Chapter 389: What about your biological daughter?
No wonder this woman was able to replace Wen Ge. Her methods were indeed superb and she had these old guys under her control.
This is probably what the junior sister calls the Green Tea and White Lotus syndrome patient.
Cui Yi said with a half-smile: "Yun Huai, this is the daughter-in-law you chose for Shao Yuan?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Cao Jiaojiao's face immediately turned red.
Master Ning was speechless: "How could you, old man, say that so carelessly?"
"Jiaojiao is a girl, she's shy, how can she cope with what you said?"
"Besides, this matter hasn't been finalized yet. We old couple are satisfied, but the marriage is for the children, and we have to see what Shaoyuan thinks. Shaoyuan hasn't returned home yet, so this matter has no future. You big mouth, please stop talking everywhere, lest you ruin Jiaojiao's reputation."
Cui Yi stroked his beard and laughed twice: "It turns out it hasn't been decided yet. I thought it was already decided."
"Yun Huai, if you ask me, Shao Yuan is not young anymore, and it's time for him to get married. You keep putting it off. If something happens to your family, it will delay the marriage for a few years, and it will also delay the girl's marriage, right?"
Cao Jian was delighted.
Although he and Cui Yi did not get along.
But it must be said that Cui Yi's words touched his heart.
Ning Shaoyuan is indeed not young anymore.
Jiaojiao is not young anymore.
The Ning family had not yet sent out the engagement letter, and as the woman's family, they were not in a position to press them, so they could only ask for information in a roundabout way.
The sudden death of Duke Ningguo really made the Cao family anxious.
As the grandson of Duke Ning, Ning Shaoyuan must observe mourning for three years.
After three years, Jiaojiao will really become an old maid. If something unexpected happens again, it will be difficult for Jiaojiao to find a better husband.
Fortunately, Duke Ningguo was rescued.
While Duke Ning is still alive, the Cao family wants to settle the matter between Cao Jiaojiao and Ning Shaoyuan as soon as possible, and it would be best if they could get married as soon as possible. This is why they came here in a hurry.
Just when I was worrying about how to start, Cui Yi brought up the matter first.
Cao Jian echoed, "What Imperial Physician Cui said makes sense. The two children are grown up now, and it's time for them to talk about marriage. The Duke's resurrection is a great joy. If Jiaojiao and Shaoyuan are finally married, it will be even more joyous."
Master Ning frowned slightly.
After being reminded by Cui Yi, he suddenly understood why Cao Jianbaba brought Cao Jiaojiao and her daughter to his house.
They really can't wait.
Cui Yi smiled and said, "Indeed, double happiness."
"Shao Yuan has a calm and composed personality, while Miss Cao is lively and lovely, charming and bright. She's a perfect match for Shao Yuan... Huh?"
Cui Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said casually, "Come to think of it, Miss Cao doesn't look much like Madam Cao or Madam Zun."
"You both have single eyelids, so it's amazing that you gave birth to a beautiful girl like Miss Cao with perfect double eyelids."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Cao Jian and the other two all changed their expressions.
Mrs. Cao was the first to react: "Jiaojiao is a lucky star, blessed by the gods, so she will naturally pick out our best qualities to grow."
Cui Yi didn't give them any face at all: "However, medical books record that parents with double eyelids can give birth to children with single eyelids, but if both parents have single eyelids, they cannot give birth to a child with double eyelids."
Cao Jian's face turned pale. "I wonder where Doctor Cui saw this? As a doctor, how come I've never heard of this before?"
Cui Yi: "Of course it's the Cui family's medical book. The name of the book is 'Genetics'."
"Your Cao family is a family of aristocrats, yet you don't know about this book?"
"Inheritance refers to the degree of similarity between children and their parents."
"For example, single or double eyelids, the size of the ears and lips, the shape of the fingers, even the color of the skin, the height of the nose, and certain genetic diseases, all have patterns that can be found."
"From a genetic perspective, your daughter has no resemblance to you and your wife. This really doesn't conform to the laws of genetics, which is why I'm asking this question."
Cui Yi paused when he said this.
"I've been researching this lately. It's my professional habit to analyze unusual cases. Please don't blame me if I say anything wrong. If I accidentally say something I shouldn't, I apologize."
Cui Yi said everything he needed to say.
Genetics is real, and it was his junior sister who popularized it to him.
He found it magical, so his junior sister asked Qinghuang to write a book about genetics for him.
Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning looked at each other.
Madam Ning said lightly, "Indeed, Jiaojiao doesn't look much like you and your wife."
"I don't understand medicine, nor do I know anything about genetics. I just know that daughters tend to look more like their fathers. To outsiders, most can tell at a glance that they're from the same family. Jiaojiao really doesn't resemble you at all."
Madam Ning's words seemed to be ambiguous, but they all confirmed Cui Yi's words.
Cao Jian and Mrs. Cao both looked very unhappy.
They knew that Madam Ning was giving them a hint.
If they don't give a reasonable explanation, the marriage between the Ning and Cao families may change.
Cao Jiaojiao's expression became even uglier.
She hates being an adopted daughter the most!
Ever since the real daughter of the Cao family was driven out of the Cao family, she was the only daughter left in the Cao family. Her grandparents loved her, her parents loved her, and her brothers spoiled her.
In recent years, few people knew that she was the adopted daughter of the Cao family. The noble ladies who came to Beijing all thought she was the biological daughter of the Cao family.
Cui Yi suddenly mentioned it and even roasted her over the fire.
It’s so hateful!
"Madam, Uncle Ning." Cao Jiaojiao covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, we hid this from you."
"I am not my father and mother's child, I am the adopted daughter of the Cao family."
"The Cao family treated me very well. They raised me as their own daughter and loved me even more than my own parents. I was still very young when I came to the Cao family, and as time went by, I almost forgot that I was an adopted daughter."
"It was only after Doctor Cui mentioned this today that we realized you were still unaware of these things."
"It's not that we're hiding this on purpose," Cao Jiaojiao choked up. "It's just that my parents, out of consideration for my feelings, never want to mention this in front of anyone, for fear that I'll be sad."
"Besides, there's nothing between Young Master Shaoyuan and me. If we bring this up for no reason, we're afraid it might be misinterpreted, causing embarrassment and weakening the bond between our two families."
What Cao Jiaojiao said was reasonable and even Cui Yi couldn't find any fault with it.
Madam Ning nodded slightly.
It is indeed not the Cao family’s fault for this matter.
They were just considering marrying into the Cao family, and there wasn't even a verbal agreement, so there was really no need for the Cao family to come forward and explain.
Master Ning frowned even more tightly.
If Wen Ge had not appeared, he would have had the same idea as his wife.
But after meeting Wen Ge, he always felt something was wrong.
"What about your biological daughter?" Master Ning asked. "I remember you had a daughter, probably around Jiaojiao's age. Where did she go?"
