461 Competing for the Medicinal Primer (1)


    The cooked duck flew away. Yu Wan left Dong Xian’er’s room. The Little Commandery Princess snorted smugly.


    Dong Xian’er said indifferently, “You go out too.”


    The Little Commandery Princess choked. Before she could react, Dong Xian’er threw her out. The door closed with a bang!


    “You… Hmph!” The Little Commandery Princess stomped her feet in anger, but she did not stay angry for long before she sessfully shifted her attention. She caught up to Yu Wan in a few steps and raised her eyebrows. “So you’re also here for the Red Lingzhi. Why? You spent so much effort to be Dong Xian’er’s guest, but in the end, it was all for nothing.”


    Yu Wan said indifferently, “You seem to have forgotten that the embroidered ballnded in my hand out of thin air. What effort did I put in? Putting in effort to reject you?”


    The Little Commandery Princess was speechless again. Others might not know, but she did. Her guards had fought tooth and nail for this embroidered ball, but in the end, they did not get anything and identally sent it to this woman. However, this woman was so infuriating!


    The Little Commandery Princess red at Yu Wan angrily. “Don’t be too arrogant! The Red Lingzhi will be mine sooner orter! Don’t even think about it!”


    Yu Wan did not even lift her eyelids. “Is that so? Then I’ll congratte you on obtaining the Red Lingzhi first.”


    She was even angrier! Why didn’t this person know how to argue? The Little Commandery Princess felt like every fist had hit cotton. She was about to anger herself to death!


    Yu Wan was happy when she saw that she was unhappy. She went downstairs without looking back.


    Jiang Hai and the others had long ended the battle and were waiting in the seats. Even without Dong Xian’er, there were still endless beauties in Paramount. An exciting song and dance was ying on the stage. Jiang Hai, Qing Yan, and Yue Gou watched intently, but Yan Jiuchao fell asleep on the table in boredom.


    Yu Wan: Her brat who only likes to suck cats and watch fights…


    Yu Wan picked Yan Jiuchao up.


    “Let me do it,” Jiang Hai said.


    “No, I’ll carry my husband myself.” With that, Yu Wan carried the sleeping Yan Jiuchao into the carriage under a group of dumbfounded gazes.


    Jiang Hai and the others also left Paramount.


    Yu Wan had always been puzzled about the little girl recognizing her as a woman. She knew that other than being not tall enough, there was nothing else about her that did not look like a man. Moreover, she was not too short at 1.7 meters. Could it be that that girl had a wall pration technique and saw her wrapped around her chest in the woodshed?


    “I keep feeling that something’s wrong.” Yu Wan was puzzled when she lifted the curtain and saw Helian Yu supporting his brother, who had fallen, out. Yu Wan’s eyes flickered and she alighted from the carriage.


    “Ouch!” In a dark alley, Helian Yu and Helian Cheng were unceremoniously thrown to the cold ground by Yue Gou and Qing Yan.


    “Who are you? How dare you touch us?” Helian Cheng was furious.


    Yu Wan walked out from behind the two of them and looked down at them. “So what if we did? What’s wrong with that?”


    The two of them looked at Yu Wan’s face and their bodies stiffened. They said in unison, “It’s you?”


    “It’s me,” Yu Wan said.


    The two brothers got up with fearful expressions and looked at her fiercely and fearfully.


    Helian Cheng had just been thrown by Yu Wan, but his legs and stomach were still trembling when he saw her. It was Helian Yu who said, “What do you want?”


    Yu Wan asked indifferently, “Have you told a third person about me?”


    Helian Yu’s eyes shed. “No.”


    Yue Gou raised his hand and punched!


    Helian Yu was so frightened that he hugged his head and squatted down. “I’ll say! I told the Little Commandery Princess!”


    “Second Brother!” Helian Cheng’s expression changed.


    Helian Yu also understood that he shouldn’t say it. If Uncle found out that they were visiting a brothel, he would definitely not let them off. On the other hand, visiting a brothel with the Little Commandery Princess in private was an additional crime. However, he was afraid. That fellow’s fist just now seemed to have killing intent. For a moment, he felt that his head was about to explode.


    He was right. Yue Gou had nned it.


    “Which Little Commandery Princess?” Yu Wan asked.


    “The… the Little Commandery Princess of the Queen Manor,” Helian Yu whispered.


    This time, it was Yu Wan’s turn to be surprised. The little girl she casually met in a brothel was actually her and Yan Jiuchao’s potential enemy. The Prince Consort might be Prince Yan, then this girl might be Yan Jiuchao’s illegitimate sister. Since ancient times, the legitimate children and the illegitimate children had never beenpatible. If she wasn’t a sworn enemy, what was she?


    Of course, if the Prince Consort was not Prince Yan, everything would be another matter. Wait, Prince Yan? Prince Consort? Since that girl was the daughter of the Prince Consort, wasn’t the man who sent her to the brothel just now the Prince Consort himself?


    “I’ll pick you up at nine at thetest.” The man’s words shed across her mind. Yu Wan’s eyes paused and she asked Qing Yan, “What time is it?”


    Qing Yan said, “It’s almost nine.”


    So it means that it was not nine yet… Yu Wan abandoned these two fellows and strode towards Paramount.


    “Hey! Ah Wan! Where are you going?” Qing Yan did not stop her.


    Yu Wan hoped that she could make it in time. She crossed the lobby, walked through the backyard, and pulled open the back door of the first floor. However, she was still toote. On the silent street, there was only a carriage that disappeared around the corner.


    It seemed that he had been waiting at the back door earlier on. The time limit he had given the Little Commandery Princess was nine o’clock. If she still did note out at nine o’clock, he would personally find her. However, she came out early, so they went home early.


    What a filial father… You were so good to a daughter he had adopted. Have you thought about Yan Jiuchao? He was half an orphan when he was eight years old. In order to wait for his father, he lived alone in Yan City for so many years, but you had a son and a daughter…


    Yu Wan’s heart ached for her husband. However, Yu Wan quickly told herself that everything was just their guess. There was no evidence that the Prince Consort was Prince Yan. Perhaps they had guessed wrongly.


    On the way back, Yu Wan hugged the sleeping Yan Jiuchao. He breathed in her scent and slept soundly.


    Yu Wan untied it…


    Yan Jiuchao suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw Yu Wan’s actions, he frowned. “Yu Ah Wan, what are you doing!”


    Yu Wan: “…Oh.”


    I’m sorry, I suddenly felt a little maternal.


    … .


    When they returned to the Helian Manor, Yan Jiuchao went to his room to rest. He fell asleep on the pillow. The Old Madam walked over with a smile and guarded her precious little grandson. Yu Wan took the dozen or so sticks of candied hawthorn she bought halfway and went to the courtyard next door to knock on Helian Beiming’s door.


    “Who?”


    “Uncle, it’s me.”


    “Squeak!” The little snow fox on Helian Beiming’sp began to wave its ws out.


    Helian Beiming pressed it down and said, “Come in.”


    Yu Wan pushed open the door and entered. She handed more than ten sticks of sparkling candied hawthorn to Helian Beiming. “Uncle, here.”


    “Squeak!” The little snow fox’s eyes widened!


    Helian Beiming did not let the little snow fox go this time. He said to Yu Wan, “Eat by yourselves.”


    The little snow fox instantly turned around and yed with its little tail, ignoring him. Helian Beiming poked it with his finger. The little snow fox shook off his fingers gloomily and moved forward.


    He poked again. The little snow fox moved again.


    In the end, it almost fell off his knee. Helian Beiming was finally sure that it was angry with him. He helplessly took a stick of candied hawthorn and handed it to the little snow fox. The little snow fox remained aloof and did not move.


    Good babies had dignity. It had to be handsome for more than three seconds!


    Three secondster, the little snow fox snatched the candied hawthorn and started chewing without care for its image!


    Helian Beiming looked at the dozen or so sticks of candied hawthorn on the te and said, “You’re unountably solicitous. You’re up to no good.”


    Yu Wan said, “Uncle, don’t make it sound so ugly…”


    Helian Beiming looked at her without blinking.


    The Divine General was indeed the Divine General. Even his gaze was lethal. Yu Wan disarmed and surrendered. “…We do have a request. We found the whereabouts of the Red Lingzhi, but the other party needs us to introduce her to a Great Gu Master. I want to ask if Uncle knows any Great Gu Masters?”


    “What does she need a Gu Master to do for her?” Helian Beiming asked.


    Yu Wan shook her head and said, “She didn’t say that. I think she must have something to ask of a Great Gu Master.”


    Helian Beiming said coldly, “Aren’t you afraid that she’s looking for a Great Gu Master to do something outrageous for her?”


    Yu Wan looked straight into his eyes. “My husband’s life is about to be lost. What do you think I’m afraid of, General? So what if I have tomit murder and arson and fall into hell? As long as I can save him, there’s nothing I don’t dare to do.”


    “You.” Helian Beiming looked at her deeply and lowered his head to stroke the little snow fox that was chewing on the candied hawthorn. On ount of the candied hawthorn, the little snow fox obediently let him stroke its fur. He said, “I will let the Great Gu Master see her, but he might not be able to agree if she makes ridiculous requests.”


    Yu Wan was delighted. “Uncle is willing to help us?”


    Helian Beiming said indifferently, “I’m not helping you. Instead of letting you search around by yourselves and causing some trouble, it’s better to have everything under my control.”


    Yu Wan smiled knowingly. “Thank you, Uncle!”


    … .


    Yu Wan left the courtyard with a smile. Helian Beiming called Yu Gang over. “Go and investigate what happened.”


    “Yes.” Yu Gang slipped away.


    After a while, he reported the matter of them patronizing Paramount to Helian Beiming. It was not difficult to find out about this. Firstly, they had their own spies. Secondly, Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao did not deliberately hide it from Helian Beiming.


    “Young Madam isn’t lying. She did go to beg for the Red Lingzhi. The two young masters of the West Manor also went. The Little Commandery Princess is also there. She is also going for the Red Lingzhi. The two of them even quarreled over a lingzhi and even agreed to a three-day agreement. Master, if we get involved in this, we’ll be going against the Little Commandery Princess.”


    Helian Beiming held his forehead helplessly. What trouble did he invite to the house?
