Chapter 510: Chapter 511: Step by Step
Han Xuzi didn’t refuse and led the two children leisurely towards the study, inquiring about the occurrences along the way. Han Tianci skirted around the more serious matters and didn’t tell him about the incidents at the Moon-Watching Sect, simply saying, "Ask Sister."
Yun Jinnian, however, didn’t hide anything and carefully recounted the events one by one.
Then Han Xuzi said, "Now that you mention it, I do recall that your great-grandmother indeed came from Nanjiang, but she passed away not long after giving birth to me, leaving me with scant memories of her. There’s very little in the house pertaining to her, virtually nothing at all!"
"My great-grandmother intended to conceal her past, bringing very few things with her to the Capital City. Grandfather, I’ve now agreed to become the Moon-Watching Sect’s Saintess. Once the matters in the Capital City are resolved, I..."
Yun Jinnian intended to say she would go to Nanjiang, but then there was Chu Yu.
His heart was so vast.
In truth, it wasn’t that Chu Yu’s heart was vast, feeling obligated to this earthly realm. Rather, the Emperor didn’t leave him any room, with assassination attempts even on the journey back to the Capital City.
Past assassination attempts were too numerous to count.
In the royal family, the bond between brothers was as fragile as paper.
Yun Jinnian also thought of her own relationships with the Yun Family and couldn’t help but sigh; she and Chu Yu were always being let down.
"Do you want to go to Nanjiang?" Han Xuzi asked.
Yun Jinnian shook her head, "I’m not sure yet!"
"If you truly grow weary of the Capital City, then go. I can tell those three old men treat you well!"
With utmost respect and amiability, upon arriving at the Han Family, and after arranging accommodations, they didn’t come out again.
The maids, old women, and young servants attending to them all said they were very easy to get along with.
"Mm, I will seriously consider it!"
They entered the study.
Only then did Han Xuzi ask, "How is Old Madam Dai’s health?"
"Very good, fundamentally out of danger by now. As for the Duan Family, they are likely in great trouble!"
Han Xuzi did not expect Yun Jinnian to see so clearly.
He nodded and said, "That is also why I refused to treat the members of the Duan Family!"
"?" Yun Jinnian silently looked at Han Xuzi.
Han Tianci also pricked up his ears, listening intently.
He hadn’t been to the Duan Family and was unaware of the situation, but he was eager to hear some gossip.
"The entire Duan Family is poisoned, and the poison all comes from Poison King Valley!"
Yun Jinnian was unaware of the matters regarding Poison King Valley.
Han Xuzi continued, "To this day, no one knows how many people Poison King Valley has or where it is located. The mere mention of Poison King Valley, however, has been around for many years. Poison King Valley sometimes emerges to sell poisons, which are incredibly expensive, and a tragedy like the Duan Family’s is unheard of!"
Yun Jinnian fell silent for a moment before saying, "Grandfather, if it weren’t for Sister Ruan, the lives of the Duan Family would have no relation to me. But since Sister Ruan married into the Duan Family, I only sought to cure her and Brother-in-law Duan of their poison, ignoring the others. I cannot be so unrighteous. Besides, as a doctor, I cannot stand idly by and watch others die; I just can’t do it!"
Han Xuzi opened his mouth as if to say something, but Han Tianci spoke first, "I support Sister!"
Han Xuzi laughed, "The two of you siblings are indeed of one mind!"
Indeed, exceedingly proud.
His granddaughter’s medical skills were unmatched, already far surpassing his own.
She also had a benevolent heart, which was a good thing.
His grandson was also sensible. On this journey back, he had grown taller, become more mature, developed his own ideas, and handled himself in the world with the shrewdness and wisdom that truly only the life of wanderer could provide.
Yun Jinnian’s smile was gentle, while Han Tianci’s laughter was hearty and carefree.
Han Xuzi was becoming increasingly gentle and compassionate, "Since you’ve made your decision, go ahead as you see fit. From now on, take more people with you when you go out. Tianci, your Martial Arts practice must not be neglected. Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable; you both can’t just focus on Medical Books, you need to study poison production as well. Tianci, follow your sister’s side from now on, observe more, learn more!"
