Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Unexpectedly, It Was Just a Farce

Chu Qianli had never believed a single word that Qin Liuyan had said, from beginning to end.

She trusted her own intuition.

Qin Liuyan couldn’t possibly be her mother.

Even though she wasn’t the original Chu Qianli, she possessed all of the original’s memories.

Over the years, she had never once felt the slightest bit of affection from Qin Liuyan.

If one were to claim that Qin Liuyan was merely acting, the innate maternal love which should emanate from deep within the heart was undeniably something that the other person ought to be able to feel.

But what had the original felt?

It was Qin Liuyan’s ridicule, her oppression of her own self, her continuous slandering to favor Chu Huaiyu!

Can you claim that such a woman, who’s not even Chu Huaiyu’s biological mother, is her own mother?

Ha, not even a child would believe that.

Therefore, she had enough confidence to believe that all of this was false.

The disheartened Long Ye suddenly looked at her, "Lili, do you say you can prove that you are indeed my granddaughter?"

Long Feifan also stared at Chu Qianli, a trace of surprise in his eyes, and also, a slight thrill.

Chu Qianli felt a warm sensation inside her.

It seemed that her grandfather and uncle were more inclined to believe that she was their family’s child.

In contrast, not a single person from the Duke Residence or the Imperial Family was willing to believe her.

Chu Qianli nodded to Long Ye, "Yes, I can prove that I am really your granddaughter."

"How can you prove it?" Long Feifan immediately asked, presumably very expectant.

Chu Qianli then looked at the emperor and spoke indifferently, "An ancient method passed down through the ages, blood testing."

Chu Hongtao immediately spoke with displeasure, "Qianyue is no longer with us, how could we..."

"It is possible through a generation skip."

Chu Qianli did not even glance at him, her eyes only on the emperor, "Although blood testing isn’t entirely accurate, it’s a first step. If we can’t even do this, it at least proves that the person is a fake."

As for proving that they are the real deal with the test—well, that’s not necessarily the case either.

If the blood types of two individuals happen to be compatible, then she could use another method to prove that Chu Huaiyu was not Long Ye’s granddaughter.

However, it would require more equipment and some time to prepare.

But for now, a blood test would sufficiently intimidate the people from the Duke Residence.

Chu Huaiyu’s face showed no emotion, but Chu Hongtao and Qin Liuyan inadvertently glanced at each other.

Though they only looked at each other quickly, with Qin Liuyan immediately lowering her head, not daring to look anymore,

that glance was still captured by Chu Qianli.

They were indeed feeling guilty!

These two people had concocted such an enormous lie just to elevate Chu Huaiyu to power!

"Your Majesty, if you wish to ascertain who is truly Long Qianyue’s daughter, Chu Huaiyu and I can both participate in a blood test with the Marquess," Chu Qianli said.

Chu Qianli’s changed expression begs the question of whether she truly has the confidence to prove herself, or has she become so audacious that she can speak such smooth lies?

After exchanging a look with the emperor, the Empress Dowager turned to Yu Linglong, "Can this blood test be performed with a generational gap?"

It appears that the Empress Dowager would rather believe Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong showed no emotion on her face and after a brief cold glance at Chu Qianli, she nodded her head, "It’s...not impossible to try."

However, seeing Qin Liuyan’s expression now, Yu Linglong suddenly lost interest.

She thought she could truly bring down Chu Qianli, that despicable person, yet it turned out to be a farce!

Although Yu Linglong was a meticulous thinker, she now understood who was real and who was fake.

Not willing to see Chu Qianli triumphant, Yu Linglong wanted to find an excuse to leave with the Empress Dowager.

Unexpectedly, Long Ye, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and with a hoarse voice said, "No need for such trouble, I know who is Qianyue’s child."

...Qin Liuyan, kneeling on the floor, trembled with fear.

A blood test, even with a generational gap? Is it really possible?

If only Chu Qianli had said this, everyone could disbelieve.

But even Yu Linglong said as much.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager would never doubt Yu Linglong’s medical skills!

But she had already spoken, and if everyone now believed that Chu Qianli was indeed Long Qianyue’s daughter, then she...

Wouldn’t she be guilty of deceiving the emperor?

Qin Liuyan was frightened, crying out, "Your Majesty, Marquess, regarding blood verification in determining kin, ancient texts also mention there might be errors, it’s not necessarily always accurate!"

"Xiaoqi is indeed my daughter, Marquess... Marquess, you can’t forcibly take my daughter as yours!"

"Xiaoqi really is my daughter, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor remained silent, and the Empress Dowager, somewhat disappointed, no longer wished to speak.

Unexpectedly, at this time Long Ye suddenly said, "No need for blood verification, as the external granddaughter of an old official, I would naturally recognize her."

His gaze fell on Chu Qianli, that look in his eyes unspeakably heavy.

Just as everyone thought he would go and stand with Chu Qianli, unexpectedly, Long Ye’s gaze shifted, looking at Chu Huaiyu instead.

"Huaiyu, come here."

What does this mean?

Chu Hongtao and Qin Liuyan were astounded.

Chu Huaiyu, surprised only for a moment, then rose from the ground and walked slowly to Long Ye’s side, "Marquess..."

"Looking at you, I felt you and Qianyue bear a striking resemblance, but without proof, I dared not speak carelessly."

"Father!" Long Feifan did not understand!

This Chu Huaiyu in front of him, where did she resemble his sister, Long Qianyue?

Was his father becoming senile?

It was clear... it was clear that when he looked at Chu Qianli’s defiant manner just now, he found her exactly like Qianyue!

This person before him... so fragile, how could she possibly be his sister’s daughter?

Although his sister had passed away when he was still very young, he remembered her gaze very clearly.

His sister’s daughter must be Qianli!

It couldn’t be Chu Huaiyu!

"You don’t understand," Long Ye sighed softly, taking Chu Huaiyu’s hand.

His expression was indescribably grave. His voice, too, was very heavy.

But the words he spoke were at least decisive, "When your sister passed away, you were young, your impression of her wasn’t deep enough, which is why you don’t recognize her."

"Father! I couldn’t possibly..."

But then Long Ye’s serious gaze fell upon him.

Long Feifan clenched his fists tightly, and finally, turned his face away, silent.

No matter what decision father made, he would have to obey!

But he absolutely would not accept the reason his father gave for Chu Huaiyu resembling his sister. Not at all!

The others, except for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, each one looked stunned.

Chu Qianli, however, just watched Long Ye quietly, very calm.

Maybe she didn’t understand much of this, but she had already lost all desire to speak at this moment.

All of this seemed very far away from her.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager didn’t quite know what to say.

At this moment, Qin Liuyan suddenly stood up, looked towards the Emperor, her voice haunting, "Everything is the mistake of this common woman."

She then looked deeply at Chu Qianli and said hoarsely, "Lili, I know you won’t forgive mother, but I really am your mother."

"If you don’t believe me, I can die to prove it to you!"

She suddenly turned around and rushed straight towards a pillar nearby.

Chu Qianli remained indifferent, but Chu Huaiyu was scared out of her wits and just before Qin Liuyan could hit the pillar, she grabbed her firmly.

Yet carried by the momentum, Chu Huaiyu herself was brought face-first into the pillar, crashing into it...
