<h4>Chapter 436: Recognition (4)</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>Henyee Trantions <strong> Editor: </strong>Henyee Trantions</h4>


    The carriage drove into the Helian Manor.


    The few of them had something on their minds, so they didn’t have the time to admire the scenery in the Capital, nor did they carefully savor the grass and trees of the Helian family.


    Helian Beiming went to report to the Old Madam first. The group sat in the slow carriage with solemn expressions. The more they saw how powerful Helian Beiming was, the more they dispelled the thought of escaping. Their only way out now was to let the Old Madam of the Helian family acknowledge Yu Wan.


    It would be fine if Yu Wan was really the other party’s biological granddaughter, but Yu Wan was fake. Everyone could not help but start to worry.


    Jiang Hai let out a long sigh. “If there’s really no other way, I’ll stall themter. Qing Yan, Yue Gou, you guys bring Young Master, Madam, and Grandma away.”


    Old Cui: What about me?!


    Yue Gou, who was usually silent, said, “I’m strong. It’s more appropriate for me to stall them. You guys leave.”


    Qing Yan nced at the two of them. “We can’t escape when we’re outside. Now that we’ve entered the Helian Manor, are you still dreaming of escaping?”


    Everyone was silent.


    Yu Wan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m very popr with the elders. As long as Old Madam likes me, she might acknowledge me.”


    This was the truth. Putting aside the elders of the Yu family, which one of the aunties and uncles in the vige did not care about Yu Wan? They would say that this girl had grown up and was sensible. She could work without putting on airs, do business, and be a doctor. She was good-hearted and beautiful. There was no girl in the surrounding viges who was more outstanding than her.


    If the vigers liked Yu Wan because they were honest to begin with, then Shangguan Yan and Eldest Mrs. Xiao, this pair of sworn enemies, also liked Yu Wan. It was enough to show Yu Wan’s personal charm.


    This girl was right. Perhaps Old Madam would like her and acknowledge her as her granddaughter?


    The Old Madam did not know that Helian Beiming had gone to pay his respects to his brother. She only thought that he had gone to visit his nephew like in previous years. The Old Madam sat in her room in boredom and did not eat or drink. This was a sign of her illness acting up again.


    The Old Madam’s illness was unpredictable. Sometimes, she was listless and could not eat or sleep well. Sometimes, she was crazy and spouted nonsense. Sometimes, she sat in a daze, as if her soul had been sucked out.


    The servant reported that Helian Beiming had arrived, but the Old Madam did not say anything. Helian Beiming told the Old Madam about his “brother” before the Old Madam finally reacted. However, it was only for a moment before she looked out the window in a daze.


    Helian Beiming understood that it was because he had had many “younger brothers” who hade to visit all these years. The Old Madam no longer believed that he could find his real “younger brother”.


    “Mother, go take a look,” Helian Beiming said softly. “If she’s not my brother’s family, I’ll chase her away.”


    The Old Madam pursed her lips and went to the reception pavilion with Helian Beiming.


    Yu Wan and the others were also brought in by Yu Gang.


    This was Yu Wan’s first time seeing the legendary Old Mrs. Helian. The other party was wearing a in lotus-colored brown dress, a sauce-colored beizi, white hair tied into a single bun, two jade hairpins, and a pearl headband that was the same color as the beizi. Her facial expression does not look good, and she looked haggard, but she had the demeanor of a noble.


    The Old Madam was supported by a beautiful maidservant and walked in casually. Yu Wan knew that the time to decide her fate had arrived. Whether she lived or died depended on whether she could muddle through.


    Actually, Helian Beiming had given her a token to prove her identity. It was the swaddling that had wrapped around his brother back then. However, it was said that he had given this token to every “younger brother” who came to “recognize” their family, but Old Madam did not recognize any of them.


    Therefore, even Helian Beiming did not understand how the Old Madam was so sure that those people were fake.


    “Maybe blood is thicker than water.” These were Helian Beiming’s words.


    If that was really the case, Yu Wan’s chances of winning were not high, but she had no choice but to shoot. Yu Wan took a deep breath and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief that had long been dipped in chili. Her eyes were red as she said to the Old Madam, “Grandmother—”


    The olddy was so frightened by this sudden voice that her body trembled. Then, the olddy turned around in a daze.


    Seeing the other party look at her, Yu Wan cried even harder. Her clumsy acting skills could not evenpare to half of Madam Jiang’s. The old man, Qing Yan, and the others turned their faces away. They could not stand it anymore.


    Unexpectedly, the Old Madam shook off the maidservant’s hand and walked over in a daze.
