Chapter 438: Doting on Her Grandson (1)


    Helian Beiming had heard of Fragrance of Hundred Miles. It was a strange poison from the Western Regions and was named because the smell of the poison resembled the fragrance of flowers.


    Helian Beiming did not ask how Yan Jiuchao was poisoned. This had nothing to do with him. Even if Old Madam temporarily acknowledged Yan Jiuchao, he could not really treat him as his nephew. “As far as I know, this poison is unsolvable. Half of the four types of medicinal primer that it needs can’t be found.”


    Yu Wan said seriously, “Even if I can’t find it, I have to. In short, I have to treat my husband’s poison.”


    The little girl was young, but she exuded a domineering aura. If she entered Nanzhao just because of this, there was nothing that he could not take in.


    But—


    Helian Beiming thought of something and his eyes darkened. “The Prince Yan Manor… the Prince Yan Manor rted to Xiao Zhenting?”


    Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat. What shoulde still came. They could not hide the fact that they had killed Helian Qi.


    Helian Qi’s death could be hidden from the world, but not from Helian Beiming. When the group returned to the country with the coffin, they had already given out the biggest suspect, Yan Jiuchao. Helian Qi deserved to die, but he was an important minister of Nanzhao. If he were to die, he would die in the hands of the Emperor of Nanzhao.


    Yu Wan said solemnly, “Grand General, I admit that Helian Qi’s death is rted to the Prince Yan Manor, but as his cousin, it’s impossible for you to not know what kind of person Helian Qi is. I don’t know how much you know about the incident. But you must have heard about how he used the armor to humiliate Grand Marshal Xiao. Then did you hear about how he almost tainted my friend? Did you hear about how he kept saying that he wanted to have Mrs. Xiao for an entire night? The hatred of humiliating his mother is irreconcble. Not to mention that we only killed him, even if we grind his bones and scatter his ashes, it would be a bargain for him! If you want to punish us for this, then I have nothing to say!”


    Helian Beiming had no children. Helian Qi was the next head of the Helian family, but he was killed by Yan Jiuchao just like that. It was impossible for Helian Beiming not to be angry at all. He had brought the enemy of the Helian family into the manor and even sent him to his mother’s side.


    If he had known earlier, he would have asked about their identities earlier instead of waiting to confirm that they could survive.


    “My good grandson, this is for you!” In the courtyard, the Old Madam peeled a fresh orange and handed it to Yan Jiuchao.


    However, if he had asked earlier, there would probably be no such “good grandson”. Helian Beiming muttered, “My mother has never been as happy as she is today.”


    Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao, who had exploded from Old Madam’s teasing, and smiled knowingly. “That’s right. Old Madam really dotes on Yan Jiuchao.”


    “He’s not Yan Jiuchao,” Helian Beiming said.


    “Huh?” Yu Wan looked at him in confusion.


    Helian Beiming enunciated each word clearly. “From today onwards, he’s no longer the Princely Heir of Yan City, and you’re not the Princely Heir Consort. You’re from Qinghe Town. Your name is Yan Wan, and his name is Jiang Chao. Now… he’s Helian Chao.”


    He had even fabricated their identities. It seemed like he did not n to hand them over. Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but be puzzled. “Doesn’t anyone suspect that Yan Jiuchao is fake? I mean, your brother is already buried. How could he have a son?”


    Helian Beiming looked at the olddy in the courtyard who wasughing so hard that her eyes could not be seen and said, “Only my father and I know that I personally buried my younger brother. In order not to expose myself in front of my mother, we also announced to the public that there’s no corpse left. Some people think that my younger brother is dead, but there are also people who believe that my younger brother has only gone missing. In addition, I’ve pretended to bring many people back to acknowledge my family all these years, so your appearance is not unexpected.”


    In that case, Yu Wan was relieved. With the identity of the Helian family as a cover, no one would suspect that they were here to look for the medicinal primer.


    Of course, the goal of this trip was not only the medicinal primer, but also to investigate the truth about the Prince Consort of Nanzhao.


    The news of the Old Madam finding her grandson spread throughout the manor that night. The official saying was this—Back then, Second Master had fallen off a cliff and was picked up by a passing hunter. The child was seriously injured, and the hunter sent the child to the medical center. Coincidentally, he met a kind-hearted couple. The couple did not have children, so they paid to treat Second Master and adopted him.


    The couple was from Qinghe Town. The Second Master had grown up in Qinghe Town. More than twenty years ago, he married and gave birth to a son called Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao was the only son of the Second Master. In a few years, the Second Master and his wife passed away because of illness.
