Chapter 264 - Arenst you afraid that Isll tell on you? 1 (2/2)

Ning Yuxuan only responded with an ”en” before looking at the saucer with curiosity.

Ji Man covered the saucer with the teacup's lid and swirled it around a few times until their blood had mixed together. She put it down by Ning Yuxuan and said, ”My lord, congratulation on being reunited with your long-lost younger sister.”

Wen Wan froze in shock, and she cycled through a lot of complicated emotions. There was absolute silence in the room.

”My mother only gave birth to me,” Ning Yuxuan lightly said.

”En.” Ji Man nodded, then she slashed Guibai's finger too. His blood also didn't have any problems being mixed in. ”This servant just wanted to prove that this type of blood test isn't reliable. You don't need to be relatives for your blood to be able to mix together.”

Everyone was enlightened.

Clutching her injured finger, Wen Wan looked at Ning Yuxuan with tears in her eyes and said, ”My lord, Madam did that deliberately. What if it ends up scarring?”

By the side, Nie Chenyu asked, ”Older sister, why didn't you cut yourself?”

”I'm scared of pain,” Ji Man responded with a serious expression.

Furious, Wen Wan shouted, ”Who's not afraid of pain? I'm scared too!”

”It's no big deal. Just endure it for a while and the feeling will pass,” Ji Man comforted.

Wen Wan, ”...”

Qi Siling said, ”Let's get back to the main point. Madam, you said that mixing blood doesn't work, then what kind of method will work for checking if this child is the marquis's son or not?”

”That's easy enough, ” Ji Man said, ”Doesn't everyone say that Xiangguo Temple has a an unusually talented monk that's skilled in medical expertise? There's definitely a difference between a premature baby and a full-term baby. A normal doctor might not be able to distinguish one from the other, but that monk should be able to, right?”

Doctor Li has said Fu-er was a premature baby. If that was true, then the timing of Fu-er's conception would match the second time that Marquis Moyu had favored Muxu. If it that was false, then Fu-er couldn't be Marquis Moyu's son.

Monk Xuwu was very famous. Even though Ji Man rarely left the estate, she had still heard rumors about him.

Ning Yuxuan's brow relaxed. He turned his head and said to Guibai, ”Go and invite Great Master Xuwu.”

Guibai left right after making a sound of assent.

Muxu had been kneeling with her head lowered this entire time. Her heart was extremely uneasy. Her child was a full-term baby. To conceal the true, Li Zixiu had lied and said he was a premature baby. If this was found out, what kind of excuse could she use to continue hiding the truth?

As the dread crept through her mind, it was inevitable that hatred would also begin to develop. No matter what, she had once been Nie Sangyu's servant. Why wasn't she willing to let her off for this? Was Nie Sangyu scared that Fu-er would negatively impact her future? She still had a secret of Nie Sangyu’s that she could be used against her. If she really pushed her to a point of no return...

Kneeling on the ground with Muxu, Li Zixiu's back was straight. But, feeling guilty from Nie Sangyu's prolonged scrutinizing stare, he averted his gaze and looked at the ground.

With his finger wrapped in a handkerchief, Ning Yuxuan quietly looked at the baby in his arms. Fu-er wasn't making a peep either. And so, the room continued to be utterly silent until Monk Xuwu arrived.
