"Ah, what did you say? Mom went to a mental hospital, how is that possible?" Sasha asked incredulously.
Mother Lian finally came to her senses and said, "Young Madam, it was the Master who sent Madam to the mental hospital. I went to the sanatorium early this morning to bring some food and necessities for the Old Madam. I ran into the Master, and heard him tell the Old Madam himself."
Sasha also panicked, feeling that the situation was not good. She asked, "What exactly did Dad and Grandma say? Mom is perfectly fine, she's not crazy."
"I heard the Master say that Madam has had mental problems for a long time and has seen doctors, but she didn't want anyone to know, so the Master helped her keep it a secret. Recently, because of Young Master's affairs, she has had frequent episodes, and her condition has worsened, so she had to be sent for treatment." Mother Lian told her everything she had heard.
"He's talking nonsense!"
Seeing Sasha even more agitated than herself, Mother Lian couldn't help but stare at her.
Sasha immediately calmed down and changed her tone, saying, "What I mean is, Dad's words are unsubstantiated. Mom was always very normal at home, there was nothing abnormal about her."
"Yes, Madam has always stayed at home and I haven't seen her go to any doctor," Mother Lian said in disbelief. "But the Master also showed the Old Madam the medical certificates. The Old Madam was a bit surprised at first, but then she believed it and told the Master to get Madam proper treatment."
Sasha was stunned. She had no mood to take the children out to play anymore. She felt that Xie Zhendong was finding an excuse to divorce Feng Rou and marry that woman.
Good heavens, if that woman gained official status, what would she and her child be in the Xie family? She would have to call a woman of similar age to her "Mom."
She had calculated everything, but she never expected Xie Zhendong to be so ruthless towards Feng Rou. She thought that no matter how much Feng Rou caused trouble, she wouldn't be able to shake her status as Xie Zhendong's wife.
But she never expected a man's heart to change more decisively, or rather, more coldly and ruthlessly, than a woman's.
Mother Lian shook her head and said, "It seems this household is about to change again..."
"Mother Lian, do you know which mental hospital Mom is in?" Sasha called out to Mother Lian and asked again.
Mother Lian thought for a moment and said, "The Master seemed to say it was called, called Qing Shan Mental Hospital."
"Okay, I know," Sasha reminded Mother Lian, "Don't tell Dad that I know about this. I just want to visit Mom. She's always been very good to me."
"Don't worry, I've been a servant in the Xie family for a lifetime. I know what to say and what not to say. I'll keep many things to myself." Mother Lian sighed and walked into the Xie residence.
Sasha handed the child over to the nanny and returned to her room to search for the mental hospital online.
It was located near the suburbs and was known for treating extremely severe mental patients. It also had several authoritative experts in mental health who were nationally renowned.
She had to find a way to get Feng Rou out, otherwise, that woman named Zhan would become the mistress of the Xie family, and she and her child would be marginalized.
With Feng Rou around, she still had a shield. Her and her child's status in the Xie family could be stabilized.
No, this was unbearable. She had to notify the Feng family immediately and have Feng Rou's family prove that she was not crazy.
...
On Saturday, as scheduled, An Jing brought Xiaoxiao to the paternity testing center.
Alva was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Xiaoxiao, he felt an indescribable sense of closeness, further confirming his belief that she was his biological daughter.
Xiaoxiao, however, felt scared and unfamiliar with him, hiding behind An Jing and only daring to peek at him stealthily.
Before leaving, An Jing had already explained the paternity test to Xiaoxiao, telling her not to be afraid and that no matter the result, it would be her decision who she wanted to be raised by.
Alva desperately wanted to say something to Xiaoxiao, or hug her, but Xiaoxiao kept avoiding him during the test.
He thought this was their first formal meeting, and it was understandable that she didn't want to get close to him. As long as they had more opportunities to meet like this, this innate blood relationship would bring them closer.
The paternity test simply involved drawing a tube of blood from each of them, and then waiting at home for the test results.
As they walked out of the testing center and were about to drive away, Alva called out to An Jing. He took out a pile of toys and little girls' clothes from his car and handed them to him, saying, "Whether Xiaoxiao is my biological daughter or not, she is truly a beautiful and cute girl. These are for her as a meeting gift."
As An Jing was about to refuse, Alva took out a delicate doll and handed it to Xiaoxiao, saying, "Do you like this doll? It's for you, specially customized for you."
Xiaoxiao had never seen such a beautiful and exquisite doll. She liked it in her heart, but because she wasn't familiar with him, she didn't accept it. Staying close to An Jing, she said softly, "I don't want it. Mommy and Daddy said not to accept things from strangers."
Alva couldn't help himself and reached out to pat her head, saying, "I'm not a stranger. The blood drawn from our bodies just now will merge together." With that, he forcefully placed the doll in her hands.
Then he quickly turned and drove away.
Xiaoxiao looked at his retreating back, holding the doll tightly in her arms.
This person had the same hair and eye color as her, and spoke to her so gently. She couldn't help but develop a good impression of him.
However, when she was kidnapped before, the blonde woman also resembled her in appearance, but she was a bad person and was not good to her at all.
Therefore, she had a sense of caution towards people who looked like her and was unwilling to easily accept their kindness.
"Daddy, can I keep this doll?" Xiaoxiao looked up at An Jing and asked.
An Jing put the pile of things Alva had given into the trunk and asked her back, "Do you like this doll?"
Xiaoxiao honestly replied, "Yes, I like it. It's so beautiful."
"Then keep it. He means no harm to you."
"Okay." Xiaoxiao's face broke into a smile, and she looked at the exquisite doll in her hand again.
Seeing how much she liked this gift, An Jing felt a pang of loneliness in his heart. It seemed that the bond of blood relationship was unstoppable. Perhaps it was best to let Xiaoxiao return to her biological father's side.

Sasha found the current head of the Feng family, one of Feng Rou's elder brothers, and told him about Feng Rou being confined in the mental hospital.
Upon hearing the whole story, Feng Rou's elder brother trembled with anger and cursed, "Xie Zhendong can actually do such a shameless thing! I must confront him and demand justice. Does he think our Feng family has no one?"
Seeing Feng Yan about to leave his office to find Xie Zhendong, Sasha quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle, please calm down. It's best not to alert Xie Zhendong. Let's first find a way to rescue Mom from the hospital. It won't be too late to reason with him after Mom is out."
