Chapter 45 Reporting the News

  Eldest Daughter Returns

  Mr. and Mrs. Han Qi didn't know the real reason for Han Jiangxue's worries, but they understood the simplest truth in human relationships, so they nodded one after another to ask Han Jiangxue to rest assured, and then the couple happily went back first.

  On the other side, Han Xue had indeed mentioned Han Qi's matter to him long ago, so there was no need to say more. Now, she had to find a suitable time to go and talk to her father, not only to introduce Han Qi but also to take advantage of Han Qi being suppressed by Liu Shi to bring out the things Mo Li gave her last time and hand them over to her father, formally exposing all the so-called accidents that had happened to the Han family in recent years.

  It's a matter of the Han family's survival and prosperity, so Father naturally can't ignore such a big thing and will definitely secretly investigate with all his might. Even if there is no direct evidence to prove that Liu is the mastermind behind these accidents for now, once he starts investigating seriously, it's impossible for the Han family not to find anything with their power.

  There's no wall in this world that doesn't leak, let alone so many "accidents" and she didn't believe Liu could really do it without leaving a single trace. At that time, she would like to see how Liu could wash himself clean!

  In the late afternoon, Han Jiangxue was about to go see her elder brother when she saw He Yiniang from the tea house being hastily led in by Zi Yue, saying that there was an urgent matter to report.

  He Nainai is an old-timer in the Han family. She has been working for the Hans since the time of Jiang Snow's mother, and more than a decade has passed, but He Nainai hasn't changed much at all.

  This person has been in the Han family for many years and hasn't been very noticeable, except for handling the tea house affairs properly. In all these years, except when meeting Han Jiangxue in the mansion to pay respects and exchange greetings, he had never come alone to Han Jiangxue's courtyard on ordinary days.

  So when he saw He Yayi, Han Jiangxue was also slightly surprised. And this He Yayi was quite efficient, making a courtesy call while immediately reporting to Han Jiangxue with a hint of urgency, without any unnecessary delay or idle chatter.

  "Miss and young master are being scolded by the old master in the front hall, it's almost time to use family law, you'd better think of a way to persuade the old master quickly!"

  Hearing this, Han Jiangxue hastily asked: "Auntie He, please speak slowly and tell me what's going on?"

  "Miss, the thing is, just now I was preparing to send tea water to the front hall, and outside I heard the accountant's big account telling Master that there were several unclear accounts in the past few months, all related to Young Master. Specifically, I didn't quite understand, but anyway, it meant that Young Master had taken away several large amounts of silver tickets on his own, and also made the accountant make false accounts. The accountant was afraid that after Master found out, he would be blamed, so he took the initiative to report this matter to Master."

  "It seems that there are almost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which makes the old master furious. Apart from the main account, two other witnesses also identified the young master. The young master was called by the old master to confront him face-to-face, but he only said that he didn't do it. However, the old master obviously didn't believe him, and the lady on the side added fuel to the fire, saying something about trusting the young master too much lately and needing to be more strict. This made the old master even angrier. The old master said that the young master was becoming more and more unrecognizable, being pointed out by so many people in front of him yet still not admitting it. This would make the young master kneel down and reflect on his actions, and if he still didn't admit it, they would have to invite the family rules to come and teach the young master a lesson."

  The old woman told the whole story in one breath, and then said: "Specifically, I'm not too clear either, but looking at Young Master's appearance doesn't seem to be a lie, it's probably 80% that he was wronged. The person next to Young Master seemed to want to come and inform you, but was stopped by the lady, saying that no one in the hall is allowed to enter or leave until things are completely clear. I saw that something was not right, so I secretly ran over to report to Miss."

  He Yiniang is not a fool, having stayed in the Han household for so many years, how could she not understand anything. The thing just now was directed at Liu Shi, not allowing anyone to enter or leave to report to the young lady, with an attitude that nine out of ten times Liu Shi had no good intentions.

  Although Liu has been a good housewife on the surface for many years, He Yini's heart is clear that this woman is not simple. And in more than half a year, He Yini has also seen the changes of the eldest lady with her own eyes. This eldest lady seems to have already figured out something, and now that the young master has been framed again, it is estimated that only the eldest lady can resolve the situation.

  Although she seemed to mind nothing and only did her own duty, in her heart, she was very concerned about the young master and the young lady, hoping they could all be safe and sound. Not to mention anything else, just for the kindness of the late madam towards her in those years, she couldn't ignore them.

  After hearing what He Yiniang said, Han Jiangxue immediately understood what had happened and didn't need to think about it to know that all of this was definitely Liu's doing. She naturally believed that her older brother wouldn't do something so stupid, not just now but also in the past.

  Their siblings would never do such sneaky things, let alone tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands; if they really needed to use it, they would only ask their father openly and honestly.

  As for the so-called accusations and witnesses, they must have been planned long ago. Those who dare to come forward with false testimony at the risk of framing Master are really tired of living!

  However, the more it is so, the more it shows that Liu is still unable to hold back his temper. He has been waiting for his elder brother to make a mistake, but since he couldn't wait any longer, he took matters into his own hands and dug a hole. It seems that the last bit of superficial relationship between him and his siblings can now be thoroughly and pleasantly discarded!

  "Thank you, Auntie, for coming to inform me. What you said is right, my elder brother would never do such a thing." Han Jiangxue stood up and said to He Aunty: "I will think of a way to handle this matter myself, you don't have to worry."

  "It's good that the young lady has made up her mind, I'd better hurry back, lest someone discovers us and it won't be good." He Yiniang saw that the young lady was still calm and composed at this moment, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that she should hurry back.

  Han Jiangxue immediately stood up and personally took two silver tickets from the small box in front of the dresser, handed them to He Yiniang, and said: "Yiniang, take this and hurry back."

  "No, no, no, young mistress! I'm not doing this for the silver!" Hei Tai Tai hastily shook her head and refused to accept it: "In the past when the madam was alive, she had been kind to me! I have no other thoughts, just don't want that unclean person to harm Young Master. From now on, if I can help Young Master and young mistress in any way, it would be my greatest joy!"

  "Snow understands the intention of Madam, and also accepted your kindness. After today's incident, please keep an eye on all the news big or small in the mansion for us siblings, so that our situation can be smooth sailing. This silver is not just for you alone, take it to treat others to tea and snacks, and use it for daily expenses, you can't afford to lose money yourself."

  Han Jiangxue said as she forcibly stuffed the silver ticket into He Xiaoyu's hand, her expression filled with extremely sincere gratitude.

  In this way, He Yiniang naturally understood Han Jiangxue's meaning and thought that this young lady was now clever and had a mind of her own, knowing how to think for herself. She felt extremely relieved in her heart. Therefore, she no longer declined and accepted the silver ticket, saying: "Don't worry, young lady, I know what to do and will not disappoint you."

  Having said that, He Yini bowed again to Han Jiangxue and then quickly left.

  After waiting for the old lady to leave, Han Jiangxue's expression turned serious. He instructed Zi Yue beside him a few times, and after the master and servant were ready, they set off immediately, hurrying towards the front hall.
