Go back on her promise?

Han Yunxi stared coldly at Han Congan before taking the storehouse key from his hand. "You're overthinking things."

Since she agreed, she wouldn't go back on her word. This was no small matter, either. To save the Han Family was the same as saving three generations of the Han Clan. There were around a few hundred people in the Han Family and not all of them were bad people. Plenty were kind hearted innocents. In addition, the Han Family's medical knowledge needed to be passed down to future generations so more people could be saved.

Perhaps Lady Tianxin had chosen Han Congan not because she liked him, but because of the Han Family. Han Yunxi wouldn't place this task as her most important job, but she'd do her best. Han Congan felt much more relieved after he saw Han Yunxi take the key. He was clear that his crimes were so vast that it was difficult to avoid a living punishment even if he escaped the death sentence. He'd probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

Han Yunxi didn't want to talk with this man anymore. She was about to leave when Han Congan called her back. "Han Yunxi, wait!"

She stopped but didn't turn around. "What other instructions will you condescend to grant me?"

"Han Yunxi, the crown prince's illness..." Han Congan trailed off, before growing more determined. "This old man believes his diagnosis wasn't wrong!"

Han Yunxi gave a start and thought, this fellow might be despicable, but his medical skills are still exemplary. But she didn't want to answer him and kept walking. Han Congan caught up and blocked the exit to the cell.

"Since everything's already settled, I just want to know the truth!"

Han Yunxi was full of ridicule. "Divine Doctor Han, consider it carefully. With your extraordinary skills, I think you'll understand the truth very quickly!"

Then she pushed aside his hand and walked out of the cell, personally locking him in.

"I don't understand it!" Han Congan's voice rose a few decibels. He was extremely stirred up.

Han Yunxi's face was all indifference. "If you don't understand it, then keep thinking."

She finished and left. To keep the truth from Han Congan was another form of punishment. He'd probably brood over it indefinitely. Han Yunxi didn't feel guilty over it when everything was what Han Congan deserved. If he had shown even a grain of gratitude and raised her as his daughter, then she'd risk her own life to get him out today. Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world. Even back then, she hadn't seen a shred of guilt on Han Congan's body.

Walking through the cold halls, Han Yunxi wrapped her arms around herself, head lowered in thought. What is the truth behind my mother's death? Who is my father?

So many years had passed, so where should she start looking? Amongst all the people of the world, where could she start?

Why did Lady Tianxin marry someone else after getting pregnant? Had she given up hope, or did she have no choice?

A remarkable woman like her had shocked an entire era after staying in Tianning's capital for less than a year. Under what circumstances did she conceive her child? Or perhaps she was already married before she wedded into the Han Family?

Was her father still alive, and did he know that she existed?

Many, many questions perplexed Han Yunxi. The more she knew, the more questions she had. Finally, she sighed and stored away the Han Family's key. If there was time, she should pay a visit back home.
