yes!

Shen Ruyi looks like his elder sister-in-law and also like her mother!

But Shen Jiaojiao...

No, Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Ruyi are twins. How could this pair of twins look so different?

Shen Cangyun couldn't help but glance in the direction of Jiaoyang Pavilion, and quickly pulled Shen Yu away, and asked in a low voice: "Dad wants to ask you something, do you think Jiaojiao looks like my daughter?"

"What does he look like?"

Shen Yu was stunned. "Why would Dad suddenly ask this question? Jiaojiao and Ruyi are twins."

"Just tell me your conclusion first." Shen Cangyun's heart beat faster. Shen Jiaojiao is Shen Ruyi's twin sister. That's what Shen Jiaojiao said herself. Hasn't it been verified?

The only witness was the midwife who delivered the baby.

Shen Yu pondered it carefully. "As for her appearance, she is definitely not similar to anyone in our family. Her facial features are relatively soft and her face is small. She looks more like a beautiful girl from a Jiangnan family. As for Ruyi..."

"Although she is petite, she has a majestic appearance, which is completely different from Jiaojiao... But, is it possible that twins can also be different?"

Shen Yu looked at Shen Cangyun, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

Shen Cangyun frowned and said, "How about this, you ask someone to find the midwife, and then find some time to let Jiaojiao draw blood, and try the blood test. I don't think it's right, what if she and Ruyi are both the daughters of the old beggar?"

"Isn't this possible?"

Shen Yu was stunned. "If Jiaojiao is also the daughter of the old beggar, and the old beggar knows so much about the details of Niangsheng Ruyi, then he must know that Jiaojiao is his daughter. Shouldn't he protect Jiaojiao as well?"

"But obviously not. He is only nice to Ruyi."

According to this, we can't say that Shen Ruyi is the daughter of an old beggar, right?

If that were the case, Shen Jiaojiao would no longer be a daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, her mother died after giving birth to Ruyi. Unless Shen Jiaojiao was Shen Ruyi's twin sister, it would be impossible for the Shen family to have another daughter.

Shen Cangyun also felt something was wrong.

"You have a point."

Logically speaking: such an outrageous accident would not happen.

But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy today, so he said, "No matter what, you should find the midwife as soon as possible. Also, look for Cuiyu who was driven away. I have something else to ask."

"besides……"

He thought for a moment and said, "I need to verify the identities of both of them before I can feel at ease."

"How about this, the second brother is gone now, you find another useful imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to preside over this matter, and say... using the blood of relatives as a medicine inducer may be able to cure Jiaojiao's stomach disease, and ask Ruyi to come and get blood as well."

Shen Yu felt that this arrangement was outrageous.

But looking at Shen Cangyun's solemn face, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow."

It just so happens that he also needs to enter the palace.

After all, taking too long a leave of absence can easily arouse suspicion.

Shen Yu went to do this early the next morning.

Shen Ruyi knew nothing about this, because ever since Shen Jiaojiao came, all the servants in the mansion had been bribed by Shen Jiaojiao, and no one would inform her even if there was any disturbance.

She got up to practice sword-fighting before daybreak.

But Shen Jiaojiao was different. Relying on the favor of Shen Cangyun, Shen Yu and others, she accumulated a large amount of money in a short period of time. She had no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry. With repeated rewards, she had her own spies not only in the houses of several young masters of the Shen family, but also in Shen Cangyun's side.

Early in the morning, Mother Yuan sneaked into Jiaoyang Pavilion and hurriedly said, "Second Miss, something happened!"

Shen Jiaojiao had a stomachache and didn't sleep in the middle of the night. When she heard this, she thought about Shen Cangyun's tentative words last night and asked immediately, "What's wrong? Does Daddy suspect that I'm not his biological child?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. "If I had known this would happen, I would rather die outside than be stabbed like this by my loved ones..."

Mother Yuan took her money and seeing how sad she was, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Second Miss, don't say that. It's because too many things have happened recently that the master is suspicious. I believe you must be the second lady of the Shen family."

"Besides, you are such a good person, you should stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and enjoy your life. If you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely help you."

Shen Jiaojiao was delighted.

But he still said cautiously: "How can I help you with this kind of thing? Daddy will definitely arrange a blood test to identify your relatives. But there is one thing you don't know, this blood test is not accurate!"

"In our village before, a paralyzed woman gave birth to a child. When she was doing the blood test to identify her relationship with her husband, the child did not mix with her blood. The husband was furious and wanted to kill her. As a result, her blood fell into the basin and could not mix with the child's."

"Even if it's the biological mother, the blood may not mix."

"Besides, it's with my father."

As she spoke, she covered her face and cried, "If my blood cannot be mixed with my father's during the blood test, wouldn't that be a capital crime? Daddy will definitely not let me go."

"In that case, I might as well leave now."

As he said this, he got out of bed and put on his shoes.

Mother Yuan was shocked when she heard this. "Is it true that the blood of her own daughter is incompatible with that of her mother?"

"That's not true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Shen Jiaojiao sobbed, "Besides, if you don't believe it, we can give it a try. In fact, even if people are not related by blood, their blood may mix."

"You mean, your blood and that of this slave can possibly mix?"

Mother Yuan was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "If you don't believe it, ask the maids at the door to come in together, and you will know after trying it."

Mother Yuan was skeptical and came in with a basin of water.

She called in a few more maids and tried it with Shen Jiaojiao. After that, they were so shocked that their eyes widened, "Oh my God, how can the blood of this slave blend with Miss Qiu Shuang's?"

Shen Jiaojiao relaxed a little, "Yeah, you can't say Qiu Shuang is your daughter, right? Similarly, your blood and your daughter's blood may not mix."

Mother Yuan frowned when she heard this. "If that's the case, even if the master uses blood test to identify relatives, your blood may not mix with his. But for so many years, everyone believes in blood test to identify relatives. Will the master believe it?"

"Given the master's personality, he would rather believe it than not believe it!"

She couldn't help but worry about Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao covered her face and cried, "So, I might as well leave now. Daddy doesn't believe me anyway. If he did, he wouldn't have arranged this!"

As he said this, he looked eagerly at Mother Yuan, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Mother Yuan looked at her like this and felt sorry for her. "Second Miss, if you have anything to say, just tell me. It's so cold, I definitely don't want you to be kicked out! As long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

Shen Jiaojiao achieved her goal. She whispered something in her ear and stuffed a stack of banknotes into her ear. "Mother Yuan, I'll leave my affairs to you. My mother died early, so from now on you are my real mother!"

As she said this, she knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, please accept my daughter's greeting!"
