Han Yixian's face also darkened as he said, "Yiping, how could you just rummage through other people's rooms like that? It's outrageous. And this outfit was a gift for Yuhan; take it off and give it back to her right now."
When Han Yiping saw her older brother scolding her, she pouted and said, "Brother, she's just a nanny from the countryside who came to our house to serve us. Why should she live in such a nice room and wear such nice clothes? I want to live in this room. And these clothes were originally yours, what's wrong with me wearing them?"
Han Yixian said in a deep voice, "Shut up. There is no place for you to stay here. You should go back to Kyoto right now. And return the clothes to Yuhan immediately."
Yuan Qiwen said, "Cousin, Yuhan just altered these clothes herself. If you want more clothes, just ask your uncle or second cousin to get you a set."
Han Yiping pouted and said, "Their clothes are all too big and baggy, I can't wear them. This outfit fits me perfectly, so I'll take it. What's the point of a nanny wearing new clothes?"
Also, were all these new clothes in her room bought by our family? Otherwise, where would a village girl like her get the money and cloth coupons to buy new clothes?
Du Yuhan was glad that she was used to keeping important things, things that might arouse suspicion, in her space. The cabinet in the west room where she lived only contained some clothes she usually wore.
Yuan Qiwen said, "Cousin, Yuhan also gets paid, so why doesn't she have money to buy these clothes? You start causing trouble as soon as you arrive. Isn't this affecting my older cousin's recovery?"
Han Yiping pouted and said, "I don't care. You can stop me from staying here, but I want this outfit."
Han Yiping used to be very afraid of her older brother, Han Yixian, but ever since Han Yixian was diagnosed with a condition that required him to be in a wheelchair, Han Yiping no longer respected or feared him as much as before.
Therefore, Han Yixian's words are no longer very effective with Han Yiping.
Han Yixian, seeing Han Yiping's unyielding attitude, knew that his mother had spoiled his younger sister rotten. She was utterly unreasonable and capricious. He also noticed the change in Han Yiping's attitude towards him and felt deeply disheartened.
People are just that realistic. Even his own sister changed her attitude after realizing she no longer needed to rely on her older brother.
Han Yixian felt extremely bitter. This was his own family, yet he was treated worse than a stranger.
He also decided in his heart that after his leg was healed and he could stand up, he would stay away from his younger brothers and sisters. Since they no longer regarded him as their older brother, he no longer needed them.
Thinking of this, Han Yixian stared at Han Yiping and said, "You'd better take off your clothes right now and leave immediately, or I'll have Liu Gang and Qiwen take action."
When Han Yiping saw that her older brother was angry and about to get serious, she quickly grabbed the clothes she had just changed out of and ran out.
Yuan Qiwen saw that his cousin had run away wearing Du Yuhan's clothes and was about to chase after her.
Du Yuhan quickly pulled Yuan Qiwen aside and said, "Don't chase after her. If she wants to wear the clothes, just give them to her. Anyway, they belong to Brother Han, so consider it a return to their rightful owner. Don't let this cause any unpleasantness between you two."
Yuan Qiwen said, "But Yuhan, she's too arrogant. Isn't this blatant robbery?"
Although Yuan Qiwen and Han Yiping are cousins, Han Yiping has been spoiled and willful since childhood, and this has only gotten worse as she's grown up. She has also bullied her cousin since they were young. Therefore, Yuan Qiwen has absolutely no affection for Han Yiping.
Yuan Qiwen, the eldest son of the maternal uncle's family, was only close to his eldest cousin, Han Yixian, and not very close to the others.
Although Yuan Qiwen and Du Yuhan have only known each other for a little over six months, they have already formed a deep friendship. Naturally, he felt indignant on Du Yuhan's behalf.
Han Yiping's arrival today served as a wake-up call for Du Yuhan. She realized that she had gone too far in her feelings for Han Yixian, which was not a good sign.
Her initial plan was to heal Han Yixian's leg, accept his gratitude, and then leave, without any emotional entanglement with him. Because doing so would only bring her unnecessary suffering.
Just like Han Yiping, whom we met today, if she falls in love with Han Yixian in the future, the Han family will look down on her, oppose her, humiliate her, and will not allow her to marry Han Yixian.
She must control her heart.
Having figured it out, Du Yuhan said, "What she said is not wrong. I am indeed the Han family's nanny. And those clothes were indeed bought because Brother Han paid for them."
It's no big deal that she took a set of clothes. Don't let me cause any unpleasantness. She's your cousin after all. Alright, it's almost noon, I'll tidy up and go cook. Don't worry about it."
Han Yixian felt like he was being pricked by needles as he listened to Du Yuhan's words.
For some reason, he sensed a change in Du Yuhan the moment she spoke, as if she had drifted away from him in that instant. It was an indescribable feeling, like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan, I'm sorry, my sister is so insensible. I'll have someone find you a new outfit later."
Du Yuhan shook her head and replied, "Brother Han, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I don't care whether I wear a uniform or not. Besides, I'm not a soldier, so it's really not suitable for me to wear a uniform. My usual clothes are fine."
After saying that, Du Yuhan put all of Han Yiping's clothes that had been scattered on the bed into the closet.
Han Yixian's heart sank upon hearing Du Yuhan's words. He didn't continue the topic but turned to Yuan Qiwen and said, "Yiping must have gone to your house. Go home and check on her. Then tell your aunt to let Yiping return to Kyoto as soon as possible. Don't let her stay in Luancheng, and don't let her come here again."
Yuan Qiwen nodded and said, "Okay, cousin, I'll tell my mom when I get home."
After Yuan Qiwen left, Han Yi first sent Liu Gang out as well, then went into the west room and said, "Yuhan, I'm sorry, don't be angry. I won't let her come here again. Did she find anything important? From now on, lock the door when you go out, just to be safe."
Du Yuhan knew Han Yixian was referring to the pistol she used to kill the spy last time, and said, "I've hidden it all. No one will find it. There are only some clothes in this closet, nothing else."
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's good. Yuhan, don't take what my sister said to heart."
While packing her things, Du Yuhan said, "It's nothing. What she said isn't wrong. I was originally your family's hired nanny. I have that much self-awareness."
Han Yixian couldn't see Du Yuhan's expression from behind, but he felt anxious after hearing her words and said, "You're not a nanny. I've never treated you like a nanny."
Hearing Han Yixian's slightly raised voice behind her, Du Yuhan turned around and asked, "What am I if not a nanny? Didn't you insist on paying me wages?"
When Han Yixian was left speechless by the question, he resorted to shamelessness and said, "Anyway, you're not a nanny. I consider you a friend."
