Qin Yu wasn't her father's child?
That's right!
How had she never considered this question?
Qin Yun glanced at the night sky outside the window!
Dawn was approaching!
If this suspicion were confirmed!
Then... everything would make sense!
"Qingshan, go get a drop of Qin Yu's blood! Hong Fu, you accompany me to the Qin Manor to find my father!"
Hong Fu exclaimed excitedly. "Master, are you going to do a blood test for proof?"
"Precisely. This matter must be kept from my father for now. When collecting the blood, be careful not to harm him!"
"Don't worry, Master. Your father is also half my master. I will be careful!"
"Let's go!"
Before dawn broke, Qin Yun, accompanied by Qingshan and Hong Fu, entered the Qin Manor!
The young gatekeeper, seeing Qin Yun now, trembled with fear!
He quickly opened the gate for Qin Yun, not daring to slacken in the least!
Upon entering the manor, Qin Yun gave Qingshan a meaningful glance. Qingshan nodded in response, then donned a black veil and went to the woodshed!
Hong Fu and Qin Yun went directly to Qin Yuanzhang's master bedroom!
"Bang!" Qin Yun pushed the door open directly!
Qin Yuanzhang, who had not yet fallen asleep, turned his head sharply and saw Qin Yun standing at the doorway!
"Yun'er, why are you here? You seem...?" Seeing Qin Yun in such a hurry, Qin Yuanzhang was a bit bewildered!
Qin Yun, flustered, hurried to Qin Yuanzhang's side. "Father, are you alright? Your child just had a nightmare and dreamed that you couldn't bear it because of Min Yueyue's matter and hanged yourself. Yun'er was worried about Father, so I came to check on you!"
"Father, please don't do anything foolish! Your child already has no mother, and cannot afford to lose Father, *wuwuwu*...!"
Qin Yuanzhang, who had been displeased earlier, now saw that Qin Yun had entered so rudely out of concern for him, and his heart instantly softened!
He sat up, casually put on an outer robe, and Qin Yuanzhang affectionately stroked Qin Yun's head. "Yun'er, be good, don't cry. Father would never do anything foolish for that vicious woman! Father will live a long and healthy life, watching Yun'er marry and have children, and bring honor to the family!"
Marry and have children?
Bring honor to the family?
Hearing this, Qin Yun felt a bit embarrassed!
Alright!
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to fulfill Qin Yuanzhang's wish!
In this life, the Qin family would truly end with her... sigh! Who knew she was a woman! She didn't deliberately conceal this!
"Father... *wuwu*, it's so good to see you're alright!"
"Look at you, you're so weak. You just had a nightmare, and as a grown man, you're crying. What will people think if they hear about it?"
Qin Yun buried her head in Qin Yuanzhang's embrace, and with a sideways glance, she signaled to Hong Fu!
Hong Fu understood instantly!
She hurried forward. "Young Master, please get up quickly! The ground is cold!"
"Ah! Master, I'm sorry, this servant did not mean to!" Hong Fu picked up a handkerchief and wiped the scratch on Qin Yuanzhang's hand.
Qin Yun pretended to scold Hong Fu. "What were you doing? How did you injure my father?"
Looking down at Hong Fu's long fingernails, she said, "You should trim your nails when you get back. Look how you've hurt Father!"
Qin Yun snatched the handkerchief from Hong Fu's hand and gently wiped Qin Yuanzhang's hand, saying with concern, "Father, does it hurt?"
Qin Yun felt a pang of regret!
She hated to see Qin Yuanzhang hurt the most, but in the current situation, she had no choice but to do this!
"Yun'er, this little scratch is nothing. Why scold the maidservant!"
"Father...!" Qin Yun frowned with concern!
"Alright, you must not have slept well either. While it's not yet dawn, go back and rest for a while!"
Qin Yun stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Qin Yuanzhang.
"Father, then your child will take her leave!"
"Go, go!" Qin Yuanzhang waved his hand, his face full of kindness!
After Qin Yun and Hong Fu left!
Qin Yuanzhang lowered his head and looked at the scratch on his hand!
There was still a trace of fresh blood there!
Qin Yuanzhang shook his head with a bitter smile!
He could see through these little tricks!
Oh well!
Young people have their own ideas!
If Qin Yun wants to do it, then he will cooperate!
His son was becoming more and more capable!
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for him!
Let everything be as fate decrees!
After Qin Yun returned to the manor!
Qingshan had also collected Qin Yu's blood at the same time!
Hong Fu found a white porcelain bowl and filled it halfway with water!
Then Qin Yun dripped Qin Yuanzhang's and Qin Yu's blood into the bowl!
As seconds ticked by!
The two drops of blood in the bowl still refused to merge!
Seeing this, although Qin Yun had been psychologically prepared, she was still shocked by the reality before her eyes!
Qin Yu was indeed not her father's child!
Her father had been a fool his entire life!
Not only did he raise a woman for someone else, but he also raised a daughter for someone else!
"Master, your servant guessed correctly. Qin Yu is not the Master's daughter, nor is she your sister!"
"Very good. Min Yueyue truly has her ways!"
"Master, what should we do next?" Hong Fu asked softly.
Qin Yun smiled, about to reveal her next plan!
The study door was "bang" pushed open!
A servant covered in blood scurried in. "My lord, You Da and Mr. Jin were killed by an unknown man in black! This lowly one is incompetent and failed to protect them!"
Qin Yun immediately stood up, skirted around the desk, and approached the servant. "What about the others?"
"The other guards were also injured. They lay in pools of blood, barely clinging to life. Only this lowly one managed to escape!"
Qin Yun glanced at Qingshan. "We were only gone for a moment, and the mastermind took the opportunity to kill them. It seems this person... is extremely cunning!"
"Master, let's go check the woodyard!"
Qin Yun nodded. After settling the injured servant, Qin Yun and the other two went to the woodyard!
Upon arriving at the woodyard and entering the woodshed, they saw that You Da and Mr. Jin had died from fatal blows!
Among the dead were three servants, who also sustained multiple injuries!
The servants tasked with guarding You Da and Mr. Jin were all skilled in martial arts!
It seemed the assailant's skills were exceptional!
"Alas! It was my fault for not protecting them!" Qin Yun felt a sense of self-reproach!
Although she knew that You Da and Mr. Jin were not good people, they had died because of her, and she felt uneasy about it!
"Find a good place and bury them all properly!"
Leaving the woodshed, Qin Yun said to Hong Fu, "You Da still has an unborn child, right?"
"Yes, Master!"
"If that woman learns of You Da's death, she might not give birth to the child. Keep this matter quiet for now! Inform her only after she has given birth to a child for You Da! Also, send ten thousand taels over! A pregnant woman needs nutritional supplements, and find a wet nurse to serve her!"
"Remember, when making the arrangements, use You Da's name, so that the other party will not suspect anything!"
"Yes, Master. This servant will make the arrangements!"
Qin Yun closed her eyes. This was all she could do for You Da!
If You Da's child is born safely, she will also look after them! After all, she had caused that child to lose their father!
