Chapter 1222: Recognizing Kin by Bone and Blood
The ten house servants immediately got to work, moving quickly.In no time, the entire coffin was revealed.
Fortunately, it had been over two years since death, so there wasn’t an especially unpleasant smell.
Bai Zhi’er stood by, watching.
Suddenly, Yuan Ruxin exclaimed, "The bottom of the coffin is all soaked!"
Bai Zhi’er crossed her arms and calmly nodded, "Yes, I told you, this isn’t a good spot."
Every time it rains, water from the mountain flows down and almost all of it seeps into the ground here.
Yuan Ruxin now understood why Bai Zhi’er said this place wasn’t suitable.
The house servants swiftly pried open the coffin lid.
Inside the coffin, apart from the white bones, there were jewels and jade surrounding the bones.
Yuan Ruxin’s father, the Regent King, because he mourned his brother’s passing, hoped that he could enjoy wealth and prosperity even after death, so he provided many burial accessories.
One of the house servants wrapped a cloth around his face and took out an arm bone.
Bai Zhi’er took out her silk handkerchief and directly held it in her hand.
Her face showed no fear; instead, she seemed to be weighing the bone to see if it was good enough!
The woman held her child tightly, watching as Bai Zhi’er approached step by step.
"Hold out your hand," Bai Zhi’er said to the child.
The girl, however, immediately burst into tears, "I want to go home, I want to find my mom, I don’t want to stay here anymore."
Yuan Ruxin asked in confusion, "Isn’t your mom right here in front of you?"
Bai Zhi’er looked at the woman, only to see cold sweat streaming down her face.
"I..." She clutched her daughter tightly and suddenly said, "You want to hurt my daughter? I will never agree to that!"
Yuan Ruxin immediately said from the side, "What do you mean, won’t agree? You’re just guilty and don’t dare to, right!"
At this point, the woman truly had no way out.
Bai Zhi’er was even more decisive and took hold of the little girl’s finger, then gently swept her fingertip.
A bead of blood appeared at the tip of the little girl’s finger.
But she widened her eyes, "It doesn’t hurt..."
There was no feeling at all.
Bai Zhi’er raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Of course, the mistake your mother made, I can’t let you, the child, bear it. It’s just taking a drop of your blood, don’t be afraid."
The girl named Xixi obediently extended her hand, and before the woman could stop her, two drops of blood fell onto the bone.
Bai Zhi’er immediately turned around, "Alright, now, just wait. Whether she’s the child of the Second Master of Yuan Mansion, we’ll know in thirty minutes."
During this time, the Protector brought by Yuan Ruxin stood near the woman, fearing she would seize the opportunity to escape.
The woman absentmindedly bit her nails, lost in thought.
But the girl Xixi actively walked over to Bai Zhi’er, "Thank you, sister."
Bai Zhi’er smiled, reaching out to pull her close, magically producing a small piece of brown sugar from her waist.
Children certainly love it; she said thank you again and accepted it with both hands to eat.
"Xixi, when sister was little, she also went alone to find her father," Bai Zhi’er said.
Xixi looked up at her, "Then did you find him, sister?"
Bai Zhi’er smiled, "I did find him. Sister was a bit luckier than you; my father was still alive."
Upon hearing this, Xixi glanced at the open coffin.
She said somewhat disappointedly, "Seems my mom lied to me."
Yuan Ruxin immediately perked up, "What do you mean by that?"
Xixi muttered, "My mom said following this aunt would lead to my dad, but my dad has turned into bones and has been dead for a long time."
