526 The Truth Is Revealed (1)
Madam Jiang said it as if it was true. The sacrificial soldier who was called out even suspected that he had really kidnapped her.
The sacrificial soldier scratched his head and thought hard.
The Second Old Master was furious. What are you thinking?!
Madam Jiang insisted that the Second Old Master’s sacrificial soldier had kidnapped her. On the other hand, Madam Li and her sons, Yan Jiuchao, and Yu Wan had also received news from the West Manor.
“Did my mother really recognize the assassin?” Yu Wan asked.
Zi Su nodded. “I heard from the servants of the West Manor, right now, the West Manor is in an uproar!”
Yu Wan touched her chin. “Since my mother has recognized the culprit, we can’t continue to watch from the sidelines. We have to go to the West Manor to seek an explanation. Let’s go!”
Yu Wan pulled her husband’s wrist and smugly went to the West Manor.
Madam Li and her sons arrived at the Second Old Master’s courtyard before them. Just as Yu Wan crossed the courtyard door, she heard Madam Li’s hysterical voice. “You can eat whatever you want! You can’t say whatever you want! What are your intentions for slandering your own second uncle like this?”
Yu Wan’s eardrums went numb from this sound and she shook her head.
Yan Jiuchao, on the other hand, had a calm expression. The two of them walked into the room. Not only were the Second Old Master and Madam Li present, but the three brothers of the West Manor were also present. She had met Helian Yu and Helian Cheng a few times. But she only met Helian Feng briefly and could not be considered familiar.
Yu Wan suddenly remembered that her husband did not seem to be present when Helian Feng went to the East Manor. She gestured to Yan Jiuchao with her eyes and said, “That young man in stone-blue brocade clothes is the second master’s eldest grandson, Helian Feng.”
Helian Feng’s appearance took after Helian Qi, but it also combined with Madam Li’s beauty and he looked much more handsome than Helian Qi.
When Yan Jiuchao heard Yu Wan’s words, he glanced at Helian Feng.
Coincidentally, the moment the two of them entered the room, Helian Feng was also looking over. Caught off guard, he met Yan Jiuchao’s gaze. It was an indifferent and empty gaze, as if ifYu Wan had not introduced him, this person would not even want to look at him.
This realization made Helian Feng feel an inexplicable strangeness in his heart.
He was the eldest grandson of the West Manor, he had even become the eldest grandson of the entire Divine General Manor after Helian Sheng was expelled from the family. Helian Feng was very outstanding in terms of his talent in learning the art of war. He had always received the envy and admiration of everyone, but this was the first time he was ignored so coldly.
However, Helian Feng was not in the mood to care about this now. Madam Li had caused a ruckus in the room.
Madam Li said indignantly, “Say something! Don’t be a mute! Do you really think I don’t understand what you’re up to? Isn’t it because you can’t stand seeing the West Manor return to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors that you’re obstructing?”
“It’s not like that,” Helian Beiming said.
However, before he could finish speaking, Madam Li interrupted him coldly. “What do you mean by that? Aren’t we usually fine? Aren’t they dead? One moment, a grandson appears, and the next, a son appears? Listen to what you said before! Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law passed away from illness in Qinghe Town, leaving behind an only child. In the end, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law came back to life! Then you said that they lied about passing away because they were avoiding debts! Who are you trying to lie to!”
Helian Beiming was resentful. Back then, he did not expect his brother to still be alive.
If Madam Li only stopped here, she would have the upper hand. However, she did not stop her. “There’s also the assassination of the Old Master! His accident happened in your East Manor. Now that I think about it, I think this is not simple either! Perhaps you have made up your mind to frame the Old Master from the beginning!”
Yu Wan walked over indifferently. “Aunt, you’re wronging us. Why don’t you let the old man tell you himself why he was assassinated? I’m afraid he’s too ashamed to say it.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Madam Li shouted.
Yu Wan did not let her anger force her to panic. She only said unhurriedly, “Aunt, do you know who sent the assassin who assassinated my uncle? It was Second Old Master. He disguised Helian Sheng’s handwriting and tricked my uncle out of the manor. Then, he got the assassin to pretend to be Helian Sheng and stabbed my uncle when he was not paying attention. If my uncle wasn’t that lucky, I’m afraid he would have gone to the Netherworld to see the Helian family’s ancestors.”
“You… don’t go overboard!” Madam Li refused to believe it. “There has to be a limit to slandering people!”
Helian Beiming was even more surprised than Madam Li.
