“Alright.”
Yishui Han nodded.
Ye Wanwan was full of curiosity about the girl he mentioned. Furthermore, she noticed that there didn’t seem to be any girl around Yishui Han now.
That girl had lived with Yishui Han and his mother for six months.
Until one day, Yishui Han returned home to find his mother dead at the dining table, poisoned. The girl was sitting on a chair, seemingly dazed. Under Yishui Han’s questioning, she confessed that she had poisoned the food, originally intending it for Yishui Han. However, at the last moment, she hesitated and didn’t dispose of the poisoned meal. Coincidentally, Yishui Han’s mother ate the tainted food and died from the poison.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but shiver. She thought about how Yishui Han meticulously inspected his food every time he ate, as if he was afraid of poison…
It turned out that this incident had left an indelible shadow in Yishui Han’s heart.
“What happened to that girl?” Ye Wanwan asked, fixating her gaze on Yishui Han, wanting to know the outcome.
“I killed her,” Yishui Han said indifferently, looking at Ye Wanwan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan fell into silence. This story… was better left untold.
However, as she thought more about it, something didn’t add up. What did this have to do with Yishui Han’s grudge against the collateral branches? Could it be that the girl was from one of the collateral branches?
Finally, Ye Wanwan learned that the girl was indeed from one of the collateral branches. Back then, when the collateral branches learned of Yishui Han’s existence and that his mother belonged to the main branch, they were afraid that Yishui Han would join the main branch. So, they selected a trained assassin from the collateral branches, and that assassin was the girl.
After listening to Yishui Han’s story, Ye Wanwan was at a loss for words. It seemed too dramatic…
“So, do you think all those ancient clans deserve to die?” Yishui Han asked Ye Wanwan.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan shook her head with a puzzled expression. “Not necessarily…”
“Not necessarily?” Yishui Han furrowed his brows.
“It’s hard to say…” Ye Wanwan rubbed her chin.
“Hard to say…” Not giving Yishui Han a chance to retort, Ye Wanwan sighed. How could she phrase it…
Although, based on Yishui Han’s story, the collateral branches were indeed despicable, and the ancient clans might have brought it upon themselves. However, Ye Wanwan suddenly realized a fact…
Her man, Si Yehan, was also a member of the ancient clans!
How should she respond to Yishui Han? Should she say, “The collateral branches deserve it; go ahead and take down those ancient clans, I support you!” That would be ridiculous!
From the depths of her heart, Ye Wanwan despised the actions of the ancient clans. But she couldn’t say much.
As for Yishui Han, she couldn’t find any reason to refute his actions, not just Yishui Han; even she might have done the same thing in his shoes.
“I came here today not only to see Tangtang but also to remind you not to meddle lightly in the conflicts between the collateral branches and the main branch,” Yishui Han said to Ye Wanwan.
“But you’ll definitely get involved, right?” Ye Wanwan frowned.
“The war between the main branch and the collateral branches has nothing to do with me; it’s merely my personal grudge with those ancient clans,” Yishui Han said indifferently.
