Chapter 262: The Marquis's Mansion Makes Trouble
Soon someone took the tray away, and then brought two other bowls of water. They asked Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang to come over and drop a drop of blood into each bowl.
Then he grabbed Xu Jinran, and regardless of whether he agreed or not, he cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into each bowl.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood what the old princess meant.
"Oops..."
“It’s melting…”
"They are indeed brothers..."
"It seems that this matter cannot be false..."
Everyone was in a commotion and sighed.
The old woman came forward with a tray and showed the old princess, the clan leader, and several other adults the situation in the two bowls. Sure enough, it was different from before. The blood and water in the bowls had quickly merged into one.
At this point, Xu Jinran was no longer able to argue for himself. After the old women let him go, he sat down on the ground in a daze.
"Everyone saw it clearly just now, right? The results of this blood test are out. Since the princess asked us to come here to be witnesses, then..."
Several adults discussed it and decided that Lord Yao should announce the result.
"Wait a moment!"
At this critical moment, a woman's loud shout was heard outside the hall, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
“Dad! Dad…”
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Call a doctor quickly..."
"Msang Gong...Msien Gong..."
Following a shrill scream, a woman rushed in with a child.
Several people threw themselves on Xu Jinran, crying and shouting. It was Qin from the third room who arrived with her two children.
"Grandma, why did you do this to my father? Why did you do this to our third room..."
Xu Letie looked tearful and fell at the old princess's feet.
"Please send someone to rescue my father quickly. From now on, our third room will listen to you. If you don't allow us to go out, we won't go out. If you don't allow us to talk too much, we will pretend to be mute..."
"Wuwuwu... I beg you to forgive my father just this once. He is in poor health and can't stand the slightest torture..."
“Wow wow wow…Grandma, please spare me…”
Not only did Xu Letie cry and beg, she also pulled Xu Yuxuan down to kneel down with her.
For a moment, the only sounds in the entire hall were the crying of her and her brother.
"Mother, my husband and I have been filial to you all these years. Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. How can you not be so cruel to us..."
Seeing that Xu Jinran was fine, Qin also knelt down in front of the old princess, hugged the two children on her left and right, and cried her heart out.
What she didn't say was that she married Xu Jinran purely because of his status as the third master of Prince Ning's Mansion. Now, after such a commotion, Xu Jinran became a worthless countryman. Was she, the daughter of a distinguished marquis's family, going to become a peasant?
This not only damaged the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, but also made her two children unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
Even she herself didn't have the face to see her old close friends again.
Therefore, even if it was confirmed that Xu Jinran was not the old princess' biological son, she would still strive to continue staying in Prince Ning's Mansion and absolutely would not be driven out.
With such a big thing happening, of course she would ask for help from her mother's family. When she came here before, she had already sent someone back to deliver a letter to her mother and brother and sister-in-law. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably be able to come here soon.
Qin's prediction was correct. The commotion had only lasted for a while, and the old princess was about to have them dragged out when someone came to report that someone from the Qin family of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion had arrived.
This time, not only the Marquis and his wife came, but also Old Lady Qin brought a large group of people and rushed in aggressively.
"My daughter is marrying into the Qin family, not some country bumpkin. You dare to insult her like this, which means you don't take the Pingnan Marquisate seriously..."
Old Mrs. Qin had been feeling very depressed at home during this period. When she heard today that her daughter had encountered such a big thing, she felt that she was right and finally found an outlet to vent her anger. She pointed at the old princess and started to scold her.
"My sister has been implicated in this matter from beginning to end. Even if you, the Ning Wang Mansion, want to deal with family affairs, you have to consider my sister and my nephews and nieces."
Pingnan Hou stood in the middle of the hall with a sullen expression. Looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
When he received the news before, he thought that the old princess just had some doubts about Xu Jinran's identity, and thought that she just needed to make things clear, but who would have thought that so many people would be invited.
Doesn’t that mean that today’s events will soon spread to everyone in the capital?
Marquis Pingnan and his wife looked at each other, and both of them looked unhappy.
If Xu Jinran was really kicked out of Prince Ning's mansion, what would happen to Qin, who was married out of his mansion?
Should I decisively break up with the man I have been sleeping with for more than ten years, or should I follow him wholeheartedly and go out to start my own business?
It can be imagined that no matter what choice Qin makes, she will become a laughing stock among the people in the capital.
The two of them had made a decision in their hearts at this moment. No matter what, they had to let the old princess keep Xu Jinran's family today.
At this time, they still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that after all, the mother and son had been living together for decades. Even if they found out that they were not biological mother and son, they would not become enemies and leave them no chance of survival, right?
Besides, Xu Letie is already at the age to get married, and Xu Yuxuan is also smart and clever, so maybe he will have great luck in the future.
"We are all family, why do we have to make such a fuss?"
Pingnan Hou sighed and advised the old princess:
"Raising a child is not easy. Moreover, you not only raised him, but also arranged for him to get married and have children. Now you have a happy family. Isn't it good for you to have many grandchildren?"
His eyes flickered, and there was more to say.
Isn't it good to just stop and start?
Why do we need to go through so much trouble?
"My daughter has been giving birth to children for your Xu family since she married into Prince Ning's Mansion. Now you are bullying her to the point of no return. You simply don't take our Ping'an Marquis Mansion seriously. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will sue you in the Golden Palace even if I have to sacrifice my life..."
Seeing that the old princess remained silent, Old Lady Qin became excited and started shouting at the old princess, pointing at her.
"Hehe...give me an explanation, right?"
After Old Lady Qin had been making a fuss for a long time, the old princess glanced at her coldly and waved to Nanny Lin.
"Doesn't her mansion want an explanation? Bring it here so that everyone can take a good look at it..."
