”Little Xi, what are you looking at?” Seeing his granddaughter in a daze, Old Madem said anxiously, ”Let's go in quickly and take a look. Your father and mother should be back soon.”

Hanxi did not dare delay, and immediately helped her grandmother into the tavern, and asked the owner, saying that they had gone out and were not in the tavern.

Since the Old Madem didn't want to, he said that she wanted to wait at the shop. Hanxi naturally followed his grandmother and sat down.

Upstairs, Ershan had just awoken and the unfamiliar and cold faces were no longer in front of him. In this one month of hard work, he had been placed under house arrest, his daily meals were good and his drinks were good. There were people who wanted him to take care of him, but he was not allowed to leave.

He had tried all sorts of ways to escape, but none of them had succeeded. Although it was unlikely that someone would hit him because of this, they were getting impatient, so he finally thought of a hunger strike. Even if he died, he wouldn't be locked up for a lifetime without knowing why.

”We didn't even wait for you to come home before we found our way to the capital. You really are in trouble.” The Xiaowan said with tears in his eyes, ”God bless us, Ershan, you are truly worried for us.”

Lian Yi held Ershan's hand tightly, she could not say anything. If the one she loved could come back alive, then she would be willing to do whatever the heavens wanted her to do in the future.

”Ershan, you rest first. With us here, no one will capture you again.” The Xiaowan said, she looked at Lian Yi, ”I'll leave him to you.”

Lian Yi nodded with tears in her eyes. Xiaowan was about to leave without worry, but then she turned around and Ershan called out to her.

”My brother …” The moment Ershan opened his mouth, tears fell like rain, ”Xiaowan, how did my brother die?”

Xiaowan's heart was twisted, she shook her head: ”An accident like falling off a cliff, no one wants to, Ershan, you rest first. If you still care about him, take care of your body and prepare for the conference in August to be a useful person to the country and the people. ”

She did not turn back her head and rushed outside the door. The moment she mentioned Ling Chaofeng, it felt as if his body was going to be torn apart. She wanted to stay calm.

Holding onto the railing, he saw a white-haired Old Madem and a young lady sitting in the hall.

Although there were rich and powerful people everywhere in the capital, the inn was still a market, and the local nobles didn't usually come.

The people downstairs also saw Xiaowan.

They looked at each other, and the Xiaowan nodded in a friendly manner. She turned her gaze away and was about to leave when she heard someone call out to her from downstairs, ”My wife, are you Ling Yu's family?”

Xiaowan was startled. She looked at the shopkeeper below and helplessly nodded, meaning that they were looking for Ling.

Old Madem did not wait for Xiaowan to agree as he shakily climbed up the stairs. When Xiaowan saw the old man working so hard, he unconsciously reached out to support him.

”My wife, are you Ling Yu's family? Who are you to him? ”

Old Madem saw that Xiaowan was very young, with her hair tied up in a bun. She did not dare call him by any random name, and even thought that she might be the industry's own daughter-in-law.

At this point, the Xiaowan simply confronted him openly, and said: ”I am Ling Yu's sister-in-law, why do I know my Ershan.”

”So it's his sister-in-law. What about his brother?” Old Madem looked around, her eyes filled with anticipation. She wanted to thank this family for bringing up her grandson.

”Hubby is no longer here. He left in three months.” Xiaowan lowered her eyes.

”Where did you go?” Hanxi was young, so she couldn't understand what she meant.

But when the Old Madem saw Xiaowan's expression and simple yet elegant makeup, he immediately understood. It was a pity that good people did not live long, and he only said: ”I wanted to thank you all for raising my industry, but who would have thought … Sister-in-law, please forgive me. ”

Old Madem followed Ershan and called him ”Madam Sister-in-law”. Naturally, Xiaowan did not dare to accept and wanted to carry her down to talk.

He did not know what was happening outside and immediately asked: ”Xiaowan, I will go and get some medicine for Ershan.”

Everyone was startled, the Old Madem thought for a bit and asked in surprise: ”Is the industry here?”

Furthermore, Ershan's real name was Ling Wu, and his family called him Ershan. Furthermore, his real name was Ling Wu, and he was a good person.

Only his grandmother, who cared about his grandson, could understand.

The old man barged in without explanation and saw his grandson lying on the bed. Beside the bed sat a young and beautiful girl, but at this moment, she could not see anyone except her grandson.

The Old Madem looked up and down while supporting Ershan's arm, he said worriedly: ”How are you so skinny? Industry, did they mistreat you?”

”Grandma, did you know that I was arrested by him and placed under house arrest?” Ershan asked.

Old Madem was conflicted. He stiffly nodded and said while holding onto his heart: ”He promised me, as long as your brother can smoothly pass the top scorer's test, after the exam is over, he will bring you back home. He said that if you hinder Zhenye's future, that woman would definitely not forgive him. At that time, our family would not be able to return home, and we would lose all our face. I promised him, I... But I didn't expect him to mistreat you. ”

The matter was a little complicated, and the people present were all confused. Bi Hanxi even more so, did Grandmother know where her grandson was?
