Han Hui regretted, "I was studying in the Imperial College. On weekdays, I usually sent Xiao Zao to the palace, but that day was about to take the exam, so I didn't go home the night before, so I stayed in the Imperial College, and Xiao Zao's book boy 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 said sadly: "Yes, I am about ten years older than Xiaozao. He can be said to have grown up because I watched him grow up. On weekdays, because no one in the mansion likes Xiaozao very much, he always likes to pester me..."

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

Han Hui said: "My grandfather and grandmother, no one in the long house likes Xiao Zao very much. Although my mother spoils Xiao Zao very much, she..."

Han Hui didn't say anything further, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Tang Fan said: "Will Han Zao's book boy be there?"

Han Hui nodded and said, "It's just that after Xiaozao's accident, my mother ordered someone to lock him in the woodshed and refused to give him food. I secretly gave him some, otherwise he would have starved to death. But he is now guarded by my mother's people. If you want to see him, can you see my mother first? Otherwise, if my mother blames me, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

When Eunuch Wang is doing things, he will ask irrelevant people. If it is the Korean side, he will give him some face. After all, he once served as the teacher of Emperor Chenghua, but he did not have so many good looks for Lin: "Ignorance woman, I am ordered to investigate the case, so how can she let her talk? No need to see her. Just go and bring the book boy over to see us!"

Tang Fan said, "Mr. Wang is a little safe. Lin is Han Zao's mother and Han Shaofu's wife. It is also our duty to go and have a visit."

Wang gave him a straight look and did not object.

Han Hui could see that the two adults in front of him were eunuch Wang, but when investigating the case, Tang Fan was the main one.

He smiled gratefully to Tang Fan: "Please follow me, those two."

Under Han Hui's leadership, Tang Fan and Wang Zhi came to the main house where they lived in the second house. When the Korean side heard that they were coming, they got up with illness and received the two of them. He was indeed pale and had a sick look.

"My son died tragically. The Lord God has ordered an investigation. Thank you for your hard work, I am really grateful!"

They exchanged polite words, and Tang Fan asked about Shutong being locked up by Lin's order.

Han Fang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm ashamed that Zhujing suffered a lot after marrying me. At that time, I was busy all day long and didn't care about the affairs of the inner house. When I found out that she was depressed and so extreme, it was already a little late. Fortunately, I had Junji and gave birth to Ao Zao, so Zhujing gradually got much better. It was me who had to let her down!"

Junji is Han Hui's name.

Tang Fan said: "In this way, the relationship between Mrs. Zun and the female family members in the family does not seem to be very good?"

The Korean side sighed: "Yes, because of the grievances in previous years, Zhuo Jing and my mother, brother and sister-in-law were both in conflict."

It seems that what Wang Zhi said before was right about the Han family. From the words of Han and Han Hui, it is not difficult for Tang Fan to outline the image of a narrow-minded woman. It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs. It is precisely because there are too many people who have grudges with Lin, so it would not be surprising if someone attacked Han Zao in order to revenge her.

Tang Fan said, "We want to meet that book boy first."

Han Fang said: "Zhujing is in the main hall behind to recuperate. When I go and talk to her first, let's wait."

A small matter he could have made a decision, but he said he had to ask his wife first, and he was so afraid of it. Although Lin had a bad relationship with other members of the Han family, the Han side treated her sincerely and had not taken a concubine yet, so she could be said to be willing to give up.

Tang Fan said: "Since we have arrived, let's go to visit Mrs. Han with Young Master Han."

The Korean side said: "Okay."

Several people came to the back room, and the Korean side asked the maid outside: "Madam, can you be there?"

The maid answered, "Madam is resting inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, a question came from inside: "Who is outside?"

The maid quickly lifted the curtain and spoke in it: "Madam, it's the master who is here, and there are several adults who say they want to ask Young Master Zao about it."

After a while, the inside responded: "Please come in."

Tang Fan and the others followed the Korean side and walked in. Bypassing the screen, they saw a middle-aged woman half lying on the bed, about to lift the quilt off the bed, and there was an old woman serving next to her.

The Korean side hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said, "If you are in poor health, just lie down. This is Mr. Wang of Xichang and the Tang Prosecutor of Shuntian Prefecture. They came to investigate the death of Azao on his order and wanted to meet Azao's book boy."

Tang Fan also said: "If your wife is unwell, you don't have to get up. I'll just come over and say hello."

Although Lin is in her thirties, she is still charming and her appearance is the best choice. No wonder the Korean side has been obsessed with her over the years, but her face looks a little yellow, and there is a gloomy color between her eyebrows.

"For my son's sake, I was so sorry for the two adults who were running around, and I was really sorry..." Lin said, his words were quite gentle and decent, but when she saw her suddenly see Han Hui standing behind Han Fang, her face changed suddenly.

"Who asked you to come in!" Lin shouted sternly at Han Hui.

Korean side: "Xuanniang..."

Lin Shili ignored him and stared at Han Hui, saying resentfully: "Go out, don't you hear it! It's not enough for you to kill your brother, you want to harm me again?!"

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

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? You did it on purpose, right? You thought about letting Xiao Zao die, you are the only son of the second wife! I tell you, don't think too beautifully! I have never given you, you go to the old pious wife, she asked you to come to the Han family, and you go and be your son for him!"

Seeing that the more she spoke, the more she became more distorted, the Korean side couldn't help but shout: "Xuanniang!"

Lin was gasping for a moment, his emotions collapsed instantly, and he beat his chest and cried and shouted: "Xiao Zao! Xiao Zao! Mom's heart! You die so miserable! Who is so cruel to harm you! Is it Zhou or Wang? As long as you avenge you, Mom will go down to accompany you! My son!"

The woman's sharp crying screams harshly made Tang Fan frown, and Eunuch Wang couldn't help but frown. He left a sentence "I don't know what's up", turned around and threw out his sleeves and went out.

Han Hui hurriedly followed him and avoided him. Tang Fan had no choice but to watch Han Fang swearing his wife in a soft voice, slowly persuaded her to calm down, and didn't ask anything more, and turned around and went out.

Tang Fan left the inner room and saw Wang Zhi and others standing in the yard. Han Hui was bowing and apologizing to him. When he saw Tang Fan coming out, Han Hui smiled bitterly at him: "Please forgive me. Since a few years ago, my mother has been in a bad spirit. Sometimes she suddenly feels irritated and will start to get angry, and her relatives don't recognize her!"

From his smile, we can see that Han Hui must have suffered a lot of injuries, and what Lin said just now was really touching. Although he was stimulated to speak without any choice, those words always contain a bit of subconscious sincerity, right? The adoptive mother actually looked at him like this. Han Hui really didn't know what it felt in his heart. Even Tang Fan couldn't help feeling unfair for Han Hui when he heard it.

Tang Fan and the others naturally did not know that later generations had a very vivid description of Lin's symptoms, called paranoia for being killed, which means that she fantasized about someone trying to harm her, and felt that enemies were everywhere, including Zhou, Wang, and Han Hui, all of whom were listed as imaginary enemies by her.

Judging from the careful performance of the maids and nannies in Lin's room just now, Lin probably had many attacks like this, with a very poor temper and often slamming things. If Tang Fan was not wrong, this should be the disease that Lin had developed after marrying into the Han family day and night. The Korean side felt ashamed of his wife, so he had been giving in to her for so many years.

He asked Han Hui: "How long has this situation lasted?"

Sure enough, Han Hui said: "I don't remember much. It has been like this since I was a child. My mother thought I was forced to give it to her by my grandmother, so she didn't like me very much. It was not until Xiaoxiao was born that this situation improved a lot, but a few years ago, because of my aunt's affairs..."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Tang Fan and the others, and did not continue to say anything.

Tang Fan: "Why don't you say it?"

Han Hui smiled bitterly and said, "This is actually my mother who is catching up on the wind and shadows... My grandmother's niece, my father's cousin, came to Beijing to join us after being widowed and lived in the Han family. My grandmother once wanted my father to divorce her and then marry her, but my father refused."

Tang Fan nodded. He had heard Wang Zhi say this: "What about it?"

Han Hui said: "My father doesn't want to take a concubine, and my aunt Zhou doesn't want to commit herself as a concubine, so no one mentioned this again. But somehow my mother found out, but she went to Aunt Zhou to make a lot of trouble, which made Aunt Zhou feel embarrassed and angry at that time, and almost seeking death. Because of that incident, my mother's temperament became more and more narrow-minded and had more restrictions on Xiaozao, because Aunt Zhou is very nice to Xiaozao, and Xiaozao is willing to play with her. But after my mother found out, she strictly prohibited Xiaozao from going to Aunt Zhou, and did not allow him to go to the yard of my uncle and his uncle..."

This is all a bunch of messy family affairs, and Han Hui is getting embarrassed the more he talks, especially the people he talks about are his elders.

"...It's roughly like that. In short, you have also seen that my mother is now becoming more and more irritating. She always feels that others have bad intentions towards her. Now that Xiaozao dies, she will be even more..."

Han Hui showed a sad look on his face.

Tang Fan patted his shoulder: "It's hard for you!"

Han Hui shook his head: "It's nothing. Don't you want to meet Xiaozao's book boy? I'll take you there."
