Pei Wendong forced himself to remain calm, yet his mind kept circling back to one thought. He wasn't a bastard! Not a despicable bastard! He was born to his father and mother! But his mother's attitude made him extremely doubtful, doubting his mother and doubting himself.
He too wanted a blood test to determine kinship; he needed to confirm he was his father's son! So he took the initiative to demand, "Let's have the blood test!"
Pei Zongli wouldn't agree, he was too afraid.
But the outside gossip had already pushed through the family door, even the landlord came over, expressing sympathy while probing for gossip, suggesting they go through with the blood test, "That way people outside won't have anything else to say about you!"
"Those rumors are clearly spread by someone intent on destroying our reputation, trying to drive us to our deaths! Why should we have to prove anything to them with a blood test!?" Qian Wanxiu firmly disagreed.
