As for the female guests, they did not have any strong internal strength, and they were not sharp enough to hear what was happening over there with the male guests, who were far away and whose view was blocked by pavilions, towers, and flower gardens.
Only a small number of people could see that something seemed to be happening over there.
I didn't care at first.
While the male guest was preparing to do the blood test, the female guests suddenly started to whisper to each other.
An unknown maidservant of one of the female guests passed by the male guest's place and heard and saw what had happened. When she came back, the news spread quietly.
This fact was so shocking and unbelievable that many people did not believe it at first. They lowered their voices and said, "It's impossible. Did they deliberately frame Miss Ling San because of their previous grudge?"
Someone else said subtly, "It's hard to say. You didn't see the child. He was carved out of nothing."
"Oh, it's as if you saw it." Someone immediately interrupted her. After all, Miss Ling is no longer the same as before, and many people are willing to say a few good words about such an obviously absurd thing.
Mu Qing was eating when he gradually felt something was wrong.
Although the voices of those people were whispering very quietly, she could still hear Miss Ling San popping up from time to time.
Looking at Su Yi and Ying Hua behind him, "Ling Jing hasn't come back for so long, who of you will go check on her?" He simply stood up and said, "Forget it, you guys just stay here, I'll go check on her myself."
Many people at the banquet shut up when they saw Mu Qing stand up.
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, his eyes becoming more suspicious.
Li kept his eyebrows down, only occasionally giving a fake smile in response to other people's greetings. His lowered eyes concealed a viciousness that was almost ready to die together with him.
Over there, at Ling Yanran's table were concubines and other relatives from the royal families. Many of the maids beside them came forward and whispered something in their masters' ears.
Soon, although the expressions of everyone at the table barely changed, the look in their eyes became very subtle.
For the men, transparent containers have been prepared and placed where everyone can see clearly.
When Zhan Xiuzhu saw that they were going to do a blood test to test their kinship, he still had a sarcastic smile on his face, without any sign of retreat or panic.
Baili Feiyue's eyes were calm.
Ling Sheng clenched his five fingers into a fist. Even if the blood test was to prove innocence, it was such an insult in itself that an unmarried girl was forced to undergo a blood test to prove her innocence!
No matter Jing'er or the Ling family, they can only endure this humiliation!
Otherwise, the consequences would be even more terrible, not only for Jing'er, but for all the children in the entire Ling family!
He looked at Zhan Xiuzhu sternly, "Master Zhan, please come in."
A servant came forward with a brand new dagger that had been checked in public to see if it had been tampered with in any way.
Zhan Xiuzhu was not afraid at all. He held the child and held one of his fingers.
The little kid was used the soul-stealing technique by Baili Feiyue, and although his eyes were open, he was completely in a dazed state. When the servant gently cut a cut on his finger, his eyebrows twitched subconsciously.
Blood drips into a transparent container.
Everyone looked at Baili Feiyue. There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Baili Feiyue's lips. He also stretched out his finger. After being checked by a special person, it was found that the servant had cut it and blood was dripping.
Most people present held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two drops of blood in the transparent container.
However……
When everyone was almost suffocating, the two drops of blood melted little by little!
At this time, all kinds of people and local celebrities nearby had gathered around unconsciously. When they saw this scene, they all gasped!
Everyone's brain was shocked by this terrible information.
There was no reaction for a moment.
Zhan Xiuzhu sneered, "Ling Jing, you still don't admit it now?"
Before Baili Feiyue could answer, the old lady's face twitched uncontrollably, her lips trembled for a long time, and her expression was very ugly, "Ridiculous! Absurd!"
The crutch was about to poke a hole in the ground. "General Ling, let's see what we should do!"
Those who originally thought that having a child was a fantasy now looked at Baili Feiyue with an indescribable look.
Ling Sheng's eyes were complicated, but he still said, "Master Taifu, the blood test alone is not enough..."
"General Ling, are you going to ignore the other children of your General's Mansion and the reputation of your General's Mansion in order to protect your own daughter? Are you going to ignore the reputation of the women of Dajing and the face of Dajing?"
Before he could finish, the old tutor spoke with great sorrow.
Then he said without question, "If General Ling doesn't deal with it, then let's follow the common people's way and let the head of your Ling family deal with it!"
The common people's method is either to put her in a pig cage and sink her into a pond, or to burn her alive! Ling Sheng's eyes darkened, "Master Taifu, it's not that I, Ling Sheng, want to protect my daughter. It's just that this matter is strange..."
"Strange?" The old tutor's brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a fly to death. It was not that he was targeting Ling Sheng, on the contrary, he admired this great general very much and would not let him be ruined by a daughter like this!
What's more, if an unmarried woman does such a thing, no matter which family she lives in, be it poor people or even royal family, there is absolutely no way out!
He let General Ling handle it himself, which was already turning a blind eye!
"Blood testing has been around since ancient times. From the king to the common people, everyone has always used this ancient method. General Ling, you can't be so confused!"
In fact, even as a three-dynasty senior official, it was not appropriate for the Grand Tutor to intervene like this. But the court officials knew the temper of this man. It would be fine if they didn't see him, but if they did, he would never tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
Although he is not likable, his starting point is completely selfless and he just wants to maintain the etiquette of the saints.
Indeed, the practice of identifying kinship by dropping blood has existed since ancient times and has always been like this.
I'm afraid that Miss Ling San did it...did it...
If they are not dealt with, the General's Mansion will never be able to raise its head in Kyoto again, and General Ling Sheng will never be able to gain a foothold in the court again! No decent family will ever marry the young ladies and young men of the Ling Mansion!
Of course Ling Sheng understood these principles.
But, even if the result of the blood test...
He still didn't believe that his third daughter would not only get married to someone secretly, but also have a child!
In front of everyone, blood was dripped to test the blood relationship. This was a dead end.
No matter what they think in their hearts, at least everyone present today is here to celebrate the birthday. Although it is not easy to say excessive words, the thoughts in the heart and the expressions in the eyes at the moment cannot be concealed.
Even for General Ling's sake, an unmarried girl giving birth to a child out of wedlock is not an ordinary unmarried child. If what Zhan Xiuzhu said is true, no matter what, he is too shameless and should be thrown into the pig cage!
The good impression that people had previously had because of this man's medical skills disappeared in an instant.
The customs of Dajing are relatively open, and they can tolerate women with talent and innovation. But this kind of thing is simply crossing the bottom line!
