It took a while before the three of them were surprised to calm down, and Li Le'er thought of letting the person go to the front hall and sitting and talking. In the joy of reuniting for a long time, she and her daughter both ignored the fact that the servants at home were missing, but instead she was busy making tea for Li Ling and bringing some fruits and vegetables from the house.

After Li Ling sat down, he completely calmed down. After stopping his sister from being polite, he couldn't help asking his biggest doubt: "Sister, what happened back then? Why did you live here for more than ten years? Also, why didn't you send me a letter? For the past ten years, I thought you and Tangtang had long been..."

These questions were unstoppable when they saw their sister and niece standing in front of them safely, because it was too unreasonable.

Not to mention how difficult it is for ordinary people of this era to move from Huaibei to Huguang. It is a miracle to survive the killing of the city. However, after many years of silence, the Luotian Sect raised its troops again and captured a county town. Moreover, their target was the Wei family, which attracted the wind from the local tree.

Not to mention that Li Le'er and his daughter are just two weak women, in such an environment, even men will most likely die in that chaos. But they actually survived, and they hid everyone, and continued to live a peaceful life in Huguang, thousands of miles away. Nothing here can be done.

As Li Ling asked, the surprise smile on Li Le'er's face gradually disappeared. It was obvious that she recalled the suffering and fright, and panic flashed in her eyes. But her own brother asked solemnly that she naturally couldn't hide it perfunctorily. So after a moment of silence, she said quietly:

"I still remember how happy I was when you were taken home with Tangtang by Lingdi. At that time, I thought that our family would live a good life like this in the future. However, the Wei family refused to let me go. When you went to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination, they rushed into our house with their soldiers and wanted to take us away.

"Although the family and neighbors wanted to help us at that time, they had the support of officers and soldiers. Although Uncle Tong tried to argue with them desperately, he was also injured by them. In order not to let more people be injured, I could only go back with them. What I thought at that time was that as long as Brother Ling, you really passed the Juren exam, then our Li family would not have to be afraid of them. Maybe I could be taken home by you..." As she said that, she looked at her brother with some sadness, then quickly lowered her head and continued,

"After being taken back to the Wei family, Tangtang and I did not suffer much. We were just locked up in their ancestral hall and were not allowed to contact outsiders. In fact, this is good, at least my daughter and I don't have to worry about being retaliated by him. But just when I thought I could wait for you to pick us up, that night, the city suddenly became chaotic, with fighting everywhere and fires everywhere.

"I don't know what happened, so I could only hid in the corner of the ancestral hall with Tangtang in my arms... Then the gate of the ancestral hall was hit hard by someone, and many fierce guys rushed in and killed everyone when they saw it. The Wei family members in the ancestral hall were killed by them. At that time, they also discovered me and thought I was not spared. As a result, a leader asked someone to take me out and did not make things difficult for me... Maybe they took a fancy to me..."

Li Le'er smiled bitterly: "I should have died to save my reputation, but I still have a daughter around me, so I couldn't muster up the courage in the end."

"Mom..." Tangtang had long since lost the terrible scene. Now, when he heard his mother recalling that time, he was not only afraid, but also deeply moved. After screaming, he reached out and held his mother's hand.

"It's okay, everything is over." Li Le'er smiled, "Just when I thought I was going to be unsafe, my father suddenly appeared at this moment and saved us..."

Li Ling's expression moved and finally spoke: "Are you saying that my father took the risk to rescue you from those Luotian traitors?" Is this the one he thought he could not do anything and would only cheat him? The one who owed dozens of taels of silver and then ran away and never showed up in front of him has the courage and ability?

No, the more important thing is, how could he appear in Jiangbei County so timely? He actually saved his sister and the others!

Li Le'er looked confused: "What Luotian Sect? I only know that it was a group of robbers who committed rebellion. They killed people and set fires and did everything, and then I fell into their hands. My father happened to come to Jiangbei County to see me, and then he happened to see Tangtang and me being held in that room by them. He took advantage of the opportunity of relaxing and climbed in through the window.

"I was shocked at that time until I saw clearly that he was Daddy. Then with the help of Daddy, we flipped out of the window and took advantage of the mess in the city and it was dark, and we fumbled out of the county town little by little."

After listening to my sister's story, Li Ling's suspicion became deeper. It was that simple? In that small county town that had been destroyed by the Luotian Sect and countless people were killed, his powerless father could find the elder sister and daughter so easily, and even took them out of the city smoothly? And there were no twists and turns in it?

Even if a master like Shao Qiuxi takes action to rescue him, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth!

However, he could also see that his sister had no falsehood when she said this. At least she thought so over the years. It was her father who took the risk of saving her mother and daughter from the danger of death at any time.

So Li Ling didn't question anything, just asked: "Then you came all the way to Huguang and Xiangfan?"

"Well... I originally wanted to go back to find you, but my father said that there was a big mess in Jiangbei and it affected the entire Huaibei area. We had to leave first to ensure safety. So we took a car and a boat trip. After a long time, we finally got to a foot in Xiangfan. Later, my father found a place to live and make money here, and we settled here all the time."

"Why haven't you thought about contacting me over the years? Even if you send me a letter and send someone to pass on my safety!" Li Ling couldn't help asking again.

Li Le'er lowered her head a little uneasy: "Of course I thought about it, especially when I first arrived here, I told my father that we have to find you and Yue'er, so that you can know that we are safe. But father said that he had already inquired about it. This time the matter of the Wei family was completely stalemate, and the government was catching possible suspects everywhere, and we escaped like this, and it is very likely that they have been identified as accomplices of the bandits. If we contact you at this time, it is afraid that it will bring you danger.

"And later, my father tried his best to go to Jiangcheng County to inquire, and then he realized that you were indeed affected, especially Lingdi, you lost your fame and fortune because of this matter. Not to mention passing the imperial examination, even the fame of the scholars before was taken away... Then, because you and Yue'er were forced by the government, they had to leave Jiangcheng in the end, and there was no news about you again..."

Speaking of this, Li Le'er looked at her brother with a guilty look: "Brother Ling, it was her sister who harmed you. If I hadn't gone back with you, if my sister had died in the chaos in Jiangbei that day, you would not have been harmed by the government. Maybe now they are officials of the court. It was her sister who delayed you..." Speaking of this, she could no longer control her emotions and tears flowed down.

After hearing these twists and turns, Tangtang, who was standing beside him, shed tears and cried, "Mom... Uncle, my mother didn't mean it, don't blame her, okay?" As he said that, his eyes were crying and looking at Li Ling pitifully.

Li Ling, who was looked at by the mother and the mother, was completely confused at this time. What did he say? Why did his sister have such a misunderstanding? He actually thought that he was affected by her affairs and did not even have fame? So in her eyes, he was an ordinary citizen at this time?

Immediately, he changed his mind again, knowing where the problem was, it was his cheap dad! Everything was said by him, instilling such completely wrong information into his sister, which made her have a wrong understanding and felt guilty until today!

My sister has never been a person with independent thinking ability, otherwise she would not have suffered any grievances in the Wei family. This is a tragedy for all women in this era. Then she was saved by her biological father, so how could she have any doubts about it? Naturally, she would naturally believe whatever her father said next, because in her opinion, her father really did not have any need to lie to her.

But in fact, my father caught this point and made up a big lie, keeping them in the dark for ten years! If he hadn't found them today, they might have been deceived for the rest of their lives!

But why? Why did the cheap dad do all this? He deliberately concealed his situation to prevent his sister from finding him? Or was he worried that the father and son would have contact, and then he could see something?

The chaotic thoughts quickly circulated in Li Ling's heart. He had already had a clear answer. But the most important thing now is to comfort his sister, so he quickly said: "Sister, don't say that. I was not affected by you, let alone blame you. You are also a victim."

"Really?" Li Le'er felt a little wider when she heard this, and looked at her brother again. She didn't see any resentment in his face. It was not until this time that she remembered a key point: "Brother Ling, how did you find us? Did Dad inform you?"

"No, this matter is a long story. Why don't you leave with me first, and then I will tell you the truth slowly." Since you have noticed that there is something wrong with your father, Li Ling certainly doesn't want to let his sister and the others take risks here anymore, so he wants to take them away.

But the mother and daughter were obviously hesitant: "But Dad (Grandpa)..."
