Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 298 Public Verification
"Master Gu? Before the gambling game officially begins, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. As a person, you should not be too honest, because honest people will be bullied.

But it can't be too bad. Some things should be done in moderation. As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable. If something is out of control, the consequences may make people regretful.

I know that Lord Gu is not short of money, but no amount of money can buy you the medicine for regret.

Lord Gu is now a second-rank official, right? It must not be easy to sit in this position. If he falls down, he probably won't be able to climb up again.

Alas, if that is the case, it is really a pity!" Hong Xiaoduo looked at Lord Gu very sincerely.

When Gu Liuyi heard her talking to her father like that, he got annoyed again. Just as he was about to retort, he saw his father glaring at him.

"Son, don't you think it's inappropriate for your father to have a verbal battle with a girl like her?" He muttered softly.

Lord Gu looked at Hong Xiaoduo and said, "I don't know who you are, but I just want to ask you, since you know that you should be honest, why do you treat Lord Wei like this?

You just said that it is not easy for me to reach the rank of Second Grade, but how come I don’t know that it is equally difficult for Lord Wei.

You used a secret technique to say that the child that Lord Wei had found earlier was a fake designed by someone with ulterior motives. So, if I am not mistaken, this child was brought by you, right?
What was your purpose in doing this? Were you greedy for Lord Wei's wealth and wanted to wipe out his family? Or was it because his father and son were officials, and you wanted to plant a child here, and then slowly change your identity as a Jianghu person?

It is true that Lord Wei and I have not been on good terms in the past, but even so, I really cannot bear to see you deceive and trick him with such a thing.

Little girl, I see that you are young, so I will give you one more chance. Don't make the same mistake again. As long as you admit your mistake, this farce will end. I can guarantee that Lord Wei will not make things difficult for you."

Hong Xiaoduo started laughing as she listened, and gave Lord Gu a thumbs up: "As expected of a second-rank minister, Lord Gu, what kind of person are you? Your thoughts and purpose today are known to heaven and earth, you know it, I know it, and the guests here know it too. Even so, Lord Gu can still say such righteous and stern words. I have learned a lot. Well, let's not waste time, let's see who will be the last one to refuse."

Hong Xiaoduo's words once again made all the guests gasp. Who is this girl?

So crazy? Who gave her the confidence?
Obviously, it is definitely not Lord Wei, and it cannot be Prince Mu!

Mu Rongjing looked at Hong Xiaoduo and thought, is this what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes? Judging from her attitude, she probably wouldn't be restrained even in front of the emperor.

Doesn't she know fear? Or is it because she has never suffered any loss?

Compared with other guests, the Wei family, young and old, did not think she was aggressive. This is how she should treat Minister Gu.

Not only did they not think she was arrogant and reckless, but they even felt it was quite satisfying.

"Lord Gu, this girl is young and ignorant. Her words were offensive. Lord Gu should not hold it against her." Lord Wei spoke and threw back what Lord Gu had said before.

Lord Gu smiled, a fake smile, and thought to himself, don't be anxious, you will regret it and cry later.

After waiting for so many years, I can finally vent my anger.

What does it matter if you, Wei Junpei, are an honest official? Today, I will make you lose all face and never be able to raise your head again.

Even if that thing fails, it doesn't matter, because my goal has been achieved.

Besides, before the end, that thing may not necessarily fail.

If the original plan was successful, he would patiently wait for Wei to be happy for a few years, and when the right opportunity came, he would bring up the matter and tell the old man the truth. This would surely make him so angry that he would vomit blood, and even if he didn't die, he would be almost dead.

As for his son, Lord Xiao Wei, that depends on his mood.

"May I ask this master, what preparations are needed for your secret technique? Altar? Incense and candles?" Gu Liu spoke again, in a sarcastic tone.

Hong Xiaoduo glanced at him and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Just shut up and keep quiet."

"Since we are identifying blood relatives, could someone please take the trouble to help me take the fingernails of the two people who need to be identified? Uncle, please tell them in detail how to do it." Hong Xiaoduo said.

Upon hearing this, Lord Wei asked her in a low voice: "Just the fingernails?"

Hong Xiaoduo knew what he meant, and responded with a smile, "We can't reveal everything to the outside world. We need to keep some backup plans in case of any emergency."

After hearing this, Lord Wei suddenly realized and was also very moved. In her heart, she was his own person.

Hong Xiaoduo turned around and talked to Kaiyang, and heard Lord Gu and his son doing something weird again. They said that in order to prevent cheating, they would select a few people to supervise the whole process.

Lord Wei did not agree on his own, but looked at Hong Xiaoduo to see her decision. "Sure, although Lord Gu is the one who made the bet with me, if you want to supervise it in person, that's fine too." Hong Xiaoduo said generously.

He just has to participate, so that he can't question the results.

Hong Xiaoduo was not afraid of his tricks at all. Looking at his determined expression, she knew that he didn't believe that she had such a secret skill.

Hearing her say this, Lord Gu couldn't help but ponder in his heart, could it be that he really knows that secret technique?
This thought flashed through his mind for a moment, but he immediately rejected it rationally. How could it be possible?

I have never heard of such a thing. She is so confident. Is it possible that she is cheating in her so-called secret technique?
Among the people in the underworld, besides those who just fight and kill, there are also those who make a living by cheating people out of money using strange and lewd skills.

Just like some people know the so-called magic tricks, in fact, they just take advantage of people's unpreparedness and secretly release medicinal fragrance that can make people enter a hallucination.

He had experienced this kind of thing himself many years ago.

Want to use this trick on him now? Haha, it's useless! He has eaten more salt than she has eaten rice, and walked more bridges than she has walked roads. How dare a little girl fight him?
Then teach her, let her know that not all people who travel around the world are knights, there are also brainless fools and reckless men!
Hong Xiaoduo heard Minister Gu asking if anyone was willing to jointly supervise this matter.

As a result, all the guests remained silent. It was not because they were cautious and timid and afraid of offending Lord Gu, but because they were not sure whether their participation in this matter would be beneficial or detrimental to Lord Wei.

If it is really confirmed that this young lady's so-called secret technique is a scam, then Lord Gu wins the bet and Lord Wei will have to kowtow to him three times!
"Count me as one of the princes." Mu Rongjing spoke.

This time, Princess Fenglin just looked at her son in silence. Any warnings or reminders were in vain.

"Since no one is willing to participate, let me be one of them." Eunuch Fu, who was sitting at the top, also spoke.

Apart from that, no one else spoke out. Three people were actually enough to supervise this matter.

"This great lady, should you step aside for a moment?" Minister Gu asked.

"Forget it, I'll leave your sight. When the results come out, someone might question it. I might as well just stay here and cover my eyes.

"Master Gu, how about this?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

Minister Gu agreed and decided that it would be safer to keep the main parties involved within his sight.

So Qi ordered someone to bring a palm-wide cotton strip, had the three inspectors check it, and then covered Hong Xiao's eyes with it.

Gu Liu suggested a three-layer one, so it was changed to a three-layer one.

Hong Xiaoduo gestured to change the direction of the chair and sat with her back to the crowd.

In order to prevent the man surnamed Gu from saying anything more, Lord Wei signaled his wife, son, daughter-in-law and his beloved grandson Kaiyang to stand far away.

Following Lord Wei's instructions, Mu Rongjing and the other two walked among the guests, looking for those who were father and son, brothers, mother and son, or sisters. They took the fingernails of each of them, wrapped them in paper, marked them with a pen, and then recorded on the paper which package of nails was from whom.

At this time, no one would say that one is unfilial if one dares not damage one's body and hair, which are given by one's parents.

As for nails, they have to be trimmed when they grow long.

In front of so many people, there is no need to worry about it being taken away and used for malicious curses or something.

What's more, everyone wants to see whether this so-called secret technique of identifying blood relatives is true.

"Junpei, is this really okay?" The old patriarch couldn't help it anymore, and asked in a trembling low voice.

He just arrived yesterday, and he just found out about the real and fake child.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I, your grandson, will not bring shame to our Wei family." Wei Junpei comforted.

According to seniority, you have to call this grandpa.

Not long after, a dozen paper packages containing nails that were deliberately mixed up were sent to Hong Xiaoduo by three people.

Hong Xiaoduo stood up, and Wei Junpei ordered someone to bring a large cushion and put it on the ground. Hong Xiaoduo sat cross-legged on it facing the hundreds of guests and stretched out her hands. The three men hurriedly put the paper bag in her hands, and then they stood by and watched her movements closely.

Hong Xiaoduo clasped her hands together, and her mind entered the space...
