Chapter 354: Fierce Little Fatties, Return to the Village (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, the imperial physicians of the Great Zhou Dynasty would try their best to exaggerate Yu Wan’s contributions. Not long after Yu Wan left, the imperial physician arrived. Even if she did not help, he could still be saved. However, he would be abnormally weak and would have to lie in bed for ten to fifteen days before he could get out of bed.
Thinking about it this way, she did have a lot of credit.
Yu Wan alighted. The three fat children stuck their heads out of the curtain and looked fiercely at Wan Feng.
Wan Feng was dumbfounded by the three little fellows’ gazes.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan followed his gaze and turned around. The three little fatties’ expressions changed in a second. Their expressions were cute!
Yu Wan was slapped by their cuteness again. She wished she could not go out anymore and just hug the three little fellows and kiss them.
When Yu Wan turned to talk to Wan Feng, the little fatties became fierce again!
Wan Feng was stunned by the three little fat fellows. Fortunately, the State Preceptor got out of the carriage. Wan Feng hurriedly turned around and helped him. “Master.”
Yu Wan’s gaze landed on the State Preceptor.
Wait, wasn’t this the elder she had met outside the ornamental garden a few days ago? He had a sage-like temperament. So he was the State Preceptor of Nanzhao. He actually came to thank her personally? How long has it been? Why didn’t he come earlier?
The State Preceptor cupped his hands at Yu Wan in accordance with the Great Zhou’s etiquette.
Yu Wan bowed slightly in return.
The Great Zhou and Nanzhao’s languages were similar. Other than their accents, there were not many obstacles in communication.
The State Preceptor asked Wan Feng to move the thank you gift down and said to Yu Wan, “Thank you for saving him, Princely Heir Consort.”
“You’re too polite, State Preceptor.” Yu Wan nodded and said to the State Preceptor, “You have come to visit. Logically speaking, I should invite you into the manor for a chat, but as you can see, I was about to leave, and the Princely Heir isn’t around.”
In other words, you came at the wrong time.
Wan Feng cleared his throat awkwardly. He knew that they shouldn’t have chosen this time to visit. The Great Zhou valued etiquette more than Nanzhao. He heard that they had to send a visiting card before they came, but he couldn’t stop his master from coming!
The State Preceptor said, “It’s fine. I’m just here to send the thank you gift.”
Yu Wan did not refuse and nodded at Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai walked forward to take the thank you gift from Wan Feng’s hand, but suddenly, a bead fell out of Wan Feng’s sleeve and happened to land on Yu Wan’s shoe.
It was inconvenient for men to touch this place, and the maidservant was not around, so Yu Wan bent down to pick it up. It was a bead the size of a baby’s fist. It was originally white, but the moment Yu Wan held it, it lit up slightly.
Wan Feng looked at the bead in a daze and then at his sleeve.
“Here.” Yu Wan returned the bead to Wan Feng.
“Oh… Thank-thank you.” Wan Feng took the bead in confusion and put it into his sleeve.
The breeze lifted Yu Wan’s black hair. Her black hair was like satin, and under the sunlight, it was unbelievably soft and bright.
Wan Feng’s throat moved.
Jiang Hai kept his eyes lowered.
The State Preceptor bade farewell and boarded the carriage with the stunned Wan Feng.
Yu Wan asked Jiang Hai to pass the thank you gift to the guard on duty before getting into the carriage back to the village.
“Master.” After the carriage turned into the endless street, Wan Feng took out the bead from his sleeve. “Why do I have a bead on me? What bead is this? I saw it light up just now. Why doesn’t it light up in my hand?”
The State Preceptor said, “This is a Gu bead. Only the Gu King can make it shine.”
“Gu-Gu King?” Wan Feng thought that this bead was shining in Yu Wan’s hand. His eyes widened. “She has the Gu King in her hands? Master, did you deliberately put the bead on me to test her? Why did you do that?”
The State Preceptor said nothing.
Countless doubts flashed across Wan Feng’s mind, and an idea flashed across his mind. “Wait, Master, don’t tell me… you suspect that the holy artifact of Nanzhao is in her hands?”
The State Preceptor did not confirm or deny it. He only calmly took out a folded handkerchief and slowly opened it, revealing a long strand of hair.
Wan Feng widened his eyes. “This… this can’t be her hair, right?”
Master, how did you get it?!
If the holy artifact was really in Yu Wan’s hands, her hair would also be tainted by the aura of the holy artifact. The State Preceptor had his own ways to determine if the Gu King in her hands was what they were looking for.
The carriage drove steadily on the road. The three little fat lads fell asleep the moment they got into the carriage, and it almost became a pattern.
Jiang Hai confirmed that the three little fellows had fallen asleep. As he drove the carriage, he whispered to Yu Wan, “Madam, there’s something wrong with that bead.”
