Later, she escaped back, only to find that Xuanyuan Heng had already taken Feng Ran by his side.
Of course, she didn't go to Xuanyuan Heng. She knew that if she appeared now, Xuanyuan Heng would definitely investigate. Therefore, she hid, thinking that with time, she would find a suitable opportunity to appear here.
Xuanyuan Heng returned to his mansion and, upon seeing the unconscious Feng Ran, immediately summoned people to help. However, the person said that to save Feng Ran, a suitable person was needed.
Xuanyuan Heng ordered An Ying and Bei Chen Ye to search.
However, none of the people they found were suitable.
Xuanyuan Heng felt somewhat powerless.
Then he remembered Yu Wan Yan's existence. He had spent a lot of effort raising Yu Wan Yan back then, so Yu Wan Yan should be the most suitable.
If she was indeed suitable, then one life of Yu Wan Yan exchanged for Feng Ran's life would be very good.
Anyway, wasn't Yu Wan Yan supposed to have died long ago?
Yu Wan Yan had been waiting for an opportunity, but she waited and waited, and the opportunity never came.
She also heard that Feng Ran was dying. Xuanyuan Heng was searching everywhere for someone to treat Feng Ran.
She thought that she couldn't hold back anymore, and there was no need to hold back.
She had to appear immediately. She wanted to break Xuanyuan Heng's heart. She wanted to disrupt Feng Ran's chance of survival.
As long as Feng Ran was gone, the position of consort would belong to her. And now Xuanyuan Heng was trying his best to save Feng Ran, which was something she absolutely could not allow.
"Bei Chen Ye, bring that person here," Xuanyuan Heng said coldly, his indifference reaching its extreme.
Bei Chen Ye was slightly startled, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
As soon as Bei Chen Ye stood outside the mansion, he was surprised to see Yu Wan Yan. However, he quickly invited her in.
Yu Wan Yan was in a very happy mood at this time, thinking that she would soon see Xuanyuan Heng. How could she think of anything else?
In fact, she never stopped to think why Bei Chen Ye showed no surprise upon seeing her.
He remained as usual.
Didn't she find that unusual?
However, in Bei Chen Ye's opinion, it was better not to ask. Anyway, he only had to bring the person over; the rest was not his concern.
Bei Chen Ye led Yu Wan Yan, and as Yu Wan Yan was about to head towards Xuanyuan Heng's room, Bei Chen Ye called out to her, "Miss Yu, this way." He pointed towards where Feng Ran was staying.
Yu Wan Yan looked at Bei Chen Ye with confusion, seemingly unable to understand why she was being asked to go there first.
She looked at herself. Her current attire was acceptable. But if she were to meet Xuanyuan Heng, it was not elegant or formal enough.
Perhaps Bei Chen Ye wanted her to go there to dress up properly.
Thinking of this, a smile spread across Yu Wan Yan's face.
Yu Wan Yan pushed the door open. She looked at the room and saw that it seemed to be occupied. She continued to look around. In her heart, she told herself that no one should be living here; she must be overthinking.
However, as she walked further inside, she saw Feng Ran lying on the bed. And the person sitting by the bed, holding Feng Ran's hand, was Xuanyuan Heng.
Seeing Xuanyuan Heng holding Feng Ran's hand so tightly, even though she had appeared, Xuanyuan Heng's gaze never left Feng Ran, never landing on her.
She was extremely unwilling. Her heart was screaming.
But she knew there was nothing she could do.
"Xuanyuan, I... I'm back," Yu Wan Yan's eyes were filled with malice as she looked fiercely at Feng Ran, yet she choked back tears as she spoke to Xuanyuan Heng.
Yu Wan Yan concealed herself very well.
Xuanyuan Heng did not exchange pleasantries with Yu Wan Yan. Instead, still holding Feng Ran's hand, he said calmly, "Feng Ran may not have long to live. Her condition is worsening."
"If a cure is not found, her life will be lost."
Yu Wan Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement, and her voice even became a little loud. "Are you telling the truth? Feng Ran, is she really dying?"
"Yes, she is dying." How could Xuanyuan Heng not see Yu Wan Yan's joy?
However, he had more to say.
Xuanyuan Heng stood up and looked coldly at Yu Wan Yan.
Seeing Xuanyuan Heng's gaze on her, Yu Wan Yan was overjoyed. Finally, Xuanyuan Heng had noticed her existence. For her, it was a good thing.
Her face was full of smiles, even thinking about how to best present herself.
As she thought this, she began to fidget.
But what Xuanyuan Heng said next sent her directly to hell.
"I recall that I raised you as a living medicine."
"Now you are the only one who can save Feng Ran."
Yu Wan Yan's smile instantly vanished. She looked at Xuanyuan Heng in disbelief, suspecting she had misheard.
If she hadn't misheard.
How could such a thing happen?
Yu Wan Yan stepped forward, trying to grab Xuanyuan Heng's hand, but he dodged her directly. She fell to the ground.
Yu Wan Yan felt pain all over her body from the fall. At this moment, she finally understood what had happened.
Her gaze fell entirely on Xuanyuan Heng, and she questioned him incredulously, "Why? Why?"
"Xuanyuan, from the moment you first saw me, you were never surprised that I was still alive."
"Could it be..." A bad premonition arose in Yu Wan Yan's heart.
Did he know everything?
No, it was impossible. She had hidden so well, how could it be possible?
Xuanyuan Heng couldn't possibly know.
"You... you didn't know I was alive, you... you..."
At this moment, Yu Wan Yan was somewhat self-deceiving.
Her appearance made one want to laugh.
"No, I knew from the very beginning. I just didn't say anything."
"Also, I don't keep useless people around me."
"Do you know why I knew you were alive but didn't expose you?"
Yu Wan Yan shook her head. "No."
"I kept you alive for Feng Ran."
"I thought that if Feng Ran were ever in mortal danger, your blood could save her. Naturally, I had to raise you well."
"Therefore, I let you live your life freely."
"By the way, the person who helped you was one of my people."
Yu Wan Yan laughed, a loud, almost desolate laugh.
