Chapter 89 Yun Ji stood on Su Rui's side

Bone dripping to identify relatives?

No one had ever heard of this before, and they all started discussing how to verify it.

"How to verify?" Changning asked.

"You just need to take the bones of your immediate family members and drip their blood on them. If the blood seeps into the bones, it proves that they are relatives. If not, then there is no blood relationship." The imperial physician told the truth.

Before he could even finish his words, Chang Ning's murderous eyes had already swept over Zhou Yao, and he ordered, "Cut off her hand and take out her bones."

The palace soldier immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Yao's right hand, pulled it up, and drew his sword to chop him.

Zhou Yao was so frightened that she forgot to cover herself and frantically shouted to Liang: "Mother! Mother! Save me! I don't want my hand to be cut off!"

"Princess! The matter is still undecided. Cutting off someone's arm is too cruel." Liang shouted anxiously.

Changning ignored him and just signaled the palace soldiers to take action.

"My Lord!" Liang turned to Marquis Yong'an for help.

Marquis Yong'an also looked helpless.

What happened five years ago was an unforgivable stain on Chang Ning, which was why he had been holding on to Su Rui all these years. Even though Su Rui had become the lowest military slave, he still wanted to kill her.

Now that she knew she had been deceived for five years and the child was already this grown up, she was furious and could not calm down at all.

What's more, now there are bandits involved. If we don't get to the bottom of it, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion will be implicated and may even be destroyed overnight.

So, Zhou Yao can only suffer.

Looking at Su Ye again, he didn't respond at all.

Now he just wants to know who was the liar five years ago.

Seeing that it was too late to save the situation and Liang didn't know how to save Zhou Yao, Su Rui spoke.

"Just cutting off my cousin's hand would only prove whether the child is hers. Besides, fresh bones are already bloody, so it's hard to tell."

What Su Rui said made sense, but everyone was puzzled.

Why did she still help Zhou Yao?

A hint of surprise flashed across the eldest prince's eyes, but it soon turned into a smile.

"Didn't the imperial physician say that immediate relatives would be enough? Then why not take the remains of a close relative? I think it will have the same effect." Su Rui looked at the imperial physician and asked.

"Within three generations, it's all right," the imperial physician replied.

"Three generations? Old Master Chen has been dead for exactly three years. My cousin's direct descendants..." Su Rui looked at Liang and smiled, "My aunt's aunt is just the right person."

Looking at Su Rui's sarcastic smile, Liang's scalp tingled.

Her aunt had been dead for many years, yet Su Rui still wanted to dig her out!

What's more, the aunt's current grave was thanks to her marriage to the Yong'an Marquis as his second wife, which made that selfish old man willing to force the old hag to move his aunt to the ancestral tomb as a concubine.

Now the old thing is half buried in the ground, and the old hag is in charge. Can her aunt's bones be dug out and buried again?

Su Rui was forcing her to choose between her biological mother and her biological daughter. How vicious!

But she had no other way to go.

"Digging up our ancestors' graves is a bit against the principles of heaven and filial piety, isn't it?"

"It's about deceiving the emperor and collaborating with bandits, and yet you still care about these things? Will Princess Changning give up if she doesn't get to the bottom of this today?"

"It's really hard to choose. If I choose a dead person, it would be unfilial. If I choose a living person, I would have to chop off one of his hands to prove my innocence, but it would also make him useless in the future."

The voices of discussion came like torrents, blowing this to the top.

Su Rui listened leisurely and was not in a hurry for Liang to make a decision. After all, there were people who were anxious.

Changning's patience has run out.

"Mr. Yunji is here!"

Just as Changning was about to give an order, someone exclaimed.

Yunji?

Not to mention others, even Su Rui was shocked.

Why is he here?

Isn't it because of her strong will that she is demystified?

She had never thought that he would come, so she didn't go looking for him at all. She thought that after finishing this matter, she would go back and concentrate on teasing him.

Finally, he came by himself.

Is he here to hinder her?

Do you think she is stubborn and too cruel?

Su Rui looked out uneasily, and the crowd automatically moved aside. Yun Ji, dressed in a gray-blue robe, walked out from the corridor.

He is noble and above the world, naturally isolated from this mundane world.

His eyes pierced through, as if he was looking at Su Rui, but also as if he was not looking at anyone else.

Liang Shi did not miss the surprise and worry that flashed across Su Rui's face when she heard that Yun Ji was coming.

Looking at the eldest prince sitting next to her, she guessed about the actions between the two today and quickly let go of Marquis Yong'an's hand. Before anyone could react, she quickly walked towards Yun Ji.

"Mr. Yunji, you've arrived just in time. You're a cultivator and a very understanding person. I have no choice but to ask for your help in this difficult situation."

Su Rui was distracted for a moment and forgot how powerful Liang was.

Now that the words had been spoken, she could not interrupt. She could only stand up, look at Yun Ji, and wait for his answer.

"Madam Hou, you are too kind. I have not yet become a monk and have not yet obtained Buddhist teachings, so I am not worthy of such a position. However, if you have any difficulties, you can just speak frankly." Yun Ji was no different from usual.

He is still that noble person who is compassionate to the world and believes that all things are equal.

Liang Shiru grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately told the story of the wolf cub and Su Rui's request to dig up the grave to verify their relationship.

"Mr. Yunji, you are so compassionate. This matter is like choosing between cutting out one's heart and cutting off one's arm. It is difficult to choose between being unfilial and unkind. Moreover, this matter is not set in stone, but only a suspicion."

As she spoke, Liang's tears began to fall, and she knelt down miserably and helplessly.

Yun Ji quickly stretched out his hand and blocked Liang's arm with the back of his hand.

In an instant, Su Rui's heart was in her throat.

The people of Da Zhao believe in Buddhism. Even though Yun Ji has not become a monk, he has been practicing asceticism for many years. His words can change so much.

If he asserted today that this was inhumane, then even Changning would not be able to request the bone-dripping test to determine paternity.

Without solid evidence, Zhou Yao could not be crushed to death, and all her planning for so long would be in vain.

She clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, staring at Yun Ji's lips with her eyes, cursing him in her heart for being so heartless, unfeeling, and inhumane in his Buddhist practice.

Feeling Su Rui's gaze, Yun Ji raised his eyes and met hers, his tone still calm as he said, "Madam Hou, please stand up. This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make any rash judgments. However, when a person dies, their soul disappears, and they have already ascended to paradise. Living in the present is the way of heaven and earth. If our ancestors can preserve their good reputation for the sake of their descendants, it is also a great protection."

Liang, who was halfway up, suddenly froze, unable to believe what she heard.

Yun Ji meant... to let her choose to dig the grave?

In such a disrespectful matter, he actually stood on Su Rui's side?

Everyone was stunned.

After all, most of the people who practiced in Yunji had the same guess as Liang. At the very least, it was that Zhou Yao had a broken arm, but the result was actually grave digging.

Su Rui had mentioned digging graves, and that was what she wanted. Yun Ji actually agreed to dig up the bones of the ancestors...

This is too magical.

But Yun Ji seemed to be completely oblivious to those looks of astonishment and suspicion. He walked straight towards Su Rui and sat on the chair she had originally sat on, sitting parallel to the eldest prince, like two huge mountains standing behind Su Rui.

But looking at them, I vaguely felt that there was something strange and strange in the atmosphere between the uncle and nephew.
