Lu Jin collapsed to the ground, listening to the surrounding chatter and looking at Shen Qingtang's cold eyes.
They finally panicked completely.
Shen Qingtang stopped arguing with everyone, reached out and grabbed Lu Jiaojiao, who was still crying, while her other hand seemed to be rummaging through her bundle.
In reality, he took out a white porcelain bowl and a clean earthenware bowl from his spatial storage.
It was used to hold blood.
Earthenware basins were used as containers for blood-drop kinship tests.
"What do you want to do?!" Lu Jiaojiao was held so tightly she couldn't move.
Furious and terrified, she cursed at Shen Qingtang, "You beast! You tried to harm me! I'm going to kill you!"
Lu Jin and Lin Peirou panicked completely, and Lu Jin struggled to get up to stop them.
But Shen Minglan held him down firmly.
Lin Peirou trembled all over, muttering repeatedly, "Don't prove it... you can't prove it..."
Mother Lu was so anxious that she stamped her feet and shouted at Shen Qingtang, "Shen Qingtang! Are you crazy? Jiaojiao is your daughter! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for treating her like this?"
Shen Qingtang completely ignored their shouts, gripped Lu Jiaojiao's wrist, and said with an icy gaze, "Whether she is my daughter or not, we'll prove it to everyone today."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the dagger in her other hand and, without hesitation, made a small cut on her fingertip. Bright red blood immediately dripped into the ceramic basin.
Immediately afterwards, she grabbed Lu Jiaojiao's hand.
He also made a light cut with the dagger.
Lu Jiaojiao screamed in pain, but she couldn't break free and could only watch helplessly as her blood dripped into the ceramic basin.
After Shen Qingtang finished doing all this, he casually threw Lu Jiaojiao aside. Lu Jiaojiao staggered and fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face from the pain. She forgot to cry and curse, and just stared intently at the two drops of blood in the pottery basin.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the ceramic basin. They could see Shen Qingtang's blood droplets and Lu Jiaojiao's blood droplets floating in the basin, always keeping a distance.
There was no sign of fusion whatsoever.
"They didn't...they didn't blend together?" Someone was the first to react, their voice filled with shock. "This means...Lu Jiaojiao really isn't Shen Qingtang's daughter?"
"My God! It's true! Lu Jin and Lin Peirou really did switch children!"
"No wonder Shen Qingtang doesn't acknowledge Lu Jiaojiao. Anyone would be furious if they were fooled like that!"
The discussion erupted instantly. Everyone's gaze towards Lu Jin, Lin Peirou, and Lu's mother changed, filled with contempt, anger, and a hint of fear. No one expected that this family could do such a despicable thing.
Lu Jiaojiao lay on the ground, staring at the two distinct drops of blood in the ceramic basin, her face instantly turning ashen.
She didn't understand what was wrong with Shen Qingtang, and she didn't understand why the two drops of blood hadn't mixed together.
She already knew. She wasn't her daughter.
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself unable to utter a single word. She could only stare blankly at the two drops of blood, feeling a chill run through her body.
Shen Qingtang picked up the ceramic basin, held it up to everyone, and said in a clear voice, "As you all can see, my blood and Lu Jiaojiao's blood have not mixed. This is enough to prove that I have no blood relation with her whatsoever."
Lu Jin collapsed to the ground, staring at the blood in the earthenware basin and the angry looks in the eyes of the people around him, completely losing his strength.
