Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ponder. Han Zuwang's character was none of her business. She just wanted to disrupt the marriage between the Han and Ren families.
"What's the situation at Han Zuwang's house?"
Because Han Zuwang was one of the few people in the Han family who was willing to treat Han Dongshan badly, Xia Sheng had actually done some serious research on him. When asked, he answered, "Han Zuwang's father, Han Jianmin, had three sons. He had originally wanted to adopt one of his sons to Han Jianping, so after Han Jianmin's death, Han Zuwang, the most favored son, didn't get much of the family property. After the three brothers separated, he and his family refused to leave the ancestral home allocated to the eldest brother, relying on his two brothers for help from time to time. When he was drunk, he always took advantage of everyone. Everything Han Dongshan has now should be his. A person with an outsider surname has no right to inherit the Han family's property. He must be dissatisfied with Han Dongshan for this reason."
"Oh? Han Dongshan just let him talk nonsense like this?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Han Dongshan is so capable that he can deal with all the members of the Han family, so why can't he deal with Han Zuwang?
Xia Sheng shook his head. "Han Zuwang is so obsessed with Han Dongshan's wealth, and since he's gained face, he's unyielding. His two brothers are also very troubled by him. He's a thorn in the flesh. He once said that his father died inexplicably because he opposed Han Dongshan. If anything happened to him that day, it must have been Han Dongshan's doing. So no one dared to touch him."
After hearing this, Ren Yaoqi became interested in this person. He didn't look like a completely brainless person.
"In the last letter, in addition to asking you to investigate the Han family's relatives, I also asked you to investigate Han Dongshan's background. Did you find out anything?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.
Xia Sheng's response had satisfied her. She had spent some time with him in her previous life and had some understanding of his methods. She knew that while he looked rough, he was actually a very meticulous person. That was why she had specifically asked Xia Sheng to go to Jizhou in her last letter.
"I asked an old man who used to work for the Han family, and he said Han Dongshan had indeed fled from the south. In the 32nd year of the Qinglong reign, a drought struck the south, followed by a locust plague, killing many people. Many fled to Yanbei, which was relatively less affected. It was at this time that Han Dongshan fled to Jizhou with a group of people. Once, Han Jianping was out and encountered a few disaster victims who were almost starving to death and had taken the risk of robbing money. They were rescued by Han Dongshan and then taken back to the Han family by Han Jianping. According to Han Dongshan, his family had all died, and he had some distant relatives on his mother's side in Yanbei, so he came to seek refuge. However, over time, and after the Liao invasion, he could no longer find his distant relatives, so he stayed with the Han family. Later, he was appreciated by Han Jianping, and he was invited to marry into the family."
"Apart from these, can't you find anything else?" Ren Yaoqi frowned. "He himself didn't mention his previous family?"
Everyone has a background. She didn't believe that Han Dongshan came out of a stone, nor did she believe that he had no flaws at all over the years.
