The Council of Elders would pass judgment on Xie Deyi and Mu Yingdong tomorrow, so Lady Lianxin didn't have time to hesitate.
She got straight to the point. "Han Yunxi, your mother, Lady Tianxin, is the Mu family's fourth miss, Mu Xin. Half of the Mu family's blood flows in your veins. Even if you don't give face to the monk, you still have to give face to the Buddha. You cannot destroy the Mu family. "
Lady Lianxin assumed that Han Yunxi and the rest would be shocked by her words, but none of them were as calm as the last. They didn't react at all.
Actually, the ones who were truly calm were Long Fei Ye and Gu. Han Yunxi was still a little shocked.
Although she hadn't gotten a clear answer from Mute Granny, she had always believed that Mu Xin was Tianxin. Today, it could be said that she was certain. In that case, she and that girl Mu Ling'er were cousins. No wonder she couldn't bear to be cruel to that girl.
"You … you knew all along? You cured Mute Granny's poison? Mute Granny told you? "Lady Lianxin asked incredulously.
At the mention of the antidote, Gu's heart unconsciously throbbed with pain. He looked at Han Yunxi with grievance. Helpless, ever since he and Long Fei Ye's duel, Han Yunxi had never asked about this matter again.
What scapegoat? Could it be that he would have to bear it for the rest of his life? Gu felt helpless.
Han Yunxi naturally wouldn't reveal Mute Granny's life or death to Lady Lianxin.
Her attitude was even more direct than Lady Lianxin's. "Back then, my mother asked you to help Han Congan obtain a director position. What benefits did she give you?"
Lady Lianxin's eyes flashed with wariness as she asked, "You … how much do you know?"
"What, are you trying to lie to me? I know quite a lot. If you want to lie … heh heh, take it easy. "
Actually, Han Yunxi knew that Lady Tianxin and Lady Lianxin were sisters. Lady Tianxin had asked Lady Lianxin to help Han Congan. She didn't know anything else. However, the dangerous threat on her face really intimidated Madam Lianxin.
Under Long Fei Ye's tutelage, Han Yunxi's negotiation skills had improved.
"I can tell you everything, and I can also tell you who your biological father is, as long as you can protect the Mu family." Madam Lianxin finally relented.
Although Han Yunxi already knew what was going on, she was still excited and even a little nervous when she heard the words "biological father."
However, she still steadied herself and cleverly asked, "Madam Lianxin, what do you mean by protecting the Mu family?"
Seeing that Han Yunxi was calm and composed, Madam Lianxin's eyes flashed with a complicated look. She knew that if she couldn't give Han Yunxi satisfactory conditions, this deal wouldn't be easy to discuss.
Of course, Madam Lianxin wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. She hesitated for a moment before probing, "Naturally, Mu Yingdong was absolved of all charges. The Mu Family is as before."
Han Yunxi laughed heartily. "Madam Lianxin, you're overestimating this princess consort's abilities! First of all, I don't have the final say in Medicine City. Even if I did, the evidence of Han Congan colluding with the Poison Sect is conclusive and obvious to all. How can I convince the public to pardon him? How am I supposed to explain this to your Medical City? "
"As long as you agree, this madam will naturally have a way to deal with Medical City." Madam Lianxin was very certain.
"It seems … Madam Lianxin is very popular in Medical City!" Han Yunxi smiled.
Madam Lianxin ignored her sarcasm and continued, "Han Yunxi, hasn't your Pill Fiend Pharmacy always wanted Mu Ling'er? How about this? We'll push the matter of the Poison Roundworm to the Xie Family. As for the agreement between Mu Yingdong and Jun Yi Xie, we'll also push it to the Xie Family. We'll say that the Xie Family and Jun Yi Xie colluded to set a trap for Mu Yingdong. Mu Yingdong was eager to protect his daughter and in a moment of greed … "
Before she could finish, Han Yunxi Coldly interrupted her, "Madam Lianxin, do you think the Wang Family and everyone in Medicine City are idiots?"
Madam Lianxin spoke matter-of-factly, "Han Yunxi, you're now the King Of Medicine's disciple. As long as you say the word, who wouldn't dare play dumb?"
"So you think I, Han Yunxi, am an idiot? You want to trade those lousy secrets of yours for Mu Yingdong's life? "Han Yunxi was very disdainful. In truth, she was very curious and wanted nothing more than for Madam Lianxin to spill all her secrets.
Madam Lianxin shook her head repeatedly, "Han Yunxi, no matter what, Mu Yingdong is still your uncle. You can't just stand by and watch him die!"
"That depends on how much Mu Yingdong is worth!" Han Yunxi sneered. Playing the family card with her was useless!
"You! You can't be so heartless! "Madam Lianxin angrily rebuked.
Han Yunxi laughed loudly, "Heartless? You clearly knew the truth. My mother had a difficult labor, so where were you? I suffered all kinds of hardships at the Han Estate, but where were you? When I went to the medical academy to ask about my mother, you denied knowing her? Now you want to acknowledge me as your relative? Isn't it too late?! "
"You misunderstood! Mu Yingdong had no idea that Madam Tianxin was Lianxin. That's why he's been imprisoning Mute Granny so he could lure your mother back! Didn't Mute Granny tell you? "Madam Lianxin tried to explain as well as probe.
Han Yunxi avoided the question and only gave a cold snort.
Madam Lianxin couldn't see through her thoughts, so she could only play the sentimental card. "When your mother was pregnant with you, she discovered that your father was having an affair with another woman. She chose to leave and changed her name to marry Han Congan in Tianning. From then on, Mu Yingdong lost track of your mother's whereabouts. For the sake of helping Han Congan, your mother sought me out of her own accord. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known any of this. "
As Madam Lianxin spoke, she pretended to sigh a few times. "Yunxi, I've been guarding this secret all these years. How could I not want to acknowledge you? But as soon as I did, your father would definitely come knocking on my door. Your mother chose to leave the Poison Sect and marry Han Congan just so you could leave the Poison Sect and live out your life in peace! "
Madam Lianxin was delighted to see Han Yunxi's serious expression. She continued to explain, "I didn't tell your uncle because I was afraid that he wouldn't tolerate you for the sake of the Mu Clan's reputation. Don't blame him, either. He's the head of the clan and his future prospects are more important than anything else. He had no choice but to imprison Mute Granny so he could lure your mother back! "
Madam Lianxin paused to wait for Han Yunxi's reaction, but Han Yunxi only looked at her with a taut face. She had no plans to speak.
Silence reigned in the room. Long Fei Ye was well aware of the truth. He didn't say a word as he waited for Madam Lianxin to reveal the identity of Han Yunxi's father. Gu, on the other hand, was the most confident and at ease as he played with his bony fingers. He'd long rejected all of this from his heart.
No matter who Han Yunxi's father was or whether Han Yunxi was a poisons woman, as long as he liked, Han Yunxi was just Han Yunxi.
The silent standoff wasn't just a contest of patience, but confidence as well. After explaining so much, Madam Lianxin had unknowingly lost the initiative. The longer the silence, the more uneasy she felt.
In the end, she couldn't help but speak up again. "Yunxi, if your mother was still alive, she wouldn't bear to see the Mu Clan fall like this. The Mu Clan has reached its current state because of the blood, sweat, and tears of generations!"
Han Yunxi sighed before she finally spoke. "If Madam Lianxin is only here to acknowledge relatives, then please go back."
These words shattered all of Madam Lianxin's patience. She finally lost her temper and said coldly, "Han Yunxi, I've said everything I need to say. What else do you want?"
"Which member of the Poison Sect is my father?" Han Yunxi Icily asked.
"I don't know! Even Mute Granny doesn't know about this. Do you think Mu Yingdong and I would know? "Madam Lianxin retorted.
Han Yunxi nodded. "I believe you. You can leave."
Madam Lianxin didn't know how to react. "You … what did you say?"
"You've spouted so much nonsense, but none of it was what I wanted to know. Rather than wasting your time here, why don't you go to the Wang Clan yourself and beg the Wang Clan Head? Perhaps you'll have a chance. "
Han Yunxi was simply toying with her. Madam Lianxin slapped the table and rose to leave. But Han Yunxi didn't stop her even when she was at the door.
Madam Lianxin was almost angered to death. Han Yunxi was so young, but why was she harder to deal with than those old fogeys from the medical academy?
In the end, she still turned around.
Han Yunxi's heart relaxed when she saw Madam Lianxin turn around. She knew that she'd won this negotiation.
"Han Yunxi, when your mother came to beg me for help back then, she gave me something. Perhaps that thing can tell you who your father is." Madam Lianxin finally revealed her greatest bargaining chip.
This was truly valuable information. Long Fei Ye and Gu both looked up. Han Yunxi was shocked and surprised.
Madam Lianxin hadn't planned on revealing this information because it was extremely valuable. She'd kept it hidden all this time, waiting for the day when she was too old and couldn't survive in the medical academy anymore. Then she'd take it out to curry favor with the academy head. Back then, it was because of that thing that she had helped Mu Xin and promised her to keep the secret.
But now that Han Yunxi had forced her to this point, she had no choice but to reveal it.
"What is it? Why don't you show it to me first?" Han Yunxi asked.
Madam Lianxin wasn't as friendly as before. Coldly, she said, "As long as Mu Yingdong returns to the Mu Estate, I'll bring it over myself."
"Do you think I'll believe you if I don't see it?" Han Yunxi asked.
Madam Lianxin looked meaningfully at Long Fei Ye, then smiled. "The one who obtains the Poison Sect's Perplexing Butterfly Illusion controls the world. Your Highness Duke of Qin should know this, right?"
Han Yunxi was shocked. Did this woman have the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion as well?
"You have the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?" Long Fei Ye remained calm.
"I don't." Madam Lianxin smiled. "But I have the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade. The one who obtains it can break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. Your Highness doesn't know this, right?"
Long Fei Ye was stunned. He only knew that the Beauty's Blood could break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, but he'd never heard of the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade. It looked like his mother hadn't been clear about the situation back then. No wonder they couldn't break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion even after they'd cultivated the Beauty's Blood.
"Madam Tianxin gave you the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade?" Gu finally spoke.
"That's right! It looks like Your Excellency Pill Fiend has heard of it before? "Madam Lianxin said.
"The Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade was extracted from the mouth of a Ten Thousand Year Ancient Corpse in the Valley of the Kings. It's the Poison Sect's most poisonous poison, but it's also its most precious treasure. This item is only passed down to the Poison Sect's sect head."
Gu smiled as he looked at Han Yunxi. "I wasn't wrong when I called you 'Poison lass' every day. Half of the Poison Sect's blood flows through your veins! Your father must be the Poison Sect's sect head! "
Gu didn't say anything else, but he added, "You really are a poison woman …"
Han Yunxi only felt that Gu's tone was a little strange, but she was too shocked by the truth to pay it much attention.
