Chapter 185: Cheating Mr. Han

Chu Huanyan did not answer immediately. Instead, she picked up the cooling tea on the side and took a sip as slowly as Han Changping did just now.

"I cannot tell you what is written in it, but..."

Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked directly at Han Changping.

"Since this junior has put so much effort into it and hopes to visit Han Mansion, is it really impossible for the old man to guess what is written in it?"

Han Changping's face tightened, and the crease between his eyebrows deepened. He didn't know what he thought of, and he looked much more nervous than before.

"Ling Yan, since we are hosting a banquet for Miss Chu today, go down and see if the dishes in the kitchen are ready."

Han Lingyan frowned. Did his grandfather want to drive him away?

What exactly was written in that letter that made grandfather look like this, and what exactly did Chu Huanyan want to ask?
Although he was confused and puzzled, Han Lingyan still stood up and cupped his hands in front of Mr. Han, "Yes, my grandson obeys."

Han Lingyan left, and with Mrs. Han's wave, only he, Chu Huanyan, and Xianyue standing behind Chu Huanyan were left in the lobby.

"Aren't you going to let her back down?" Han Changping's eyes fell on Xian Yue.

"I believe her."

Han Changping shook his head, "But there are some words that may not be of any benefit if heard."

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment, then turned back to Xian Yue and said, "Go and guard outside."

"Yes." Xian Yue responded and walked outside the hall.

"Can the old man speak now?" Chu Huanyan looked at the other party and asked.

"What did you say?" Han Changping still looked at Chu Huanyan, "I am confused, can Miss Chu make it clear?"

Chu Huanyan frowned without any trace. Naturally, the Han family was never mentioned in the letter from beginning to end.

If Mr. Han really had any secrets hidden in him, it would be impossible for him to tell the other party as soon as he came to the door. What he said just now was just a try to deceive the other party.

It's just that the other party's reaction when he heard that he mentioned the letter was clearly problematic.

Facing Mrs. Han's questioning gaze, Chu Huanyan quickly weighed whether she should take a gamble.It’s better to stop this topic for now and think about it in the long run.

"Why didn't Miss Chu speak?" Han Changping asked in a deep voice, the suspicion in his eyes clearly getting stronger.

Chu Huanyan frowned, took a deep breath, and decided to give it a try.

"What does the old man want to hear from this junior? Is it about something that you hid back then? Or maybe you know in your heart that there may be another reason for the death of my parents, but you have not said a word for many years. ?”

Han Changping's expression trembled, did the person in front of him really know?
No, not possible!
If that matter was really written down by the Marquis of Ning'an and his wife, and the letter was only in the hands of their daughter now, I am afraid that it had been discovered long ago, and how could it have been concealed until now.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Han Changping looked away and his expression returned to normal, "Isn't the death of your parents an accident? What do you mean there is another reason? If there is really another reason, why don't you go to the Yamen ?”

Chu Huanyan looked at Han Changping silently. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with his current expression, she could clearly see the surprise in his expression just now.

It seemed that his bet was right. Han Changping was very likely to be involved in what happened back then, and he must be hiding something.

But if it's really a matter of life and death, it's not that easy to get the other person to speak.

Chu Huanyan sat in silence. After a long time, when Han Changping looked at her again, she stood up.

"Since the old man doesn't want to say anything, I will leave first."

Han Changping was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would give up so quickly.Seeing Chu Huanyan turning around to leave, he said in confusion: "Miss Chu really don't want to ask?"

"Of course I do. Although I know a thing or two, it is still difficult to see the full picture of what happened back then. I don't know the real cause of my parents' death, but..."

Chu Huanyan paused for a moment, turned her head and looked at Han Changping again.

"My parents suddenly had an accident that year, which means that this matter must be very important. If I force the old man to tell it now, it might implicate the Han family. I just want to find out the truth and don't want to harm the Han family. So the old man doesn't want to say it. , I can understand it too.”

"Do you really think so?" Han Changping was slightly stunned.

The face of the person in front of me is very similar to that of Ning'an Hou and his wife who came to see him back then. Pictures from the past clearly appeared before his eyes again. Although so long has passed, that memory has not faded or blurred at all.

Chu Huanyan looked at Han Changping and said, "I hope that the old man will forgive me for causing any disturbance today. I will say goodbye."

Turning around to leave, Chu Huanyan suddenly stopped when she was about to reach the entrance of the lobby.

"Miss Chu, do you regret it?" Han Changping asked.

Chu Huanyan turned her head and said, "I just lied to the old man."

"What?" Han Changping was stunned.

"The letter from my parents only told me to stay away from the imperial city and told me how to survive if something happened to them. Other than that, they didn't mention anything else, let alone the Han family."

"Then those words you just said..."

"Ever since I saw that letter, I have suspected that there was another reason for my parents' death. Everything I just said was based on the investigation during this period. I wanted to see if I could get the truth from the old man. "Chu Huanyan spoke frankly.

Han Changping felt complicated.

When he heard that the Han family was not mentioned in the letter, he was indeed relieved.

But looking at Chu Huanyan, his heart suddenly rose again. He had kept the events of that year a secret for too long.

Later, he talked to Ning'an Hou and his wife, not only because he couldn't bear their investigation, but also because he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that some things would be revealed to the world.

Unexpectedly, what awaited him was not that the truth came to light, but that Ning'an Hou and his wife died unexpectedly. From then on, he decided to bring this secret into the coffin to avoid harming others and himself.But...are some truths really going to follow his death and no one will know them anymore?

Seeing that Chu Huanyan was about to cross the threshold, Han Changping called her to stop.

"and many more!"

Chu Huanyan paused and turned her head to look at Han Changping.

"If you don't get an answer from me today, will Miss Chu give up the investigation?"

"No." Chu Huanyan said firmly.

"Aren't you afraid? After all, your parents..." Han Changping did not finish his words.

"It's precisely because something happened to my parents that I can't let this matter just be covered up. Some truths should never be lost in the dust of time."

"The truth should not be annihilated..."

Han Changping repeated these words blankly. When he raised his head again, his eyes were complicated, but he made a decision in his heart.

"Miss Chu, I can tell you something."
