How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 648: Blood Oath for Kinship, Truth Revealed
Shen Wanqing took a deep breath, her eyes filled with cold frost as she looked at Pei Yu.
"Pei Yu, have you never believed in me?"
Pei Yu’s face showed hesitation, eventually turning into a long, sorrowful sigh, a look of mixed distress and frustration.
Pei Shu’er looked at the two, then at the people whose voices of discussion grew louder.
Her voice carried a chill.
"Since everyone is doubtful, why not recognize the truth through blood?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions turned extraordinary.
After all, the rumor that Shen Wanqing had an affair with Baili Kong and that Pei Shu’er was Baili Kong’s child was almost already a dead certainty.
Pei Shu’er actually suggested recognizing kin through blood. Is this something a sane person would say?
Whether it’s a rumor or the truth, Shen Wanqing had endured too much.
It would be better to clarify it by recognizing kin through blood.
Moreover, she was not unprepared.
Regardless of whether she was Pei Yu’s child or not, she would be Pei Yu’s child; this kind of tactic was not unheard of.
Xiang Hui’s face lit up with excitement. She was 100% sure that Pei Shu’er was not Pei Yu’s child; otherwise, they wouldn’t have invited Baili Kong to Old Madam Pei’s birthday banquet.
She thought Pei Shu’er and Shen Wanqing would choose to remain silent and retreat, but she didn’t expect Pei Shu’er to be so foolish as to stand out herself.
It was exactly what she wished.
Pei Lingling, seeing her mother’s expression, also roughly understood that Pei Shu’er was walking right into a trap.
She said blandly, "Sister, think carefully. Some things, once done, offer no way back."
Pei Shu’er said, "Since everyone has always been skeptical, and my mother has always claimed her innocence, why not reveal the truth to everyone now."
Pausing for a moment, Pei Shu’er pointed to the people present.
"I’ve remembered the looks of those who spoke just now. If my mother is wronged, you will all line up to apologize to my mother and me."
Then, she pointed to the people from the Pei Mansion: "And as for you, if it’s true, you must apologize as well. Don’t think it will easily be brushed aside."
Xiang Hui said calmly, "And if you really are not the master’s child, then you will compensate for the expenses at the Pei Mansion over these years, and give us all an explanation."
Pei Shu’er nodded, "Agreed."
Pei Shu’er looked at Baili Kong and nodded towards him.
Baili Kong’s gaze was kindly, looking at Pei Shu’er with affection, very cooperative with her.
"Very well, since you want the truth, then the truth shall be yours."
Pei Shu’er looked at Pei Yu, saw him glance at Shen Wanqing, and upon noticing Shen Wanqing closing her eyes, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Baili Kong and Pei Yu each dropped a drop of blood into two bowls filled with water.
Pei Shu’er also dripped her blood into the two bowls separately.
Everyone stretched their necks to watch. They noticed that Pei Shu’er’s blood started to slowly approach Baili Kong’s blood.
Their eyes lit up, "It’s getting closer, closer."
"See, I said Pei Shu’er was an illegitimate child!"
The excitement on everyone’s faces was undisguised.
Only to have Tang Zan pick up a whip and fiercely strike the face of that person, his voice cold.
"Say that again?"
The person held their face and immediately retreated.
At the same time, everyone also saw Pei Shu’er’s blood approaching Pei Yu’s, and just when everyone was confused, they saw the blood of Pei Shu’er and Baili Kong repelling each other.
Their eyes widened.
"How is it possible, how can Pei Shu’er not be Baili Kong’s child?"
Xiang Hui sneered slowly, "If not Baili Kong’s, it could be someone else’s. She just got married and had a child soon after. Can this child be legitimate?"
Pei Shu’er said coolly, "There’s still my blood with Old Master Pei’s; everyone might as well take a closer look."
Everyone sneered; what’s there to see, it surely can’t mix.
Then they saw the blood start to merge, finally combining into one drop.
Pei Shu’er was taken aback. She had only tampered with the bowl of water with Baili Kong’s blood, and hadn’t had the chance to tamper with the one with Pei Yu’s blood.
And then she witnessed this miraculous scene.
After all, recognizing kin through blood can still lead to errors.
But, coupled with Shen Wanqing’s attitude, it was clear.
Even though everyone, including Pei Yu, believed Shen Wanqing had cuckolded him, Shen Wanqing herself was pure and innocent.
Her father was indeed Pei Yu.
And not Baili Kong.
As for Baili Kong, he looked as if it was only natural, but his gaze at Shen Wanqing was full of deep pity.
Shen Wanqing stepped forward, gazing deeply at Pei Yu, taking a deep breath, her eyes sweeping quietly over everyone present.
Then her gaze settled back on Pei Yu.
Her face carried a constant smile, yet her gaze towards everyone was extremely cold.
"By rights, this is a matter between Pei Yu and me, and it should not be made public, but over the years, not only have I suffered such injustice, but my child has also been treated differently."
"From the beginning to the end, I have only ever had Pei Yu, and the child is also Pei Yu’s. The child was born at seven months because it was premature, this was what the midwife and Divine Doctor Xue said at the time."
"I’ve grown tired of explaining over the years and don’t want to explain anymore."
"I know these rumors originated from Xiang Hui, after all, her aspiration to be the true mistress isn’t a recent one."
Xiang Hui immediately snapped, "You’re talking nonsense, you gave others something to talk about yourself, and in the end, you blamed this on me."
Shen Wanqing’s expression was indifferent, "No need to rush, everyone’s seen what you’ve done, treating others like fools when you might turn out to be the clown."
Xiang Hui wanted to retort, but Pei Shu’er only found it noisy.
Secretly, Tang Zan used a pebble to silence her, and the world immediately quieted down.
Shen Wanqing said, "Since you want me to leave, and now the truth has come out, I have no reason to remain in the Pei Mansion."
Shen Wanqing looked at Pei Yu, a hint of desolation in her eyes.
"Let it be, Pei Yu, let’s divorce."
Shen Wanqing reached out to her maid, who, understanding her intent, brought up a tray with writing implements and paper.
Shen Wanqing immediately wrote the words ’divorce paper’ on the paper.
Upon seeing these three words, Pei Yu’s eyes almost shed blood.
"Shen Wanqing, how dare you divorce?"
Shen Wanqing looked up at Pei Yu, "I have thought about this day for many years, and today, I finally achieved it."
Her eyes were full of liberation and relief, even her gaze towards Pei Yu was not as cold as before.
Once divorced, they are but strangers, and who invests too much emotion in a stranger?
Shen Wanqing looked at everyone present.
"I should have had Shu’er perform a blood recognition in front of everyone long ago. But for the sake of the Pei Mansion’s face, for Shu’er’s face, it was delayed for so many years."
"Now that the truth is clear, does anyone here owe me a bit of justice?"
