As soon as Brother Han spoke, Sister-in-law Han looked up at the man with disbelief in her eyes. Before she could even ask him a question, Brother Han spoke to her.
"Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here. Don't let me see you again, you disgusting thing..." he said, spitting on her.
"My lord, please, please don't send me away! Please, please don't send me away! Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding can't live without his mother..." she said, as she stepped forward to grab Han's clothes. But before her hand could even touch the hem of Han's clothes, Han kicked her away.
"You shameless slut, get the hell out of here, or I'll find you a new mother for Xiao Ding..."
In Kyoto, at the Yun family home, just as Old Madam Yun put down her chopsticks, a maid brought her some tea to rinse her mouth. Old Madam Yun took a small sip, then spat it into a spittoon held by another maid. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief before asking a question.
"That brat hasn't come to pay his respects to this old woman for two days. I'll ask him later if he's left the capital again..."
Hearing the old lady's words, the nanny beside her couldn't help but smile and say something.
"That's why I say, our young master is closest to you. You two are truly in sync. Just now, before you even got up, the young master sent someone to tell you that he had something to do and had to go out of the capital. He might not be back for a while and asked this old servant to take good care of you. This old servant said he would tell you after you finished eating. Before I could even open my mouth, you asked..."
"Hmph, at least that brat has some conscience. But it's almost the end of the year, and he's still running around. He's a real worry..." Although he said this, there was a slight smile on his lips.
It turned out that Yun Xiao suspected that Manager Yun's illness was fake and that he might have already left the capital. As for where he went, he thought of the strange woman in the mountains and his heart began to race.
So, under the pretext of visiting, he went to Manager Wang's house with Steward Liu. When they arrived, they found that Manager Wang was not home. Therefore, Yun Xiao did not hesitate and set off directly for Ping'an Town.
Brother Han glanced at the paper package that had been handed to him earlier, his eyes flickering. But remembering the hundred taels of silver promised by the person opposite him, he quickly accepted it. That matchmaker, Xia, had already found him a girl, and he had heard that the girl was quite beautiful.
A few days later, looking at the person standing at the door, Han Yiyi frowned and asked impatiently.
"What are you doing here again...?"
When Brother Han saw Han Yiyi speak, he quickly put on a pained expression and even faked a few tears.
“Little sister, I know we were wrong last time, but it was because Mother didn’t want to see you struggling to raise the child alone. But you not only didn’t understand her, you also kicked us out. As a result, Mother fell ill after returning from here and is now dying. She wants to see you one last time before she passes away. Could you go and see her…”
When Han Yi heard her brother mention the incident from last time as if it were for her own good, she thought to herself that this man was hopeless. So she wanted to close the door, but when she heard that her mother was dying and wanted to see her one last time, she couldn't help but frown.
Han Yi stared intently at her elder brother, trying to discern any signs of lying on his face. Given the previous actions of the Han family, Han Yi was truly unsure whether this was yet another scheme devised by them.
However, Brother Han's face was full of sorrow at this moment. Seeing Han Yiyi looking at him like this, he quickly spoke up.
“Little sister, do you think I’m lying? That’s our mother. How could I risk her life to deceive you? Besides, she raised you from childhood and went through so much trouble to marry you off to a scholar. Are you really not even willing to see her one last time? You have no conscience at all…”
Han Yiyi looked at the person opposite her, who was accusing her with tears streaming down her face, and her brows furrowed even more.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to go to Han Family Village with Brother Han. After all, that was the original owner's mother, and if it really was the last time he saw her, he would have done what he should do.
However, to prevent any accidents, she did not plan to take Zihui and Zicheng with her. Instead, she went alone, thinking that if they really had any bad intentions, she could get away. After all, she had a stun gun and could just knock them all out one by one.
Han Yi left the two children at Aunt Zhang's house to look after them, and then went to Han Family Village with his older brother.
Aunt Zhang was unaware of what the Han family had done last time. When she heard Han Yiyi say that her mother was critically ill, she offered a few words of comfort.
Meanwhile, inside the Yunlai Restaurant, Manager Tong was startled by the two people who suddenly appeared at the door. He couldn't understand why these two had come here so close to the end of the year.
As soon as Yun Xiao entered, he saw Manager Tong and hurriedly spoke.
"Have you seen Manager Wang recently? Or has anything unusual happened in the restaurant lately? Also, have you seen Aunt Han or Madam Han recently?"
Shopkeeper Tong was somewhat taken aback by Yun Xiao's barrage of questions, but seeing his serious expression, he quickly replied.
"That Han, Han the young lady, I didn't see her today because you pulled over the dried chilies she was carrying. And because it's almost the end of the year, and we were worried about snow making the roads difficult, she brought over several extra jars of pickled peppers last time.
"Oh, and what about Manager Wang? Isn't he in Kyoto? When did he come to Ping'an Town? I haven't seen him..."
"What's unusual? Has anything unusual happened at the restaurant lately...?"
Seeing that Manager Tong still looked cold, Manager Liu, who was standing nearby, quickly asked him what was wrong.
One moment it's Manager Wang, the next it's Han Yiyi, and then it's something else entirely. Thinking of this, Manager Tong's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly spoke up.
“Yes, yes, there’s something unusual…” He thought to himself, that person used to come and pack up food from the restaurant frequently, and the dishes he packed each time seemed to be quite particular. He found it strange at the time, but then that person stopped coming, and he put his doubts aside. Now it seems that he really is not simple.
So he hurriedly told the two of them about how someone had been frequently packing up food from the restaurant, and how each time the food was cooked with chili peppers, as if that person wanted to study their dishes.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao and Steward Liu exchanged a glance, both with worry in their eyes. Without even having time to eat, they got back into the carriage, intending to head towards Zhushan Village.
Seeing this, Manager Tong hurriedly got into the carriage as well.
