As expected, the only way to control Yaoyao is to read and practice calligraphy.
…
The days passed as Chu Yaoyao reviewed the saying "Man is born good".
She suffered every day, and the Han family was not much better off than her.
Ever since they learned that Han Yunze was not their biological grandson (son), the Han father and son seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
But the fact is the fact. No matter how unacceptable it is or how unwilling you are to believe it, you have to face the reality.
On this day, the Han family's father and son were discussing matters in the study.
Han Jifu spoke slowly, without a trace of emotion on his face, but his tone was unquestionable.
"No matter what, Tian cannot be touched for the time being, otherwise it will prove that she has an affair with someone else. The future head of our Han family must not have any stains!"
Han Jifu slammed the table several times, making it bang loudly.
"Get out, all of you!"
Looking at his back, Han Jifu shook his head and sighed.
He slammed his fist on the coffee table beside him with a 'bang' sound, and roared through gritted teeth.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the backyard with a gloomy face.
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
Han Jifu threw the teacup heavily at his feet.
Han Lin wiped his face from forehead downwards with force. His eyes were red and flashing with frightening ferocity, and he gritted his teeth.
In the past, he was worried about her because she was the empress dowager's sister, but now that Bai was courting death, what was there for him to fear?! ...
As soon as Han Yunqian came in, he saw the food scattered all over the floor. He frowned and shouted at the people at the table.
"Is that a cheap bitch like that?!"
After saying that, he pointed at him with regret.
"If you hadn't ruined your health by messing around all these years, why would you only have Yunqian as your son?!"
"Feeling indignant?"
When he was young, there were many women in his backyard, but Bai was jealous, and the pregnant concubines rarely gave birth to children safely. Even if they did, except for daughters, the children died young.
"Then you should give me some more grandchildren!"
After hearing this, Han Lin looked a little embarrassed. He said nothing and hurried out.
Is this retribution?
"Just bear with it!"
"Father, I won't give up!"
In a yard in the backyard, Han Yunya stretched out her arm and swept the food to the ground again.
As soon as Han Yunya saw him, she quickly stood up and rushed towards him, grabbing his hand tightly, staring at him closely with bloodshot eyes.
"Second brother, I heard that my eldest brother was locked up by my grandfather. Go and save him!"
Han Yunqian did not answer her, but glanced at the servant guarding the door.
"Go and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of chicken soup."
"I don't want to drink!" Han Yunya shook off his hand and pushed him hard.
Looking at his calm expression, Han Yunya suddenly realized.
"I know, it's all because of you!"
"In order to inherit the Han family's business, you caused my eldest brother to be disliked by my grandfather and father, right?!"
Seeing her gritting her teeth and looking at her ferociously as if she was an enemy, Han Yunqian felt a chill in his heart.
He waved his hand and asked the maid and the boy to go out.
After the door was closed, he sneered at Han Yunya.
"Are you worried about Han Yunze? Father and daughter are truly connected."
Han Yunya felt a loud bang in her head. She shook her head subconsciously and took a half step back in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"That's impossible! You have to be lying to me!"
Han Yunqian curled the corners of his lips slightly, with a smiling face, but the words he said were extremely cruel.
"You heard it right, you are the child of mother and Han Yunze. Grandfather and father already know about this. If it weren't for my pleading, do you think you would still be alive today?"
"No, this is impossible!" Han Yunya covered her ears and shouted, then squatted on the ground in collapse.
Han Yunqian rubbed his ears in disgust and impatience, then turned his head to look towards the door.
Hearing this, Han Yunya stood up suddenly, opened the door and ran out.
I don’t know what the mother and daughter said to each other, but after a while, faint crying and shouting were heard in the yard.
Han Yunqian strode out of the courtyard, and the housekeeper was already waiting outside.
"Sir."
Looking at the butler who lowered his head and looked submissive, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Han Yunqian's eyes, and he gave a halfhearted compliment.
"You did a great job on the blood test."
"This is what an old slave should do."
Afterwards, the butler spoke of what happened that day in a tone that seemed to be taking credit for it.
"I brushed a few layers of white vinegar on the bottom of one of the bowls before deliberately placing that bowl next to you. Young Master... Han Yunze has always been suspicious and will definitely snatch it."
Han Yunqian's mouth gradually flattened, and the anger in his eyes wished he could burn a hole in the man in front of him! In the last life, you also cooperated with Han Yunze to deal with me in this way! Han Yunqian took out a few banknotes from his arms.
"I've said it before, as long as you work hard for me, you will get the benefits."
"Thank you, sir. Don't worry, I am 120 percent loyal to you."
The butler smiled obsequiously, but his eyes were fixed on the banknotes, full of greed.
Han Yunqian threw it into his arms casually, as if he was just throwing away a few pieces of waste paper, without any care.
Anyway, this is money drawn from the Han family's accounting office, so I won't feel bad about spending it.
What's more, after a while, the emperor will order a confiscation of his property, and he will have to cough up everything!
Han Yunqian felt very happy when he thought about what he had discussed with the Second Prince that day. He even felt much better when he looked at this enemy from his previous life.
"Tell them to be more careful when they watch over this yard."
The butler stuffed the banknotes into his clothes and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, I'll take note of it."
…
These days, in addition to teaching Yaoyao calligraphy, Chu You and Li Wanming also sent people with a list to secretly look for those scholars who were bribed and coerced by the Han family.
Convince them to come forward and identify the Han family.
That night, in the village outside the city, at the home of Hunter Liu.
Seven or eight men dressed as bandits, led by a man wearing a black cloak with bamboo patterns embroidered with silver thread, surrounded the Liu family's yard.
Hunter Liu, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He looked out the window with a serious face and said in a deep voice.
"Niang Wen, someone broke in, quickly take Xiaonan and hide in the cellar!"
As he gave the instructions, he hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall.
His words woke Wen Niang up instantly. She quickly got up and ran to her son's room, but turned back after a few steps, crawled under the bed, and turned out the wooden box.
On the other side, just as Liu the Hunter walked into the main room, he heard a fighting sound outside.
He opened the door a crack and looked out.
I saw several people wearing dark blue guard uniforms stopping the man dressed as a robber.
The two sides fought, and the group dressed as bandits was defeated step by step. In the end, the cloaked man who was leading the group was scratched on the arm and stabbed in the chest. He was helped by his men to retreat.
Afterwards, the people who stopped the robbers did not leave.
Hunter Liu quickly closed the door, and when he heard the footsteps getting closer, he clenched the dagger in his hand.
On the other side, Wen Niang covered her son's mouth, and the mother and son hid in the small cellar, listening to the noise outside in fear.
The man wearing a bamboo hat knocked on the door twice.
Brother Liu, we are not bad people, we just want to ask your wife for a favor."
Hearing him call out his last name accurately, especially when the man mentioned Wen Niang, Liu the Hunter frowned tightly, raised his dagger in defense, and replied loudly.
"Thank you for saving my life. You saved my family, and we should repay you, but my wife is just a woman, so I can't help you much."
"If you need any help, just tell me directly."
It was naturally impossible for Jinshu to reveal the secret of the past in public, but if she forced her way in, it would probably not end well.
He only said: "It happened nine years ago."
Hearing this, Wen Niang quickly pushed open the stone slab and ran out of the cellar.
She pushed Liu the Hunter away, opened the door a crack, and looked at the people outside vigilantly.
But when she saw Jinshu's face, her eyes widened slightly.
"I remember you, you belong to the Fourth Prince!"
