Epilogue - Dad's Troubles (Seven)
""Yes, that's her."Ye Bufan said, "Lu Banxia not only has superb medical skills but is also a financial genius."That year, at 17 years old, I went to Harvard University in the US to study business adm...It's chaos! Complete and utter chaos! The entire Zhao family hall is in disarray.
Ye Dianhui turned the corner, a happy smile on his face. He grasped Zhao Muyue's hand.
He took his father's words as gospel truth. After all, everyone on Earth knows about the taboo against marrying close relatives. Since Ye Bufan said Zhao Muyue wasn't Chulingxi's biological child, then she wasn't.
Si Tu Dian Mo was also pleased with his son's achievement.
And right now, the core members of the Zhao family are in utter disarray. Chu Lingxi looked at the young man in shock, then at Ye Bufan, "Senior Brother Ye, what on earth is going on"
Next to Zhao Yuan, the change was even more profound. His granddaughter had suddenly become a grandson, a momentous shift for the Zhao family.
"Holy Ancestor, what exactly is going on Please make it clear."
"All I know is that this young man is a direct descendant of your Zhao family, the biological son of Junior Sister Chu Lingxi. As for the specifics, I'm unaware. You should ask her."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Xiuxiu, Zhao Kaijiang's wife.
Now his divine sense is extremely powerful, able to easily cover the entire Tianwu State. So, he effortlessly found Chu Lingxi's bloodline aura and pulled the young man over with a wave of his hand.
At the same time, he had also seen the reactions of the entire Zhao family when they were told about the package deal.
Everyone else was shocked, but this XiuXiu's eyes showed more than just shock. There was a different kind of fear there, an instinctive reaction like someone caught stealing.
Zhao Kaijiang didn't expect this to be related to his wife. He was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "Tell me, what have you done"
"I... I don't know..."
Zhang Xiuxiu's expression was panicked, but she wanted to feign ignorance. Just then, a gleam flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes, and he directly used the Soul-Capturing Technique.
"The child was the one I had someone switch out..."
Zhang Xiuxiu gazed blankly and began to speak.
Originally, the Zhao family had a hereditary rule passed down through generations. In order to ensure the continuation of the family, only sons were eligible to become heirs to the family fortune.
Zhao Kaijang, as the eldest son, was the first to marry. Zhang Xiuxiu gave birth to three children in succession, but they were all daughters, and there was not one son.
She was an ambitious woman, determined to have her husband inherit the family business and become the heir apparent.
At this time, Zhao Tutuo's wife, Chu Lingxi, was heavily pregnant and about to give birth. She was extremely panicked inside, fearing that the position of head of the family would fall to the second son.
So, he carefully plotted and bribed the midwife to switch a newborn baby from a rural family outside town with his own.
That is to say, this young man is the one born to Chu Lingxi, a boy, while Zhao Muyue is the daughter born to that peasant family.
The farmer and his wife were just ordinary people. They were knocked unconscious by the expert she sent, and then their memories were erased without them noticing anything.
And on Zhao's side, as the head of the household, everyone unconditionally trusted her and couldn't have imagined this would happen.
Over two decades passed, and everything was peaceful. Unexpectedly, Ye Bufan arrived today and immediately saw through the bloodline connections among everyone.
"Damn you, what have you done!"
Zhao Kaijiang flew into a rage, unleashing a mighty slap. Ye Bufan also retracted his Soul-Capturing Technique. Zhang Xiuxiu instantly regained her senses and begged repeatedly, “Husband, I was wrong. But at the time, I did it for our family, for you to become the heir apparent…”
"Get out!"
Zhao Kaijiang kicked her down with one foot, and with a thud, he knelt before Zhao Yuan: "Please punish me, Father!"
Zhao Yuan's heart was in turmoil at this moment, the situation had become too complicated. It involved the inheritance of the family heir, bringing a huge impact to the Zhao family.
Now, how to deal with Zhao Kaijiang is also a problem. The fact is, this eldest son is the heir of the family.
But all of this was obtained by Zhang Xiuxiu through despicable means. According to the norm, since Chu Lingxi gave birth to this son, the eldest should inherit the family head position. Now, how should this be decided
Seeing his father's predicament, Zhao Tu stepped forward and said, "Father, since Big Brother has already inherited the position of head of the family, and now even has a son, there is no need to make any changes because of past events."
He is now overjoyed to have found his lost son and is not very interested in the position of head of the family.
Zhang Xiuxiu also quickly said, “Yes, Father. It was my fault back then. If you have to blame someone, blame me alone. It has nothing to do with my husband.”
"Well then"
Zhao Yuan was also helpless, sighed, just about to make a decision, when Ye Bufan interrupted, "Zhao Family Master, I want to ask, which one is your grandson"
As soon as he said that, a flicker of panic crossed Zhang Xiuxiu's face once again. Her eyes looked at Ye Bufan full of pleading.
Zhao Yuan, however, didn't notice these things. He beckoned a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy over and said, "Your Majesty Shengzu, this is Zhao Muchen, the third generation of my Zhao family.">
"Son, quickly go and greet the Grand Ancestor."
Just as the young man was about to bow in greeting, he was stopped by Ye Bufan extending his hand.
He sighed: “Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing, but your Zhao family has also helped raise my daughter-in-law for over twenty years. I should return the favor.”
Zhao Yuan and his two sons were all astonished: "Please enlighten us, Holy Ancestor."
Ye Bufan said: "This child is indeed Zhang Xiuxiu's, but he is not of the Zhao family bloodline."
"This..."
The short, simple words struck the Zhao family like a bolt of lightning.
The name "Yi Xian" reverberated throughout the Kunlun Continent, a legendary figure in the hearts of countless people.
Moreover, Ye Bufan had just demonstrated his own magic, so no one doubted his words.
In this case, the problem becomes much bigger. The child is Zhang Xiuxiu's biological child, but has nothing to do with Zhao Kaigang. What does that mean
This is no longer just a family affair; it involves the future of Zhao's patriarch.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Ye Bufan's appearance, thousands of years later, the Zhao family would have fallen into the hands of others, with no relation to the Zhao family bloodline.
"Damn you, why did you do this Why did you destroy me! Why did you destroy my son!"
When the ugly truth was exposed, Zhang Xiuxiu went mad and lunged at Ye Bufan with bared teeth and claws.
But the moment she moved, her head soared high into the air, blood splattering everywhere. Her soul was instantly obliterated by a single strike.
The one who made the move was none other than Zhao Yuan, the head of the Zhao family.
If what Zhang Xiuxiu did before could still be forgiven, what's happening now is absolutely unforgivable. If a bastard inherits the Zhao family's property, how can Zhao Yuan face his ancestors after he dies
Zhao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to slash Zhao Muchen with his sword when Ye Bufan stopped him.
"Children are innocent. Let's just cast him out of the Zhao family. There's no need to cause too much bloodshed."
Yes, Holy Ancestor!
Though Zhao Yuan was unwilling, he dared not disobey Ye Bufan's orders. He ordered Zhao Muchen to be expelled from the Zhao family, and then, together with all the Zhao family members, he kowtowed and thanked Ye Bufan.
It has to be said that Ye Bufan's appearance was a great help to the Zhao family. He retrieved the lost bloodline, and at the same time, preserved the pure bloodline inheritance.
"Alright, you guys handle this."
Ye Bufan's main purpose this time was to solve his daughter-in-law's problems. Now that all the trouble was gone, he took Zhao Muyue back to Earth together.
Let your mother take a look at this daughter-in-law, and you'll have completed your task thoroughly.
As for Zhao family's affairs, let them handle it themselves. It has nothing to do with me.le to cure it. It's utter nonsense."When it came to his own life and death, he was so desperate that he didn't care about Ye Bufan's identity. He spoke with great emotion, his saliva flying everywhere...
