Walking out of Xunwei Teahouse, Wu Chen immediately found a quiet place to browse through the materials in the letter. After reading the letter and understanding the current situation of the Li family from the information recorded in it, Wu Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Ten years ago, the Li family fell from a first-rate family to an ordinary family due to the Jingguo coup. The Li family had lost a lot in the process, but the core had remained intact. For example, Wu Chen's grandfather, Li Congming, and his three uncles, Li Xian, Li Mu, and Li Bing, had all survived the upheaval. This undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into Wu Chen's heart.
As if he had found his home, Wu Chen left the Wenwei Tea House and found a carriage on both sides of the road that was neither luxurious nor simple.
"Young Master, where are you going?”Seeing Wu Chen get into the carriage, the coachman didn't say anything more. He only asked about the destination before taking off the saddle that was originally on the horse.
"To Dongyang District." Throwing a piece of silver to the coachman, Wu Chen walked into the carriage. The floor of the carriage was covered in the skin of some unknown beast, making it extremely comfortable for a person to sit on.
"Alright!" Hearing the destination, the coachman did not delay. He raised the whip in his hand and waved it. The entire carriage slowly drove from the roadside to the street.
Dongyang District was located north of Cangzhou Prefecture, and Wu Chen was currently located south of Cangzhou Prefecture. Therefore, if he wanted to reach Dongyang District, he would have to cross half of Cangzhou Prefecture.
Through the car window, he could feel the people coming and going on both sides of the street, as well as the endless stream of carriages on the street. The entire Cangzhou Prefecture was filled with a strong vitality. No one would have thought that a bloody political massacre had taken place in this place ten years ago.
The speed of the carriage was neither fast nor slow. For a prefecture like Cangzhou Prefecture, although there were spacious streets, because the flow of people was too dense, even carriages could not move. Therefore, this speed was acceptable. The carriage had already passed through half of the city. At this time, the sun was slowly rising into the sky.
With the arrival of noon, both the flow of people and traffic on the streets became scarce. It was also at this time that the speed of the carriage reached a peak.
Listening to the vigorous galloping of horses and the rumbling of wheels rolling across the street, Wu Chen's feeling of home grew stronger. However, just as he was about to reach Dongyang District, a cold thought appeared in Wu Chen's mind.
What would the Li family think of his arrival? One had to know that the reason why the Li family was in ruins back then was mainly because of him and his mother. What if the Li family was unwilling to see him at that time? The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Wu Chen's excited heart suddenly turned cold. How could he be in the mood to look at the scenery outside the carriage? Just like that, Wu Chen slowly approached Dongyang District.
"Young Master, we've arrived at Dongyang District. I can send you there as well.”Perhaps it was because of the piece of silver, but the coachman was particularly enthusiastic towards Wu Chen. As he slowed down the carriage, the coachman could not help but ask for the exact address.
"We're here? Do you know where the Li family is?”Wu Chen couldn't help but reveal a blank expression at the coachman's words, but he quickly adjusted himself.
"The Li family? He didn't know which Li family Young Master was going to. There were at least seven or eight Li families in Dongyang District.”The coachman had been shuttling back and forth in Cangzhou Prefecture for many years and knew a lot about the situation in various places. However, after hearing Wu Chen's answer, he did not know how to answer.
"Since that's the case, let's stop here!”Wu Chen frowned when he heard the coachman's reply. After some thought, he walked out of the carriage.
"Alright!" The coachman was very skilled. With just a few simple movements, he managed to stop the carriage steadily by the roadside...
Sensing that the carriage had stabilized, Wu Chen nimbly fell off. After letting out a long sigh, he began to size up his surroundings.
"I'll take it one step at a time. It's not my character to be so timid.”Clenching his fists tightly, Wu Chen regained his composure. No matter how the Li family treated him, Wu Chen would have to face this sooner or later. He had to face the problems that he had to face. If possible, Wu Chen would do his best to make up for the consequences caused by his mother and son.
Although the Eastern Sun District was located north of the Azure Prefecture, it was actually very close to the center of the Azure Prefecture. Otherwise, there would not be so many clans gathered here.
"Dongyang dialect, Huai River Road, No. 7 should be right, but where is the Huai River?”Not only did the letter record the current situation of the Li family, but it also indicated where the Li family lived. This saved Wu Chen a lot of time. However, as an outsider, where was the Huai River Road? However, it became the first problem that Wu Chen had to solve.
After asking a shop on the street, Wu Chen and the others found out the exact location of the Huai River Road. However, there was quite a distance from here to the Huai River. Although the Huai River was in Dongyang District, it was in the westernmost part of the district. Wu Chen didn't think much of this problem. After all, it was already not easy for the Li family to defend this foundation in their current situation. It was impossible for them to occupy the best road in Dongyang District.
After walking for an hour, Wu Chen finally arrived at the entrance of the Li family's small courtyard and looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him. If it weren't for the two words 'Li Residence' hanging above the door, Wu Chen would never have imagined that the Li family would be in such a state. From the mottled state of the plaque, it was obvious that it had experienced the baptism of time. But for some reason? He saw the mottled iron gate. As well as the moss-covered stone lion, Wu Chen felt a sense of closeness.
"This is where the Li family lives?”Through the half-closed iron door, he could see the neat furnishings in the manor, as well as the pots of green potted plants. The entire manor seemed even more secluded and far-reaching. Looking at these simple furnishings, Wu Chen could not help but mutter to himself.
"Who are you? What was he doing here? Did he have any ulterior motives?”Just as Wu Chen was staring blankly at the manor in front of him, a crisp female voice came from behind him. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl leaned against the iron gate and nervously looked at Wu Chen, who was standing at the entrance of the alley.
"This is your house?" Looking at the exceptionally delicate and pretty young girl in front of him, Wu Chen actually forgot how to speak for a moment. Whether it was her figure or her indifferent temperament, Wu Chen felt as if his mother was standing in front of him. Moreover, this feeling was even stronger than what Wu Chen felt from Li Bingyan.
The girl rolled her eyes when she heard this. She felt that Wu Chen was a very stupid person, but it seemed that she had experienced something before. The girl was always suspicious of Wu Chen's appearance."This isn't my house, so is it yours? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you think our Li family isn't living well enough?"”
"Um, it's not like that…Do you know Li Congming?”When Wu Chen saw the young girl, he did not know what to say. After a moment of awkwardness, he finally said his grandfather's name.
"You know my grandfather?" Hearing the name in Wu Chen's words, the little girl's nervous expression could not help but falter. Then, she began to size up the man in front of her with an extremely cautious gaze.
"Erm, I hope I can trouble you to inform them that Chen Yuan is here.”That's right, he had finally found a place. Otherwise, the young girl wouldn't have called Li Congming her grandfather. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wu Chen spoke.
"Are you Sixth Brother?" After Wu Chen finished speaking, the little girl's eyes lit up. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared blankly at the man in front of her. Finally, she used a suspicious tone to say a name that made Wu Chen's entire body boil.
Brother Six was such a familiar title. It was a title that had once belonged to the younger sister of the Li family, Biqing. Back then, there were a total of eight children in the Li family's current generation. Three girls and five boys, and Wu Chen happened to be the sixth. Wu Chen clearly remembered that when he came to the Li family when he was young, there would always be a little girl called Li Biqing following behind him like a burden. Wasn't she calling him Sixth Brother?
"Are you Biqing?" Upon hearing such a familiar address, Wu Chen's body couldn't help but tremble despite his martial prowess. Even his tone trembled.
"You're really Sixth Brother. Sixth Brother, you're really back.”Hearing Wu Chen say her name, the little girl was stunned at first. She ran to Wu Chen and hugged him, calling him Sixth Brother.
"Biqing, Sixth Brother is back. Is everything okay at home?" Seeing Biqing hugging him, Wu Chen couldn't help but rub Biqing's head and whisper into her ear.
"Good, it's all good. If we know that Sixth Brother is coming home, the family will be better. Sixth Brother, let's go home.”Feeling her sixth brother caressing her head, Biqing immediately grabbed Wu Chen's hand. Wu Chen could clearly feel the power coming from the little badge. It was as if she was trying to protect the thing she loved.
"Alright, let's go home." Under Biqing's tugging, a feeling of home immediately welled up in his heart, and all his previous worries vanished into nothingness at this moment…
