"Ahhh."

"Let me go!"

“My birth mother is someone else. My birth mother is here. I know who my birth mother is!”

He finished speaking.

The Marquis of Zhenbei suddenly widened his eyes, his murderous gaze fixed on Lin Shixuan.

Zou Shuang'er was so nervous that she was on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing this, the woman cried and said:

"You unfilial son."

"Besides me, is there anyone else here who was born in the 48th year of the Tianyuan era?"

“You are my son, that is an unchangeable fact. Unless you have evidence, even if His Majesty comes, I will take you away.”

...

Lin Shixuan gritted his teeth and said resolutely:

"She is my biological mother—"

Then, he slowly pointed his hand towards Zou Shuang'er.

Zou Shuang'er bit her lip tightly and took a few steps back.

She never expected that someone would come to her door looking for her relatives.

As soon as he finished speaking...

The entire place was eerily quiet.

Immediately, everyone began to whisper among themselves.

"Oh my god, this is terrifying."

"The child that Madam Lin raised for over ten years, is it from a mistress? Could it really be true?"

"Lin Shixuan is fifteen years old this year, and Lin Rui'an is fourteen. So, they were already having an affair when they got married?"

"Then what about Madam Lin? Was she a marriage fraudster?"

Shh, listen.

Ye Lanyin was dazed, but fortunately Hua Xin was there to support her.

"What...what did you say?"

"Say it again?"

Lin Shixuan was breathing rapidly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. "My...my birth mother is Zou Shuang'er."

"It's not this lowly person's child!" He practically roared those words.

"Mother, you can't give me back to this lowly woman. My son isn't her child."

Upon hearing this, the woman in tattered clothes stepped forward again and grabbed Lin Shixuan's clothes.

"Son, how could you possibly be that person's child?"

“You are clearly my son, the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to.”

Lin Shixuan suppressed his inner rage with all his might, "No, it's her!"

The woman said, "No, I've been searching for so many years to find this place. What proof do you have that you are his son?"

Lin Shixuan clenched his fists, as if he were going all out: "If you don't believe me, you can do a blood test to prove kinship."

The Marquis of Zhenbei shouted, "Shixuan, what are you doing?"

"I've only known Shuang'er for a few years, how could she be your biological mother?" He glanced at Ye Lanyin out of the corner of his eye.

This matter must absolutely not be discovered.

Otherwise, it's all over.

Ye Lanyin, her face pale, spoke softly, "My lord, there's no smoke without fire. Hua Mei, go prepare water!"

Hua Mei bowed and said, "Yes."

Then, the child was handed over to Ye's second aunt, whose face was ashen.

Marquis Zhenbei tried to stop him, but General Yao held him back firmly.

Soon, Hua Mei brought over a bowl of clean water, and Lin Shixuan bit his finger and dripped the water into the bowl without saying a word.

A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Lanyin's eyes.

"Zou Shuang'er, it's your turn."

Seeing this, Zou Shuang'er took several steps back, shaking her head and saying, "No, don't..."

"Mother!" Lin Shixuan roared, "You always said you loved your son the most."

"Now that your son has been taken away and will soon become someone else's child, why don't you acknowledge him as your son?"

These words, like a bomb, exploded in everyone's minds.

Explode!

That's absolutely amazing!

What else has the Marquis of Zhenbei not done?

Seeing this, Madam Sheng rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Zou Shuang'er.

When Zou Shuang'er saw Madam Sheng coming to arrest her, she was so frightened that she tried to run away.

But Madam Sheng grabbed her hair tightly. "Trying to escape? Come on, let's do a blood test to prove your kinship! How dare you bully Lan Yin!"

"No, no, let me go, let me go!"

Zou Shuang'er struggled desperately, trying to escape again.

Marquis Zhenbei closed his eyes; he had been discovered after all.

Madam Sheng then grabbed Zou Shuang'er's hand and placed it on the bowl, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and stabbed it viciously into her finger.

"Ah—" Zou Shuang'er cried out in pain.

The bright red blood fell into the bowl, instantly creating a mesmerizing halo in the water.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently, an indescribable tension and anticipation filling the air. Even Ye Lanyin, who knew the situation, pursed her lips tightly.

When he saw the two drops of blood slowly approaching each other, Lin Shixuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Zou Shuang'er slumped to one side like a deflated balloon.

Ye Lanyin swayed precariously.

"Madam." Hua Xin supported Ye Lanyin, who was on the verge of fainting.

Ye Lanyin's face turned pale, completely unable to accept it. "That year at the Lake of Marriage, you promised me a lifetime of love and devotion."

"The year we got married, you said His Majesty wanted you to go to Luochuan County, and I took care of the Marquis's mansion for you without saying a word. I never expected that you would set up a home outside behind my back."

"The adopted son I raised with such care for fourteen years is actually Zou Shuang'er's child." Ye Lanyin cried so hard she could hardly breathe, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Turns out, I was the biggest fool!"

"Lin Dehong, how could you do this to me?" Ye Lanyin questioned him so loudly for the first time, tears streaming down her face like a kite with a broken string.

The Marquis of Zhenbei panicked. He looked nervous, as if he had a thousand words to say, yet he still appeared deeply affectionate.

"Madam, please listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Ye Lanyin dodged his touch.

Madam Sheng rushed to Ye Lanyin's side to comfort her, fearing that she would be too heartbroken.

"Lanyin, don't be sad, don't be sad."

“Marquis of Zhenbei, I never expected that Lanyin was so devoted to you, yet you schemed against her for over ten years, and even your child is older than Lanyin’s.”
