Upon hearing this, Qi Wan burst into tears, hugging Wu Yin. Wu Yue's body was covered in wounds, a testament to the terrible treatment he had endured in the Wu family.
Despite crying, Qi Wan quickly informed her two aunts.
Li Furong and Li Mudan arrived upon hearing the news, and were furious upon seeing the two men's expressions.
"This is outrageous! Report this to the authorities!"
"We must report this to the authorities! The hateful Wu family dares to humiliate our Li family like this."
"Sister, I have already sent someone to inquire, and the servants have returned with the news."
Wu Gui, that bastard, perished in the fire. Those two old scoundrels survived, but one had his face burned and the other had his legs burned, so there was little hope for them.
Several other members of the Wu family died, but I didn't inquire further.
"Ah Yue said that Cao'er's last words were that she didn't want them to have the surname Wu anymore, but wanted them to have the surname Li from our family. She wanted us to arrange another identity for the siblings and send them to Lingnan."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Li Mudan understood immediately that the Wu family matter should not be investigated further, lest the two children be dragged into it again.
She readily agreed. Changing one's identity is difficult for ordinary people, but it's easy for those with connections, and the Jiang family could certainly do it.
"Let's just pretend that Wu Yue and Wu Yin are dead."
Fortunately, Wu Yue knew how to conceal his identity and disguised himself as a little beggar on the way to the Qi family with his sister.
Qi Wan reacted quickly and helped the two children clean up the mess, so even if the authorities wanted to find someone, they wouldn't be able to find the Qi family.
It is said that before Li Cao'er died, she left a blood letter on the ground of the Pan family's house.
Ultimately, the authorities determined that Li Cao'er was unwilling to accept her death and set fire to people.
The letter written in blood said that the Wu family was heartless and cruel, and that Wu Gui was more vicious than a wolf or a dog, beating and killing his children and then his new wife.
The Wu family's indifference has led to the current situation.
In despair before her death, Li Cao'er set fire to the Wu family's house, intending to kill this wicked family and bury them with her and her two children.
The authorities quickly closed the matter, although the bodies of the two children were not found.
However, people tend to believe in wills. A dying man's words are often the most virtuous.
Perhaps the Wu family had already killed all the children behind everyone's back.
The Wu family has had no good days since the fire.
