Su Ruotang nodded: "Yes, there is a saying in medicine that when close relatives get married, the child will most likely have problems."
"Either stupid or disabled."
As Su Ruotang's light words fell, there was a silence in the room.
After a while, Gu Shuya slowly spoke, "When I went out with my grandfather, I passed by a poor village in Dongqi."
"There are also people there who have mutilated limbs or have abnormal brains."
"The only difference is that their families didn't give up on them."
"In a village with less than a hundred people, the younger the people are, the more abnormal they are."
However, she didn't see any seriously disabled people at that time. She thought it was inconvenient for them to go out and they stayed indoors.
Fu Beixian spoke clearly: "Because these people are poor and the village is remote, their marriages are all done in the village."
"As time goes by, everyone in the village has the same blood flowing through them, which also causes the descendants to become more and more abnormal."
"Smart." Su Ruotang glanced at him approvingly.
Xu Zhao looked at the child blankly, then looked at Su Ruotang, "What do the third princes and concubines mean, is that the pure bloodline that the three major families have been pursuing has caused the descendants to become more and more abnormal?"
She explained the key in one sentence.
Su Ruotang appreciated her intelligence and nodded: "Yes, the family has been pursuing pure blood for thousands of years. At the beginning, due to the large family size, the blood relationship between the clan members was weak or even non-blood."
"But after thousands of years of reproduction, in order to pursue pure blood, people within the clan marry. As time goes by, the blood ties between the clan members become deeper and deeper, and the children naturally start to have problems."
Xu Zhao thought thoughtfully: "The deeper the blood relationship, the more serious the child's problems will be?"
Su Ruotang nodded lightly: "Theoretically, that's the case, but there are also surprises."
She raised her chin towards the infant in Xu Zhao's arms: "Your child is quite lucky and has normal intelligence."
Her medical space has biological bones, a material that fits the human body extremely well.
In previous lives, it was developed specifically for use by disabled people.
It can help disabled people reshape their appearance.
The only disadvantage is that it cannot grow with the child, so most surgeries cannot be performed until adults.
After that, there is no difference in appearance, but it has no function.
Minghou and Patriarch Ming ignored it and smiled bitterly.
Immediately, their eyes became complicated when they fell on the children outside the window.
Finally, Patriarch Ming closed his eyes and spoke slowly, "Let the parents of these children come and see them."
Patriarch Xiao was shocked: "Clan Chief Ming, you..."
Quan Hongying let out a long sigh: "It's time to let them see these children."
Xing Yuhuang closed her eyes: "They can't accept it..."
Xing Nanye agreed with Quan Hongying and Clan Chief Ming.
His delicate and charming face, as charming as a lotus, exuded a coldness and gloominess, "You should face the wrong things you have done."
Xing Jingxi nodded: "Yes, if we don't let them face it, the three major families will never admit that their thousand-year pursuit is wrong."
The third princess also agreed: "Over the years, they have even believed that it was a curse and punishment from the gods. Without a strong dose of medicine, they will not admit their mistakes."
Xing Yuhuang opened her eyes and looked at the three clan leaders, "Please three of you, please open up the barren mountain."
The three clan leaders looked at each other and left with heavy steps.
They don't know whether it is good or bad to open the barren hills today.
The three Xing Yuhuang sisters also left with Xing Nanye and Xing Jingxi.
There were only four people left in the house, Minghuo, his wife and Su Ruotang.
Su Ruotang pointed to the baby in Xu Zhao's arms: "Mrs. Ming, please put the baby on the bed and I will check the baby in detail."
Xu Zhao wiped the tears from his eyes, carefully placed the child on the bed, and unswaddled it.
The one-day-old baby looked at several people with wide round eyes.
Occasionally spit out a milk bubble, without crying or fussing.
The child's well-behaved appearance made Xu Zhao even more distressed.
She looked at the child's mutilated limbs and tears kept falling.
Minghuo held her hand distressedly: "Zhaozhao, we are going to have this child, and I will not let him be bullied!"
"Stop crying. Crying during confinement will hurt your eyes."
Su Ruotang checked the child in detail and was relieved to confirm that the child had no hidden diseases.
She was worried that there might be something wrong with her child's internal organs.
But now it seems that God does take good care of this child.
She quickly rewrapped the swaddling clothes and looked at Minghuang, "Chief Minghou, don't forget what you promised me."
Minghuo nodded: "Third Princess, don't worry."
About an hour later, bursts of bustling sounds came from afar.
Minghou's expression became solemn: "Zhaozhao, stay in the house with your child."
Xu Zhao hugged the child and sat back on the bed, biting his lip when he heard this.
In the end, he just said a faint sentence, "My child and I are waiting for you here."
Things that the three major families had hidden for hundreds of years were revealed to the public.
The shock caused...
She really couldn't imagine it.
Minghou's eyebrows widened and he smiled.
He nodded hard and said one word, "Okay!"
Hundreds of people who followed the three clan chiefs up the mountain saw the five Xing Yuhuang people standing in front of the pavilion and saluted quickly:
"The common people see three princesses and two royal grandchildren."
Xing Yuhuang raised her hand with a complicated expression: "Get up."
She slowly glanced at everyone and said in a solemn voice, "Everyone will go in. No matter what you see, please don't be surprised or frightened."
What are you surprised about?
Frightened?
A big question mark slowly appeared above everyone's heads.
Surprised they still understand.
But what the hell is panic?
Moreover, why are the sounds of children playing in the attic so... indescribably weird?
Xing Yuhuang took a deep look at everyone and turned sideways.
The guard behind him stepped forward and slowly opened the pavilion door.
The heavy wooden door opened.
A dull creaking sound hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
The wooden door slowly opened.
Everyone's expressions changed from shock and confusion to horror and disbelief as the wooden door opened.
"This...what is this?"
"Are they children?"
"Impossible! How could there be such a terrifying-looking child?"
"That little girl with a crooked mouth looks like the niece of Mr. Xiao's family!"
"And that boy crawling on the ground, why does he look a bit like the young master of the Quan family?"
"There is also the child who looks like an old man. The red drop-shaped birthmark on the back of her hand is like the one on a girl's hand..."
After everyone was stunned, some pointedly pointed at the children in the courtyard and started talking.
Gradually, as more and more children came out of the room, everyone's expressions became strange.
