As for Hong Guang's words, Lord Sun absolutely did not believe them. But the result of the blood test was here, and if Ling Qingwan wanted to prove her innocence, she had to produce evidence.
"Go find the imperial physician." Ling Qingwan replied.
"You are Miss Sun from the General's Mansion. You have frequent contact with the imperial physicians. They will definitely side with you." Hong Guang did not accept Ling Qingwan's proposal.
"Then find a few more doctors. If you think I will do something fishy, then please trouble Lord Sun to find them. You suspect me, but you won't suspect Lord Sun, right?" Ling Qingwan did not argue with Hong Guang any more.
There was no other way. Ling Qingwan insisted on finding other doctors to co-host the event. Hong Guang’s words didn’t count, so he could only agree.
"Do you believe me?"
Lord Sun sent a bailiff to call for the doctor, and everyone was waiting.
Ling Qingwan asked Ling Xiao in a low voice.
"Believe it!" Ling Xiao blurted out without hesitation.
"What if I'm not your biological sister?" Ling Qingwan asked again.
"Impossible, you are my biological sister." Ling Xiao was firm and would not tolerate any rebuttal.
"I mean, what if, what if I'm not the one?" Ling Qingwan looked at Ling Xiao, waiting for his answer.
"Even if you and I are not related by blood, you are still my sister and that will never change."
It was rare for Ling Xiao to be so serious in front of Ling Qingwan.
After hearing this, Ling Qing finally loosened her hands that were tied in her sleeves.
Just having Ling Xiao's words is enough.
About an incense stick of time later, Wei Xun came on horseback, followed by two imperial physicians and three folk doctors who dismounted and climbed the stairs.
"Your humble servant greets the Seventh Prince."
When Lord Sun saw Wei Xun, he quickly left his seat and saluted Wei Xun respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Sun." Wei Xun nodded.
Afterwards, clean water was put back on the table. Ling Qingwan and Ling Xiao cut their fingertips again, and blood dripped into the bowl.
This time, the blood of the two successfully merged.
"It's melted! Did you see that? It's melted!"
"This Second Miss Ling is real! The General's Mansion didn't find the wrong person!"
The people were extremely excited and spread the news one by one.
"Miss! Got caught!"
At this moment, Mingyue squeezed out from the crowd, picked up the man who had presided over the blood test at the beginning as if he was a chicken, and threw him onto the stage.
It turned out that the man just saw something was wrong and took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Now seeing this scene, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that this man was sneaky and ran away halfway, he must have something to hide.
"Tell me, who instructed you to cheat?" Wei Xun looked down at the man and questioned him.
"I... I don't know either!" The man cried. Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
"Don't know?" A trace of murderous intent flashed across Wei Xun's eyes.
"I really don't know. That person... had his face covered, so I couldn't see what he looked like." The man was very anxious and explained hurriedly, fearing that Wei Xun would not believe him.
"Then what did that person tell you?" Ling Qingwan asked.
"That man gave me ten taels of silver and asked me to pretend to be a doctor and cooperate with Hong Guang to perform a blood test on Miss Ling Er. Oh, and he also asked me to add croton seeds to the water!"
In order to save his life, the man told everything the person behind the scenes had told him to do.
Croton is hot in nature and soluble in water. Water with croton added is different from clean water. It is reasonable that Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan's blood cannot mix together.
"What you mean is that the man knew in advance that Hong Guang would say that I was not the second daughter of the Ling family and that the real Ling Qingwan was dead, and thus he lured me step by step into agreeing to the blood test. Then you showed up and messed around, right?" Ling Qingwan confirmed to the man.
"Yes! That's it!" The man nodded heavily.
"Hong Guang! You are so brave!" Lord Sun was very angry.
Even at the end of his life, he was still thinking about harming others. Even Lord Sun, who had seen countless evil people, had never seen such a thing before.
Hong Guang knew that the truth had been revealed and he could no longer defend himself. He could only lower his head and say nothing.
Suddenly, a figure approached and stopped in front of Hong Guang.
"If I remember correctly, your wife knew about the kidnapping of me when I was young and the subsequent murder. Am I right?" Ling Qingwan spoke slowly.
"What do you want to do?" Hong Guang raised his head suddenly.
"Your son is less than ten years old, so young. How is he going to live without his parents?" Ling Qingwan seemed not to notice the anxiety in Hong Guang's eyes. She remained indifferent and extremely calm.
"She knows nothing. I did everything." Hong Guang gritted his teeth.
"Ling Qingwan, I'm about to die, there's no need for you to hurt me in the end!"
"Yes, you are going to die, so why do you want to harm me?" Ling Qingwan asked Hong Guang.
Hong Guang choked.
"You lied and said I had already drowned, but in fact I was lying, and you wanted to kick me out of the house." Ling Qingwan paused and continued. "I don't think you hate me that much."
"If you tell me who asked you to do this, I will let your wife and children go. Otherwise, I don't know what I can do to your wife and children." Ling Qingwan had a blank expression on her face and didn't look like she was joking at all.
"It's... Ling Chuchu."
After all, Hong Guang didn't want his son to live a miserable life.
He had done so many bad things in his life, all to pave the way for his son. If his son was ruined in the end, wouldn't his death be in vain
The two men spoke in a loud voice, and at least all the people standing in front heard what Hong Guang said.
For a moment, everyone started talking about Ling Chuchu.
After the matter was resolved, Ling Qingwan squeezed out of the crowd and prepared to leave.
After taking a few steps, I heard a cry of surprise from behind.
Ling Qingwan paused, said nothing more, and got on the carriage.
At night, Wei Xun came to Lanyuan.
Ling Qingwan was already accustomed to Wei Xun's free entry and exit of her boudoir, so when Wei Xun came to her side, she still did not raise her head and continued to read the storybook with relish.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late?" Wei Xun picked up Ling Qingwan, sat on the chair himself, and let Ling Qingwan sit on his lap.
"I couldn't sleep, and I just happened to find an interesting story, so I'll finish reading it first." Ling Qingwan said softly.
Wei Xun hugged Ling Qingwan tightly.
"Were you frightened by what happened during the day?"
"No." Ling Qingwan answered truthfully.
"I am upright and I have nothing to fear. No matter what Hong Guang says, he cannot turn white into black."
What's more, she has Ling Xiao's unconditional support.
This farce did not leave any ripples in Ling Qingwan's heart at all.
On the contrary, Ling Chuchu lost more than she gained. Now her status in the capital is even worse.
"I'll be free in a few days. The New Year is coming soon, and the surrounding towns are starting to get busy. I heard it's very lively. Do you want to go out and play with me for a few days?" Wei Xun said softly.
"How many days will you be gone?" Ling Qingwan asked curiously.
She hasn't been out of town for a long time.
