He laughed, and Lord Wei laughed too, but it was a mockery: "I just said it was a secret technique. What is a secret technique? It is something that others do not know or know. How can something as simple as blood kinship testing be considered a secret technique?"
"Lord Gu, the world is full of wonders. Just because you don't know something, don't understand it, or haven't seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Although the guests present all knew that Lord Gu was just stirring up trouble, they wanted to support Lord Wei, but they couldn't find the right words to say it.
Because Minister Gu's doubts were not without reason.
"Oh, may I ask if the expert that Lord Wei mentioned is here today? If so, could you please come up and broaden our horizons so that we may know what it means to be out of this world and to have someone more capable than us?" Minister Gu pressed on relentlessly, feeling that he had already seized control.
Minister Gu's suggestion silenced the room, and everyone looked at Wei Junpei.
The Wei clan chief and the two clansmen who came with him both had worried expressions on their faces.
Given the current situation, they should stand up and say something, but after thinking about it, they feel that it doesn't seem to make any difference whether they say anything or not.
It wouldn't be appropriate to arrogantly declare, just to support one's own people, that whether someone is a descendant of the Wei family or not is for the Wei family to decide.
In that case, it might seem like you're standing up for your own people, but you'd probably be doing more harm than good. So, it's best to keep quiet and observe how things develop!
The fact that the child's identity was questioned in public like this, even if the family acknowledges him, will likely have a significant impact on the child in the future.
Lord Wei turned around and found the figure. Seeing that she nodded to him, he said, "She is here. Since Lord Gu insists, I will grant her request."
After speaking, Lord Wei clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Hong Xiaoduo.
Everyone followed Lord Wei's gaze and looked over, but instead of the silver-haired, silver-bearded master, they saw a young woman of about fifteen or sixteen years old who stood up and walked over.
Is she the extraordinary person that Lord Wei mentioned?
Apart from the five members of the Wei family, everyone else showed an expression of utter shock, including the servants who were attending to the guests, as well as the steward, Zhongqing.
In fact, when the young master and young mistress walked over with the child, everyone working in the Wei family was puzzled and confused.
Why hasn't the young master shown up?
With her hands behind her back, Hong Xiaoduo walked to stand next to Lord Wei and his family, facing the gazes of the hundred or so guests. From this distance, she could see Minister Gu and his son more clearly.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt that the other person looked like a villain.
"Lord Wei, is this the expert you just mentioned who knows the secret technique of identifying blood relatives? Hahaha, are you joking? Her, a mere little girl who hasn't even grown up yet?"
"This isn't me targeting you or trying to make you uncomfortable. Ask any of the other guests here, who would believe she's some kind of expert, someone who knows such secret arts? Hahaha, hahaha!" Minister Gu pointed at Hong Xiaoduo and laughed heartily.
The only one laughing along with him was his son, Gu Liulang, and Grandpa Fu also had a smile on his face.
The other guests looked at Hong Xiaoduo standing next to Lord Wei with sympathy and incomprehension.
"I, the Crown Prince, believe you." With a pleasant male voice, a handsome young man stood up.
"What's wrong with you?" Princess Fenglin's attention was originally focused on the "expert" beside Lord Wei, but when she suddenly heard a familiar voice beside her, she turned her head and saw her son who had already stood up...
