Chapter 631: Chapter 571, Everyone is Waiting_1
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai’s sudden return home did not make the Yan Family feel anything unusual. The only difference was that everyone felt the aura around the two had grown stronger, making them seem even more imposing and dazzling.
Yan Zhigao looked at his youngest son and nephew with a face full of contentment, thinking to himself that having been on the battlefield and witnessed grand scenes and formations indeed made a difference. Look at the pair, a new confidence and ease now present in the space between their brows, an invigorating spirit in their eyes that simply could not be overlooked.
Yan Wenxiu also felt happy for the accomplishments of his two younger brothers. As the eldest son of the Yan Family, his father had not kept him in the dark about his brothers’ journey to the Northern Frontier. Both had made significant contributions there, and while he was pleased, he also felt the burden on his shoulders lightening considerably.
It was really good; in the future, he would not be the only one upholding the Yan Family alone.
Everyone in the Yan Family was very pleased, except the faces of the second branch didn’t look quite natural.
There was no helping it. Yan Wenxiu, Yan Wenjie, Yan Wentao, and Yan Wenkai weren’t that different in age, but now as the other three grew increasingly accomplished, it only made Yan Wenjie of the second branch seem more and more mediocre.
Moreover, with the recent difficulties in matchmaking for Yan Wenjie, it would be odd if Yan Zhiyuan and the Sun Family could feel happy.
After chatting and laughing with Yan Wentao and Yan Wenjie for a while, the conversation shifted to the banquet hosted by the Jiang Family, and the previously lively atmosphere became slightly stagnant.
Upon hearing that her granddaughter was put in a difficult position by a nanny from the palace at the banquet, the Old Madam immediately addressed Madam Li, saying, “In the future, let’s attend fewer banquets hosted by the Jiang and Guo Families. They are of high status, and we cannot afford to provoke them, so let’s just stay away.”
Madam Li nodded in agreement. After today’s events, she was equally sick of the Jiang Family. Actually, it was Madam Jiang who had stirred up the trouble, shifting the public’s attention onto their family and setting the stage for what followed.
The others in the room cast their glances towards Daohua.
Yan Zhigao moved his lips, but eventually remained silent.
Although he thought it was not good for a lady to be too assertive in public, this time, that nanny Jia really had gone too far. If the girl was a bit feisty, so be it; it was better than being bullied.
This time, even the normally critical Sun Family didn’t say much.
After witnessing Daohua force the palace nanny to kneel and apologize publicly without hesitation today, she no longer wished to provoke her niece.
Unaware of the changes in everyone’s expressions around her, Daohua sat beside the Old Madam, her gaze sweeping back and forth between her third and fourth brothers. After a good while, she finally understood what was amiss—although her third brother seemed to be in good spirits, there was a barely visible trace of sickness between his brows.
At first, she thought their tiredness resulted from the continuous traveling over these two months, but a closer look told her otherwise.
Her third brother was injured!
With this thought, Daohua immediately smiled and said, “Grandmother, third brother and fourth brother have just returned from their military service. They must be tired. Why not let them go back and rest first?”
The Old Madam immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, go and rest. Look at you two; you’ve both lost so much weight. You must stay at home longer this time and recuperate properly.”
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao promptly replied, “We will do as Grandmother says.”
Soon after, they left the Old Madam’s room.

Today, upon their return, they learned that Advisor Jiang had been seeking them. Guessing his intentions, they quickly changed their clothes, and had their father (great-uncle) take them to the Jiang Family.
The intense strain of the last two and a half months had worn them out completely; they needed to go back and properly recover.
“Third brother, fourth brother!”
Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they saw Daohua following them out.
As soon as she got close, she reached out to grab Yan Wentao’s hand and check his pulse.
“Daohua, what are you doing?” Yan Wentao’s eyes dodged a little, trying to withdraw his hand; but alas, a stern glance from Daohua stopped him, and he could only quickly look to Yan Wenkai for help.
Yan Wenkai shrugged, giving him a ‘cannot do anything about it’ look.
He had said before that they couldn’t hide third brother’s poisoning from big sister for long. Still, he hadn’t expected her to find out this quickly.
After a while, Daohua finished taking the pulse. She looked at Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai then, without saying a word, headed straight for Yan Wentao’s quarters.
Watching Daohua walk ahead, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao exchanged a helpless glance and silently followed.
