Chapter 140, whose is it

Mu Ru, who was in a deep sleep, was suddenly awoken by the strong light shining into her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and finally opened her heavy eyelids. Only then did she realize that there were already several people standing in front of her. One of them was sitting, and that person was Dongfang Mo.

The bright light directed on her face was from the emergency light that the security guard brought over. The temple hall was not very big, but two emergency lights could light up the entire place.

"Xi Muru, whose child are you carrying?" Dongfang Mei, as the temporary mistress, asked her. She held a copy of the Dongfang family rules in her hand and looked coldly at Mu Ru, who was curled up in the corner.

Mu Ru lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers uneasily. Whose was the child in her belly? How could she know? "Mother, what are you asking?" Dongfang Jun asked Dongfang Mei.

Dongfang Jun looked at Dongfang Mo then turned to his mother and said, "I think we should only ask Big Brother. Sister-in-Law is his wife, and she has always followed the rules."

"Ah Mo, what can you say about this?" Dongfang Mei said as she looked at Dongfang Mo. "Is the child that Mu Ru is carrying your child?"

"Aunt Gu, I can only wish it to be mine," Dongfang Mo said. "However, I am sure the heavens have not blessed me in that aspect. I am sure I couldn't have made her pregnant."

Dongfang Mei smiled smugly. She looked at Xi Muru, who was curled up in the corner. She raised her voice. "Now, Xi Muru, tell us—whose child are you carrying?"

Mu Ru remained silent in the corner. She was rendered speechless. She did not intend to keep quiet, but she really did not know what to say. She had no idea who the father was.

She was very conflicted. She wondered whether it was the long-haired devil from the wedding night or if it was Dongfang Yu.

She was starting to panic. She was trembling in fear.

"I don't know!" she answered truthfully.

"You don't know?" Dongfang Mo angrily said. He reached out to Uncle Liu, who stood beside him, and said, "Bring the whip to me. Such a brazen woman! You cheated on me! Such a woman who does not keep her chastity and violates the family's rules...I think we need to give her a few whips."

Uncle Liu's heart trembled in fear for Mu Ru. However, he obediently took the whip and handed it to Dongfang Mo.

Xi Muxue, who was standing behind the others, looked at Xi Muru. Mu Xue felt proud. However, she still resented the fact that in spite of her beauty, she was unable to secure a good position in the Dongfang family. Xi Muru, on the other hand, who was ugly and unlucky, was able to rise to the rank of family mistress.

She had always thought that Mu Ru was ugly and stupid. Mu Ru did not know anything other than reading. However, she saw Xi Muru in a new light. She was surprised that Mu Ru was able to find a man who cured her loneliness.

Unfortunately, a stupid woman who did such unforgivable deeds could not go unpunished. Mu Xue wondered why Mu Ru did not know about pills. She could have gotten to the hospital to secretly get rid of it. Mu Xue felt that Mu Ru deserved it for not thinking ahead.

"Xi Muru, I'm going to ask you one last time," Dongfang Mo said as he held the whip in his hand. "Now, tell me, whose child is it?"
