Song Qinghan paused, pretending to be quite surprised, “Who are you…?”

Suddenly, the pregnant femina man with a delicate appearance kneed down in front of Song Qinghan, sobbing while covering his face, “Mistress, the baby I carry in my belly belongs to Lord Wu, please, for the sake of the child, let me in…”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Oh, really? Should I just believe you so by your self-proclaimed words? Who knows whether you’re lying or not?”

Hearing that, the good-looking femina man pulled out a handkerchief from his side sleeve and used it to tap slightly around the corner of his eyes, and raised head, saying with pair of watery eyes, “I don’t blame you of not believing that, but as long as Lord Wu gets a chance to see me, he will know it. Please, Mistress, for the sake that I took a long journey from the state capital to here, just let me in for grabbing a good rest.”

Song Qinghan didn’t permit nor did he reject, he just sized up the femina man outside the gate from head to toe for a brief moment and then answered slowly, “How come you are that kind of confident over the matter that I will accommodate you? Don’t you worry that I will murder you secretly and hide things up, pretending that you never come here?”

The good-looking femina man paused while his expression revealed a hint of timidity, and then he answered hesitantly, “I know the fact that Mistress is a doctor, and you’ve got a heart of compassion. If you’re not going to accommodate me and the child in my belly, no one in the world will…”

Noticing that Song Qinghan was showing a face of dubiousness, he hurried to fan the flame, “Or if you don’t intend to do so, probably you can leave my child here. Hmmm, at least it’s the offspring of Lord Wu, they have a blood tie…”

Well, if he was right now talking to the other person except Song Qinghan, probably he would have been invited into the house and treated well. But Song Qinghan wasn’t the others, so what he thought was completely differed from the very traditional conception. For one thing, he knew exactly that this was indeed a trap. For the other, he was a man who was always brave to challenge the tradition. Thus, after the good-looking femina man finished his words, Song Qinghan responded without any hesitation.

“So what? It’s not a child who gets a blood tie with me, why should I keep him?”

The femina man with attractive appearance looked at Song Qinghan dumbfounded, at the moment he became rather speechless without words, as if he had never expected that Song Qinghan would express something which violated the customs.

Noticing that Song Qinghan was about to shut the door mercilessly, the good-looking femina man collapsed suddenly and then started bawling as if he got insane all of a sudden.

“Mistress, please spare the child’s life! At least let me see Lord Wu for a glance, I don’t believe that he is such a callous man who will leave his own child alone…”

Even though the passers-by who passed the house were not that much, anyone who heard the big noise couldn’t help but pause and stay, intending to watch a great show. Upon hearing the shout from the femina man, some of them commenced judging Song Qinghan, whispering.

“How can he be so cruel? At least the child is his husband’s offspring, he must be a demon trying to cover things up and get the child murdered.”

“That’s right, how vicious he is not letting this pitiful man greet the child’s father. I really wonder how wrathful his husband will be if everything exposes.”

“Tsk, his appearance doesn’t match his heart. Good-looking but dark inside.”

“…”

Song Qinghan turned his head motioning Hualian to bring him a stool. And then he placed the stool casually outside the gate and delivered a wry smile to the femina man outside, “Don’t you want to see Wu Dahu? Then wait for him here, and let’s find out if he ‘recognize’ you or not.”

After that, he shut the door abruptly without even wanting to see what the expression was right on the femina man’s face.

But after the door shut, he didn’t hurry to leave but frowned tight suddenly standing there, with impatience flowing in his eyes.

It seemed that the femina man was rather tricky knowing how to manipulate the folks’ judgments and compassions. He even knew selecting some people from disadvantaged groups to be his witnesses. And at the time the matter was escalating, people would tend to show their sympathies to the ones who seemed to possess a weak situation.

He didn’t even got a time to move a step and then a noisy uproar sounded outside.

“He is fainted, someone helps!”

“Open the door, open the door, let him in and get a rest!”

“Alas, pitiful one, he should be having quite a hard period now since he is pregnant…”

“…”

Song Qinghan opened the door again and stared at the femina man who was circled by the crowd. Things seemed to happen as he expected, yet he still remained his calmness on face, “Guys, please send him to the hospital mansion, I will pay for that.”

Those people exchanged glances, as if all of them were dithering.

And then it was someone among them took the initiative to speak, “It can be told from his tone that he is just too tired due to the long journey. Just let him in and rest, no need for the hospital mansion.”

Noticing that there were several people echoing among the crowd, Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows and said, “Since you guys are so generous, I would recommend that you take him to your home. Anyway, we are all neighbors, not that far away.”

Hearing that, the person who spoke just then spoke again in a condemning tone, “He is not carrying our child, why should I accommodate him in my house? Well, you should be quite pleasant now venting your wrath on this pitiful man. I wonder how your husband will treat you after he comes back.”

“That’s right, we remind you of that out of our kindness because you’re still young and know nothing. I hope you won’t take our words just as the wind blown in the ears…”

Song Qinghan laughed out of anger, he hugged his arms and then responded calmly, “I didn’t take your words as the wind blown in the ears, BUT, have you guys ever heard a saying ‘Do bad things with good intentions’? Have you ever once thought of a scenario that if this guy gets insane suddenly and murders all my family members if I let him in? What if he isn’t satisfied with that murder and visit you and get you all killed?”

“Hmmm…” people exchanged glances again, and one of them spoke, “He is just a pregnant femina man with a faint power, he can’t even kill a chicken himself. How is that possible for him to make that murder real?”

Song Qinghan still remained his calmness on face, while he even let out a sense of being a teaching lecturing his students, he laughed slightly and said, “Who ever told you that killing people requires physical strength? Should it be that the pack of powder too heavy to carry? Or it requires a great strength to open the powder pack?”

Noticing that Song Qinghan was such an eloquent talker who was capable of retorting with a silver tongue, those people was completely defeated logically and verbally. What they could do currently was just nodding and giving this idea up. Several men among the crowd took the initiative to carry the good-looking femina man up and were ready to bring him to the nearby hospital mansion.

Beyond their expectations, just at the moment they were about to lift the femina man up. The femina man moaned faintly and turned his head to look at the folks with a seemingly confusing expression, and then he uttered gently, “What’s wrong? Did Lord Wu come back? My child, my child…”

Eyeing that the good-looking man was covering his belly meticulously, those men couldn’t help but sigh, and came to inform the femina man about the fact that he fainted.

When the good-looking femina man was informed that Song Qinghan obstructed by all means, he didn’t react wrathfully, but instead asked considerately, “Mistress is completely right, since he can’t still get a confirmation on my identity, it’s quite normal for him to have such a reaction. Anyway, I will stay here outside and wait for Lord Wu to come back.”

Seeing that the femina man was being so sensible, passers-by looked at him with more sympathy. Someone even took the initiative to advise, “I will go back home now and get you some servants of mine to take care of you, in case that no one will know your condition if your situation gets worse.”

Song Qinghan knew that the person’s gaze was fixing at him when he said this, but since he was tough in attitude, he naturally had to be tough till the end, or he would make things unreal.

After these people left, he closed the door directly and found that the femina man was still lingering outside the gate after a long while. Finally, he could detect something wrong with that.
