When they got married, Han Jiyou went to the Gong family to send off the bride. When he saw Gong Wantang's happy smile, he silently swallowed all the pain.
Cui Zhiyuan was a highly educated intellectual. He was gentle and polite to others, had good manners and conversation, and was handsome and elegant. Outsiders had a high opinion of him. They looked very well matched when standing together at that time, and they were very affectionate to each other when they got married.
He joined the army when he was young, and followed his father and brothers in the barracks. He was often on dangerous missions outside, walking on the line between life and death, with his head hanging on his belt at all times.
Growing up in a military camp, he had witnessed many separations and deaths. Many familiar comrades fell on the front line, leaving orphans and widows at home heartbroken.
At that time, he was ready to sacrifice at any time and did not dare to think about getting married and starting a family. He was afraid that the day would suddenly come and he would close his eyes and die, leaving his wife and children with endless pain.
Therefore, even though he loved her deeply, he kept this feeling deep in his heart and never told anyone about it.
He always thought that she would live a happy life, and that Cui Zhiyuan would, as he had promised when he got married, cherish and love her for the rest of his life and give her a lifetime of happiness.
But she never expected that the bastard would eventually let her down and abandon her when she was pregnant.
"Wantang, does Linglong know?"
"I know. I told her, but she didn't ask anything about Cui Zhiyuan and the Cui family."
The daughter didn't ask, and Bai Shuixian didn't say anything. The mother and daughter tacitly agreed not to talk about this matter. Their common attitude also showed that the Cui family was irrelevant strangers in their hearts.
Han Ji frowned slightly and asked again, "Don't you have any thoughts of letting her get reunited with the Cui family?"
Bai Shuixian shook her head and smiled faintly, her smile indifferent: "From the day I decided to divorce, everything with him and the Cui family is over."
"Although Linglong has his blood flowing in her body, her surname is Gong. She is a descendant of the Gong family, my daughter, and Jingchuan's wife. These are her identity labels."
"My divorce from Cui Zhiyuan wasn't a momentary act of anger. It was a carefully considered decision made after countless disappointments."
"For us at the time, divorce was the best solution. Apart from the conflicts within our marriage and family, we each pursued our own ideals. When we had irreconcilable differences in our principles, divorce was the only option."
"I've never regretted divorcing him, and I've never considered getting involved with him again because of Linglong."
"It is the best arrangement for everyone to be well and not disturb each other."
Han Ji listened to this and sighed in his heart: "Well, life is simple now, which is good."
"Yes, life is much simpler now than before. I've had a hard time these years. Raising Linglong wasn't easy either. I haven't had a moment's rest. Now is the perfect time to rest and relax, both physically and mentally."
Han Ji had heard her story of the past twenty years that morning. Although she put it simply, he could guess how hard and humiliating her life had been.
He really wanted to dig out the body of Bai Jianren, who was worse than a beast, and whip him.
Seeing his face full of anger, Bai Shuixian smiled and comforted him: "Okay, don't think about it, the past is in the past, and the future will be good."
Han Ji let out a long sigh, picked up the water beside him and drank it all in one gulp, then asked her, "Wantang, what are your plans next?"
"Linglong is pregnant now and is very busy with work. Jingchuan is also in the rising stage of his career and is often away on missions. I plan to stay at home with Linglong and take good care of her and the baby in her belly. As for revenge, let's put it aside for now. There is no need to rush."
The Xue family is in a mess now. One of the two old men is dead and the other is disabled. Xue Hailin is paralyzed, Xue Haiping is in jail, Xue Haihong is seriously injured, and her son would be imprisoned if he didn't die.
There are two or three capable grandchildren in the Xue family, but the recent events are enough to make Xue Haihui and his nephews anxious.
What happened in Seoul must have spread to Kyoto by now. Xue Haihui's brothers and sisters have all violated discipline and laws. When he returns to Kyoto, he will be greeted with a storm of criticism, accusations and investigations.
He will not have a good time in the next period of time.
He climbed from an ordinary person to his current position. In addition to stepping on the corpses of others to get to the top, there must be other people supporting and promoting him behind the scenes. This time, if he wants to maintain his position and situation, the person behind him will definitely show up.
Although they are in Seoul now and cannot go to Kyoto to investigate, as long as they identify the suspect, they will not be running around like headless flies when they take revenge in the future.
"Wantang, your arrangement is very good. Take more rest during this period and take good care of your body. Put other things off for the time being."
Han Ji knew that she had undergone brain surgery at the beginning of the year and hadn't been able to rest properly in the past six months. He added, "Wantang, now that you've recovered your memory, make yourself some medicine. I'll mail you some good medicine later."
"Han Ji, I'm well now. Please leave your precious herbs to Uncle Han and Aunt Han. They are old and suffered many injuries in battle when they were young. They need good medicine to heal them."
"And the same goes for you. Don't neglect those hidden injuries and old ailments from your youth. You can handle them now because you're strong, but when you're old and can't handle them anymore, no matter how much good medicine you take, it won't be enough."
Feeling her concern, Han Ji's eyes flickered with a strange light as he said, "Wantang, you are a good doctor. Could you please prescribe some medicine for me?"
"sure."
Bai Shuixian readily agreed and stood up, "I'll go get the medicine box."
They were seeing patients and prescribing medicine at home. Lu Jingchuan hurried back after finishing his work and met Liao Qiuhua outside. When he learned that Gong Linglong and her fellow disciples had gone to the river to fish, he immediately rushed to the river.
"Brother Jing, are you done with your work?" Gong Linglong was sitting under a shady tree fishing.
Lu Jingchuan had just finished discussing the deployment with his leader. He ran over to her, sat on the ground, and whispered something in her ear for nearly half a minute.
Gong Linglong listened carefully, and nodded solemnly after he finished speaking: "Okay, I will cooperate with the operation."
Lu Jingchuan accompanied them fishing for half an hour. The two female comrades were lucky and caught two or three fish each. Ji Wei was not so lucky and had to sit for a whole hour before a fish took the bait.
After he pulled a two-pound carp ashore, everyone packed up and went home.
As soon as they arrived home, Bai Shuixian handed her son-in-law a piece of paper and said, "Jingchuan, if you are free now, go to the hospital and buy these Chinese medicinal herbs."
"Mom, what do you want to buy medicine for?" Lu Jingchuan asked hurriedly.
"I just prescribed medicine for your master to treat an old illness or hidden injury. The course of treatment is one month. Go get the herbs first. I'll make the pills today and tomorrow and have him take them with him on time."
When Jiang Yun heard that the medicine was for the master, she immediately asked, "Aunt Bai, the old man has a lot of hidden injuries and old illnesses. Can they be cured?"
"It's impossible to cure it. It's still timely to take medicine now. If you recuperate slowly over the years, you won't suffer too much when you get old." This was the only answer Bai Shuixian could give.
