“Master, please have a seat here for a moment. The person will be brought over shortly.”

Jing Yu bowed slightly in the front hall.

Feng Tianlan nodded and took a seat, his demeanor not as calm as his appearance suggested.

After a while, Jing Yu led a young woman inside.

The woman possessed a delicate and exquisite countenance. Her eyebrows, shaped like willow leaves, framed a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water. Her petite nose and cherry-red lips added to her charm. Her slender figure was further enhanced by the graceful curves of her emerald green embroidered skirt. As she walked, her azure dress flowed like the undulating ripples of lotus leaves on water.

She appeared to be a gentle and delicate woman.

Following behind Jing Yu, she timidly glanced at Feng Tianlan and quickly lowered her gaze.

Seated in the hall, Feng Tianlan looked at the approaching woman, his heart less tranquil than his outward composure.

“Master, the person has arrived.”

Jing Yu stepped aside.

Feng Tianlan asked, “Did you give birth to a child five years ago?”

The woman nodded. “Yes.”

“Did you leave him in the dense forest?”

The woman shook her head quickly, “No, I didn’t. It wasn’t me who left him there. It was my parents… They thought I got pregnant before marriage and felt ashamed. They wanted me to get rid of the child to save their face. I couldn’t bear it, so I secretly left home and hid in the mountains. But they still found out when I was giving birth. They took the child away and said they left him in the mountains to be eaten by wild beasts. I don’t believe… I really miss my child! Lately, 1 dream of him often and couldn’t help going to the place my parents mentioned, hoping to see him… sob… sob…”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Her beautiful face was tear-streaked, her body trembling slightly. She looked pitiful, a sight that could easily soften a man’s heart.

Feng Tianlan, expressionless, asked, “Where exactly did you leave him?”

The woman provided a location, and Feng Tianlan’s gaze suddenly turned colder.

The temperature in the front hall dropped rapidly, and the oppressive aura made it difficult to breathe.

The woman’s face turned ashen in fear, “Si… Sirr…”

Feng Tianlan’s gaze was ice-cold as he scrutinized her, “Who is the child’s father?”

At his question, the woman’s body trembled intensely, a faint blush appearing amidst her paleness, “1… I don’t know his name, but he was extremely handsome… the most handsome man I’ve ever seen…”

“Ridiculous! If you don’t know his name, how could you have relations with him?” Feng Tianlan’s voice grew heavy.

Under his intense gaze, the woman’s body trembled uncontrollably, like a sieve, “It was an accident.”

Before she came, the man in black who brought her in had warned her. He told her to truthfully answer whatever his master asked, without lying. Otherwise, it would cost her and her family their lives.

Standing in front of this man, she realized that the words of the man in black weren’t exaggerated in the slightest. This man was truly terrifying.

Shivering, she recounted the incident of the accident.

In essence, five years ago, while she was collecting herbs in the suburbs, she encountered a wounded, handsome man. He had been poisoned and forcibly took advantage of her.

Afterward, she fled in panic. Unbeknownst to her, she became pregnant two months later.

The time and location she described were a perfect match!

Apart from Feng Tianlan himself, the only person who knew about that incident was that woman!

After the woman finished speaking, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

Jing Yu discreetly observed her master’s expression.

Feng Tianlan’s face showed no emotion.

However, a suffocating aura enveloped him.

Could it be that this time they had found the right person?

Could this daughter of a herbalist be the true mother of the young master?
