The He family members were all surprised, not understanding how Du Yuhan could be involved with Han Yixian.
Han Yixian was very famous in Kyoto's upper-class circles. He was the typical "other people's child," excelling in every aspect and being one of the best among the younger generation.
However, fate is unpredictable. Some time ago, Han Yixian was seriously wounded on the battlefield, resulting in the loss of both legs and the inability to stand again. In addition, Han Yixian's fiancée insisted on breaking off the engagement upon hearing that her fiancé was disabled. At that time, the Han family's situation caused quite a stir in the capital.
I never expected my daughter to be involved with Han Yixian.
Seeing her parents and older brother's curiosity, Du Yuhan explained, "Han Yixian has been in a bad mood since he was injured and disabled, and he drove away several caregivers. Han Yixian's aunt took him to D province to take care of him nearby. After all, Aunt Han has to work, so she asked someone to find a caregiver for Han Yixian."
Aunt Han heard that I was being mistreated at home but was also very capable, so she took me back to try my luck. Unexpectedly, Brother Han Yixian took pity on me and let me stay. They were all very kind to me. My food, clothing, and accommodation were much better than before.
Moreover, Han Yixian's legs aren't entirely hopeless. However, it will take time for him to stand up again, and I need to personally gather many medicinal herbs. So, I can only go home after I've healed his legs.”
Du Yuhan didn't dare say that she was the wife Han Xiuqin had found for her nephew, or even just a backup option.
If the He family finds out, even if they don't confront the Han family, they definitely won't let her take care of Han Yixian anymore.
The He family members exchanged surprised glances and asked, "You mean you can cure Han Yixian's leg?"
Du Yuhan didn't intend to hide the fact that she knew medicine from her family. She could hide it for a while, but not forever, so it was better to tell them now and make things easier in the future.
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I met a person with extremely high medical skills in my hometown."
Du Yuhan then repeated the same story she had told Han Yixian to her family.
"So curing Han Yixian's leg is not just talk. I have almost restored his body to normal. As long as we gather all the ingredients for the secret recipe, we can start the treatment. Right now, we can only use massage to prevent Han Yixian's leg muscles from atrophying."
The He family members were somewhat incredulous, because Han Yixian was a well-known figure in the upper echelons of Kyoto. His injury and disability had caused quite a stir at the time. The most authoritative doctors at the military hospital had given Han Yixian a death sentence for his legs, saying that he would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.
Everyone lamented the passing of such a rising star.
Now that her daughter says she can cure Han Yixian's leg, it all seems unbelievable.
He Chenglin didn't want to discourage his newly reunited daughter, but he still advised, "Yuhan, many authoritative doctors have diagnosed Han Yixian's leg condition as hopeless; he has no chance of ever standing up again. Aren't you being too optimistic?"
Du Yuhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't make things up if I wasn't sure. Besides, I've already spoken to Han Yixian, and he agreed to let me treat him and is cooperating with me. He said that since his leg is already like this, he won't blame me if it can't be cured."
I came here to collect medicinal herbs, but I never expected to run into my abducted nephew on the train. Perhaps it was fate. I hope you can support me, Mom and Dad.
I'm doing very well in Luancheng, D Province; they all take good care of me. And now Han Yixian is still teaching me academic subjects; I'm now a junior high school student.
No one could bear to see such a promising young soldier in this state. Once he recovers, I'll retire gracefully, and then I'll come back to take good care of my parents. I promise you, I'll definitely be back in two or three years at most.”
Du Yuhan decided to go back and work hard to upgrade her space and save money so she could buy medicine to treat Han Yixian's leg as soon as possible.
When Yu Huiru heard that her daughter would not be able to return to her side for another two or three years, she was really reluctant to part with her and said, "You are already fifteen years old this year. In another two or three years, you will be seventeen or eighteen years old, and you will be of marriageable age. Then I won't be able to keep you for more than two years before you are married again."
Du Yuhan was both amused and exasperated to hear her mother's far-sighted thinking. She advised, "Mom, don't worry, I won't get married so early. I want to spend a few more years with you two."
Besides, when Aunt Han took me out of the countryside, she said that even if Han Yixian didn't keep me, she would find me a job because I'm a descendant of revolutionary soldiers. We have to repay that kindness, don't we?
He Chenglin and his wife thought that if the Han family hadn't taken their daughter out, she would still be suffering in the Du family and might even have been forced to marry someone she didn't want to marry.
Thinking this way, Han Xiuqin had indeed done the He family a favor. If her daughter could really cure Han Yixian's leg, then that would be repaying that favor, and the debts would be even.
He Chenglin and Yu Huiru asked Du Yuhan about her life and the treatment of Han Yixian's leg. Seeing that Du Yuhan spoke eloquently, they stopped trying to stop her.
Their daughter has just been found, and they must respect her choice so that she doesn't resent them.
He Chenglin said happily, "I'll invite my old friends over to my house in the next couple of days to introduce Yuhan to them and let them know that I, He Chenglin, have found my daughter."
He Zhenhua said from the side, "Dad, you're too happy and want the whole world to know that our little sister is back. But I don't think it's appropriate to publicize the news of our little sister's discovery right now."
It's confirmed that Haobo's abduction was orchestrated by someone, and it wasn't Zhang Shuanglian's idea on her own. However, he doesn't know who the mastermind is. The enemy is lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance, so we should proceed with caution.
Publicizing Yuhan's situation now would be putting her in danger, which is unwise. It's good that we know Yuhan is back; let's not tell anyone yet. Just tell everyone that Yuhan is Haobo's savior. We should keep a low profile for now.”
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "Dad, I think my older brother is right. It's enough for our family to know. There's no need to spread it around. Don't go to the Du family to say anything, and don't let them know that I've found my biological parents. Otherwise, given the greedy and shameless nature of those people at the Du family's old house, they'll definitely try every means to cling to us."
He Chenglin found his son and daughter's words very reasonable, and he was so happy that he didn't think too much about it.
"Then we'll do as you two say. Let's not announce that Yuhan has been found yet. It's fine as long as it's just a family matter."
Thinking of her adoptive parents, Du Yuhan hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to ask Dad for a favor."
He Chenglin looked at his youngest daughter and said, "What do you mean by helping? Your problems are my problems too. Tell me, and I'll do whatever I can for you."
