469 Shocking Secret (2)


    Yu Wan said, “It’s fine. That Yu guy has been settled.”


    Qing Yan pondered for a moment and went to deal with Yu’s corpse before driving Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao back to the Helian Manor.


    The day of danger finally passed. Yu Wan sessfully obtained the Red Lingzhi. The first thing she did when she returned to the manor was to find Old Cui and ask him to verify the authenticity of the Red Lingzhi.


    Old Cui put down the half-eaten radish and grabbed the red lingzhi to study it for a long time.


    Yu Wan’s heart was in turmoil. “Don’t tell me it’s fake!”


    Old Cui frowned and muttered, “There’s really a second Red Lingzhi in the world…”


    Yu Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously. “What do you mean? Do you know where the Red Lingzhi is?”


    “Ahem!” Old Cui wished he could tear his mouth apart. Why couldn’t he control his words at the critical moment? He said, “Prince Jing once had a Red Lingzhi.”


    She had not thought of that person for a long time. When she heard this name, Yu Wan was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that he was referring to Yan Huaijing. She instantly felt better. With Yan Huaijing’s feelings for her, she might as well go to Dong Xian’er’s hands to pull the chestnuts out of the fire.


    “Alright, I’ll keep the things. Lingzhi has spirituality. Don’t touch it if you have nothing to do,” Old Cui said. He found a box made of white jade, spread red silk, and carefully ced the Lingzhi inside.


    Old Cui thought of something and said, “Also, Helian Beiming has helped a lot this time. You have to thank him well.”


    Yu Wan nodded. Without Old Cui’s reminder, she would also thank Helian Beiming. After all, if he hadn’t found Senior Yue, it would have been difficult for them to obtain the Red Lingzhi. But how could she thank him?


    Yu Wan touched her chin. “By the way, Old Cui, your medical skills are so brilliant. Can you treat my uncle’s leg?”


    “Hasn’t your uncle’s leg recovered…” Old Cui was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the uncle this girl was talking about was not that uncle. He red at her. “You call him that smoothly! He’s not sick, but injured. His meridians are broken. He can’t be treated like before.”


    In the dead of the night, Helian Beiming sat quietly in the study alone. Beside him were a few new memorials submitted by his subordinates. However, his gaze did notnd on the memorials. A painting was spread out in front of him. In the portrait was a young man in green who was 50 to 60% simr to him.


    His fingertips caressed the young man’s face, and his eyes becameplicated.


    “Uncle!” Yu Wan’s voice came from outside the door.


    Helian Beiming put away the painting and inserted it into the basket at the side. He said indifferently, “Come in.”


    Yu Wan walked in with a tray. “I guessed that Uncle wasn’t resting. I went to the kitchen to make a few side dishes for Uncle’s supper.”


    “Aren’t you going to rest?” Helian Beiming asked indifferently.


    “I’m happy. I can’t sleep.” Yu Wan smiled.


    “It’s just a Red Lingzhi,” Helian Beiming said indifferently.


    Yu Wan said, “But it’s also very difficult to obtain. Uncle, you don’t know who we met today. That Little Commandery Princess…” At this point, Yu Wan paused and nced at him. “Did I not mention to Uncle that the Little Commandery Princess of the Queen Manor wants to snatch the Lingzhi from us?”


    Helian Beiming gave her a look that said, “What? Do you think you hid it well?”


    Alright. Yu Wan cleared her throat. She had been so busy recently that her brain was not enough. They were in the Helian Manor, so how could their whereabouts be hidden from Helian Beiming? He probably knew who they had provoked before he invited Senior Yue, but even so, this man still took action. At this point, Yu Wan was even more grateful to Helian Beiming.


    Yu Wan said proudly, “That Great Gu Master from the Queen Manor is very powerful. Coincidentally, he was Senior Yue’s junior brother and gave him face.”


    How could there be a coincidence in the world? However, Helian Beiming had long guessed who it was and knew the rtionship between the two Gu Masters, so he invited him out of the mountain. As for Senior Yue, he was indeed kept in the dark.


    However, Helian Beiming did not say this.


    Yu Wan ced the tray on the table. “This is a chestnut cake with rose brine. This is crab roe crisp. This is almond barley porridge. I used honey to substitute sugar. You’ll still be able to sleep after eating it.”


    This was still the experience of making food for Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao really liked her cooking. As long as she made something, he would eat it all. However, sometimes, if the sugar was too high, it would make it difficult for him to sleep. If he didn’t sleep, she couldn’t sleep either. That little ancestor had a thousand ways to make her crazy.


    “Also, if you don’t like sweet food, there’s this.” Yu Wan took out a meat bun that was bigger than her face as if she was performing a magic trick.


    Helian Beiming had never seen such a mighty and domineering big bun. He felt his eyelids twitch.


    Yu Wan smiled. “Then… Uncle, take your time eating. I’ll go back to the courtyard first.”


    Old Madam, Yan Jiuchao, and Zi Su yed the leaf card. They were missing one more yer!


    Yu Wan slipped away!


    Helian Beiming looked at the snacks in front of him. Once upon a time, when he was reading at night, there would always be people sending food to his room. However, ever since he sent his wife away, no one dared to barge into his study openly.


    Other than the terrifying big bun, the other dishes were quite exquisite. There was golden crispy skin, red rose juice, and beautiful sweet cakes… Just looking at them made one eat heartily.


    Helian Beiming suddenly felt better.


    “Squeak!” The little snow fox on hisp woke up. The little snow fox smelled a familiar fragrance. With a tuft of hair on its head, it jumped onto the table and snatched the meat bun into its arms. The little snow fox hugged the big meat bun and rolled around the table with a satisfied expression.


    Helian Beiming’s mood improved. That child knew how to repay kindness and even made snacks to show respect to him.


    Helian Beiming picked up a chestnut cake dipped in rose brine and happily fed it. In the next second, the paralyzed general jumped up!


    Damn it! Why did it taste so bad! What happened to repaying kindness? This was repaying kindness with ingratitude!!!
