Chapter 1183: At Dongshantou
"Old man, you've misunderstood." Tan Ping smiled and said, "The case has long been closed, so there won't be any problems."
He asked Ying Xi to step forward and introduced her, "This is Miss Ying Xi, the youngest daughter of Ying Qi and Jiang Shi. She is passing through Huajiang Prefecture and wants to inquire about her parents' situation to pay her respects."
Upon hearing Ying Xi's identity, Old Man Li's eyes widened. However, soon after, his gaze began to wander.
Sensing something amiss, Ying Xi anxiously asked, "Uncle Li from the Li family, please tell me where my parents are."
Old Man Li waved his hand, "I don't know. I..."
Tan Ping also felt that something was wrong and frowned, "Old man, I've already inquired about it. It was indeed you who handled the aftermath of the Ying family back then."
Old Man Li seemed a little afraid of Tan Ping's identity. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't avoid it and said, "I did handle their bodies. If you want to pay your respects to your mother, go to Dongshantou. That's where she's buried."
"What about Ying Qi?" Tan Ping found it strange.
As expected, Old Man Li slapped his thigh and said, "Ying Qi must be buried in the ancestral grave of the Ying family."
He glanced at Ying Xi, feeling that he hadn't done anything wrong, and continued, "After all, Ying Qi and my little sister were a couple in their original marriage. Naturally, they should be buried together. As for your mother, she was a concubine and didn't give birth to any sons or daughters for the Ying family, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be buried in the ancestral grave, right?"
His voice became lower as he spoke.
Ying Xi sighed with relief. Whether her mother was buried in the Ying family's ancestral grave or not didn't matter much. She had thought that her mother hadn't been properly buried, but now that she knew she was at Dongshantou, she felt relieved.
She looked up and saw that Uncle Li from the Li family seemed a little afraid, so she bowed respectfully and spoke seriously, "Uncle Li, I don't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you. In that situation back then, you could still handle my mother's burial, and I'm extremely grateful."
Uncle Li felt relieved when he heard her words and whispered, "It's good that you understand."
Ying Xi continued, "But the area around Dongshantou is very large, and I don't know the exact location. Can I ask Uncle Li to accompany me there?"
Uncle Li furrowed his brows, feeling a bit reluctant, but with Tan Ping present, he could only say, "Fine, I'll take you there."
"Thank you."
This time, Shu Yu and Meng Yun Zhe didn't follow them. They left the carriage to Ying Xi, asking her to go and return early. They decided to wander around nearby.
Huajiang Prefecture was more prosperous than Dong'an Prefecture, and prices were slightly higher.
Shu Yu thought that when the production of melon seeds and sunflower oil increased, they might consider setting up a shop here.
Especially since Huajiang Prefecture had a port, it was convenient to travel to the capital, and there were many merchants coming and going.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and said to Meng Yun Zhe, "Let's see if there's a suitable shop nearby."
Unfortunately, although Dafang Street was lively, it wasn't considered a prime location in Huajiang Prefecture and was a bit far from the port.
Shu Yu didn't feel like wandering around anymore and saw a restaurant not far away. They decided to have some tea there while waiting for Ying Xi to return.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, Shu Yu's eyes suddenly fell on a small object on the counter.
