516 Family Recognition (4)
There were many books in the Helian family, and there were also lost ones. However, it was different if it was for the token of recognition in the future. They did not deliberately abandon this child, so they naturally would not put the so-called token on him. However, they could not rule out the possibility that the kind person who saved his brother would leave some clues.
“Do you have it with you?” Helian Beiming asked.
Yu Shaoqing rolled his eyes. They were here to look for the little black eggs, not to specially acknowledge their family. Who would bring that thing!
When Yu Wan saw her father’s arrogant look, for some reason, she thought of Little Bruiser’s arrogant look when he first saw his father after returning from the war. At that time, she was wondering why such an honest child would look like this when he saw his father. Now, she finally understood who her brother had inherited his personality from.
Yu Wan could not help but laugh. When she laughed, Yan Jiuchao also laughed. When Yan Jiuchao laughed, Little Sly Jiang laughed too. When Madam Jiang laughed, Yu Shaoqing couldn’t hide his laughter anymore.
The old man, who had been silent all this while, said calmly, “I say, aren’t you guys celebrating too early? When you entered the manor back then, you announced to the public that Helian Chao grew up in Qinghe City. His father and mother have already passed away. Now that his parents have come looking for him, aren’t you going to think about how to cover up your lie?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was collectively petrified!

The news of the Old Madam acknowledging her son had spread to the West Manor that night. Madam Li was lying at the head of the bed, letting Aunt Wang apply medicine to her injuries when she heard the maidservant report, “The Second Master of the East Manor has returned!”
“Second Master? What Second Master?” Madam Li was confused.
The maidservant said, “It’s-it’s the Young Master’s father, the Grand General’s younger brother.”
Madam Li choked. “Isn’t he dead?”
Madam Li did not think that the death was because the child fell off the cliff and did not have a corpse left. Instead, after Helian Chao returned to the East Manor, Helian Beiming announced that Helian Chao’s parents had passed away early, leaving only Helian Chao as the only child.
Why did the dead Second Master come back to life in the blink of an eye?
Madam Li’s first reaction was that she had specially found someone to pretend to be Second Master in order not to let the West Manor pay respects to their ancestors, right? After all, Second Master was on the genealogy back then. If Second Master returned, the West Manor would have nothing to do with offering the incense sticks.
The maidservant scratched her head and said, “There seems to be a misunderstanding. The Second Master and Second Madam of the East Manor are not dead. They deliberately said that to avoid their debt.”
Avoid debt? Who were they kidding with such a lame excuse?
Not to mention Madam Li, even the people from the East Manor felt that this excuse was lame, but there was no other way. Back then, they had said too much. Now, they were slapping themselves in the mouth. Fortunately, Yu Shaoqing was real. This could not be fake.
Madam Li still did not believe him. She endured her waist injury and went to her father-in-law’s courtyard.
The Second Old Master’s news was not slower than Madam Li’s. He had also heard that the Second Master had returned to the manor. Of course, he did not believe it. After all, he was the one who caused the child to fall off the cliff back then and was also the one who sent the assassins. His assassin saw the child’s corpse, which had become a pile of meat paste, with his own eyes.
That was why he was so sure that nothing could stop the West Manor’s great cause because that child would not live! This so-called Second Master was definitely an imposter.
“Second Old Master, the Grand General and Second Master of the East Manor have come to see you.”
Accompanied by the servant’s message, Helian Beiming and Yu Shaoqing entered the Second Old Master’s room. When the Second Old Master saw that young handsome face that was almost identical to his brother, he felt terrible!
