Shen Ruyi is really ignorant and uneducated.
But now, he has an extra layer of concern.
Not to mention Shen Ruyi's current identity, even her blood connection with Shen Jiaojiao seems to have to be discounted.
And in his heart, he actually hoped that she wouldn't be so sensible, and at least make a fuss to give him a way out.
But, no more.
Shen Cangyun closed his eyes and finally said, "If you really don't like Jiaojiao, then it's up to you from now on. I'll ask Doctor Yan to come and take some blood. It won't be much. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Compared to the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion, bloodline seems to become less important.
If you don’t admit it, then just don’t admit it.
As long as she is still the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion...
Shen Cangyun chose to take a step back.
Shen Ruyi nodded, "Okay."
Shen Cangyun wanted to ease the tension with her, but seeing her like this, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he said, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back and prepare first."
After saying that, he turned and left Xifeng Courtyard.
Shen Ruyi watched him leave without saying anything.
Han Jiang came in, bringing the cooked chicken soup, side dishes, and flower rolls with fragrant beans, "Miss, my prince sent them here to nourish you. I just heated them up for you, please try them."
Shen Ruyi felt warm in her heart, "Thank your Highness for me, and thank you too."
Han Jiang smiled and said, "It is my duty to do this."
After all, she will be the mistress of the Ninth Prince's mansion in the future.
Shen Ruyi ate some and gradually regained her strength. She just waited for Shen Cangyun to call someone over.
As it got dark, footsteps were heard outside.
Shen Cangyun led Shen Yu and Doctor Yan in, "Ruyi, just take a little blood from your finger, don't be afraid."
Shen Ruyi didn't say anything, but just handed her hand to Doctor Yan.
If nothing unexpected happens, Doctor Yan will give her the result she wants. After all, Shen Jiaojiao has already found Mother Yuan, and Mother Yuan has also gone to find Doctor Yan.
Shen Ruyi pricked her finger with a needle and squeezed out a little blood, which was collected by Doctor Yan in a small porcelain bottle. He smiled at Shen Ruyi and said, "The bleeding will stop in a while. Just apply pressure with this cotton ball."
Shen Ruyi nodded and said nothing.
"Ruyi, you should have a good rest. We still have to go to the Gu family tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of old lady Gu."
Before leaving, Shen Cangyun looked at her one more time.
It’s not important to go to Gu’s house to celebrate his birthday.
The important thing is that Shen Ruyi went there in person despite her injuries, which means that she still loves Gu Qinghua and wants to marry him.
Shen Ruyi knew what he meant and nodded, "Okay."
Shen Cangyun left with peace of mind.
Shen Ruyi turned off the lights and asked Fangfei to go to Jiaoyang Pavilion to keep an eye on it. She lay in the dark waiting for any news.
She will definitely go to the old lady Gu's birthday party tomorrow.
But it won’t give them the results they want.
…
On the way back, Shen Cangyun asked Shen Yu, "Have you found the midwife?"
Shen Yu nodded, "I've found her. She's working in the bun shop outside. I've asked someone to look for her and will bring her back soon."
"Well, let's go test Ruyi's blood first."
Shen Cangyun said this and glanced at Doctor Yan.
Doctor Yan is actually no longer in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He is 67 years old this year and retired two years ago. He was originally a man of Concubine Li, but after being sacrificed by Concubine Li, he left the Imperial Medical Bureau and is now just a figurehead there.
After Shen Ci left the Imperial Hospital, he was the only person Shen Cangyun could trust.
But at this time, Doctor Yan did not raise his head, but lowered his eyebrows and said: "Wait for me to prepare water myself."
Shen Cangyun looked at Mother Yuan and said, "Take Doctor Yan to the kitchen."
The blood test for paternity is no joke. He wanted Doctor Yan and Mother Yuan to supervise each other to prevent anyone from cheating, but he didn't know that the two had already colluded with each other.
"Doctor Yan, please come this way."
Mother Yuan glanced at Doctor Yan, and the two of them seemed to have never met each other before.
Doctor Yan nodded and said politely, "Thank you for the trouble."
The two of them entered the kitchen one after the other. Mother Yuan then turned around and looked at Doctor Yan and said, "Doctor Yan, the rest of the matter is left to you. As long as you do a good job on this matter, you will definitely get the benefits I promised you."
Doctor Yan nodded, with a hint of hatred hidden in his voice, and gritted his teeth and said, "As long as my son can replace Shen Ci, let alone do this, I'm willing to kill people!"
As he spoke, he took out a package from his sleeve and sprinkled it into the basin.
Mother Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "With the Third Prince in charge, nothing will go wrong."
The two men spoke in low voices. The cold wind was howling outside, and even Shen Yu and Shen Cangyun, who were standing under the eaves, did not hear them.
Soon, Doctor Yan came out of the kitchen with a basin of water, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Prime Minister, everything is ready."
"Let's go inside."
Shen Cangyun glanced at him and turned into the study.
"Prime Minister, please."
Doctor Yan put down the basin and looked at Shen Cangyun.
There was a hint of hatred hidden in his dark eyes, but it only flashed for a moment and soon disappeared, leaving only flattery in his eyes.
Shen Cangyun was preoccupied and didn't notice his change.
With a gloomy face, he cut his finger and squeezed a drop of blood into it.
Doctor Yan took out a porcelain bottle and poured a drop of blood he had just taken from Shen Ruyi's hand into it.
The two drops of blood were very close.
However, after a while, they showed no signs of fusion. Instead, they each formed a blood clot, as if they were confronting each other and refused to get close to each other no matter what.
According to the rules of blood test, it is obvious that Shen Ruyi is not Shen Cangyun's flesh and blood!
"My Lord, this——"
Doctor Yan showed a surprised expression and looked at Shen Cangyun.
Shen Cangyun stared at the basin, his eyelids twitched several times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "She is not my daughter!"
What followed was an indescribable feeling of shame, "All these years, I never thought that I had been cheated on!"
Although he had expected it, when it actually happened, he was still so angry that he was shaking all over. He turned his head and stared at his wife's portrait on the wall with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could take the portrait down and tear it to pieces.
Doctor Yan sneered in his heart.
Shen Yu's expression was also extremely complicated, but he still had some basic rationality. Seeing that there were outsiders in the room, he quickly changed the subject, "Father, Jiaojiao's blood hasn't been taken yet."
"You go with Doctor Yan. I won't go."
Shen Cangyun clenched his fists and his voice trembled.
He really didn't expect that the daughter he had raised with so much effort over the years was not his biological daughter!
Thinking back to his wife's premature birth sixteen years ago, after she passed away, he couldn't help but curse her with hatred: "Why didn't we die together?"
If there had been one corpse and three lives at that time, we would have avoided the dilemma now!
Outside, in the dark night.
Doctor Yan followed Shen Yu and walked towards Jiaoyang Pavilion step by step.
Mother Yuan followed behind.
Shen Yu pondered for a while, turned his head and looked at Doctor Yan, and solemnly reminded him: "Doctor Yan, although you have left the Imperial Hospital, both we and Concubine Li will remember you in our hearts. When the Second Prince ascends the throne, he will naturally not forget your kindness."
