Old Madam Zhan's face was burning with anger. How did she know that Zhan Yan also liked to drink almond tea?

She only knew that her enemy loved to drink!

She argued cunningly: "You can't doubt your own life experience just because I don't understand your preferences. Zhan Yan, let's stop making trouble, okay? If there is anything, we can talk about it at home."

Zhan Yan doesn't want to let things go peacefully. The suspicion in his heart is growing, and he must get the truth!

He said calmly, "You are the one who made this matter so drastically wrong. If I don't let you have your way, I will be criticized by everyone again. Now let's do a blood test. I'll trouble you all to be witnesses!"

Old Madam Zhan felt as if she was being roasted on a fire, her head heavy and her feet light.

Zhan Duoer leaned close to her ear and whispered anxiously, "Grandma, what should we do? Or should we pretend to faint?"

Old Madam Zhan was so anxious that she was shaking all over. Even if she pretended to faint, her blood could still be taken.

What a sin! I shouldn’t have blindly rushed in here!

Now, Zhan Yan has turned the tables and detained her for a blood test to determine her paternity.

If the truth were to come out, she would be embarrassed, but the most important thing would be that she would no longer have a legitimate reason to take advantage of the couple.

Just when she was feeling uneasy, the imperial physician came to her quickly with a jade bowl in hand.

He whispered, “I’m sorry, old lady!”

The silver needle suddenly pierced her finger, and she shivered in pain.

She looked down at the blood droplets growing bigger, her face full of tension.

When the imperial physician came to Zhan Yan, he immediately dropped a drop of blood into it.

Lin Yiwan's eyes were complex and obscure. As a doctor, she knew better than anyone that blood testing was not advisable. Even if they were not biological mother and child, it was possible for them to be involved.

So she could only use some small tricks. After all, she already knew that Zhan Yan was not the old lady's biological son.

Just as the imperial physician passed by her, fine powder floated into the jade bowl.

The imperial physician hadn't noticed. He quickly walked up to Emperor Sheng An and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. These two drops of blood don't show any signs of fusion at this point!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd watching the excitement began to discuss anxiously.

They never expected that Zhan Yan was not the old lady's biological son.

Madam Zhan argued forcefully, "Impossible, just wait a little longer, maybe they will merge in a while!"

Zhan Duoer stamped her feet anxiously. She couldn't lose her ties with the Marquis' Mansion.

Although she can no longer gain any real benefits now, she is still Zhan Yan's niece in name only.

By then, it will be no problem for her to marry into a wealthy family!

She clenched her fingers tightly, praying silently that the two drops of blood would merge together quickly.

Zhan Yan was also nervous, but he didn't show it.

Lin Yiwan stepped forward, held his hand, and gave him silent support.

After about a cup of tea, the imperial physician presented the jade bowl to Emperor Sheng An with a complicated expression and said, "After a blood test, it turns out that Madam Zhan and Marquis Zhan Yi are not mother and son!"

Madam Zhan immediately denied it: "Impossible, this must be a mistake. Zhan Yan is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. To deny our mother-son relationship based on just two drops of blood is too hasty and too cruel!"

Emperor Sheng An spoke without hesitation: "Zhan Yan, come and take a look too!"

Zhan Yan led Lin Yiwan forward, and when he saw the two drops of unfused blood, he let out a sardonic smile: "Then everything makes sense. I'm not her biological son, so how could she truly love me?"

Old Madam Zhan wanted to argue that she loved him, but she racked her brains and couldn't figure out what she had done for Zhan Yan.

Zhan Duoer reminded anxiously: "Grandma, please speak quickly, this blood test is not true at all, it is fake, the Marquis is your son!"

Emperor Sheng An coldly rebuked, "How dare you question the imperial physician I hired?"

Zhan Duoer was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground: "Duoer dare not, Your Majesty, the Marquis is my grandmother's biological son. This is a fact known to everyone. How can you deny their mother-son relationship based on two drops of blood?"

It would have been fine if she didn't mention this, but as soon as she did, Emperor Sheng An became extremely angry.

No wonder Concubine Zhan is so shameless, it turns out she is just following her roots!

She must be Madam Zhan's biological daughter, because both of them are equally hateful and detestable.

He took a deep breath and said, "I respect the facts. Since the imperial physician has confirmed that Zhan Yan is not Madam Zhan's biological son, she has no right to accuse him of being unfilial, nor does she have the right to interfere in any matters at the Zhan Yihou Mansion. From now on, we shall have no further connection!"

He was actually relieved. As long as Zhan Yan was exposed, even if the scandals committed by Concubine Zhan were exposed in the future, the Marquis' Mansion would not be implicated.

Madam Zhan was unwilling to accept this. She cried and beat her chest, "Your Majesty, how can you so easily erase the bond between us as mother and son? I almost lost my life giving birth to him. Is this true?"

Emperor Sheng An asked irritably, "Where is the witness from that year? Can you find it? If anyone saw you give birth to Zhan Yan with their own eyes, I will order them to take you back to the Marquis' Mansion!"

This question immediately stumped the old lady. In order to hide the truth, she had silenced all those who knew the truth.

Including the midwife and all the maids and servants serving the woman.

Seeing her panic, Emperor Sheng An laughed suddenly: "Madam Zhan can't be found, right? Because everyone is dead? How could it be such a coincidence?"

Everyone present came from aristocratic families, and everyone knew the secrets of the backyard.

Since there are no witnesses, there must be something fishy going on.

Madam Zhan argued forcefully, "It's just a coincidence. Your Majesty, no matter what, Zhan Yan is my biological son. I raised him with great difficulty. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard for him!"

Emperor Sheng An raised an eyebrow. "I remember that Zhan Yan was sent to my side when he was five years old. He was so frail at the time. He was clearly the same age as me, but a full head shorter. Not only were his clothes tattered, but he was also extremely thin. Is this the hardship you endured?"

Old Madam Zhan was immediately ashamed. She had hated Zhan Yan since she was a child, so when she heard that the palace was selecting attendants for the emperor, who was still a young prince at the time, she directly sent him in even though he was always competing with dogs for food.

She actually didn't expect Zhan Yan to become successful. She just thought that she would die in the palace.

Who would have thought that he would be awarded military merit and even be made a marquis!

The Zhan family became a noble family because of him, so she felt at ease enjoying the wealth he brought.

She felt that if she had not thrown him into the palace, he would not have become a talented person and would not have been granted a title of nobility.

She explained awkwardly: "Your Majesty, he is originally thin and weak. No matter how much good food he eats, he still can't gain weight!"
