The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

790 Saintess Blood

That was the only valuable thing left in Madam Lan’s hands. She only gave it away because her heart ached. In the end, the three little fellows threw it away without a word. Instead, they ran away with the worthless box and red rope.

Madam Lan was so shocked by this move that she didn’t know what to say. Madam Lan guessed that Yu Wan was married and even had children, but she did not guess that there were three. It was really too surprising.

Back then, she and her sister almost didn’t survive. She really didn’t know how Ah Wan raised the triplets to be so fair and fat, making them quite likable.

The maidservant replied that the delivery room had been cleaned and Zi Yan had been settled down. Madam Lan asked the maidservant to carry the child over and placed him beside Zi Yan. She would carry him over after Zi Yan fed them milk.

The most flustered moment finally passed. Madam Lan held Yu Wan’s hand and sat down. She asked her how she came to the Nether Capital and who she came with. “…Back then, when Sis left a token at the bottom of the cliff, she was also hoping that she could get lucky. After so many years, I haven’t heard from my mother. I’ve long given up.”

Yu Wan said, “It was also a coincidence that we could find the token. To be honest, other than acknowledging the Lan family, we came to the Nether Capital for another matter.”

“Oh? What is it?” Madam Lan asked.

Yu Wan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. “My husband… was poisoned by the Fragrance of Hundred Miles and needed four types of medicinal primers. One of them was the blood of the Saintess. We found a handwritten letter about the descendants of the Saintess and the sorcerer and found that the Saintess’ blood was in the Ghost Clan, so we went to the clan. In the end, we accidentally entered the bottom of the cliff and dug out what the grandmother left behind.”

“I see. It seems that Sister was right to leave behind a token back then. Unfortunately, she didn’t see you return with her own eyes.” Madam Lan sighed with emotion. With Sister’s cultivation, if she hadn’t fallen into that pair of sluts’ trap, why would she not have survived until now?

“However, how did my grandson-in-law get poisoned by the Fragrance of Hundred Miles?” Madam Lan had also heard a little about this kind of poison. It was said to be very poisonous, but it would not kill him immediately. However, there was almost no solution because the four herbs were all rare in the world.

Since they were family, Yu Wan had nothing to hide. She told him about her and Yan Jiuchao’s background. Only then did Madam Lan know that her mother had gone to Nanzhao after leaving the Nether Capital.

Her mother’s early death was most likely related to her serious injuries. That Shen person saved her mother, and her mother had nowhere to go, so she agreed to be his mistress.

However, Madam Lan felt that with her mother’s personality, it was unlikely for her to be a mistress. She even gave birth to a child so quickly? Was the child really from the Shen family? Could it be—

No, that was impossible.

Madam Lan shook her head and dismissed the ridiculous guess that flashed across her mind.

Madam Lan spent a little more time digesting Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao’s background. Due to time constraints, Yu Wan did not say much. The main point was that Yan Jiuchao was poisoned when he was young. The two poisons restrained each other, so the poison did not flare up. After the poison curse was removed, the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles gradually appeared.

She looked at the endless night and let out a long sigh. “If Mother was still alive, it wouldn’t be a problem to have as much saintess blood as you wanted. However, she passed away. The current saintess…”

She didn’t finish her sentence.

However, Yu Wan understood.

Initially, she also thought that since the Saintess came from the Lan family, as a descendant of the Lan family, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to obtain the Saintess’ blood. However, now that this Saintess and the direct descendants of the Lan family were irreconcilable, things became not so simple.

But no matter what, Yu Wan was determined to obtain the blood of the Saintess. Whether the Saintess was willing or not, even if she had to steal or snatch it, she had to obtain the medicinal primer for Yan Jiuchao.

“How can I see the Saintess?” Yu Wan asked.

Madam Lan pondered and said, “The Saintess’s status in the Nether Capital is outstanding. Even the Lan family in the Nether Capital might not be able to see her easily. Moreover, she has many experts by her side and her internal energy is deep. I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to snatch it.”

“Then we’ll use our wits,” Yu Wan said. “Since I’m already here, I can’t pass by empty-handed.”

“I’ll think of a way.” Madam Lan thought of something and said, “Did you go out alone with the children? Are the two outside the door your guards? Forgive me for being blunt, their martial arts are not weak, but if they’re used to dealing with the Saintess, first of all, you don’t have enough people.”

Yu Wan smiled and said, “I didn’t come by myself. My husband and the others are also here.”

Madam Lan was shocked. “Child, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

She actually left her grandson-in-law outside for an entire day!

Madam Lan immediately asked Yu Wan to bring Yan Jiuchao and the others over. In the group, Yan Jiuchao’s appearance was the most outstanding. Madam Lan was not surprised to notice him in the crowd. He was tall, handsome, and had exquisite facial features. He exuded an unconcealable royal domineering aura.

“Hubby, this is Second Grand-aunt,” Yu Wan introduced to Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao still had that cold face, but he politely called her Second Grand-aunt. Then, he said to Madam Lan, “I’m Sikong Yi.”

Madam Lan looked at Yu Wan in shock. Wasn’t it Yan Jiuchao? Why did it become Sikong Yi? Sikong was from the royal family of the Nether Capital. Could this person be related to the royal family?

Yu Wan cleared her throat and covered her lips with her hand. She whispered to Madam Lan, “He absorbed the Ghost King’s power and now thinks he’s the Ghost King, Sikong Yi.”

“Ah…” As the head of the Lan family, it was naturally impossible for her to be clueless about the old and new families of the Sikong Clan. Back then, Madam Sikong had given birth to two sons. The youngest son was defeated and was imprisoned in the palace. The eldest son led the entire clan to move the capital, leaving the Qiu family to supervise the youngest son’s bloodline. In the early years, all those who committed serious crimes were exiled to the old clan. Then, at some point, the new ones completely cut off their ties with the old clan. No more sinners were exiled and they were only dealt with by themselves. As time passed, the commoners of the New Capital no longer knew that there was an old clan thousands of miles away.

Madam Lan quickly suppressed the surprise in her heart and looked at Yan Jiuchao steadily. “Ah Yi, Ah Yi, come in and sit.”

Yan Jiuchao did not object to his new form of address. He held his wife’s hand and entered the room expressionlessly. Then, Madam Lan met Grandma and the others and arranged for them to stay in the room in the backyard.

Yu Wan told Grandma, Shadow Thirteen, and the others about the Lan family’s grudges. “…With the relationship between the two branches of the Lan family, it’s unlikely that the Saintess will take the initiative to give the medicinal primer to us. We have to think of a way to outwit her.”

Shadow Six thought for a while and said, “We can’t even enter the Nether Capital now. How can we outwit her? We have to at least see the Saintess first.”

Yu Wan agreed. “I’ve asked Grand-aunt. There are eight experts beside the Saintess, and all of them are Asuras.”

They gasped. Qing Yan, who had originally planned to suggest that Asura fly into the city to kidnap the Saintess, instantly fell silent. Even though Asura already had the strength of the Asura King, he still had no chance of winning against eight Asuras.

Qing Yan patted his frightened chest. “Are Asuras cabbages? Why are there eight at once… We can’t even plan a sneak attack.”

Yu Wan narrowed her eyes and said, “These are only rumors on the surface. No one knows if there are more powerful experts in the dark, so we have to be careful. We can’t expose our whereabouts, let alone the purpose of this trip.”

If the Saintess found out that the direct descendants of the Lan family needed her blood, she would probably think of a way to kill them all.

Shadow Six said, “How about this? I’ll sneak into the city tomorrow and investigate the whereabouts of the Saintess. Then, I’ll see if there’s a way to let her be alone.”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I have a way to lure the Lan family out.”

Madam Lan’s voice suddenly appeared at the door. Shadow Six was the closest to the door and strode in to help her in.

“Second Grand-aunt.” Yu Wan gave up her seat.

Madam Lan sat down and said with a solemn gaze, “Back then, when my sister left the Nether Capital, I was the temporary head of the family. Before she died, she even handed over the family head’s jade token to me. All these years, they haven’t killed me because they haven’t obtained the Lan family’s jade token. Only I know the whereabouts of the Lan family’s jade token. If I die, they can forget about obtaining the jade token forever.”

Shadow Six scratched his head and asked, “Granny Lan, is the jade token… very important?”

Madam Lan smiled faintly. “To the head of the Lan family, the jade token is like a heirloom seal to the ruler of a country. Do you think it’s important or not? They’re using the momentum of the Saintess to occupy the Lan family now, but once the Saintess is gone, the Lan family won’t listen to their orders so easily. After the city gate opens tomorrow, find the guards guarding the city and say that Lan Qin is willing to hand over the Lan family’s jade token. Let the Saintess see me personally! At that time, I’ll use the jade token to make a deal with her and ask her to hand over the Saintess’ blood!”
