The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Li Jiren investigated these people, but after Zhao Qihua died, all clues were lost.

They also did not find the letter with King Lin's seal mentioned by Fan Lijun.

It was not until Han Qingyun mentioned the hunting dogs that appeared in Fengye Village that Li Jiren realized that those people were most likely Beirong people.

Maybe it’s not just the Northern Rong, there’s also the State of Yan.

The people of these two countries are tall and strong, and look very similar to the people of Jiyang.

The Beirong people are good at raising hunting dogs.

But why did Zhao Qihua collude with the Beirong people to frame Prince Lin’s Mansion?

What Li Jiren could be sure of was that Zhao Qihua was from Dayu, there was no way he was wrong about it.

Zhao Qihua came to Jiyang earlier than King Lin and stayed in Jiyang for almost thirty years.

He was brave and good at fighting. Over the years, he killed many Northern Rong soldiers and several Northern Rong generals.

Zhao Qihua's younger brother also died in the war with the Beirong, and he had an irreconcilable feud with the Beirong.

If they said he was colluding with the Beirong people, Li Jiren and King Lin would not believe anything.

And if they were really the Northern Rong people, how did they enter the territory of Dayu?

No one knows the answers to these questions yet.

Li Jiren could only continue investigating based on the information from the hound.

But so far, there has been no reply.

Questions without answers can only be put on the back burner.

Han Qingyun thought of another thing.

"Dongchen, after your tenth birthday, you suddenly became estranged from me. Why is that?"

What Han Dongchen just mentioned about ten years ago reminded Han Qingyun of many past events.

Han Dongchen was very close to him when he was a child, but suddenly stopped hanging around him after his tenth birthday.

Not only Han Dongchen, but also Han Nanxing and four-year-old Han Xigu began to distance themselves from him.

Han Xigu looked at him with a hint of hostility.

He was not a father at that time and did not know how to get along with children.

Although he felt it was strange, all his attention was focused on his studies and his pregnant wife.

So he didn't take the sudden changes in the children too seriously.

Later, he got used to their indifference and gradually forgot about these things.

But now thinking about it, something must have happened back then that he didn't know about.

When Han Dongchen heard Han Qingyun's question, his face turned red, and his expression was full of shame and guilt.

After a long time, Han Dongchen recounted what happened that year with a sense of self-blame.

Han Dongchen and Zhao Xingye were encouraged by Han Qingyun to learn martial arts well, and they naturally agreed.

It was already very late.

Han Hongyuan drank too much and was supported by Chen into the room.

Han Qingshan and Zhao He were tired after a day of work and went to bed early.

Han Qingyun returned to the room to look after the pregnant Lu Yanyan.

There were only a few young children in the yard, playing "Xiang Ying Sword" under the bright moonlight.

Even Han Xigu, who was only four years old, insisted on playing with his elder brother.

Master Lin, who taught Han Qingyun, walked into the yard with a frown and scolded them.

Han Dongchen still remembers the disgust on Master Lin's face. He looked at the five of them as if they were a pile of worthless things.

Master Lin told them that Han Qingyun would become a high-ranking official in the future.

The eldest wife's family could only serve as slaves to Han Qingyun.

Unfortunately, these servants are noisy and have no sense of propriety, which will only bring shame to Han Qingyun in the future.

His tone was quite harsh.

Zhao Xingye was the oldest and immediately refuted it.

He said that his second uncle treated them very well, did not treat them as slaves, and even allowed them to join the army.

Master Lin called them idiots as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Han Nanxing was so angry that she cried and asked him why he said that.

Master Lin said that Han Qingyun had disliked them for a long time. Even if they joined the army, they might die on the battlefield. All the property of the Han family would belong to the second branch.

Han Dongchen couldn't believe what Master Lin said. How could his second uncle dislike them?

Master Lin pressed on, saying, "What else can you do in the Han family besides doing farm work?"

Han Qingyun already has the Lu family as his backing. Your first branch is useless except working like slaves for the second branch.

Several children started arguing with him.

But for some reason, even though the yard was not big, none of the adults in the family were awakened.

Master Lin later became impatient and asked them whether Han Qingyun had defended them when Chen treated the eldest wife harshly.

The children were stunned.

At that time, they did not understand the literati's definition of filial piety.

They didn't know that even if Han Qingyun wanted to dissuade his mother, he couldn't do it in front of the younger generation.

They only knew that Han Qingyun had indeed failed to stop Chen.

Master Lin then went on to talk about how Chen suppressed their first wife for Han Qingyun.

It is said that Han Hongyuan only has eyes for Han Qingyun. If it weren't for Han Qingyun, the life of the eldest wife would definitely not be like this now.

Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu kept scolding Master Lin, saying that he was talking nonsense.

But Master Lin looked at Han Dongchen and asked him to ask Han Qingyun, Chen, Lin Hongyuan and what the Han family's eldest branch meant to the Han family.

These words made Han Dongchen's heart ache.

Master Lin also said that Han Qingyun was extremely talented, and his unborn child must also be incredibly gifted and would definitely pursue a career in school.

But the Han family's conditions are not good.

He hoped that the people in the first wife would just be good slaves and not dream of studying or becoming generals.

Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu wanted to beat him, but were sneered and ridiculed by Master Lin.

Master Lin said, he is just a poor family of the Han family in Bashang, do you really think you are a relative of the Han family?

As relatives of the Han family, Han Qingyun can marry the richest man in Fengxi Town, but Han Qingshan can only marry a poor family like the Zhao family.

Afterwards, Master Lin left with a cold face.

Zhao Xingye kept comforting his cousins, saying that his second uncle was not that kind of person, and that Master Lin was just talking nonsense.

But after that, Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu rarely went to the Han family anymore.

Master Lin's words still pierced the hearts of the two young men.

Han Dongchen was also filled with shame and anger at what Master Lin said.

He was not good at studying and studied in academy for three years. He dropped out at the age of nine and then helped his father with work at home.

It is true that all the housework is done by my father and mother.

Compared to my second uncle's family, isn't his family just cattle and horses?

Zhao Xingye left early the next morning. Before leaving, he told Han Dongchen and his brothers that Master Lin had bad intentions and asked him to talk to Han Qingyun.

But Master Lin had long seen through the weaknesses of several children, and he was sure that these children would not say anything to the adults at home.

Han Dongchen and his friends have extremely strong self-esteem. The more they are looked down upon by the people they care about, the more proud they become.

After that, they never bothered Han Qingyun again, and never thought of telling these things to the adults at home.

After that, they met Master Lin, who continued to mock them until the relationship between the two families became increasingly worse...

When Han Dongchen thought about it now, he felt that he and his brothers were possessed by evil spirits.

Lian Huaijin knew that the prosperity of a family depended on a group of people, not one person.

But he, the eldest brother, has been confused for nearly ten years.

After listening to Han Dongchen, Han Qingyun was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"I never thought of it that way."

Han Dongchen wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I should have listened to my cousin and come to you to explain things clearly."

His mistake was not just that he did not trust his second uncle, he was even secretly happy that his second uncle did not pass the imperial examination.

Han Dongchen slapped himself hard several times.

Zhao Xingye hugged Han Qingyun's legs.

"Uncle, don't blame Dongchen. Master Lin's words are really harsh. It's me, it's me..."

It was him. He knew that Master Lin was trying to sow discord between the two families, but the young man was so sensitive.

After being scolded by Master Lin, he himself refused to go to the Han family again. How could he convince his cousin who was a few years younger than him?
