Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Everyone blinked, blinked, and blinked again.

Even after half an incense stick's time had passed, the medicine in the bottle was still blue.

"It really didn't change color!"

Old Ding said.

He and Lao Liu were not related by blood, let alone by parent-child relationship.

He and Lao Liu were born in the same year, so naturally neither of them could be the other's father.

"Who else is willing to try?" Ying Yufu asked.

The old Marquis Weiyuan said, "Princess Anguo, I will test it. Didn't you say that this potion can only change color between father and son? Even if they are from different generations, it cannot change color. Since that's the case, then I and that beast will test it."

Ying Yufu nodded: "Okay!"

The old Marquis Xuanwu immediately cut his finger and let the blood seep in, then walked toward Zhong Xingchu.

Zhong Xingchu retreated repeatedly, his face filled with terror. "No, no, Grandfather, I'm afraid of pain, Grandfather, don't believe her grandfather..."

A hint of ferocity flashed in the old Marquis Xuanwu's eyes. How dare this beast be his grandson?

Before, he had no choice, but now, he would rather the Zhong family line end than have this beast as his grandson.

Without any mercy, he cut Zhong Xingchu's finger and dragged him to drip the blood into the medicine.

This time, after waiting for about half an incense stick's time, the medicine still did not change color.

Marquis Xuanwu then said, "Princess Anguo, we believe you. Now I will test this by dripping my blood with this beast."

Ying Yufu nodded.

Zhong Xingchu wailed as he was cut again, blood dripping into the wound.

Marquis Xuanwu also dripped his own blood into it.

After another period of waiting, the medicine still did not change color.

If Ying Yufu's statement is true, it is enough to prove that the two are not related by blood.

Ying Yufu coughed lightly and said, "Old Marquis, I would like to trouble you and Marquis Xuanwu to also drip your blood into the medicine at the same time and try it."

The old Marquis Xuanwu and the Marquis Xuanwu exchanged a glance, and for some reason, a hint of awkwardness flashed in their eyes.

What if their blood doesn't change color either? Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

Won't the coffin lids of their deceased wives/mothers be about to burst open?

Although it was somewhat awkward, the two still poured their blood into each other's flesh.

This time, without even waiting for half an incense stick's time, the blue medicine turned red, as bright as blood.

hiss!

A gasp came from the crowd.

"It changed color! It really changed color! Even biological fathers and sons can change their tune!"

Both the old Marquis Xuanwu and the Marquis Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.

Fortunately, the coffin lid of their deceased wife/mother landed on top of it.

But this also proves that Marquis Xuanwu and Zhong Xingchu were indeed not biological father and son.

"No, this potion must be fake. It's a setup to frame me. I don't believe it!"

Zhong Xingchu was unwilling to acknowledge this fact.

He only played with a few lowly children, so why do these people insist on digging into the matter and framing him like this? Even his family would rather disown him.

He roared, "Even if this potion is real, what if, what if I was born from my mother's infidelity?!"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Xuanwu's face immediately turned ashen.

Lady Xuanwu was so enraged that she stumbled, her eyes blazing with fury. She lunged forward and slapped Zhong Xingchu across the face, yelling, "You beast!"

She slapped him hard.

Zhong Xing felt dizzy and saw stars before his eyes. He vaguely saw the Lady of Xuanwu Marquis talking to the woman who had harmed him.

Ying Yufu was both amused and exasperated after hearing the story told by the Lady of Xuanwu.

The lady earnestly asked her to get another bottle of medicine so that she and Zhong Xingchu could also get tested.

Otherwise, she feared that Marquis Xuanwu would suspect her.

Marquis Xuanwu said, "Madam, I have no doubt about you. How can we believe that beast's words? This medicine must be a precious item; it really shouldn't be wasted like this..."

"No problem." Ying Yufu was very generous; she bought another parenting potion, exactly the same as the previous one.

She said, "Madam, let's begin."

Lady Xuanwu was also a woman of strong character; without batting an eye, she cut her finger and let the blood drip inside.

Meanwhile, Marquis Xuanwu angrily cut a new gash on Zhong Xingchu's hand, causing it to bleed.

Actually, the two wounds were still bleeding, but they clearly hated Zhong Xingchu so much that they examined him three times and cut his hand three times.

This time, after waiting for half an incense stick's time, the medicine still did not change color.

Lady Xuanwu was completely heartbroken and murmured, "He really isn't my biological son. That's wonderful, wonderful..."

She was crying and laughing at the same time, her expression extremely complicated.

Zhong Xingchu stared blankly at the bottle of blue medicine that hadn't changed color, then collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected, his face filled with despair.

"How could this happen... how could this happen..."

"Hahahaha—"

"Okay, okay! That's good, that's good!"

The old Marquis of Xuanwu laughed heartily, a mixture of sorrow and joy.

"This beast isn't of the Zhong family bloodline, that's really good!"

"No, no, Grandfather, even if I'm not of the Zhong family bloodline, I was raised by you all. How can you be so heartless towards me?"

Zhong Xingchu roared in frustration.

"We're heartless? Look at the beastly things you've done! We truly regret raising you all these years. And you dare to talk about feelings with us?"

Marquis Xuanwu angrily kicked him again.

Zhong Xingchu let out a miserable howl and was kicked three meters away again.

It has to be said that Marquis Xuanwu's fighting prowess is comparable to that of his father, the old Marquis Xuanwu, and they even kick people in the exact same way.

Ying Yufu handed the new bottle of medicine to Lady Xuanwu and said, "Madam, please keep this bottle of medicine. You can test it again after we find your biological child."

Lady Xuanwu did not refuse and generously accepted it. She looked at Ying Yufu gratefully and said, "Princess, you are a great benefactor to our Xuanwu Marquis's family. If it weren't for you, our family would have been kept in the dark forever."

"Yes, Princess Anguo, from today onwards, you are the benefactor of our Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion. In the future, whenever you need anything, the Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion will certainly not refuse."

Marquis Xuanwu stepped forward with a grateful expression and said.

The old Marquis Xuanwu also showed gratitude, saying, "Princess Anguo, please accept my bow!"

As he spoke, he clasped his hands in a bow.

Ying Yufu was faster than him, pulling him up in one swift motion. "Old Marquis, you mustn't! This junior is unworthy of such an honor."

Even a military general like the old Marquis Xuanwu felt a powerful and steady force coming from her hand.

He stared blankly at Ying Yufu, looking at her delicate white hands and then at his own tall and strong body, feeling somewhat bewildered.

He blinked. Was it just his imagination?

Ying Yufu had no idea what kind of shock she had brought to the old Marquis Xuanwu. She continued, "Old Marquis, after you return today, you should thoroughly investigate the situation from back then and see if there are any people who know the truth."

The old Marquis of Xuanwu said solemnly, "Very well!"

He turned to Lord Feng and said, "Lord Feng, although this beast is not the biological son of our Lord Xuanwu, he harmed people by relying on the power of our Lord Xuanwu mansion. I will plead guilty to His Majesty. In addition, the Lord Xuanwu mansion is willing to provide silver to compensate the families of the victims."

I know that making amends is useless, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, and this is all we can do.

As for that beast, he deserves to die ten thousand times over!

Lord Feng said, "Old Lord, there is no need to blame yourself too much. The Xuanwu Marquis's mansion has probably been set up by someone."
