Chapter 305 Do you dare to swear?
As soon as Song Ruozhen finished speaking, Liu's mother's expression changed.
She had completely forgotten that Song Ruozhen possessed this ability!
"You unfilial descendant! Your mother was born from my womb after ten months of pregnancy. How dare you doubt this? What kind of person do you take me for?"
Liu's mother seemed furious and reached out to hit Song Ruozhen, saying, "You don't know how to properly discipline your child, so I'll do it for you!"
However, Liu's mother's hand was stopped just as it reached into the air.
Chu Junting stared at her with icy eyes, his voice cold, "Old Madam Liu is notorious for not knowing how to raise children, so don't even think about disciplining them for someone else."
Liu's mother's expression changed slightly. In front of others, she could still put on the airs of an elder, but in front of the King of Chu, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she had a hundred lives!
Ruozhen is incredibly lucky to have won the favor of the King of Chu.
"Your Highness, I am old and have raised them with great difficulty. Now I am being questioned by the younger generation. How can I swallow this grievance?" Mother Liu said, her face full of sorrow.
"Since you're convinced they're your biological children, why are you in such a hurry? If you weren't so biased, no one would have this doubt."
Let's take this opportunity to prove it. If he really is her biological son, then such rumors will stop circulating.
Chu Junting remained indifferent as always, taking in the Liu family's reactions. He hadn't paid attention to these matters of the Liu family before, but now he realized that Ruozhen's guess must be true.
That guilty look on his face... couldn't escape his notice at all.
Mother Liu looked at Father Liu in a panic. Father Liu's face was also not good, but he was just a minor official, how could he dare to be presumptuous in front of the King of Chu?
If they really became the grandson-in-law, that would be fine, but now that the Song family has lost all ties with them, there's no hope left.
Song Ruozhen glanced at Liu Ruyan, who understood why her daughter was doing this, and immediately nodded.
Since the breakup wasn't thorough before, let's take advantage of today's presence in front of so many people to completely sever ties!
Soon, Song Ruozhen had someone fetch two candles, and she took out talisman paper and cinnabar, and began to draw talismans.
Everyone watched as Song Ruozhen dipped her hand in cinnabar and drew a strange and wonderful totem on the talisman paper.
While it appears to be drawn without any particular method, a golden light seems to flash across it when it is successfully drawn, making the entire talisman seem infinitely mysterious.
Considering that Song Ruozhen had previously helped the Xu family find their missing daughter and helped the Dong family find the murderer who killed their young master, she now seemed truly mysterious, yet subconsciously convincing.
“Mother, Grandmother, each of you should drip a drop of blood onto this talisman.”
Liu Ruyan picked up the dagger beside her and, without hesitation, cut her fingertip, a drop of blood falling onto the talisman.
Liu's mother, however, refused to step forward, saying, "No, I'm afraid of blood, I..."
Chu Junting gave a wink, and Yun Yang stepped forward and, without saying a word, used a dagger to cut Liu's mother's finger, dripping the blood onto the talisman.
Liu's mother, who was originally planning to feign fainting, was speechless.
Liu Feiyan, who was preparing to follow Liu's mother in the play, said: "..."
The blood was absorbed the moment it dripped into the talisman, and at the same time, Song Ruozhen lit the two candles she had prepared beforehand.
"If the mother is truly born to the maternal grandmother, the candle will not go out; if she is not her biological mother, the candle will not be able to be relit after it goes out."
"To be fair, I drew two talismans. My maternal grandmother and my mother checked them once, and then my aunt checked them again."
As she spoke, Song Ruozhen handed the talisman to Chu Junting.
If she were to light it, the Liu family would likely try every means to deny it once the results were in. But if Chu Junting were to light it, it would undoubtedly shut them up completely.
Hearing that this family reunion was so miraculous, everyone's eyes filled with curiosity.
Reluctantly, Liu Feiyan pricked her finger and dripped blood onto the talisman. Ever since she learned that Song Ruozhen had used her oath in the hunting grounds to invite divine punishment, which had killed the two liars, she had been filled with fear.
This woman is clearly a demon!
I don't know how Liu Ruyan could have given birth to such a daughter and still treat her like a treasure!
Chu Junting quickly lit the talisman, and everyone watched as the four candles burned brightly. However, as the talisman gradually burned out, it seemed as if an invisible energy was pulling the candles away.
Then, everyone witnessed the talisman stained with the blood of Liu's mother and Liu Ruyan burn out completely, and the candlelight went out at the same time.
In contrast, the candles representing Liu's mother and Liu Feiyan were still burning brightly.
Upon seeing this, a gasp of astonishment erupted from the crowd.
"My God, they really were wiped out! Doesn't this mean that Madam Song really wasn't their biological daughter?"
"No wonder they've been so biased all these years, so he's not their biological son. That makes all the difference!"
"Actually, if you look closely, Madam Song and the Liu family don't look alike at all. Madam Song is exceptionally beautiful in this family, while Liu Ruyan looks much like her."
As everyone carefully examined Liu Ruyan and the others' appearances, they became even more certain that they were not their biological children.
Liu Ruyan was furious when she heard the implication in everyone's words that they thought she was ugly.
From a young age, she realized that she was not as pretty as Liu Ruyan. Whenever the two sisters went out together, people would always praise the older sister for her beauty, and she would also say that she was not bad.
It was precisely because of this that she had hated Liu Ruyan since she was a child!
"No, this is impossible!" Mother Liu cried out. "Ruyan is the child I carried for ten months; she could never be my own!"
As she spoke, she anxiously tried to relight the candle, and Liu Jia Dalang, who was standing nearby, stepped forward to light it.
However, just as Song Ruozhen had predicted, the candle simply could not be lit.
Seeing this, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but blow on the candle that represented her, only to find that the flame couldn't be extinguished no matter how hard she tried. Even with great force, the flame remained steady, which made her feel a chill.
"Ruyan is my biological daughter. You must have used some underhanded tactics to disown us. This is incredibly cruel!"
Pointing at Song Ruozhen, Liu's mother said fiercely, "How could you be so unfilial! Just for a little money, you don't even care about family ties?"
"Madam Liu, Miss Song has already experienced it. Everyone saw it clearly. How could she have used tricks?"
When the Gu family arrived, they saw such a lively scene. They did not make a sound to disturb them, but quietly watched everything from the crowd.
Gu Qingyan only spoke after Liu's mother started arguing and questioning Song Ruozhen.
"They clearly used underhanded tactics!" Mother Liu shouted angrily, but her expression changed the moment she saw Gu Qingyan.
Song Ruozhen remained calm and composed, saying, "Why don't you have Grandmother make an oath? If she's still alive after making the oath, then everyone will believe her."
