Yu Niaoniao interrupted her and asked.

“Then did you notice anything wrong with my parents’ grave?”

Aunt Wang was very confused. “No, aren’t tombs all like that? What can be wrong? Why do you ask?”

Yu Niaoniao shook her head. “Nothing. I was just asking. Thank you for the past few years. ”

Aunt Wang smiled again and said warmly, “We’re all fellow villagers. Why are you thanking me? It’s rare for you to come back. Do you want to go home with me? I’ll make you spicy rabbit heads.”

Yu Niaoniao politely rejected the other party’s kindness.

After they left, Yu Niaoniao introduced them to Xiao Juan.

“Aunt Wang used to be our tenant farmer. Later on, after what happened to my parents, I sold all the family’s farmland to the tenant farmers at a low price.”

“Auntie Wang and her man took advantage of that time to buy two acres of land. From the looks of it, their lives should be not bad.”

Along the way, they encountered a few more acquaintances. When they saw

Niaoniao return, they were both shocked and happy. They stopped to greet her.

Xiao Juan looked at her catching up with the villagers and realized that she was always smiling. Clearly, she was in a good mood.

After everyone left, Yu Niaoniao turned to look at Xiao Juan. Seeing that he was still staring at her, she could not help but touch her cheek.

“Is there something dirty on my face?”

Xiao Juan did not answer her question.

“I’m thinking that my parents-in-law must be very good people.”

Even though he had never seen Feng Lianghan and Madam Xie with his own eyes, being remembered by so many people after their deaths was enough to show how good they were.

Yu Niaoniao immediately smiled even more brightly.

“Of course! My father and mother are well-known for being good people. Not only did their family open a charity hall and school, but they also opened their warehouses and distributed food every winter to help the poor people in Sichuan.”

“The local county governor still wanted to erect a memorial for my father, but my father rejected him. He said that rather than spending money to build a useless archway, it was better to use this money to repair the roads everywhere.”

At the mention of her stepfather, her face was filled with pride.

Xiao Juan said sincerely, “Father-in-law cares about the world. I’m very impressed. ”

At this moment, Lo Pingsha interrupted.

“I’ve also heard of Mr. Feng’s name in the capital. The Imperial Court even sent someone to invite him to become an official, but he rejected them.”

“To be honest, it’s really a pity. With Mr. Feng’s character, if he can become an official, he will definitely be able to benefit the people.”

From his expression, he really felt sorry about this.

Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “My father said that he’s used to being a carefree crane and can’t stand the rules of the officialdom. Actually, my father is afraid of trouble and wants to be lazy.”

Xiao Juan raised his hand and patted her head.

“Don’t say that about Father-in-law.”

Yu Niaoniao stuck out her tongue.

“My mother couldn’t stand him for this. She urges him behind him every day. My father listens to my mother very much. As long as my mother asks, even if he doesn’t want to move, he will settle the matter as soon as possible…”

The more she spoke, the more despondent she became, and her voice became lower and lower.

Her past life was too beautiful. Thinking about it now was like an illusory dream, leaving her with endless disappointment.

Xiao Juan raised his right hand and gently placed it on her head.

“Niaoniao. ”

Yu Niaoniao came back to her senses. The sadness on her face quickly dissipated and she regained her smile.

She said energetically, “It’s all in the past. We still have to look forward. Let’s go quickly.”

The Feng family was originally the first family in Jinguan City, but the Feng family’s house was built on the outskirts of the city. They had to leave the city first and walk for a while before seeing the Feng residence.

The suburbs were much colder than the city. There were almost no families along the way. Other than the forest, there were only endless fields. Ling Hai looked around carefully, indicating that he could not understand. “Why did the Feng family build a house in such a place?”

With the Feng family’s financial resources, they could totally build a house in the city. There were many people in the city, so it was convenient to buy anything. Wasn’t it much better than living in the wilderness?!

Yu Niaoniao explained, “The Feng family has an old residence in the city, but my father and mother like peace and quiet, so they built a new house outside the city. Usually, our family lives in the new house in the suburbs.”

At this point, she could not help but sigh.

If their family had not lived in the suburbs back then but in an old house in the city, the moment their house caught fire, their neighbors would to help put out the fire and save the people. In that case, perhaps Feng Lianghan and Madam Xie would not have died.

But there were no ifs in this world.

Such assumptions were meaningless.

The group passed through the fields and forest and arrived near the Feng residence.

The courtyard wall was still there, but the courtyard door had already collapsed. Standing at the door and looking in, one could clearly see that the entire residence had been burned to ruins.

It had been three years since the fire started. Many weeds grew on the black ruins.

It was winter now, and the weeds were withered and yellow, making this house look even more desolate.

Lo Pingsha and Ling Hai walked into the courtyard and looked around.

Xiao Juan was about to enter when he saw Niaoniao standing beside the courtyard wall in a daze.

He walked over and asked.

“What are you looking at?”

Yu Niaoniao looked up at the top of the high wall and muttered.

“I climbed over the wall from here back then.”

“It was my stepfather who knelt on one knee and supported me with his body, letting me step on his shoulder to climb out.” “I escaped, but when I turned around to look for them, they…’ Towards the end, her eyes inevitably turned red.

Xiao Juan listened to her description and could imagine the scene.

At the moment of life and death, Feng Lianghan and Madam Xie gave Niaoniao the chance to escape.

In this world, there were selfish mothers like Princess Ni Yang, but there were also mothers like Madam Xie who could sacrifice everything for their children.

Xiao Juan was even a little glad that Niaoniao could meet a mother as good as Madam Xie.

Yu Niaoniao wiped her eyes and composed herself.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go in and take a look.”

“Yeah.”

Xiao Juan accompanied Niaoniao into the house.

The houses inside were already in ruins, and the garden that had once been exquisite and beautiful was already dilapidated.

They searched everywhere they could but did not find any useful clues.

This was expected by Yu Niaoniao.

After the fire back then, the officials searched carefully. All the clues they could find had been found. Even if there were any clues that they had missed, after three years of wind and rain, they no longer existed.

Lo Pingsha could not help but ask.

“County Princess, are you sure that the fire back then was really man-made?

What if it was really an accident?”

Yu Niaoniao said without hesitation, “It was definitely premeditated!” Xiao Juan looked at her steadily.. “Do you know something?”
