Chapter 1221: Open the Coffin
Yuan Ruxin carried a lantern, protecting Bai Zhi’er as they walked up the mountain.The woman carrying the child walked behind Bai Zhi’er, glancing around warily and fearfully.
They arrived at the grave of the Second Master of Yuan Mansion.
She was the first to fall on the tombstone and cry bitterly: "Husband, you left too early, leaving me and our child to suffer. Now we are not recognized by your family; they won’t even let us in through the door!"
As she spoke, she pulled the little girl: "Xixi, quick, bow to your father!"
The little girl knelt woodenly: "Father!"
Yuan Ruxin quickly stopped her: "Don’t! We haven’t yet proven whether you are truly of our bloodline, don’t call him that rashly!"
The woman glared venomously at Yuan Ruxin: "Then call him anyway, after all, Second Master is already gone. If you can summon his soul, I will ask him why he was so cruel to abandon us!"
At this time, Bai Zhi’er chuckled softly: "Who said anything about summoning a soul? That’s the work of a shaman."
Everyone around was stunned, even Yuan Ruxin looked dumbfounded.
"Master, you’re not planning to summon a soul? Then... how do we get my second uncle to testify if the child is his?"
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes were jet black and clear, and he spoke with an even more casual tone: "Open the coffin."
Everyone gasped.
The woman was the first to shout: "What?! You’re disrespecting the deceased!"
Yuan Ruxin’s face also showed difficulty.
People desire for the deceased to rest in peace. To dig up someone who has been buried for two years is indeed improper.
But Yuan Ruxin trusted Bai Zhi’er, so she hesitated only slightly, not outright refusing.
Bai Zhi’er looked at the woman.
"I see you probably haven’t read much, not knowing that the forensic books have long recorded how to confirm blood relations with the deceased."
"The deceased can testify more easily. One only needs to take a small part of his bone out and drip the child’s blood on it. It may integrate into the bone."
"Indeed, the father’s bone is even better at absorbing blood than the mother’s. If the child is truly his, just wait for thirty minutes to see the result."
The woman was now thoroughly panicked; she had no idea there was such a method!
She scrambled for a reason: "You... you’re causing embarrassment to the deceased!"
The two tomb guardians also addressed Yuan Ruxin: "Miss, this puts us in a difficult position. Second Master has been buried for over two years. Without the master’s orders, we dare not let you open the coffin!"
Yuan Ruxin furrowed her brows tightly.
Bai Zhi’er looked at her and said: "Think carefully, which is more important, the so-called customs or your family’s future?"
Yuan Ruxin gritted her teeth, no longer hesitating: "Open the coffin!"
If they allowed this woman to falsely accuse them, then the Yuan Family would once again be caught by the Emperor.
Rather than accepting that, they might as well take a chance.
There was no one in the mansion who could make decisions, so she considered from the larger family’s perspective that it was necessary to try opening the coffin!
Bai Zhi’er wouldn’t set her up.
Yuan Ruxin whispered softly: "Second Uncle, if you know below the ground, please don’t be angry. I’m doing this for the good of our family."
Bai Zhi’er comfortingly patted her shoulder.
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Besides, your second uncle’s grave wasn’t set well. After the coffin is opened, I’ll fix it for him. He will like it and be grateful to you."
Yuan Ruxin felt much better hearing this.
She became even more decisive: "You go and open the grave. If my father blames us, I will take full responsibility!"
