Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Second Brother Han Jingwen (2)_1

The glass room was surrounded by plants as tall as the room itself. The room was air-conditioned, making the temperature within the tea room pleasant, not too cold or warm.

Upon entering the tea room, Zhang Te first asked Xia Wan’an to sit down and then started to boil water and search through the cupboard for tea leaves. "What type of tea would you like to drink, ma’am? We have green tea, black tea, ripe Pu’er, raw Pu’er..."

"Ripe Pu’er, please." After sitting down, Xia Wan’an looked around the tea room.

Only after Zhang Te had taken a seat opposite her, did Xia Wan’an speak again. "Zhang Te, I came to see you because I wanted to ask you what you know about Xiaoyao."

"Miss Xiaoyao?" Only after pre-rinsing the tea leaves and pouring a small cup of tea for himself and Xia Wan’an did Zhang Te respond, "What’s wrong with Miss Xiaoyao? Does she have a problem?"

"No, no, no," Xia Wan’an quickly shook her head, "There’s nothing wrong with Xiaoyao, I’m just curious about who her biological father is."

"Well... If I may speak frankly, ma’am, it’s better for you not to pursue that knowledge..." After taking a sip of his tea, Zhang Te gave Xia Wan’an an explanation, "Because no one in the old Han family house knows anything about Miss Xiaoyao’s biological father, including the old Madam Han herself."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Wan’an was shocked, "Even my grandmother doesn’t know?"

"Indeed. Why else would the old lady refuse to let Miss Xiaoyao live in the old house, insisting that she live in the old house in the back instead?" Zhang Te mused as he brewed more tea, "I heard that when Miss Xiaoyao was pregnant with Xiaoyao, she was brought back once by the old lady. The eldest young master offered her two paths: sever her connection with the poor scholar and stay in the Han family or sever her mother-daughter relationship with the old lady. Miss Xiaoyao chose the poor scholar without hesitation... this choice made the old lady terribly ill."

"After that, indeed the old lady acted as if she didn’t have a daughter, Han Qingqing’s name was never mentioned again, no matter the occasion or venue."

"When Miss Xiaoyao returned to the Han family with Xiaoyao, it was Mr. Han’s fifth year. Xiaoyao was four and a half years old. I heard from Ma Sun that she was incredibly pretty, just like a doll. The old lady took them in, purely out of pity for Xiaoyao... Xiaoyao couldn’t speak, and the old lady had many famous doctors examine her. In the end, all they knew was that there was no physical damage to her vocal cords. In other words, Xiaoyao should have no obstacles to speaking physically. The reason she refused to speak is probably psychological trauma. The old lady asked Miss Xiaoyao about this once, asking who Xiaoyao’s father was and why Xiaoyao couldn’t speak. Miss Xiaoyao stubbornly refused to tell, and from then on, the old lady let them live in the old house at the back."

"Oh, yes. Ma’am, there’s one more thing. When Xiaoyao was about ten, the second young master tried to cure her, she was on the brink of being able to speak, but very unfortunately, the second young master passed away before she could completely recover..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan’an’s hand shook, and the scalding tea spattered over her back.

Ignoring the pain of the scald, she furrowed her brows and hastily asked, "The second young master? Han Jingnian’s brother, Han Jingwen? Was he a doctor?"

"Yes," Zhang Te looked at Xia Wan’an with surprise, "Ma’am, don’t you know?"
