527 The Truth is Revealed (2)
Yu Wan knew that he was very surprised, and she also knew that he could not accept this fact for the time being. However, at this point, there was no need to hide it. “Second Old Master personally admitted it in front of Yan Jiuchao.”
Helian Beiming looked at Yan Jiuchao blankly.
Yan Jiuchao said expressionlessly, “He did say that.”
Helian Beiming was speechless.
!!
Madam Li resisted stubbornly. “You, you’re all lying! You joined forces to slander the old master! You’re so vicious!”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “Why should we slander him? What’s the benefit of slandering him? The Second Master of the East Manor has already returned. He’s the legitimate heir of the Helian family. We can win by lying down without doing anything. Why should we spend so much effort to frame the Second Master and get ourselves into trouble?”
This was the truth. It was reasonable to say that Helian Chao would not hesitate to destroy the West Manor for the position of heir. However, Helian Beiyu was born into the genealogy. He was also Helian Beiming’s biological younger brother. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as he lived peacefully, the inheritance would definitely belong to him. There was no need for the East Manor to attack the West Manor at all.
Yu Wan slowly walked up to Madam Li. “If you still refuse to give up, I can only remind you again. Framing him? Is he worthy?”
This time, it was Madam Li’s turn to be mute.
Intellectually, Madam Li had already accepted Yu Wan’s words, but she did not want to give in emotionally. She had had the dream of being the matriarch for so many years. How could it be shattered in an instant?
Yu Wan did not give her time to catch her breath. She said word by word, “Also, I’m afraid the evil things that Second Old Master has done are not as simple as a.s.sa.s.sinating the Grand General and abducting the Second Madam. Back then, Second Master fell off the cliff, the Grand General’s cultivation deviation, and the matter of Eldest Madam and Helian Sheng are also related to Second Old Master!”
“You… you…” Madam Li fell back in anger!
The three Helian brothers were completely stunned by this scene. What did this woman say? So many disgraceful things were done by their grandfather? That was impossible! They did not believe that their grandfather would be such a person!
Helian Beiming looked at the Second Old Master who was twitching on the bed and said calmly, “Second Uncle, I want you to say something. Did you do those things?”
Of course, the Second Old Master could not answer him, but the Second Old Master’s anxious gaze was enough to make Helian Beiming’s heart sink.
Helian Beiming gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly. “Second Uncle, sorry.”
That night, Helian Beiming began to investigate the West Manor thoroughly. The first to bear the brunt was the Second Old Master. His study, his warehouse, his sacrificial soldiers, and even who he had dealings with were all dug out by Helian Beiming’s guards and spies.
If one didn’t want others to know, they shouldn’t have done it. In the past, he didn’t expose himself because he didn’t suspect him. Once he got serious, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the investigation.
The first to not be able to withstand a beating was the butler of the West Manor.
The butler had followed the Second Master for many years, and the entire family was in his hands. Therefore, the Second Master was not worried that he would betray him. However, when Helian Beiming locked the butler’s family in the dungeon of the East Manor, the butler panicked.
At this moment, he understood that it was not that Helian Beiming could not deal with them, but that he had never thought of dealing with them.
“I’ll confess… I’ll confess… Please let my family go…” The butler kowtowed desperately in the dungeon.
Yu Gang threatened, “You’re not qualified to negotiate. Whether I let you go depends on my mood. If you tell me, I might not let you go, but if you don’t tell me, I’ll kill them right now!”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!” The butler confessed to helping the wicked. “Thirty-five years ago, Old Madam and Second Master’s carriage was indeed secretly tampered with by Second Master. Originally, he hoped that the mother and son would fall to their deaths and fall off the cliff. Who knew that Old Madam would survive? Second Master was worried that the child would not die from the fall and sent a sacrificial soldier to deal with the aftermath. This was probably something that Second Master did not expect himself. That sacrificial soldier probably did not kill Second Master and found a dead baby to replace him.”
Helian Beiming was sitting in another room. The butler could not see him, but he could see the butler. After hearing the butler’s words, his aura turned cold.
“Also, Second Old Master secretly received a lot of bribes and hid them in a mountain. I’ve never been to that mountain, but I have the details of the bribes!”
