Chapter 450: The Whereabouts of the Medicinal Primer (2)

Breakfast was placed in the Old Madam’s room.

Yan Jiuchao removed the gauze in frustration, but Old Madam brought a new one and wrapped his hands again. He was as irritable as a little lion that could explode at any time, but he did not explode.

Yu Wan smiled at the two of them. “Grandma, I’m going out for a while. I’ll leave my husband in your care.” She was very relieved to leave Yan Jiuchao by Old Madam’s side.

“Go ahead. Of course, I’ll take good care of my own grandson!” The Old Madam did not detain Yu Wan in the manor, nor did she interfere much with her freedom. On this point, she was more open-minded than most old people.

Yu Wan smiled. “Then I’ll come back and bring you candied hawthorn.”

The old lady’s eyes flashed and she said seriously, “I, I, I, I… I’m not eating it!”

Slurp~ She swallowed.

Yu Wan laughed until she bent down and left happily. Yue Gou stayed in the manor. Qing Yan led the carriage out and went to the River Gazing Inn diagonally opposite the Paramount with Yu Wan.

The consumption level in the Imperial Capital of Nanzhao was higher than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The price of a mere room in an inn was actually as high as three taels. In order to better monitor the movements of Paramount, Jiang Hai had no choice but to ask for a Heaven-class room with an excellent view. It cost ten taels a night.

Ten taels was ten thousand yuan. She could have stayed in a president suite in the modern world. Don’t be afraid, there’s a mine at home. With this thought in mind, Yu Wan’s heart no longer ached.

Jiang Hai invited Yu Wan into the room. He saw Qing Yan following him and said angrily, “Why are you here too?”

Qing Yan chuckled. “If I didn’t come, who would drive the carriage?” Jiang Hai choked. This kid still wanted to monopolize Ah Wan. Dream on!

“You don’t like Qing Yan?” Yu Wan asked Jiang Hai softly after entering the room. Without waiting for Jiang Hai to answer, Yu Wan said, “Then I’ll bring Yue Gou next time?”

Jiang Hai took a deep breath. “…No need. It’s all the same.”

“Oh.” Yu Wan ignored this and found a seat by the window. The window was extremely ingenious and was somewhat similar to the blinds in her previous life. If she adjusted the angle of the leaves, she could clearly see the movements outside, but the outside could not see to the inside.

Yu Wan seriously suspected that this was designed to peep at the beauty of Paramount. No wonder it was worth ten taels.

Jiang Hai poured a cup of tea for Yu Wan. Qing Yan looked at him.

Jiang Hai said in a deep voice, “Pour it yourself!”

Qing Yan shook his head and poured himself a cup.

“Did Dong Xian’er make a move?” Yu Wan asked.

Jiang Hai sat down opposite Yu Wan and looked in the direction of Paramount. “No, Dong Xian’er has been staying in her room for the days when she doesn’t see guests. Two guests asked to see her, but she rejected them.”

“I want to see Miss Dong!” As the two of them spoke, a loud commotion came from the entrance of Paramount. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a black cloak standing in front of Paramount with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant.

“That’s… a Gu Master?” Yu Wan frowned slightly.

Just like how scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty would wear long robes, Gu Masters of Nanzhao wore cloaks. Their identities were very easy to recognize. Of course, there were also people who kept a low profile and wore ordinary clothes. Obviously, the person in front of them was not.

Miss Dong would only receive guests on the first and fifteenth of the New Year. If she were to make an exception, the other party had to be a Gu Master. Yu Wan’s expression became unfathomable.

“What’s all the commotion about?” An old madam with heavy makeup came out.

The Gu Master negotiated with her. The street was noisy and crowded. Yu Wan did not hear what the two of them said clearly and only knew that the Gu Master had been chased away by the thugs summoned by the madam.

Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. “It seems that not every Gu Master can see Dong Xian’er.”

Jiang Hai said, “At least a great Gu Master.”

Yu Wan was stunned for a few seconds.

Although she had met two Gu Masters on the way here, Yu Wan did not care much about the other party’s qualifications. When she heard Jiang Hai mention it today, she could not help but ask a few more questions. Only then did she realize that the Gu Masters of Nanzhao were all registered.

Gu Master qualification certificate… Uh, no, jade tokens were obtained with strength. There were Gu Masters and Great Gu Masters. The scumbag Yu and Fei Luo they met on the way here were only Gu Masters. Great Gu Masters were often esteemed guests of the royal family. They would not lower themselves to come to a brothel for a herb.

Yu Wan touched her chin. “In that case, the Fire Lingzhi is quite safe.”

Wasn’t it safe? Dong Xian’er didn’t think much of the Gu Master, and there weren’t a lot of Great Gu Masters. They could only wait for the fifteenth for fair competition. In terms of wealth, her family had a mine. In terms of talent, she and Qing Yan weren’t inferior. In terms of martial arts, there was still Jiang Hai.

In short, she was determined to get the Fire Lingzhi. If Buddha blocked her, she would kill Buddha. If God blocked her, she would kill God!

Yu Wan sat at the River Gazing Inn for a while before leaving. She did not forget what she had promised the Old Madam. She found a shop with candied hawthorn and bought a few large and bright sticks. She returned to the manor in a good mood.

On the other side, in the ancestral hall where the Helian family worshiped the ancestral tablets, the two brothers, Helian Yu and Helian Cheng, sneaked out.

“Young Master!” The pageboy guarding them called out to them anxiously.

“What are you doing?” Helian Cheng asked impatiently.

The pageboy said in distress, “Can you not go out? If Second Madam finds out, she’ll kill me!”

Helian Cheng said coldly, “If you don’t say it, who will discover it? Second Brother and I will be back soon.”

Although Old Madam’s grandson had returned home and he should call him Third Brother, he could not change it and did not want to change it.

Helian Yu tugged at his brother’s sleeve. “Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go!”

Helian Cheng turned around and glared at the pageboy. “Don’t let it slip! Don’t complain to my mother! Otherwise, I’ll chase you out of the manor!”

The pageboy agreed fearfully.

“Second Brother, am I ugly?” Helian Cheng pointed at his face and asked Helian Yu. Yesterday, they had been tortured by Yan Jiuchao’s mechanisms. The two of them had become pig heads. Although they had used the most powerful secret medicine in Nanzhao, their faces were still a little swollen.

Helian Yu was not any better than his brother. He frowned and said, “Don’t worry about this first. We should not let the Little Commandery Princess get anxious from waiting.”
