Chapter 466: Blood Test for Kinship
Xiahou Feng’s body stiffened, his mouth agape in shock. His gaze fell upon Ye Jiamei’s face, filled with disbelief.
No, this wasn’t his sister.
His sister had already passed away—how could she possibly appear here?
But if she wasn’t his sister, why was there another person in this world who looked exactly the same?!
Even after nearly twenty years, those facial features, those eyes, that voice…
How could there be two people in this world who were so alike?!
Seeing Xiahou Feng’s loss of composure, Yu Haojie’s heart skipped a beat.
Father and daughter exchanged a silent glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Meanwhile, Ye Jiamei, the person at the center of this moment, was completely unaware. Her mind was in chaos, as if fragments of memories from the original host were flashing through her brain—yet she couldn’t grasp the key details!
“Prince Zhan Nan, please take a seat over here.”
“No, wait! May I ask, madam, what is your full name?!”
Even though Xiahou Feng couldn’t believe his own judgment, he had to ask and confirm.
Ye Jiamei was pulled back to reality by their conversation, and the memory fragments in her mind vanished.
“To be honest, madam, you look incredibly similar to my late sister. When I first saw the young lady of your household, I was already taken aback. But seeing you in person—I thought I was looking at my sister.”
“A birthmark?!”
“My name is Ye Jiamei, but I have indeed forgotten some things from the past. Prince Zhan Nan, did your sister have any distinguishing features, such as a birthmark?”
Hearing this, Xiahou Feng’s eyes lit up with excitement. He stared at Ye Jiamei’s face, not wanting to miss the slightest change in her expression!
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Jiamei heard his words, her gaze shifted instantly. She immediately opened her right hand and placed it on the table.
As she sat down, Xiahou Feng stepped forward to the eight-immortals table and sat down unceremoniously, but his eyes never left Ye Jiamei’s face.
Only now did she realize how intensely Xiahou Feng was staring at her, his shocked expression completely unrestrained, as if he had no intention of averting his gaze.
Although she asked the question, she already had a strong feeling that some things were undeniably true, especially after those fleeting memory fragments.
“I remember now. My sister had a red birthmark in the center of her palm, and also—also a black one on her wrist!”
All she needed was a blood sample from Xiahou Feng to compare with her own DNA. But DNA tests took time, and she was eager to find the simplest way to prove it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiamei could no longer remain calm.
She glanced blankly at Yu Haojie, then at Yu Luo.
“What do you mean?”
In truth, it was very simple to determine whether she and Xiahou Feng were truly siblings.
At that moment, she noticed that the father and daughter had somewhat subtle expressions, as if they knew something, while she remained completely clueless.
Xiahou Feng was first overjoyed but then furrowed his brows in deep thought.
Sure enough, in her pale palm, just below the ring finger, there was a bright red birthmark.
“Mother, it’s nothing. Let’s sit down first.”
Seeing his pregnant mother, Yu Luo quickly helped her to a seat.
Ye Jiamei was unsettled, while Xiahou Feng had already jumped up from his chair in excitement, ready to rush toward her!
Seeing Xiahou Feng lose control, Yu Haojie immediately stood up and positioned himself beside Ye Jiamei.
“Prince Zhan Nan, please calm down. My wife is currently pregnant and cannot endure such excitement.”
Hearing this, Ye Jiamei smiled slightly, while Xiahou Feng finally shifted his gaze from her face to her belly.
Ye Jiamei slowly stood up, slightly lifting her wide sleeves to reveal a section of her fair wrist.
On her wrist, a black birthmark was prominently visible!
“As expected, Prince Zhan Nan was right. But I’m a rational person—I want to be absolutely sure. Would you be willing to let me take a bit of your blood for testing?”
After the initial shock, Ye Jiamei regained her composure.
Although the man before her was likely her brother, it was the original host’s brother, not necessarily hers.
After the initial astonishment, she forced herself to calm down—she didn’t want everyone to celebrate too soon, only to be disappointed later.
“Yes, I also believe a blood test is the most reliable method. Prince Zhan Nan, would you be willing?”
Yu Haojie quickly echoed her sentiment.
How could Xiahou Feng, eager to confirm their kinship, possibly refuse?
Seeing the two birthmarks on Ye Jiamei, he was already convinced that she was his sister. But in order to ensure that she believed it too, he immediately bent down, pulled a dagger from his short boot, and prepared to draw blood on the spot!
Seeing the dagger, Yu Haojie reacted quickly, stopping him.
“Wait!”
Xiahou Feng looked at Yu Haojie in confusion.
“Lord Yu, do not stop me. I am willing to give my blood.”
“No, you misunderstand. If you draw blood this way, I won’t be able to verify it properly. Please wait a moment—I’ll be right back.”
Moments later, Ye Jiamei returned to the hall carrying her medical kit. When she pulled out a syringe, Xiahou Feng was even more bewildered.
“This…?”
“I’ll collect your blood using this. It won’t hurt much, just bear with it.”
Ye Jiamei personally performed the procedure. Very soon, Xiahou Feng’s blood was drawn. She then rolled up her own sleeve and took a sample from herself as well before sealing them in her medical kit.
Throughout the process, the father and daughter remained calm, while Xiahou Feng was completely at a loss.
“Don’t worry. Let’s have lunch first. The results will be ready in the afternoon.”
To ease Xiahou Feng’s anxiety, Yu Haojie invited him to eat.
But at this moment, even with a table full of rare and exquisite dishes, Xiahou Feng had no appetite.
Seeing this, Yu Luo immediately brought over a bottle of liquor.
“Prince Zhan Nan has traveled a long way. Naturally, we must serve him fine wine.”
As he spoke, Yu Luo poured a glass for Xiahou Feng and Yu Haojie.
Xiahou Feng, still reluctant to take his eyes off Ye Jiamei, glanced at the crystal-clear liquor in the delicate glass. He frowned slightly.
“This…? How can liquor be so clear? And this glass—it’s incredibly transparent!”
“This is called a liuli cup. This type of liquor likely doesn’t exist yet in the Eastern Seal Kingdom. In this harsh winter land, this drink not only warms the body but also has an exceptionally rich fragrance. Prince Zhan Nan, let’s have a toast.”
Hearing Yu Haojie’s words, Xiahou Feng, still dazed, lifted his glass to his lips.
Before anyone could react, he tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp!
