Li Ang's voice softened as he carefully watched the expressions on Chai Chai's face.
Chai Chai's hometown was in the northern Zhou Kingdom. Ten years ago, a rebellion broke out there, forcing many commoners to flee their homes and escape to Yu Country. It was during that time that Li Ang's mother bought Chai Chai to serve as Li Ang's maid. After the rebellion ended, some people from the Zhou Kingdom returned to their hometown, while others settled in Yu Country for good.
Since Li Ang had been admitted to the Academic Palace the year before last, he had secretly asked friends like Ji Linglang and Cheng Juxiu to help search for news of Chai Chai's parents. He had even sought out Jin Wusuan, the self-proclaimed number one businessman of Yu Country with connections that reached the heavens, but to no avail.
Now, with the court of the Zhou Kingdom requesting their assistance, allowing their own officials to conduct the search, there might be a glimmer of hope in finding them.
