Noon the next day.

Yun Zhihan lazily got up from the bed as usual and prepared to have lunch.

Jinshang pushed the door open and walked in, holding a prepared meal in his hand.

"Madam, you finally woke up. The dish has been heated up once. At the end of the Mao hour, the old lady sent someone in to ask about it once."

"What did you ask me?" Yun Zhihan washed up and prepared to eat.

"What are you doing? Why don't you come and pay your respects?"

"How did you answer?"

"I heard that you caught a cold yesterday and were not feeling well. Today you are exhausted and still resting in bed. You can't even eat."

"Good girl, you are getting smarter and smarter." Yun Zhihan grabbed a big chicken leg and started to chew it unscrupulously. It was so comfortable to eat in his own room. He could eat meat and drink sweet water with big mouthfuls.

Jinshang was very happy to hear the lady praising him.

"By the way, Madam, Shuanghua sent someone to tell you that she will come to settle the bill at 5 p.m. and ask if you are at home."

"Of course I am. I won't be going out in the next few days. She can come if she needs anything."

"Yes, I will convey it right away."

"Okay." Yun Zhihan suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and asked, "Is Master Yuan awake?"

"Madam, have you forgotten? Young Master Yuan took office today and has returned from the morning court."

"Oh, look at my brain. Go and call the eldest young master and Aunt Xu over. I have something to tell you."

"Yes, madam." Jin Shang was puzzled, not knowing why the madam asked Aunt Xu to do anything, but she had learned her lesson and did not ask questions that she should not ask. She would do whatever the madam asked her to do.

After Yun Zhihan finished lunch, Xie Baiyuan and Aunt Xu came together.

"Yuan'er greets mother."

"My concubine greets the madam."

"You two take a seat. I called you here today to tell Yuan'er the cause of death of my parents and husband."

Bai Yuan was stunned. Didn't his father die in battle? And didn't his grandparents die in a landslide? Was all this an illusion?

"Mom, what does this mean?"

"Yuan'er, don't be anxious. Let Aunt Xu tell you what she knows first."

Yun Zhihan nodded at her, and Aunt Xu understood and told Xie Baiyuan what she had heard truthfully.

These included the poisoning of Xie Songlin and the deliberate creation of the illusion of a landslide by someone with the intention of killing the Yun couple.

After hearing this, Bai Yuan was panicked and speechless for a moment. He looked at his mother, obviously not believing that the truth of the matter was so terrible, and he could not accept the death of his grandparents.

What was even more unacceptable was that his father, whom he had always revered, had been poisoned by his great uncle before he went to the battlefield. Tears fell down his face, but he was unaware of it, and only felt difficulty breathing.

Seeing this, Yun Zhihan quickly handed him a handkerchief, patted his back, and comforted him, "Yuan'er, the reason I chose to tell you the truth is because you have grown up."

"The Xie family needs you. Your grandparents and father need you to find the truth for them."

Xie Boyuan looked up at his mother and choked up, "Mother, what Aunt Xu said is all true? You knew it a long time ago, right?"

Yun Zhihan shook his head. "I only found out about it recently, and then secretly asked someone to investigate. I can basically confirm what Aunt Xu said, but I have no evidence."

"Now you are a minister in the court. Some people and some things are not as good as you imagine. I tell you this so that you can learn to be wary of some people."

Xie Boyuan still found it hard to accept it. Everything happened too suddenly and he was not ready. But he knew that he had grown up and his mother would not lie to him. He had to support the family.

He suddenly felt that he was so cowardly. He couldn't even protect his own family. How could he be qualified to be the eldest grandson of the Xie family?

"Mother, my child..."

Yun Zhihan hugged him in his arms and comforted him softly, "Everything will pass, Yuan'er. If your father were still alive, he would never blame you."

She gave Aunt Xu a wink, and Aunt Xu understood and left quietly.

"Yuan'er, after crying today, don't cry anymore. You should become a man who stands tall and proud like your father."

Xie Baiyuan broke free from her arms, wiped his tears with his sleeves, nodded and promised, "Yuan'er, promise mother that I will seek justice for grandpa, grandmother and father."

No matter who is involved in this matter, he will definitely handle it impartially and will never let them off easily.

"Mother knows you can do it."

"Mom, do my second sister and third brother know about this?"

Yun Zhihan shook his head, "I don't know. You know Chen'er, he has a reckless personality. If he knew about this, he would probably pick up a knife and chop your uncle, aunt, and grandmother to pieces."

"Although Jin'er has a stable personality, she is just a powerless young lady at home. Knowing this will only cause more trouble. Let's tell them when we have investigated everything thoroughly."

In ancient times, women had no status, and since Bai Jin had been unpopular since childhood, Yun Zhihan was not sure how she would react. It would not be too late to talk about it when the time came.

"Mother, you are right. Let your son handle this matter. Please do not make it public or take any action, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, Mom will be careful." Yun Zhihan used a handkerchief to wipe the tears of her eldest son. "Okay, if you cry again, you will become a little cat. Eat something and go get busy."

"Yes, my son is resigning."

Looking at Bai Yuan's back as he turned and left, Yun Zhihan found that he had suddenly grown up. He was no longer a weak scholar, but the pillar of the family.

"Hanhan, after this matter is resolved, Tongzi will be able to upgrade."

"Upgrade? What level? Are there any special functions?"

"Of course, by then, the system will be able to accurately predict every move of the bad guys, allowing you to safely avoid all traps."

"Haha, I advise you to keep your word and don't make empty promises to me later."

"How could that be? Tongzi is the most honest person."

Yun Zhihan rolled his eyes.

……

Not even three moments later.

Frost Hua, who has not been seen for a long time, is back.

Jin Shang hurried out to greet her, took her arm with one hand, and teased, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have gained weight. Tell me, have you been eating secretly behind your wife's back?"

"You little bastard, you're bored every day, and now you're making trouble for me. I'll beat you up."

"Oh my, you bullied me. I'll tell my wife when I get home."

The two were arguing outside, and Yun Zhihan listened with a smile on his face. He was not only happy that Shuanghua came back, but also happy that she came to give him silver.

Just as I was thinking about it, Shuanghua and Jinshang came in.

"Your servant greets the Madam!"

"How is Shuanghua these days? How is Yunsheng Restaurant doing? Has anyone given you any trouble?"

Yun Zhihan actually knew all about these issues, after all, Tongzi told her about them every day.

"Madam, I am doing well recently. This is the account book of Yunsheng Restaurant. We made a profit of three thousand taels of silver this month. This package of silver is for you. I will arrange the rest of the silver according to your instructions."
