462 Competing for the Medicinal Primer (2)
Yu Wan returned to Old Madam’s courtyard. Old Madam had fallen asleep leaning against the bedpost while guarding her grandson. Her thin old hand was holding Yan Jiuchao’s slender hand. One was old and the other was young. The scene was so heartwarming that no one could bear to disturb them.
Yu Wan thought that although Yan Jiuchao looked like an extremely bastard on the surface, his heart was purer than anyone else. He knew everything about who treated him well, and even those who treated him a little well. He wished he could repay them ten times or a hundred times more. This was because he had never been doted on by anyone. He always felt that it was normal for others to treat him badly.
Yu Wan thought of Shangguan Yan and Xiao Zhenting and also Uncle Wan.
Because of an insult to Shangguan Yan, he took Helian Qi’s life.!!
For many years, he had been lukewarm to Xiao Zhenting. Other than being unable to accept another man replacing his father, who could say that he was not protecting Xiao Zhenting in disguise? The Emperor was so afraid of him. If Yan Jiuchao was really intimate with him, how could he have a good life?
As for Uncle Wan, this person who had painstakingly raised Yan Jiuchao had violated his taboo regarding Su Mu. He would not use him anymore, but he did not abandon him. He sent him back to Yan City to retire.
He had his coldness and softness.
Yu Wan walked over and planned to carry the Old Madam back to the room, but the moment she touched her, she was woken up.
“My good grandson!” The Old Madam trembled and grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s hand tightly. Then, she opened her eyes and saw Yu Wan’s face. She heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s Ah Wan. You’re back. How is your visit to your uncle just now?”
Yu Wan said softly, “Pretty good, Grandma. You’re tired. I’ll help you back to your room to rest.”
The Old Madam reluctantly looked at Yan Jiuchao on the bed and dragged her clumsy body to tuck him in. “The weather has turned cold these two days. Be more vigilant at night. Don’t let him kick the blanket away.”
“I will, Grandma,” Yu Wan agreed.
The Old Madam handed her arm to Yu Wan, who helped her up. Yu Wan thought of something and took out the golden invitation. “I’ll return this to you.”
“Finished?” The old lady said.
“No.” She hasn’t used it yet.
The Old Madam said, “Then take it first. I’ll give you a new one when you’re done.”
Yu Wan didn’t know what to say. Although she called her Grandma affectionately, she was still a fake. It was fine if this old lady was domineering, but she treated them with all her heart. How could she use her money? Forget it, she would give the golden invitation to Helian Beiming later.
Yu Wan helped the Old Madam back to her room. The Old Madam was also tired and fell asleep against the pillow.
Before leaving, Old Madam’s personal maidservant stopped Yu Wan. She probably saw that Yu Wan and her husband were favored and wanted to win her over, so she specially flattered her. “…Old Madam hasn’t had such a good sleep in a long time. Ever since Young Master and Young Madam entered the manor, Old Madam has eaten a lot and is in good spirits…”
Blah, blah, blah.
These words were half true and half false. It was true that the Old Madam was happy, but it was a little exaggerated to say that she had been reborn. Yu Wan smiled and nodded, exchanged pleasantries with the maidservant, and returned to her room.
Yan Jiuchao was awake. He turned to look in the direction of the door, his eyes wide open. Yu Wan was shocked by his big resentful eyes. “Hubby?”
“You still know how to come back.” Yan Jiuchao snorted indifferently and retracted his gaze to lie flat.
How… did I provoke you? Yu Wan felt that something was wrong with her husband. She walked forward and sat down beside him. “What’s wrong? Is there something troubling you?”
Yan Jiuchao asked coldly, “Where did she touch you?”
Yu Wan was confused. Her?
This sour tone could not be because he was jealous of the Old Madam. She did not touch anyone else either. In a flash, Yu Wan thought of Dong Xian’er.
Could it be that this fellow minded Dong Xian’er? They were both women!
“Women can also be together,” Yan Jiuchao said coldly.
She had forgotten that he had grown up in the Prince Manor and the palace. He had probably heard of this kind of thing that ordinary people would not think of at all more than once, but how could she be with a strange woman? No matter how beautiful Dong Xian’er was, she was still inferior to her husband.
“My husband is the most beautiful. How can I like her?”
“Where did she touch you?”
“I’m not into that either!”
“The arm or face?”
“… Shoulders.”
Yu Wan quickly learned how terrifying it was for a man to be jealous. She had never known that a person could make him so domineering without being rough or domineering.
