Chapter 472 - 472 Super Drama Queen
472 Super Drama Queen
It was the Queen Manor again!
Did they have a grudge against the Queen Manor in their previous lives? In this life, they had clashed time and time again. Before the matter of the Prince Consort was revealed, they had already formed a grudge with the Little Commandery Princess and the Gu Master of the Queen Manor. From the looks of it, they would soon have a grudge with the Queen herself.
No, they had long formed a grudge with her. The little Gu that the Queen had been thinking about was in her hands. Yu Wan covered her chest. Well, she couldn’t return it to her. There was no reason, but she just didn’t want to return it.
They went down the mountain.!!
When they were halfway up the mountain, a maidservant of Dong Xian’er rushed over and whispered a few words into Dong Xian’er’s ear. Dong Xian’er pursed her lips and said unwillingly, “Got it. Go and reply that I’ll be there in two hours.”
“Yes.” The maidservant rode away.
Yu Wan did not mean to eavesdrop, but her hearing was too good, so she could only pretend not to hear anything.
Dong Xian’er walked over gently and tugged at Yu Wan’s sleeve coquettishly. “I’m leaving.”
Yu Wan nodded. “Take care.”
Dong Xian’er threw away Yu Wan’s sleeve and stomped her feet. “You blockhead!”
Yu Wan: What did I do again, why am I a blockhead?
Dong Xian’er got into the carriage angrily. She had already entered the carriage when she suddenly jumped down and stuffed a handkerchief into Yu Wan’s arms. Under Yu Wan’s confused gaze, she got into the carriage.
Sigh, woman, your name is Dramatic.
If not for the incident at the Biluo Villa, Yu Wan would have thought that this courtesan had fallen in love with her for the first time. She only had more secrets than them. Would she easily like a fake man like her?
“Ah Wan,” Yue Gou suddenly said.
Yue Gou did not say much and was extremely silent most of the time. He would answer whatever Yu Wan asked. If Yu Wan did not say anything, he could close his mouth like a clam. Therefore, Yu Wan immediately attracted his attention. “What’s wrong?”
“Look.” Yue Gou waved his finger.
Yu Wan looked over and saw an elegant and luxurious carriage parked under a mountain opposite. It was also because the two of them had good eyesight that they could see it so easily. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to tell whose carriage it was.
“Our manor?” Yu Wan touched her chin strangely. “Who came out? My uncle or Yan Jiuchao?”
Yue Gou said, “From the West Manor. I’ve seen that coachman before.”
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows. “Why did they appear nearby? Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed? Let’s go and take a look.”
The two of them went to another mountain foot. The coachman leaned against the carriage door and dozed off. Yue Gou lifted it to take a look, but the carriage was empty.
Yu Wan looked around and gestured to Yue Gou. There was actually a nunnery hall halfway up the mountain. The nunnery hall looked tattered and the door was cold and cheerless. It did not look like it was visited by visitors.
Could it be that the people from the West Manor went there? That was strange, wasn’t it? Instead of going to the Gu King Temple, which was filled with incense, they went to an almost abandoned nunnery. What was the West Manor up to now?
Yu Wan said to Yue Gou, “I’ll go take a look. Wait for me here and watch the carriage. Don’t let anyone take it away.”
Their carriage was parked at the foot of the Gu King Temple. Yue Gou could naturally observe it with his eyesight, and this place was only a few dozen steps away from the nunnery. If Yu Wan really encountered danger, Yue Gou would be in time to help her.
Yue Gou nodded in agreement. Yu Wan went to the nunnery. The door was actually locked from the inside. Yu Wan became even more puzzled. This place is deserted. If the people from the West Manor really went up the mountain, the only place they could go was this nunnery. So mysterious. It must be something bad!
Yu Wan used a towering tree to climb up the wall. She placed her legs on the branch and leaned her upper body on the wall. She saw the courtyard of the nunnery clearly. It was even more simple than her courtyard in Lotus Flower Village. Other than a water vat and a clothesline, there was nothing else.
“Where are they?” Yu Wan muttered.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from the room. “I really feel sorry for you. If you didn’t make a mistake back then, why would you be expelled from the house and suffer in such a place?”
It was Madam Li! Who was she talking to? Someone who had been expelled from his family… The nunnery…
Yu Wan’s expression froze. Could it be the eldest madam, Madam Tan, who had cheated on Helian Beiming?
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Is Sister-in-law unhappy that I’m an eyesore and came to visit you?” Hearing Madam Li call her that, it was obvious that it was Madam Tan.
Yu Wan craned her neck, wanting to see what Madam Tan looked like. However, the room was too deep, and she could only see a shadow projected on the ground. That shadow was very thin. From this, it could be seen that Madam Tan was as thin.
Madam Tan did not answer Madam Li.
Madam Li gradually became a little angry. At the beginning, she said things like ‘I came to visit you, but you ignored me’. Later on, it became that ‘you had long been expelled from the family. Who do you think you are to dare to look down on me?’
Yu Wan could feel it. Madam Li was furious and specially came to vent her anger on Madam Tan.
This was too much. Not to mention that Madam Tan was no longer a member of the Helian family, so what if she was? The person she had let down was Helian Beiming, not the West Manor and Madam Li. Madam Li had clearly been angered at home and did not finish venting her anger on the maidservant, but she did not dare to vent her anger on her son. That was why she found her sister-in-law, who had once suppressed her.
It was said that those who are not family would not enter the same house. No wonder Helian Qi was her husband. These two people were simply compatible.
However, Madam Tan’s forbearance had exceeded Yu Wan’s imagination. Madam Li had scolded her many times, but Madam Tan did not respond at all. It was not like she did not dare to reply, but like she disdained it.
“…Sister-in-law, I really feel sorry for you. Back then, you were married to Big Brother. You were at home helping your husband, teaching your children, and serving your in-laws. Even if you didn’t make any contributions, you still worked hard. However, Old Madam chased you and your son away without a word. She’s not giving you a way out. I don’t know where this country boy came from, but he claimed to be Second Brother’s flesh and blood. I think he’s a liar at all, but Old Madam doted on him. Young Master has been calling Old Madam ‘Grandmother’ for so many years. Even if he’s a dog, she should have developed feelings for him. Why is Old Madam so heartless? I think she’s not only heartless, but also muddle-headed. She doesn’t dote on the grandson she raised, but she dotes on a liar from outside!”
This Madam Li’s mouth was too vicious. She was sowing discord with Madam Tan. Yu Wan’s eyes turned cold. Madam Li had come out without warning. Yu Wan suddenly retracted her body, but her feet slipped and she fell from the wall and branches.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she was supported by a strong arm. Then, she turned around and fluttered, subconsciously hugging the arm. After Yu Wan stabilized herself, she realized that the other party was a monk in green wearing a bamboo hat. She hurriedly retracted her hand. “Thank you, Master.”
With that, she suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked up at the other party. Wasn’t this the monk she had seen twice in West City? He lived next door to her when she was in the inn, and he was in the same cell as her when she was in jail. She didn’t expect to meet him here.
“Ma…” Yu Wan was about to speak when the green-clothed monk bowed with one hand and bade farewell. Yu Wan did not even see his appearance clearly, but she was sure that she was not mistaken. Did he not recognize her? Or did he not want to know her?
Yu Wan shook her head and did not force him. She did not delay for long and hurriedly went to find fault with Madam Li. She rushed to the carriage before Madam Li and took out her dagger to tamper with the wheels.
In the afternoon, Yu Wan walked into Old Madam’s courtyard. Immediately after, Old Madam’s trusted maidservant reported in shock, “Aiya, Old Madam, something happened. Second Madam’s carriage broke down halfway. The wheels rolled out and the entire carriage overturned!”
“Then how is she?” Yu Wan asked with concern.
The maidservant said, “Second Madam’s waist was sprained! She’s already so old, but she still sprained her waist. The doctor said that she can forget about getting out of bed for three to five months!”
Yu Wan took a sip of tea without batting an eyelid. Who asked you to cause trouble, go on, continue causing trouble. Old Madam went to visit Madam Li. Old Madam knew that Madam Li did not like her good grandson, so she did not bring the two of them along.
Yu Wan took the opportunity to go to Yan Jiuchao’s room. Qing Yan and Jiang Hai were also there. They did not ask anything. She was just Madam Li. What did her life and death have to do with them?
Yu Wan told them about her encounter with Dong Xian’er on the way and the news of the snow toad and Gu Elder from her. “…It seems that the Queen Manor also has designs on the snow toad. There are only two ways now. One is to hand over Nanzhao’s holy artifact and let the Queen dispel her thoughts about the snow toad. The other is… to not hand over the holy artifact and forcefully snatch the snow toad. Do you think…”
Everyone said in unison, “The second!!!”
Yu Wan : “…”
Are you really not bandits?
