Chapter 264 - Aren't you afraid that I'll tell on you? (1)

Marquis Moyu sneered. Fu-er was probably feeling uncomfortable being held in his arms and started crying.

Muxu felt overcome with panic. If Marquis Moyu had asked a question or said something, it would at least give her the chance to respond. But, he hadn't said anything and only sneered. His gaze seemed to be saying that he had completely seen through her lies. It made her feel as if she had nowhere to hide.

Sitting by Ning Yuxuan, Ji Man quietly drank her tea. She had only come here as a spectator. She finally understood what kind of person Muxu was. She was a person that was doing her best to climb up, but she was shortsighted and easily tricked.

Back when she was contending with Qian Lianxue, she had thought that Muxu had some amount of intelligence. At the very least, she had been able to pull off being a double agent, ah. But, after Qian Lianxue's mysterious death, it was as if Muxu had let out a sigh of relief and started scheming to improve her status in this household.

Muxu's mind was a little too simple. She thought that once Qian Lianxue died, the past would be erased and her repeated betrayals would be forgotten.

Ji Man sighed. Muxu was being too stupid and naive, ah. It was to be expected. A woman from ancient times wasn't as clever as a woman from modern times.

From the side, Wen Wan suggested a rotten idea, ”My lord, if you're suspicious about this child's origin, how about mixing your blood with his to check?”

Ji Man rolled her eyes. Would someone as clever as Ning Yuxuan really accept such a stupid idea?

”Alright, that's a good idea.” Marquis Moyu nodded.

”...”

Ji Man had forgotten. These people weren't from modern-day. People in this ancient time period had no idea how DNA identification worked. They thought that if two people could mix their blood together without it clumping, it meant they were relatives.

Based on this logic, Nie Sangyu and Ning Yuxuan could also be siblings that had been separated for several years.

Wen Wan asked, ”What's wrong? From your expression, it seems like you don't agree with this idea, Madam.”

Ji Man nodded. ”If you think that mixing blood together can determine if two people are related or not, let's try an experiment first.”

”Why wouldn't it be able to determine it?” Wen Wan frowned. ”Madam, haven't you read books? Since ancient times, people have used this method...”

”Just because I haven't read many books, there's no need for you to discriminate against me.” Ji Man waved her hand. ”We'll only know for sure if we test it out first.”

Ji Man picked up her tea saucer and had Dengxin bring her a knife, then she grabbed Ning Yuxuan's hand and forcefully slashed the blade against one of Ning Yuxuan's finger.

The cut was slightly bigger than it needed to be, so it was easy for her to squeeze the blood out.

The corners of Marquis Moyu's eyes twitched. ”Ow!”

Ji Man had seen so many TV shows with men being stabbed in the chest without making any sounds of pain. This was a mere cut on his finger, and he was a grown man. Did this really warrant a reaction from him? Ji Man shot a glance at him before taking out her handkerchief and wrapping his finger with it. Then, she walked to Wen Wan's side with the saucer of blood. Before Wen Wan had time to resist, she had grabbed her hand and made a cut on Wen Wan's finger too.
