    Actually, how could she know if her father was the second son of the Helian family who had fallen off the cliff without a corpse? However, at this critical juncture, he had to be. Otherwise, they would all be hopeless.


    The attendant walked up to Yu Wan with the torch and looked at her under the bright light.


    Yu Wan was wearing Zi Su’s skirt with white pink clothes. She had a double-colored belt and was tied into an unmarried woman’s hairstyle. She had a palm-sized face, fair skin, and thick eyebrows that exuded a heroic spirit. However, she was not ostentatious. Her almond-shaped eyes were watery, and her lips were red and her teeth were white. She had a veryfortable appearance.


    No one would think that the owner of such a face would be an empty talker. However, what she said just now was too ridiculous.


    “Say that again.” The attendant felt that he had most likely heard wrongly, or this little girl had gone crazy.


    Yu Wan said without changing her expression, “May I ask if the general’s brother was born in early spring thirty-five years ago? Did something happen to him when he fell off the cliff at the age of three or four?”


    The attendant looked at Yu Wan and then at the old man beside her. No one had mentioned the Second Master for many years. The younger generation did not know much about this information, but the old man had more or less heard the bad news back then.


    The attendant said, “So what if something like this had happened? This isn’t a secret. Do you have to ask me? Or do you think you know a lot?”


    Yu Wan said seriously, “Of course this isn’t a secret, but I heard that after the Grand General’s brother fell off the cliff, there was no corpse. The Helian family is certain that he had no chance of survival after falling from such a height. And because of the ident, his corpse might had long been eaten by the ferocious beasts, but is there a possibility that he didn’t die at all? Instead, he was saved by someone passing by?”


    “Ridiculous!” The attendant scoffed in disdain.


    “Is it ridiculous?” Yu Wan’s expression was so calm that it was as if this was the truth. She looked in the direction of the carriage. “Does the General think so too? I traveled thousands of miles to Nanzhao to find my family. I don’t even have a travel pass. How many times have I been in life and death situations? But if the General refuses to acknowledge me, then I’ll pretend that I’ve never been here.”


    These words were spoken with tears in her eyes. Even though the attendant was certain that she was lying, he could not help but be secretly stunned.


    The atmosphere was a little strange. Before the general could say anything, the guards did not move. However, Gu Master Yu could not hold it in anymore. He and this little girl had alreadypletely fallen out. If she was really the Grand General’s niece, wouldn’t he have kicked an iron te? She couldn’t be! She’s definitely not!


    The Gu Master said righteously, “Grand General! Don’t listen to her nonsense! She rushed over from West City. At that time, you were in West City. If it’s really as she said, and she’s here to acknowledge you, why didn’t she acknowledge you in West City?”


    Yu Wan narrowed her eyes. This Gu Master looked stupid, but he was actually smart at the critical moment. That’s right. Everyone knew that Helian Beiming had entered West City and she happened to be there during that period of time. It was really far-fetched to say that she had not heard this news.


    But—


    Yu Wan’s lips curled up imperceptibly as she said aggrievedly, “It’s not that I don’t want to look. I was arrested and thrown into jail. Those people don’t believe anything I say. They only think I’m spouting nonsense.”


    She had indeed entered the dungeon. They could find out if they sent someone to investigate. As for what she had said, there was only one prison guard at that time. They could have a debate and see who could spout better nonsense.


    The curtain was lifted by a slender hand. The Gu Master did not dare to look at the general’s face and hurriedly lowered his head. Yu Wan looked at the other party without dodging and met his scrutinizing gaze. It was a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. Yu Wan looked fearlessly and did not retreat.


    “You said that your father was my younger brother who fell off the cliff. How did you guess that?” Helian Beiming asked.


    That’s right, how did she guess this? He was carried away at such a young age, and no one mentioned his identity. Just based on the date of the incident, she guessed that he was from the Helian Manor of Nanzhao? However, since he could ask this, did it mean that he also suspected that his brother was not dead?


    This was much easier.


    Nanny Wan had been in the Young Master Manor for so long. Not only had she taught her the rules, but she had also taught her how to be thick-skinned.


    Yu Wan sighed and said, “To be honest, the entire vige knows that my father was picked up from the streets. However, no one has the intention of looking for his family. Our ce is in chaos. Many children starved to death and their parents died. Of course, there are also people who couldn’t be raised and were abandoned by their parents. There are many people like my father who were lucky enough to survive and were adopted by kind people. It was not until spring this year that an old man found our ce. He thought that my father was his missing son for many years. We were also looking forward to it, but in the end, he was wrong. He said that as long as he was alive, he would continue to search for another day. He’s already old and doesn’t know how many days he has left. I look at his hunched back and feel very sad.


    “I began to think that my father might not be a child who was abandoned. He might also be one of those unfortunates, being separated from his family. His old parents might also be bitterly looking for him. As for guessing that it was the Helian family, it was because General Wei Yuan had once been to the Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”


    “You’re from the Great Zhou?” The attendant was stunned.


    “That’s right.” Yu Wan nodded. “I’m from the Great Zhou. Something happened to General Wei Yuan in the Great Zhou, and his family background spread like wildfire. That’s why I found out that you had a younger brother who fell off a cliff not long after he was born. From the looks of it, it coincided with the month my father was picked up. So I had a bold guess. Could it be… my father is your family?”
