Chapter 43: Mother's Strength
In the lobby of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone's breathing seemed to become heavy.
Caiyi's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and a hint of despair and fear flashed in her eyes.
"No... no... we can't use blood to identify our relatives."
Wang Wenzhao frowned, his eyes full of trust and determination in Caiyi.
"Caiyi, even though father has some doubts, why not just do as he wishes? I believe in you. As long as we do the blood test to prove our relationship, father will no longer have any doubts."
Caiyi held Wang Wenzhao's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Cousin, we can't use blood tests to prove our relationship. Don't you know for sure if Tuantuan is your child?"
"Today, if Tuantuan is publicly recognized through blood tests, even if it is as the Marquis wishes and it is finally proven that Tuantuan is your child, her identity will still be in doubt. How will she face the gazes of others in the future?"
"How can a child who is doubted by his own grandfather be respected by others?"
Wang Wenzhao felt even more embarrassed when he heard this.
"Can…………"
Caiyi held his hands.
"Cousin, since I returned to the Imperial City, I have been by your side every day. Cousin, don't you still believe in my innocence? Don't you believe in my sincerity?"
"For so many years, my heart has always been filled with my cousin. Now I have no one to rely on. Cousin, are you going to join others in bullying me?"
Wang Wenzhao looked at Caiyi and then at the gloomy-faced Marquis Yongchang, and fell silent.
Seeing this, Caiyi pulled his hand and shook it.
"cousin."
"If you didn't even protect me and the child today, what future can we talk about?"
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed in sincerity."
As he spoke, he started crying.
"That's what I was saying. How could anyone truly protect someone like me?"
"My mother died when I was young, my stepmother doesn't like me, my father doesn't love me, how can anyone love me?"
"I was delusional. It was me who brought misery upon myself and my child."
Seeing her so sad, Wang Wenzhao spoke to the Marquis of Yongchang helplessly.
"Father, I believe Caiyi. After all, this is my son's business. Please don't interfere anymore."
Seeing Wang Wenzhao being coaxed into this state by Caiyi with just a few words, Nian was so angry that his face turned ashen. He stood up and pointed at Wang Wenzhao.
"You rebellious son..."
When Caiyi saw this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she broke down crying.
"Cousin, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come to the Marquis' Mansion. I've caused trouble for the Marquis' Mansion, and for my aunt and cousin as well. I know the new wife is coming soon. The existence of my child and I is a mistake. I can die. It doesn't matter. I only ask that, for the sake of our many years of friendship and the fact that this child is your own flesh and blood, you treat this child well."
After saying that, he broke free from Wang Wenzhao's hand and crashed into the pillar beside him.
Wang Wenzhao was frightened and hurriedly grabbed Caiyi.
"Caiyi, what are you doing?"
"Don't do anything stupid."
"I believe you. I didn't say I don't believe you."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it for the moment.
"Caiyi, don't cry. You're still in confinement after your baby's birth. After this blood test, Tuan Tuan's identity will be clear. Who will dare to gossip about him then?"
The Marquis of Yongchang was able to rise to the rank of Marquis step by step. What kind of people had he not seen? Caiyi saw through this little trick at a glance.
"Someone, pull the prince away."
Soon several servants pulled Wang Wenzhao away.
Then look at Caiyi.
"Didn't you say you wanted to die?"
"The pillar is right there, hit it if you can."
"The Marquis' Mansion has been supporting you for so long, and you've created a grudge against me?"
"He's been making trouble in the Marquis' Mansion every day."
The servant had asked the wet nurse to bring the child and prepared a bowl of water.
Seeing this, Caiyi felt despair in her heart and her eyes were full of despair as she looked at the pillar not far away.
Perhaps my death can bring prosperity and wealth to my children.
Marquis Yongchang had a blank expression on his face, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
"You can die if you want. You know whether this child is the blood of the Marquis' Mansion or not. If you die in my Marquis' Mansion, this child will be thrown out to feed the stray dogs."
Caiyi's eyes widened when she heard this and she looked at Yongchang Hou and spoke.
"Uncle, I've called you uncle for over ten years, and you really think you're so cruel and unkind."
Marquis Yongchang was too lazy to pay attention to her and spoke to the servant.
"Prepare for a blood test."
Soon the servant cut the child's fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood dripped into the bowl of water.
Wang Wenzhao looked at the bowl of water dripping with blood. For some reason, he didn't want to use the blood test to identify his relatives at that moment.
Seeing that he didn't move, Marquis Yongchang stepped forward, forcefully pulled his hand, pierced his fingertip, and dripped the blood into the water.
Everyone held their breath and waited, only to see that the two drops of blood in the bowl did not mix, but separated and appeared clearly in front of everyone.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the scene in disbelief.
"how so?"
"That's impossible!"
Wang Wenzhao's face turned ashen in an instant. He widened his eyes and stared at the bowl of water, as if he wanted to see through it.
"How come?"
"Why doesn't the blood mix?"
Marquis Yongchang looked at Wang Wenzhao with disappointment.
"Why?"
"Because you're stupid."
"I don't know how the Wang family produced such a fool like you."
"Not only did he become someone's cheap father for a widow, but he also ruined the Xiao family's marriage."
Caiyi calmed down at this time.
He looked at the bowl of water and then at Marquis Yongchang.
Waiting for the final result.
Marquis Yongchang looked at his wife.
"This is your niece. Send her away on your own. If I see her again in the Marquis' Mansion, you will go with her."
Then he looked at Wang Wenzhao.
"Ever since you were born, I've had high hopes for you. I never thought you'd develop such a foolish personality. I hope this incident will teach you a lesson. Don't let all these years of growing older without growing smarter, and being played around by a woman."
"In the future, work harder, read more books, and when your wife comes home, live a good life with her, and then prepare for the imperial examination."
"If you continue to be so stubborn, you will not be my only son."
After saying that, he glanced at Caiyi coldly, as if he was looking at something dirty, then flicked his sleeves and left.
The wife of Marquis Yongchang looked at the bowl of water and thought of Marquis Yongchang's words.
His heart was also filled with anger, and he raised his hand and slapped Caiyi in the face.
"Caiyi, I've been very kind to you, yet you actually cheated on my son."
Caiyi was slapped in the face. She raised her hand to touch her face and wiped away her tears.
"Aunt, this child was born before I entered the mansion. It can't be considered that I am cheating on my cousin. At most, my cousin is helping me raise the child."
