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

Liu Youcai's heart inexplicably quickened.

When Liu Aniu saw the clothes he was dressed in, he was amazed by the quality of the fabric he had ever seen before. He exclaimed, "These clothes are too good! If I were to damage them, I couldn't afford to pay for them!"

Marquis Xuanwu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. "Child, wear it. This isn't made of any fine material. Just wear it however you like, it doesn't matter if you ruin it."

Liu Aniu glanced at him, meeting his similar features, and silently lowered his head, beginning to put on his clothes.

The old Marquis Xuanwu stood aside, nodding repeatedly as he watched. He was indeed his grandson; his grandson was just like him, both in appearance and personality.

After Liu Aniu got dressed, the three of them went to the outer room. When the village chief saw Liu Aniu's clothes, he was amazed and thought he looked like a completely different person. His eyes widened in surprise.

The frostbite and cracks on Liu Aniu's hands from the past have now disappeared thanks to the healing effect of the Life Essence Liquid, leaving his hands fair and clean.

Years of hard work and exposure to wind and sun have made my face fair and clean.

"My child, my child!" As soon as Liu Aniu came out, Lady Xuanwu, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

Liu Aniu's body stiffened, but the moment he was embraced by the Lady of Xuanwu, his heart inexplicably trembled and his nose stung with tears.

He stared blankly at the tears of the Lady of Xuanwu and the warm embrace. From childhood to adulthood, Lu Zhaodi had never hugged him before.

He was injured, but she didn't even glance at him.

But the lady before him, exuding an air of nobility, made him feel a warmth he should have had.

"My child, I am your mother. It's all my fault for not protecting you properly..."

Liu Aniu looked bewildered.

Marquis Xuanwu stepped forward, embraced his wife, and looked at Liu Aniu with red eyes, saying, "Child, although you may be surprised, we really are your biological parents."

Back then, you were switched at birth by thieves, and only recently did we discover that the son we raised was not our biological child.

But our biological son has disappeared without a trace.

After much investigation, we finally found this place. Child, you are our long-lost son!

Liu Aniu understood. He remained silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not surprised."

The Liu family had never treated him well since he was a child, and he always thought it was because he was unpopular. But now, he understands everything.

But... "How are you going to prove that I am your biological son?"

"Child, you look just like me!" the old Marquis Xuanwu said immediately.

Liu Aniu glanced at the old Marquis Xuanwu and said, "There are many people who look alike."

Marquis Xuanwu: "..." With such a stubborn personality, he wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't his grandson!

Instead of being angry at being refuted, the old Marquis Xuanwu grinned.

"We have our own methods to verify your lineage."

Marquis Xuanwu took out the remaining parentage potion from the last time.

"If a stranger drips blood into this medicine, the medicine will not change color. But if it is the blood of a biological father and son, the medicine will turn bright red."

After saying that, he bit his finger and dripped blood into it, then looked at the people around him.

Lady Xuanwu said, "I'll do it!"

Lady Xuanwu also dripped her blood into the solution, and the blood of the couple was added together, yet the medicine remained blue.

Marquis Xuanwu dripped blood again and looked at Liu Aniu.

Liu Aniu looked at the medicine with curiosity, then decisively bit his finger and let his blood drip in.

In no time, the blue medicine turned as bright as blood.

His pupils trembled, and he looked at Marquis Xuanwu with a complicated expression.

Marquis Xuanwu was looking at him with red eyes.

Beside her, Lady Xuanwu covered her mouth and choked out a sob.

Liu Youcai, who had been silently watching all this, changed his expression. He walked to the village chief and asked, "Village chief, are they really A Niu's biological parents?"

The village chief looked at him with pity. "Liu Youcai, if you had treated Aniu a little better, what a blessing that would have been!"

Liu Youcai's face turned deathly pale, then his eyes hardened, and he said, "We raised him. If it weren't for us, he would have died long ago!"

The old village chief glanced at him and said nothing more.

Just then, Lu Zhaodi's shrill voice came from outside.

"They're right here, Chang Shen. Come and see! They were just about to draw their swords and kill me. You know the county magistrate, let's go and sue them!"

As the voices were spoken, Lu Zhaodi and a young man walked in.

The young man was none other than Lu Changshen, the former clerk of the Ministry of Revenue who had been dismissed from his post.

Lu Changshen said, "Don't worry, Aunt, with me here, I won't let them bully you for nothing..."

Before Lu Changshen could finish speaking, he saw a group of people inside the room.

His steps faltered instantly, his vision went black, and when he came to his senses, he had already knelt down with a thud.

"This humble subject, Lu Changshen, pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Anguo, and Marquis Xuanwu..."

He heard his own voice trembling.

There was a moment of silence, followed by several thuds of knees hitting the ground.

The village chief knelt on the ground, trembling, some in shock, some in excitement.

Crown Prince, Princess, Marquis... Good heavens!

He actually met such an extraordinary person!

Liu Youcai and Lu Zhaodi were even more dumbfounded.

"Village chief, please get up." The prince walked up to the village chief and personally helped him up.

The village chief was so excited that he was helped up by the prince, who smiled exceptionally handsomely and said, "Village chief, no need for formalities. We'll trouble you to lead the way for us this time."

"Of course, of course..." the village chief said repeatedly.

Liu Youcai and Lu Zhaodi knelt on the ground and waited and waited, hoping that the Crown Prince would come and help them up in person.

But no, it didn't happen.

All they got was—

"Liu Youcai, Lu Zhaodi, we have proven that A Niu is our biological son, and he is the heir of my Xuanwu Marquis's mansion!"

Today, we're taking him home!

Marquis Xuanwu said coldly.

Lu Zhaodi suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Liu Aniu. This bastard was the heir of the Marquis's mansion?

How is that possible!

This bastard doesn't even deserve it?

But then she was overjoyed. "Ah Niu, I really didn't expect that you would be the heir of the Marquis's mansion!"

Over the years, your mother has raised you with great difficulty, changing your diapers and feeding you every drop of water. It hasn't been easy. We were poor, and you're our only son. Your parents were strict with you before, but it was all for your own good!

Liu Aniu looked at them indifferently.

Lady Xuanwu sneered, "We already know how you treated Aniu. Everyone in Xiaoxi Village has eyes."

If you have treated Ah Niu well since he was a child, you are Ah Niu's adoptive parents, and we will naturally not treat you badly.

But you treat Ah Niu like a laborer, not even feeding or clothing him properly. If Ah Niu hadn't been lucky, how could he have survived until now?

"No, that's not it, Madam. Don't listen to the nonsense from those villagers. It's not true. Ah Niu, tell me quickly, how have your parents treated you since you were little?"

Lu Zhaodi looked at Liu Aniu with a sincere expression, her eyes overflowing with affection.

Liu Aniu looked at her silently. This was the first time he had ever seen 'compassion' in Lu Zhaodi's eyes since he could remember.

Liu Aniu said, "You took me in. Without you, I might have died."

Lu Zhaodi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes..."

A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Youcai's eyes. It's good that Ah Niu remembers the kindness.

Liu Aniu then said, "But I've been working and serving your family since I was four years old. I've been like an ox or a horse, yet I've never had enough to eat or wear. I think I've already repaid your kindness!"

Lu Zhaodi's expression froze instantly, then turned ferocious.

He wants to just walk away and leave them behind? Dream on!

"Lord Zhong," the Crown Prince began, stroking his chin, "doesn't this Lu Zhaodi look like someone?"

Marquis Xuanwu was taken aback, his sharp eyes shooting towards Lu Zhaodi.

A moment later, his expression suddenly changed.

"She...that beast looks six or seven parts like her!"

The crown prince nodded. "That's right! This is truly interesting!"
