Chen Miaochun never believed in the so - called Fruit of Kinship. She felt like a fool for eating the leaves. With a hint of complaint, she said, "What kind of magical fruit? It's clearly nonsense. Only a fool like you would believe a child's nonsense."
Shen Baozhu was also a bit confused. She tried hard to explain to Chen Miaochun, "Maybe the fruit is too small, or the leaves don't work. I'm really not talking nonsense."
"Baozhu, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that you're young and might have been deceived by some quack. There's no such magical fruit in the world." Without Chen Linchun's instigation, Chen Miaochun was in a stable mood. Her tone when talking to Shen Baozhu was very gentle, even a bit like Chen Ruxia's.
Qingyun the True Man: [Dragon King, Chen Miaochun is referring to you as the lying quack.]
Taking the opportunity for a long - awaited revenge, Qingyun the True Man threw the Dragon King's words back at him. The Dragon King was so angry that he rolled in the sea several times and roared a few times before finally calming down.
He transformed into a human form and grabbed the white dragon's horn. "Is the Fruit of Kinship real?"
The white dragon nodded its head continuously. "It's real, even more real than my horn."
"If it's real, why didn't the red thread appear?" The Dragon King's imposing manner intensified, forcing the white dragon to tremble all over.
In order to save his life, the white dragon's brain was working at high speed. "When you eat the Fruit of Kinship, a red thread will appear to connect relatives with the same bloodline. Since there's no red thread, it means the bloodlines are different!"
The Dragon King thought this made sense, but he had preconceived doubts about the relationship between Chen Miaochun and Chen Ruxia. Could it be that neither of them was the young lady of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion?
He told Shen Baozhu his thoughts: [The fruit is fine. The problem lies with the people.]
[Neither Chen Miaochun nor Chen Ruxia is the young lady of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. They don't share the same parents with Chen Linchun.]
Shen Baozhu relayed the Dragon King's words. Chen Ruxia fell into deep thought, while Chen Miaochun scoffed. She thought it was ridiculous.
Chen Miaochun pinched Shen Baozhu's face and said firmly, "Silly girl, not only do I look like the old Marquis of Yong'an, but I also have a birthmark on my thigh. The birthmark is exactly the same as that of my grandmother and father. That's the key to my successful family recognition."
"Chen Ruxia may not be the young lady of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, but I definitely am."
Shen Baozhu whispered, "But my mother said that Sister Ruxia looked exactly like her mother when she was a child. Sister Ruxia is more like Qiuqiu's sister."
Although the Princess Jingning didn't say it explicitly, her attitude had subtly influenced Shen Baozhu.
The Dragon King was also puzzled: [Chen Miaochun looks like the Marquis of Yong'an and has a birthmark as proof. Such a private part is surely not faked.]
[However, my fruit must be fine!]
Chen Miaochun's complexion worsened. She didn't get angry but just repeated, "I also look exactly like the old Marquis of Yong'an. I have a birthmark. I'm Qiuqiu's sister."
Shen Baozhu sensed that Chen Miaochun was angry. She reached out uneasily to pull Chen Miaochun. "Sister Miaochun..."
Lin Yu, who was making ointment, saw that both the Dragon King and Chen Miaochun were unhappy and quickly reminded: [The Dragon King is sure his fruit is fine, and Miaochun has her appearance and birthmark as evidence. I remember that the True Man once saw that Su Qian had no brothers. Why not let the True Man take a look at Miaochun and Ruxia too?]
Chen Miaochun and Chen Ruxia's situations were special. Although the Wang family claimed to have adopted Chen Miaochun, with a little investigation, one could guess that the Wang family had exchanged the two children. There was Chen Linchun in the Marquis Mansion and Wang Baogen in the Wang family. No matter who was Qiuqiu's sister, they should have a brother in their fate.
Therefore, Qingyun the True Man had never calculated the facial features of Chen Miaochun and Chen Ruxia.
Now that Lin Yu suddenly mentioned it, Qingyun the True Man calculated with his fingers and told Shen Baozhu the result: [Chen Miaochun and Chen Ruxia have somewhat similar fates. Both were supposed to die young, and they will encounter a great calamity at the age of sixteen, which is very dangerous, but they will have noble people to help them. Neither of them has a brother in their fate.]
Qingyun the True Man added: [Referring to brothers with the same parents.]
The Dragon King was overjoyed: [They have no brothers in their fate. My fruit is definitely fine!]
Shen Baozhu relayed these words completely, which, however, made Chen Miaochun unhappy.
She patted Shen Baozhu's head. "You're still a little kid. Where did you learn all this superstitious nonsense? You didn't believe I was the young lady of the Marquis Mansion before, and now you're saying that neither I nor Chen Ruxia has a brother in our fate."
"If neither I nor Chen Ruxia has a brother in our fate, then who is the young lady of the Marquis Mansion? It can't be that both I and Chen Ruxia are, but my elder brother isn't."
From her words, it could be seen that even though she was framed by Chen Linchun, Chen Miaochun still sided with him.
Chen Ruxia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reached out. She pulled Chen Miaochun onto the bed and then lowered the indigo - blue gauze curtain.
Soon, there came Chen Miaochun's scream from the bed. "Ah!"
The Dragon King's imagination ran wild: [Chen Ruxia found out that Chen Miaochun wasn't the young lady of the Marquis Mansion either and beat her up?]
Both Lin Yu and Qingyun the True Man thought the Dragon King was talking nonsense, but Shen Baozhu believed it. She said anxiously, "Sister Ruxia, don't beat Sister Miaochun!"
"What are you talking about? With Ruxia's weak body, it's more likely that I'd beat her up." Chen Miaochun lifted the gauze curtain with a pale face. She got out of bed.
She shouted outside, "Mother, Miaochun is borrowing one of your clothes."
Without waiting for the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an to respond, Chen Miaochun rummaged around in the room. Soon she found a bright blue ruqun. She threw the ruqun onto the bed and then hugged Shen Baozhu.
She hugged very tightly, so tightly that Shen Baozhu had trouble breathing.
Just as Shen Baozhu was about to push her away, she felt her neck getting wet. Without hesitation, Shen Baozhu hugged her back and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"
[Is Chen Miaochun crying? I must be right. Chen Ruxia and Chen Miaochun fought, and Chen Ruxia lost.]
Lin Yu was a bit speechless: [Are you serious?]
[No.]
Then there was a series of subtitles: [After Chen Miaochun mentioned the birthmark, Chen Ruxia remained silent. The three generations of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion all have birthmarks. Maybe Chen Ruxia also has one. She pulled Chen Miaochun onto the bed to check the birthmark.]
[Chen Miaochun looks like her grandmother and has a birthmark. Chen Ruxia looks like her mother and may also have a birthmark, exactly the same as Chen Miaochun's. They are both children of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and Chen Linchun isn't.]
The Dragon King thought Chen Linchun wasn't a good person, so he even used the word "bastard".
But this bullet - screen was prompted that it couldn't be sent and needed to be modified.
Lin Yu asked curiously: [What did you send? Why is the subtitle blurred?]
Looking at the prompt, the Dragon King was also confused. He revised it several times before finally making the subtitle clear: [Chen Miaochun looks like her grandmother, and Chen Ruxia looks like her mother. Maybe Chen Ruxia also has a birthmark, exactly the same as Chen Miaochun's. They are both children of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and Chen Linchun isn't.]
[I understand! The divine artifact doesn't allow bad words.]
Lin Yu was no stranger to censorship words. It was one of the common means to protect minors in the interstellar era. [Maybe it's to prevent Baozhu from seeing and being led astray. This is a good practice. We should also pay attention.]
Chen Miaochun had cried enough. She got up and wiped her tears. "Baozhu, Ruxia also has a birthmark. She's my biological sister."
