Tang Fan knew about Yuanliang. When he was with the prince, he had already asked Han Zao who might be around him from entering the palace to his death.
When Han Zao entered the palace, it was the Han family who took him to the gate of the palace, and then the servant named Yuan Liang took him to the East Palace. During the process of walking into the palace, Yuan Liang was unlikely to have the opportunity to find the acupuncture points for Han Zao. Murder, and according to the prince, Yuan Liang had followed him before he was crowned prince, and he was very loyal, and it was impossible to murder Han Zao for no reason.
When Han Zao left the East Palace and was secretly entrusted by the prince to go to the West Palace to visit the Wu family, only Yuan Liang followed the whole process. Zao Ze spent a short time alone with the Wu family and conveyed the prince's greetings and recent situation.
Originally, with Wu's situation, she had sufficient motivation and conditions to plan this case and put the blame on Concubine Wan. Tang Fan also insisted on coming to the West Palace to investigate because of this. I can't ask why. When confronted, the other party's changes in demeanor, facial expressions and actions are also good supplementary evidence.
But now it seems that Wu's suspicion can indeed be ruled out.
That being the case, that is to say, the person who killed Han Zao probably did not come from the palace.
Coming out of the West Palace, Tang Fan kept sorting out his thoughts in his mind, reorganizing Han Zao's experience in the palace, and confirming where the murderer came from, so that it was convenient for the next step.
Wang Zhi has been uncharacteristically silent since he was in the West Palace. When Tang Fan was talking with Wu and others, he just stood by and watched coldly, but at this moment he suddenly laughed: "Tang Runqing, you have a tacit understanding with the deposed queen. It's a good play!"
Tang Fan said: "What is Duke Wang talking about, the lower officials don't quite understand."
Wang Zhi sneered: "You're still pretending to be confused with me? There has always been a connection between the Wu family and the prince! Let me guess, Han has long been the middleman between them? The people in the East Palace are indeed loyal enough, but they concealed it. It must be leak-proof, even I have been kept in the dark, you think what will happen if the imperial concubine knows this news?"
Tang Fan sighed: "Mr. Wang, stay on the line, see you in the future."
Wang Zhi ignored him and said to himself: "Since Wu was abolished, she felt resentment in her heart. After all, she is a posthumous queen, and it is not surprising that there are still people around her who are willing to send her around, so she planned to take the opportunity of the imperial concubine to send the soup and leave Ganwan. Han Zao from the East Palace led him to the West Palace and killed Han Zao, in order to put the blame on the imperial concubine. The case was solved like this, Your Majesty's problem was solved, the suspicion of the imperial concubine was lifted, and the Crown Prince was not involved. stop?"
Tang Fan was really afraid that he would do this, so he hurriedly said: "At that time, the imperial concubine will definitely not be satisfied with only killing the queen, but will take the opportunity to start another purge to eradicate all those people in the harem that she dislikes, the crown prince. It will definitely be affected, why does Duke Wang have to do such a hurtful thing? What's more, it has nothing to do with the matter after the abolition. "
Wang Zhi snorted coldly: "Since you know you are afraid, don't try to hide it, and tell me the connection between the prince and the Wu family!"
No one who can hold a high position is not a smart person. Even the cabinet elders who seem to have nothing to do are very powerful and shrewd people. Tang Fan will not ignore them just because they don't do practical things. matter.
But he found that he still underestimated the admiral of the West Factory. The other party's insight was really sharp. Tang Fan admitted that when he talked to the abolished queen and the palace maid, he was as careful as possible and did not reveal any flaws. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi still saw the clue.
Now, Tang Fan can't hide it from Wang Zhi anymore. He talked about the matter that the prince was taken care of after he was deposed when he was in trouble, and then said: "Prince is very filial, although Wu is not his biological mother, But because of this kindness, even when he became the prince, he never forgot it. It is not difficult to remember revenge, what is rare is to remember kindness. A person who has not forgotten the kindness of others will definitely not be a wicked person in the future. , is more likely to become a generation of Mingjun. Although Wang Gong received the grace of His Majesty and his concubine, but people always have to think about the future. For the people below, a tolerant prince is better than a prince with a dark mind. OK, right?"
Wang Zhi snorted: "You don't have to be afraid. Since I'm trying to forge this good relationship, I won't go back on my word! If you don't intimidate you, how would you know you're afraid and tell me the truth?"
Tang Fan thought that I was really going to be scared to death by you. If you tell Concubine Wan about the matter, the Wu family will be finished, and the crown prince will also be implicated, not to mention his pawn. With a wry smile on his face, he said, "Gong Wang, forgive me, the Crown Prince asked me to keep this matter a secret. After all, the fewer people know about it, the less danger it will spread."
Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Since we want to cooperate, we must pay attention to sincerity, and I might as well tell you that as for the prince, I will not betray him, Mrs. Wu, I can also let her go, but in the future What is your relationship with the prince, I must know!"
Tang Fan smiled and said, "It's natural, Wang is open and honest, and I'm willing to be honest with you."
Wang Zhi looked at him for a long time before he said, "So, this case really has nothing to do with the Wu family?"
Tang Fan explained his inference about Wu's just now, and then said, "It really has nothing to do with her. Maybe we have to change direction and check from the Han family."
Wang Zhi said: "As for the cause of Han Zao's death, are you sure that it is because of the water point?"
Tang Fan said, "It's confirmed."
Wang Zhidao: "After hearing the news, the Han family went to your Majesty to make a petition, and wanted to return to Han Zao's body to be buried. You know, Han Fang was His Majesty's teacher, and His Majesty was a soft-hearted person, but they were no match for them. The request has been agreed. If Han Zao's death is related to the people from the Han family, we can push the boat with the current. Maybe the murderer will not be able to restrain himself and do something to Han Zao's body, and then we will catch the turtle in the urn. How about it?"
Tang Fan said in his heart that it was not very good, but at this time, he and Eunuch Wang had just reached a ceasefire cooperation agreement, and he must not stimulate each other any more, otherwise he would become angry and angry, and he really went to file a complaint in front of Concubine Wan. Not good. So Master Tang hurriedly gave a thumbs up and followed Eunuch Wang's hair to express his approval: "High! This move is really high! Eunuch Wang is worthy of Eunuch Wang!"
Wang Zhi sneered: "Fake! Too fake!"
Tang Fan: "..."
Wang Zhi squinted at him: "Do you know how people outside are trying to flatter me?"
Master Tang is modest and eager to learn: "I would like to hear more about it."
Wang Zhi held his hands and said proudly: "I was ordered to go out to Beijing to do business last year, and the local government led the crowd to greet me. The local county magistrate saw me coming with dust and shoes, and because they only prepared drinks when they came to greet me, If nothing else, let me sit down first, then take off my boots, lick the dust off my boots with my head down, and help me put them on myself. Tang Runqing, can you get a real pass from him?"
With Wang Zhi's holy family and authority, the local officials did everything they could to lower their posture in order to please him. Although it sounded appalling, it would be worth it if he could hug Eunuch Wang's thigh.
Master Tang's reflex arc was a bit long, and after a while, he said, "Slobber!"
Wang Zhi: "… "
Tang Fan said: "The boots were stained with saliva, did Mr. Wang wear them all the way at the time? Although the leather is quite thick, if the other party has tuberculosis or something, the saliva will hang on the boots with yellow phlegm, and because the boots are black It's hard to see..."
He analyzed it in a serious way, and the focus of attention had long been out of the sky.
Wang Zhi couldn't help shouting angrily: "Tang Runqing, what the hell are you thinking about!"
Master Tang looked back with pure and innocent eyes.
Wang Zhi wanted to show off others' flattery towards him, so he beat Tang Fan by the way, but when he said it, he became disgusted for no reason.
"It's really bad to talk to you!" Eunuch Wang said angrily, and left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Tang Fan directly behind, regardless of whether he could keep up.
Master Tang shouted slowly from behind: "Oh, Mr. Wang, don't go so fast, I have old arms and legs, so I can't keep up!"
This case happened in the East Palace, and the relationship was very important. Every move was watched, and even the emperor was concerned about the abnormality. Although Tang Fan was under the emperor's life, his grade was there after all. See, at this time Wang Zhi played a very important role.
Although he is not the main investigator of the case, he can talk to the emperor and Concubine Wan, and can see him at any time, which is equivalent to acting as a contact between the emperor and Tang Fan. Every time the case progresses to a stage, what happens Progress, Wang Zhi needs to report everything in detail.
Now it has been initially found that it may not have much to do with the palace. Everyone is relieved. The emperor is also very satisfied with the result. It does not involve his beloved woman, nor does it need to set off a court storm, although some are not right. Live with your own teacher, but this is really the best outcome.
The emperor happily agreed to the request of the Han family and asked Wang Zhi to send Han Zao's body back to them. For the prince, Tang Fan would report the results. After hearing that it had nothing to do with the Wu family, the prince was also very happy. Personally thank Tang Fan.
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, don't rush to thank you, the murderer has not yet revealed any clues in this case, and there are many doubts. The truth is unknown. I can only say that it may have nothing to do with the palace, but I can't say that it has nothing to do with it."
The prince showed a shy smile: "I know, Tang Tuiguan must be under a lot of pressure in this matter, and if the murderer who killed Xiaozao can really be found, I will naturally thank Tang Tuiguan!"
Although he is young, he sees people and things with a kind of thoroughness beyond his age.
It is said that the children of the poor are the early masters of the family. Of course, the prince is not a child of a poor family, but he suffered several hardships in his childhood and almost died, but it was even more difficult than the children of ordinary poor families. As the crown prince, he died inexplicably within two years. Everyone knew who the murderer might be, but no one dared to say. Therefore, although Zhu Youxi was established as the crown prince, his situation in the palace was still unknown. It is startling every step, like walking on thin ice.
Tang Fan said: "In detail, Eunuch Wang was ordered to assist in the investigation of this case, and he also worked hard for it, not much less than his ministers. This time Han Zao's accident, the imperial concubine has doubts about the East Palace, thanks to Eunuch Wang's presence. In front of Your Majesty and your Concubine, try to clarify!"
What is Wang Zhi doing his best for? Isn't it to make yourself a good impression in the prince's heart
In this case, Tang Fan is happy to be a favored man in front of the prince.
Wang Zhi didn't expect Tang Fan to go so far. In addition to being overjoyed, he hurriedly saluted the prince and said, "I don't dare to pretend to be a hard worker. It's just to comfort the deceased, find out the truth, and let Your Majesty and His Highness feel at ease!"
Generally speaking, eunuchs and palace maids are supposed to call themselves slaves, but when Wang Zhishangming and the others are in their position, they are no longer low-ranking. You can call yourself a minister just like the court ministers outside.
The prince knew that Wang Zhi was from Concubine Wan's side, and Concubine Wan hated him, and he knew that too.
Han Zao's accident, many people think that Concubine Wan did it, and Concubine Wan also suspects that the prince deliberately framed herself. At this time, Wang Zhi can explain a few words in front of Concubine Wan, so that Concubine Wan can relieve her doubts about the prince. just big.
The crown prince was surprised, and quickly said: "Wang Neichen is too modest, you are devoted to your duties, and I often hear from the father and emperor. This case is due to your troubles!"
Wang Zhi said solemnly, "How dare you neglect what Your Highness has entrusted to you, and you should do your best!"
After leaving the East Palace, there was a smile on Wang Zhi's face: "Okay, Runqing, I really didn't see you wrong, you are righteous!"
Look, when he was angry before, he shouted with his first and last name, but now he is affectionately shouting the words, Eunuch Wang can turn his face much faster than a book.
Tang Fan pointedly ridiculed: "Master Wang, look at the sky, it was still cloudy just now, how come it's clearing up now, it's really a June day, if you change it, it will change!"
Wang Zhi laughed and pointed his finger at him: "This gentleman is generous, I don't care about you, you try this and tell Shang Ming, keep him from holding grudges, and make you cry!"
Tang Fan said, "How else can I get along with Duke Wang instead of getting along with Shang Ming? This is what makes people grouped together!"
Wang Zhi can't do anything about him. Is there anyone else who is praising himself in a different way
You say that Tang Fan's words are not in his head, everyone's words are full of deep meaning and humorous. They seem to offend people, but they don't really offend people. Even Wang Zhi is sometimes angry and annoyed, but he can't help provoking it. He, he doesn't look down on others, so he is willing to bicker with Tang Fan.
He interacts with people all day long, either he has to be cautious in his words and deeds, or he must always guard against other people's calculations, or he has to calculate others. In this way, it is a pleasure to be able to talk to Tang Fan and relax.
The two of them did not waste time, and after leaving the palace, they went directly to the Han residence.
With the permission of the emperor, the Han family had just retrieved Han Zao's body from the West Factory and were preparing to hold a funeral for him.
Wang Zhi's identity was there, and he had the imperial mandate, and no one dared to take it seriously. Han Qi led the whole family to open the middle door to greet him, but as Han Zao's parents, Han Fang and Lin were both absent. The second room is Han Hui, the adopted son of Han Fang.
Han Hui was weak and crowned. More than ten years ago, Lin was married to Han Fang a few years ago. Because he had no children, Han Fang refused to divorce his wife or take a concubine. Han Hui is the adopted son.
Han Qi carefully apologized to Wang Zhi and the others, and said with a wry smile: "After hearing about Ah Zao, the dog couple were greatly stimulated and were bedridden. Yesterday, after Han Zao's body was returned, Lin forced himself to get up again. , I have to keep vigil for him regardless of the dissuasion, but I fell ill again this morning, and I asked Gong Gong and Tang Tui to sit down for a while, and I will let them come over to greet him."
Changfang Han Yu is now an official out of town, and Han Qi is now over 60 years old. His official luck is not as good as his two sons. He was only a small head of the Sixth Department. .
Although both sons have official positions, and the second son Han Fang used to be the teacher of the emperor, but that is also the past, and let alone the teacher of the emperor, even if the son is a minister of real power now, Han Qi must not Dare to offend Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi waved his hand: "No, it's important to investigate the case. If necessary, we will personally go over to ask questions, and ask them both to mourn and change. We came here to express our condolences, so we will walk around the mansion by the way. You can lead the way on the left and right, and please notify the female family members in advance, so as not to be disturbed for unknown reasons."
Although he is young, he is quite majestic. He wears a gorgeous unicorn suit on his body, and his gestures are indistinguishable. His femininity suddenly turns into a fierceness. In front of this powerful Wang Changgong, the Han family can't even breathe. A bit slower.
In contrast, Tang Fan was purely an addition, sitting there as a foil.
But Tang Fan naturally didn't care. On the contrary, he was happy and leisurely, and occasionally echoed a few words. Most of the time, he just watched Eunuch Wang and the Han family socializing.
Regarding Wang Zhi's words, the Han family naturally hurried to do what they should, and then sent Han Hui out, and ordered the Han family to cooperate with the investigation and not to collide with Wang Zhi and Tang Fan.
Eunuch Wang impatiently greeted Han Qi a lot, and Han Qi also felt uncomfortable with Eunuch Wang. With Han Hui coming forward, Han Qi excused himself and avoided each other, and they were more comfortable with each other.
Han Zao died at a young age, which is different from Zheng Cheng. It is not appropriate to organize funerals. Except for Han Hui and the servants of the second room, they have no effect on Han Qi, Zhou Shi and others. This also shows that the relationship between the second room and the parents and the elder brother is mediocre.
He asked Tang Fan and the others, "Wherever the two adults want to see, I can take the two of them there."
Han Hui is a well-mannered young man. He is not tall. He speaks softly and politely. After he heard that his younger brother died early, he took leave from the Imperial College and rushed back. The funeral matters outside and outside are basically handled by him with the help of his servants, and his face is haggard and his eyes are red all day long.
Tang Fan then asked, "Han Zao is the youngest grandson of the Han family. He should be extremely precious. Why do I see so little sadness on the faces of my grandfather and grandmother?"
Han Hui smiled bitterly: "My children and grandchildren don't talk about the faults of their elders. I shouldn't have said these words. Since the adults asked, I had to tell the truth. Grandfather and grandmother didn't like my mother, so they were very fond of Xiao Zao. In order to be indifferent, in contrast, what they love more is the cousin from my eldest uncle's side."
Tang Fan said, "What is the relationship between your grandfather and grandmother and your father?"
Han Hui hesitated: "According to my observation, it seems to be mediocre."
Tang Fan turned and asked, "Who was in charge of escorting Han Zao when he left for the palace that day?"
Han Hui said regretfully: "I am a day student at the Imperial College, and I usually send Xiao Zao to the palace on weekdays, but that day happened to be a ten-day exam, so I didn't go home the night before and stayed directly in the Imperial College, where Xiao Zao was sent to the palace. The book boy sent him into the palace. It's all my fault, if I sent him into the palace as usual that day, maybe something like that wouldn't have happened."
Tang Fan said, "Do you have a good relationship with Han Zao?"
Han Hui said sadly: "Yes, I am ten years older than Xiao Zao, he can be said that I grew up watching him, because other people in the house don't like Xiao Zao very much, he always likes to pester me. …”
Tang Fan interrupted him: "Who doesn't like him?"
Han Hui said: "My grandfather and grandmother, the people in the long room don't like Xiao Zao very much. Although my mother is very doting on Xiao Zao, she..."
Han Hui didn't say any more, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Tang Fan said, "Is Han Zao's book boy here?"
Han Hui nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that after Xiao Zao's accident, he was ordered to be locked in the firewood by my mother and not allowed to eat, so I secretly gave him some, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago. But he is now being guarded by my mother's people. If you two want to see him, can you go to see my mother first, otherwise if my mother is to blame, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
When Eunuch Wang was doing things, he had to ask irrelevant people. If he said it was Han Fang, he would have to give some face. After all, he used to be the teacher of Emperor Chenghua, but he didn't have that much for the Lin family. His face turned sour: "Ignorance woman, I will be ordered to investigate the case, how can I allow her to make irresponsible remarks, don't need to see it, just go and bring that book boy to see us!"
However, Tang Fan said, "Mr. Wang is a little quiet. Mrs. Lin is Han Zao's mother and Mrs. Han Shaofu's wife. It's appropriate for us to visit."
Wang gave him a straightforward look and did not express any objection.
Han Hui could see it. The two adults in front of him, Eunuch Wang, had a higher status, but when investigating the case, it was Tang Fan.
He smiled gratefully to Tang Fan: "The two of you, please come with me."
Under the leadership of Han Hui, Tang Fan and Wang Zhi came to the main house where the second room lived. When Han Fang heard that they were coming, he got up and received the two of them. He was indeed pale and had a sick look.
"My son died tragically, and the Holy God has ordered an investigation. The two of you have worked hard, and I am truly grateful!"
They chatted politely, and Tang Fan asked about the book boy being locked up by Lin's order.
Han Fang smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed to say that, after Zhuojing married me, I suffered a lot. At that time, I was busy all day, and I didn't care about the affairs of the inner house. When I found out that she was unhappy, so much so that her temperament When it was extreme, it was already a little late. Fortunately, after Junji and Ah Zao were born, Zhuojing gradually improved a lot. It was I who failed her!"
Junji is Han Hui's character.
Tang Fan said: "So, the relationship between Mrs. Zun and the family members doesn't seem to be very good?"
Han Fang sighed: "Yes, because of the grievances in previous years, Zhuojing and my mother, brother and sister-in-law were at odds."
It seems that what Wang Zhi said before about the Han family is all right. From the words of Han Fang and Han Hui, it is not difficult for Tang Fan to outline the image of a woman with a narrow temperament. There are too many people who have grievances with the Lin family, so it would not be surprising if some of them attacked Han Zao in order to retaliate against her.
Tang Fan said, "We want to meet that book boy first."
Han Fang said: "Zhuojing is in the back hall to recuperate. I'll go and talk to her first, the two of you will wait."
A trivial matter, he could have made a decision by himself, but he said that he had to ask his wife first, and he was deeply afraid of love. Although Lin's relationship with the rest of the Han family was not good, he had to treat Han Fang sincerely. Taking a concubine can be considered a gift.
Tang Fan said, "Since you're here, let's go visit Madam Zun with Shaofu Han."
Han Fang said: "Alright."
A few people came to the back room, and Han Fang asked the maid outside: "Is Madam here?"
The maid replied, "The madam is resting inside."
As soon as the words were finished, a question came from inside: "Who is outside?"
The maid hurriedly lifted the curtain and spoke inside: "Mother, it's the master who is here, and there are a few adults who said they wanted to ask about the young master."
After a while, the inside responded: "Please come in."
Tang Fan and the others followed behind Han Fang and walked in, going around the screen, and saw a middle-aged woman half lying on the bed, just about to lift the quilt out of the bed, with an old woman serving next to her.
Han Fang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "If you are not healthy, just lie down. This is Duke Wang of Xichang, and the official Tang of Shuntian Prefecture. They came to investigate the case of Ah Zao's death by order of His Majesty, and wanted to meet him. Ah Zao's book boy."
Tang Fan also said, "If Madam is unwell, you don't have to get up. I'll just come over to greet you."
Although Lin was in her thirties, she still had her charm, and her appearance was the best choice. It was no wonder that Han Fang had been fascinated by her all these years, but her complexion was slightly sickly, and there was a gloomy look between her eyebrows. Color lingers.
"For my son's business, there are two adults running around, I'm really sorry..." Lin Shi said, her words were mild and decent, but when she saw that she suddenly saw Han Hui standing behind Han Fang, her complexion changed suddenly.
"Who let you in!" Lin sternly shouted at Han Hui.
Han Fang: "Xuanniang..."
Lin Shili ignored him, just stared at Han Hui, and said resentfully, "Go out, do you hear me! It's not enough for you to kill your brother, and you want to kill me again?!"
Han Hui was at a loss: "Mother..."
Lin said sharply: "I don't have a son like you! You could have sent Xiao Zao to the palace that day, why didn't you send it! You did it on purpose, didn't you! You thought of letting Xiao Zao die, you are the only one in the second room. My son! I tell you, don't think too beautiful! I haven't given birth to you, you go to the old goddess, she asked you to come to the Han family, you go to be his son!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Han Fang couldn't help but shouted: "Xuanniang!"
Lin Shi gasped, his emotions collapsed instantly, pounding his chest, crying and shouting: "Xiao Zao! Xiao Zao! Mother's heart! You died so miserably! Who is so cruel to harm you! Is it the Zhou family or the Wang family, Give your mother a dream! When your mother avenges you, she will go down to accompany you! My son!"
The woman's shrill cries pierced his eardrums, making Tang Fan unable to help frown, and Eunuch Wang couldn't take it anymore, so he left "I don't know", turned around and went out.
Han Hui hurriedly followed behind him to avoid going out. Tang Fan had no choice but to watch Han Fang whispering to his wife there, and slowly persuaded her to stop. He turned around and went out without asking any more questions.
When Tang Fan came out of the back room, he saw Wang Zhi and others standing in the yard, Han Hui was bowing and apologizing to him, seeing Tang Fan coming out, Han Hui smiled wryly at him: "Please forgive me, sir, since Starting a few years ago, my mother's spirit was not very good, and sometimes when she was suddenly stimulated, she would have a seizure, and her six relatives would not recognize her!"
It can be seen from his smile that Han Hui must have suffered a lot in peacetime, and what Lin said just now is really poignant. A bit subconsciously sincere, right? The adoptive mother treats him like this. Han Hui really doesn't know how he feels. Even Tang Fan can't help but feel injustice for Han Hui when he hears it.
Tang Fan and the others naturally didn't know that later generations had a very vivid description of Lin's symptoms, called persecution paranoia, which means that she fantasized about someone trying to harm her, and felt that there were enemies in all directions, Zhou, Wang, Han Hui, Tongtong was listed as an imaginary enemy by her.
Judging from the cautious performance of the maids and maids in Lin's room just now, it is estimated that Lin's usually doesn't have such episodes. She has a very bad temper and often beats things. If Tang Fan guessed correctly, this should be a symptom of Lin's repression day and night after marrying into the Han family. Han Fang felt ashamed of his wife, so he kept letting her go for so many years.
He asked Han Hui, "How long has she been like this?"
Sure enough, Han Hui said, "I don't remember much either. It's been like this since I was a child. My mother felt that I was forced by my grandmother, so she didn't like me very much. It wasn't until Xiao Zao was born that the situation improved a lot. , but a few years ago, because of my aunt's..."
He hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tang Fan and the others, and didn't say any more.
Tang Fan: "Why didn't you say anything?"
Han Hui smiled bitterly and said, "This is actually my mother chasing the shadows... My grandmother's niece, my father's cousin, came to Beijing to seek refuge with us after being a widow, and lived in the Han family. My grandmother once wanted my father to divorce my mother. , and married her, but my father refused."
Tang Fan nodded, he had already heard Wang Zhi say this: "Then what?"
Han Hui said: "My father doesn't want to take a concubine, and my Aunt Zhou is also unwilling to commit himself to being a concubine, so no one talks about it anymore, but somehow my mother found out, and it was easy to get to Aunt Zhou. The trouble caused Aunt Zhou to be so ashamed and angry that she almost wanted to die. Because of that incident, my mother's temperament became more and more narrow-minded, and she was more restrained on Xiaozao, because Aunt Zhou was very good to Xiaozao, and Xiaozao was willing to play with her. , but after my mother found out, she strictly forbade Xiao Zao to go to Aunt Zhou, and also forbid him to go to my uncle's yard..."
It all sounded like a mess of family affairs, and Han Hui became more and more embarrassed, especially since the objects of these discussions were his elders.
"...It's roughly like this. All in all, as you can see, my mother can't stand the slightest bit of stimulation now. She always feels that others have bad intentions for her. Now that Xiaozao died, she was even more... "
A sad look appeared on Han Hui's face.
Tang Fan patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard for you!"
Han Hui shook his head: "It's nothing, don't the two adults want to see Xiaozao's book boy, I'll take you there."
