After the housekeeper left, Zhufang went into the house to report.
"Madam, everything has been arranged."
Xie Wanyu was leaning on the bed, looking weak at all.
"Well, you go down and have a rest."
Zhu Fang bowed and retreated.
Xie Wanyu looked at the gauze curtain on the top of the bed, with an indifferent arc on her lips. She had been waiting for today.
She had never looked forward to it as much as she did tonight, finally being able to ruin Xiao Jing's reputation.
In the front hall, Xiao Jing heard the housekeeper's report and knew that Xie Wanyu must be pretending to be ill. She immediately asked the housekeeper to tell the old lady that she must invite Xie Wanyu.
The butler took the order and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Xiao knew that this matter was unusual and hurriedly took Nanny Feng to Qiran Courtyard.
When Zhufang saw the old lady, he saluted and said, "I've met the old lady."
"Where's your wife?"
"Madam is resting."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she felt angry from the bottom of her heart. How could it be such a coincidence that she got sick at this time.
Such a big thing happened in the Xiao family, and as the head mother of the family, she pretended to be sick and was lazy here.
This is simply unreasonable!
"Wake her up!"
"Old Madam, Madam is very unwell. If you disturb Madam's rest..." Zhu Fang blocked the door and refused to let them in.
"Hmph, such a big thing happened in the front yard. How could she not show up as the head mother of the house?"
The more Mrs. Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and she said to Nanny Feng beside her: "Quickly go in and take a look."
Aunt Feng pushed the door open and looked at Xie Wanyu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Mrs. Xiao followed closely and entered the house.
Xie Wanyu looked at the two people who had suddenly arrived, with a flash of sarcasm in the corner of her eyes.
Zhufang came to the bedside and supported the weak person on the bed.
"Ahem..." Xie Wanyu pretended to cough twice, and then said with a look of self-reproach, "My body is getting more and more useless."
Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to say anything when she saw her morbid state. She could only say displeasedly: "There's something going on in the front yard. Go and have a look and send Princess Jin away."
"Grandma, my body..."
"Stop talking and come with me to deal with it."
Mrs. Xiao forcefully grabbed Xie Wanyu's arm and dragged her out of the room.
Zhu Fang and Nanny Feng followed behind, and the four of them walked towards the front hall.
As soon as he entered the front hall, he heard Xue Xuening kneeling on the ground and shouting that she was wronged.
He kept tugging at Xiao Jing's robe, crying until he was in tears.
In the past, he would have been extremely distressed, even if he offended Princess Jin, he would have protected her, but now he is only filled with disappointment and disgust.
He never thought that Xue Xuening would betray her and get involved with Prince Jin.
To him, this was simply a great shame.
"I've met Princess Jin." Mrs. Xiao took Xie Wanyu with her to salute.
Princess Jin put down the tea in her hand, responded lightly, and said nothing more.
Mrs. Xiao walked over with an apologetic smile, "Did Princess Jin misunderstand something? The rumors outside are not credible!"
Princess Jin smiled coldly, "Your great-grandson has already confessed, does he count as someone else?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Jinmin and almost lost her temper. "It's just a kid's joke. How can you take it seriously?"
"I'm not a child. What I tell is the truth. Princess Jin, you have to believe me!" Xiao Jinmin retorted unwillingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jing kicked him over and cursed: "You don't know how to live or die, I shouldn't have taken you in in the first place!"
Xue Xuening pulled Xiao Jinmin over and looked at Xiao Jing with a distressed face, "Master Hou, what are you doing? He is just a child."
When Princess Jin saw this, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she mocked: "She also said that she was not the one who gave birth to this child. If she wasn't the biological mother, how could she be so protective of him?"
"I, I am his adoptive mother, so naturally I feel more sorry for him than others, but the relationship between me and Prince Jin is innocent." Xue Xuening explained with red eyes.
She can't leave the Xiao family now, let alone admit to having an affair with Prince Jin.
Xue Xuening felt that she was extremely unlucky. Not only did she meet Xie Wanyu, a bitch, but now she almost destroyed herself because of Prince Jin.
She secretly hated her own incompetence.
When Xiao Jing heard Xue Xuening say the word innocence, her heart felt as if she had been cut by a knife.
He couldn't believe that the woman he had always loved could be a wanton slut.
Xie Wanyu watched the play with bright eyes, which was much more interesting than those scripts.
"Princess Jin, are you too sensitive?" Mrs. Xiao said softly.
Princess Jin smiled contemptuously, looked at Xie Wanyu and said, "What do you think, Mrs. Hou?"
Xie Wanyu, who was named, could only say: "The best way is to test the relationship with blood, so that the knot in Princess Jin's heart will be untied."
Princess Jin nodded in agreement, "Yes, come, prepare some water."
"no!"
Xue Xuening and Mrs. Xiao objected.
Once a blood test is performed, Xue Xuening's chastity memorial arch cannot be saved.
Xiao Jing didn't expect that things would become such a big deal, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Princess Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Xiao, "What do you mean, Mrs. Xiao? Could it be that you already knew that this child was born to her? That's why you didn't dare to drop blood for a blood test?"
"Of course not." Madam Xiao said with a guilty conscience.
Xie Wanyu continued to add fuel to the fire: "In that case, why can't we do a blood test? This is the fastest way to solve the problem."
"Besides, didn't grandma say at the beginning that you personally selected this child from the clan, so what's so scary now."
Princess Jin sensed something was wrong in these words. Could it be that the Xiao family was plotting something or trying to use this child for something?
This thought made her even more determined that she must shed blood to recognize her relatives.
"What are you still doing? Take action!" Princess Jin said sternly.
The maid brought water, Xiao Jinmin took the initiative to prick his finger and dripped blood. The guard forced Xue Xuening to hold down, but when he was about to prick his finger, he was interrupted by someone coming.
King Jin pushed away the guard and looked at Princess Jin angrily.
"What are you talking about again?"
When everyone saw King Jin, they quickly stood up and saluted, "I have met King Jin."
Princess Jin didn't look good when she saw him, "Of course I want to find out about your illegitimate child outside."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Go back with me quickly." King Jin said as he went to pull Princess Jin.
Princess Jin dodged King Jin's outstretched hand, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What, are you scared? If you are really open-minded, why are you afraid of bleeding to recognize your relatives!"
"Of course I am magnanimous, please stop falsely accusing me." King Jin roared angrily.
"Okay, then we will shed blood to recognize our relatives."
Princess Jin stood up from the chair and immediately ordered her servants to prepare a new bowl of water.
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly stood up and stopped her: "I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Tell me." King Jin asked impatiently.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xue Xuening and said with concern: "Xue Ning has been working hard and diligently since she was married into the Hou family for more than ten years. The old lady hopes that Princess Jin will not tarnish her reputation, otherwise she will destroy the entire Xiao family."
When Princess Jin heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
"What the old lady said is wrong. This princess is doing this just to clear the reputation of the Xiao family. Only in this way can she prove her innocence."
King Jin could only agree, and two drops of blood fell into the bowl at the same time.
Everyone stared nervously at the blood in the bowl.
