529 Ending (1)
Yu Gang was stunned. “What do you mean, Young Master?”
Yan Jiuchao did not answer him and left without looking back.
“Young Madam,” Yu Gang looked at Yu Wan in shock, trying to persuade Yu Wan to tell him the answer.
Yu Wan spread her hands. “Don’t look at me.” She didn’t understand that guy’s thinking either.
After the couple left, Yu Gang thought for a long time on the spot. Young Master’s words clearly said that Madam was the culprit who harmed the General, but why did Madam do this? Madam and the General were husband and wife. Although he was quite puzzled about the cuckold matter, he never believed that the two of them did not have feelings for each other.
As for what the general was thinking, he did not know.
“What a headache.” Yu Gang scratched his head and decided not to tell the general what Young Master said for the time being. He would wait for the truth to come out.
Perhaps Yu Gang himself did not notice that he, who had once sworn to be loyal to Helian Beiming alone, had unknowingly treated Yan Jiuchao as someone he could be loyal and trust.
Yan Jiuchao knew nothing about all of this. When he let Yu Gang hear his guess just now, it was not because he believed that Yu Gang would keep it a secret for him, but at this point, it did not matter if he kept it a secret or not. He had a way to deal with it.
“Yan Jiuchao.” Yu Wan caught up to her husband and grabbed his cold wrist.
Yan Jiuchao glanced at her sideways. “Yu Ah Wan, are you addicted to holding hands?”
Yu Wan : “…”
You’re my husband. So what if we’re holding hands? Why didn’t you say that you were addicted to sucking cats all day? Only the state officials were allowed to set fire, but the commoners were not allowed to light the lamps?!
“So what if I’m addicted? I won’t let go!” Yu Wan simply hugged his arm.
“Silly.” Yan Jiuchao muttered softly and entered the room with a “hand accessory”.
Next, it was time to deal with the West Manor. The butler confessed to the Second Old Master’s crimes. At first, Madam Li, Helian Yu, and Helian Cheng firmly believed that he confessed under the East Manor’s torture. It was not until the guards beside the Second Old Master also confessed one after another that Madam Li and her sons realized that the Second Old Master might have really committed a heinous crime. Helian Beiming did not tell the three of them about the sacrificial soldiers camp and only called Helian Feng over.
“You’re Second Uncle’s eldest grandson. There are some things I can’t tell your mother and brothers, but I hope you can know the entire truth.” With that, Helian Beiming asked Yu Gang to bring Helian Feng to the sacrificial soldier camp that had become a ruin.
If Helian Feng still wanted to struggle before, then the moment he saw the sacrificial soldier camp, he gave up all resistance.
Unlike his two naughty younger brothers, he had been raised as an heir since he was young. He was familiar with the laws of Nanzhao. Putting aside everything else, just this sacrificial soldier camp that violated the laws of the country was enough to wipe out all the Helian family.
“My-my grandfather… did this?” He felt a lump in his throat. With such a big thing happening, the biggest blow might not be Helian Beiming, who had always respected the Second Old Master as his biological uncle, but this eldest grandson who treated his grandfather as his faith.
Fortunately, there was one survivor in the sacrificial soldier camp. That golden-masked sacrificial soldier had once worked beside the Second Old Master. Before anyone could beat him up, he took the initiative to confess the Second Old Master’s crimes. He was so tactful that he did not look like a sacrificial soldier at all!
The witnesses and evidence were all there. The Second Old Master’s crime could not be cleared even if he wanted to.
If such a big thing happened to the people of the East Manor, it would be a national matter. However, the West Manor was a family matter and the Helian family could deal with it themselves.
Helian Beiming came to the Second Old Master’s bed. “You’re my biological uncle. There’s no reason for me to chase you out of the house. I’ve already informed a few elders. They’ll rule on Second Uncle’s crime.”
The results of the elders’ discussion were quickly out. The elders were heartbroken that Bull Egg had raised such an ingrate brother, but at the same time, they were glad that they had found Yu Shaoqing and exposed the ingrate’s crime. It was impossible for the Second Old Master to continue staying in the Helian family.
He was moved to a dilapidated manor outside the Imperial Capital. On the surface, it was to recuperate, but in reality, he was imprisoned and waiting for death. He could never return to the Helian family in his life, and he could not be buried in the family’s graveyard after he died.
This was a disguised expulsion. He had spent most of his life, but in the end, he ended up with a lonely soul. To the Second Old Master, there was nothing more serious than this.
