Chapter 266 (2/2)

Ji Man approached them with Xi-er and handed Xi-er to Xuwu.

But, surprisingly, Xuwu surveyed her for a long time before his gaze finally fell on Xi-er. After looking at him for a short moment, he smiled and said, ”Actually, this old one was just talking nonsense. How could it be possible to know for sure someone's fate at such a young age? This child's face looks very fortunate too. He must have been a full-term baby too.”

Ning Yuxuan's hand paused. There was a trace of red in his eyes as he raised his head and looked at Xuwu. ”What did you say?”

Xuwu put his palms together and recited a Buddhist prayer before saying, ”Marquis, your aura is too violent. This old one merely said that this child would enjoy good fortune.”

”You said... Xi-er was also a full-term baby?”

Ji Man quietly stood in place and clearly saw the blue veins on Marquis Moyu's temples becoming more prominent. She hurriedly said, ”My lord, don't get too excited yet. Great Master Xuwu, please wait here. There's also another child...”

”Nie Sangyu!” Ning Yuxuan flipped over the game board with his hand and glowered at her. ”What are you scheming? Do you want to prove that all of the children in this household aren't mine?”

Startled by his action, she pressed her lips together and said, ”I didn't say that Xi-er isn't your child. There's just a matter that had been left unresolved until now. Since Great Master Xuwu happens to have this ability, this servant just wants to investigate what happened back then.”

”What do you want to investigate?” Ning Yuxuan asked with angry red eyes.

Ji Man took a step back and said in a low voice, ”This servant thinks there might have been a mistake with Xi-er and Yu-er. If it's confirmed that Xi-er had been full-term baby and Yun-er had been a premature baby, then that would prove this servant's guess was right.”

Ning Yuxuan froze in surprise. With his brow furrowed, he looked at her.

”Please wait for a bit.” Then, Ji Man turned her head and ordered Dengxin to call over Liu Hanyun and Wen Wan and to bring Yun-er over here as well.

Having suffered two shocks within the period of one day, Ning Yuxuan rubbed his head and thought that he had never felt such regret before.

Why couldn't he have welcomed fewer women into his harem?

Once Yun-er was brought over, Monk Xuwu looked at her and said the truth, ”This baby girl was a premature baby. Her body is clearly weaker than that boy baby. How could none of you have been unable to tell?”

Wen Wan took a step back and angrily said, ”How could a conclusion be made just from this old monk's words? I clearly gave birth to a son. There were plenty of witnesses.”

Finally given the chance to say these words, Chunpi quickly said, ”This servant didn't see anything. At that time, only the midwife had seen the baby that my master had given birth to. Right afterwards, she took the baby away. This servant wasn't able to see if my master had given birth to a boy or girl.”

Wen Wan's face turned red, then white. She turned her head and looked at Ning Yuxuan.

Marquis Moyu buried his face in his hand and didn't say anything.
