Because this shattered his understanding.

Everyone believed that the runes were drawn on paper, whether with a pen or blood, they were still drawn.

But Su Tiantian didn't draw it that way.

How did she even draw that?

Liu Yuan racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"Wh-what thing?"

For a moment, Lin the Blind Man thought he had misheard.

Liu Yuan excitedly exclaimed, "It's done! It's done! The Truth-Spitting Talisman has been formed!"

As Liu Yuan shouted excitedly, a True Word Talisman radiating white light appeared on Lu Yuanshan's forehead.

Su Tiantian also let go of his hand. She stood up, clapped her hands, and said to Lu Yuanshan in a commanding tone, "Tell me now, whose son is Lu Chen!"

Lu Yuanshan initially thought it was just a charade, but the next moment he felt his mouth start talking uncontrollably.

"Lu Chen is the biological son of Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian. He was brought to us by Master Yuanzhen himself."

As soon as Lu Yuanshan finished speaking, he became anxious.

"No, no, that's not it. I was lying just now. Lu Chen is my son... Ah—"

Before Lu Yuanshan could finish speaking, he let out a scream. In an instant, his face turned pale, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Once you put up the Truth-Telling Talisman, you can't tell lies, because every time you tell a lie, you'll feel a piercing pain in your heart."

Lin the Blind had already suppressed his shock. When he heard Lu Yuanshan scream, he explained why Lu Yuanshan was screaming.

"Lu Yuanshan, why did you switch our sons? And who is Yuan Zhen? We have no grudge against you!"

Unable to hold back her surging tears any longer, Lu Xuelian stood up and angrily questioned Lu Yuanshan.

She wanted to know the truth, she wanted to know the whole truth.

"That's all fake, all of it is fake."

Lin Xianghua shouted angrily, repeatedly giving Lu Yuanshan a wink, signaling him to bite off his own tongue.

I'd rather kill myself than say anything more.

Lu Yuanshan's expression twisted; he also wanted to fight against the power within his body, but he couldn't control his mouth.

“Because you have money and power, if we don’t exchange children, our children will only be able to toil in the fields their whole lives, and we will never be able to live such a good life.”

Lu Yuanshan's eyes were bloodshot, and he uncontrollably revealed the truth.

“But we are complete strangers. How do you know who we are? Aren’t you afraid we won’t like our daughter?”

Lu Xuelian's shoulders trembled as she wept uncontrollably.

Lu Chen reached out to help her up, and Lu Xuelian immediately burst into tears.

Zhao Zhiyuan was also heartbroken.

But upon careful recollection, he had no recollection of Lu Yuanshan or Lin Xianghua at all.

They met when Zhao Yujiao was ten years old and was almost abducted. Fortunately, she was rescued by Lin Xianghua. After getting to know each other, they felt a connection and Zhao Yujiao recognized them as her godparents.

But they are Zhao Yujiao's parents, and all of this was premeditated.

“You may not know us, but we know you. Thirty years ago, everyone knew you. When our hometown was hit by a disaster, you were soldiers who helped with the disaster relief and made great contributions. You became company commanders at a young age. Everyone was very envious of you. Your families were officials, and you were a handsome couple with great abilities. People like you who received a good education would not discriminate against girls. Some people even said that you only plan to have one child in the future.”

“At that time, I thought, it is so wonderful to be your child. You have everything from birth. If you are a son, you will have a smooth career. If you are a daughter, you will be a precious gem and will never be looked down upon.”

Lu Yuanshan couldn't control his mouth at all and blurted everything out.

"Stop talking, stop talking..."

Lin Xianghua shed helpless tears.

“Originally, we would never have crossed paths, but we were lucky. Twenty-eight years ago, when my wife was pregnant, she wanted to eat wild jujubes from the mountains. I went to pick jujubes and rescued a woman named Master Yuanzhen who had fallen and injured herself while picking herbs in the mountains. She said she could give us a treasure that would add ten years to our lives. She could give us two or make a fortune. Xianghua asked her what she was carrying, and Master Yuanzhen said it was a girl.”

"Xianghua started crying, saying that her daughter was born into her womb and had a hard life. On a whim, I said to Master Yuanzhen that we didn't want a baby that could prolong life. We just wanted to exchange our daughter for a rich and powerful family. Master Yuanzhen immediately agreed and gave us a list of families whose pregnancies were around the same stage as my wife's. We saw you two on the list at a glance, so we chose you."

Lu Yuanshan revealed the whole truth. He was numb. This was not something he could just kill himself if he wanted to; he couldn't do it.

They only gave their daughter a wealthy family because they loved her.

They would rather die than tell the truth.

But now he doesn't even have the right to die.

"Old Lu, stop talking, stop talking..."

Lin Xianghua was in tears, saying that they would die if they told the truth.

Master Yuanzhen once said that this matter is detrimental to one's virtue and is a secret that will last forever. They must take it to their coffins and never reveal it to anyone.

Now that they have broken the rules, the life-threatening situation that Master Yuanzhen spoke of will surely come to pass.

Tears also streamed down Lu Yuanshan's face. He turned to look at Lin Xianghua and Zhao Yujiao, choking back sobs as he said, "Xianghua, I can't stay with you anymore..."

"Jiaojiao, no matter how hard it is for you to accept this truth, you must know that your father and mother love you very much. You must take good care of your mother. We are not short of money now, and our family can be reunited and live a happy life."

Now that we've come this far, there's nothing to dwell on. We already have a lot of money at home.

"It's all fake, it's all fake, you're not my parents!"

Zhao Yujiao screamed and roared.

The Qin family only agreed to marry him because they valued the Zhao family's power. Qin Chuan is very materialistic; if she weren't Zhao Zhiyuan's daughter, he would never have married her.

Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua's business is only a small amount of money. They are looked down upon by the wealthy and considered nouveau riche. If she returns to the Lu family, she will soon disappear from the upper echelons of society.

She can recognize them as her godparents, but she can never be their real daughter.

Lu Yuanshan's eyes filled with sorrow as he listened to Zhao Yujiao's denial.

They usually doted on Zhao Yujiao. Zhao Yujiao always said that she wished they were her biological parents. But now that the truth has been revealed, they are her biological parents, but she disdains them and refuses to acknowledge it.

"You deserve retribution for what you've done; may you be struck by lightning!"

Lu Xuelian cried until her tears dried up. Lu Yuanshan's few words contained the pain of their entire lives.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I admit I was wrong."

Su Tiantian shook her head and spoke.

Everyone looked at Su Tiantian nervously. What did she do wrong?

Su Tiantian looked at Lu Yuanshan with a sympathetic expression: "You've mistaken her for someone else. That's not your daughter. She's not your daughter."

Zhao Yujiao is not the daughter of Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua.
