Ying Xi's expression immediately brightened, "Then, then you know..."
Tan Ping nodded, "After your parents died, you and your siblings, along with other children of the Ying family, were auctioned off. Relatives and friends who originally had close ties with the Ying family were afraid of being implicated and dared not come forward. Later, it was your first wife's maternal brothers who claimed the bodies from Yizhuang and buried them."
Ying Xi's expression paused, his first wife's maternal brothers?
Her stepfather was named Ying Qi. With his first wife, Madam Li, he had two sons and a daughter, then passed away from illness in the tenth year.
Three years later, he married her mother as a secondary wife.
Unfortunately, the good days didn't last long before disaster befell the Ying family, and not a single member managed to escape.
