The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 491 Blood Test

Zhao Ting'er looked at Cao Fangruo who was standing there staring at her hatefully, and was shocked by her appearance.

This is most likely that damn girl Cao Fangruo. How could she be so lucky? Humph, I could kill you many years ago, and I can do it today too!

After thinking about it, she bowed to the prefect and said with a smile: "Sir, as everyone knows, my Fang Ruo fell off a cliff and died many years ago. I don't know where this woman came from. She wants to slander us mother and daughter without any evidence. Please punish her severely!"

The prefect's face turned serious, he knocked the gavel lightly, looked at Cao Fangruo and asked, "Cao, you keep saying that you are the daughter of General Cao, but do you have any evidence?"

Cao Fangruo stood up when Zhao Ting'er fell just now. Her daughter Xi'er was right. There was no reason for these two vicious women to stand while she, the victim, had to kneel down obediently.

She had seen that the prefect had a close relationship with Zhao Ting'er, so she was no longer respectful to the prefect. She looked at him deeply and sneered.

The prefect felt a little frightened by her look.

"Oh! Your Excellency, Zhao Ting'er said that I died many years ago. May I ask if my body has been found?"

When the prefect heard Cao Fangruo's question, he turned his attention to Zhao Ting'er and her daughter. Many years ago, he had not yet come to Beijing to serve as an official and did not know about these past events.

"We didn't find my sister's body, but common sense says that it's impossible for a person to be alive after falling from such a high place. There are many wild animals there, and her body might have been eaten by them long ago! My sister only has a cenotaph, but this doesn't prove that you are her!"

Cao Fangqing had regained her composure, and she raised her chin and looked at Cao Fangruo with disdain.

"Yes, most ordinary people would die if they fell from such a high place, but the King of Hell felt that I was too wronged and did not deserve to die, so he let me stay alive to come back and seek revenge on you, a vicious mother and daughter! I am not the only one who died in your hands, right? Didn't you dream about those wronged souls coming back to claim your lives at night?"

Cao Fangruo walked step by step to Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing, with the tip of his nose almost touching Cao Fangqing's face.

Looking at the raging fire in Cao Fangruo's eyes, Cao Fangqing suddenly felt panicked and couldn't help but take two steps back.

She couldn't help but touch her arm. Why did the hall suddenly become so cold? Her hair stood on end.

"Hmph! Stop trying to scare people here. We, mother and daughter, have done nothing wrong, so we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on our door. Don't waste the prefect's time. If there is no actual evidence to prove that you are Cao Fangruo, then you can just wait to be thrown into jail!"

Seeing that her daughter was a little frightened, Zhao Ting'er stood in front of her, looked directly at Cao Fangruo, and spoke calmly.

"Don't worry, someone who can prove that I am Cao Fangruo is here!"

After Cao Fangruo finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Cao Zhu in the crowd and smiled.

"Sir, this is my sister, Cao Fangruo. I can testify to this!"

"If the prefect still has doubts, our family can testify."

The prefect looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cao Zhu and the old prime minister's family walking into the hall. He hurriedly stood up and greeted them with a smile: "The old prime minister and General Cao are here. Someone prepare the chairs!"

"No need, we just need to stand here with my niece, and the prefect can handle the case according to the rules. My family will definitely cooperate!"

"I won't sit down when my general's sister is so frail and still standing!"

Looking at the old prime minister who had many disciples and General Cao, the regent's confidant, the prefect's head twitched and he couldn't help but raise his hand to press his temple.

Before he knew what to do, another voice came from the door, "If they still can't prove Fang Ruo's identity, then I, as her biological father, will never recognize the wrong daughter!"

Hearing General Cao's voice, Zhao Ting'er suddenly turned her head and looked at him. Seeing that his gaze was fixed on Cao Fangruo, his eyes were full of care, her heart sank.

"Dad! My sister died a long time ago, don't just recognize your daughter!"

Cao Fangqing was completely panicked. She ran to General Cao and pulled his sleeve and shouted.

"Let go, I don't have a daughter as cruel as you!"

General Cao shook off Cao Fangqing's hand and scolded her. Looking at his daughter whom he had loved since she was a child, he was filled with disappointment.

"Fang Qing, are you okay? Come on, get up!"

Zhao Ting'er saw her daughter being thrown to the ground by her husband, and she looked distressed. She carefully helped her daughter up, then took a deep breath, walked to General Cao and smiled softly: "Husband, this matter is serious, it is better to be cautious. Since you are here, how about a blood test with this woman?"

After saying that, he turned to the old prime minister and said, "Uncle, it would be a big joke if we make the wrong identification. Since she said she is the real Cao Fangruo, why should we be afraid of the verification?"

General Cao and the others were about to refuse, but Cao Fangruo spoke up: "Okay, let's test it!"

Since this vicious woman wanted to make a fuss about her identity, she would make her give up completely!

When Zhao Ting'er heard that Cao Fangruo agreed, she was delighted and gave the prefect a wink.

"Someone, go get some clean water."

The prefect understood and gave instructions to the official standing beside him.

The officer moved quickly. In just a few breaths, he walked up to General Cao with a bowl of water.

General Cao remained calm, pulled out a dagger, cut his finger, and blood dripped into the bowl.

The officer bowed to him, held the bowl and walked up to Cao Fangruo, asking her to drop blood.

"Fang Ruo, use this."

Seeing Cao Fangruo take out a dagger from her arms, General Cao quickly walked up to her, snatched the dagger, and handed a needle to her.

Cao Fangruo paused for a moment, but did not refuse. He picked up the needle and squeezed a drop of blood into the bowl.

Leng Linglong, who was standing behind her, picked up her finger, put it to her mouth and blew on it, then said angrily, "Why did you pierce it so deep? It doesn't hurt."

Seeing that the old prime minister's family, General Cao, and the major general were all concerned about Cao Fangruo, the prefect secretly regretted that he should not have helped Zhao Ting'er for the sake of his mentor's face and the friendship they had when they were studying together. Now he could only hope that these people would not discover the trick.
