Heng Yi stared at Old Woman Heng, then at the silent Old Man Heng.
Then moved his gaze to Eldest Brother Heng, Second Brother Heng, Third Brother Heng, and the other children of the Heng family.
“I won’t keep you, nor will I help you. Whether I hold a wedding or a funeral in the future, 1 won’t invite you.”
“Men.” Heng Yi shouted.
Housekeeper Liu immediately came forward, “Yes, Marquis.”
“Go make the arrangements. We’ll send the Heng family away.”
There was no need to buy anything.
He was unwilling to give it to them.
Old Woman Heng’s face turned pale in panic, “Old Fifth…”
“I advise you not to make a fuss. If you anger me, 1 won’t give you any more food every month.”
“Go back.”
Heng Yi waved his hand.
Old Woman Heng started crying, “Old Fifth, 1 regret my past actions, truly. 1 know you hate me and blame me, but 1…”
“That’s your business. If you don’t want to leave in a proper manner, 1 don’t mind throwing you out.”
And what Heng Yi said, he would do it.
If he was truly angered, he wouldn’t hesitate to throw the Heng family out.
Old Woman Heng still wanted to say something, but Third Brother Heng’s son stood up. “Fifth Uncle, if you don’t acknowledge us, we understand. We’ve let you down.”
Heng Yi looked at him.
The Heng family had produced someone with some humanity.
“Fifth Uncle, let me ask you a question.”
“Tell me.” Heng Yi’s voice was faint.
“Fifth Uncle, your military camp is about to recruit soldiers. Can I join?”
“It’s possible for you to join through proper channels. In the future, your promotion will depend entirely on your ability. If you have the ability, you can naturally stand high. If you don’t have the ability, you can only be a small soldier until your death. I won’t help you, nor will I give you any preferential treatment. You’re the same as all the new recruits.”
“I understand.”
Old Woman Heng was dragged away.
Old Man Heng took a few steps back and turned to look at Heng Yi.
Heng Yi sat on a chair in his luxurious clothes, looking tall and mighty.
He was already a Marquis, an official much, much higher than the county or the state’s magistrate.
He was no longer the silent Heng Yi who couldn’t make a sound or cry out in pain when he was wronged.
He now had his own home, a wife, children, and a future. He already knew how to live his life well and how to deal with those who had wronged him in the past.
Old Man Heng didn’t dare to offend him, and neither did his children and grandchildren.

Old Man Heng’s lips moved.
In the end, he didn’t say anything and hunched his back as he followed the Heng family to pack.
Everyone in the Han family was silent.
Han Dalang stood up.
“Ah Qiao, Heng Yi, we’ve decided to leave soon.”
The uncles were very surprised. They had actually decided to stay for a few more days this time to see if they could find work in the city or if Han Qiao could arrange something for them. They were leaving just like that?
Did something happen?
Or was it because the Heng family ate so badly that Heng Yi and Han Qiao thought they were the same kind of people?
Only the youngest uncle calmly looked at Father Han and Han Yuan. He noticed that the two of them were worried.
He sighed.
In this world, there were very few filial daughters like Han Qiao. But these two were too biased and hurt Han Qiao’s heart, and they still wanted to take money from her.
However, Han Qiao was not a fool, nor was she stupid.
She had not cut ties with the Han family yet because of her benevolence and kindness. She remembered the kindness she was shown.
They brought this upon themselves.
Uncle Yao sighed softly and stood up, “I’m planning to go back too. There are so many things to do at home. How can 1 let your Aunt Yao handle them all by herself?”
Han Qiao wanted to ask her uncles to stay. After all, it was rare for them to come. The uncles had never done anything evil to her. They were sincerely congratulating Han Chi on his marriage.
However, when she thought of Father Han and Han Yuan who were full of schemes, her heart became much colder. In the end, she could only pursed her lips and nodded.
“I’ll go pack some things for you.”
The children had visited, so she had to give them what they deserved.
Even the elders who came could not return empty-handed.
Han Qiao had also prepared a portion for the Heng Family.
However, they were given to Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng. Han Qiao didn’t care about the others.
Heng Yi was now Emperor Zhao Qian’s favorite, but many people were eyeing him like vultures.
She didn’t want others to call Heng Yi unfilial.
Han Yuan and Father Han step forward to Flan Qiao and ask for silver.
Han Qiao was silent for a moment. Then, “How much?”
The two of them opened and closed their mouths. From a few hundred taels to ten thousand taels.
“Heh.”
10,000 taels.
It wasn’t much for Han Qiao.
But she would not give it to them.
She called her uncle and three brothers over.
“Father and Mother just asked me for silver and asked for ten thousand taels.”
Han Dalang was so angry that he stomped his feet. He pointed at Father Han and Han Yuan, “I think you’re crazy. You’re possessed.”
“The three of us brothers together give you at least six taels of silver a month. Six taels of silver! In Puyi County, even if we eat meat every day, we won’t be able to finish it, and yet you still don’t have enough. Don’t forget that you still have a wonton stall that earns money every day.”
“Just for Han Xiang and those two brats, are you going to abandon us?” Han Dalang roared.
He was very disappointed.
How did his parents, whom he once respected, become like this?
Ah-Qiao, who used to be so close to them, was forced to distance herself from them.
They were biological siblings and should have been the closest, but it had become like this.
“All-Qiao, there’s no need to give them money.”
The uncles were silent.
However, Han Qiao said, “10,000 taels is impossible to give. 1,000 taels is fine, but I have a request. If 1 give you this 1,000 taels, you will no longer have me as your daughter, and I will no longer have you as my parents. We will sever all ties and never interact again.”
When Han Qiao said these words, the gloominess in her heart dissipated completely.
Only then did she realize.
The Host didn’t want her to repay her kindness at all.
The Host might not have any feelings for Father Han and Han Yuan at all.
Yet, she kept forcing herself to be filial.
No wonder she always felt depressed when she faced this family.
The uncles hurriedly persuaded Han Qiao, Father Han, and Madam Han to rethink.
You can buy anything in this world except kinship.
Uncle Yao sat there silently. He did not speak.
Because he knew that it was useless to speak.
His sister-in-law was bad.
No wonder his parents refused to come. They missed Han Qiao and the children so much, but they waved their hands with glassy eyes.
His mother told him that she was afraid of the heat and bumps on the road.
But what she truly meant was that they did not want to see this scene, and they understood it better than anyone else.
“Sure.” Father Han stood up.
Han Yuan tugged her husband’s sleeve in panic.
“Father…”
Han Yuan was still hesitant.
“For proof, we will write these all down in black and white. Today, the uncles and brothers who are here… I hope they can be witnesses.”
As Han Qiao spoke, she gestured for someone to bring Han Dacheng and the others in.
Han Dacheng looked at his grandfather and grandmother with an unfamiliar gaze..
