The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty. 《成化十四年》Chengnian Shisi Nian
The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty, Chapter 36: The Han Family

Yun Liang was a man, Tang Fan knew about him, when he was with the Prince, he asked Han Zao who might be around him from the time he entered the palace to the time he died.

When Han Zao entered the palace, it was the Han family who brought him to the entrance of the palace, and then the inner attendant named Yun Liang took him to the East Palace, and in the process of walking into the palace, it is unlikely that Yun Liang had the opportunity to find the right acupuncture point for Han Zao and commit murder, and according to the Crown Prince, Yun Liang had been following him since before he was crowned Crown Prince, and he was very loyal to him, and could not have plotted against Han Zao for no reason.

Han Zao left the East Palace and was secretly entrusted by the Crown Prince to visit Wu-shi in the West Palace, but only Yun Liang followed him throughout.

Originally, Wu-shi had sufficient motive and conditions to plan this case, to frame the Noble Consort Wan, Tang Fan insisted on coming to the West Palace to investigate, sometimes it is impossible to find out the truth by just asking, to confront them face to face, the change of attitude, appearance, action, is also good evidence to supplement, but now he seen Wu-shi's situation.

But now it seems, Wu-shi's suspicion can indeed be ruled out.

In that case, it means that the person who killed Han Zao is probably not from the palace.

After coming out from the West Palace, Tang Fan has been organizing his thoughts in his mind, re-organizing Han Zao's experience in the palace, confirming where the killer came from, so as to facilitate the next step.

Wang Zhi did not say a word from the West Palace when Tang Fan was talking to Wu-shi others, he just stood by watched at this time, but suddenly laughed: " Tang Runqing, you the Empress have a good tacit understanding, you put on a good show!"

Tang Fan said: "What Eunuch Wang is saying, I don't understand."

Wang Zhi laughed coldly: "Still playing dumb with me? Wu-shi and the Crown Prince have always been in contact with each other! Let me guess, Han Zao is the middleman between them? The people in the East Palace are really loyal, they have kept the whole thing secret, even though I was kept in the dark, what would you say if your Highness knew about this?

Tang Fan sighed: " Eunuch Wang, keep a line, see others doing the same in the future."

Wang Zhi ignored him and said: "Wu-shi, because she was deposed and had a grudge, after all, she was the Empress Dowager, and there were still people around her who were willing to send her on her way. The case was solved, your Majesty's problem was solved, your Highness was relieved of all suspicion, and the Crown Prince was not involved, and everyone was happy."

Tang Fan was really afraid that he would do so, and said, "Your Highness will not be satisfied with just killing the Empress, but will take the opportunity to set up another purge, to eliminate all those she dislikes in the palace, and the Crown Prince will be affected as well, so why would Eunuch Wang do such a thing to harm the peace? Besides, the Empress has nothing to do with it."

Wang Zhi grunted coldly: "Since you know you're afraid, don't try to hide it, tell me everything about the connection between the Prince and Wu-shi...!

There was no one in a high position who was not wise, even the seemingly inactive cabinet members were all very smart people, and Tang Fan would not take them seriously just because they did not do anything practical.

But he found that he still underestimated the Western Depot Governor, whose insight was really first-rate, Tang Fan thought that he had been as careful as possible when he talked to the Empress the courtesan, without revealing anything he didn't expect Wang Zhi to see anything.

Now, Tang Fan can't hide it from Wang Zhi anymore, so he told him that when the Prince was in distress, he had to be taken care of by the Empress, then he said: "The Crown Prince's filial piety is commendable, even though Wu-shi is not his mother, he has never forgotten this kindness even when he became the Crown Prince. It's not hard to remember a grudge, it's hard to remember a kindness, a person who hasn't forgotten the kindness of others will definitely not be a big evil person in the future, and if he is well guided, he will be more likely to become a wise ruler. Although Eunuch Wang has received the kindness of His Majesty and Your Highness, he has to think about his future. To the people below, a tolerant prince is better than a dictator with a dark mind, isn't it?"

Wang Zhi grunted, "You don't have to be afraid either, since I'm intent on making this good relationship, I won't go back on my word! If I hadn't intimidated you, how would you have known you were afraid and revealed the truth to me?"

Tang Fan thought: I'm really scared to death, if you tell the Noble Consort Wan about this, Wu-shi will be finished and the Crown Prince will be implicated, not to mention the fact that he is a pawn. But he still smiled bitterly and said: " Eunuch Wang forgive me, the Crown Prince asked me to keep this a secret, after all, the less people know about it, the less danger of it getting out."

Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes, and stared at him: "Since we have to be sincere if we want to cooperate, I might as well tell you that I won't betray the prince's side, Wu-shi, and I can let her go, but I must know about any future dealings between you and the Crown Prince...!

Tang Fan laughed: "It's natural, Eunuch Wang is openly honest, I'm also willing to be honest."

Wang Zhi looked at him for a long time before he said, "So, this case has nothing to do with Wu-shi...?"

Tang Fan said what he had deduced about Wu-shi, and then said, "It really has nothing to do with her, maybe we need to go in a different direction, starting from the Han Family's side."

Wang Zhi said, "About the cause of Han Zao's death, is it because of the moisture point?"




Tang Fan said: "It's confirmed."

Wang Zhi said: "When the Han family heard the news, they came to His Majesty to express their feelings and wanted to return Han Zao's body to be buried with a coffin. You know, Han Fang was His Majesty's teacher and His Majesty is a soft-hearted man, but their request was agreed to. If Han Zao's death is related to the Han family, we can go along with it, maybe the murderer will do something about Han Zao's body, and then we'll catch a turtle in a jar. How about that?"

Tang Fan said it was not good, but he and Eunuch Wang had just entered into a ceasefire agreement, and must not irritate each other any more, or he would be angry and angry, and would run to the Noble Consort Wan to sue in front of him, and that would not be good. So Tang Da-ren was busy thumbs up, along with Eunuch Wang's brush, showing his approval: "high! This move is really high! Eunuch Wang is worthy of Eunuch Wang!"

Wang Zhi Hey Hey sneered: "Fake! It's too fake!"

Tang Fan:"..."

Wang Zhi squinted at him, "Do you know how people outside pat me on the back, how it is?

Tang Da-ren is humble and learned: "I'd like to hear about it."

Wang Zhi said proudly, "I was ordered to go to the capital for business last year, and was greeted by all the people there, and the local magistrate saw me coming, with dust on my shoes, and because they had only wine and water on hand to greet me, and nothing else, he let me sit down first, and then he took off my boots, and licked the dust off my boots, and put them on for me himself. Tang Runqing, will you get any like him?"

With Wang Zhi's holy dependence and power, the magistrate had to go to great lengths to lower his posture in order to curry favor with him, though it sounded horrible, it would be worth it if he could take Eunuch Wang's lap.

Tang Da-ren's reflex arc was a bit long, and only after a moment did he say, "Spit!".

Wang Zhi:"..."

Tang Fan said: "The boots were stained with spit, Eunuch Wang had worn them all the way, although the cowhide was quite thick, but if the other party had consumption or something, the spit hung on the boots with yellow spit, and because the boots were black, it was not visible....."

He was analyzing it seriously, his focus had long been skewed to the sky.

Wang Zhi couldn't help but shout: "Tang Runqing, what's going on in your head!

Tang Da-ren looked back with innocent eyes.

Wang Zhi wanted to show off the other people's compliments to himself, and knocked and knocked Tang Fan, only to be disgusted by his words, and for no reason at all.

"It's bad luck to talk to you!" Eunuch Wang said angrily, wiping his sleeve and leaving, leaving Tang Fan directly behind, not caring whether he could keep up or not.

Tang Da-ren shouted slowly behind him: "Oops, Eunuch Wang, don't go so fast, I'm too old to keep up!”

This case happened in the Eastern Palace, and it is a very important matter... every move is watched by people... even the Prince of Heaven is also concerned about this case... although Tang Fan is in charge of the Emperor, his rank is still there... he can't be seen by the Emperor just because he wants to... Wang Zhi plays a very important role at this time... although he is not the main investigator... but he can speak to the Emperor and the Noble Consort Wan at any time...

Although he wasn't the main investigator, he could speak to the Emperor and the Noble Consort Wan, and he could see them at any time, and he was the contact between the Emperor and Tang Fan.

Now the preliminary investigation may not have much to do with the palace, everyone is relieved, the emperor is also satisfied with the result, neither his beloved woman is involved, nor does it need to start a court storm, although some of his teachers, but this is really the best result, the emperor is very happy with the result.

The emperor agreed to the request of the Han family very quickly asked Wang Zhi to send Han Zao's body back to them on the prince's side, Tang Fan was to report the result after hearing that Wu-shi had nothing to do with it, the prince was also very happy thanked Tang Fan personally.

Tang Fan laughed: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to say thank you, as the murderer has yet to be revealed, and there are still a lot of suspicions, so I can only say that it may not have anything to do with the palace.

The prince smiled shyly, "I know, this matter must have put a lot of pressure on the Prefect Tang, and if we can really find out who killed Little Zao, I will naturally thank the Prefect Tang!

Although he was young, he had an insight that was beyond his years.

The Prince was not a poor man's child, but he had suffered many hardships in his early years, and had survived, but they were even more difficult than the children of ordinary poor people, and the son of Princess Ba Xian had been crowned Prince, and had died inexplicably within two years.

Tang Fan said, "In detail, Eunuch Wang was ordered to assist in the investigation of this case, and he also did his best for it, no less than I did, and in the case of Han Zao, your consort had some doubts about the Eastern Palace, thanks to Eunuch Wang's efforts to clarify it in front of His Majesty and your consort.

Wang Zhi, do your best for what? Is it to make a good impression on the Crown Prince?

That being the case, Tang Fan was very happy to do a favor to the Prince.

Wang Zhi did not expect Tang Fan to be so pleased with himself, he quickly bowed to the Prince and said: "I dare not claim to have worked hard, it is just to comfort the dead, find out the truth, so that His Majesty, His Royal Highness can rest assured!"

Usually, eunuch court maids were to call themselves servants, but by the time Wang Zhi Shang Ming came to their position, they were no longer lowly, the court maids were comparable to the others, even the emperor had to call them inner courtiers, they could naturally call themselves courtiers like the courtiers outside.

The prince knew that Wang Zhi was the Noble Consort Wan's man, the Noble Consort Wan hated himself, he also knew that.

When Han Zao happened, many people thought that the Noble Consort Wan did it, and the Noble Consort Wan also suspected that the Crown Prince had planted the blame on himself, so it was a great favor for Wang Zhi to explain in front of the Noble Consort Wan, so that the Noble Consort Wan would be relieved of his doubts.

The Crown Prince was astonished, and said: "You are too modest, you have done your duty, and I have often heard of this case from my father, and you must take care of it!

Wang Zhi said: "Your Highness has entrusted me with this, how dare I neglect you, I will do my best to listen!"

Out of the East Palace, Wang Zhi had a smile on his face: "OK, Runqing, I really did not misjudge you, righteous!"

See, when I was angry before, I shouted my name, now I'm shouting my name again, Eunuch Wang's face is much faster than a book.

Tang Fan said: " Eunuch Wang, look at the sky, it's still cloudy, how come it's clearing up now, it's really June day, it's just a change!

Wang Zhi laughed and nudged him: "I'm generous, I don't care about you, try telling this to Shang Ming, make sure he holds a grudge and make you cry!"

Tang Fan said, "How else can I get along with Eunuch Wang, instead of Shang Ming? That's like splitting people into groups!"

Wang Zhi can't do anything about him, how can anyone praise himself?

You say Tang Fan doesn't think twice about what he says, but every word he says has a deep meaning and is funny and witty, he seems to offend people, but not really offend them, even Wang Zhi is sometimes angry and annoyed, but he can't resist to provoke him, he doesn't even see other people, so he is willing to quarrel with Tang Fan.




He has to be careful with his words and actions, or he has to guard against other people's calculations, or he has to calculate others. In this way, it was relaxing to have a few words with Tang Fan, and it was also a pleasure.

They didn't waste any time after leaving the palace, they went straight to the Han house.

With the emperor's permission, the Han family just retrieved Han Zao's body from the Western Depot, and was about to give him a funeral service.

Wang Zhi's identity was there with the Emperor's order no one dared to be negligent Han Qi led the family to open the middle door to greet him but as Han Zao's parents Han Fang and Lin-shi were not there the representative of the second house was Han Hui, Han Fang's adopted son, Han Hui.

Han Hui was a weak champion in his youth, more than ten years ago, Lin-shi had just married Han Fang for a few years, because he was childless, and Han Fang refused to repudiate his wife or take concubine, Zhou-shi let Han Fang and Lin-shi recognize Han Hui of the same clan as his adopted son.

Han Qi carefully apologized to Wang Zhi while smiling bitterly: "After hearing about A-Zao's case, Mr. and Mrs. were very excited were both bedridden after Han Zao's body was brought back yesterday, Lin-shi got up again despite the dissuasion, he tried to keep a vigil for him as a result, he fell ill again this morning asked Eunuch Wang Mr. Tang to sit down for a while, I will ask them to come and see him."

 Han Yu is now an official in a foreign country, Han Qi is now 60 years old, he is less fortunate than his two sons, he was only the head of a small department of before, seeing that he is old, he has no hope of promotion, so he resigned and stayed at home to take care of himself, although both sons have official positions, the second son Han Fang was once a teacher of the emperor, but that was still the case, not to mention being a teacher of the emperor, even if his son is now the official secretary of the real power.

Although both sons have official positions in their lives, the second son Han Fang was once the teacher of the emperor, but that was also the past, not to mention the emperor's teacher, even if the son is now the official secretary of the real power, Han Qi would not dare to offend Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi waved his hand: "No need to do so, it's important to investigate the case, if necessary, we'll come and ask for their condolences in person. We have come to offer our condolences, so we will take a walk around the house, please find someone to show us the way around, and please let your family know beforehand, so as not to be disturbed for any reason."

Although he was young, he was quite majestic, dressed in a gorgeous unicorn suit, his hands were unmistakable, and his femininity was instantly transformed into a bully, and in front of the powerful Wang Gong, the Han fFamily slowed down even their breathing.

In contrast, Tang Fan was a mere addition that sat there as an accompaniment.

However, Tang Fan was naturally indifferent to it, on the contrary, he enjoyed himself, occasionally, he followed along with a few words, most of the time, he just watched Eunuch Wang the Han family socializing, he was not afraid of the Wang Zhi's words, the Han family was not afraid of them.

The Han family naturally responded to Wang Zhi's words, and then sent Han Hui out, and told the Han family to cooperate with the investigation, so as not to run over Wang Zhi and Tang Fan.

Eunuch Wang was impatient to talk to Han Qi more, Han Qi also felt uncomfortable with Eunuch Wang, with Han Hui present, Han Qi avoided them, they were more comfortable with each other.

Han Zao died at a young age, which was different from Zheng Cheng's. It was not appropriate to make a big deal of the funeral, except for Han Hui and the subordinates of the second house, who were all sad, but they had no influence on Han Qi and Zhou-shi. it could be seen that the relation between the m was a bit mediocre.

He asked Tang Fan: "Where do you Da-ren want to start, I can take you there.

Han Hui was a well-mannered young man, not tall in stature, but soft and courteous in his speech. When he heard that his younger brother had died early, he took leave from the Imperial Court to come back. Now Han Fang and Lin-shi can’t take care of anything. Most of the funerals inside and outside were cooked with the help of his servants. After a day, his face was haggard and his eyes were flushed.

Tang Fan asked: " Han Zao is the young grandson of the Han family and should be very noble why I see your grandparents faces are not very sad ".

Han Hui laughed bitterly: "I shouldn't have said this, since Da-ren asked about it, I had to tell him the truth. Grandfather and grandmother didn't like my mother, so they were rather cold to Little Zao, but in contrast, they loved my cousin from my eldest uncle's side more."

Tang Fan said, "How is your grandparents' relationship with your father?"

Han Hui hesitantly said: "From my observation, it seems to be mediocre as well."

Tang Fan turned to ask, " When Han Zao left for the palace that day, who was in charge of escorting him?"

Han Hui regretted, "I was studying in the Imperial College, and I used to send Little Zao to the palace, but that day I had the exams, so I didn't go home the night before, and stayed directly in the Imperial College, and Little Zao's schoolboy sent him to the palace. It's all my fault, if I had sent him to the palace as usual that day, that might not have happened."

Tang Fan said, "You have a good relationship with Han Zao?"

Han Hui sighed, "Yes, I am about ten years older than Little Zao, he can be said to be my watcher and grow up, in the day-to-day because other people in the house do not like Little Zao Zao very much, he always likes to pester me alone..."

Tang Fan interrupted him: "Who doesn't like him?"

Han Hui said, "My grandparents, the people in the long room didn't like Little Zao, my mother was very fond of Little Zao, but she.........."

Han Hui didn't say any more, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Tang Fan said: " Han Zao's school attendant servant can be in?"




Han Hui nodded, saying, "Yes, it's just that after Han Zao accident, my mother ordered him to be locked up in the woodshed, not to be given food, or I gave him some secretly, otherwise he would have starved to death. But he is now guarded by my mother's men, and if you wish to see him, will you go and see my mother first, or if she blames me, I am afraid I cannot bear it."

Eunuch Wang has never asked anyone who is not related to his work, and if it is Han Fang, he has to give some face, after all, he was the teacher of the Chenghua Emperor, but for Lin-shi, he does not have a good face anymore: "Ignorant woman, we are ordered to investigate the case, how can she say anything? Just bring the boy here"

Tang Fan said, "Eunuch Wang should be a little bit better, Lin-shi is the mother of Han Zao, and the wife of Young Master Han, we should go and pay our respects."

Wang Zhi gave him a glance, and didn't object.

Han Hui could see that the two Da-ren in front of him, the eunuch Wang was higher, but when investigating the case, Tang Fan was the main one he smiled gratefully at Tang Fan: "Those two please come with me".

He smiled gratefully at Tang Fan: "Those two please come with me."

Led by Han Hui, Tang Fan and Wang Zhi came to the main house of the second room, and Han Fang heard that they came and received them with sickness, and he was really pale and sick.

"My son died tragically, His Majesty has been kind enough to order an investigation, you both have worked hard, I am very grateful!"

They followed the greetings and polite words, and Tang Fan asked about the school attendant servant being locked up by Lin-shi's order.

Han Fang laughed bitterly and said, "I am ashamed to say that after marrying me back then, I had to suffer a lot of hardships, I was too busy at that time, and I didn't care about the affairs of the inner house. It's my fault to her!"

Jun Ji is the nickname for Han Hui.

Tang Fan said: "In that case, your wife's relationship with the women in your family doesn't seem to be very good..."

Han Fang sighed: "Yes, because of the feud in the past years, Zhou Jing had some disagreements with my mother and brother and sister."

It seems that what Wang Zhi said before was right about the Han family, from the words of Han Fang and Han Hui, Tang Fan can easily portray the image of a woman with a narrow temperament, it's difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, because there are so many people who have a grudge against Lin-shi, so it's not surprising if one of them would kill Han Zao in order to get back at her, so Tang Fan said, "We want to meet the school attendant servant first."

Tang Fan said: "We want to meet the school attendant servant first."

Han Fang said, "Zhou Jing is recuperating in the back room, let me tell her first, please wait."

He could have made his own decision on a trivial matter, but he said he had to ask his wife first, and he was so afraid of her, Lin-shi, although he didn't have a good relationship with the rest of the Han family, he had Han Fang's heart, and he hadn't taken a concubine so far, so he had something to offer.

Tang Fan said: "Since we are here, let's go with Master Han to visit your wife."

Han Fang said: "Yes."

A few people came to the back room, Han Fang asked the maid outside: "Is the Madam here?"

The servant girl replied: "The Madam is resting inside."

As soon as the words were out, an inquiry came from inside: "Who's out there?"

The maidservants were busy lifting the curtain and speaking inside: "Sister, it's the master coming, and some Da-ren, said they want to ask the young master about the matter."

After a while, the inside man responded, "Come in."

Tang Fan, they followed Han Fang and walked in, around the screen, saw a middle-aged woman half lying on the bed, was about to lift the covers off the bed, and an old woman was serving next to her.

Han Fang quickly went up to stop him: "You are not well, just lie down. This is the Western Depot Eunuch Wang, and the Shuntian Prefecture Prefect Tang, they came to investigate the case of A-Zao's death by His Majesty's order, and wanted to meet A-Zao's school attendant servant."

Tang Fan also said, "If you are not feeling well, you don't have to get up, we just came to say hello."

Lin-shi, though she was in her thirties, still had the charm of a woman of her choice, no wonder Han Fang had been devoted to her all these years, only her face was slightly yellow, and a gloomy look lingered between her brows.

"For the sake of my son's affairs, I'm sorry to trouble you Da-ren, I'm really sorry..." Lin-shi said, her words were still gentle and decent, but when she suddenly saw Han Hui standing behind Han Fang, her face changed suddenly.

"Who let you in!" Lin-shi glared at Han Hui and shouted.

Han Fang: "Wife..."

Lin-shi also ignored him and stared at Han Hui, resentfully saying, "Get out, do you hear me! It's not enough for you to kill your brother, you want to hurt me again?!"

Han Hui was at a loss: "Mother..."

Lin-shi shouted, "I don't have a son like you! You could have sent Little Zao to the palace that day, why didn't you! You did it on purpose, didn't you! You wanted Little Zao to die, so you're the only son in the second house! I'm telling you, don't think too highly of me! I never gave birth to you, you go to that old pious woman, she sent you to the Han family, and you go and be his son!"

Han Fang couldn't help but shout, "Wife!" as she spoke less and less.

Lin-shi was gasping for air, had an emotional breakdown, pounding her chest and crying and screaming: "Morning! Little Zao Morning! Mother's heart! You died so badly! Who was so cruel to you! It was Zhou-shi or Wang-shi... You've got a dream for me! When I've avenged you, I'll go down and stay with you! My son!"

The woman's sharp cries pierced her eardrums, and Tang Fan couldn't help but frown at them, and Eunuch Wang couldn't take it anymore, and just dropped the words "I don't know what to do", and turned around and left.

Han Hui hastily followed him to avoid going out, Tang Fan had no choice, looking at Han Fang there to persuade his wife, slowly persuaded her to stop, without asking any more, turned around and went out.

When Tang Fan came out, he saw Wang Zhi and other people standing in the courtyard, Han Hui was giving him a bow and a salute, when he saw Tang Fan come out, Han Hui laughed bitterly at him: "Please Da-ren forgive me, ever since a few years ago, my mother's spirit has not been very good, sometimes when she is suddenly stimulated, she will have a seizure, her relatives will not be recognize d by her!

It can be seen from his smile that Han Hui must have suffered a lot in his life, and what Lin-shi said just now was really hard on the heart, even though he was provoked to say whatever he wanted to say, but those words always contained a little bit of subconscious truth, right? The adoptive mother thought of herself in this way, Han Hui really didn't know what it was like, even Tang Fan could not help but feel indignant for Han Hui after hearing it.

Tang Fan, they naturally did not know that there was a very graphic description of Lin-shi's symptoms in later life, which was called victim paranoia, that is to say, she was always imagining that someone was trying to harm herself, and felt that she was an enemy on all sides, Zhou-shi, Wang-shi, Han Hui, all of them were included in her imaginary enemy.




Judging from the careful behavior of the maids in Lin-shi's room just now, Lin-shi probably has not had many such attacks in her life, has a very bad temperament, and can often hit things. If Tang Fan was right, this should be Lin-shi's illness after she married into the Han family, she suppressed it day and night, Han Fang felt ashamed of his wife, so he let her have it all these years.

He asked Han Hui: "How long has she been in this condition?"

As it turns out, Han Hui said: "I don't remember much either, it's been like this since I was a child my mother thought I was forced on her by my grandmother so she didn't like me much it wasn't until Little Zao was born that the situation got much better but in the first few years because of my aunt's affair......."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Tang Fan, they looked at each other, didn't say anymore.

Tang Fan: "Why not say more?"

Han Hui laughed bitterly: "It's actually my mother who is making a big issue of it... My grandmother's niece, my father's cousin, came to the capital to join us after she was widowed, and lived in the Han family. My grandmother once wanted my father to give up my mother and marry her, but my father refused."

Tang Fan nodded, he had already heard Wang Zhi say this: "Then what?"

Han Hui said: "My father didn't want to be a concubine, and my aunt Zhou didn't want to be a concubine either, so no one talked about it anymore, but somehow my mother found out about it, and as a result, she made a lot of trouble with her aunt Zhou, and she was so angry and ashamed that she almost died. Because of that incident, my mother became more and more narrow-minded and restrained Little Zao, because Auntie Zhou was nice to Little Zao, Little Zao was willing to play with her, but after my mother found out, she strictly forbade Little Zao to go to Auntie Zhou, and also forbade him to go to my uncle's yard..."

It was all a bunch of messy family stuff, and Han Hui was getting embarrassed the more he said it, especially since it was all about his elders.

"... That's about it... All in all, as you can see, my mother is now more and more irritated, feeling that people don't like her, and now that Little Zao is dead, she's even more.........."

Han Hui had a sad look on his face.

Tang Fan patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard for you!"

Han Hui shook his head, "It's nothing, you two Da-ren don't want to see Little Zao's school attendant servant, I'll take you there."
