The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Chapter 439 - Doting on Her Grandson (2)

Chapter 439: Doting on Her Grandson (2)

If Helian Beiming hadn’t accidentally met the hunter from back then when he went to West City this time and heard him talk about the past of picking up a child in the valley, Helian Beiming would have missed his little nephew.

Why did they fabricate that the Second Master and his wife had already pa.s.sed away? It was because it was already difficult to find a fake grandson. Where could they find a fake Second Master? If they made a fool of themselves and the Old Madam saw through the fake Second Master, even Yan Jiuchao, they would have wasted all their efforts.

The Helian Manor was divided into the East Manor and the West Manor. The East Manor was occupied by the Eldest Old Master. The Eldest Old Master had already pa.s.sed away, so only the Old Madam and Helian Beiming were living there. The West Manor was occupied by the Second Old Master. The two elders were biological brothers. Although they had built their own manors after they got married, they were close to each other. Strictly speaking, they were still one family.

Helian Qi was from the West Manor.

The group was arranged to be in Xixia Garden, which was closest to the Old Madam. This courtyard was originally built for Second Master. After so many years, its owner had finally arrived, even if it was fake.

The Old Madam could not bear to part with Yan Jiuchao and insisted on keeping him by her side. Thus, Yan Jiuchao’s luggage was moved to the Old Madam’s courtyard. As his personal doctor, Old Cui also moved over.

Yu Wan stayed in Xixia Garden. Xixia Garden was theirs, so it was convenient to do things. “Zi Su, Fu Ling, go outside and guard.”

“Yes.”

One of the maidservants stood at the door of the room, and the other stood in the courtyard, vigilant of the surroundings.

Yu Wan talked about serious matters with Jiang Hai and Ah Wei’s family. One was about the medicinal primer, and the other was about how to better avoid Helian Qi’s family. “…Such a big thing has happened in the East Manor, so the people from the West Manor will definitely come to ask for information. Yan Jiuchao and I have both appeared at Prince Cheng’s banquet. I don’t know if Helian Qi’s subordinates will recognize us.”

Qing Yan said, “There’s no need to worry about that. I asked around just now. Helian Qi died in the Great Zhou, and all his subordinates were implicated. Some died, and some were exiled. No one is left in the Capital.”

Yu Wan nodded. “That’s good. There’s another thing. I heard that… Helian Beiming doesn’t have any children. The Helian family’s business was originally supposed to be handed over to the second branch to inherit. Although Helian Qi is dead, he still has a son. Wouldn’t we become a target for the second branch if we appeared out of nowhere?”

“Helian Beiming originally had a son,” the old man suddenly said.

“Huh?” Everyone’s gaze landed on his face.

He said calmly, “It’s just that he was expelled from the family because he committed a crime. Mrs. Helian couldn’t take the blow and became a nun in a fit of anger. That’s why Helian Beiming became a loner.”

Yu Wan was enlightened. “So there’s such an inside story…”

Perhaps it was because of her father and Xiao Zhenting, but Yu Wan always took care of the men on the battlefield. When she thought about how the man who had been in the military for half his life finally ended up with crippled legs, lost all his martial arts, and became a loner, she could not help but feel sad for him. His wife and children were all there, but they were not.

“Then Grandma, do you know what crime Young Master Helian was expelled from the family for? Old Madam dotes on her grandson so much. Will she allow her grandson to suffer like this?” Yu Wan asked.

The old man said, “It’s said that Old Madam ordered him to be chased out.”

Everyone was speechless.

With the old madam’s personality, they really could not see that she would do such a heartless thing to her grandson. Could it be that she was crazy? However, her craziness was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When she recovered, she could bring her grandson back.

The old man said, “There are many rumors in the outside world about what he did. Some say that he offended Old Madam, while others say that he was naughty and caused someone to die. No matter what, this is not something we should worry about. The right to decide who the heir of the Helian family is is up to the Helian family themselves. Our goal is the medicinal primer. When the medicinal primer is in our hands, we’ll leave Nanzhao.”

Leaving Nanzhao…

It was easy to say. Could the Old Madam bear to part with Yan Jiuchao?

It seemed too early to worry about this because no one could say if Old Madam Yan had a relapse and recognized Yan Jiuchao as her biological grandson. Perhaps one day, when she woke up, she would sweep them all out.

Therefore, Grandma was right. They had to find the medicinal primer as soon as possible.

On this end, Yu Wan, Jiang Hai, and Qing Yan went to the Juxian Restaurant that Grandma had mentioned to investigate the whereabouts of the medicinal primer. On the other side, the West Manor also received news that a group of people had come to acknowledge their relatives.

In the reception pavilion of the West Manor, the Second Old Master, who was still energetic even though he was old, sat at the head of the table. Beside him was Helian Qi’s wife, Madam Li, and a few stewards of the West Manor.

“Dad.” Madam Li frowned and said, “Big Brother brought back another person to the East Manor. This time, it’s not a son, but a grandson! He even let Old Madam acknowledge him! Do you think that person is real, or did Old Madam fall ill again?”

“What are you trying to say?” The Second Old Master asked in a deep voice.

Madam Li curled her lips and said, “The East Manor has already acknowledged a grandson before my husband’s corpse turns cold. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Isn’t it obvious?”

“What’s obvious?”

The Second Old Master was warning her not to spout nonsense, but Madam Li did not hear the warning. She thought that her father-in-law was really asking her and said what she was thinking. “They don’t want us to inherit the family business!”

“Shut up!” Second Old Master shouted at Madam Li.

Madam Li was Helian Qi’s first wife. She was beautiful and came from a good background. Unfortunately, she was brainless. Otherwise, she would have been able to keep an eye on her husband and not let Helian Qi cause many ridiculous debts outside.

The Second Old Master knew everything about Helian Qi’s sudden death in the Great Zhou. He had more or less guessed who killed him, but he could not avenge his son openly because his son’s death was not unjust.

As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous wife. In the Second Old Master’s opinion, it was precisely because his son did not have a steady and proper first wife like the daughter-in-law of the East Manor that he became more and more unrestrained after marriage. All of this was Madam Li’s fault.
