This was the great general that young man mentioned? Someone from the Helian family? He didn’t look like Helian Qi either.
Helian Qi was so ugly that he could not even compare to a single strand of this man’s hair. It was precisely because she had seen Helian Qi that Yu Wan did not have any illusions about his family. Who would have thought that she would see a man who could compete with Yan Jiuchao in terms of looks?
“Here is fine. City Lord, please return,” a young attendant said.
The young man called City Lord smiled and cupped his hands at the man in the wheelchair. “It’s late. Grand General, rest early. I’ll take my leave first.”
This young man was actually the City Lord. Were all the officials in Nanzhao so young? However, the man in the wheelchair was not old and was about the same age as her father.
While Yu Wan was thinking, the City Lord of the West City bade farewell. The attendant pushed the wheelchair down the corridor. The City Lord of the West City had spent a lot of effort to entertain his esteemed guest. There were wooden boards on the steps that could make it convenient for the wheelchair to move up and down.
“Grand General, are you tired? In my opinion, those people just now were too oblivious. Didn’t they see that you were unhappy? They even kept toasting you!” The attendant rambled.
The man in the wheelchair did not say anything, but there was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows. The attendant pushed the wheelchair up the corridor.
As Yu Wan looked at them, she secretly prayed that it was not this room, not this room…
“We’re here,” the attendant said.
It was this room! What she was afraid of came true.
Yu Wan looked around. It was easy to discover her if she hid at the bottom of the bed, and she could not hide in the cabinet. After thinking for a while, she saw the ear room beside her and walked behind the curtain.
The attendant pushed the general into the room. Yu Wan held her breath. At this moment, she did not see them anymore. She could only hear the conversation clearly.
“Grand General, I’ll go get the kitchen to boil some hot water. You can take a bath to relieve your fatigue later. You didn’t eat much at the banquet. Shall I ask them to finish cooking porridge? Sweet porridge or salty porridge?”
“No, I’m not hungry.”
“But you have to eat something.”
“Have you bought everything I asked you to buy?”
“Yes, I’ve bought it. Incense, candles, paper money, tributes, clothes, and a residence. It’s the same as before!”
The clothes and residence he mentioned were naturally not for living people. Instead, they were made of paper. Yu Wan had seen them in her previous life. It was said that they were burned for their deceased relatives to enjoy in the netherworld.
“Are you still going to use the excuse that you’re going to see Young Master tomorrow?” The footman asked.
“Yes.” The grand general nodded.
“Okay, I understand.” The attendant went to pull the door open. Just as he reached the door, he said, “You should eat something. How about mutton noodles?”
“No.”
“Oh.” The attendant left in disappointment.
However, just as he took a step, the general’s voice turned cold. “Who is it?!”
The attendant walked back.
Yu Wan pinched her nose tightly. Her nose was itchy just now and she wanted to sneeze. But she hadn’t sneezed yet, so how did this general discover her?
The attendant pulled out his dagger and walked towards the ear room with a cold expression. “Who is it?!”
“Chirp!” A cute little white ball rolled out.
“Oh?” The footman widened his eyes and bent down to pick up the little white ball. He turned around and smiled. “Grand General, it’s a little fox.”
The little snow fox looked at the man in the wheelchair cutely. The grand general reached out. The attendant placed the little snow fox in his palm. The little fellow was soft and small. Its fox eyes were watery and there was a tuft of hair on its head. It was extremely cute.
The grand general suddenly laughed. The attendant was stunned. Did he hear wrongly? Did his master… laugh just now? How long had it been since he last heard the general laugh?
He was sold to the Helian Manor when he was eight years old. After that, he had been serving in the Grand General’s courtyard. At first, he was a child who did the cleaning. When he grew up, he became the Grand General’s attendant. Until now, it had been nine years. In his impression, the Grand General had only laughed a handful of times, and none of them was from the bottom of his heart.
The attendant felt that he had most likely heard wrongly. He looked at his master again. Coincidentally, at this moment, the little snow fox broke free from the general’s demonic claws and flew up to escape quickly. However, it bumped into the pillar. It was hopelessly stupid.
The grand general laughed again.
Master looks so, so good when he laughs… The attendant was stunned. Soon, he came back to his senses and realized that his master had indeed laughed twice in a row. His eyes widened in disbelief. Ever since his master’s martial arts were crippled, he had never laughed heartily again…
