When Li Zhang said Zhao Anren's name, not only did Mrs. Zhao beside her, she couldn't believe it, but Zhao Andong and Zhao Anli were also shocked to look at each other. Among them, Zhao Anli was fine. When Zhao Anren disappeared, he was still young, so he didn't have a deep impression of this third brother, but he just remembered that his mother loved the third brother very much.

In contrast, Zhao Andong was almost adult at that time, so he knew more than anyone about his third brother's position in his mother's heart. Among the four brothers, his mother loved the third brother Zhao Anren the most, and Zhao Anren was also successful and was the smartest of the four brothers. When his mother taught them to read, he could write it once and listen to it, and he would not forget it. So at that time, his mother always said that his third brother was a young scholar in the family and might be able to pass the exam like his grandfather in the future.

But no one expected that the sudden military chaos completely disrupted the fate of their family. Not only did the family disappear, but Zhao Anren also disappeared in the war. Zhao Andong still remembered that after his third brother disappeared, his mother cried in secret. Almost every year on his third brother's birthday, his mother would silently cook a bowl of longevity noodles and lock himself in the room for a day.

"An Ren... An Ren is still alive?" Old Mrs. Zhao finally woke up from the shock and asked Li Zhang in a trembling voice. Her turbid eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was both worried and cautious.

In fact, when Zhao Anren was separated from his family, Mrs. Zhao had hope and devoted all her family to find Zhao Anren's whereabouts after the war. Even because Zhao Anren was separated from her family near Hejian Mansion, she insisted on not returning to her hometown over the years, hoping to find her son's whereabouts one day. However, the more than 20 years have passed, she no longer has any hope.

"Brother An Ren is indeed still alive. He was captured by the Liao army and suffered a lot before he survived. I happened to meet him when I went to Liao this time, so he asked me to find his family." Li Zhang explained with a smile.

"That's great, mom! Third brother is still alive!" Zhao Andong suddenly screamed at this time, and even hugged his old mother excitedly. Old Mrs. Zhao also cried with joy. She never dreamed that she would learn about the whereabouts of her son who had been missing for many years under this situation.

"I don't know what the name of the young man is, and how did you know the third brother?" Zhao Andong quickly reacted after being excited and asked Li Zhang. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his head, "Look at my brain, please come in quickly, let's go into the house and talk in detail!"

Letting the guests stay outside is not a way to entertain guests, but before Zhao Andong invited Li Zhang in, the old lady Zhao next to her changed her face and stopped them and said, "No, this guy just beat the Chu family's people and must leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhao said the words, Zhao Andong remembered what happened just now, which changed his face. So he immediately advised Li Zhang: "Mother is right. Brother, you are here at the wrong time. Before the Chu family comes, you can leave quickly. Don't implicate you because of our family affairs!"

Although Li Zhang didn't know about the Zhao family and the Chu family, he could probably guess some of them, but he smiled calmly and said, "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, just a Hejian Mansion, there is really no one here that I can't offend. Don't worry, even if the Chu family doesn't come, I will take the initiative to seek justice from them!"

Faced with Li Zhang's tone, Zhao Andong and his son couldn't help looking at each other. Although they still doubted Li Zhang's words, they could also see that Li Zhang seemed to have some support. Although Li Zhang was not old, he had the aura of a superior standing there, which made people dare not underestimate him.

"Aunt Zhao, let's go into the house to talk. Brother An Ren also asked me to bring you a letter!" Li Zhang also saw that the Zhao family and his son didn't believe him very much, but he didn't explain too much. In fact, he didn't plan to let the other party know his identity, and he was even more unwilling to use the power of the official position. However, when he met Chu Lin and others just now, the matter was beyond his previous plan, which also made him even more annoyed with the Chu family.

Seeing Li Zhang's confident and calm look, Zhao Andong looked at his mother hesitantly again. When Mrs. Zhao heard that Li Zhang brought Zhao Anren's letter, she was trembling all over again. Then she made a decision and said, "Since that's the case, let Brother Li come in and have a talk!"

Li Zhang smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then went into the main hall with Mrs. Zhao in the middle. The yard of the Zhao family is not big, with three main halls. The main room on the east side is Mrs. Zhao. Zhao's family lives in the wing rooms on both sides of the main hall. However, Zhao Anli's wife died two years ago, leaving only one son. As for Zhao Andong's family, they live in the yard behind the cloth shop and often come back.

The main hall of the Zhao family was not big, and it was used to entertain guests in the middle. After Li Zhang came in, the old lady Zhao immediately asked him to sit down, and then the Sanniang beside her was also very obedient to pour tea for Li Zhang.

"Please have tea for young master!" Sanniang looked at Li Zhang shyly and whispered. Li Zhang not only looked handsome, but the ability and domineeringness he showed when he drove Chu Lin away just now was really disappointing. She didn't even dare to look at Li Zhang in the eyes now.

"Thank you!" Li Zhang also said very politely, but this made Sanniang even more shy and hid behind Old Mrs. Zhao quickly.

"Brother Li, An Ren... Is An Ren okay? How did you meet each other?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked again with some trepidation. Although she knew that her son was still alive, she was worried about Zhao Anren's situation in Liao Kingdom. She didn't know if he was alive and whether he had married and had children?

Li Zhang didn't want to reveal his identity, nor did he want to tell the old lady Zhao that Zhao Anren was an eunuch, so he hesitated for a moment before taking out a letter from his arms and sending it to the other party and saying, "Aunt Zhao, this is a letter written by Brother Anren to you. You can take a look first!"

When Mrs. Zhao looked at the letter delivered to her, she also excitedly stretched out her trembling hands and picked up the letter. After finally tearing the letter apart, she pulled out the thick letter paper inside and opened it. When she saw the four words "My Mother" at the beginning, her eyes were filled with tears.

However, Mrs. Zhao quickly wiped away her tears, and then carefully looked at Zhao Anren's letter. As a result, she kept reading the tears from beginning to end. The last two were written by Zhao Anren to her elder brother Zhao Andong. Because he didn't know whether his mother, Mrs. Zhao, was still alive, so he wrote another letter to Zhao Andong later.
