517 Inside Story Back Then

On the way here, Helian Beiming had already roughly explained the family relationship of the Helian family to Yu Shaoqing. Old Master Bull Egg had already passed away, and the Second Old Master of the West Manor was Bull Egg’s younger brother. However, although they were brothers, their personalities were very different. Bull Egg was enthusiastic and bold, and he was calm and unrestrained. The Second Old Master was slightly cautious and depressed. However, in Helian Beiming’s impression, this second uncle did not smile at others, but he treated Bull Egg and Old Madam with great respect and especially doted on him.

The Second Old Master had a son, Helian Qi.

Helian Qi married Madam Li and had three sons with her. They were Helian Feng, Helian Yu, and Helian Cheng. Helian Feng was the same age as “Helian Chao” and was almost twenty years old. Helian Yu and Helian Cheng were two to three years younger.

“Helian Qi? Which Helian Qi?” When Yu Shaoqing was in the Great Zhou, he did not pay much attention to the envoys from Nanzhao. However, on the way here, he inadvertently heard some news. He knew that Nanzhao had once sent a few envoys to celebrate Prince Cheng and the princess of Xiongnu’s wedding. Among them, there was someone called Helian Qi. It was said that he had died in the Great Zhou and asked someone to help him return to the country.

Helian Beiming said in a complicated manner, “It’s… the envoy from Nanzhao who passed away a few months ago, Helian Qi.”

“How did he die?” Yu Shaoqing asked.

“…Chao’er killed him.” Worried that Yu Shaoqing would blame Yan Jiuchao, Helian Beiming added, “But it’s not Chao’er’s fault. He brought it upon himself.”

Yu Shaoqing never suspected that his stinky son-in-law would kill the innocent. He said, “He’s not human. How good can his father be!”

Helian Beiming, who was caught off guard: “…”

“Let’s go in,” Helian Beiming said.

Yu Shaoqing entered the room. The room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance. Almost subconsciously, Yu Shaoqing frowned. He did not like this place, or perhaps he did not like the people who lived here.

Yu Shaoqing had a gentle personality, which was similar to Bull Egg. Even when Yan Congming made things difficult for him in the Northwest Army Camp, he had never felt such resistance.

“Don’t be afraid, Second Uncle just had a stroke. It’s not some other serious illness.” Helian Beiming caught a glimpse of the expression on Yu Shaoqing’s face and thought that his brother was resisting Second Uncle’s illness.

Yu Shaoqing didn’t care about this. He had crawled out of a pile of corpses. Why would he care about illness?

Yu Shaoqing was still immersed in the shock of “why did I have a brother and mother when I woke up” and had yet to completely come back to his senses. Therefore, this strange feeling in his heart did not survive for long and he quickly died in battle.

He and Helian Beiming entered the room. The servants bowed. Helian Beiming instructed, “You guys can leave first. I have something to say to Second Uncle.”

“Yes.” The maidservants glanced at Yu Shaoqing imperceptibly, lowered their heads, and left.

Helian Beiming pushed the wheelchair to the bed. “Second Uncle, we’ve found Yu’er. He’s really not dead. I brought him to see you.”

The Second Old Master had a serious stroke and could not move his body or speak. The only thing he could move was probably his eyes. He widened his turbid old eyes and trembled as he looked at Yu Shaoqing, who had walked into the room with Helian Beiming.

“Second Uncle.” Helian Beiming understood that he wanted to see Yu Shaoqing. He turned around and waved at Yu Shaoqing, who was standing at the side and refused to come over. “Yu’er, come here.”

Yu Shaoqing had yet to accept this name for the time being. He paused for three seconds in protest before walking over reluctantly.

Helian Beiming said softly, “Stand closer and let Second Uncle take a good look at you.”

Yu Shaoqing widened his ox eyes and glared at the Second Old Master. Look, get a good look!

The Second Old Master was so frightened by the face that was suddenly magnified in front of him that he almost died.

The Second Old Master had grown up with Bull Egg. He knew the change in his brother’s appearance better than Helian Beiming. Wasn’t this what Bull Egg looked like in his thirties? It was probably impossible to say that he wasn’t a little Bull Egg.

But wasn’t Little Bull Egg dead? He had killed them with his own hands!

It was precisely because he was certain that the other party was dead that the moment he saw the other party appear in front of him alive, the Second Old Master thought that he had seen a ghost.

Helian Beiming saw the flash of fear in the Second Old Master’s eyes. He thought that most of the servants in the manor had this reaction, so he did not take it to heart. He patiently explained to the Second Old Master, “I hid something from Second Uncle earlier. Actually, Chao’er is not Second Brother’s child. Ah Wan is.”

What? That girl? This man… he was… he was that girl’s biological father?

The Second Old Master felt that his brain was not enough. How did that crazy woman abandon her biological granddaughter and acknowledge a grandson-in-law? And she casually caught a fake on the streets and it actually became the real one? What kind of dog shit luck was this!!!

Initially, the Second Old Master was still thinking about how to give the East Manor a beautiful counterattack. However, if one of the couple was the Old Madam’s biological grandchild, then his plan to expose Yan Jiuchao and use him to attack the East Manor could only die in the womb.

The Second Old Master was furious. However, what was even angrier was yet to come.

Helian Beiming felt deeply guilty about once hiding his brother’s background. Now that he could speak, he said without reservation, “…Actually, I lied to Second Uncle and everyone back then. I personally buried the corpse of a baby. I thought that it was my brother, but my mother couldn’t accept this blow. She went crazy, so I changed my words and said that my brother wasn’t dead but had gone missing.”

I know that! I killed him! I was secretly watching you bury the corpse!

Helian Beiming sighed. “How would I know that the lie I unintentionally say would actually be the truth? However, my brother didn’t go missing, but was saved. I suspect that the carriage falling off the cliff back then wasn’t an accident at all, but that someone deliberately did it. That person should have wanted my mother and brother’s lives. Fortunately, my mother was saved, but my brother fell off the cliff. The Helian family has been on the battlefield for generations and has made countless enemies. For a moment, I can’t guess who the culprit is.”

Helian Beiming’s guess was right. Back then, the Second Old Master did want the lives of the mother and son. However, his motive was not revenge, but to use this to attack Bull Egg and crush his will. At that time, Bull Egg had already been appointed by the Emperor to go to the battlefield. A dejected general could easily die under the enemy’s knife. As long as Bull Egg died, a Helian Beiming who was less than ten years old would be at the mercy of others.

Unexpectedly, that woman did not die. Before going to war, Bull Egg had promised her that he would definitely come back to look for her alive. Bull Egg had done it.

Bull Egg was never immersed in the pain of losing his youngest son. He took good care of his wife and raised his eldest son well. In fact, for a long time after that, the Second Old Master did not find a chance to attack the East Manor.

It was not until Bull Egg died that the time came.

Of course, now was not the time to recall this. What the Second Old Master was puzzled about was that the assassin he had sent back then had clearly killed the child. When he rushed over later, he had also seen the two of them bury the corpse. How did the child grow up and appear in front of him?

They had carefully screened the location of the crime. No hunter or villager would pass by. Therefore, even if the child fell down and was lucky, there was no way he could be saved.

Could it be that… the assassin he sent back then did not kill the child? Not only that, he even saved that child in a moment of soft-heartedness?

This sounded very ridiculous, but combined with the deadlock at that time, there was only one way out. What a joke. He was just a sacrificial soldier and an emotionless killing tool, but he actually felt compassion for a child?

It was too late to say anything now. They could not even find the truth because the sacrificial soldier he had sent out back then was no longer around. That sacrificial soldier went missing. However, he had a poisonous pill in his body that was used to control the sacrificial soldiers. If he did not take the antidote on time, he would die.

The Second Old Master did not care where he died.

When he died, he was carrying an unkilled child in his arms. That was what the Second Old Master was really worried about. He must have wanted to leave Nanzhao with the child, the further the better. Unexpectedly, the poison acted up halfway.

What did he do then?

The Second Old Master could not help but wonder if he had died just like that, or if he was worried that the death of a sacrificial soldier would implicate this child, so he placed the child in a safe and discoverable place?

What was he doing when the child was taken away? Was he lying not far away, waiting for death? Did he completely close his eyes after the child was taken away?
