Wu Zhi returned to his position, crossed his legs, and looked at the man in front of him: "Tell me, who are you and why did you come to my house so early in the morning?"
"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Tiancheng. I am your wife and Pan Jinlian's biological uncle."
Wu Zhi's brows couldn't help but twitch, and he looked up and down at Li Tiancheng again.
"You said he is my wife's uncle. What evidence is there?"
When Li Tiancheng came now, he was already prepared. He immediately took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened the bag, and inside was a thick genealogy.
"This is the genealogy of our Li family."
Wu Zhi took the genealogy, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes lit up!
There was a look of surprise in his pupils.
This Li family tree is actually related to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty!
Judging from the genealogy, the man named Li Tiancheng in front of him is actually a descendant of the Li royal family.
However, the Li Tang royal family has been extinct for more than 180 years, and this genealogy is no longer of much use.
But Wu Zhi still found clues on the last page of the family tree. According to the family tree, Pan Jinlian's grandmother gave birth to two boys and one girl.
The girl is Pan Jinlian’s mother, and the boys are older and younger. This Li Tiancheng is the son of Pan Jinlian’s grandmother.
He is only five or six years older than Pan Jinlian. According to folk tradition, he is the "little uncle".
While Wu Zhi was looking at the genealogy, Bai Sheng rushed in hastily. He stood beside Wu Zhi and whispered a few words.
Wu Zhi shook his eyes slightly, and then smiled.
"I see. It seems that you are really my wife's uncle."
After receiving Wu Zhi's approval, Li Tiancheng crossed his legs and raised his head high like the others just now.
"That's right! I'm your wife's biological uncle. As the old saying goes, a mother-in-law is more powerful than a mother-in-law! How did you, your nephew-in-law, do it?"
"It's okay if you didn't know I was your uncle just now. How come you know my identity now? Why don't you ask someone to come over to watch the tea and pour water!"
Wu Zhi looked at Li Tiancheng, the smile on his face unchanged.
Through Bai Sheng, he already knew that this Li Tiancheng was called here by Ximen Qing.
At that time, Pan Jinlian's entire family was confiscated, and her maternal clan was also involved.
The people in the family are dying and being sold.
Nowadays, the only ones living in this world are Pan Jinlian, sister and brother, and her uncle who is about the same age.
The reason why Li Tiancheng was able to survive was because he was sold to a remote area at a young age.
This can also explain why Li Tiancheng has been exposed to the sun for a long time and his hands and feet also look a little rough.
Li Tiancheng was also sold to a cave, not far from Pan Jinlian.
Although this uncle knew that he had a niece, his family background was not good, and the family he was sold to was not a son, but a cow and a horse.
He wakes up early and works hard at night every day, doing menial tasks. Of course, he has never paid attention to his nephews and siblings whom he has never met.
Wu Zhi clapped his hands, and immediately a maid came in to pour water and snacks for Li Tiancheng.
Li Tiancheng came hungry in the morning. As soon as he saw the exquisite snacks, he quickly grabbed them and put them in his mouth, eating them happily!
While eating, Li Tiancheng seemed to think of his mission.
He quickly said to Wu Zhi: "Go in quickly and call out my nephew and niece."
Wu Zhi smiled and said nothing. He clapped his hands again, and Shi Qian brought someone in with a small box and placed it in front of Li Tiancheng.
Li Tiancheng glanced at the box on the ground and suddenly sneered.
"What's in your box should be copper coins, right?"
"Why, you want to imitate those wealthy officials and use such dirty tricks to bribe me?"
