It was obvious that Mei Gu had already prepared Xue Zhiyi's question: "Because I am seriously ill and have not many days left, I prayed to the gods and Buddhas. The abbot of the temple said that I had committed sins when I was young and that retribution would come. If I take these sins with me to my coffin, I will be burned and boiled in oil in the underworld. I am going to die soon anyway, so I might as well tell this story."
Xue Zhiyi just listened to her chatter without rebutting. She leaned her head and smiled slightly: "So, you think you have a change of heart and are turning over a new leaf?"
She turned to look at Fu Ling: "Mother, she said that cousin Rong Xin is your biological daughter, do you believe it?"
Fu Ling was stunned. Xue Zhiyi's calmness was really unexpected.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that... Xue Zhiyi has always known this?
But when did she find out? She hadn't even told Ruoyu and Tingsheng about this, so how could Xue Zhiyi know about it out of nowhere?
Could it be that it was just because of her preference for Rong Xin? Is that all?
But Xue Zhiyi didn't wait for her to answer, and asked Fu Rongxin with his chin in his hand: "Rongxin, you are my mother's daughter, do you believe it?"
Fu Rongxin was crying and acting out her feelings. Seeing Xue Zhiyi's nonchalant expression, she felt a little uneasy: Could it be that Xue Zhiyi had some other tricks up his sleeve? Or was she just pretending to be calm?
Xue Zhiyi still had the heart to tease: "My lady, do you know that I was granted marriage by the current emperor? Now that something like this has happened, I must report it to the emperor. Tell me, does this count as deceiving the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Gu's body trembled suddenly.
"You are almost dead, but the Nine Clans should still exist, right?"
Mei Gu suddenly looked up, and fear finally appeared in her eyes.
But Xue Zhiyi changed the subject and shook his head: "However, you didn't know that the arranged marriage would happen later, so it shouldn't count, but..."
Xue Zhiyi's eyes flickered as he fixed his gaze on Fu Ling and Fu Rongxin. "However, if someone knew about this, yet concealed it when the Emperor granted the marriage, and readily accepted the decree... then it's hard to say."
Fu Ling's heart skipped a beat... She was certain that Xue Zhiyi had known the whole truth a long time ago. He knew very well that she was not the daughter of the Xue family, but he enjoyed all this with peace of mind, waiting for an opportunity to frame her and her Rongxin. He was really despicable!
After a brief moment of shock, Fu Rong knew that she could no longer argue with Xue Zhiyi about this matter. She wiped away her tears and said, "Cousin, please don't be like this. I won't believe a word this man says!"
After that, she asked Mei Gu: "You have said so much, but do you have any evidence?"
Mei Gu was stunned and met Fu Rongxin's eyes. There was a pitiful look in her eyes, but also a hidden cruelty.
Thinking of A'ruan, whom she had never met, she calmed herself down and said, "I don't have any evidence, but there is a simple way to prove what I said is true."
She looked at everyone and said, "Blood test."
Finally it came to this, Xue Zhiyi suppressed the smile in his eyes.
"Then let's test it." Xue Zhiyi said softly, "Maybe it can really give mother a satisfactory result."
Seeing Xue Zhiyi so calm and composed, Fu Ling felt a little unsure. Could it be that this bitch had some other tricks up her sleeve?
After hesitating for a moment, she told Mother Xing, "Go and prepare."
Mother Xing was shocked. She hadn't expected Fu Ling to doubt the Third Young Lady's bloodline just because of the words of a madman who came to cause trouble. "Madam, why don't we wait for the Master to come back..."
"Go and prepare." Fu Ling said, "After the master leaves court, I will explain today's events to him."
While waiting for Xing's mother to prepare the blood test, Fu Rongxin's tense heart finally relaxed a lot.
She looked at Gao Qingnian, who was now full of resentment, and Fu Rongxin sneered secretly: This guy just thinks that she is easy to bully because she is a concubine of a merchant family. Once she restores her status, she will be a noble lady of the Shangshu Mansion. Will he still dare to act rashly?
Mother Xing brought a bowl of water and presented the silver needles.
Xue Zhiyi stood up and pricked his finger without hesitation. The blood fell into the water and spread out in strands.
She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and smiled at Fu Ling: "Mother, please come quickly. What if this is the last time I call you mother in this life?"
Fu Rong was angry at Xue Zhiyi's behavior.
...No, where does she get the confidence from?
Could it be that she did something in the water to prevent her from recognizing her relatives?
While thinking, Fu Ling stood up and walked forward.
She looked at Xue Zhiyi with only vigilance. There was not a trace of love for her son in those cold eyes, even more indifferent than how she would treat a stranger.
At this moment, Xue Zhiyi found that he could not feel any emotion towards Fu Ling at all. He did not feel the slightest bit of chill or reluctance. It was as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him.
After staring at Xue Zhiyi for a while, Fu Ling also stabbed out a drop of blood.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused here, even Xue Tingliu stood up and looked into the bowl.
But I saw two drops of blood spreading in the water, and the red blood was rippling lightly. There seemed to be a chasm between the two, and even in a bowl of water, it was difficult for them to mix.
Xue Tingliu sneered and suddenly looked at Xue Zhiyi.
No wonder...all his confusions became clear at this moment.
Why did Xue Zhiyi hate his parents so much? Why did he kill his own brother? Why did he so hope for chaos in the Xue family?
It turns out that Xue Zhiyi has never been a member of the Xue family, or rather, she has known for a long time that she is not a member of the Xue family.
At this moment, he felt that Xue Zhiyi was like a hare that had been caught in her net and cunningly escaped, escaping from his control. This made him even more eager to catch her and skin her alive...
If the blood does not mix when testing paternity, then the child is not a biological child.
Fu Rongxin pretended to be surprised. She covered her mouth in disbelief and panic: "How could it be... Is my cousin really not my aunt's daughter?"
She choked up and looked at Fu Ling: "Could it be true as this person said, could it be... that I am my aunt's daughter?"
Even though today's recognition of relatives was beyond Fu Ling's expectations, and the predicted disaster has not yet come true, it is still possible to drive away Xue Zhiyi, the unruly little beast. Fu Ling is looking forward to it in his heart.
She concealed her inner joy and said to Xing's mother, "Prepare another bowl."
Mother Xing was also shocked and speechless at this moment. How could the Third Miss suddenly have no relationship with the Xue family? How could this happen?
Seeing this result, Xue Zhiyi's brows twitched slightly. She was surprised: "Madam Xue, we really have no relationship at all. It's really surprising."
Although he said he was surprised, there was a look of relief in Xue Zhiyi's eyes.
Looking at all this, Xue Tingliu was not only certain that Xue Zhiyi had known about this for a long time, but even Fu Ling and Fu Rongxin knew it as well.
This family of theirs is really troublesome, like a group of sick people. It's really embarrassing to live under the same roof with them.
