"My Lady, are you saying that deformed children are caused by inbreeding?"
"Well, if there are blood relations within three generations, there is a high probability of giving birth to babies with physical defects and intellectual deficiencies."
Speaking of this, Chu Yuening couldn't help but sigh.
In ancient times, people paid attention to blood ties and liked to strengthen their relationships, but they did not know that this would lead to bitter consequences.
