But then again, that little stupid fox was quite funny. He did not know which master of the manor raised this stupid fox, but no matter who it was, his grand general had taken a fancy to it and it would belong to him from now on.

The attendant picked up the little stupid fox that was seeing stars from the collision and flicked its stomach with a smile. “Serve the Grand General well and I guarantee you a good life!”

The little snow fox was taken away, and the general also asked the attendant to push him to the bath.

Yu Wan took the opportunity to slip out of the courtyard. The grand general liked quiet. There were no guards patrolling this area. Yu Wan easily arrived under a courtyard wall. She moved a stone and climbed up the wall. Suddenly, a figure grabbed her soft waist and brought her to the other side of the wall.

Yu Wan took out the silver needle from her sleeve.

“Madam, it’s me!” Jiang Hai said in time.

Yu Wan’s expression relaxed and she retracted the silver needle.

Jiang Hai raised his stiff and hot arms and cupped his hands in salute. “I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Madam.”

Yu Wan paused for a moment before realizing that he was referring to carrying her to the ground. Yu Wan waved her hand. “Don’t worry about these small matters. The important matter is more important. Where’s Yan Jiuchao?”

Jiang Hai replied, “Qing Yan and Yue Gou sent the Princely Heir back to the inn.”

Jiang Hai had only met the two of them after leaving the City Lord Manor. Fortunately, he had met them. Otherwise, the two of them would have gone to the dungeon. The escape of the prisoners had already caused alarm in the cell. If the two of them really went, they would undoubtedly be walking into a trap.

Yu Wan nodded and said, “It’s good that he’s fine. Let’s go back to the inn.”

Jiang Hai led the way. The two of them returned to the inn.

Yan Jiuchao woke up halfway. Old Cui had given him medicine. The medicine had the effect of calming one’s mind and helping one sleep, but he kept his eyes open. He only closed his eyes to sleep when Yu Wan entered the room.

“Is he alright?” Yu Wan asked softly.

Old Cui snorted. “He won’t die! Where did you go just now? Why are they all back?” His tone was not good, but he was really concerned about Yu Wan. Yu Wan told him about her accidentally entering the general’s courtyard.

Qing Yan thought of the conversation he had heard on the street and said to the old man, “Grandma, do you think that general is Helian Beiming?”

“Helian Beiming?” Yu Wan was stunned. She had heard Yan Jiuchao mention this name before. He was Helian Qi’s cousin, the number one Divine General of Nanzhao. Was it actually him? So his aura was so powerful?

Yu Wan pondered and said, “That’s not right. Since he’s a Divine General, why is he in a wheelchair? I don’t think he sprained his ankle.”

The old man said, “Back then, he cultivated improperly and all the meridians in his body were damaged. His martial arts were crippled, but he could still walk. However, when he walked, it was like ten thousand needles piercing his heart.”

“I see.” Yu Wan could not help but sigh. “In that case, Grandma is sure that the great general is Helian Beiming?”

The old man nodded. “It should be him.”

Yu Wan heaved a long sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I escaped quickly.” Helian Qi’s death was definitely related to the Young Master Manor. If she fell into Helian Beiming’s hands, the outcome could be imagined.

“I believe you have guessed the cause of Helian Qi’s death. The Young Master Manor and the Helian family are enemies. Now that the Helian family has come to the West City, I’m afraidâ€¦”

Qing Yan said, “Princely Heir Consort, don’t worry. I heard on the street that Helian Beiming is here to pick up his nephew. He’ll leave soon. As long as we don’t let the officials discover us, we won’t alarm him.”

“To pick up his nephew? No, wasn’t he here to pay respects?”

“Huh?” Qing Yan frowned in confusion. “He’s from the Imperial Capital. Why would he come to the West City to pay respects to someone?”

“There is indeed such a person,” the old man suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

The old man said slowly, “Helian Beiming once had a biological brother. He fell off the cliff not long after he was born. Not even his corpse was left. The accident seems to have happened in the West City.”

“When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?” Qing Yan asked.

The old man said, “It happened more than thirty years ago. You weren’t born yet. When you were born and understood, no one mentioned that matter anymore.”

Yu Wan pondered for a moment and said, “But I think he seems to be a little secretive. He doesn’t want anyone to discover him.”

This had to be said about the customs of Nanzhao. Those who died unreasonably in Nanzhao could not be buried in glory, not even a stone tablet was erected. Those who died unreasonably were to be buried wherever they died, and they could not pay their respects. Otherwise, they would be contaminated by his resentment and bring bad luck home.
