Chapter 437: Chapter 437 - Recognition (5)

The Old Madam stretched out her arm. From her excited expression, it was obvious that she wanted to reunite with her family!

Yu Wan was overjoyed and stretched out her arm to the Old Madam. “Grandmother—”

However, the Old Madam walked past her.

Yu Wan : “…”

“My grandson—”

Yu Wan was stunned. Who-who is your grandson? She turned around and saw the Old Madam hugging her husband with tears in her eyes.

Yan Jiuchao, who was stunned: “…”

Everyone, who was even more confused than Yan Jiuchao: “…”

Helian Beiming was dumbfounded. Even he did not expect such a situation. It was different from what he had imagined.

“W-what’s going on?” Old Cui asked Yu Wan softly.

Yu Wan said resentfully, “How would I know the situation? I’m even more confused than you!”

She memorized every taboo and preference of the Old Madam. She memorized till her head was going to explode. Yan Jiuchao had done nothing but eat, sleep, and eat. How did he become the Old Madam’s “grandson” in the end?! How did he pick up this ready-made cheapness?!

Old Cui cleared his throat. “Ahem, Madam, are you mistaken? He’s not your grandson.”

The Old Madam hugged Yan Jiuchao tightly and glared at Old Cui angrily. “I’m not mistaken! He’s the most beautiful! I can tell at a glance that he’s my grandson!”

“…”

So the previous people were seen through not because their bloodlines did not sense it, but because they were ugly… Everyone in the room was in a mess when they felt that they had told the truth.

Goo~ Yan Jiuchao’s stomach growled.

The old lady’s expression changed drastically. Her heart ached as she said, “My good grandson, are you hungry?”

He was hungry, yes.

Good grandson, no.

Yan Jiuchao looked at the old lady who was hugging him expressionlessly. “Let go.”

The temples of everyone in the room throbbed. Did he want to die by talking to the Old Madam like this? Those who came to acknowledge their families had all curried favor with Old Madam. In the end, you actually dared to speak coldly to her!

The old lady obediently let go. Everyone was speechless again. However, the Old Madam quickly reached out again. This time, she did not hug Yan Jiuchao tightly. Instead, she only pulled Yan Jiuchao’s sleeve and said with a smile, “What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to make it for you!”

Under the Old Madam’s personal order, the kitchen began to work without stopping.

Half an hour later, a table of steaming delicacies was served. Old Cui and the others had no intention of staying to join in the fun. They asked Yu Gang to bring them to the temporary courtyard, so only Yu Wan stayed.

The first time Yu Wan saw the Old Madam, she felt that she was a normal granny. Now, she finally believed that she had gone a little crazy. Otherwise, why would she treat Yan Jiuchao as her biological grandson?

Helian Beiming was the eldest son of the Old Madam. Logically speaking, he should be doted on to the bone. However, ever since she recognized her grandson, the Old Madam no longer looked at her son.

Old Madam asked Yan Jiuchao to sit beside her. Helian Beiming sat on her other side. Yu Wan walked over and was about to sit down beside Yan Jiuchao.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The old lady frowned. “Who are you? Who asked you to sit?”

“She’s my wife,” Yan Jiuchao said.

The old madam’s expression changed in a second and she said with a smile, “So you’re my granddaughter-in-law? Then quickly sit!”

Yu Wan sat down with a dark expression. “Grandmother” was clearly hers. Return her “grandmother” to her!

Old Madam picked up a big drumstick for Yan Jiuchao. See, there was still a difference between a grandson and a granddaughter-in-law! The Old Madam kept putting food into Yan Jiuchao’s bowl and piled his bowl into a small hill. However, she did not eat it herself and just looked at Yan Jiuchao happily.

Helian Beiming gave Yan Jiuchao a look, indicating for him to pick up some food for Old Madam. Yan Jiuchao picked up another pair of clean chopsticks and casually picked up a piece of pork tenderloin. This was Yu Wan’s favorite.

Yu Wan and Helian Beiming’s expressions froze. Old Madam’s first taboo—no red meat.

In the next second, the two of them were stunned. They saw the Old Madam eat the pork tenderloin heartily! After the Old Madam finished eating, she looked at Yan Jiuchao expectantly, as if she was waiting for her grandson to pick up food for her.

Yan Jiuchao picked up a few more pieces. Eight out of ten were food that Old Madam usually didn’t eat. Unexpectedly, Old Madam accepted them all.

Old Madam had never been so full, nor had she ever smiled so contentedly.

Yu Wan sighed secretly, so what was the use of her memorizing till her head exploded? It was not as good as this fellow’s good face.

The Old Madam did not acknowledge Yu Wan. Instead, she acknowledged Yan Jiuchao. This was beyond everyone’s expectations. However, no matter what, they had obtained the death-exemption gold plate. They stayed in the General Manor openly.

Helian Beiming was also about to start understanding the background of this group of people. He originally planned to interrogate Yan Jiuchao first, but Yan Jiuchao was occupied by the Old Madam, so he had to get someone to call Yu Wan over.

Yu Wan went to Helian Beiming’s study. The window of the study was wide open. From inside, one could clearly see the commotion in the courtyard. The Old Madam was strolling in the courtyard with Yan Jiuchao.

Helian Beiming retracted his gaze from the courtyard and looked at Yu Wan quietly. “Who exactly are you?”

Yu Wan pondered for a moment and said truthfully, “The Princely Heir Consort of Yan City.”

Helian Beiming’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was obvious that he was a little surprised, but it was not an exaggeration. It was obvious that he had long guessed that their identities were not simple, but he had never expected them to be so extraordinary.

“What about those people?” he asked.

“They’re the servants and guards of the Yan Manor.” Other than Old Cui and the two maidservants, Jiang Hai and Ah Wei’s family were all people with backgrounds. Yu Wan did not want Helian Beiming to suspect them because of this.

Helian Beiming looked at Yu Wan deeply and did not have any doubts. He asked, “What are you doing in Nanzhao?”

“My husband has been poisoned and needs a few herbs.”

“What poison?”

“Fragrance of Hundred Miles.”
