Chapter 271: Hypocrisy
When they heard that Yu Wushang was coming, everyone's smiles disappeared instantly. They really didn't know why he came to join in the fun when they were having such a happy time.
However, he couldn't reveal his true identity yet, so the old sect leader could only ask someone to invite him in.
"Go and ask him to come in!"
The old sect leader gave the order, and the disciples who came in to answer him went to do as he was told.
After a while, Yu Wushang walked in wearing a plain elder's uniform.
When he came in, he looked around and found that everyone who should be there was there, but only Sun Beidou was missing. At this time, he was not with the old master. Where did he go?
Yu Wushang did not have time to think about so many things on the spot, but walked straight to the old master's bed and bowed with his fists clasped.
He didn't know yet that everyone had already discovered the cause of the old master's poisoning and had now sent Doctor Sun to look for him.
"Master, I heard that you are feeling better, so I came to see you specially."
Yu Wushang always called him "Master" in front of others and never called him "adoptive father". He only called him that in private when he was a child, and for some unknown reason, he never called him that again.
He took a look at the old sect leader's condition and found that he had really improved a lot. At least the first two times he saw him, although he was conscious, he looked pale and weak. This time, his complexion actually looked much better.
Could it be that they have found a way to curb the toxicity?
That shouldn't be the case. He did this in a very secretive way. Most people wouldn't imagine it was so profound.
"Well, I'm much better. Thank you for your concern." The old sect leader didn't want to see him, so he spoke with his eyes closed and his tone light.
"You worked so hard to raise me, how could I not miss you? Seeing that you are much better, I feel much more at peace."
Yu Wushang said these words as if no one was around. It was so hypocritical.
I don't know where he got such a thick skin from. He could actually say these words without changing his expression or heartbeat. Maybe this is the highest level of shamelessness.
Forgive Su Wan for not being able to help but secretly curl her lips, almost rolling her eyes.
The old sect leader just nodded and didn't reply. Who knew that Su Wan's little action was actually seen by Yu Wushang? He narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wan with a smile:
"It seems that my future niece-in-law doesn't like me as her uncle very much?"
Su Wan was inexplicably cueed and she almost didn't react, but she just looked at Yu Wushang and smiled. The smile seemed far-fetched, and not saying anything meant she agreed.
She complained in her heart, you are so awesome that you come here to act. Is your daily life too boring, so you want to find a side job?
He didn't expect that Su Wan didn't respond to him, and the others also didn't say anything, standing aside as if they didn't see him. The old sect leader was also unwilling to even look at him.
It's always like this, always ignoring him and looking down on him. Yu Wushang bit his back teeth and almost couldn't hold back his micro-expression.
However, he quickly changed the subject:
"Master, I heard you wanted to watch a play? But can your body currently support such exertion?"
He already knew that Jiang Yu had invited several opera troupes. Being a little curious about what tricks Jiang Yu was up to, he came to ask him some questions.
The old sect leader actually didn't know about this, so he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting at the end of the bed. Jiang Yu blinked, signaling him to turn a blind eye.
The old sect leader immediately understood, so he looked at Yu Wushang:
"I've been lying in bed for too long lately, and I'm almost getting moldy. I figured it's because Fengyue Villa hasn't been bustling for a while, and I haven't listened to opera in a while. In my current state, I can't run around, so I asked Jiang Yu to invite an opera troupe to the mountain. Whenever I want to listen to music, they can perform for me anytime, and it'll be lively and get rid of the bad luck."
He is indeed my grandfather. He doesn’t even need to review the script in advance. He can accurately express what Jiang Yu wants to say.
The cooperation was so perfect that Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile.
When Yu Wushang saw that the old man said the same thing, he still had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
"Master, you are not feeling well, you should rest more!"
Although no one knows what Jiang Yu is planning, the man surnamed Yu does a good job of pretending. If you don't know him, you might think he really cares about the old sect leader. He plays the role of a filial son very well.
"I'm so old and have worked hard all my life, and now you won't even let me listen to a play? I know my own body, so don't worry about it." The old sect leader was a little impatient and waved his hand.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can all leave. Ah Yu can stay. Su girl, you've been guarding here for most of the day. Your filial grandfather knows how hard you've worked. Go back and rest!"
When it was the old sect leader's turn to talk to Su Wan, his tone was like he was coaxing a child.
The more he looked at this girl, the happier he became.
"Then grandpa, you take a rest first. I will come over later to have dinner with you." Su Wan smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples. Anyone who saw her would be infected and full of energy.
"Okay, go ahead. Just tell the kitchen what you want to eat. Fengyue Villa is located on the water, so we have plenty of fresh river food."
"Thank you, grandpa, for your concern!" Su Wan stood up and bowed to him.
Looking at this happy scene, Yu Wushang smiled self-deprecatingly, with contempt flashing from the corner of his eyes, but it was fleeting and no one noticed.
The old sect leader started to drive everyone away, and everyone left the sect leader's room one after another.
Su Mu didn't leave, but went to the cubicle to get his medicine.
When Yu Wushang left, he discovered that one essential item was missing from the room, which was the cold sandalwood incense that was usually lit for twelve hours.
The furniture in the room was brand new, the windows were slightly opened, and now there was no sandalwood at all.
He couldn't help but wonder how they came to suspect this?
Unable to resist his curiosity, he wanted to confirm it. After Su Wan and the others left, he followed them slowly.
There was a disciple sweeping the courtyard, so he walked up to him and asked casually:
"Why is there no incense burning in the old master's room?"
The disciples who often go to Fengyue Pavilion know that the old master likes to light sandalwood, so they naturally know what he is asking.
However, Jiang Yu had already said hello, and when someone asked, he said:
"The sandalwood was found to be poisonous, so they didn't dare give it to the old master. The young master had them evacuated."
"Poisonous? What kind of poison is it? Is it serious?" Yu Wushang didn't understand. This sandalwood was just a poison initiator, how could it be poisonous?
"Elder Yu, I don't know what kind of poison it is. I only know that it is harmful to the master. It was determined by Dr. Sun himself." The young disciple told him everything he knew.
Yu Wushang frowned, unable to understand. Could it be that besides him, there was someone else who wanted the old man to die?
"Are you sure you heard it right? There is poison in the sandalwood?" He confirmed again worriedly.
