Extra: Dad’s Troubles (Part 7)
Chaos! Utter chaos! The entire Zhao Family hall was in disarray.
Ye Dianhui, with a turn of events, was overjoyed and immediately took Zhao Muyue's hand.
He firmly believed his father's words; as Earthlings, they knew the taboo of close-relative marriage, so if Ye Bufan said Zhao Muyue was not Chu Lingxi's biological child, then she wasn't.
Situ Dianmo was also like this, happy for her son in her heart.
At this moment, the core members of the Zhao Family were in a mess. Chu Lingxi looked at the Young man in shock, then at Ye Bufan, "Senior Brother Ye, what exactly is going on?"
Zhao Yuan, beside her, was even more so. Now that his Granddaughter had suddenly become his Grandson, it was an extremely significant change for the Zhao Family.
"Lord Sacred Ancestor, what exactly is going on? Please enlighten us."
"I only know that this Young man is a direct descendant of your Zhao Family and is Junior Sister Chu Lingxi's biological child. As for the specifics, I don't know; you'll have to ask her."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Kaijiang's wife, Zhang Xiuxiu.
Now, his Divine Sense was extremely powerful, capable of easily covering the entire Tianwu State, so he effortlessly found Chu Lingxi's Bloodline Qi and remotely grabbed the Young man.
At the same time, he had taken in the reactions of all the Zhao Family members when he previously spoke of the child-swapping.
Everyone else was shocked, but only Zhang Xiuxiu, besides being shocked, also had an unusual fear in her eyes—that was the instinctive reaction of a guilty thief being discovered.
Zhao Kaijiang also hadn't expected it to be related to his wife. He was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Speak quickly, what exactly did you do?!"
"I… I don't know…"
Zhang Xiuxiu's expression was flustered, but she wanted to deny everything. Just then, a glint flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes, and he directly used the Soul Capture Technique.
"I arranged for someone to swap the child…"
Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes were blank as she began to recount.
It turned out that the Zhao Family had an ancestral Family rule: to ensure the Family's prosperity, only those who bore a son were qualified to become the Family's heir.
Zhao Kaijiang, as the eldest son, married first, and Zhang Xiuxiu subsequently bore three children, but all were daughters, not a single son.
She was an extremely ambitious woman, determined to have her husband inherit the Family business and become the Family Head's heir.
But at this time, Zhao Tuotu's wife, Chu Lingxi, was six months pregnant and about to give birth. Her heart was extremely panicked, fearing that the position of Family Head would fall to the second son.
So, she meticulously plotted, bribed the midwife, and swapped the child born to a farming Family in the suburbs with the one here.
In other words, this Young man was Chu Lingxi's biological son, a boy, while Zhao Muyue was the daughter born to that farming Family.
The farming couple were just ordinary people; they were knocked out by the experts she sent, and then their memories were erased, leaving them completely unaware.
And on the Zhao Family's side, as the main matriarch, everyone trusted her unconditionally and never expected such a thing to happen.
Twenty-odd years passed peacefully, but unexpectedly, Ye Bufan suddenly arrived today and immediately saw the Bloodline Legacy among them.
"You scoundrel, what a mess you've made!"
Zhao Kaijiang was furious, slapping her hard. Ye Bufan also withdrew the Soul Capture Technique, and Zhang Xiuxiu instantly regained her senses, begging repeatedly, "Husband, I was wrong, but I was also doing it for this Family at the time, so you could become the Family Head's heir…"
"Get out!"
Zhao Kaijiang kicked her to the ground, and she knelt before Zhao Yuan with a thud, "Please punish me, Father!"
At this moment, Zhao Yuan's heart was in turmoil. Things had become too complicated. It concerned the Legacy of the Family heir and brought immense shock to the Zhao Family.
Now, how to deal with Zhao Kaijiang was also a dilemma. It was a de facto situation that this eldest son was the Family heir.
But all of this was obtained by Zhang Xiuxiu through despicable means. Normally, if Chu Lingxi had given birth to this son, the second son should have inherited the Family Head position. How should they decide now?
Seeing his father's difficulty, Zhao Tuotu stepped forward and said, "Father, since Eldest Brother has already inherited the position of Family Head, and now he also has a son, there's no need to make any changes because of past events."
He was overjoyed at having found his lost son and wasn't particularly interested in the position of Family Head.
Zhang Xiuxiu also quickly said, "Yes, Father, I was wrong back then. If you must blame someone, blame me alone; it has nothing to do with my husband."
"Alright then."
Zhao Yuan was also helpless, sighing. Just as he was about to make a decision, Ye Bufan interrupted, "Family Head Zhao, I want to ask, which one is your Grandson?"
As soon as he spoke, a hint of panic flashed in Zhang Xiuxiu's heart again, and her gaze towards Ye Bufan was full of pleading.
Zhao Yuan, however, didn't notice this. He beckoned a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Young man over, "Lord Sacred Ancestor, this is Zhao Muchen, the third generation of my Zhao Family.
Grandson, quickly greet Lord Sacred Ancestor."
The Young man was about to bow in salute when Ye Bufan stopped him with an outstretched hand.
He sighed, "Originally, I didn't want to meddle in such matters, but your Zhao Family has also helped me raise my daughter-in-law for over twenty years, so consider it a favor returned."
Zhao Yuan and his two sons were all surprised, "Please enlighten us, Lord Sacred Ancestor."
Ye Bufan said, "This child was indeed born to Zhang Xiuxiu, but he is not of your Zhao Family Bloodline."
"This…"
These few words were spoken very calmly, but the Zhao Family members were struck as if by lightning.
The name Medical Immortal resounded throughout the entire Kunlun Continent, a legendary existence in the hearts of countless people.
Moreover, Ye Bufan had just demonstrated his miraculous abilities, and no one had any doubts about his words.
But this raised a big problem. The child was born to Zhang Xiuxiu but had nothing to do with Zhao Kaijiang. What did this mean?
This was no longer just a Family scandal; it also involved the future of the Zhao Family Head.
It's no exaggeration to say that if not for Ye Bufan's appearance, thousands of years later, the Zhao Family's foundation would have fallen into the hands of others, completely unrelated to the Zhao Family Bloodline.
"Bastard, why would you do this? Why would you ruin me! Why would you ruin my son!"
With her dirty secret exposed, Zhang Xiuxiu lunged at Ye Bufan like a madwoman, clawing and baring her teeth.
But just as she moved, her head flew high, blood splattering, and her Primordial Spirit was instantly obliterated by a single strike.
The one who struck was none other than the Zhao Family Head, Zhao Yuan.
If Zhang Xiuxiu's previous actions could still be forgiven, this current matter was absolutely intolerable. If a bastard inherited the Zhao Family's foundation, how could Zhao Yuan face his ancestors after death?
Zhao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned to kill Zhao Muchen, but Ye Bufan stopped him.
"The child is innocent. Just expel him from the Zhao Family; there's no need to create too much killing Qi."
"Yes, Lord Sacred Ancestor!"
Although Zhao Yuan was unwilling, he dared not disobey Ye Bufan's command. He had Zhao Muchen expelled from the Zhao Family, then led all the Zhao Family members to kowtow and thank him.
It must be said that Ye Bufan's appearance greatly helped their Zhao Family, recovering their lost flesh and blood and preserving the pure Bloodline Legacy.
"Alright, you handle these matters yourselves."
Ye Bufan's main purpose for coming this time was to resolve his daughter-in-law's situation. Since all the troubles were gone, he took Zhao Muyue back to Earth with him.
Showing this Granddaughter-in-law to his mother would mean his mission was completely accomplished.
As for the Zhao Family's affairs, he would let them handle it; it had nothing to do with him.
