Imperial Prison.
After the truth was revealed, everyone in the Empire knew that Shen Qingli was the true culprit of treason and collusion. Everyone wished to execute her! But with Yun Family blood in her belly, even those in prison dared not neglect her, arranging the best cell for her.
A single room with a dedicated bathroom, meals delivered three times a day.
It’s not as luxurious as her previous days, but the conditions are certainly not bad.
It seemed less like serving a sentence and more like being confined under house arrest.
When Shen Qingli was first imprisoned, she was still fearless, confident in the child she bore with the Yun Family. Even using the child as leverage would secure her life.
But this morning, the system dropped a bombshell—the child in her belly was not of Yun Family blood.
"How is that possible?!" Shen Qingli was in disbelief, nearly collapsing, "Didn’t you say that the elixir would most likely get me pregnant with Yun Han’s child?"
The system rolled its eyes speechlessly, "Yes, most likely. But probability isn’t something I can guarantee 100%. Unfortunately, you weren’t lucky and hit the small probability event."
Shen Qingli fell down on the bed, her face growing paler, biting her lower lip until it almost bled.
The die was cast; no matter how terrified she was, she couldn’t change the facts!
The truth about the child could never be discovered.
As she was racking her brains on how to continue the pretense, she heard chaotic footsteps outside the door.
Soon after, the door was pushed open.
Several doctors wearing white uniforms came in, carrying various sophisticated instruments.
Behind them were several tall Beastman guards, standing at the door, ensuring she couldn’t take the chance to escape.
Shen Qingli backed away in panic, "What do you want?"
Goya, wearing a mask, adjusted the glasses on his nose and spoke gently, "Please remain calm, we are sent by His Highness to perform a prenatal examination for you."
Shen Qingli’s eyes widened; a prenatal exam would reveal that the child was not of Yun Family blood!
That bastard was really setting her up!
Shen Qingli shouted angrily, "Get out! I don’t need your fake sympathy! Get out! Get out!"
She picked up the makeup mirror and other items on the table and smashed them around.
The doctors stepped back, alarmed, even the good-natured Doctor Goya was impatient.
His Highness was so kind to even arrange a prenatal examination for a traitor, but what was her attitude? Such ingratitude!
Disregarding etiquette, he called the guards to hold Shen Qingli down on the bed.
"I don’t need this, get out! You’re forcing me, violating my will!" Shen Qingli struggled desperately, but how could she alone match the strength of several strong men? She was soon pinned on the bed, unable to move.
Goya approached with the doctors and equipment, "For the safety of you and the child, please cooperate with the examination."
After much chaos, the prenatal exam was finally completed.
When the results came in.
The doctors were shocked, thinking they had misread something.
The thing in Shen Qingli’s belly...
Was not like a wolf, nor a cat.
It didn’t even seem mammalian!
How could it be oviparous?!
A doctor exclaimed in disbelief, "Could it be an error with the instrument? Should we check again?"
The doctors knew it couldn’t be wrong, and after several checks, the result remained the same.
This was definitely not the Yun Family’s child!

Yun Hong always felt proud of his son, never remarrying after losing his wife, planning to hand over the family’s wealth to Yun Han when he grew old.
