Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Without further ado, he continued:

"Finding blood from so many people and ensuring compatibility between each pair is too troublesome. Actually, there's an easier way. I just need to find husbands and wives or mothers and children from neighboring families, and let their blood drip together. If there are any incompatible bloodstains, wouldn't that be a more direct and effective way to prove that blood-drop kinship testing is unreliable?"

Cui Rongxing pondered for a moment, then instantly felt it was feasible, and smiled:

"That's much simpler."

Wen Lang's face paled instantly.

He began to suspect that Yu Shuyan might know that he had tampered with the water.

He knew perfectly well that the blood of these children could never be mixed because of his medicine.

I couldn't help but blurt out:

"It seems there's no difference. Now that the people have been chosen, let's just verify them directly."

Yu Shuyan noticed the panic in his eyes, which further confirmed her suspicions. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but she smiled and said:

"Wen Lang, you seem a little nervous. What's wrong? Do you think that if someone else were in your shoes, the outcome would be disadvantageous?"

At this point, feigning sudden realization, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Did you tamper with these things?"

Wen Lang immediately denied it in a deep voice:

"Don't make false accusations! Lord Cui's men were watching me the whole time. How could I possibly have had a chance to do anything underhanded!"

Yu Shuyan gave a mocking laugh:

"So you mean that if no one is watching you, you'll do something shady?"

Wen Lang's face darkened considerably, and he shouted:

“Yu Shuyan, don’t spout nonsense and make malicious accusations. For a woman to speak so rudely, this alone is enough for me to divorce you.”

Yu Shuyan looked at him, his expression one of embarrassment and anger, but instead of being angry, she laughed:

"I was just saying it casually, why are you so nervous? Anyone who didn't know better would really think you were embarrassed and angry because I exposed you!"

Wenlang Qi Jie:

"You~"

Yu Shuyan, however, simply stopped him from speaking:

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you stop me again, people will really start to suspect that you've actually tampered with things."

Wen Lang was so angry with her that even with his deep cunning, his face turned extremely gloomy.

Cui Rongxing, however, said directly:

"Alright, I think this method is feasible."

Without even looking at Wen Lang, he turned directly to the crowd of onlookers and asked:

"Among the villagers present, those with parent-child relationships, would you be willing to become witnesses?"

The onlookers naturally became excited.

It can help the prefect and also serve as a witness to the authenticity of paternity verification methods that have been used for thousands of years. Who wouldn't want that?

Soon, three pairs of fathers and sons, and mothers and sons, stepped forward, pricked their fingers in three bowls of water, and let blood drip from them.

Unsurprisingly, the blood droplets in the three bowls of water did not mix together.

Everyone stared in shock at the incompatible blood droplets, unable to recover for a long time.

"How wondrous, Lady Yuan!"

Cui Rongxing was the first to exclaim in surprise.

His voice pulled everyone back from their shock.

The father in one of the three pairs of father and son hurriedly said:

"Oh my goodness, it really is my son!"

Among the onlookers, someone immediately laughed:

"Don't worry, with your son and you looking exactly alike, no one would suspect you..."

They are not father and son!

A burst of uproarious laughter erupted from the crowd.

The middle-aged man smiled and scratched his head:

"That's true, that's definitely right!"

As the laughter subsided, a woman in the crowd suddenly exclaimed:

"Women have always had it tough. Throughout history, countless women have suffered injustice because of the blood-drop test for kinship. This method of Yuan Niangzi truly brings protection and good news to women all over the world. I wonder how many women who have suffered injustice can be redeemed."

Immediately, someone echoed:

"Yes, Lady Yuan is truly a divine physician of our time! For this one thing alone, we should erect a monument and a shrine in her honor!"

"Yes, yes, let's erect a monument and build a shrine. Let's all ask the Prefect to take charge of this matter."

Immediately, everyone echoed this, pleading with Cui Rongxing to erect a monument and shrine for Lady Yuan.

Cui Rongxing raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then smiled:

"Gentlemen, the matter of erecting a monument and building a shrine is of great importance. I need to submit a memorial to the Emperor. Rest assured, I will truthfully convey your wishes to His Majesty."

As she spoke, she looked directly at Wen Lang:

"Young Master Wen, it seems that this blood test for kinship is indeed unreliable."

Wen Lang's face darkened further, but he forced a twisted, warm smile through his teeth.

"Indeed, I am ignorant. However, this does not prove that what I said is false. I witnessed Yu Shuyan's affair with my own eyes."

Yu Shuyan smiled faintly:

"Young Master Wen is truly a model scholar; he can remain silent even about his wife's affair. He is even more so for the sake of others..."

"A person who has raised children for so many years... such an upright and honest scholar is truly a rare find in our Great Yong Dynasty!"

"Pfft~"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wen Lang's already unpleasant complexion had become almost distorted and bluish-purple.

Yu Shuyan was clearly being sarcastic.

The most needed character traits for scholars are uprightness, integrity, frankness, and adherence to etiquette.

If he were Wen Lang, he would turn a blind eye to things like having children out of wedlock.

Therefore, among literati, he truly was a person of questionable character.

After all, what kind of scholar is a scholar if he lacks the integrity and character of a true scholar?

Even his appointment as an official would be affected.

He's destined for high office and a position like prime minister; if he gets this kind of reputation, then he can forget about it.

However, he was forced to admit that he was framing Yu Shuyan.

Therefore, he is also of questionable character and morally deficient.

He was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

His face was flushed red and bruised, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Yu Shuyan glanced at him mockingly, then looked at the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen, whatever Wen Lang has accused me of, I have no intention of pursuing it further. After all, without evidence, there is no need for debate when everyone has their own version of events."

"What do you think?"

Everyone echoed:

"That's right. If a few random accusations can lead to someone being accused of adultery, then what chance do we women have to survive!"

"Exactly, exactly, it's really ridiculous."

"If such a person becomes an official, how could he possibly act impartially and stand up for the people!"

"Yes, yes, we should really have a good talk about this during the village evaluation."

"Don't worry, not for anyone else, but for our own sake, we will definitely speak out truthfully and properly."

······

Listening to the crowd's discussion, Wen Lang's face was almost ashen, like that of a dead man.

Wen's mother and Wen Qing became so anxious that they pointed at the crowd and started shouting and cursing.

Yu Shuyan, too lazy to look at their ugly faces, turned directly to Cui Rongxing and gave him a slight bow:

"Lord Cui, now that the matters outside the festival have been settled..."

"Then, please let's get down to business."
