The carriage drove into the Helian Manor.

The few of them had something on their minds, so they didn’t have the time to admire the scenery in the Capital, nor did they carefully savor the grass and trees of the Helian family.

Helian Beiming went to report to the Old Madam first. The group sat in the slow carriage with solemn expressions. The more they saw how powerful Helian Beiming was, the more they dispelled the thought of escaping. Their only way out now was to let the Old Madam of the Helian family acknowledge Yu Wan.

It would be fine if Yu Wan was really the other party’s biological granddaughter, but Yu Wan was fake. Everyone could not help but start to worry.

Jiang Hai let out a long sigh. “If there’s really no other way, I’ll stall them later. Qing Yan, Yue Gou, you guys bring Young Master, Madam, and Grandma away.”

Old Cui: What about me?!

Yue Gou, who was usually silent, said, “I’m strong. It’s more appropriate for me to stall them. You guys leave.”

Qing Yan glanced at the two of them. “We can’t escape when we’re outside. Now that we’ve entered the Helian Manor, are you still dreaming of escaping?”

Everyone was silent.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m very popular with the elders. As long as Old Madam likes me, she might acknowledge me.”

This was the truth. Putting aside the elders of the Yu family, which one of the aunties and uncles in the village did not care about Yu Wan? They would say that this girl had grown up and was sensible. She could work without putting on airs, do business, and be a doctor. She was good-hearted and beautiful. There was no girl in the surrounding villages who was more outstanding than her.

If the villagers liked Yu Wan because they were honest to begin with, then Shangguan Yan and Eldest Mrs. Xiao, this pair of sworn enemies, also liked Yu Wan. It was enough to show Yu Wan’s personal charm.

This girl was right. Perhaps Old Madam would like her and acknowledge her as her granddaughter?

The Old Madam did not know that Helian Beiming had gone to pay his respects to his brother. She only thought that he had gone to visit his nephew like in previous years. The Old Madam sat in her room in boredom and did not eat or drink. This was a sign of her illness acting up again.

The Old Madam’s illness was unpredictable. Sometimes, she was listless and could not eat or sleep well. Sometimes, she was crazy and spouted nonsense. Sometimes, she sat in a daze, as if her soul had been sucked out.
