Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations There was one more thing she didn't say. The DNA test could only prove that the child was a member of the paternal family. As for whether or not it was the child's father's, no one knew. It could even be the child's uncle's or grandfather's...
But, saying this was asking for a scolding. As long as the DNA test proved that the child was a member of the family, everything else would be left to the family. But, she still reminded, "For accuracy, it's best to let the child's father do it himself!"
"Sure, sure. Do mine first. Do the DNA test," Elder Tang said as he nodded his head.
This time, the results came out very quickly. It was now confirmed that Bingtang and Elder Tang's DNA were very similar. In other words, Bingtang was from the hidden Tang Family! Although there was still a possibility that she was a member of the maternal family, the paternal DNA test had also come out. There was no doubt that Bing Tang was a member of the hidden Tang family.
"Tang Tang! It really is you! "Xiao Ming looked at the results and hugged Bing Tang excitedly.
But, Bing Tang's heart wasn't as excited as she had imagined. Instead, it was filled with bitterness... She didn't know how she was going to face this. She had acknowledged Xiao Ming as her mother, but what about the hidden Tang family?
"Palace Mistress... may I take the liberty to call you my granddaughter..." Grandfather Tang grinned from ear to ear. Sure enough, the Ice Palace Mistress was the granddaughter of the hidden Tang Family. This was a piece of good news!
"I need some peace and quiet..." Bing Tang waved her hand and walked out of the hospital...
Seeing Bing Tang leave, Little Qing sighed and said to Elder Tang and Xiao Ming, "You guys go back to the inn and rest. Once the Palace Master has thought things through, she will come and find you."
Because Bing Tang's attitude wasn't clear, Little Qing didn't know how she was going to face the Tang family. So, her tone towards Elder Tang and Xiao Ming was very polite.
"Good... good!" Elder Tang thought to himself. There was an 80% chance this time, right? Seeing Little Qing's attitude, he knew that she treated the hidden Tang family differently!
So, Elder Tang didn't rush her. He returned to the inn with Tang Yuyu and Xiao Ming and waited patiently for news from the Ice Palace!
Rock Candy's heart was in a mess. She hadn't seen her parents for almost 20 years. Now they suddenly appeared in front of her. Should she recognize them or not? Judging from how Bingtang treated the hidden Tang family, it was already good enough that she didn't cause trouble for them.
However, when she thought of Xiao Ming, Bingtang's heart softened. Her mother was innocent, everything was done by her black-hearted father! Hence, it was fine if they wanted to acknowledge each other. Bingtang only wanted to acknowledge her mother. As for her relationship with the hidden Tang Family, she could let it go on account of her mother. But as for the Young Mistress, she had to scram back to where she came from. Xiao Ming would be the Young Mistress from now on!
This was the only right that Bingtang could fight for for her mother! As the saying goes, even an upright official can't settle a family dispute. Although Bingtang was angry, she couldn't do anything to the hidden Tang Family with her mother in the middle, so she could only fight for some benefits for her mother!
Of course, he believed that if he really did acknowledge her as his relative, that young mistress would have no choice but to scram even if he did not say anything. In terms of backing, no matter how powerful the hidden family behind her was, it was nothing in front of the Ice Palace!
The hidden level and the ancient level were not on the same level at all.
Bingtang sighed faintly. "Aunt Qing, what should I do? Do I acknowledge her or not? "
Now, although she still needed to do a DNA test with Boss Tang, all the signs indicated that Bingtang was from the hidden Tang Family. This was an indisputable fact! "Palace Master, actually, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as Palace Master has the right attitude, it will be fine." Little Qing sighed and said, "It's true that the hidden Tang Family gave birth to you, but the Ice Palace raised you, so you don't have to be conflicted. Acknowledging your relative is just acknowledging an identity, but this identity doesn't mean anything! From what I know, many ancient sects and ancient families have secretly supported some hidden families and small sects as their eyes and ears and spokespersons. Hence, developing the hidden Tang Family into the eyes and ears of the Ice Palace isn't a bad idea! Also, I can see that your mother is a kind person. When the time comes, we can just bring her to the Ice Palace to live, and she won't have to suffer in the hidden Tang Family! "
"That's true …" Bingtang was suddenly enlightened after hearing Little Qing's words. That's right, so what if she acknowledged her relative? It only represented an identity, and she didn't need to promise anything to the hidden Tang Family. On the contrary, the hidden Tang Family could become the eyes and ears of the Ice Palace!
If she acknowledged her relative, the hidden Tang Family wouldn't dare order her to do anything for them. This was just a way for them to show off to the outside world, so Bingtang didn't mind.
"Isn't that it? Hehe, it's always a good thing to have an extra pair of eyes and ears. "Little Qing said.
"Alright, then we'll acknowledge her. Get that … Boss Tang here for a DNA test." Bingtang still couldn't bring herself to call him father. After all, what Boss Tang did back then was worse than an animal!
"Alright, I'll talk to them." Little Qing nodded. This kind of small matter didn't require Bingtang to make another trip, Little Qing could do it for her.
Elder Tang didn't expect to receive news so quickly. Seeing Little Qing, he didn't dare to be negligent and said respectfully, "This Tang greets Elder Qing. May I ask Elder Qing, about the Palace Master …"
"The Palace Master said to get Young Master Tang here for a DNA test. If it's confirmed, then this marriage can be acknowledged," Little Qing said calmly. "However, Elder Tang, don't think too much about it. Although the Ice Palace Master is part of the hidden Tang Family, she isn't someone that the hidden Tang Family can control!"
"This Tang naturally understands!" Elder Tang wasn't an idiot. How could the Ice Palace listen to the words of the hidden Tang Family? His purpose here was only to acknowledge the Ice Palace. With this relationship, as long as the Ice Palace took care of the hidden Tang Family, the hidden Tang Family's meteoric rise was just around the corner. He wouldn't ask the Ice Palace to do anything, because that wasn't realistic. It was the behavior of a fool.
"It's good that you understand." It wasn't easy for Rock Candy to say these words, but it wasn't a problem for Little Qing to say it. "Also, the Palace Lord said that she really doesn't like that Young Master. As for Xiao Ming's identity, you know what to do, right?"
These words were said in front of Tang Yuyu, but Tang Yuyu didn't have any inappropriate expression! He was an honest man and looked down on his biological mother's actions. He felt that it was not the behavior of a good wife, but that it was harming his father!
Chapter 1629 Going Out Together
On the other hand, he admired Third Concubine's character very much. Thus, he had played with Third Concubine since he was young. His relationship with Third Concubine was even deeper than that of his biological mother!
So, without waiting for Elder Tang to express his opinion, Tang Yuyu spoke first, "No matter what, no matter how bad that woman is, she is still my mother. Elder Qing, do you think it's possible for her to switch places with Third Aunt? I've been close to Third Yiniang since I was young, and I've always treated her like a mother. Third Yiniang can prove this … "
Although Tang Yuyu's words were clear, he was actually telling Little Qing that his mother and Xiao Ming's positions had been swapped! Since his residence had changed, his identity had naturally changed as well! It was just that he wasn't ruthless.
"I can prove this … I've brought Yuyu along to play since he was young. He has always been very fond and respectful of me …" Xiao Ming hurriedly added.
"Sure." Little Qing nodded her head. "Then, it's decided. When Boss Tang arrives, you can ask Xiao Li, who is also Manager Li, to contact me."
"This … Elder Qing, it will be this Tang's eightieth birthday soon. Everyone in the Tang family will be attending, including my cousin's branch family. So, do you think the Palace Lord can also attend as a member of the Tang family?" Elder Tang asked carefully. "If that's the case, it won't be too late to do a DNA test when we get there!"
"I can't make this decision. I'll ask the Palace Master first before giving you an answer." Little Qing didn't express her opinion, she just took note of it.
"Okay, okay!" Elder Tang nodded his head happily. "Elder Qing, thank you!"
Little Qing waved her hand.
Without saying a word, she turned around and left Elder Tang's room. Then, she floated away …
After hearing Little Qing's words, Bing Tang hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Elder Tang's request. Firstly, she wanted to see the place where she was born. Secondly, she wanted to use this opportunity to go out and experience the world. It could be said that Bing Tang had spent the past 20 years in the Ice Palace and had never left it. News from the outside world came from the Outer Sect. She had never seen the outside world!
So, Elder Tang's suggestion moved her. It wasn't because she wanted to give Elder Tang face, but because she wanted to go out and experience the world.
"OK, I'll go." Bing Tang nodded her head. "Go and reply to him. Since it's his 80th birthday, his family members can attend. If he wants to use this opportunity to show off his power and invite people from other families, I won't make an appearance."
How smart was Bing Tang? How could she not know what Elder Tang was thinking? It was better for her to keep a low profile when it came to attending the birthday banquet. If the Ice Palace wanted the hidden Tang Family to work for them, they needed to control the situation well. They couldn't let the hidden Tang Family get overconfident and use the Ice Palace's name to do bad things.
"I understand, Palace Master!" Qing nodded.
"I'll go see my little junior sister. Bring her along this time. She's new here, and she's not used to it. I'm afraid she'll get sick." Bing Tang said. It was obvious that she cared a lot about Xiaoxiao.
"Okay, alright! I'll go talk to the hidden Tang Family right now … "Qing nodded and went back. Bing Tang, on the other hand, flew towards the peak of the mountain with the most energy.
Xiaoxiao hadn't slacked off ever since she entered the Ice Palace. Other than eating and sleeping, she was here every day. She was one of the most hardworking people in the Ice Palace, but everyone understood the heavy responsibility on her shoulders- she was an inheritor, a very important person- she had to exist to open Sky class island.
"Senior sister?" Xiaoxiao stopped and raised her head to see Crystal Candy standing not far from her. She paused, "Why are you here?"
With Xiaoxiao's current strength, naturally, she couldn't sense Bing Tang's arrival.
"Xiaoxiao, are you used to the Ice Palace?" Bing Tang sat beside Xiaoxiao, not putting on any airs like a Palace Master should.
"It's alright …" Xiaoxiao wasn't too happy that she couldn't see Lin Yi anymore, but thinking that this short separation was for the sake of a long life together, she got over it.
"I'm going out in a few days. Do you want to come with me?" Bing Tang asked.
"Going out? To where? Can I go see Lin Yi honey? "Xiaoxiao asked excitedly.
"I …" Bing Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Xiaoxiao was acting like she didn't care before, but now she was excited after hearing that she could go out. But Bing Tang didn't want her to go see Lin Yi. To be honest, Bing Tang really didn't think much of Lin Yi's strength. He was known as the strongest under Earth class, but she wouldn't even look at him if he was the strongest under Sky class, let alone Earth class.
Xiaoxiao would become an inheritor in the future, and she would have the chance to step into Sky Dao and reach that legendary level. At that time, Lin Yi's strength would be laughably weak in her eyes. Would she still be so attached to Lin Yi?
But, according to Bingtang's observations, it seemed like it was possible. The relationship between these two couldn't be measured by strength. Lin Yi was a Mystic, but he joined the trial for Xiaoxiao, who had no strength at all, and he even offended people stronger than him. This proved this point.
"The two places are quite far from each other. I don't know if it's okay. If we have time, we can meet." Bing Tang didn't reject her junior sister's request. She was strict with others in the Ice Palace, but she couldn't be strict with this weird junior sister!
Whether you were strict or not, the way she talked to you didn't change at all. Even when Rock Candy was with her, she unconsciously became a little neurotic.
"Sure!" Xiaoxiao was very happy. "I'm a golden class now. Lin Yi honey will be very happy when he sees this!"
Xiaoxiao's speed wasn't slow at all- in less than a month, she had become a golden class. This kind of speed could only be achieved in the heritage grounds with a special constitution and a special practitioner's arts.
"…" Bing Tang was speechless.
The next day, Bing Tang, Xiaoxiao, and Qing left on their journey. With them was Elder Tang, Tang Yuyu, and Qing from the hidden house!
At the same time, the hidden Tang Family had finally received confirmation from Grandfather Tang and found out the purpose of his visit!
Before, Elder Tang hadn't confirmed Bing Tang's identity, so naturally, he wouldn't say anything. If Tang Yuyu really did get the wrong person, then things would get out of hand!
Not only would Hidden House Tang be a joke, but the Ice Palace might even blame them!
Chapter 1630 – Very Confused
But now, Bing Tang's identity was basically set in stone. Naturally, he would tell his family.
Hidden in the Tang Family, Eldest Tang looked at his legal wife, You Xiaoxin, with a dark expression. He slapped her face and trembled in anger. "You wastrel, you threw away Xiao Ming's child back then. Look at you now, she's the Ice Palace's Palace Master! When she comes back, you'll be waiting for death! It's not just you, even your hidden House Youxiaoxin will be finished! "
Youxiaoxin covered her swollen face, not daring to say anything. She was arrogant, but that was because she had the backing of Hidden House Youxiaoxin. But now, Hidden House Youxiaoxin wasn't like an ant in the eyes of the Ice Palace. It was the difference between a tiger and a cat!
So, Youxiaoxin didn't dare to say anything. She really regretted it a little. She should've drowned the child and not thrown him away! She didn't expect that the child didn't die, and even became the Sect Master of the Ice Palace!
One could say that she didn't regret it even now. This woman was hopeless!
"You're the death of me! When the time comes, you can beg for mercy on your knees. Don't drag me down with you! " Big Tang's first time acting tough in front of his wife. Now, he was in trouble. Even if Bing Tang came back, Elder Tang would be fine, and Xiao Ming would be fine. The ones who would be in trouble would be him and Youxiaoxin!
Youxiaoxin lowered her head and didn't say anything. She was also very afraid, but being afraid was useless. At this time, she could only think of a way to escape!
"I … I'll move into Xiao Ming's room today and give this place to her, okay … I hope it won't affect our hidden House Youxiaoxin …" Youxiaoxin said carefully.
"Hmph! Then get lost! "Big Tang's brother roared.
Of course, in the entire hidden House Youxiaoxin, other than Big Tang's branch, the remaining brothers were very happy. They didn't participate in what happened back then, so if Big Tang fell this time, they would have a chance to take over!
However, unexpectedly, after Bing Tang came to live in the hidden House Youxiaoxin, she didn't start a massacre. As for Youxiaoxin, who had already moved into Xiao Ming's cold courtyard, Bing Tang didn't bother with her either. It was as if she had ignored her. This made Big Tang heave a sigh of relief!
Since Bing Tang could forgive Youxiaoxin, she could definitely forgive Big Tang too!
"Tang Tang, how is it? Are you used to this room …" That night, Big Tang, accompanied by Elder Tang, came to Bing Tang's room, wanting to get close to her.
Bing Tang frowned slightly, "We haven't done the DNA test yet, I don't want to see you."
"I …" Big Tang was a little awkward, "Haha, we're going to do the test tomorrow …"
"Why don't you understand, you old man? I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me? " After finding out about Bingtang's background, Xiaoxiao hated Boss Tang to the core. She was a person who dared to love and hate, and she wanted nothing more than to kick a heartless man like him to death!
Big Tang didn't know Xiaoxiao's identity, but he heard that Qing was Bing Tang's aunt, an elder of the Ice Palace who raised Bing Tang! Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was only golden class, and she didn't know how to hide. One look and he knew that she was just a normal maid!
Big Tang didn't dare say anything when Bing Tang and Qing scolded him, but being scolded by a 'maid' like this … Big Tang's face was a little embarrassed! He was the head of the Hidden Tang House, an Earth class late phase peak master. Being told to scram by a golden class early phase girl made his face turn ugly. "I say, little girl, I'm the father of your palace master. Don't you think it's a bit rude for you to say something like that?"
"She's my junior sister, the next Ice Palace Master," Bing Tang said faintly, "Is there a problem with talking to you like that?"
"Huh?" Tang Big Bro was stunned. After listening to Rock Candy's words, he nearly choked to death! Junior sister? The next Ice Palace Master? Why was she only golden class? What was going on?
Of course, if what Bingtang said was true, then even if Xiaoxiao, the next Sect Master of Ice Palace, beat him up as a Golden class, Boss Tang wouldn't dare fight back!
As if noticing Big Tang's doubt, Qing explained, "Xiaoxiao entered the Ice Palace less than a month ago, and she was just a normal person before. But the Palace Master has already decided that she will be the next Palace Master! She'll become a Sky class soon! "
"Cough!" Big Tang was even more shocked- from a normal person to a golden class in less than a month, what kind of speed was that? So fast? She really was the next Palace Master! Big Tang said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, young master, I … I didn't know …"
"Hmph!" Xiaoxiao hmphed and ignored him.
"Go ahead, Head Tang," Qing said faintly, gesturing for them to leave.
The results of the DNA test were out of everyone's expectations- what was supposed to be a sure thing turned out to be a dramatic change!
Bingtang's DNA was similar to Big Tang's, but it wasn't at the father-daughter level. It was very similar to Elder Tang's and Bingtang's results! In other words, Bingtang was a member of House Tang, but not Big Tang's daughter!
After hearing this news, Big Tang's face turned green. He really wanted to scold Xiao Ming! She actually hooked up with another man in House Tang, and he felt guilty all this time. If he knew that Bingtang was a bastard, he wouldn't have needed to do anything and would've killed her!
But now, even if he hated her, he couldn't express it! It didn't matter whether he was Bingtang's father or not. To Bingtang, he was just a passerby. If he dared to do anything to Xiao Ming, Bingtang would probably kill him with one slap!
So, no matter how much he hated her, he didn't dare to say anything.
After Elder Tang received the results of the test, he seemed to have aged a few years. He shouted, "Misfortune, misfortune! How could something like this happen! "
Normally, when such a scandal happened in a family, the first thing they should do was to find the child's mother, Xiao Ming, and ask her who the father was!
But, no one in the hidden Tang family dared to do so, because Bingtang was standing behind Xiao Ming. As long as Bingtang didn't agree, no one could force Xiao Ming to do anything!
Bingtang looked at the test report expressionlessly.
Actually, to Bingtang, it was enough that the mother was confirmed. As for who the father was, it didn't matter!
Chapter 1632 – Helpless Result
In the Tang family, other than Tang Yuyu, Bingtang didn't like anyone else!
Although this seemed like a family scandal, abandoning Bingtang back then was already a huge family scandal. This kind of small matter wasn't much! And Bingtang didn't even have the intention to ask Xiao Ming. Since that was the case, it was even better. As for the hidden Tang family's attitude, it was easier for Bingtang to handle it. She treated the hidden Tang family as a family member. Without the restriction of familial ties, Bingtang felt much better!
Just like the secular House Yu and the hidden House Yu, Bingtang's relationship with the hidden Tang family was the same!
Since she couldn't ask Bingtang, she could only ask her own family members!
In the hidden Tang family's conference room, Old Man Tang sat on the main seat with a fierce expression. He looked at all the members of the hidden Tang family and slammed the table heavily. "Speak! Who did it back then? If you speak now, I won't pursue the matter, nor can I. With Ice Palace Master Bingtang's status, this matter can only be treated as a family scandal. But if I find out who did it, don't blame me for being impolite! "
After many years of accumulated power, Old Man Tang's words carried enormous weight in the Tang family. So, after Old Man Tang finished speaking, everyone in the Tang family was very careful. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly!
"Not speaking? None of you want to speak? " Old Man Tang waited for a long time. Seeing that no one spoke, he slammed the table and sneered. "Alright, since no one wants to speak, then everyone can go and do a DNA test for me. I want to see who did it!"
Of course, after Old Man Tang finished speaking, no one spoke. They all lowered their heads in silence. They all had their own thoughts.
"Fine. Since that's the case, Yuyu, call the doctor over and do a DNA test for everyone!" Old Man Tang said angrily.
"Yes … grandfather …" Tang Yuyu smiled bitterly. He had never imagined a situation like this. He never imagined that his third auntie would have Bingtang's child! But, he couldn't simply speak about this matter. All he could do was follow his grandfather's instructions and call the doctor over to do a DNA test for every member of the Tang family in the conference room!
After the doctor arrived, Old Man Tang observed every member of the Tang family in the conference room. He realized that every member of the Tang family was calm and collected. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with them. They didn't show any signs of guilt!
This made Old Man Tang a little confused. What was going on? Could it be that Bingtang wasn't their child?
The results of the DNA test were quickly released. Just as Old Man Tang had guessed, Bingtang was related to them by blood. But, she wasn't related by birth! None of these people were Bingtang's father!
Old Man Tang had no other choice but to pass this information to Xiao Ming. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he hoped that she would tell him what happened in the past!
But, Xiao Ming felt wronged. Back then, she had only had a relationship with Eldest Brother Tang. After that, she had Bingtang. She had never had any contact with other men, so it was impossible for her to have an illicit relationship with another man!
Although the Tang family didn't say anything, the way they looked at Xiao Ming was a little strange. When Xiao Ming arrived at the conference room, she felt her face burning! She really didn't want to come, but she had no choice!
This matter was related to her innocence, so Xiao Ming had to explain herself!
But, how was she going to explain herself? How was Xiao Ming going to prove herself? Just as Xiao Ming was at a loss of what to do, someone walked into the conference room that surprised everyone!
"Uncle Da, why are you here?" Big Bro Tang looked at Uncle Dab as he walked into the meeting room. Although Uncle Dab was Grandfather Tang's trusted aide, he would never participate in a family meeting like this one. He was just a servant, so he knew his place very well.
"This old servant deserves to die a thousand times! It's all my fault! "Uncle Da knelt in front of Elder Tang as he walked into the conference room.
"Ah?" Uncle Da's sudden action stunned Grandfather Tang. They were just talking about Xiao Ming's matter, why was Uncle Da here to join in the fun? Could it be that Bingtang was Uncle Da's child? That was impossible. Uncle Da was just a servant and had no blood relations with the Tang family. Not to mention now, even if there were a few generations of them, the chances of this happening were almost zero. What did he do wrong?
So, Elder Tang furrowed his brows and said, "Old Da, what are you trying to do? What did you do wrong? What did you do wrong? We are currently discussing serious matters. If you made a mistake, can we talk about it later? "
"Old master, please let this old servant finish!" Uncle Da said, "This old servant wants to talk about how Third Young Master molested his daughter back then …"
"What? You know? Hurry up and tell me! "Elder Tang asked as soon as he heard the reason for Uncle Da's visit.
"Yes!" Uncle Da said, "Back then, Eldest Young Mistress ordered a servant to throw away TangTang. This old servant couldn't bear to do so. No matter what, she was still Eldest Young Master's flesh and blood. If she was thrown into the snow, how could she possibly survive? So, this old servant thought of a way to protect the child … "
"What do you mean? Explain it clearly! "Elder Tang furrowed his brows. He felt that something was wrong.
"Yes! Back then, a member of the Tang family's side branch had also given birth to a daughter. They brought their daughter to the Tang family to register her in the family tree. This old servant took this opportunity to swap TangTang with their child. The child that was thrown away was the daughter of the Tang family's side branch, not Eldest Young Master's daughter, TangTang … "Uncle Da continued," As for the real TangTang, she must have been brought back to be raised by the Tang family's side branch … because newborn babies all look the same, they shouldn't have realized it was a mistake, so … "
"What?!" After Elder Tang heard this, he nearly fainted. This meant that Rock Candy was the daughter of the Tang family's side branch and not Eldest Young Master Tang's bloodline! In this way, it made sense why Bingtang's DNA matched most of the members of the Tang Family. It was because they were related by blood!
But, this caused the Tang family to suffer. Originally, he was overjoyed to bring Rock Candy back. This way, the Tang family would have a backer. But, from the looks of it, it was all for naught. This really made Elder Tang sad!
"Ah! This means that Rock Candy isn't my daughter … then, my daughter … "After hearing Uncle Da's words, Xiao Ming was shocked.
