Chapter 532 - 532 Little Black Egg (2)

532 Little Black Egg (2)

The middle-aged nun picked up the pole. Seeing that the little black egg did not follow her, she thought for a while and put down the pole. She poured out one of the buckets of water and placed the little black egg in the bucket. She carried the water on one end and the little black egg on the other and returned to the nunnery under the hot sun.

The little black egg sat cross-legged in the bucket, revealing only its round bald head. He looked even cuter.

After returning to the nunnery, the young nun put down the bucket and wanted to carry the little black egg, but the little black egg refused.

“Let me do it.” The middle-aged nun carried the little black egg out. “His family should be nearby. I’ll send him back.”

The young nun was indignant. She wanted to carry the little black egg and send him back, but the little black egg ignored her. If she had known earlier, she would have woken the child up immediately and placed him in her bucket to pick him up.

The young nun stomped her feet and returned to her room angrily.

The middle-aged nun greeted the old nun, who nodded. “You can go.”

The middle-aged nun held the little black egg’s hand down the mountain. Just as the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, a carriage slowly drove over and stopped beside them. The curtain of the carriage was lifted. The little black egg nodded excitedly, let go of the middle-aged nun’s hand, and pounced on the carriage.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young master jumped down from the carriage. The young master carried the little black egg into his arms, and the little black egg rubbed his head against the young master’s arms.

The young master smiled gently. “Does Dabao miss Mom?”

It was a woman’s voice. And she called herself… Mom?

Dabao nodded and hugged his mother’s neck tightly.

Yu Wan hugged Dabao and bowed to the middle-aged nun in front of her. “Aunt.”

Madam Tan was stunned when an unfamiliar woman suddenly recognized her.

Yu Wan said politely, “I’m Ah Wan. My father is Helian Beiyu.”

Madam Tan was even more surprised. “Beiyu…”

Yu Wan nodded. “Yes, he’s back. Aunt, please talk in the carriage.”

Yu Wan did not bring anything to prove her identity. In fact, in order to cover up her tracks, the carriage was rented halfway. Madam Tan had every reason to reject Yu Wan, but she did not do so. She took a deep look at Yu Wan and got into the carriage with her clothes.

Yu Wan carried Dabao into the carriage.

Madam Tan said, “I don’t have much time.”

Yu Wan said, “I’ll make it short.”

Madam Tan nodded slightly.

Yu Wan put Dabao aside and let him play by himself. She lowered her voice and looked at Madam Tan solemnly. “My father was saved when he fell off the cliff back then. All these years, he’s been living in the Great Zhou. The details can’t be said in such a short time. I’ll tell Aunt when the time is right. I came today mainly to understand two things. One is that Uncle went crazy from cultivating, and the other is the matter about Aunt and Big Brother being expelled from the family. I want to know if they… were all done by Aunt?”

Madam Tan’s reaction was calmer than Yu Wan had imagined. Yu Wan guessed what she would say next. Would she subconsciously refute, or—

“This isn’t something you should interfere with,” Madam Tan said. “Let bygones be bygones. Don’t investigate. There are some things that it’s better not to know.”

Madam Tan’s answer was also beyond Yu Wan’s expectations. This was almost a disguised admission that there was something hidden about what happened back then. She could easily tell the secret behind it to her niece, whom she had only met once. Why did she hide it from Helian Beiming for so many years?

“Aunt, why did you poison Uncle?” Yu Wan skipped the question of whether she had poisoned him or not.

Madam Tan paused and did not deny it. “Like I said, there are some things that it’s better if you don’t know.”

Yu Wan looked at her and said, “Do you hate Uncle?”

Madam Tan said with a calm expression, “You should ask, does he hate me?”

Yu Wan asked about the cause of the incident, and Madam Tan asked about the outcome. Yu Wan sighed softly. “Uncle doesn’t know that you’re involved in his poisoning, but regarding Helian Sheng… I don’t know if Uncle knows that you have your difficulties.”

So if you ask me if Uncle hates you, I don’t know.

Madam Tan stood up indifferently. “Go back. Don’t come again in the future. Sheng’er and I have nothing to do with the Helian family anymore. Take care.”

“Aunt!” Yu Wan called out to her.

Madam Tan turned around and looked at her. “For yourself and for the Helian family, pretend that you didn’t come today. There are some things you can’t investigate. There are some people you can’t defeat.”
