Chapter 427 Yes or No? Check!
"Are you sure?" asked Qin Huaiyong with a hesitant look on his pale face.
At this time, he no longer said that Qin Wanru was definitely his daughter. Of course, his words also showed that Qin Wanru was indeed not.
Qin Wanru sneered in her heart. As soon as he said this, the fact that she was not Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter was settled.
"Are there scars on your daughter's knees?" Qin Wanru asked calmly.
"Yes, yes, there are scars. There must be scars!" the middle-aged woman said urgently.
"What if there are not?" Qin Wanru's eyes became calmer, and her brightly shining eyes fixed on the middle-aged couple, which made them feel guilty and could not even say a word for a moment.
Were there really scars on this Miss's knees in front of them? Did they make a mistake?
"If there are no scar, she'll be naturally not our... daughter!" The middle-aged woman's eyes drifted, and her voice lowered.
It was obvious that she was a little hesitant.
"Yes, if there is no scar, she'll be naturally not our daughter." The middle-aged man seemed to be much calmer and he echoed hurriedly.
"Second sister, you just go to check it inside. If true, you can really find your relatives." Qin Yuru jumped out again and said.
"What if not true?" Qin Wanru sneered. Now that she had known what would be going on, she did not need to pretend politeness and compliance anymore.
Needless to say, this middle-aged couple's visit must be arranged by Madam of Duke Xing. But it was unknown whether the middle-aged couple knew that it was Madam of Duke Xing behind them.
Madam of Duke Xing was cunning and cautious, so she did not seem to be the one who would casually let others know that she was controlling behind the scene.
After the middle-aged couple entered the house, she even said fewer words than Qin Yuru. On the contrary, Qin Yuru jumped out from time to time, which made people suspect that she was behind the scene.
If Qin Wanru did not know Qin Yuru well, she would also definitely think that it was Qin Yuru who did this. However, even if Qin Yuru did not take the initiative to control this, it must have something to do with Qin Yuru.
There had indeed been scars on her knees, but she did not know when she had been hurt. Grandmother said that she had fallen down when she had been little, and it had seemingly been very serious at that time. Since she had been seriously hurt, Madam Di and her daughter naturally had known this. In fact, a lot of people in Jiangzhou had known about this.
However, no one in the capital city knew about it.
If she had not learned medical skills from Mingqiu Nun, who had applied a bottle of good ointment to her old wounds, she would have been unable to explain it clearly.
They really took great pains!
"If not true, there will be no harm to Second Sister, right?" Qin Yuru said with a hollow laugh when she heard Qin Wanru's question.
"Qin Yuru, what will you do if someone comes to recognize you as their daughter and asks you to take off your clothes to check?" Qin Wanru asked lightly, raising her eyebrows and saying with sarcasm.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Yuru's face turned red.
"Since you think I am talking nonsense, why do you think that I should do this when someone comes to find me?" Qin Wanru looked around Qin Yuru's face and said with a smile.
Qin Yuru was stunned and she did not know what to say for a moment.
"Daughter, we are really your parents! Even though our family is in poor condition, it is still your home. We will definitely raise you well and will never let you suffer a little grievance. Don't refuse to recognize your parents!" The middle-aged woman suddenly made a heartbreaking cry and rushed to Qin Wanru.
Yujie immediately stood in front of Qin Wanru and stared at the middle-aged woman with hostility.
Seeing the middle-aged woman crying on the ground and her face full of tears, the elders of the clan all looked at Qin Wanru suspiciously. Was it true?
Rui'an Great Elder Princess lowered her head and took the teacup at her hand to take a sip and then leaned back. Her relaxed look made people feel that what happened in the hall had nothing to do with her.
Madam of Duke Xing was relieved in her heart. It seemed that there was no relationship between Qin Wanru and Rui'an Great Elder Princess. That was the best.
Since Rui'an Great Elder Princess did not know the truth, she still had a chance to win even if she failed today.
She could not be anxious. She should not be anxious...
"Second Miss, how about having a check? Your servant girl can also be with you." Madam of Duke Xing took two steps forward and whispered to Qin Wanru with concern, "If you are not their daughter, this can also make them abandon this idea, lest they should go outside to talk nonsense and ruin your reputation!"
"Just have a check. Whether you are or not, you should show some evidence!" Old Madam of Duke Yong also interrupted. She also wanted Qin Wanru to get out of Qin's Mansion, which would be the best.
"Sister Wanru, you go to have a check and make them give up!" said Qi Rongzhi, who was watching this scene of bustle. Hearing Madam of Duke Xing's words, she immediately added, "Anyway, you are not uncle's daughter. It is also a good thing to find your own parents!"
Qin Yuru's matter had already made Madam of Duke Xing unhappy. Now obviously whatever Madam of Duke Xing said was true.
"Grandmother, am I really not my father's biological daughter?" Qin Wanru looked at Old Madam Qin with a pale face and her lips trembled.
Old Madam Qin sighed, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have increased suddenly. She said bitterly, "Zhuozhuo, even though you are not your father's biological daughter, you are still my lineal granddaughter."
"Father, am I not your biological daughter?" Qin Wanru's face became paler. She turned to look at Qin Huaiyong as if she wanted to seek shelter. Her beautiful eyes were full of tears, which were about to fall down.
Qin Huaiyong looked pale, and it could be seen that he also had something difficult to tell, but finally he nodded deeply amidst the gazes of people. "Wanru, don't worry. Even though you are not my biological daughter, I still take you as my biological daughter."
Although he did not directly answer Qin Wanru's question, everyone present could understand the meaning in his words. Sure enough, Qin Wanru was not Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, and those piecemeal rumors outside were true.
No one was surprised by Qin Huaiyong's words, and they even felt that it was supposed to be like this.
If she was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, how dare Madam Di treat Qin Wanru like this?
"Father, who are my biological parents?" Qin Wanru stared at Qin Huaiyong and asked.
Qin Huaiyong became silent and did not say anything for a while. It seemed that he did not know what to say for the moment. He turned to look at that couple and wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
However, this behavior made people more convinced that the couple in front of them were Qin Wanru's biological parents.
"Sister Wanru, just accept them! After all they are your biological parents, and they did not mean to lose you at that time!" Qi Rongzhi advised kindly again.
"That is right. Second sister, a son never thinks his mother ugly. Anyway, they are still your parents!" Qin Yuru rarely had the same idea as Qi Rongzhi, but she also started to show her concern.
"Just quickly accept them. Here is Duke Xing's Mansion, not Ningyuan Army General's Mansion." Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion also spoke and looked at Qin Wanru with more disdain.
She really came from a humble family. Even though she had been raised in Ningyuan Army General's Mansion, she still had a humble origin. Looking at this pair of parents could allow people to know that their child could not be a good person.
The affairs of Duke Xing's Mansion had not been solved yet, and Rui'an Great Elder Princess was still sitting here, so Old Madam was very worried. How could she be in the mood to help Qin's Mansion solve the family affairs? So she was bluntly driving them away when she spoke.
"Yes, accept them!" An elder of the clan could not help but say.
"Anyway, they are your own parents. Heaven and earth will not tolerate if you do not recognize them," another elder of the clan said. Since their own affairs had not been handled properly, they really did not have the energy to take care of other people's affairs.
Since Old Madam was driving them away, they did not need to be polite to her.
"Where did father find me? Where did they lose their child?" Qin Wanru did not pay attention to their words. She still stared at Qin Huaiyong, as if she would not let go of Qin Huaiyong until he gave her some evidence.
This stubbornness made Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion even angrier. She pounded heavily on the table with her hand and said, "Second Miss Qin, I really should not have intervened in your affairs by rights, but now you are in our mansion. You not only refuse to recognize your biological parents, but also press your adoptive father for an answer. You are so unfilial. If you do not have anything else to do, please leave!"
"Daughter, we are really your biological parents!" The middle-aged woman cried timely, just like a mother who had been rejected by a girl.
"Father, are you unwilling to say or unable to say?" Qin Wanru ignored them. Today, she was going to force Qin Huaiyong to say something.
"It was very chaotic at that time, and we did not know when you disappeared. Daughter, we come all the way to the capital city just to find you. Considering our effort, please forgive us for our mistakes at that time!" The middle-aged man also wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Qin Huaiyong still did not say a word. He slowly lowered his head and his face looked pale. Anyone would not be in a good mood when his daughter would be taken away by her biological parents after he had raised his daughter for so many years.
"If I am not your daughter, and if I do not have the scars you said, then it'll be that you falsely claim to be relatives of the officials!" Looking at Qin Huaiyong's appearance, Qin Wanru knew that she could not force him to say anything for a while, so she turned to look at the middle-aged couple and said coldly.
Rui'an Great Elder Princess said coldly on the side, "Send them to the government directly. They falsely claim to be relatives of the emperor. Doubly guilty."
Old Madam of Duke Xing felt that Rui'an Great Elder Princess became more annoying because she kept talking that someone falsely claimed to be relatives of the emperor. What kind of royal relative was the Qin's Mansion? She was really an idiot. Why had her son like a fool taken a fancy to this idiot's daughter at that time? Old Madam was angry when thinking about that woman who had bad signs for her husband and her daughter.
Had it not been for that woman, her son would not have been in trouble! And her own granddaughter would not have gone missing.
"Great Elder Princess, please send one maid to come to check and Madam of Duke Xing also send one. If I am not, Great Elder Princess, please be my witness and send them to the government!" Qin Wanru followed Rui'an Great Elder Princess's words and looked at Madam of Duke Xing.
Coincidentally, Qin Yuru would also be checked later. Since Qin Wanru's check paved the way, there was no reason for Qin Yuru to refuse later! Now it was the right time!
Rui'an Great Elder Princess nodded and waved to Nanny Gao next to her. Nanny Gao understood and stood beside Qin Wanru.
Seeing that Rui'an Great Elder Princess really intervened to prove for Qin Wanru, Madam of Duke Xing suddenly had a bad feeling and she was alert in her mind. Now what she feared most was that Rui'an Great Elder Princess and Qin Wanru had a relationship, so she twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a mess!
But at this time, she had no choice but to ask an old maid to take Qin Wanru to check in the wing room on the side.
