"It's alright! Anyway, they're treated better than me." Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said.
“That’s not good. I think Lu Ming and Lu Ni might not be the Duke of Zhenguo’s children,” Gu Xin said.
Lu Zheng looked at Gu Xin in surprise.
“I’ve met the Duke of Zhenguo and Madam Lin. Have you noticed that they don’t resemble their parents at all? The Duke of Zhenguo is so handsome, and you and Sister Xue look just like him, which is why you’re good-looking. Even if they don’t look like their father, they should at least look like their mother, but they don’t look like her either. Madam Lin is beautiful too, but they’re so ugly. How could two beautiful people give birth to ugly children one after another? Not only do they not inherit their parents’ flaws, they haven’t even captured their parents’ physical shortcomings. So, I seriously suspect they aren’t their biological children,” Gu Xin said.
“I was in their courtyard when Lin gave birth to Lu Ni, and I saw it with my own eyes.” At this point, Lu Zheng chuckled self-deprecatingly. “When I was little, Lin would tease my sister behind my grandfather’s back. I was five years old when Lu Ni was born, and I was old enough to understand, so I was very resentful. I wanted revenge. She bullied my sister, so I bullied her daughter. I secretly went to her room, intending to do something, but she got angry, so I hid and heard the midwife deliver the baby and hear the baby crying. So, she gave birth to the child.”
“It’s true that she gave birth to the child. But can you be sure that it’s not the Duke of Zhenguo’s?” Gu Xin asked again.
She hadn't thought about it that much before, but after meeting them more often, especially when the Duke of Zhenguo's family sat together, Gu Xin realized that Lu Ming and Lu Ni really didn't resemble their father or mother.
The boys of Lu Zheng's generation in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion are all very tall, and the girls are all petite and delicate. However, Lu Ming and Lu Ni are the opposite; Lu Ming is short, while Lu Ni is very tall.
It's just really strange.
The young ladies and gentlemen of the Duke's mansion are all quite good-looking, but the siblings are just average-looking.
And skin tone.
Lu Zheng's skin would turn white after one winter. The other young masters and ladies of the Duke's mansion were also quite fair-skinned, but the two siblings had rather dark skin.
Gu Xin wasn't sure if her suspicions were correct, but she just felt there was something wrong with the matter, for no apparent reason.
“This…” Lu Zheng paused, then said, “I told you about my dream before! I had the same suspicion in that dream, and I tried to prove it, but the result was that they were indeed my father’s children.”
"How did you prove it?" Gu Xin asked curiously.
"Blood test for kinship," Lu Zheng replied.
"Hahahaha..." Gu Xin paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Yuanyuan, you're so silly! My sister said that blood tests for kinship are unreliable. Maybe our studies can even be combined!"
"?" Lu Zheng didn't understand.
“If you don’t believe me, we can try it. Anyway, my blood and Yun-ge’er’s blood can mix, but Yun-ge’er’s blood and my brother’s blood cannot mix. Why don’t we both drop one and try it?” Gu Xin asked with a smile.
"Fine, I believe you," Lu Zheng said, pulling Gu Xin aside.
“Actually, whether Lu Ming and Lu Ni are your father’s children or not, only the Lin family probably knows. Why don’t we start by investigating the Lin family and find out?” Gu Xin suggested.
