"Ha ha..."
Old Man Han walked out of the room with a smile on his face. He walked very slowly and said, "Huaying, you are a person who uses a silver needle, not an embroidery needle."
Yun Huaying smiled faintly and walked over to support him: "Grandpa Han, are you feeling better today?"
"I'm feeling better now. I'll be fine after two days at home."
Han Zheng had gotten up early and brought a stool over. Old Man Han also greeted her as a guest: "Huaying, sit down."
"Thank you." Yun Huaying thanked him and helped him sit down before giving him the things she brought: "I brought you some fruit candies."
"Grandpa Han will accept it today. Don't bring anything next time you come. Just come and play anytime."
She had come over last night and only sat for a short while before leaving. Today was a formal visit, so she had to follow all the necessary etiquette. Yun Huaying smiled and nodded in response, then asked, "I heard earlier that Grandma Han was coming over. When will she arrive?"
"It should be in these two days. I had originally planned to let Zhengzi go and pick her up, but my other grandson, Han Zhe, my eldest grandson, is on vacation and he happened to be going home to visit his relatives, so I asked him to bring their grandmother over." Old Man Han didn't say it, but he was actually looking forward to it in his heart.
Han Zheng made a cup of tea for Yun Huaying and took some snacks from his grandfather's cabinet, stuffing them all into her hands. "Huaying, these pastries and fried fruits were sent by my mother from Jinling. Try them and see if you like them."
"I'll just try the taste, and leave the rest for Grandpa Han." Yun Huaying only took one and returned the others to him.
"Huaying, you eat. I don't like snacks. I only eat something to fill my stomach when I'm hungry after work."
Mr. Han was peeling the oranges she had brought him, and he spoke with a kind smile: "Compared to these cakes, I prefer eating fresh oranges. They taste sour and sweet, and they make me feel refreshed all over."
Yun Huaying's eyes moved slightly. There are some differences between the oranges produced in the space and the oranges outside. You can't tell the difference if you don't taste it carefully, but as you put it in your mouth, the spiritual energy in the pulp is very good for the body.
"I bought it on the black market today. If you like it, I'll bring you some next time I see it." Yun Huaying said with a faint smile.
After hearing his grandson talk about taking her to the black market, Old Man Han kindly reminded her, "I heard from Zhengzi that the black market there is full of people and chaos. You should try not to go there alone. If you encounter those vicious people, it will be difficult for you, a woman, to deal with them."
"Okay, I'll try to go less often." Yun Huaying agreed.
When Old Man Han saw her young and beautiful face, he thought of her grandmother. He also knew the purpose of her visit today, so he took the initiative to start a conversation: "Are you here today because you are thinking about the Yun family?"
"Yes, Grandpa and Mom never told me about the Yun family's past before they passed away. My uncle never told me either. I only knew that the Yun family was originally from Kyoto and later moved to Jing County. Now I am sure that Grandpa and Mom's deaths are related to their enemies in Kyoto. I think Grandpa Han should know something, so I would like to ask you to tell me about some of the things that happened back then."
Old Man Han had talked with his grandson last night and guessed she would come looking. He sighed and said, "Huaying, the reason why your grandfather took his children away from Kyoto is not only known to me, but also to the old guys in the circle. The death of your grandfather and mother is probably related to what happened back then."
Yun Huaying narrowed her eyes and said, "Grandpa Han, could you please explain it in detail?"
What happened back then couldn't be explained in a few words. Old Man Han pondered for a moment and asked her, "Did your grandfather and mother tell you about your grandmother?"
"No." Yun Huaying shook her head.
Seeing that she was completely unaware, Mr. Han had no choice but to tell her: "Your grandmother was forced to commit suicide."
"Hmm?" Yun Huaying's pupils suddenly shrank. "Suicide?"
"Like your mother, she also committed suicide. She didn't jump off a cliff, but took poison."
Old Man Han thought of the bright and beautiful woman who had been forced to her death, and felt both pity and regret. "She was so beautiful, so talented, and had a distinguished family background. She shone like the sun in the sky. Some wicked but powerful people had dirty plans for her, using vicious and despicable means to force her into submission. To protect your grandfather, their two children, and her family, she chose to commit suicide by taking poison. She used her life to expose the hypocrisy of others and in return, she bought her family's safety."
This sudden experience was like a sharp blade piercing Yun Huaying's heart, causing her so much pain that she couldn't breathe. Her originally rosy and shiny face instantly lost its color, and her body began to stagger due to excessive stimulation.
"Huaying." Han Zheng quickly reached out to support her arm.
"It's okay." Yun Huaying shook her head stiffly, staring at the old man with her eyes. Her voice suddenly turned cold: "Is the person who forced my grandmother to death still here?"
"Your grandfather was holding your grandmother's body, along with their two young children and evidence, and he reported it to the higher-ups. They quickly issued an order, arranging for the guards to arrest the man for investigation. However, the woman in question was a powerful figure and insisted that the evidence was false. She even turned the tables and accused your grandmother of seducing her husband. However, the higher-ups didn't believe her and directly detained the man for investigation."
"Your grandmother's suicide caused a lot of uproar in the industry at the time. Public opinion was actually biased towards the Yun family. He used all kinds of tricks. Later, it was discovered that he didn't succeed in killing your grandmother, but he did threaten her with the lives of the Yun family and her mother's family."
"At the time, the higher-ups didn't shield him. The verdict, based on the laws of the time, had already been signed and handed down. It wasn't the death penalty, but a 15-year prison sentence. Other penalties were also the most severe."
"Of course, your grandfather was dissatisfied with this verdict and filed an appeal, but in the end the original sentence was upheld."
"Later, the Yun family held a memorial service for your grandmother. All the prominent figures in the circle went to pay their respects. The couple and their children also attended."
"Your grandfather asked him to kneel down and kowtow in repentance before the coffin, but his wife refused to agree, accusing him of feudal superstition. As a result, your grandmother's mother, your great-grandmother, suddenly attacked him in the mourning hall and poured a bottle of poison she had prepared in advance in his face."
Yun Huaying's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Poisoned to death on the spot?"
"No, this poison is the secret poison of your Yun family. Outsiders don't know the specific name."
"My wife and I were both in the mourning hall at the time, and we saw with our own eyes how disfigured his face was from the poison. It wasn't as bad as the sulfuric acid. His skin was purple-red, and the veins in his head were bulging, as if a centipede was drilling into him. He was rolling on the ground in pain."
"Your grandfather said at the time that there was no antidote for this poison, and it wouldn't kill him or affect his lifespan. It would only make him suffer a fate worse than death."
"That's still a good deal for him." Yun Huaying was furious.
