Li Zi soon went to the He family to meet his grandparents and recognized his family, led by his fourth uncle He Xin.

Mr. He and Mrs. He thought that they would never see their exiled children and grandchildren again in this life. They did not expect that one day they would reunite with their grandchildren. When they heard that their little granddaughter was also in the Chengenhou Mansion, they were immediately excited.

Tears flowed freely. The old lady chanted Buddha's name repeatedly and said she would go to the temple to offer incense to fulfill her vow. When the two elders learned that their grandson and daughter were saved by Wu Shaoying, the two gray-haired old people even knelt down and kowtowed to him. What happened to Wu Shaoying?

Will you accept it? Let's talk it out, ask Li Zi to help the old man up, and then the matter will be over.

When the He family calmed down a little, everyone went into the house to sit and talk. Mr. He choked with tears and mentioned the difficult experience of asking for news about his children and grandchildren over the years: "We got the letter in our hometown, and we were scared to death. Fortunately, the minister has a lot of money, so I won't follow you.

Dad was worried about it, but he was kind enough to save the ancestral home and ancestral property for us two old people, so that we, the old couple, would not have a livelihood when we got old. Unfortunately, I am old and confused, and I want to go to Beijing to save your father, but I have no way.

, I had to trust someone else, but I met a liar again. The house was gone, the land was gone, and I was still in debt to my relatives and friends. It was so shameless! In other words, you fourth uncle is filial and would rather give up all your family property.

He was sold to pay off our debts, and his biological son was no more than that. Your grandma and I have only raised one child, your father, in our lives. We thought we could enjoy a few more years of happiness with him, but we didn’t expect that the blessing would only last a few days.

, suffered a disaster. If it weren’t for your fourth uncle, our old bones would have turned into ashes! And because of us, he was asked to sell himself as a slave. Every time I think about it, I feel that it will be shameless to die in the future.

Meet his parents!"

Mrs. He also shed tears after hearing this. He Xin and his wife quickly comforted the two elders in a low voice. Li Zi felt sad after hearing this, and knelt down to kowtow to He Xin, thanking him for his grace in saving his grandparents. He Xin quickly helped him up:

"Don't say such things. I lost my parents when I was a child. My uncle and aunt raised me and treated me like my own son. I also regard my uncle and aunt as my biological father and mother. My uncle and aunt have

How can I just watch it happen despite the difficulties? I'm just doing my duty. If you want to thank me, wouldn't you treat me like an outsider?" Li Zi then gave up.

Everyone continued to sit still, and Mr. He said again: "At that time, both of us were ill. We struggled to get to the capital, but we couldn't do anything. And because of the cost of medicine, your fourth uncle had to become a slave.

.I really wanted to die at that time, just because I thought that even if I had to die, I would still want to see your father and ask him why he did such shameless things! If I don’t get a reason, I will

Even if you die, you will die with your eyes open!"

He Xin whispered to Li Zi: "I can't understand it either. Since I entered the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, I have devoted myself to doing things for the second master. Gradually, I have become somewhat respectable. I can get to know some high-ranking officials and occasionally visit other people."

I was able to meet people from the Tang family, so I thought of ways to ask people who knew your father in the past. Some said it was because your father wanted your eldest sister to enter the East Palace and become the crown prince's concubine, and needed money; others said

, it’s because your mother was greedy for money and gave your father a blow; some people say it’s because your mother didn’t like your aunt and knew that she was from the Tang family, so she wanted to bring bad luck to the Tang family, so she

Without a backer, you can let your mother abuse you from now on. No one can tell which of these statements is true. I just think that there are many ridiculous things here, and your father will not really think of it because of it.

Are you abandoning your mentor for such a ridiculous reason?"

Li Zi's eyes turned red and he said: "My aunt has always been humble and courteous in front of my wife, and my grandparents are also aware of her temperament. It's just that my wife... really doesn't like her very much, but she just hinders the Tang family and doesn't dare to cause trouble."

That's all. My father made a big mistake, and it was indeed related to his wife's persuasion. My wife really wanted to send the eldest sister to the East Palace, so she persuaded my father to embezzle money from the Yamen. But when she returned to the Tang family, the eldest sister would not be happy with Mrs. Tang.

There was no chance of entering the palace, so the wife and eldest sister held a grudge from then on. I once heard someone say that my father was communicating with others to set a trap to frame Tang Shangshu. It was also when the wife and eldest sister took advantage of the opportunity to go out to socialize and communicate with others.

It was discussed. My father agreed to such a thing in a confused way, and kept it from my aunt... He was sentenced, but it is not unjust."

Mr. He's face turned gloomy: "I should have guessed... it is indeed the case. Even if the people around him make big mistakes, if your father hadn't been confused himself, he wouldn't have left so much evidence of guilt. In this case,

No matter what outcome he ends up with, he deserves it. I just pretend that I don’t have this son, and that’s it!”

Old Mrs. He cried so hard that she couldn't breathe: "He shouldn't have been allowed to marry such a wicked woman in the first place! If it hadn't been for the prodigal woman's instigation, my son would not have done such a thing!"

Mr. He waved his hand: "It's also because his ears are too soft. If he can really control it and understand what should be done and what should not be done, no matter how much his mother-in-law talks, he will not be moved. Don't do it either.

I have given my son a lot of money, but I just thought I was raising him for nothing. Anyway, now that Axin is here, isn’t Axin a hundred times better than him?!"

Old Mrs. He couldn't help crying loudly, and He Xin's wife hurriedly hugged her and whispered to comfort her. When the old lady stopped crying, she choked and asked Li Zi: "How have you been living all the way to the northwest? Your father...

I heard that he died on the road, I wonder...where is he buried?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Li Zi's eyes: "My father died only after arriving in Xing County, and it was my aunt who died on the way. Where did my grandmother hear the news?"

Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, and He Xin's wife hurriedly said: "We also asked someone to inquire. We only know that someone died along the way. We also heard that your father fell ill on the way and was very ill, so we

Just thought..."

Li Zi sighed: "My father became ill in prison, and his condition became more and more serious along the way, but he still managed to make it to Xingxian County. The person who died halfway was my aunt. My father was very ill at that time, and neither his wife nor my eldest brother and eldest sister wanted to

I took care of my aunt's funeral. My sister was young, so I asked the servants to find an open space in the woods on the roadside, dug a hole, and then buried my aunt hastily. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find her back in the future, so I still used it.

A mark was made on the grave. But after so many years, I don’t know if the mark is still there. If there is a chance in the future, I still have to take my aunt back and bury her."

As for He's father, he didn't last long after he arrived in Xingxian. After his death, he was buried at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of the county, and a tombstone was erected. All the officials who were exiled like He's father were buried in that area.

.Li Zi remembers the approximate location, so it’s no problem to go back and look for it.

He Xin sighed: "I see. When I had time to ask someone to inquire, it had been several years. I only heard that your father had disappeared on the way, and that his wife and children had arrived in Xing County. No matter how much information I had, I couldn't find out anything.

Arrived. It wasn’t until a few years ago that General Ma came back from the northwest. Some of his soldiers had been stationed in Xing County. I asked people to inquire about it and found out that your father’s family left after the amnesty that year.

Xing County, I haven’t heard any news since. Some people say that your eldest sister got married and lived a good life, while others said that your mother took you brothers and sisters back to her hometown. We even asked someone to go back to our hometown to look for you.

, but there was no trace, so I thought it was probably just a rumor."

Li Zi was startled for a moment, but he didn't expect that He Xin asked someone to inquire about this information. This is not false. I'm afraid he needs to change the lies he made up before. Otherwise, if he just said that his aunt and others had escaped, it would only

I'm afraid that the information I get back from He Xin won't match up, and I'm afraid that it will be easy for him to get involved.

He thought for a while and then said: "My wife and us brothers and sisters suffered a lot in Xingxian County for a while. Only when the emperor's grace granted the world amnesty did we escape from the sea of ​​suffering. But we were penniless at that time, even if we wanted to return to our hometown

, there are also very difficult problems. I will look for

The eldest brother discussed whether we could find some work to save travel expenses, so that we could go back to our hometown to see our grandparents. But the eldest brother ignored me and said that I didn’t need to worry about it. They had lived a hard enough life and didn’t want to go back to their hometown to be poor again. Madam

I've already found it for my eldest sister.

A good family was about to get married. It was a wealthy businessman who was passing by. Although he had a wife at home, he had been serving his parents-in-law in his hometown. The wealthy businessman was doing business outside and wanted to take a beautiful concubine. The betrothal gifts were sent to his home.

Yes, my wife is very close to my eldest brother and eldest sister.

I am happily preparing my dowry. I wonder how this can be done? Not to mention that she is a businessman, after all, the eldest sister is also a scholarly official. How can she be willing to work as a concubine for others? I tried to persuade my wife to marry her.

Brother, don’t agree to that businessman’s marriage.”

Mr. He's face turned dark: "That's true. Our old He family has been working and studying for generations. We are also a decent family. That is to say, your father did something bad and tarnished our ancestors. But no matter what, our old He family's

A daughter cannot be a concubine! Still

Being a concubine for a businessman, what do they want?! Your wife is confused. She comes from a businessman's family. She only has money in her eyes, so she has taught the girls of our He family bad things. Your eldest brother is as stupid as a pig.

!He is also worthy to be a descendant of our He family?!"

After scolding him, he asked with concern: "What happened next? Did your eldest sister really get married?"

Li Zi's eyes turned red: "I don't know. Because I tried hard to persuade my wife and eldest brother not to marry my eldest sister. My eldest sister felt that I was hindering her wealth and bright future, so she slandered her in front of my wife and had her murdered the next day.

Come, sell me and my sister! The eldest sister still felt that it was not enough, so she specially told the man to sell me to a small shop."

"What did you say?!" Mr. He's vision went dark and he almost fainted from anger, "How dare that girl say such a thing?! You are her brother!"

Old Mrs. He grabbed Li Zi's hand nervously: "What happened next? Did you...did you..." She didn't even dare to say the last half of the sentence, her eyes were filled with fear.

Li Zi held her grandmother's hand with her backhand and said, "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson is fine." The man, Yazi, took my sister and me out of the house. When he saw me crying pitifully, he told me that he had never seen such a cruel sister.

She is not afraid of thunder and lightning. They are scumbags who still want to accumulate more virtues. He gave me

I was sold to a theater troupe, and I was asked to learn martial arts, and my sister was sold to be a girl. Our brother and sister are not far apart, and I can occasionally go to see my sister. Later, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Wu, who is a very kind-hearted man.

Someone spent money to buy us brother and sister out, and we were reunited and out of the pit of fire."

Mrs. He burst into tears and threw herself in front of Wu Shaoying to kowtow: "Benefactor!"
