The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

735 The Truth of Karma (2)

Outside the house, Madam Tan watched this scene quietly and secretly wiped her tears. Originally, Yu Shaoqing wanted her to meet Old Madam too, but when she reached the door, she retreated.

This was good. She didn’t need to disturb them. She planned to leave quietly, but just as she turned around, Helian Beiming pushed the wheelchair and blocked her way.

“Where are you going?” Helian Beiming asked.

Madam Tan lowered her head and said, “Back to the nunnery.”

“The nunnery is gone.” Helian Beiming said.

“I’ll go to another nunnery,” she said, and walked on with her head down.

When they brushed past each other, Helian Beiming grabbed her wrist. “Come home. Isn’t that good?”

Madam Tan’s eyes welled up. She thought that her heart had long died, but when facing this man, she could not put on that cold and hard look.

Madam Tan turned her face away, not daring to look at him or let him see her face. She had crippled his leg. She could not face him.

Helian Beiming could guess what she was thinking. Compared to her self-blame, the self-blame in his heart was even greater. As a husband, he had failed to protect his wife and child and had even implicated her into doing something that made her extremely miserable. If he had poisoned her, even if it was to save her, he would probably live in regret for the rest of his life.

“Are you blaming me?” he said.

Madam Tan said hurriedly, “Why would I blame you? I’m the one who should be blamed!”

Helian Beiming said, “What did you do wrong? I’m Sheng’er’s father. I should have been the one to shoulder the responsibility back then, but it fell on you and Mother’s shoulders. I’m ashamed to be a son, a husband, and a father!”

Madam Tan said, “You… stop talking!”

“Then have you forgiven me?” Helian Beiming looked at her.

“I…”

I’ve never blamed you, so how can I forgive you?

“Sister-in-law, Mother is calling for you!” Yu Shaoqing stuck his head out and said.

Madam Tan felt uneasy. Helian Beiming took her rough hand and looked at her deeply. “Let’s go. Don’t make Mother wait.”

“I…” Madam Tan touched her face nervously. She was no longer young.

Helian Beiming smiled and said, “You’re the same as when you married me. Nothing has changed.”

“But…” Madam Tan wanted to refuse, but Helian Beiming pulled her into the house.

The couple chatted with the Old Madam. Helian Sheng was brought to the courtyard by the three little black eggs.

The little black eggs looked at him curiously. Like them, he had no hair on his head!

How kind!

Yu Wan walked over with the food box and called him Big Brother with a smile. She thought of something and asked, “It’s not a coincidence that you lived next door to me in Qinghe Town, right? Did you recognize me long ago? Did you deliberately live next door to me? Also, when you were in jail, you deliberately committed a crime and locked up with me, right?”

Helian Sheng silently agreed.

“Strange, how did you recognize me?”

“I didn’t recognize you.”

“Huh?”

Helian Sheng pointed at Yan Jiuchao, who was looking up at the moon. “I recognize him.”

“How do you know him?”

“I’ve met the Prince Consort.”

This started when Helian Sheng was persecuted by the Empress and left the Helian family. After Helian Sheng was expelled from the family, he did not leave the Imperial Capital. Instead, he wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate against the Empress.

Coincidentally, he heard the conversation between the Little Princess and her subordinates. It turned out that the holy artifact didn’t recognize her as its master. Everything was a smokescreen created by the Gu Masters.

Thus, he came up with an idea. He would steal the holy artifact and expose the Little Princess’ scam to the world. He snuck into the Princess Manor and met the Prince Consort who had regained consciousness.

The Prince Consort drew a painting and muttered about Cong’er. He had been Nangong Li’s study companion and knew that Cong’er was Nangong Li’s nickname. However, the person in the portrait was clearly not Nangong Li.

Of course, he did not take it to heart at that time. He was here to steal the holy artifact. After obtaining it, he left.

After that, he was chased by Nangong Yan. Fortunately, Nangong Yan did not know that he was the one who had stolen the holy artifact. Otherwise, the entire Helian family would have suffered.

He realized that he had taken a hot potato and did not dare to keep the holy artifact in his hand. He tried to destroy the holy artifact, but he could not open the iron bead. He had no choice but to sell it.

He did not say that it was a holy artifact. He only said that it was a Gu King. However, the aura of the holy artifact was different from the Gu Kings. The news still leaked out, but it was no longer his business.

The holy artifact had fallen to the Great Zhou after being snatched by a few dark forces. Yu Wan knew everything that happened after that.

“So it was Big Brother who stole the holy artifact.”

Yu Wan simply did not know what to say. It was all thanks to Helian Sheng that she got this little Gu.

Helian Sheng was even more surprised than Yu Wan, because he never expected that that little thing would fall into his cousin’s hands.

If you were to say that the heavens were blind, yet the heavens had the clearest sight.

Helian Sheng had heard a lot of news in the past few years, including Yan Jiuchao. The first time he saw the portrait of the Princely Heir of Yan City, he realized that he was Cong’er, whom the Prince Consort had mentioned. He began to doubt the Prince Consort’s identity.

He would spare no effort to do anything that could bring down the Empress and the Little Princess. He had investigated a lot of news about Yan Jiuchao, but he only knew that Yu Wan was his cousin after Yu Wan and the Helian family reunited.

Blood relations were a wonderful thing.

In Qinghe Town, he originally planned to follow Yan Jiuchao, but he unintentionally saw Yu Wan. The moment he saw Yu Wan, he could not help but want to protect her.

“Are… are you very happy?” Helian Sheng asked in shock.

Yu Wan nodded vigorously. “Yes!”

“Why?” Helian Sheng asked.

Yu Wan said, “Aunt and Big Brother are back. Of course I’m happy that my family is reunited! On the other hand, Big Brother, your question is so strange. Why do you think I’m unhappy that you’re back?”

Helian Sheng said seriously, “Aren’t you afraid that my return will threaten your father’s position as the family head?”

Yu Wan was stunned at first, then she laughed out loud. Aiyo, this silly brother.

“What… are you laughing at?” Helian Sheng asked blankly.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “The most important thing for a family is to be together. What does it matter who becomes the head of the family?”

Her father was the Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her family had a mine that they could not finish even if they lived for a few lifetimes. What did it matter if he became the heir of the Helian family? Moreover, her mother was the Princess of Nanzhao and her father was the Prince Consort. Wasn’t the entire Nanzhao enough for her father to cause trouble? Who wanted to snatch the Helian family?

Helian Sheng sighed. “I heard about Second Grandpa. If Second Grandpa was like Second Uncle, our family wouldn’t have so many calamities.”

“My father was forced into a corner back then. Now that you’re back…”

Helian Sheng shook his head. “I’ve already entered the Buddha sect. I won’t fight with Second Uncle today, and I won’t in the future.”

This was the truth. Helian Sheng had been a monk for a few years and found that such days were the most peaceful.

“Entered the sect…” Yu Wan touched her chin. “Shouldn’t you ask her before saying this?”

“Huh?” Helian Sheng was stunned by Yu Wen’s question.

Yu Wen pointed at the top of the wall. Heliang Sheng turned his head and saw Dong Xian’er, dressed in purple, standing on the wall, looking at him with gritted teeth.

Helian Sheng’s eyelashes fluttered as he performed a Buddhist salute with one hand. “This female benefactor…”

Dong Xian’er exploded. “Now you know how to call me a female benefactor! Why didn’t you call me that when you were sleeping with me?”

Yu Wan gasped. She knew that these two people had something on, but she did not know that it was such explosive news.

Brother, you’re a monk after all. Can you not harm the young lady like this?

“Amitabha.” Helian Sheng bowed and said, “I’ve already explained to you that what happened that day was a misunderstanding. Thank you for helping me with my sister’s matter today. We’ll meet again.”

Dong Xian’er stomped her feet. “Monk! Stop right there!”
