Since I'm idle anyway, and it's convenient to enter the space, plus I have my own detection device, there's no need to wait to get the tissue sample from the Yin family.
She started using it as soon as she entered the space. Fortunately, the instructions were detailed yet concise, and her memory was pretty good.
Although I wasn't very proficient at using it for the first time, and I had to read the instructions several times to avoid making mistakes, it went quite smoothly overall.
She originally thought that even the fastest test would take some time. After following the machine's instructions and clicking the "Start Test" button, she thought she would leave the space first and come back in to check the results later.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave the space, the instrument's prompt sounded: "This test is complete. To view the results, please press 1; to print the test results, please press 2; to save the test results, please press 3; to clear the test results, please press 4; if you have any doubts and want to test again, please press 5."
Wow, that's amazing! So fast?
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment, raised her hand and pressed 2, then pressed 3.
The test report slowly slid out from beside the instrument and landed in her hand.
"This test is now complete. If you are satisfied, please press 1; if you are not satisfied, please press 2; if you have any suggestions, please press 3."
Hong Xiaoduo glanced at the device, then patiently pressed "1," and immediately followed up with the power button. She was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, the device would prompt her to scan a QR code and follow a public account.
After carefully examining the results at the bottom of the test report in her hand, Hong Xiaoduo was stunned. The test results showed that the father-son relationship between the fake Tong'er and Wei Zizheng was not established.
But they are related by blood!
The printout above suggests that the two individuals being tested are possibly uncle and nephew. The parenthetical note states: (If the genetic relationship between the uncle and nephew is distant, or if the quality of the tissue samples from either individual is poor, it can increase the uncertainty of the identification results, but the results from this instrument still have a certain degree of accuracy.)
Hong Xiaoduo put down the test report and left the space. She really didn't expect that the fake Tong'er was actually a close relative of Wei Junpei's family.
That's interesting. The mastermind behind the scheme against Lord Wei is one of our own!
"Young Lady Hong, do you really like this tea? I'll ask Zizheng how much more there is and bring it all to you." Wei Junpei watched Hong Xiaoduo smell the tea aroma so intently for so long, it was clear she really liked this tea.
Hearing the question, Hong Xiaoduo came back to her senses and turned around: "No, I was just bored and thinking that there are many kinds of tea. I wanted to remember the aroma of the teas I tasted so that I could say a few words about them when I come to a tea tasting party in the future, and pretend that I know a lot about them."
Upon hearing her response, Wei Junpei burst into laughter. This girl is so interesting.
The steward and servants outside the door have been laughing heartily several times since the master returned. They've never done this before. This young lady Hong is quite the comedian!
After the meal, Hua felt a little weak and, fearing that fainting would frighten Kaiyang, went back to her own courtyard to rest.
The mother-in-law, Madam Qi, wanted to go over and offer some words of comfort and advice, but seeing her daughter-in-law's lonely figure and weary steps, Madam Qi felt very sorry for her and ultimately did not follow. She instructed the maid to take good care of the young mistress and did not return to the front courtyard herself.
The master is very close to that young lady Hong and that child of Kaiyang. It doesn't matter if I don't go over there for the time being. I should go back to my room and think about how to get my daughter-in-law to accept Tong'er.
What's giving her a headache is the banquet. Of course, Tong'er has to come along, but if Tong'er sees that her mother isn't affectionate towards her but is affectionate towards another child, it's no wonder she'll feel awkward and overthink things!
Sigh, the mansion was deathly still because Tong'er hadn't been found. Now that she's finally been found, shouldn't the atmosphere be joyful? Why is it suddenly so worrying?
In the living room, Hong Xiaoduo had already switched her teacup back: "Lord Wei, please call me Xiaoduo, it's more intimate."
"Of course that's fine, but you keep calling me 'Sir,' does that make you seem like a close relative? The first time we met, I called you 'Uncle,' but this time you're calling me 'Sir Wei' directly?" Wei Junpei asked with a smile.
"Then if I call you Uncle Wei, won't people think I'm trying to curry favor with you because of my power?" Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wei Junpei couldn't help but burst into laughter again. After laughing, he pointed at her and said, "With your personality, do you really care what others think or say? I just don't believe it!"
Hong Xiaoduo pouted: "Okay, you know me best."
After thinking for a moment, he pulled Kaiyang aside and said, "I'm going to talk to your grandfather for a bit. You can go and watch by yourself for now."
What could Kaiyang say? He immediately took the chess score and walked away to continue studying it.
He didn't really like playing chess. As Sister Feiyan once said, skill is not about quantity, but quality.
But Hong Xiaoduo said something different to them: she said that what she really liked, she could master. As for other things, she should try to learn as much as possible, because it's always good to have more skills.
Kaiyang and the other six didn't even need to think about who was right or who made more sense; they listened to Hong Xiaoduo without hesitation.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo had pulled Kaiyang away, Wei Junpei gestured for Hong Xiaoduo to sit down and chat while enjoying tea.
"Uncle Wei, where are your other brothers and sisters? Do they live far away? With such a joyous occasion as finding Tong'er, how come I haven't seen any of them? Or did they come earlier?" Hong Xiaoduo asked casually.
"When we first met, I told you that the Wei family has few descendants, and this problem didn't start with my generation; it started with my grandfather's generation."
"So, I have no brothers or sisters, I am an only child," Wei Junpei told him.
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo was also perplexed. This information meant that this Lord Wei's grandfather was an only son, and his father was an only son. Therefore, he not only had no brothers, but also no cousins.
That's strange. The paternity test results say there's no uncle-nephew relationship.
They weren't from Wei Junpei's branch of the family, but from the same clan. Although they were also Wei Zizheng's cousins, they were quite far apart. Their children probably wouldn't look that much like Wei Zizheng.
Human genetics and genomics are like heavenly books to Hong Xiaoduo; this one question alone almost burned out her cup size.
It seems like I should tell Old Man Luo to put a computer in her space so she can ask Baidu if she doesn't understand anything!
No, there's another possibility: that Lord Wei isn't a faithful man and has a son outside the marriage.
Can you believe it? The man I admired and thought was quite good, Lord Wei, whom I just praised for his devotion, has fallen from grace so quickly?
Between her and Wei Junpei was a coffee table. After much hesitation, she rested her arm on the coffee table and leaned her upper body towards the other side.
Upon seeing her like this, Wei Junpei, who was sipping tea, felt that she must have something important to say to him that shouldn't be overheard by others, so he subconsciously moved closer to her.
"Uncle Wei, you must have been even more handsome when you were young. Since Auntie isn't here, could you tell me about any romantic escapades you had back then? Did you have any extramarital affairs?"
