Chapter 377: Blood Identification
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huo Wanting felt like her lungs were about to explode from anger. There was only one point that these people had said. No matter what the reason was, Pei Li was definitely going to be the acting head of the family. Moreover, it was very obvious that Pei Li had already planned to take in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh branches. Even his uncle, Ouyang Tang, and the others were on his side. How hateful.
However, Huo Wanting still had a trump card. Since all of you said that only a male heir could inherit the Ouyang family, then Pei Li, who was inhumane and even unable to have children, naturally had to be excluded.
“But as far as I know, not only does Ouyang Li not have the slightest ability to have children, he doesn’t even have the basic functions that a man should have, right?”
Huo Wanting was extremely certain. Even Grand Elder Ji’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. If that was the case, then there really was something wrong.
When everyone heard Huo Wanting’s words, they all turned their gazes towards Pei Li. However, Pei Li did not seem to be fl.u.s.tered at all. Instead, he calmly said to everyone, “I don’t know where Aunt got the news from, but Aunt is so worried about her nephew. I am so grateful. I already have a child. The child is already in the womb and has been diagnosed as a boy.”
“Oh, he already has a child. Could this First Madam be spouting nonsense?”
Have a child? Of course, Huo Wanting did not believe it. She immediately said, “Liu Yufei is already dead. I am curious, whose child is yours?”
Pei Li was not angry. He nodded at Ouyang Le. Only then did Huo Wanting realize that Ouyang Le was standing beside Pei Li.
She was trembling with anger. She had been in control of the Ouyang family for decades. There was nothing in the entire Ouyang family’s inner court that she did not know. However, she did not know when Ouyang Le was standing beside Pei Li. Could it be that Pei Li’s methods were really so amazing that he had even taken control of the Ouyang family’s inner court?
When Ouyang Le brought Liu Yufei up, Huo Wanting’s heart heaved a sigh of relief. This was Shen Xiaoxiao. Who did not know that the child in Shen Xiaoxiao’s belly was Yan Kuan’s? Did this Pei Li think they were fools?
“Don’t treat us as fools. Who doesn’t know that the child in Shen Xiaoxiao’s belly is Yan Kuan’s? You must be crazy to want to be a cheap father, right?”
Huo Wanting was speaking the truth. Naturally, Pei Li knew, but he was already prepared. He said without fear, “Eldest Madam can get someone to do a DNA test. You will naturally know if it’s my child or not. Moreover, for the sake of fairness, I suggest that Second Uncle do it personally. What do you think, Eldest Aunt?”
Huo Wanting didn’t expect that Pei Li would really dare to do a paternity test and let Ouyang Jinguo do it. However, it was still fine if she didn’t know that Ouyang Le was Pei Li’s person. Now that she knew, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that Ouyang Jinguo wouldn’t help his daughter and that instead he would help her.
However, Pei Li could not be the only one in charge of this. After thinking for a while, Huo Wanting directly said, “Of course, we have to do a paternity test. However, there is no need for Second Brother to do it. In this courtyard, among the 10 family doctors, Shen Xiaoxiao will draw lots to choose.”
“Whether it is a blood test or a DNA test, we have to see all the steps of the equipment with our own eyes. Eldest Nephew, I don’t know if you dare or not to do this.”
Pei Li did not expect Huo Wanting to be so difficult to deal with. Initially, he wanted to use his blood and Ouyang Jinming’s blood to do the test. However, if he wanted to do it in public, it would not be easy.
“Why? Is Nephew not willing? If he’s not willing, it means that Nephew is not qualified to be the head of the family.”
“Aunt, what if this child is mine? What do you plan to do?”
Pei Li looked at Huo Wanting pressing on with every step, and his heart was filled with hatred. There must be a way, and he would definitely think of a way.
“If the child is really yours, then my eldest house will automatically withdraw from the fight for the position of clan leader.”
The entire crowd was in an uproar. Huo Wanting was pressing on so tightly, yet she was willing to withdraw for this reason. Could it be that this child really wasn’t Pei Li’s?
Everyone looked at Pei Li in shock. Pei Li’s expression did not change, but his heart had already dismembered everyone in the large house a few times. It was clearly something that was decided by the elders, but this large house still wanted to change it. They were truly c.o.c.kroaches that could not be killed.
Pei Li stole a glance at Ouyang Jinming and saw him nodding slightly. Pei Li calmed down and said to Huo Wanting, “Alright, let’s do it according to Aunt’s wishes.”
It was definitely not that simple to do a personal appraisal on the spot. Not to mention the various equipment and various preparations, but with the Ouyang family’s ability, it was not difficult to obtain these things.
However, after all the equipment was placed on the table, Huo Wanting changed her mind again. She said, “Actually, we don’t have to go through much trouble. The Ouyang family has a thousand years of history. Although the outside world thinks that blood identification is not reliable, I think Nanny Dong should be able to do it.”
Nanny Dong?
Pei Li did not know her, but the older generation of the Ouyang family knew her.
She was also a legendary figure of the Ouyang family and was the most impartial. Moreover, she was loyal to the clan leader. Not only was she skilled in medicine, she was also the only guardian of the mysterious Suoyin flower of the Ouyang family. If she was asked to act, not to mention… No one dared to say no.
Pei Li’s heart was already filled with hatred. The one who wanted the paternity test was Huo Wanting. They had already prepared for it and now she was going to change her mind. Huo Wanting was really a ten thousand year old demon. As expected of the matriarch who had been in charge for decades. She had so many thoughts
Moreover, Pei Li could see that even though those elders had accepted his benefits, they still showed respect when they heard the words ‘Nanny Dong’. Could it be that this drop of blood could beat this scientific instrument?
However, ever since Pei Li had agreed to the test, he had fallen into Huo Wanting’s trap. She knew that whatever Pei Li wanted to do, based on his current status in the Ouyang family, it would be a piece of cake. However, it wasn’t as if she couldn’t do anything… At the very least, she believed in herself on this point. She was certain that Pei Li was absolutely unable to conceive a child. Hence, she wasn’t afraid of Nanny Dong coming forward to test him.
Putting aside the arrival of Nanny Dong, since the few elders didn’t have any intention of being unwilling, then it was imperative that Nanny Dong was invited.
Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao, who were hiding in the dark to watch the show, felt more and more interested as they watched the show. In fact, they also wanted to know… Was it Bureau Chief Liu or Pei Li’s child in Liu Yufei’s stomach?
If it was Pei Li’s child, then Liu Yufei’s life would be considered good. If it was Bureau Chief Liu’s, then Pei Li would have had a good dream today.
An old granny, dressed in black wizard attire, looked out of place, but no one dared to say anything.
Her nails were extremely long and her back was hunched, but her gaze was exceptionally sharp. In the Ouyang family, many juniors had only seen her when they were born because she would give all the juniors of the Ouyang family a jade pendant that belonged exclusively to the descendants of the Ouyang family.
Her arrival caused everyone to hold their breaths. Moreover, on the way here, she already knew what she was going to do, so she did not hesitate at all. She directly asked someone to bring a bowl of water. For the sake of fairness… She first let Ouyang Jincheng and Ouyang Lie each drip a drop of blood. After everyone saw that the two drops of blood had fused together, everyone stared at Pei Li.
Because Liu Yufei’s child was still in her stomach, a scientific instrument was needed to extract the blood. However, Nanny Dong did not allow outsiders to get their hands on it. Instead, she directly walked over with a special silver needle in her hand. She just looked at Liu Yufei… Then, she used the silver needle to squeeze into Liu Yufei’s stomach.
Liu Yufei only had time to call out when the silver needle had already been pulled out. This action made everyone dumbfounded.
The blood dripped into the bowl, and Pei Li’s heart was already in his throat. He knew that if he was too late, he would definitely be done for. This was Yan Kuan’s child. How could it be his? Was his dream going to end so soon?
But at this moment, a cry of surprise was heard….
