Despite everyone's analysis, He Yuhan still felt puzzled, as she felt things weren't so simple.
She frowned and said, "Brother Han, is the Liu family and the Zeng family so scheming to seize the Han family's property just because your family is rich? But there are many families richer than the Han family, so why are they targeting your family specifically?"
It's said that the Liu and Zeng families don't live in the same city as your Han family, and are even quite far away. You families didn't know each other before, so why would they target your Han family? This is highly suspicious.
Han Yixian was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned as he said, "I really have no clue about this."
He Yuhan, recalling some plots from novels she had read before, asked, "Brother Han, does your family have any heirloom treasures, or any mysterious legends?"
Han Yixian stared straight at He Yuhan, then widened his eyes and nodded.
He Yuhan's eyes widened as she said, "Oh, there really is! I was just saying, but maybe you've hit the nail on the head. Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
Han Yixian said, "What's inconvenient about saying it? It's just a legend. Although our Han family has been passed down for thousands of years, it is said that our ancestor was originally a farmer who accidentally found a treasure in the fields. It was this treasure that allowed our ancestors to accumulate initial capital and gradually make the Han family prosperous."
Later, the Han family grew stronger and stronger, becoming a leading aristocratic family at the time, and has maintained this status for many years.
As for that legendary treasure, nobody knows what it is or whether it even exists.
Now that you mention it, I do remember. When I was little, Zeng Yufen once asked my father about the Han family's heirloom. She said she wanted to see it. But my father said there was no such heirloom, and even he didn't know about it.
Everyone sighed upon hearing this. There were many legends in ancient society, but who in modern times would take them seriously?
He Chenglin believes that the ancestor of the Han family may have indeed discovered some treasure, sold it to obtain the capital to start his business, and gradually became wealthy through his hard work.
Regardless of whether the Han family actually possessed this treasure, Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan likely believed they did. Perhaps the Liu and Zeng families had been plotting against the Han family for decades, scheming to seize this legendary treasure and their inheritance. And Han Yixian's father had clearly fallen into their trap.
He Chenglin said, "According to you, Liu Zhongquan and Zeng Yufen have big ambitions. You should explain these things to your father as soon as possible, lest Liu Zhongquan and Zeng Yufen, when they fail to achieve their goals, resort to desperate measures and scheme against your father again."
Perhaps the entire Han family will be in danger.
He Yuhan also said, "They all came to intercept and kill Brother Han because Han Yixian's father still pinned his hopes on Brother Han, hoping that he would return to inherit the Han family in the future. So Zeng Yufen saw that Brother Han was blocking her son's way, so of course she wanted to get rid of Brother Han so that they could seize the Han family."
"If it didn't work this time, who knows what other dirty tricks they'll pull next time."
Han Yixian said, "I have Uncle Zhong here as a witness, and with the other evidence, that's about enough. It would be even better if I could find my biological mother. I wonder if she, a young woman, could have survived in those war-torn years?"
Yu Huiru sighed and said, "The most pitiful one is your biological mother. She went through the hardship of giving birth to you, but had to painfully give you away to the Han family. Separation from her own flesh and blood must have been very painful for her. She did that to save your life, so don't resent her."
To be honest, it was your father and the Han family who wronged her. How difficult it must have been for a young woman, all alone, to survive in a time of war.
Han Yixian said, "How could I blame her when I heard what Uncle Zhong said about what happened back then? She was doing it for my own good. I only hope that she is still alive. If I can find her in the future, I can fulfill my filial duty and let her enjoy her old age in peace."
Yu Huiru said, "That's the right way to think. No mother wants to be separated from her child. If the situation hadn't been so critical, we wouldn't have entrusted Yuhan to a fellow villager's family, and we wouldn't have been separated from Yuhan for so many years, causing her so much suffering."
As she spoke, Yu Huiru began to wipe away tears.
Seeing that her mother was bringing up the past again, He Yuhan quickly advised, "Mom, why are you bringing up the past again? It's all in the past, let's not think about it anymore."
Yu Huiru wiped away her tears and said, "I'm just heartbroken. At least Yixian has his biological grandfather and father by his side, but you have nothing. If it weren't for the kindness of your adoptive parents, we might never have seen you again."
He Yuhan put her arm around her mother's shoulder and said, "Actually, I didn't suffer much. My parents protected me back then, otherwise I wouldn't have grown up like this, right?"
Han Yixian did not expose his fiancée's lie. When he first met He Yuhan, anyone could see that He Yuhan had suffered a lot. Otherwise, she would not be malnourished, so thin and small, and look much younger than her peers.
If she hadn't been able to eat her fill in Luancheng before starting to develop, she wouldn't be the graceful and beautiful girl she is today.
Han Yixian felt quite proud that He Yuhan had grown from a skinny little girl to a young woman and had become his fiancée.
He Chenglin also advised his wife, "From now on, we'll love our daughter more and make up for what we did before. Her two older brothers will also protect her, so don't be sad."
He Zhendong quickly replied, "Yes, Mom, I will definitely protect my little sister from now on."
Han Yixian said, "Yes, Auntie, I will never let Yuhan suffer any injustice in the future."
Yu Huiru nodded and said, "I know, you don't need to worry about me, I'll be fine in a bit."
Han Yixian then brought up the purpose of their visit: "Uncle, those people still haven't been caught. It's not very safe for you to stay in Laohewan Village. Yuhan can't stay here any longer either. Why don't you come back to the city with us today?"
He Chenglin said, "I've thought about this. We'll go back to the compound today. It's safer in the city than here."
Han Yixian said, "Your body has not fully recovered yet, and returning to the compound is not good for your recuperation. Moreover, it's best to keep your rapid recovery a secret from outsiders for now; it's also good for Yuhan."
I bought a new house a while ago, and it's completely renovated now. Yesterday, Yuhan and I cleaned it up again, so it's perfectly fine for you to move in.
"You and your family can stay at my house. During the day, the bad guys won't dare to do anything, and at night, it'll be safer for Liu Gang and me to stay here too."
He Chenglin was surprised that Han Yixian had bought another house and invited his family to live there. Through observing him over this period, she realized that Han Yixian was considerate of his daughter in every way, taking everything into account. This son-in-law was truly excellent.
