Chapter 225 Young Master Han can move his legs again, I never expected...
“I know what to do,” Yin Rou took a deep breath, looked at Xia Mo, and smiled at her.
Xia Mo was extremely satisfied with Yin Rou's reaction and smiled happily.

The shipping rights for the salt trade have ended, and all the shipping companies that participated in the salt trade are preparing to return home.
Yin Rou had Han, the steward, escorted back to Lingzhou Prefecture City with evidence of his crimes over the years.
Ten days later—
Lingzhou Prefecture City —
With favorable winds and no sudden changes in the weather, they sailed smoothly back to Lingzhou Prefecture.
The Han family had been overjoyed when they heard that Yin Rou had successfully secured the shipping rights for the imperial salt trade. Upon hearing that Yin Rou was arriving today, every member of the Han family who could make the decision came to warmly welcome her.
When they disembarked at the end of summer, they saw many patriarchs of the Han family, as well as the Han family head who had retired to the second line, standing on the dock.
When the head of the Han family saw Steward Han, he realized that Steward Han might have done something unwise, and he immediately became somewhat nervous.
"Let's go back to the manor first," Yin Rou nodded to the Han family head.
At this time, the dock was crowded with people. Not only were they returning to Lingzhou Prefecture, but other shipping companies had also returned, making it quite lively. She didn't want others to join in the fun.
Lingzhou Prefecture, Yin Family —
The Han family head thought he was going home to the Han family, but he didn't expect to come to the Yin family. He stood there stiffly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“There are some important things that must be made clear in front of the elders of the Han family,” Yin Rou handed the evidence of Steward Han’s embezzlement to the head of the Han family.
"No, this old servant only let Master Cao into the house because he wanted to see his adopted daughter. I didn't mean anything by it!" Steward Han hurriedly said to Master Han beside him.
The head of the Han family frowned deeply when he saw the evidence that had been found.
He had always known that Steward Han was a little greedy, but a little greed wasn't a big deal, as long as he helped manage the Han family's branch in the capital. He never expected...
This is far more than just petty corruption; his greed far exceeds his wildest imagination—it's several times greater.
Most importantly...
"Patriarch Yin already has the Patriarch's order, how dare you directly point fingers at the Patriarch?!" Patriarch Han hurriedly reprimanded Steward Han.
He was afraid that if he scolded her too late, Siya would think that he had indulged Butler Han and deliberately did that... then he would be wronged!
"No, I... it was the young master who sent a message to this old servant, instructing me to suppress Miss Yin's arrogance. Otherwise, how could this old servant dare to do such a thing?" Steward Han immediately revealed the reason why he did it.
The Han family head's heart skipped a beat. He nervously and nervously glanced at Siya (Xia Mo) and swallowed hard. He was a little flustered: Could it be that Siya thought he was deliberately indulging his son's behavior?
If this gets back to the master, all the trust he's worked so hard to build... will be gone!
"You bastard! Bring that bastard to me!"
The Han family head's face darkened.
Young Master Han could move his legs again. Hearing that it was his father who had summoned him to the Yin family, he came. Little did he expect that what he would be greeted was...
"Cripple his legs and keep him in bed for as long as possible until he understands!" the Han family head ordered his trusted subordinates.
Young Master Han stared in astonishment, his eyes wide, and whispered, "Father!"
“That’s it,” the Han family head waved his hand, not forgetting to remind him, “Dislocation is fine.”
"Yes!"
Young Master Han immediately shrank behind the elders of the Han family, looking at the head of the Han family with accusatory eyes, accusing him of being cold-hearted and ruthless.
That is, at this moment...
"Han's Shipping has changed its name. From now on, it will be Yin's Shipping," Xia Mo, disguised as a maid, stepped forward and suddenly dropped the bombshell in a simple, honest maid's voice.
Yin Rou turned her head in surprise, then realized that this might be an order from their master. She understood and remained silent.
The Han family head was also taken aback for a moment, but after that, he smiled with relief.
The reason why Han Family Shipping is where it is today is entirely because Jiang Wang provided money, effort, and manpower behind it. Otherwise, how could Han Family Shipping be so powerful that even the Cao family dares not offend it?
The Han family head could understand it, but the Han family elders couldn't.
“No, the Han family shipping can be managed by outsiders, as long as the shipping is more profitable, that’s fine. The Han family shipping must be owned by the Han family,” the eldest patriarch of the Han clan was the first to stand up and object.
The head of the Han family was in charge, but as the Han family's shipping business took off, the status of the head of the Han family's elders and his uncles naturally rose as well, gaining respect, status, and money.
"Yes, Father, what right does she have to change the name of Han Family Shipping?!" Seeing that his family fortune was about to fall into someone else's hands, the young master of Han felt dizzy and shouted at the head of the Han family.
"Han Family Shipping only uses the Han family name," the Han family head said, handing a contract to Yin Rou. "From now on, shipping will be handled by you, Miss."
"What's the meaning?!"
"What's the meaning??!"
"..."
A series of loud, probing questions followed, all directed at the Han family head.
The head of the Han family glanced at his only son and said, "I am just someone who runs the business for the family. The family doesn't want to reveal their identity, so they just register the shipping under my name."
The facts revealed by the Han family head struck the Han family members present like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving them dizzy and wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Even if you were running it for someone else at the beginning, Han Family Shipping has been in your hands for over a decade! How can you just give it up like that?!"
"Han Dazu Lao said loudly."
“Yes, at most they’ll just give you money. The one who truly made Han Family Shipping strong is you! Han Family Shipping is yours! Kill Yin Rou, and Han Family Shipping will still be ours!” said the second elder of the Han clan.
Yin Rou glanced nervously at Xia Mo.
The Han family's shipping business was so large and their assets so numerous, amounting to nearly a million taels of silver, that it was enough to tempt someone to kill them to cover it up.
"After they die, if anyone asks, just say they were killed by river bandits. What does that have to do with us?" Elder Han San advised.
The head of the Han family frowned.
Xia Mo, with an ordinary face, looked at the Han family head with a half-smile.
The Han family patriarch hurriedly gave Xia Mo a fawning, bitter smile, then turned and rebuked his relatives, saying, "I would never do anything to kill or harm others! The Han family's shipping business has nothing to do with me!"
The members of the Han family looked at the head of the Han family as if he were an enemy.
“Listen to your uncle’s advice and quickly take back the documents you handed over,” said Elder Han.
At this moment, the doorway had been blocked by the younger generation of the Han family to prevent Xia Mo and his group from sneaking away with the documents.
"This young lady is the one the head of the family assigned to Miss Yin. She will report everything we do to the head of the family," the head of the Han family said, still not wanting to cause a major conflict with his family. So he glanced at Xia Mo, who was disguised as a maid, and introduced her identity.
"So that's how it is! No wonder such a capable girl appeared beside Yin Rou! So that's how it is! But even so, you can't give up the Han family's shipping business. You have to think about your son! Such a large family business, don't you want your son to inherit it?!" After his initial surprise, the Second Elder of the Han Clan continued to persuade the Han family head.
The Han family head gave Xia Mo a pleading smile, then turned to his relatives and gave them a bitter smile.
