Han Xiao gave Han Sheng a cold look. "Whether Father is alive or dead, his words must be carried out. If you want to disobey him, you should think twice."
My Han family has a history of over a thousand years, and very few have ever disobeyed the patriarch's orders. You should know what happened to those who violated the family precepts.
Upon hearing this, Han Sheng's heart sank, and he said, "Brother, you are now the head of the Han family, you can completely..."
Before Han Sheng could finish speaking, Han Xiao raised his hand to stop him, "I will not go back on my father's word. Alright, it's late, go and rest."
After saying that, Han Xiao stood up and went to rest.
Han Sheng watched Han Xiao from behind with a gloomy expression, but he didn't say anything more.
After meeting Han Xiao, Han Sheng left Kyoto without lingering.
After Han Sheng left, Han Xiuqin and Han Xiuying also heard about their elder brother's situation and rushed back to Kyoto.
Han Xiao saw his two younger sisters return and said, "Why are you two back too?"
Han Xiuqin said, "Brother, how can we not come back after such a big thing has happened?"
Han Xiuying said, "Yes, brother, Zeng Yufen caused such a big incident and you didn't even tell us. Your health isn't very good either, and you don't have anyone to take good care of you. What if something happens to you?"
Han Xiao said, "I'm fine now. Zeng Yufen's matter has no impact on me at all. If it has any impact, it's an impact that makes me happy."
Hearing their elder brother's words, Han Xiuqin and Han Xiuying exchanged a glance, not understanding why their elder brother would say such a thing.
Han Xiao saw that his two younger sisters looked a little confused and laughed, "What, don't you understand why I'm like this?"
I'd wanted to get rid of Zeng Yufen for a long time, but I never had the chance. When I found out about her affair with Liu Zhongquan, my first feeling wasn't anger, but joy—joy that I could finally get rid of her.
Han Xiuying said, "Brother, I heard rumors in Kyoto that Yikun and Yiping are not children of our Han family. Is that true?"
Han Xiao nodded and said, "It's true, they are all Liu Zhongquan's children."
Han Xiuqin and Han Xiuying felt a sinking feeling in their hearts upon hearing this.
Han Xiuying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, brother, is there anything wrong with Yixian's background?"
Han Xiao said, "Of course there's no problem, because Yi Xian is not Zeng Yufen's son at all."
Han Xiuying was shocked to hear this. "Ah, how is this possible?"
Han Xiuqin knew some inside information. "What my elder brother said is true. Yixian is indeed not Zeng Yufen's child, but Wen Jinyu's child with my elder brother."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiuying looked at her eldest sister in surprise and said, "What? Wen Jinyu from the Wen family is Yixian's biological mother? Eldest sister, you already knew?"
Han Xiuqin said, "I only found out recently."
Han Xiuying turned to her older brother and said, "Brother, how did Sister Jinyu give birth to your child? This is unbelievable."
Han Xiao sighed and briefly recounted what had happened back then.
Han Xiuying was so shocked that her mouth could hardly close. "This is too unbelievable. I feel like it's a fairy tale. Luckily, Sister Jinyu gave you a child, otherwise you would have been ruined by Zeng Yufen and the others and wouldn't even have any descendants?"
That vicious Zeng Yufen, and that ungrateful Liu Zhongquan, must not be let off easily.
Han Xiao said, "Their current situation is the greatest punishment for them."
Han Xiuying said, "Father is really shrewd. He turned the tables and directly used Zeng Yufen and the others to make Yixian the rightful eldest son of our family."
"But why didn't Father expose Zeng Yufen and the others all these years?"
Han Xiao sighed and said, "The reasons are too complicated. We were forced by the circumstances at the time. The Wen family's troubles involved a wide range of people. Do you think Father didn't help the Wen family back then? But we were in a chaotic world, and that force was simply beyond the reach of our Han family."
That force, having failed to obtain what it wanted, has been relentlessly pursuing Jin Yu's whereabouts. If they discover that Yi Xian is Jin Yu's child, then Yi Xian will be in great danger, and even our family will not be spared.
Adding to my situation at the time, Jin Yu had also disappeared without a trace, and many things happened all at once. My father chose to keep it a secret for the sake of the bigger picture. However, he continued to raise Yi Xian by his side.
The reason he didn't expose the truth later was because his father didn't know the whole truth at first. He initially thought that Zeng Yufen was simply scheming against me to marry me, and he had no idea that Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan had other plans.
He only gradually realized many things later. His father had kept it a secret for the sake of the Han family's stability, but he had also done some things. However, I didn't quite understand some of his actions. He has passed away, and we can no longer know his true thoughts.
Han Xiuqin frowned and asked, "Brother, are you saying that Zeng Yufen and the others have other plans? Do they have other motives?"
Han Xiao nodded and said, "What they've always wanted to seize is our family's wealth, the things that the Han family has inherited for hundreds of years. Do you still remember the legend of the Han family?"
Han Xiuying widened her eyes and said, "Of course I remember. They wouldn't believe it, wouldn't they? They wouldn't really think the Han family had such a treasure, so they've been scheming for decades, right?"
Han Xiao nodded and said, "That's true."
Han Xiuying twitched her lips and said, "This is too much. Even our own family members don't believe it's true, but others do. And it has caused our family such a huge loss. This is truly an undeserved disaster."
Han Xiuqin said, "Even without that legendary thing, the Han family's wealth is still something others are eyeing. Brother, have you investigated? Is this Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan's scheme?"
Han Xiao glanced at his younger sister and said, "You're really quick-witted. There is indeed someone behind them, but we still can't find out who's behind it."
Han Xiuqin frowned and said, "This is really troublesome. If we can't find out who's behind this, they'll keep eyeing our Han family from the shadows. We have to be careful in every way."
"But at least now we know someone is watching our house, so we can be on guard, which is much better than not knowing anything at all before."
Han Xiuying patted her chest and said, "This is really worrying. We don't know when the person behind this will do something bad. We need to find them as soon as possible."
Han Xiuqin asked, "Then, brother, didn't you start by investigating Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan?"
Han Xiao said, "I have already interrogated Liu Zhongquan. All I know is that the person who passed on the message and gave the instructions is probably surnamed Kang. Moreover, this person should be very familiar with the internal situation of our Han family. My initial judgment is that this person is either an enemy of our family or a friend who is on the surface to be friendly with our family."
