Chapter 15 – My son Song Fan has the grace of Heaven and Human
[September 22nd, you wake up and head to the courtyard, only to find a familiar face sitting by the stone table.]
[It's Song Fan.]
[This surprises both you and Lin Qiushui.]
[The moment Song Fan sees you, his gaze is incredibly complex, filled with anger, gratitude, and conflict... You feel a bit guilty and turn your head away.]
[The atmosphere gradually becomes tense.]
[But Lin Qiushui takes the initiative, linking her arm with yours and openly introducing your relationship to Song Fan.]
[Song Fan's expression becomes even more complicated.]
[In fact, he had vaguely overheard earlier.]
[He understands that your feelings for each other are mutual, with no one forcing the other.]
[Song Fan remains silent for a long time, then explains his purpose for coming. He says he has just returned from training, successfully refining Silver Bones, and has specifically asked Madam Lin for permission to take his mother to live elsewhere.]
[Hearing that Song Fan has refined Silver Bones, you are overjoyed and about to say something, but Lin Qiushui shakes her head, indicating she won't go anywhere and wants to stay with you.]
[Upon hearing this, you feel a bit moved, even though you had already guessed this outcome.]
[Song Fan falls into deeper silence.]
[Lin Qiushui signals for you to return to the room, as she wishes to speak with Song Fan alone.]
[.......]
[Half an hour later, Lin Qiushui comes inside, saying that Song Fan has left.]
[You can't help but feel a bit regretful.]
[In truth, you wanted to probe Song Fan to see if he had any golden fingers like an Old Grandpa, and perhaps share information about that mysterious mountain in the Liangzhou Borderlands. After all, as a Child of Fortune, he will go there in four years and might find some opportunity to help him refine higher-grade Golden Bones. With such potential, Song Fan, possessing the talent of Heaven and Human, could protect both you and Lin Qiushui.]

[After all, the Song Family Elders.]
[Only suspect that the Heaven-Grasping Vase is in your possession.]
[And even that suspicion isn't very strong. Ultimately, you're just a small figure, and the likelihood of hiding something under the noses of Lin Manqing and the Song Family Elders is quite low.]
[However, this doesn't stop them from wanting to perform a Soul Search on you.]
[Many times, being weak means that just being suspected is enough to warrant death. The Song family giving you a three-day grace period might be due to Song Fan's influence; otherwise, they would have acted long ago, without any discussion, just like in history.]
[Lin Qiushui, seeing your troubled expression, gently comforts you, saying she has convinced Song Fan to become the protector of Seventh Madam's daughter, Song Qingwei.]
[You immediately feel relieved.]
[Now that Song Fan has refined Silver Bones, he already possesses innate talent. Coupled with his role in helping Song Qingwei win the True Dragon Selection in three years, this connection ensures that even if you are subjected to a Soul Search and the lie about the Heaven-Grasping Vase is exposed, Lin Manqing will spare you for Song Fan's sake, considering you are Song Fan's stepfather.]
[......]
[September 24th, three days pass quickly, and the Song family does not come to trouble you as expected. You realize this might be due to Song Fan.]
[In the following days, everything remains calm and uneventful.]
[October 5th, you hear news that Song Fan, in the Alpha Battalion Tournament, secured ninth place, earning the opportunity to cultivate in the Song Family Spirit Pool. The old maid tells you that the Spirit Pool is a treasure of the Song family, opened to outsiders only once every three years. It can elevate a cultivator's bone quality, possessing the power to defy nature. Only those who rank in the top ten of the Alpha Battalion Tournament are eligible to use it. These Spirit Pool spots have historically been dominated by the Song family's direct descendants. Song Fan is the first dark horse in nearly a hundred years to emerge from a remote branch, even earning praise from the elders for having the potential of Heaven and Human.]
[What's more terrifying is that Song Fan has only been cultivating for ten months.]
[You can't help but marvel at the Child of Fortune's defiance of the heavens.]
[At the same time, you secretly feel fortunate for investing in Song Fan early on; otherwise, you might have become a fish on the chopping block.]
[In the following days, the Song Family Elders question you about the Heaven-Grasping Vase. You firmly insist that Elder Wang took it and express your willingness to undergo a Soul Search to prove your innocence, but only if they start with Elder Wang.]
[Your resolute attitude makes the Song Family Elders take notice, and they begin to suspect whether Elder Wang might have fabricated his testimony.]
[October 15th, Song Fan returns from cultivating in the Spirit Pool, his bone quality advancing to Mid-Grade Silver Bones.]
[November 1st, Song Fan follows Song Qingwei to the Spirit Sword Sect for cultivation. Before leaving, he entrusts a letter to you. The letter is long, filled with thousands of words, and his tone is one of gritted teeth. After reading it, you summarize it in three words: "Take good care."]
[December 9th, through these days of getting to know each other better, you discover a hidden trait of Lin Qiushui. Despite her elegant demeanor and her background in a bureaucratic family, she surprisingly likes men who are a bit more violent.]
[A year later.]
[...... During the days of confinement, you persistently practice for six hours every day.]
[It's not that you love practicing.]
[But your kidneys are starting to ache faintly.]
[There's no such thing as overworked land, only exhausted oxen.]
[Now, you understand this saying even more deeply.]
[Year 1, March 2nd, despite your persistent practice, you remain stuck in the Late Bone Refining Stage. To your embarrassment, Lin Qiushui reached the Perfected Bone Refining Stage two months ago. You realize her talent might not be simple and ask her what kind of bones she has refined. She says it's just Iron Bones and laughs, saying her ambition isn't in cultivation; she just wants to stay with you and have a child or two.]
[Hearing this, you abandon your newly formed Beloved Wife Development Plan.]
[Year 1, May 4th, Lin Qiushui frequently experiences nausea, leading you to suspect something...]
[That day, after a doctor's diagnosis, it's confirmed that she is two months pregnant. Upon learning the result, your feelings are very complex. You actually don't want a child, as you can barely protect yourself, let alone provide a stable environment for a child to grow up in. You regret not realizing how unreliable the contraceptive methods in this fantasy world are; otherwise, you wouldn't have stayed in it.]
[Lin Qiushui, upon learning she is pregnant, is very happy because ever since you two got together, she has often mentioned wanting a child.]
