Chapter 718

With the end of the natural disaster, a lot of people in the past are gone. The second lady completely occupied the Li family. But because she and the ninth lady have no sons, and her husband is also the second ancestor, she only knows how to eat and die. The second lady urgently needs someone who is competent and obedient to take care of the Li family's property. Otherwise, the Li family will collapse sooner or later.

Among many relatives, the second lady took a fancy to song Wenjie, a distant nephew.

Song Wenjie is not the most talented one, but he is the most heartless one. He is obedient and capable. His only disadvantage is that he has a poor wife and a sour and greedy mother.

The second lady can send song Wenjie's mother to the countryside, but she can't get rid of Qiao Yu. In Song Wenjie's eyes, Qiao Yu is much more important than his mother.

What happened later was that the second lady calculated Qiao Yu, but song Wenjie ran away from home. Now the man in charge of the Li family has become the future son-in-law of the second lady.

The second lady jiuzhanquechao has her own strength and background. They can't rush to Li's house to ask the second lady to hand over the Li family.

Without evidence, even the Yamen will not deal with this kind of thing.

However, the most urgent task now is not to take back the Li family, but to find the tenth daughter of the Li family.

Song Wenjie always thought that Mrs. nine's eldest daughter was the tenth daughter of the Li family. Now Li Chanjuan says that the tenth daughter of the Li family has another person, and is one year older than Mrs. nine's eldest daughter.

This is strange. Where did the eldest daughter of the ninth lady come from?

Li Chan Juan said: "at that time, Mrs. nine remarried after her father and father came to the Li family. I didn't pay attention to her since she hadn't been with each other for more than 20 years. However, if Mrs. nine was pregnant with the Li family's children, why didn't she go back to the Li family? How could her husband's family tolerate raising other people's children at home?"

Lao Tao said, "so you mean that before she remarried, the ninth lady was pregnant with a child in secret with someone else?"

Li Chanjuan said coldly, "who knows!"

Xu Qing asked her, "don't you know where sister ten lives?"

Li Chan Juan eased her face: "I know that. I'll take you."

So Xu Qing, Li Changting and Tan Yang followed Li Chanjuan's family to a small village by carriage.

This small village is about a day's drive away from the city of lezhou. Li Chanjuan sighed: "I haven't come back for five years. I didn't expect that the road is still that way, but many people have become strangers."

Xu Qing asked, "where was your family before?"

Li Chan Juan said: "in the Li family's tea mountain, it's a deep mountain, but it's only two days away from the city of lezhou. There is also a small town on our side with roads extending in all directions. Although tea farmers live in deep mountains, they are not blocked at all. "

Speaking of her former life, Li Chanjuan can't help but miss it. She thought that she and her husband were in charge of the tea mountain, raising four children, and had no worries every day. She thought that she would spend the rest of her life like many old people in the tea mountain. She didn't expect that things were right and people were wrong in the blink of an eye.

It's boring to go on the road. Xu Qing can only take out playing cards to pass the time. Li Chanjuan and Lao Tao don't know how to play, but Tao Xin and Tao Lei are two young people who can get through at one point. They can win or lose against Li Changting and Xu Qing.

One day later, Xu Qing and his wife arrived at the village.

However, when Li Chanjuan came to her sister's house, she saw a stranger living in it.

"Li Changyan?" The family was stunned and said, "are you Li Changyan's relatives? Don't you know she moved out a year ago? "

"Moved away?" Li Chanjuan was shocked, "where did she move to, please?"

"I don't know. Anyway, she sold me her house and moved away. You can find it yourself."

Li Chan Juan flustered God: "how can this happen, how good to move away?"

Xu Qing said, "let's go to the village and find out if the village head knows."

I didn't expect that a group of well-dressed people would come to find Li Changyan and claim to be Li Changyan's relatives.

"What kind of relatives, Li Changyan's relatives have already died?" Someone said, "Li Changyan's husband was so ill that no one came to see her. Now I don't know where she went with her husband and children. A year ago, I saw that she couldn't live."

Li Chanjuan couldn't help crying when she heard the speech.

"Are you looking for Li Changyan?" The village head came out and said, "she moved away a year ago with her sick husband and two children. She didn't even come back to worship her ancestors."

"Does no one know where she went?" Xu asked? If anyone has a clue, please let us know. We will thank you very much. "

When we heard that, we couldn't help but recall that they were in the backwater of their village and were reluctant to spend a penny. If they could provide clues, we didn't know how these guests would thank them again.

In the end, people passed it around, and there was a clue.

"Just two days before Li Changyan moved away, I saw her talking to a woman outside the village. The woman looked like a servant girl of a wealthy family. She didn't dress like a lady or a young lady, but she was very proud. I saw Li Changyan accept something from her. Then two days later, Li Changyan moved away."Li Chan Juan frowned: "the servant girl of a wealthy family? Are you sure? "

The man swore to heaven: "I swear if I tell a lie, heaven strikes thunder!"

When it comes to this, the other party won't be lying to them. After all, the ancients were superstitious and didn't dare to swear poison.

Li Chanjuan asked, "do you remember what that maid looked like?"

That humanitarian: "apart from some distance, I didn't see the appearance clearly. I only remember tall and thin, with a melon face and a light green dress. I don't remember anything else. But if she appears in front of me again, I'm sure I can recognize her at a glance."

Someone guessed: "did Li Changyan leave the village after receiving the other party's money, otherwise she would not have enough money to support her family outside?"

"Was she ordered to leave?"

"But why?"

Everyone talks, but no one has any useful clues.

Xu Qing can only guess that the so-called servant girl is sent by the second lady.

After all, Li Changyan is a descendant of the Li family. If the Li family is dead and the second lady takes over the Li family, she can only be said to be lucky. But if the Li family has descendants, the second lady is shameless.

As a motive, the second lady is also the most suspect. She wants Li Changyan to go far away.

In the village to get such a little news, Xu Qing gave the man a silver as a thank you, the man was very grateful, but also attracted the envy of the villagers.
