"Zhang Xiaoli, what other secrets are you hiding from me?"

Just as his wife Xiaoli hesitated, Shen Yang roared with questioning.

His wife Xiaoli gave him a sidelong glance, ignoring him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After pondering for a moment, she looked at Lu Heng in the livestream and said softly, "It would be best if you, Taoist Master, revealed the truth!"

"Otherwise, he won’t believe it!"

The viewers, unaware of the details, naturally found the conversation baffling.

"Old Taoist, what kind of mystery are you weaving now?"

"Exactly, don’t turn into one of those enigmatic people on the internet!"

"What kind of secret could cause the situation to be unlike what Brother Shen imagined?"

"Did Sister-in-law not cheat?"

"Impossible, right? If Sister-in-law didn’t cheat, she would have directly confronted Brother Shen just now!"

"I see, Brother Shen must be under his wife’s thumb! And if Sister-in-law were wrongly accused, there would definitely be domestic violence!"

"It’s baffling! Sister-in-law did not cheat, yet the child isn’t Brother Shen’s!"

"Damn, I feel like my brain isn’t enough for this."

"How did this child come about?"

"I got it, the child is the Immortal’s! Back in the day, there were stories, like the ancestors of the Shang Tribe, where it was said his mother found a swallow egg while bathing, ate it, and then got pregnant."

"Brilliant! This explains why Sister-in-law didn’t cheat and why the child isn’t Brother Shen’s."

"Not to be rude, but with this explanation, do you take us all for fools?"

"It may not necessarily be teasing, given the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, anything unusual could happen."

"This is just nonsense, isn’t it?"

"I bet the child might have been swapped!"

"Wow, honestly, this could be the case! I remember Mr. Monkey from our livestream swapped his child with his wife’s by mistake."

"But Sister-in-law knows this secret! Since she knows the switch happened, why didn’t she reclaim her original child?"

"Right, knowing there was a swap, why keep raising the switched child for so many years?"

As they thought more, the viewers felt more puzzled.

They discussed back and forth for a long time but couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Lu Heng habitually coughed lightly, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Given that’s the case, let me, the old Taoist, speak!"

He said as his gaze shifted to Shen Yang, and he slowly began: "Young Friend Shen, you were misguided by the viewers in the livestream room."

"Actually, your wife didn’t cheat on you, nor did she give you a cuckold!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yang was instantly stunned.

He turned his head, looking at his wife in disbelief.

"What... what exactly is going on here?"

He was completely bewildered.

"Old Taoist, didn’t you just say that the daughter isn’t mine?"

"Since the daughter isn’t mine, how could my wife not have cheated?"

With countless questions troubling his heart, Shen Yang couldn’t help but ask.

"Ha Ha!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng laughed softly and said, "This issue needs to be explained starting from a few years ago!"

"Do you know that your wife has a best friend named ’Pang Ying’?"

Hearing this name, Shen Yang nodded without hesitation.

"I know Pang Ying, she’s my wife’s very close friend."

"They even got pregnant together."

"Later, my wife gave birth to a daughter, and Pang Ying had a boy."

"They even arranged a betrothal for the kids, promising they would marry when grown..."

With no hesitation, Shen Yang explained Pang Ying’s situation concerning their family.

"The key issue lies with Pang Ying!"

Lu Heng said gravely.

"Pang Ying... What does she have to do with this?"

Shen Yang frowned tightly, full of confusion.

Lu Heng explained slowly and steadily: "Your wife and Pang Ying were pregnant simultaneously and gave birth together."

"But you didn’t know... your wife actually gave birth to a boy!"

"And Pang Ying gave birth to a girl!"

Though slow on the uptake, Shen Yang eventually grasped the situation, understanding Lu Heng’s implication.

"Gasp..."

He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, exclaiming in shock: "Old Taoist, you mean..."

"My daughter is not my child, but instead, Pang Ying’s?"

"And Pang Ying’s son is actually my child?"

"Correct!"

Lu Heng nodded gently, continuing: "Since you’re aware of Pang Ying’s circumstances, you should know she married a wealthy man."

"Yes, yes, I know this well!"

Shen Yang nodded repeatedly.

Lu Heng continued: "But maybe you’re unaware that Pang Ying started out as a mistress!"

"Pang Ying’s husband was once her patron."

"This patron is worth billions, but he only had a daughter with his original wife."

"Unwillingly, he couldn’t accept that so much wealth wouldn’t be inherited by a son."

"Thus, he secretly sought many women, hoping to have a son..."

Pausing briefly, he chuckled and said: "But it’s ironic that what you desire most often eludes you."

"That patron had three daughters outside but never a son."

"Understanding his objective, Pang Ying used every possible means, finally getting pregnant."

"But amusingly, she bore a daughter!"

"Luckily for Pang Ying, her close friend Zhang Xiaoli was pregnant with a son..."

Without needing more explanation, Shen Yang understood what happened.

Looking at his wife, he said in disbelief: "You swapped our children?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaoli nodded slightly, speaking muffledly: "Xiao Ying begged me earnestly, kneeling on the ground."

"Facing such impassioned pleading from a friend of twenty-some years, how could I resist her begging?"

"So... so you swapped my child?"

Shen Yang said through gritted teeth.

He couldn’t fathom his wife exchanging their flesh and blood for someone else’s!

Though he wasn’t traditional with a son preference, the swapped child was his own flesh and blood!

Most despairing and enraging was that he’d been kept in the dark the whole time.

Had it not been for the daughter’s kidnapping, he might never have known this secret!

Lu Heng continued narrating: "Before their delivery, Zhang Xiaoqi came to visit his sister."

"Outside the hospital room, he heard their conversation clearly..."
