Under the lamplight, Shen Minghui personally drew a basin of clean water from the well, squeezed a drop of blood from his wound into the basin, and coldly looked at Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei: "Drip the blood!"
The servants were terrified by Shen Minghui's invisible tyranny, and dared not approach him, yet they were also curious and did not want to leave, so they stood at a distance and whispered among themselves.
"What happened?"
"have no idea."
"I was doing laundry when the master, along with the young lady and the young master, stormed over and kicked us all out..."
"Dad, we are all your own children, why don't you believe us?" Shen Yelei frowned tightly, pouted, and reluctantly unwrapped his bandaged wound, squeezing out a drop of blood into the water.
If someone doubts him, he will not hesitate to punch them, crippling or injuring them. Shen Minghui is his father, and although he feels wronged and resentful, he dares not act rashly.
"Father did this to better prove our identities and leave those despicable people speechless!" Shen Yingxue patted Shen Yelei's head and explained understandingly, while glaring angrily at Shen Lixue.
Ever since that wretched woman came to the Prime Minister's residence, her family has never had a good day. She is a jinx to her family. Once the blood is fused, she will definitely teach her a lesson and make her family pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for the suffering they have endured!
"Miss Shen, it's your turn to bleed!" Shen Lixue looked at the basin of crystal-clear water, a faint smile flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't need your reminder!" Shen Yingxue replied arrogantly, tearing off the white cloth strip and letting a drop of blood drip into the water.
All eyes were focused on the three drops of blood in the water. Shen Minghui was the most nervous. Watching the three drops of blood floating up and down, his heart was in his throat. Whether they were his biological children or not, the answer was about to be found.
Three drops of blood floated and swayed in the clear water, rising and falling. Two of the drops touched and slowly merged. Shen Minghui and Lei Hong's hearts were in their throats. They silently prayed, "There's only one drop left. Once it merges, everything will be alright."
Under their expectant gazes, the remaining two drops of blood slowly, slowly approached, but at the moment of contact, they brushed past each other and went their separate ways.
Shen Minghui's heart sank to the bottom, his face turning as black as ink, because the blood that had been mixed was that of Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei, and his blood had just passed them by.
"What's going on?" Shen Minghui's roar pierced through the clouds and echoed through the sky. His face was terribly gloomy, and his gaze towards Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei was so angry that it seemed to be spitting fire.
He was the one who fetched the water, he was the one who dripped the blood. Shen Lixue stood far away, unable to do anything underhanded. The undeniable facts were right in front of her: blood cannot be mixed, blood cannot be mixed.
Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei were also speechless with shock. What was going on? How could their blood not mix with their father's?
"Father, someone must have tampered with it, someone must have tampered with it!" Shen Yingxue said anxiously. She was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, Shen Minghui's biological daughter, and her blood was definitely mixed with his.
Lei Hong tried to calm himself down, quickly stepped forward, and gently patted Shen Minghui's shoulder: "Calm down, something must have gone wrong. Why don't you have Shen Lixue and Shen Caiyun do the blood test again? If their blood doesn't mix, then there must be a problem!"
"Li Xue, Cai Yun!" Shen Minghui looked at the two of them, his anger turning into a hint of anticipation.
Shen Lixue stepped forward with a slight smile. They wanted hope, so she would make them utterly despair. She took out a silver needle, pricked her finger, and dripped a drop of blood into it. Shen Caiyun took the silver needle from her hand, pricked her finger, and dripped blood into it as well.
Blood cannot mix, blood cannot mix! Lei Hong, Shen Yingxue, and Shen Yelei stared intently at the clear water, silently chanting in their hearts. Two new drops of blood swayed in the water a few times, then slowly fell to the ground, completely merging with one of the drops of blood.
"This is impossible!" Shen Yingxue's sharp exclamation shocked everyone's ears. Her blood, Shen Yelei's blood, and Shen Minghui's blood did not mix, but Shen Lixue's blood and Shen Caixuan's blood did mix. This was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Lei Hong panicked. He had Shen Lixue and Shen Caiyun drip their blood to prove Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei's innocence, but unexpectedly it became evidence that the two were not Shen Minghui's biological children.
"Minghui, there must be some misunderstanding!"
Shen Minghui's gaze, sharp as a blade, suddenly shot towards Lei Hong, his teeth clenched: "This misunderstanding needs Lei Yarong to explain!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Minghui turned around and strode out without looking back.
"Father!" Shen Yingxue called out urgently, no longer caring about glaring at Shen Lixue, and pulled Shen Yelei to chase after them.
Lei Hong's face was terribly gloomy as he coldly stared at Shen Lixue: "Did you do something wrong?"
Shen Lixue smiled smugly, her tone both mocking and sarcastic: "Minister Lei, please don't make excuses to cover up the dirty deeds of your Lei family. If Yingxue and Yelei were truly Prime Minister Shen's children, their blood would definitely be intertwined. Lei Yarong knows the real reason why their blood doesn't intertwine better than anyone else!"
"If I find out that you're the one behind this, I will never let you off the hook!" Lei Hong threatened through gritted teeth, his voice low and deliberate.
Shen Lixue smiled coldly: "If Minister Lei has the ability and the courage, he might as well give it a try!"
"Swoosh!" The moment Shen Lixue turned around, her long sleeves covered her small hands, and the dagger in her hand quickly slashed at Lei Hong's hand, cutting a small gash in his strong hand, and blood beads seeped out from the wound.
"Shen Lixue!" Upon seeing the dagger, Lei Hong was shocked. He hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it. His gaze towards Shen Lixue was as cold as thousand-year-old ice, instantly freezing people. Looking at Shen Caiyun and the many servants, his hand, which had been holding back all his strength, trembled as he lowered it. It was the dagger with the thing inside. He had actually been injured by that dagger. What should he do? What should he do?
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention and the dagger cut Minister Lei's hand. The wound is only a little bit. Minister Lei, please forgive me!" Shen Lixue smiled apologetically, but her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of coldness. Just now, Lei Hong was so angry that he wanted to kill her. The thing on the dagger was not simple!
Lei Shilang's sharp eyes were filled with coldness. Even a small wound could be fatal. Forgive me, but dream on! If he dies, I will definitely drag Chen Lixue down with me.
"Sister, Father stormed off in a rage. Let's hurry and go see what's going on, lest something bad happen!" Shen Caiyun wanted to follow and see what was happening, but she was deterred by Shen Minghui's strictness and Shen Yingxue and Shen Yelei's arrogance and rudeness, and dared not go alone.
Shen Lixue is a capable person. If she goes with Shen Lixue, she doesn't need to worry about anything going wrong.
"Let's go!" Shen Lixue smiled slightly and walked quickly forward, with Shen Caiyun following closely behind. Lei Hong strode at the very back, staring fiercely at Shen Lixue, his large hand clenching quietly, gritting his teeth, "You bitch."
When Shen Minghui stepped into Ya Garden, Shen Lixue and Shen Caiyun also arrived at the gate. Ya Garden was quiet, with not a single maid in sight. Granny Mi sat at the entrance of the west wing, leisurely cracking melon seeds on a small stool.
Seeing Shen Minghui storm in, followed by Shen Lixue, Shen Caiyun, and others, she panicked, put the melon seeds aside, and quickly stood up. She was about to shout at the main wife when Shen Lixue flicked her slender finger, and a silver light flew past, piercing into Granny Mi's pressure point. Her mouth moved rapidly, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Shen Minghui was eager to see Lei Yarong and paid no attention to Granny Mi. He strode forward and was about to reach the door of the main room when Granny Mi rushed forward and blocked his way, gesturing at him with her hands and feet.
Shen Minghui was already in a bad mood. Seeing Granny Mi blocking his way, his gaze turned cold, and he was about to slap her across the face, knocking her aside, when a seductive moan reached his ears: "Mmm...mmm...ah..."
Shen Minghui was startled, his face instantly turning as black as ink. He kicked the shocked Granny Mi aside, kicked open the door, and strode inside.
Inside the large bed, a naked man and woman were engaged in vigorous activity. The bed creaked and groaned. The woman's eyes were glazed, her pretty face flushed, and her delicate arms clung tightly to the man's neck as she moaned softly, her voice alluring and seductive.
The man was strong and well-proportioned, his hands tightly gripping the woman's waist. His movements were intense, his eyes filled with madness, and his face radiated satisfaction.
"Lei Yarong!" Shen Minghui was furious. He grabbed a vase and threw it at the two people who were lost in passion on the bed.
"Bang!" The vase smashed against the man's back, shattering into pieces. Blood flowed from his back, and he instantly regained consciousness. The woman was also awakened by the shards that fell on her legs, and looked in horror at the furious Shen Minghui in the center of the room: "Master...Master!"
"You actually cheated on me!" Shen Minghui gritted his teeth, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to devour the two of them alive. He grabbed something and slammed it down on the two people on the bed: "I'll teach you to cheat on me, cheat on me!"
