Chapter 179 - 14 Han Kuang’s Memories
Han Shouzhen did not notice her father’s reaction; her gaze was coldly fixed on Liu Yuzhi, "There’s another thing that I’ve been unable to understand over these years, and I hope you can answer me."
She pursed her lips, the corners drawing up in a sneer, "Why did my mother know about your existence initially?"
Just as Han Kuang caught his breath, he suddenly looked up, "What do you mean?"
Han Shouzhen continued, "My mother was always an open-hearted person. If she hadn’t been made aware of your existence and become defensive, she would never have hidden the Han Family’s wealth. Your existence—it certainly wouldn’t have been my father who told my mother. I had thought it was my mother’s old subordinates who revealed it to her. After all, those involved in intelligence tend to be more informed. But later I realized that couldn’t be right; when she was unwell, even if her old subordinates knew of your existence, they definitely wouldn’t have told her and aggravated her condition."
"Then, who revealed your existence to my mother?" Han Shouzhen’s gaze was piercingly cold, "Otherwise, how could my mother have later forgotten to take her medication due to her restlessness, and eventually get pregnant unexpectedly, which resulted in major health deterioration after giving birth to Shoulu, leading to her death a few years later?"
It wasn’t that she harbored any discontent toward Shoulu, but whenever she thought about how her mother’s death was caused by someone, anger continuously churned inside her.
As Liu Yuzhi was about to speak, Han Shouzhen cut her off, "Don’t bother with those pretty words. I didn’t come here without doing anything. I’ve questioned all of my mother’s old subordinates and her doctors back then. As my mother had already had me and my brother by then, the doctors, when prescribing traditional medicine, did not have to worry about her getting pregnant. Several of the medicines would have prevented pregnancy as long as she was taking them. Clearly, it was the shock of learning about your existence that made her neglect her medication, leading to everything that followed."
"I, I didn’t," Liu Yuzhi was flustered, glancing unconsciously toward Dong Fei but receiving no cues.
