Chapter 297 Panic

Han Zimo pleaded, "Madam, please don't believe the rumors out there. They are all made up by people with ulterior motives and have no basis in fact."

"Some people must be jealous of me, so they made up this nonsense..."

Zhu Yufang snorted coldly, her expression becoming incredibly ugly. She didn't expect that this shameless man would still not admit his fault at this point.

"You still want to trick me at this point? Don't even think about it!"

"The rumor was very convincing, telling everyone clearly that the concubine's name was Bai Anru, the son was named Han Chaolin, and the daughter was named Han Zhenzhu."

"If you refuse to admit it, can we go to No. 18 Zhonglu Lane and see if they live there?"

Han Zimo only felt a flash before his eyes and almost fainted.

He didn't expect that the news outside would spread so detailed now, so that everyone would know about it.

The memorial from the censor tomorrow will surely make him bleed.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely annoyed and angry, and a wave of panic surged in his heart.

Which bastard exposed his past?

It will definitely not be possible to hide it anymore.

Han Zimo quickly explained with a smile, "Madam, don't be angry. Things are really not what you think. I can explain it to you clearly..."

"An explanation? Who needs that? You should think carefully about your official reputation and the censor's impeachment!"

Han Zimo's face was a mixture of black and red, looking extremely ugly.

He stared at Zhu Yufang, his eyes almost spitting fire.

He suppressed the rage in his chest and softened his tone.

He coaxed her gently, "In my heart, my wife is the most important. Besides, we already have five smart and clever children, so our affection is naturally extraordinary."

"That woman is just an insignificant person who has no influence on our lives at all."

"I was accidentally attacked by someone, and I never thought of bringing them back home. That's why I had no choice but to place her outside and raise her like a kitten or puppy."

"For so many years, she has always been content with her duties and not overly greedy. That's why I kept them until now."

"Otherwise, I would have gotten rid of them long before Madam knew."

Zhu Yufang is already at this age, how could she be easily fooled by a few nice words?

She had long passed the age of innocence and naiveté in her youth, where a few sweet words could fool her into not knowing east from west.

Zhu Yufang still glared at Han Zimo, refusing to give in at all.

"Unless you can drive the mother and her two children out of the capital and never contact them again, I won't believe a single word of your sweet talk."

Han Zimo had no choice but to temporarily stabilize the situation and pretended to agree.

"Okay, I'll send someone to make arrangements right away. They'll be kept away for the next few days. They won't get in your way. That way, you won't make trouble again, right?"

Zhu Yufang gave him a cold look.

"Wait until you've achieved it before you tell me. It's too early to tell me now. It's just empty talk. It can only fool ignorant children."

Han Chaoqing saw that his parents had finally calmed down, and then he spoke slowly, "Father, don't you think it's too coincidental? In one day, our second branch had accidents one after another..."

This sentence woke Han Zimo and Zhu Yufang up. They felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads, and they became much more sober in an instant.

Only then did I feel that something was indeed fishy.

Han Zimo looked at Han Chaoqing and asked suspiciously, "Do you think someone is deliberately targeting our second branch?"

"Yes, and I feel that it is very likely that they are from the first wife. As soon as they came back, our second wife was hit by misfortunes one after another. They must be involved."

"So, I just asked you, did the Second House offend the First House, or did something unforgivable, which made them want to retaliate so cruelly..."

After hearing this, Zhu Yufang trembled her lips and murmured softly, "Could it be that they know everything about Han Yunyan and Han Yunxi?"

Yesterday, Hua Xuewei only mentioned that they had defrauded money under the name of Han Yunxi, and did not mention anything else. She always thought that she had gotten away with it.

As for Han Yunyan, she has already ordered people to go to the farm and kill Li Ma's family. What happened ten years ago will have no evidence, so it shouldn't be discovered, right?

Zhu Yufang racked her brains to recall a series of recent events.

But the more panicked I became, the more confused I became. My head was like a mess, a mess...

In the end, Zhu Yufang had no choice but to honestly confess everything that had happened recently and all her suspicions.

After Han Chaoqing heard what happened, his head suddenly started buzzing.

He didn't expect that his parents had done so many evil things behind his back.

It’s obvious that my uncle and father are brothers!

Why do you want to scheme against the eldest wife like this?

Han Chaoqing didn't understand why, so he just expressed his doubts directly.

"Father, you and uncle are brothers, why do you have to plot against their children?"

"Great room, can't we also follow and take over the light?"

Han Zimo snorted coldly.

But there was no direct answer.

But it was his attitude that made Han Chaoqing feel even more that something was wrong.

Perhaps, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

My parents did these things, and only my aunt knew about it, but they suffered such terrible revenge.

If my uncle knew about these things, the consequences would be even more serious.

He suddenly felt like the sky was about to fall.

The road ahead is bleak.

He quickly persuaded her kindly, "Mother, you have taken so many good things from the eldest wife, you should return them as soon as possible!"

"This can repair the relationship. Otherwise, if the uncle gets angry, our second branch will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the whole family will be doomed..."

After saying that, he handed over the key to his small warehouse.

"Hurry up and pay what you owe! If this gets out of hand, it won't do our second house any good."

"Besides, my second brother is still under my uncle's control. If you're not afraid that he'll be torn to pieces and never come back, then listen to my advice!"

Han Zimo and Zhu Yufang were both a little flustered at this time.

When I think of my second son, I am really afraid that something might happen to him.

Han Zimo felt extremely guilty when he thought about the many treasures he had with his concubine.

He stammered to Zhu Yufang, "Then quickly arrange for someone to dig out the buried treasure. I'll go to the west of the city to find the miracle doctor there and see if he can heal Yuan'er's leg!"

After saying this, he fled in panic.

Zhu Yufang looked at his running figure, snorted coldly, and her eyes became even colder and more ruthless.

Then he winked at a little maid behind him.

The maid quickly followed.
