The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

mpact on her.
At most, her reputation wouldn't be very good, though.
But Yuxi had experienced all the wind and rains, that even this little gossip could not hurt her.

 

Han Jianye laughed bitterly.
“At that time, she cried a lot until she displayed a symptom of a near miscarriage.
It was a good thing that Yuxi was originally healthy.
Otherwise, the child's life might not have been saved.”

Han Jianming's eyes lit up as he asked, “Yuxi is pregnant?” Then dissatisfaction flashed on his face.
“Why didn't you write back home to inform us about such a big matter?”

 

Han Jianye answered, “It seems that there is a saying about not disclosing this matter to the public until the pregnancy reaches three months.” He forgot to tell his mother about this just now, and he probably would get scolded for it later on. [+]

 

Han Jianming also knows such a custom.
“It has been hard for her.
Married to a place like that, and without family members caring for her, everything must rely on herself.” If she had married in the capital, there would not have been so much turmoil.

 

When Han Jianye heard this, he said, “Dage do not need to worry about Yuxi.
That girl is now pretty popular.
Even Yun Qing is docile and obedient to her as if he has become a changed man.
The people in the barracks often joked about this, saying that a high-grade, well-tempered steel Yun Qing has turned soft and been wrapped around his wife's fingers!” When he spoke about this, there was a smile on his face.

 

Han Jianming was also relieved to hear this and nodded his head.
“That's good.” If Yun Qing cared so much about Yuxi, then he definitely wouldn't care about the rumours.
Not to mention that Yuxi was now pregnant, equivalent to her having an Imperial Sword.

 

After a pause, Han Jianming informed him, “After Grandmother's burial, San Shu will move out of the State Residence.
Father has also agreed with this matter.”

 

Hearing this, Han Jianye still couldn't help but ask, “Dage, why do you think that San Shu loves Yuchen and his other daughter so much but mistreats Yuxi?” Was that how a biological father should act? Those who didn't know their blood relationship would have thought they were enemies!

 

Even Han Jianming had no solution to this matter.
“When you have more children in the future, ensure the water inside the bowl you're holding is levelled and never show any favouritism.” They could not force Han Jingyan to change.
They could only make sure they did a much better job than him by not mistreating their children.

 

Han Jianye let out a rare sigh.
“It is fortunate that Yuxi has a strong nature.
If her place is replaced by ordinary people, I do not know what things will be like for that person.”

On the day of the burial, both Han Jingdong and Han Jingyan showed up.
A group of people sent the coffin back to the clan's hometown, which was in Fengtian.
The second day after arriving at the clan's hometown, the Great Old Lady Zhou was buried.

Looking at Han Jingyan, who was crying in front of the grave until he was about to faint, Han Jianming felt particularly ironic.
He must be planning to make people think he was a filial son.
Otherwise, why would he cry so sadly?

 

After the funeral, they stayed in the Han family's old home for a few more days.
After getting in touch with the other members of the clan, their group of people went back to the capital.
The first thing to do after returning would be to divide up the things left by Zhou Shi.

 

During the palace rebellion, Zhou Shi's courtyard had been ransacked by bandits.
Many valuable things had been stolen, especially gold and silver jewellery, leaving only a few.
But Zhou Shi had saved many good things over the years.
In addition to several thousand acres of good land, she had several stores in her hand.

 

Under normal circumstances, these things must be divided equally between the brothers.
Although Han Jianming had a knot in his heart when he had to deal with Han Jingyan, he was not such a cheapskate regarding money.
Besides, if the elder didn't leave any last words regarding her dowry, they would be divided equally between her sons, which was the default arrangement. Please read this chapter at xinshou blogspot com.

 

When Wen Shi saw that Han Jingyan did not say anything, she stood out with her swollen belly and said to Han Jiangming.
“My Mother-in-law left her last words before she died, saying she would leave her dowry to us.
How could you not remember such a big thing?”

 

Because Zhou Shi's dowry was to be divided, all the masters of the Han family, old and young, without any exception, were all there.
Thus, the whole house became dead silent when Wen Shi's words came out.

 

When Han Jianye heard this, his complexion changed.
He asked, “San Shen, did Grandmother really say that?” He didn't pay much attention to the farm and shop, but the way Wen Shi spoke made him very angry.

 

When Han Jingyan heard this, his face also turned very ugly.
His eyes fell on Wen Shi like a knife.
“Do you have the right to speak here? Shut up!”

 

Although Wen Shi's heart was a little afraid, when she thought of losing such a large sum of money, it felt like a knife was cutting through her flesh.
Moreover, this money would be her son's share in the future! At that moment, she boldly uttered, “This was what Mother-in-law said herself.
I'm not the only one who heard her at that time.
Even Yurong, Mother-in-law's maids and old women servants in the room also heard it.
My Lord, I know you love your brother and cherish your nephew, but this is Mother-in-law's dying wish.
You can't let her down.”

 

When Han Jianye heard this, he was so angry that he laughed.
“At first, I didn't understand how Grandmother could leave her last words of not allowing Yuxi to observe her mourning for her, but now I do! So that's how the so-called last words came about.”

 

Han Jingyan asked with a cold face, “What do you mean by that?”

 

Han Jianye was not stupid.
How could he go against Han Jingyan? No matter what, Han Jingyan was his elder, and he was just a junior.
“What can I mean? My Grandmother's behaviour before she died was different from the past.
In my understanding, Dage was my Grandmother's most beloved grandson, but she didn't even leave one thing aside for him, but left it all to San Shu.” Han Jianye was close to saying that Zhou Shi was sick and confused before she died and acted differently than when she was sober.
Of course, if one thought about this more, one would feel that this statement implied something as if someone was coveting Zhou Shi's dowry.
