Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 35
It was almost evening when we returned to the mansion, when the doorman in front of the general's mansion saw her coming back, he hurried forward a few steps and said: "Missy is finally back."

"What happened?" Chu Ruoying asked with some doubts.

"It's so late, the eldest lady hasn't come back yet, the general is about to send someone to Prince Jin's mansion." The doorman said quickly.

Chu Ruoying walked into the mansion quickly after hearing the words, "Father, madam, I'm back."

"Why are you back so late?" Chu Lie said with a slight frown when he saw her come back.

"Accidentally forgot the time." Chu Ruoying replied softly without further explanation.

When Chu Xiner heard the words, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she said without thinking, "Although my sister has a marriage contract, she still hasn't married. Today, my sister went out with Prince Jin for an afternoon and came back like this." It’s too late, it’s been spread out, so I’m not sure what to say!”

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly and said, "My sister is worrying too much."

Madam Ye sharp-eyed saw the blood on Chu Ruoying's cuff, and deliberately exclaimed, "Why is there blood on Yinger's cuff!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Ruoying's cuffs. A vicious dark light flashed in Chu Xiner's eyes, and she immediately rushed towards Chu Ruoying, wanting to tear off her cuffs and expose her in front of so many people. Raised her arm to see how she handles herself.

Before rushing to Chu Ruoying's side, a sharp light flashed, and Mo Yan had already placed the sword across Chu Xin'er's neck. With a little force, blood would ooze, "Whoever hurts the concubine, die!" !"

Chu Xiner was startled, and stood there trembling all over.

Madam Ye hurried forward and said, "Ying'er, don't let that man let go of your sister!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Chu Ruoying's eyes very quickly, and she said with a faint smile, "Mo Yan, let her go."

Mo Yan retracted the sword obediently, and quickly stood behind Chu Ruoying.

Chu Ruoying took a few steps forward to support Chu Xin'er, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, be careful, such a beautiful person will look ugly if her neck is stained with blood." Then she quickly backed away. Opening his body, he looked at Chu Lie with a livid face and Mrs. Ye who was looking at her fiercely, slowly raised his right hand, revealing the wounded area, and quietly said: "It's just that Ying'er accidentally got hurt today. Injury, I wasted some time when seeing a doctor, and accidentally stained my sleeve, which made Madam worry."

"It's good that Ying'er is fine." Madam Ye glanced at Mo Yan who was still standing behind her, and gritted her teeth.

After a day or two, rumors spread in the streets and alleys
"Have you heard that the eldest lady is not the general's daughter, the real eldest lady died in the fire two years ago."

"Then who is the eldest lady now?"

"Who knows, this giant's twists and turns have gone too far."

Gradually, in the Chu Mansion, there were girls and servants discussing in low voices. Chu Ruoying stood on the side of the rockery, listening to these conversations, a sneer slowly formed on the corner of her mouth, and walked towards Madam Ye's yard.

Seeing Chu Ruoying walking in, Chu Xin'er couldn't bear it any longer, she seemed to be concerned and asked, "How is sister these days?"

"Please worry about my sister, but I am fine. I wonder if my sister will sleep well that night?" Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, but what she said made Chu Xiner's body stiffen.

Madam Ye cast a sideways glance at Chu Ruoying, and said slowly, "Mom has heard a lot of rumors in recent days, Ying'er must not take it to heart."

"What Ma'am said is that the so-called rumors only stop with the wise, and Ying'er doesn't care about them." Chu Ruoying said calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Madam Ye was taken aback, as if she didn't expect Chu Ruoying to say such a thing, "It's best if Yinger thinks so."

Aunt Yun who was at the side said, "But letting the rumors spread like this is not an option. According to my concubine, it is better to let the young lady and the master test blood, so as to prove the young lady's innocence."

Madam Ye also quite agreed after hearing the words: "What Aunt Yun said is true, what does Ying'er think?"

Chu Ruoying glanced at Aunt Yun with a half-smile, the coldness in her eyes made Aunt Yun tremble, as if she had discovered something, she looked away unnaturally.

"Nature is a good way."

In the early morning of the next day, in the backyard of the General's Mansion
"I heard that the general is going to have a blood test with the eldest lady today, to dispel the rumors."

"Yes, did you say that Missy is the general's daughter?"

"The eldest lady has an extraordinary bearing, and she is almost as imaginable as the original wife. Besides, the eldest lady has agreed, so there is nothing fake."

The people below whispered to each other, Chu Ruoying walked in from the outside of the courtyard, looked at the servants in the courtyard, and walked to the middle with a faint smile.

Not long after, Chu Lie and Mrs. Ye came to the courtyard with the family members of the mansion.

"Ying'er came early today." Madam Ye saw Chu Ruoying standing there quietly when she entered the courtyard, her eyes flashed involuntarily.

"Ying'er met my father, ma'am." Chu Ruoying blessed her body respectfully, and then said with a smile: "After all, I'm here to prove Ying'er's innocence, so naturally I have to arrive early."

"Father, let's start." Chu Ruoying stepped forward slowly, looked at Chu Lie and said calmly.

Chu Lie just glanced at her indifferently, "Wait a minute."

But after a while, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted: "Shizi Jin is here."

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked, and they looked at Chu Ruoying involuntarily, thinking that if she was found to be a fake, Prince Jin would definitely not let her go.

Mu Ziyuan strode into the courtyard, looked around the courtyard, and walked to Chu Ruoying's side without hesitation, and said in a low voice, "General Chu asked for this son, why?"

Standing aside, Chu Xiner looked at Mu Ziyuan's black robe and black cloak, which gave people a sense of indifference and arrogance. At that moment, her cheeks were quickly stained with rosy clouds, and she walked forward in small steps, even talking. Her demeanor is also much more charming, "Xin'er has seen the prince."

Mu Ziyuan frowned slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Chu Xin'er impatiently, but when Mu Ziyuan's eyes fell on her, Chu Xiner's heartbeat quickened unconsciously, thinking that Chu Ruoying would be gone soon. He will be disliked by Prince Jin, and his heart is a little more determined, "I'm afraid that Prince Jin doesn't know, but Dad wants to do a blood test with sister to prove her identity."

Mu Ziyuan's eyes sank, and he glanced coldly at the person standing in front of him, then glanced at Chu Ruoying, who was calm and composed, and felt a pain in his heart, that was the person he wanted to hold in his hands, that was him How could Chu Chu, who swore to protect her forever, be willing to be insulted like this.

As if sensing his gaze, Chu Ruoying turned her head, stared at him for a while, and then smiled faintly.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's start now." Chu Lie looked at the people in the courtyard and said in a majestic voice.

"Come here, fetch a bowl of water!"

Soon, a third-class maid came over with clear water, and gently placed it on the table in the middle.

Chu Lie cut his finger quickly, dripped a drop of blood into the bowl, Chu Ruoying walked forward slowly, picked up the knife quietly, and cut his finger under the eyes of everyone, the bright red blood "crack!" It dripped into the bowl with a bang.

In the clear water, two drops of bright red blood stood out, staying firmly in the water without any sign of compatibility.

Everyone present suddenly wanted to explode the pot, whispering.

"Look, the blood doesn't blend!"

"Miss is really not the general's daughter?"

Among the crowd, there were many who gloated about their misfortune, and some who had received her favor watched with concern.

Madam Ye and Aunt Yun suddenly showed a smile of success, and Chu Xiner even said loudly: "Your Majesty Jin, she is not my father's daughter!"

"Come on, grab this fake woman!" Aunt Yun shouted loudly.

When Mu Ziyuan, who was standing there with his hands behind his back, heard these words, his breath suddenly sank, and he walked towards Chu Ruoying suddenly, with a very faint bloodlust in his eyes.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Chu Xiner was overjoyed. Thinking about what happened, Prince Jin would be furious, and maybe he would kill her in a fit of anger.

Everyone also focused on the scene in front of them, for fear of missing half a point.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ziyuan stepped forward, pulled Chu Ruoying to stand behind her, and looked coldly at the servant who was about to step forward with a stick, "I'll see who dares to touch her!"

Chu Xiner was taken aback when she saw this, thinking that Mu Ziyuan was confused, she couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty Jin, that woman is not my sister, she is a fake!"

Violence rose in Mu Ziyuan's eyes, and he raised his right hand to pat Chu Xin'er. Chu Ruoying raised her hand to hold his hand, and took a step forward. Her voice was faint, but everyone couldn't help but be quiet. down.

Chu Ruoying was wearing a long light blue dress, standing there with a calm expression, holding Mu Ziyuan's generous palm with one hand, and holding the water bowl with the other, she smiled slightly, and said lightly: "In this world, there is something that can be put into water. After all, blood doesn't mix, alum."

Hearing this, everyone was startled, Mrs. Ye's complexion suddenly sank, and Aunt Yun's complexion was pale.

"You're talking nonsense, how do you know that alum has been added to the water?" Chu Xiner pointed at her and said sharply.

"When alum meets water, there will be white flocculent sediment." Chu Ruoying slowly put down the water bowl, and her eyes lightly passed over Aunt Yun who was standing stiffly beside her.

"Li Li, go get a bowl of water." Chu Lie said to his confidant beside him with a livid face.

Li Li went away in response, and soon got back a bowl of clear water. Aunt Yun looked at everything in disbelief, how could it be...
The blood of the two places dripped into the water again, and the blood of the two places quickly fused together in the clear water.

Chu Lie's face was gloomy, and he picked up the water bowl and threw it at Aunt Yun. Unprepared, Aunt Yun was hit by the water bowl.

Concubine Yun's forehead had blood slowly flowing down, Concubine Yun knelt on the ground in a panic, and cried pitifully: "I don't know what I did wrong."

"Tell me why the water brought by the girl next to you is incompatible." Chu Lie said in a deep voice.

Aunt Yun hurriedly looked at the girl who just brought the water, and shouted: "I don't know about this!" Then she looked at the maid and shouted: "You bastard, who on earth ordered you to do this to frame me like this? !"

The girl knelt on the ground in panic, looked at Chu Lie and kowtowed, and shouted: "General Mingchao, I have no slaves, I really haven't done anything!" After a while, the girl's face was covered with blood.

Chu Lie looked at her indifferently, and said coldly, "Pull her down and kill her!"

"Wait a minute!" Chu Ruoying said loudly, "Father, can I handle this matter myself?"

Chu Lie nodded with a sullen face.

Only then did everyone turn to the biggest victim of this incident. Chu Ruoying stepped forward and asked the girl who was already limp on the ground, "You said you never did it, do you dare to swear to the sky?"

"Young maidservant dare, I have never done this before." The girl seemed to sense the turning point, raised her head and said without hesitation.

"Okay." Chu Ruoying's eyes flashed with admiration, she looked at the girl who had calmed down in front of her, and asked, "I saw other people on the way you brought the water."

The girl lowered her head and thought for a while before she said: "Yes, this servant saw Yingxue, the big maid beside Aunt Yun."

"Okay, what happened after we met?" Chu Ruoying continued to ask.

"Yingxue said a few words to the servant girl, then picked up the bowl and looked at it." The girl said hastily.

Chu Ruoying nodded and looked at everyone, "Where is Yingxue?"

"The servant is here." Yingxue stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said.

"But you put alum in the bowl?" Chu Ruoying asked quietly.

"No slaves."

"Really?" Chu Ruoying walked slowly to her side, knelt down and picked up her right hand, looked at the tip of her index finger, and said with a chuckle, "Then what is this?"

Yingxue's face turned pale immediately, and she knelt on the ground and shouted to Aunt Yun, "Auntie, save me, I always do things according to Auntie's orders!"

Aunt Yun was furious and shouted at Yingxue: "Yingxue, I think I treat you kindly, but now you are slandering me like this, it really hurts my heart!"

"Aunt Yun, it's clearly the alum that you asked your servant to buy at the pharmacy!" Yingxue looked at Aunt Yun in disbelief and said.

"When did I let you go to the pharmacy! Master, it's this lowly maid who slandered me!" Aunt Yun looked at Chu Lie, tears streaming down her face, and said pitifully.

"Enough!" Chu Lie shouted sharply with a livid complexion.

Chu Ruoying just stood up and walked to the center of the yard, "Since I entered the mansion, my aunt has been facing each other everywhere, and now she is framed like this." As she spoke, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips intentionally or unintentionally. He lowered his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

Mu Ziyuan kept looking at her, and saw that there was a faint sadness lingering around her body, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, he took a few steps forward, and gently hugged Chu Ruoying into his arms.

Seeing this, Chu Lie's face became more serious, and he said sharply: "Yingxue framed the daughter-in-law, and she was responsible for a hundred times. Aunt Yun's family, regardless of superiority and inferiority, was ineffective in discipline. No one is allowed to visit!"

Yun's face turned pale immediately, and she was reduced to a lowly concubine. How should she survive in the mansion? Yingxue just slumped on the ground, and she was going to beat her to death. She cried and turned towards Yun Auntie rushed over, "Why didn't you save me!" Aunt Yun hurriedly stretched out her hand to push, and the two immediately wrestled into a ball.

Chu Ruoying stuck her head out of Mu Ziyuan's arms, watching the farce in front of her, the sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but it was hard to hide the desolation in her eyes.
