The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Han heard the name Qian Jin, she reacted violently, and Wang Gang already knew what was going on.

"Uncle, I don't know any Qian Jin." Han hurriedly cleaned the table and put away the overturned teacup.

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just let the servants do it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Han retracted her hand in panic and forced a smile: "I wanted to make tea for my uncle myself, but I didn't expect that I was clumsy and made a mess."

Wang Gang called a maid from one of the elder brothers' courtyards and asked her to move all the tea sets away. Then he said to the elder sister-in-law, "You really don't know Qian Jin."

Han was a little annoyed and said angrily: "I said I don't know him."

Perhaps realizing that she was being rude, Han quickly said, "Uncle, I feel a little uncomfortable. Please go back!"

Wang Gang sat on the chair and showed no intention of leaving.

"I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time. Since I came home, we haven't had a chance to talk about the past alone." Wang Gang said with a smile: "I'll wait for my eldest brother to come back."

Han's eyes looked a little panicked, and she said, "The master is meeting a friend tonight, and may not be back until dawn."

Wang Gang asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know where my brother is meeting his friends? I will go find him."

Han shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Wang Gang said regretfully: "Then I will wait for him to come back."

Han said angrily: "Uncle, this is inconvenient! There are only women in the courtyard, and you will inevitably cause trouble if you stay overnight."

Wang Gang said seriously: "I really have something urgent to discuss with you, brother."

Han was stunned and asked, "Is it about Qian Jin?"

"That's right." Wang Gang leaned back in his chair and said, "I have something to ask about Qian Jin. I must ask Big Brother about it today."

Han's hands trembled when she heard this, and then she clenched her fingers tightly, her skin turned pale, and she looked very nervous.

Wang Gang said leisurely: "I originally thought that my sister-in-law knew Qian Jin. It turns out that my sister-in-law once invited a troupe of actors to perform at her home, and Qian Jin was one of the actors."

"Ah." Han was completely panicked and said anxiously: "I invited the troupe to perform just to celebrate the old lady's birthday. I don't usually come into contact with actors."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Why should you be nervous, sister-in-law? I didn't say that you have a personal relationship with Qian Jin."

Han wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a scarf and said to hide her nervousness: "I'm not nervous!"

Wang Gang raised his lips slightly and continued: "Qian Jin is quite talented. He is not only a good singer, but also a handsome man with many fans. It's a pity that he has a poor family background and can only be an actor in his life.

Sister-in-law, you may not know! The actor who seduced Chai Ruyi was Qian Jin. "

Han clenched her fingers tightly, pursed her lips and said, "Why is my uncle saying this?"

Wang Gang snorted coldly, "I just learned that Qian Jin seduced Chai Ruyi at someone's behest. It was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end, a conspiracy against me."

Han's breathing became heavier and she tried her best to suppress her nervousness, but Wang Gang could still sense her inner uneasiness from the way she kept moving her feet.

"Those two maids who used to serve in my courtyard were sold to the brothel by my sister-in-law, right?" Wang Gang suddenly asked.

Han's pupils shrank and she trembled and said, "My uncle saw them both."

Wang Gang said coldly: "Yes, Xiaorui and Huashu accused Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law of instructing Qian Jin to seduce Chai Ruyi and ruin my reputation."

"Bitch." Han said angrily, "Those two bitches are talking nonsense. They are restless and have seduced your eldest brother. Now they are trying to frame him. Uncle, you must not trust them. We are a family."

Wang Gang said coldly: "I naturally won't believe or listen to anything, so I came to ask my elder brother and sister-in-law for confirmation."

Han breathed a sigh of relief, but soon her heart began to tighten again.

"Xiao Rui said that she saw with her own eyes that Big Brother and Qian Jin were having a secret meeting and plotting something. There was another person who saw it with Xiao Rui at the time."

Han was horrified and shouted hurriedly: "Who, who saw it?"

Wang Gang glanced at the maids and servants around him.

Han quickly dismissed the servants, and then asked: "Uncle, you must not listen to the nonsense of outsiders. Your elder brother will never harm you."

Wang Gang stared into Han's eyes and said, "Sister-in-law! Do you still want to protect my brother? If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't come to you.

Before Qian Jin was beaten to death by the Chai family, he left a blood letter explaining everything. "

Han's eyes widened, she said in disbelief: "It's impossible, Qian Jin couldn't leave a blood letter, his whole family's lives are at stake..."

Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, Han quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

Wang Gang's face was as cold as ice, and he said without any emotion: "Sister-in-law, you really do know Qian Jin."

Han shook his head guiltily to deny it, but now he seemed very powerless.

Wang Gang stood up and said to Han in a cold voice: "Sister-in-law, come with me to see mother!"

"No." Han completely collapsed to the ground, pulling Wang Gang's trouser legs, begging bitterly: "Uncle, you must not tell mother!"

Wang Gang helped Han up and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want me not to tell mother, please confess everything. Otherwise, I will have to ask mother to make the decision."

Han looked confused and couldn't make up her mind. Wang Gang was not in a hurry either. He just sat there and said leisurely:
"Chai Ruyi is the apple of the Chai family's eye. If the Chai family knew that their daughter was murdered, my Wang family would have to bear the wrath of the Chai family, and my sister-in-law's family would not be able to stay out of it either!"

Han was finally moved and begged Wang Gang, "Uncle, no matter what, you must not let the Chai family know about this!"

Wang Gang said calmly: "Sister-in-law, I am in a difficult situation now. In fact, in the final analysis, I am also innocent. My fiancée cheated on me, and the culprits are still my elder brother and sister-in-law. Who can I go to for justice?"

Han said guiltily: "Uncle, I know you are suffering. It's all because of your brother's confusion."

Wang Gang said coldly: "I don't know whether my eldest brother is confused or not, but you are indeed stupid, sister-in-law. You actually accompanied my eldest brother in making trouble. You know that once the truth is exposed, the Wang family may even be in calamity."

Han was surprised and said, "Isn't the Chai family just a merchant family? The Wang family has been officials for three generations. Are they afraid of the Chai family?"

Wang Gang said: "The Chai family is not an ordinary merchant. They are descendants of the previous dynasty. They even have a red-lettered iron certificate granted by the Emperor Taizu! Although the Chai family has not been involved in officialdom, they have a close relationship with the palace. Otherwise, how could my Wang family marry into their family?"

Han was completely frightened now, she was in a state of trance and her eyes had lost their luster.

Wang Gang took the opportunity to challenge Han: "Sister-in-law, please tell me the whole story, otherwise I can't save you and your brother."

Han grabbed Wang Gang's arm in panic and said, "Uncle, I didn't know the consequences would be so serious! It was your eldest brother who forced me to help."

Wang Gang asked: "Did you find the actor Qian Jin?"

Han said intermittently: "Qian Jin and I have known each other since childhood. One time, I invited him to my house to perform an opera to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Your eldest brother insisted that I had an affair with Qian Jin and wanted to divorce me.

I agreed to help him because I was forced to do so! "(End of this chapter)
