The Daqing Dynasty has a vast territory, located in the middle of the Crescent Continent, starting from the boundless sea in the east, bordering the Canglan Sea in the west, connecting the Luofu Mountains in the north, and relying on the Youyou River in the south, there are thirteen counties in total, the Li family is located in Qingyuan County in the east of the dynasty, and the Lanshan County where Huaizhong Town is located is separated by Leyang and Dongxiang two counties.

The Li family of Qingyuan is one of the five great families of the dynasty. As a well-deserved first family of the royal family, the Liu family is the Song family of Tianchang County, the Li family of Qingyuan County, the Tang family of Jiangnan County, and the Chen family of Beibi County, and the five major families each guard one side, which plays a key role in the prosperity and stability of Daqing.

The ancestor of the Li family, as the earliest minister of the Liu family, retired from the temple early after the establishment of Daqing, and the Li family in addition to Qingyuan County, also controlled the Caoyun business of Leyang and Dongxiang counties. Li Yu's aunt also entered the palace as a concubine, and several uncles in the clan were also promoted all the way to the temple, and Long En was mighty.

A huge carriage came in a hurry, and dozens of light riders around the carriage looked like martial arts masters, all of them were silent, Shenhua was introverted, a pair of eyes looked around, and the eagle looked at the wolf.

Inside the carriage were Li Yu and Hu Chen, and the light riders around the vehicle were the people from the Li family's layout in Huaizhong Town

Hu Chen's injuries healed very quickly, and he was able to walk on the ground in less than half a decade. Li Yu had many doubts in his heart after reading Li Jinheng's handwritten letters, and these questions lay in Li Yu's heart, and Li Yu could only feel at ease after Li Jinheng solved his doubts.

Hu Qingyun wanted to accompany him, but was comforted by Li Yu, which made Hu Qingyun unhappy, Li Yu Wenyan settled down to make Hu Qingyun feel a little relieved, Li Yu didn't want Hu Qingyun to see Li Jinheng, Hu Qingyun and Li Yu have been married for more than ten years, and they have never seen their father-in-law, but Li Yu's relationship with his father is not good, and this trip has to solve his doubts, so he can only pick a day to let Hu Qingyun see Li Jinheng in the future.

The carriage has been traveling all the way for more than ten days, and it has just left Lanshan County, although the Li family is one of the five great families, they must follow the rules, and the road guide and the customs clearance documents are indispensable, and they have stayed in the carriage for more than ten days in a row, not only Hu Chen is irritable, Li Yu is also slightly upset by Hu Chen's noise.

Hu Chen in the carriage shook Li Yu's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, how long will it take to get to grandpa's house? Chen'er can't sit still, it's so boring, can we get out of the car and have a fun?"

Li Yu pondered Li Jinheng's letter word by word, for Li Jinheng, as his daughter, Li Yu couldn't guess his slightest thoughts, this letter must be more than those literal meanings, Li Yu can be regarded as talented, but compared to Li Jinheng, Li Yu often feels deep powerlessness and fear. More than ten years have passed, Li Yu is about to face Li Jinheng again, and now Li Yu, who has long been a wife and has become a first-class martial artist, is still as nervous as when he was young.

Li Jinheng asked Li Yu to accompany Hu Chen by name, saying that he wanted to have a family fun between his grandparents and grandchildren, but Li Yu knew that this matter was not so simple, but he didn't dare not take Hu Chen with him. Li Jinheng wanted to do nothing that he couldn't do, and leaving Hu Chen in Huaizhong Town made her even more uneasy.

In the face of Hu Chen's coquettishness, Li Yu wanted to hold Hu Chen in his arms and coax him before, but at this moment, he was a little inexplicably irritable in his heart, and picked up Hu Chen and scolded loudly: "Are you annoyed! You have been noisy all the way, and you can't be idle, do you believe it or not, and if you quarrel again, you will be thrown off the car?"

Hu Chen was smiling and coquettish, but he didn't expect Li Yu to be so angry, tears instantly filled his eyes, and he cried slightly: "Mother, Chen'er knows it's wrong, you shouldn't make noise to make your mother angry, mother, don't leave Chen'er, I will obediently stop arguing in the future." ”

Seeing Hu Chen's pitiful appearance, Li Yu's heart couldn't help but soften, hugged Hu Chen, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chen'er, I'm sorry, it's my mother's bad parents, it's me who lost my temper, Chen'er is not wrong." My mother is also tired of riding, and there is a city in front of us, so let's get off the bus and rest for a day before leaving, okay?"

Hu Chen saw that his mother agreed to get out of the car to play, and broke into laughter, Li Yu wiped Hu Chen's tears, and scraped Hu Chen's little nose dotingly, with a lot of tenderness in his heart.

After more than two months of running, Li Yu finally stood at the gate of the Li Mansion, thinking that she left the Li Mansion angrily, and it had been more than ten years since she left.

The Li family's mansion is located in Qilin Street in Qingfeng City, the county town, as one of the five great families of the Daqing Dynasty, the size of the Li Mansion can be imagined. The gate of the Li family is only more than three feet smaller than the gate of Qingfeng City, Liu Mian, the prince of Juan, had come to the Li family on business in the early years on the order of the current emperor, although Li Jinheng greeted him outside the door, the door of the house was only half opened, for which Liu Mian also had privately mentioned this matter to the pilgrimage, but was taken by the emperor and died without a problem.

"You're Miss, it's really you, you're finally back. Li Yu raised his eyes and saw that the beard of the person who spoke out was already half white, his face was full of wrinkles, and his back was bent. Li Yu glanced at it, and recognized that the old man in front of him was Grandpa Li Tie, who rode around the yard by himself when he was young and didn't make a breath, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, how could the old man who was majestic back then become like this now?

Li Yu hurriedly held Li Tie's trembling hands, choked up, and said: "Grandpa Tie, it's me, Yu'er is back, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, how did you become like this? Are you guarding the gate here? Is it because of me? Where is Li Jinheng? Take me to see him quickly, does he treat the old man in the house like this?"

Li Tie gently patted Li Yu's hand and sighed: "I don't blame you, grandpa is fine, you also know that Grandpa Tie is not very good-tempered, and he is already content to see the gate of Grandpa in Li Mansion." Now that you're back, don't be angry with the master of the house, it's not good for you, you know?"

Li Yu was able to escape from the Li family in anger back then, thanks to the help of Li Yu's personal maid Li Feiwen and Li Tie, who was the head of foreign affairs of the Li Mansion at the time, to escape smoothly, otherwise it would not be so easy. Li Tie and Li Feiwen are not members of the Li clan, and they were given the surname Li because they have served the Li family for generations.

Li Tie was deprived of his position as the chief steward and reduced to guarding the gate for some reason. Li Feiwen followed Li Yu away to Huaizhong Town, and it didn't take long for him to return to the Li Mansion, and now he has been reduced to an inferior maid, doing some vulgar work to sweep the hall.

Li Yu knew in her heart that Li Tie's current situation must be related to her running away from home back then, and after asking Li Tie about the Li family's situation in recent years, she patted Li Tie's rough hand with red eyes, even if she made Li Jinheng angry, she also wanted to seek justice for Grandpa Tie.

Li Yu dragged Hu Chen into the Li Mansion, and was faced with a vast garden. In the middle of winter, there are still all kinds of flowers competing in the garden, a bluestone road that is enough to parallel two carriages leads to the main house, the fragrance of tangerine peel osmanthus flowers on both sides of the road is long and long, a crystal clear stream surrounds the roadside, converges into a small lake in the distance, a pavilion in the center of the lake, the autumn wind gusts, and the crisp bell sound on the eaves of the pavilion comes with the wind.

Li Yu recalled the scene of enjoying the cool in the pavilion when he was a child, which was a rare warm picture of father and daughter getting along in Li Yu's memory. The young Li Yu lay on Li Jinheng's lap, one by one picking up fish food to feed the swimming fish in the lake, Li Jinheng smiled warmly and stroked Li Yu's head, a pair of deep eyes looked into the distance, I don't know what I was thinking.

Hu Chen followed Li Yu obediently, he obviously felt that his mother's mood was not good, and the little hand holding Li Yu was full of sweat, and he followed Li Yu quietly all the way. Although he was in a good mood to see so many beautiful flowers along the way, and the huge goldfish in the lake spit bubbles mischievously as if they were showing off to him.

Li Yu stands on the shore of the lake, full of emotion, the pavilions and pavilions are still there, the garden is full of fragrance every year, a small lake for more than ten years, and the swimming fish have remembered the old face.

Dressed in a soap shirt, his long hair was slightly restrained with a strand of cyan ribbon, and under the sword eyebrows that flew into his sideburns were a pair of deep eyes, Li Jinheng, the head of the Li family, had stood beside Li Yu at some point, stretched out his hand and popped out a grain of fish food, attracting fish in the lake to compete for food.

Li Jinheng's gentle voice sounded: "I know that you have a lot of questions to ask me, and I can answer them for you one by one." But after that, you will not be allowed to leave the Li family for a day before you enter the Qi Control Realm, can you agree?"

Li Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I promise you." ”

Li Jincheng said in a calm tone: "The matter of Huai Zhong is not something you should care about, and you will know it later." Let this kid named Hu Chen go over there for a while, I have something to say to you. ”

Li Yu clenched Hu Chen's hand and said lightly: "I won't let him leave my side, he is a child, what can he not listen to? ”

Li Jinheng tilted his head and glanced at Hu Chen, who was shrinking behind Li Yu, and said with a smile: "Since you insist, Li Feiwen, you haven't come out yet?"

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, Li Feiwen left a letter and left shortly after Li Yu gave birth to Hu Chen, Li Yu thought that Li Feiwen couldn't stand the usual coarse tea and light rice and left, but now it seems that this is far from the case.

Li Feiwen glanced at Hu Chen, who was standing behind Li Yu timidly, and then at Li Jinheng, who was expressionless, sighed in his heart, straightened his back slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe it on the coarse cloth clothes, and told a big secret that was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky to Li Yu.

At the beginning, Li Yu was already pregnant with Liujia when he fled, but fortunately with the help of Li Tie, he successfully left Huaizhong, and Li Feiwen, as Li Yu's personal maidservant, accompanied him all the way to take care of food and daily life. Li Yu gave birth in the middle of summer, and there was a thunderstorm that night, Li Feiwen had already looked for a good candidate in advance, bought the midwife, and secretly changed the child when Hu Qingyun took care of Li Yu, Li Yu was less than a full moon after giving birth, Li Feiwen said goodbye to Li Yu on the grounds that he needed to go home for funeral and brought Li Yu's own child back to Li's house, and Hu Chen was just a child who had no blood relationship with Li Yu.

Before Li Feiwen's words fell, he was already kicked far away by Li Yu, Li Feiwen turned over and knelt on the ground, blood was constantly spilling from his mouth. Although she was extremely angry in her heart that Li Feiwen had done such a thing to her, this kick still had strength, but it only seriously injured her.

Li Feiwen sat on his knees sadly, looked up at Li Yu who was looking at him angrily, smiled bitterly, suddenly broke his heart, and muttered, "Miss, I'm sorry for you!"

Li Yu couldn't stop it, Li Feiwen's death, Li Tie's situation, and Li Jinheng's behavior, she didn't want to believe that this was something that a father could do to his own daughter.

Li Yu turned around and stared at Li Jinheng fiercely, clenched his fists, his qi was vigorous, and the surface of the lake not far away was rippling, and there was no wind. Since the battle between Li Yu and Hu Cang, he has broken through the first order, and he has already entered the middle level of pneumatics.

Li Jinheng turned around slowly and glanced at Li Yu coldly, which suddenly made Li Yu fall into the ice cellar.

Li Jinheng said lightly: "Do you want to do something to me? As long as you don't enter the Manifestation for a day, you are not qualified enough! As for the answer you want to hear, wait until one day when you sincerely come to ask me again for the sake of the Li family, whether you ask Quan or others, I will continue with you." ”

Li Jinheng said it well, if she doesn't enter the Qi Control Realm, in the face of Li Jinheng's high-level devotion, she is afraid that she will not even be able to enter within ten zhang of him, let alone fight with him.

"Ah!" A sad and indignant cry, Li Yu stomped his foot, and a large area of lake water on the shore of the lake erupted and exploded, but unfortunately the flowers and plants by the lake were scattered, and the fish in the lake scattered and fled. A large area of lake water fell into the sky, and there was a heavy rain, and Li Yuhu Chen, who was drenched, was soaked, Li Jinheng did not move, and there was not even a drop of water dropping about a foot on his body.

Hu Chen gently shook Li Yu's sleeve and signaled his mother not to be angry. Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Hu Chen blankly, his heart hurt to the extreme, and he squatted down and hugged Hu Chen.

Li Jinheng glanced at Hu Chen indifferently and disappeared in a flash.

Hu Chen is not stupid, the words of the dead maid just now are still echoing in his ears, he can't believe all this at all, surprise, despair, and panic breed in his little heart, Li Jinheng's indifferent eyes when he left his heart trembled.

Hu Chenqiang held back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, and gently patted Li Yu's back and comforted: "Mother doesn't cry, Chen'er is fine, don't you often teach Chen'er to be filial, don't you be angry with your grandfather, Chen'er must be very well-behaved, I listen to you for everything, don't leave Chen'er alone!"

Li Yu's tears silently crossed his face, and he tried his whole body to hug Hu Chen tighter, as if he wanted to rub Hu Chen into his body, then he would really become his own child. The child she was willing to protect with her life turned out to be unrelated to her, she had been kept in the dark all these years, and at this moment Li Yu's heart collapsed like a landslide and tsunami.

Hu Chen cried out in pain, Li Yu gently pushed Hu Chen away with trembling hands, and looked at Hu Chen's face over and over again, she still didn't want to believe all this, and wanted to find the slightest shadow of Hu Chen and her and Hu Qingyun. Hu Chen hung his head silently under Li Yu's strange gaze, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally slid down his face and fell to the ground.
