It’s a way of saying people from a certain background or family will always revert to that in the end – for e.g. if a person whose parents are both in prison becomes a social worker, people won’t trust them because “blood will tell”, or another e.g. a person of the aristocracy marries a poor commoner and says they will always be happy, but people say they won’t because “blood will tell”. It’s a bit like racism, really.
