Chapter 550: Han Family
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Many from Chu Country are involved, including some from the six great families, officials from the imperial court, and the crown prince.”
Even though this person was a doctor, he was the Wei family’s personal military doctor and confidant. Therefore, he knew these things.
Few people survived when the Wei family was wiped out in the war three years ago. Since that was the case, Luo Jin’an had to protect them no matter what. Furthermore, the forces the Wei family had secretly nurtured were under his care now.
Still, Luo Jin’an would not readily use these people and forces or expose them to the public because he still had to avenge his family. That was his primary responsibility.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, he sat up and narrowed his frost-covered eyes with killing intent. “People from the six great families are involved, too?”
The six great families comprised the Gongsun, Shen, Feng, and three more families. Only one remained of the Gongsun family, while Old Madam Fengs family had a friendship with his grandmother. Logically speaking, she would not be involved.
There was also the Shen family. Things had happened within that family then, making them go into hiding. Shen Mohen, the son of the Shen family’s patriarch, had long since become a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley.
If the Shen family had been involved, Shen Mohen would not have helped King Lan Ruozhu. Meanwhile, the Wei family had long been tied to the deceased royal’s mansion, so the Han family could be excluded.
Luo Jin’an considered these things, and his expression turned cold. Perhaps he was in disbelief.
“Our people also found clues of the Han family’s involvement.
Luo Jin’an did not doubt it. “Who from the Han family is involved?”
The doctor observed his master’s expression and hesitated before saying,
“Han Yueting, the Han family’s young master.”
Not only was Luo Jin’an familiar with this person, but he was also familiar with the whole family. The Han family was the head of the six great families and the wealthiest in Chu.
Han Yueting was one of the most sought-after people among Chu Country’s women. There were many legends about him, but the most important one was that his family had some relations with the deceased royal’s mansion.
Although it was all in the past, the doctor was cautious when mentioning Han Yueting. The doctor did not know if his master remembered what had happened in the past but knew his master’s wife was Su Binglan from Su Teng
Village.
Nonetheless, Wei Jin’an was close to Lan Ruozhu and the people of the deceased royal’s mansion. Although Wei Jin’an had spent most of his time at the border, he sometimes returned to the capital.
He also often wrote to Princess Lan whenever he was at the border, and everyone knew this. Of course, outsiders felt Princess Lan was not in good health and might not be worthy of Wei Jin’an.
However, in the eyes of those from the deceased royal’s mansion, Princess Lan and Wei Jin’an were a match made in heaven. Of course, Princess Lan and Wei Jin’an were still young then and might not have intended to be together.
Luo Jin’an narrowed his eyes when he heard Han Yuetings name. The doctor looked at his master’s face and sighed inwardly.
‘If it weren’t for the scar on Master’s face, he would have had the power to bewitch anyone. All men would bow to him.’
Whenever Wei Jin’an went to battle, the enemies commented on his appearance. Wei Jin’an would emit his murderous and oppressive aura during battle, making the enemies flee in panic.
Afterward, no one dared to say Wei Jin’an was beautiful. Everyone was shocked by his aura and capabilities, only fearing him. He was a young man then but had turned eighteen and lived as Luo Jin’an now.
At this moment, Luo Jin’an leaned against a wall with a cold aura around him.
He lowered his head, and the doctor could not guess his master’s thoughts.
The doctor said, “Han Yueting has unfathomable thoughts and is crafty in his schemes. Moreover, his family has an enormous influence. If he had gotten involved back then, taking revenge would have been somewhat troublesome.”
The Han family’s power and status had risen significantly since producing a genius like Han Yueting. Still, the doctor felt Han Yueting was no match for Luo Jin’an, no matter how crafty Han Yueting was.
‘If not for the cold poison in Master’s body, none would be a match for him regarding talent, intelligence, and martial arts. Moreover, Master is proficient in many other things. Master is just unwilling to show it.’
Some in Chu thought Han Yueting was talented, but Luo Jin’an was much more talented in martial arts. However, Luo Jin’an had said that reputation was a burden he was unwilling to chase after.
The corners of Luo Jin’an’s lips curled into a lazy smile as he said indifferently, “Everyone has a weakness, and the same goes for the Han family. They have developed rapidly over the past few years, leaving many problems behind.”
The doctor noticed his master’s indifferent expression and understood he could plan things from a thousand miles away. If it were not for Luo Jin’an’s poor health or the fact that he had to stay hidden to protect his people, he would have long taken them to get revenge.
Still, everyone felt sorry for their master. The doctor did not want Luo Jin’an to stress himself out, so he said, “Master, please lie down and rest.”
Suddenly, a hidden guard appeared in the room. Luo Jin’an immediately asked the guard, “Is there something wrong?”
The Wei family’s hidden guard would not have appeared here if it was not urgent.
“Master, the Young Madam is here.”
Although the village at the border was remote, the hidden guards watched the area. If they saw outsiders in the village, they would quickly report it. However, Su Binglan was the one who came this time, and the guard hesitated to report her.
Even Luo Jin’an could not believe it and suspected he had misheard. Even so, he guessed it was Su Binglan, and his eyes sparkled, giving him a gentle demeanor.
“What? Who are you talking about.”
“It’s Miss Su!” The guard corrected himself.
Upon hearing Su Binglan had arrived, even the doctor became excited. “I-lt’s
Miss Su! Master, your wife is here. You’ll be okay soon!”
The doctor knew how capable his master’s wife was. If Su Binglan had not given Luo Jin’an the backup medicine, his condition would have been more severe when the cold poison acted up.
The doctor wanted to send the news to Su Binglan so that she would come and treat Luo Jin’an. However, Luo Jin’an stopped him. He told the doctor not to tell Su Binglan about the cold poison if his life was not in danger.
After all, the distance between Su Teng Village and the border was far, and many dangers lay along the way. Luo Jin’an was worried his wife would put herself at too much risk.
That was why Luo Jin’an did not let the doctor tell Su Binglan about his condition. Luo Jin’an wanted to settle his business before returning to the village for the New Year..
