Chapter 1182: Finding Uncle Li from the Li Family
Upon hearing the news, Ying Xi's face brightened, "Then, do you know..."
Tan Ping nodded, "After your parents passed away, both you and your brother, along with other siblings from the Ying family, were sold. The relatives and friends who were originally close to the Ying family were afraid of getting involved and didn't dare to step forward. Later, it was the family of Ying's wife who went to the charity farm to claim the bodies and arranged their burial."
Ying Xi's expression froze, Ying's wife's family?
Her stepfather's name was Ying Qi, and he had two sons and a daughter with his first wife, Li Shi, who passed away due to illness in the tenth year after their marriage.
Three years later, he remarried Ying Xi's mother as his second wife.
However, they hadn't been living happily for long before the disaster struck, and none of the Ying family members survived.
After the remarriage, the family of Ying's first wife had little contact with the Ying family. They only visited occasionally to see how their nephew and niece were doing.
Unexpectedly, after the disaster befell the Ying family, it was the family of Ying's first wife who handled the aftermath.
Ying Xi didn't know where the Li family was located and had never been there before, so she could only ask Tan Ping.
Tan Ping also wasn't very sure but said, "Wait a moment, I'll inquire about it for you."
"Thank you, Brother Tan."
Tan Ping waved his hand, turned around, and went back to the prison.
Ying Xi felt a bit nervous. She had always been anxious, fearing the worst, as she didn't know what happened to the bodies of the deceased prisoners.
Now that she knew someone had handled the aftermath, regardless of who it was, Ying Xi felt grateful to that person.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder. Ying Xi turned around and saw Shu Yu smiling, "Don't be nervous; it's good that we found something."
"Yes."
After about a quarter of an hour, Tan Ping returned.
He had changed into clean clothes, and the bloody smell had dissipated quite a bit. He told Ying Xi, "The Li family is on Dafang Street, but I don't know the exact location. Let's go to Dafang Street and inquire further."
"Okay."
Tan Ping turned his head and looked at Meng Yunzheng in the carriage, "Sir, will you wait here for a moment?"
"No need. Dafang Street is probably not nearby. We'll go by carriage, and it'll be faster."
Indeed, Dafang Street was not close, otherwise, Tan Ping, who had been living around here for a long time, wouldn't be unaware of its location.
Tan Ping was somewhat surprised. He was now even more certain that the young lady and young master they had encountered were kind-hearted people. Otherwise, how could they treat a servant girl so well?
Since they insisted, Tan Ping didn't refuse. However, he didn't go into the carriage and instead sat on the shaft of the carriage, taking the reins from Ying Xi and guiding the way.
When they arrived at Dafang Street, Tan Ping got off the carriage first and asked the neighbors for information.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, and the second person they asked happened to know their family. He directly led them to the door of the Li family.
Tan Ping knocked on the door, and soon, a man in his fifties came out. He had some white hair on his temples and squinted at the people at the door, asking, "Who are you looking for?"
Tan Ping introduced himself, and when the man heard he was a prison guard, his expression changed slightly. He nervously said, "We didn't commit any crimes. Why are you looking for our family?"
"We want to inquire about the burial place of Ying Qi and his wife."
The man furrowed his brows, "What do you want to ask them for? This matter happened several years ago. Could there be any problems with the case? But they are all dead."
