CHAPTER 766: CHAPTER 768: NOT EASY TO BULLY (4 UPDATES)

Chen, the Elder Statesman, lived through three dynasties and had numerous disciples. No one could clearly say how many officials his death would involve.

With his demise, there were many with different intentions.

This matter was of great significance; how could she speak carelessly?

Moreover, these Imperial Physicians were not acting alone; each had their own backers. They had come so blatantly today, likely to probe for information.

"This..."

Several Imperial Physicians hadn’t expected that Yun Jinnian wouldn’t say anything.

They were momentarily conflicted.

"If there’s nothing else, sirs, please take your leave!" Yun Jinnian stood up, effectively dismissing her guests.

The Imperial Physicians’ faces turned unsightly, but thinking of Yun Jinnian’s grandfather, who was even more cantankerous and stubborn than her, they felt that Yun Jinnian had been comparatively polite—not turning them away at the door.

As for what they would say once they left, that was their affair.

"Sirs, my sister hasn’t said anything today, and I hope there won’t be any rumors outside claiming she did..." Han Tianci suddenly spoke up. Seeing the physicians’ expressions shift, he continued, "Although I’m young, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand anything. In this world, everyone strives to be untainted by a speck of dirt. I may still be a child, but the Han Residence will eventually be mine. I command hundreds of people here; if I want to find out something, it’s quite easy to do!"

"You..." One of the Imperial Physicians looked extremely displeased.

He left with a flick of his sleeves.

Han Tianci didn’t care about their reactions. After they had gone, he said to Yun Jinnian, "These people clearly had bad intentions!"

"I can see that!"

Yun Jinnian returned to Chaoyang Academy, looked over Leng Nuan, and then ordered her servants to keep an eye on the Imperial Physicians who came earlier, and to secretly investigate their possible hidden agenda.

She also wanted them watched to prevent any potential slanderous talk.

Mrs. Han saw Yun Jinnian coming to hold Leng Nuan and said, "You should wash up before holding him, the child is still so young, and you’ve been in contact with sick people!"

Yun Jinnian thought it over and agreed, heading to the bathhouse to bathe and change clothes.

After changing, she held Leng Nuan, playing and cooing with him.

"This child would rather sleep in bed than be held by anyone!" Mrs. Han complained.

She truly adored the child, but he wouldn’t let her hold him, nor let anyone else do so.

"He has his father’s disposition!"

Mrs. Han had wanted to ask who the child’s father was, but considering his mother was Princess Jinfeng, it wasn’t a topic she could inquire about casually.

In the end, she asked nothing.

"What would you like to eat this evening? I can go make it!"

"Let the cook prepare it!"

Mrs. Han laughed, "While I’m still able, I want to cook a few meals for you. Once we return to the Yun Residence, I won’t have the chance!"

The Yun Family was definitely bound to return; not returning would leave Jinnian’s marriage prospects compromised.

She also needed to go back and divorce Yun Qi.

"Then I’ll help you in the kitchen!"

"No need, it’s rare for this child to want you to hold him, so stay and hold him!"

Mrs. Han headed to the kitchen to cook dinner, while Yun Jinnian spent time with Leng Nuan. Han Tianci was in the study, reading books. He no longer needed a teacher and would make notes on things he didn’t understand to ask Han Xuzi later.

That evening, only the three of them dined. After dinner, Yun Jinnian and Han Tianci discussed the medicine prepared for the Elder Statesman.

In just over a year, Tianci’s medical skills had vastly improved.

After much deliberation, the siblings finalized the prescription.

The two prepared the ingredients and crafted thirty medicinal pills in the pharmacy.

"Sister, do we need to deliver these pills to the Elder Residence tomorrow?"

"Yes, but I have to visit the Duan Family tomorrow, so you’ll handle this for me, alright?"
