Chapter 713: A Western Version of Blood Test. Qi Rongrong was willing to return, but she insisted on bringing along the pregnant Third Miss of the Tiezhu Marquisate. However, fearing a murder on the way, she grumbled and said she dared not come. To reassure her, Qi Rongrong declared, "Live together, die together." This infuriated Fu Chenan to the point of laughter. He ordered the guards to escort Qi Rongrong, and she simply brought the Tiezhu Marquisate, his wife, and their children to Tianwu Capital. He made sure everyone was safe. Since they were going to die, then so be it. The group included pregnant women and the sick, and they moved slowly. By the time they arrived in Tianwu Capital, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes and lanterns were already being sold in the streets, giving the impression of families reuniting. As they entered the bustling Tianwu Capital, the bustling atmosphere filled them with a sense of daze. The last time they had left Tianwu Capital was just after Chinese New Year, and now it was already Mid-Autumn Festival. Qi Rongrong couldn't get out of bed halfway through the journey, but she was still worried about the unborn child of the third daughter of the Tiezhu Marquis family, and she tried to comfort the girl the entire way. "Don't worry, Ruyi. The Crown Prince won't argue with me in my current state. Naturally, whatever I say is what I say." "Tianwu lost one of his little grandsons, so it's clear that having more children is better..." "The Crown Prince will definitely listen..." The girl's initial fear had faded. Now she was filled with confidence, feeling that she too had the right to stand beside the tall and handsome Crown Prince and become the future Empress Dowager Tianlang, the enviable figure of all. "I'll listen to Your Highness..." Qi Rongrong returned to the Grand Princess's residence. The Tiezhu Marquis family had taken up residence in the Honglu Temple. The Tiezhu Marquis family was apprehensive: given their status, they weren't treated as state guests, so how could they afford to stay in the Honglu Temple? But Fu Chenan had arranged for them to stay there, heavily guarded, under the pretext of protecting the Tiezhu Marquis family. Except for the pregnant woman, the rest of the Tiezhu Marquis' family was free to come and go. They immediately arranged for someone to go out and find out the latest news in the capital. After the trip, they didn't find out anything else, but they got a shocking piece of gossip. Seven days ago, a country woman came to the door of the Duke of Lu with a child to claim her paternity, saying that the child was the son of the Duke of Lu. The Duke of Lu denied it, and the two sides started to argue. The woman cried and threatened to hang herself at the door of the Duke of Lu's mansion. The door of the Duke of Lu's mansion suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market. There were people watching the excitement, stirring up trouble, and gathering information... It was packed! Seeing that the Duke of Lu was about to pinch his nose and admit it in order to calm things down, the eldest princess Fu Siyan, who was passing by, said that there was a Western method to confirm whether the child was the son of the Duke of Lu. The method was very simple. It only required taking a drop of blood from the son of the Duke of Lu and the child to verify whether the child was the son of the Duke of Lu. At first, no one thought it was strange: Isn't it just a blood test to identify relatives? They also knew this method. But the eldest princess said that it was not like that, and that two drops of blood needed to be sent to the West to help with testing. The Duke of Lu's Mansion immediately agreed, but the woman disagreed, saying that they were all in the same group, and if they colluded to forge the evidence, it would become a fake. Fu Siyan actually came up with another method. In addition to these two drops of blood, the woman was also asked to collect blood samples, and the other two legitimate sons of the Duke of Lu also collected two drops of blood each. Then, two monks and two nuns were found from the West Mountain Temple to collect two drops of blood each. Finally, the highly respected abbot of the Huguo Temple and the dean of the Songyang Academy were invited to witness it. They each made a mark on the blood samples that no one else could see, and finally, all the blood samples were handed over to Fu Siyan to take away. It is said that the blood test results will be out today. There were nine blood samples in total: one from the father, two from legitimate sons, one from a village woman, the village woman's son, and four from monks and nuns... Could the identities of these samples be confirmed? The gossipy spirits of the people of the capital were aflame, and they all agreed to go and see the excitement. Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Tiezhu and his wife were also filled with anxiety: Should we go and see? What if it was true? So they did. The main gate of the Tianwu capital's imperial palace had now become a large square, and the LCD TV hung high beside it, attracting everyone's attention. Marquis Tiezhu had paid a large sum for a private room on the third floor of a restaurant facing the street, and he sat there to watch. Today, the case at the Duke of Lu's mansion would be publicly heard here. The loudspeaker sounded clear to everyone nearby. The president of Songyang Academy and the abbot of Huguo Temple were also present, waiting on the stage for the verdict. Nine large basins, each representing the nine blood sample codes, lay upside down on the long table. Beneath the basins were the patterns and identities of the nine blood samples. Soon, the identities of the nine blood samples would be publicly announced. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the woman wept pitifully, the child in her arms also weeping heartbreakingly. Everyone couldn't help but feel pity for the mother and daughter, and they all exclaimed, "It must be the Duke of Lu's child." Any ordinary woman who committed such a shameful act would have deserved suicide, but the fact that she had the nerve to run to the Duke of Lu's mansion to demand a legitimate status showed she was desperate... Amidst the chatter, Fu Siyan arrived bearing a report. She read out the results. "After testing, blood samples one, five, six, and eight do not match anyone else's blood samples and must be from monks and nuns." The crowd erupted in an uproar, their gaze fixed on the large basins above. The officers stepped forward and uncovered the four corresponding basins, revealing four distinct patterns. The abbot of Huguo Temple and the president of Songyang Academy exchanged a glance, then brought the woman and child forward to examine the four basins more closely. Then the abbot of Huguo Temple and the president of Songyang Academy nodded in unison: "Indeed!" The woman's face paled: "That's impossible!" "You're cheating." The abbot sighed: "Amitabha, monks don't lie. Are you questioning me, benefactor?" The people were furious: "The abbot is trustworthy!" "Indeed, the abbot is highly respected. We all trust him." The official from the Ministry of Justice shouted: "The final result hasn't even come out yet, and you're already making a fuss. Are you feeling guilty?" The woman stammered: "Perhaps they just guessed right?" Fu Siyan then continued reading. "Blood sample number seven is the mother of blood sample number two." "Blood sample number three is the father of blood samples number four and nine." As Fu Siyan spoke, the basins were unveiled one by one, revealing the patterns representing their identities. A hushed silence fell upon the audience. The official ordered all parties involved to stand in front of their respective basins and read out the conclusions again. By now, everyone understood. Number seven was the woman, and her child was number two. The Duke of Lu's son was number three, and the two legitimate sons were number four and nine. The truth was revealed: the woman's child was not the Duke of Lu's son's, and no one knew who the woman had fathered... The woman cried out in injustice, accusing officials of mutual protection and the immense power of the Duke of Lu's mansion. Seeing his reputation threatened, the Duke of Lu roared with a scowl, "Don't even accuse me of wronging you. Look who this is?" A man with disheveled hair was brought forward, and he cried out for mercy. The woman's sobs stopped in fear: "You... why are you here?" The man, with his slicked-back hair, took one look at her and began to complain: "I told you from the beginning, how could a wealthy family be so easily fooled? I told you not to come, and you didn't believe me..." The truth was revealed. The woman had framed the Duke of Lu's son because she had once worked in a restaurant and had seen the Duke of Lu's son drunk. She seized the opportunity to strip the Duke of Lu's son of state of Lu of his clothes, attempting to seduce him. However, the drunken Duke of Lu didn't react, and the attempt failed. She didn't give up, and immediately joined her lover, even taking fertility medication. She successfully conceived, and after the birth of her child, she became obsessed with blackmailing the Duke of Lu's mansion... Everyone exclaimed at the woman's vicious tactics, and even more astounded by the accuracy of the Western version of blood test. It was too accurate, wasn't it? The Marquis of Tiezhu and his wife, watching from afar in the restaurant, blanched. How could such a thing exist in the West? What was to become of their family next?
