was having a miscarriage, so she quickly retreated.
"However, not long after Madam left, the sound of a baby crying could be heard from the courtyard. But, Madam had given the orders that no one was to enter the courtyard no matter what happened."
Shan Lingfei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes spewing out a monstrous fury. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is too much."
When the young servant girl saw the furious eldest young master, she was so frightened that her body could not help but tremble.
However, for the sake of her benefactor, she continued, "After we heard the baby crying, we were very afraid and went to report it to the Master and Madam.
"However, when everyone walked into the courtyard, both young madam and little young master had disappeared. The only thing that was left was a bright red bloodstain and a floor full of debris."
Speaking up to this point, the young servant girl nervously said, "Eldest young master, if you ask me, the young madam was probably afraid that Master and Madam would hurt the child, so she carried him and left. She definitely did not run away with another man!"
Shan Lingfei asked, "How old was the child when he was born?"
The young servant girl was stunned for a moment, then said, "More than seven months!"
"Seven months?" Shan Lingfei gritted his teeth and said, "She gave birth to the child at seven months. The child was born prematurely!"
When he thought of how his wife was attacked on so many sides, he felt a deep heartache. At the same time, he felt unusual anger.
"Eldest young master, you have to find young madam. Her body is weak, and she is carrying a child. Without help, how can she survive?"
The most important thing was that their young madam was an ordinary person without any cultivation. If she ran into a bad person, what could she do?
"Naturally, I will go and find her!" Shan Lingfei calmed down. He looked at the little servant girl in front of him and said indifferently, "From now on, you can stay by my side and serve me. I will tell mother!"
The little servant girl took the risk to tell him the truth. He could not ignore her life and safety.
When the little servant girl heard this, she was first stunned. Then, she said very gratefully, "Thank you, eldest young master. Thank you, eldest young master!"
When she came to tell the truth to eldest young master, she was already prepared to die. But she did not expect that eldest young master would actually keep her by his side. This way, her life was guaranteed.
Shan Lingfei coldly ordered, "Keep these secrets to yourself!"
The little servant girl very respectfully replied, "Yes!"
She did not know what the eldest young master was going to do, and she couldn't control him, so she just had to be obedient.
After a few days, the Shan family's servant girls were really going crazy with joy.
The eldest young master took in a servant girl who used to serve his wife as his mistress. They never thought this would happen.
Before the eldest young master got married, he did not get close to any woman.
After getting married, he only had the young madam in his eyes.
The servant girls didn't think they had a chance. But things had changed. After the young madam ran away with her adulterer, the eldest young master began to take in mistresses. He even knew how to flirt with these pretty little servant girls.
Now, they had a chance to leap up to the top.
However, no one had expected that the eldest young master's spiritual root would be destroyed, and his cultivation would be crippled a few days later.
In just a few days, he had turned from a genius to a good-for-nothing.
"Bastard, what did you do to have someone come to our house to seek revenge and destroy your spiritual root and your cultivation?" The head of the family was furious when he saw his eldest son, whom he used to be proud of.
Shan Lingfei said calmly, "I merely flirted with the young master of the Leng family."
"What did you say?" The head and Madam were shocked.
The young master of the Leng family, not the young miss of the Leng family!
It was fine if it was the young miss of the Leng Family, who was the approved daughter-in-law of Shan Lingfei's parents anyway. Plus, the young miss of the Leng family also liked Shan Lingfei.
If the eldest daughter of the Leng family were married to the heir of the Shan family, then the status of the Shan family would rise.
However, Shan Lingfei had to go and provoke the eldest son of the Leng family!
The eldest son of the Leng family was the eldest son of the largest family in the Nine Heavens Continent. He was also the heir of the Leng family. His status was noble.
He would never let this insult rest.
No wonder someone came looking for Shan Lingfei in the middle of the night and destroyed his spiritual root, and crippled his cultivation.
Without a spiritual root, Shan Lingfei became a good-for-nothing. Furthermore, he had offended the eldest young master of the Leng family. Which large family would have a marriage alliance with him now?
When he realized his proud son's life was ruined, the head of the Shan family was so angry that he almost went to the Leng family.
But he didn't dare!
Shan Lingfei gave up on himself and drank heavily every day. He even flirted with the girls from time to time.
If it were in the past, the servant girls would be so happy. However, the eldest young master had lost his power and status.
The Shan family head and elders thought it was too embarrassing to keep Shan Lingfei at home.
Not long after, they found a mistake and chased him out of the family.
Shan Lingfei, who had been chased out of the family, came to the foot of the mountain. He encountered a tall man in white and said, "Brother, thank you!"
The man in white turned around. If someone he knew were here, they would definitely cry out, "Young Master Leng!"
Young Master Leng took a jade bottle and handed it to Shan Lingfei, saying, "This is the antidote! Take care!"
Shan Lingfei took it and said, "Thank you, take care!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Looking at his departing figure, Young Master Leng frowned and asked in puzzlement, "Is it worth it?"
