The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Han's psychological defenses collapsed and he finally told Wang Yi what he had done. It was also the first time that Wang Gang realized that his elder brother was not as sickly as he had imagined.

The incident started a year and a half ago. In order to celebrate Wang Kang's birthday, Han invited a troupe familiar to the Han family to come to Wang's house to perform a play for Wang Kang's birthday.

Because the birthday banquet was organized by Han, she had more contact with the opera troupe, especially with the troupe's top star Qian Jin.

Han and Qian Jin have known each other for many years. It can be said that she has watched him grow from an apprentice to a mainstay, but the two have not had much contact in private, and only met this time to celebrate the birthday.

Because Wang Kang loved to listen to operas, Han and Qian Jin had more contact with each other, and they said a few more words at the birthday banquet, which happened to be seen by Wang Yi.

Wang Yi took advantage of the situation to accuse Han of being unfaithful to her husband and even wanted to use this as an excuse to divorce her.

No matter how Han explained, Wang Yi refused to listen, and the matter almost got to Wang Kang.

Han had already given up hope, but she didn't expect Wang Yi to suddenly change his attitude and say that he would not divorce her, but he needed Qian Jin to do something for him, and he also wanted Han to help lobby Qian Jin.

When Han learned that Wang Yi wanted Qian Jin to seduce Chai Ruyi, she refused to agree no matter what. However, she finally could not bear Wang Yi's threat and went to find Qian Jin.

Wang Yi promised Qian Jin that he would no longer pursue the matter between him and Han, and would give Qian Jin a large sum of money after the matter was accomplished.

Under the temptation of money, Qian Jin agreed to Wang Yi and agreed to seduce Chai Ruyi. However, the Chai family is a prominent family with very strict family traditions, so it is not easy to seduce Chai Ruyi.

Wang Yi told Qian Jin not to worry, he had his own way.

"Later, the official got some sandalwood from somewhere and asked Qian Jin to find a way to light it when he met Chai Ruyi." Han cried and said:
"I only found out later that sandalwood has aphrodisiac effects. Chai Ruyi fell for it without knowing it, and was deflowered by Qian Jin."

Wang Gang sat there with a gloomy face, listening quietly to Han's story, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Han was terrified and said, "Uncle, I was really forced by your eldest brother to agree to help him. I never thought that the Chai family was so cruel. They beat Qian Jin to death and wanted to kill Chai Ruyi to cover up the scandal."

Wang Gang said coldly: "So, Chai Ruyi's affair with the actor was actually under the influence of drugs, so why didn't she seek justice from the Chai family later?"

Han cried, "It is a grave matter for a woman to lose her chastity. How dare Chai Ruyi tell anyone about it? Moreover, the incense only induces passion and does not cause loss of mind. Chai Ruyi was half-hearted. How dare she tell her family?"

Wang Gang touched his chin and said, "Sister-in-law is so familiar with the efficacy of the medicine, maybe she has tried it too."

Han's face changed, and he lowered his head, stammering, as if he had something to hide.

Wang Gang sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you still want to hide it from me. Let me ask you, how did Qian Jin get along with Chai Ruyi in secret? How could a lady from a noble family meet with an actor alone, let alone be intoxicated by the incense?"

Han's face turned pale and she forgot to cry.

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Let me guess, in addition to persuading Qian Jin to seduce Chai Ruyi, did you also help him make an appointment with Chai Ruyi behind his back?

You are a female relative and Chai Ruyi's future sister-in-law, so she won't be wary of you."

As if Wang Gang had hit the nail on the head, Han's face turned even paler.

Wang Gang continued, "Sister-in-law, you are so foolish. Have you ever thought that once the Chai family finds out, my eldest brother can completely put the blame on you. What will you do then?"

"Ah." Han collapsed to the ground, completely at a loss for words.

Wang Gang continued, "Perhaps you are not confused, but you have no choice. You and Qian Jin must have had an affair, and my eldest brother caught you in bed. Otherwise, how could you dare to do such an evil thing!"

Han was horrified, and the way he looked at Wang Gang changed.

Wang Gang continued: "Sister-in-law, it's already this time, do you still want to hide it? Do you think I won't notice it if you evade the important point? Your words are full of loopholes, who can you fool!"

Han lowered her head in fear and remained silent for a long time. Wang Gang was no longer in a hurry, as he had already figured out the general situation.

The actor Qian Jin should not be a good person. He might really have an affair with Han, otherwise Wang Yi would not have been able to hold evidence against him and he would never dare to drag Wang Yi and Han out even if he died.

It would be more accurate to say that Han helped Wang Yi to harm Chai Ruyi for the sake of her own reputation rather than being forced by Wang Yi.

"Uncle, I did something wrong because I was confused for a moment, but it is also true that I was forced by your eldest brother." Han cried.

"Your elder brother has a poor health and has been dying for a long time. He always takes medicine and burns incense. He is not well, but I suffer. That's why I couldn't help it and did something wrong with Qian Jin."

Wang Gang stood up and said coldly: "That's enough. I don't want to listen to your dirty talk anymore."

"Where did my eldest brother go?"

"He should be in Tianxiang Tower tonight." Han said sadly.

"Tianxianglou is a place of illicit sex, where did he get the money?" Wang Gang quickly realized and said, "You gave him the dowry."

Han cried and said, "He has evidence of my affair, how dare I not give it to him? In fact, most of my dowry has been squandered by your eldest brother."

Wang Gang sighed: "How could my brother become like this?"

A woman’s dowry is private property, and her husband and his family cannot touch it. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will become a joke in the city of Bianjing.

Han said: "Since your elder brother's health has deteriorated, he has become more reckless and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all. I have also suffered greatly from this!"

As she spoke, Han rolled up her sleeves, revealing the numerous scars on her white arms.

"These were all caused by your eldest brother. Ever since he found out about my relationship with Qian Jin, he has been beating and scolding me. I have been trembling with fear and anxiety at home every day. I dare not sleep at all."

Wang Gang frowned and said, "Why don't you ask your mother for justice?"

Han said sadly: "Your mother loves her son so much that she doesn't care even though she knows your eldest brother is absurd. She probably just wants her son to feel more comfortable before he dies, but she has caused me so much pain. I really regret marrying into your Wang family."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "Sister-in-law, don't make yourself sound so wronged. Before you married my brother, you knew that he was in poor health. If your Han family's business hadn't run into problems and you needed help from my Wang family, why would you marry him?

In the final analysis, your Han family will not suffer any loss. "

Han lowered his head and remained silent, unable to find the words to refute.

Wang Gang said nothing more, walked out of the room and went to Tianxiang Tower to find Wang Yi.

When the maid saw Wang Gang leave, she quickly walked into the room, found Han sitting on the ground, and ran over to help her up.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Han suddenly wiped away her tears, slowly stood up, and straightened her appearance. There was no trace of grievance on her face anymore. Her expression changed so quickly that it was breathtaking.

"Give the order, I need to take a bath, ask the kitchen to boil more hot water." Han said coldly to the servant.

The maid didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't dare to disobey Han, so she walked out.

Han slowly sat down on the chair, expressionless and with a cold light in her eyes, she was completely different from the little girl she had been before.

Perhaps this is the true face of Han. (End of this chapter)
