Chapter 571 - 571: Coincidence



The soldiers brought all the corpses back and handed them to Lo Pingsha to examine one by one to see if he could find any clues from their corpses. Ling Hai stayed behind to help him.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan could not help and could only go back for the time being.

When the old servants saw that they were back, they hurriedly prepared hot food for them.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were a little distracted. No one spoke at the dining table.

Seeing this, the old servant standing at the side thought that the couple had quarreled, so he began to find something to talk about, wanting to help the two of them ease the atmosphere.

“The residence bought cinnamon today. This is the first batch of cinnamon this year. It’s very tender. In the past, when Master and Madam were still around, they had to eat cinnamon scrambled eggs every spring.” Thinking of the past, Yu Niaoniao felt wistful.

She was even less in the mood to eat and asked casually.

“When did you arrive at the Feng family?”

The old servant recounted the past.

“I’m the son of the family. My father used to serve the Old Master. Back then, the Old Master and the Matriarch were out of town doing something and bought two servants locally. My father was one of them.”

“Later, my father followed the Old Master and Matriarch back to Jinguan City and got to know the maidservant at home.”

“They had a good impression of each other. When Matriarch Lu found out, she arranged a match for the two of them and facilitated this marriage. Then they gave birth to me.”

Xiao Juan, who was originally eating quietly, suddenly asked.

“Old Master and Matriarch have been overseas?

The old servant nodded and answered honestly.

“That’s right. He was gone for a full three years. Matriarch Lu was pregnant at that time. When the two of them returned home, Young Master was not even a month old.”

Xiao Juan was deep in thought before asking.

“What did they go out of town for?”

The old servant hesitated.

Yu Niaoniao said, “We’re all family. There’s no need to have any scruples. Tell me what you know.”

The old servant thought about it and agreed. Missy and Young Master were not outsiders. It did not matter even if those things were said.

“I heard this from my father. The Old Master and Matriarch were a young couple and had a deep relationship. However, for some reason, she had not been pregnant after being married for many years.”

“There were many rumors outside that the Matriarch could not give birth. I won’t mention the details. In short, it wasn’t very pleasant.”

“The Old Master brought Matriarch out to look for a physician and saw many of them.

“In the end, the heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. They finally found the divine physician. Matriarch successfully got pregnant and gave birth to a child, who became Master and your father.”

Yu Niaoniao could not help but guess…

Perhaps the Old Master and Matriarch did not find any divine physician back then, and the Matriarch did not get pregnant as she wished.

The child they had brought back was not their biological child either.

She turned to look at Xiao Juan and saw that he was also looking at her.

Their eyes met. They said nothing, but they already understood each other’s thoughts.

Yu Niaoniao knew that Xiao Juan’s thoughts coincided with hers.

After dinner, they went back into the room.

Closing the door, they were alone in the room.

Only then did Yu Niaoniao speak.

“I want to go to the Zhang family again tomorrow. I have something to ask Village Head Zhang.”

Village Head Zhang was the oldest person in a hundred miles. He definitely Imew more about those ancient things than others. Xiao Juan hugged her and gently patted her back. “I’ll go with you tomorrow. Go to sleep.”

“Yeah.

Lo Pingsha and Ling Hai were busy until the next morning.

As Xiao Juan had expected, they could not find any useful clues on the assassin’s corpse.

Those assassins were death warriors who had been trained for a long time. They were prepared to sacrifice their lives for their master at any time. They would never expose their master’s identity, let alone leave clues on them that might expose their identity.

Because they had been busy all night, Lo Pingsha and Ling Hai were very tired.

Yu Niaoniao asked the two of them to eat something and rest. Then, she instructed the servants in the residence not to disturb their rest unless necessary.

Then, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan rode out of the city.

Village Head Zhang naturally welcomed them warmly and poured tea for them enthusiastically. He even asked his daughters-in-law to quickly bring out the melon seeds and peanuts they had fried at home.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “You’re welcome, Grandpa. We’re here today to ask you something.”

Village Head Zhang asked what it was about.

Yu Niaoniao said, “When did Li Niang come to Jinguan City when she was pregnant?”

Village Head Zhang thought carefully. “It should have been thirty-nine years ago.”

If Feng Lianghan was still alive, he would be 39 years old this year.

Could this be a coincidence?

Yu Niaoniao continued to ask, “I heard that my grandparents went overseas for three years and came back with a child. Do you still remember this?”

Village Head Zhang laughed. “Isn’t that your father they brought back?! Of course, I remember this. My father and I even went to the Feng family to celebrate your father’s one-month-old celebration! At that time, your grandmother was not in good health and didn’t have enough milk to feed the child. It was Grandma Sun who helped her find a nanny.”

Hearing Grandma Sun’s name again, Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat.

She tried to remain calm and asked.

“Was Li Niang still in Jinguan City at that time?”

Zhang Lizheng was not very sure about this.

“She should still be around. She had just given birth at that time and was still very weak. She couldn’t leave even if she wanted to. As for when she left Jinguan City, I didn’t know.”

She usually stays at Auntie Sun’s house and rarely shows her face in front of outsiders. Other than Auntie Sun, no one knows about her.”

These things seemed to tell Yu Niaoniao that her guess was probably true.

Village Head Zhang was very puzzled. “Why did you suddenly think of asking about these things?”

Yu Niaoniao pretended to smile casually.

“Nothing. I just want to know more about my father’s past.”

Before Village Head Zhang could ask again, she pleaded right on the heels of him.

“Can you describe Li Niang in detail when she was young? I want to draw a portrait of her. ”

Although Zhang Lizheng still felt puzzled, he agreed readily out of trust in her.

“Okay.”

The descendants of the Zhang family were all studying and had pens, ink, paper, and inkstones at home.

Zhang Li was asking his eldest son to help him get a pen and paper.

Then, Zhang Lizheng dictated, and Yu Niaoniao drew according to his description.

Because too much time had passed and Zhang Lizheng was very old, his memory was inevitably a little blurry. He often got stuck as he spoke and had to think for a long time before he could continue.

Yu Niaoniao was very patient and tried her best to help him recall the past.

It took more than four hours to finish this painting.

After that, Yu Niaoniao held the portrait in front of Village Head Zhang.

“Do you think it looks like it?”

Zhang Lizheng followed the light outside the door and looked over. He saw that the woman on the paper had long eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose, and cherry lips. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her black hair was like clouds. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was as beautiful as a fairy.

The only pity was the scar on her face.

Her beautiful face was greatly affected, making people sigh.

Zhang Lizheng nodded hurriedly.

“Yes, yes, yes.. She looked like this when she was young!”
