After hearing this story, Cheng Zeli and his two brothers felt mixed emotions and sighed.

Who could have imagined that Mrs. Zhang, who worked in the fields with her face to the earth and her back to the sky, was once a precious young lady that was unattainable to everyone.

Things in the world are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable. General Zhang had already found the neighboring Liujia Village. If he had walked a little further, perhaps he would have found Zhang.

When Old Man Cheng found Zhang under the cliff, she remembered nothing but her own name.

The Cheng family guessed her identity from the way she was dressed and her demeanor. How could a girl of noble status appear under the cliff for no reason? There must be something fishy going on.

In order to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves, they hid her in their home and did not let outsiders know of her existence.

But they would sometimes go to the town to inquire about the news, to see if anything big had happened recently, or if any young lady had gone missing.

Unfortunately, three or four months passed and the town was peaceful, nothing happened, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Who would have thought that her family would only come to see her half a year later.

As a result, both parties missed each other in confusion.

After Zhang Qing explained the whole story, Cheng Zeli and the others looked at each other and no longer concealed Zhang's identity. They told him that Zhang had lost his memory and has not yet recovered his past memories.

"No wonder! No wonder! No wonder the young lady hasn't come back to see the general for all these years!"

Upon learning that Zhang had fallen off a cliff and lost her memory, Zhang Qing finally felt relieved from the resentment he had been feeling for so many years.

At the same time, he felt very sorry for his young lady. When he thought about how the young lady, who once lived a life of luxury and happiness, had been living in hunger and poverty for more than 20 years, his heart ached like needles, not to mention that he was worried about finding his sister.

"Where is the young lady? Take me to see her!"

"My mother doesn't remember you now. If we rashly take you to see her, I'm afraid it will upset her. Why don't you go back first, Uncle Zhang? I'll go home tomorrow and slowly tell my mother about this matter so that she can be mentally prepared. Then I'll bring her to see you."

Cheng Zeli said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, yes, the eldest lady has lost her memory. I went to see her rashly, fearing that it would upset her. I was too impatient. I should have gone back first to tell the general this great news.

No, I can't wait, I'm going back now!"

As Zhang Qing said this, he stood up and walked out, forgetting even the matter of building the village house.

"Uncle Zhang, it's getting dark. Why don't you stay here for one night and go back tomorrow? Yinzhou County is not very close to here. If you go back now, I'm afraid the city gates will be closed. Don't worry, my mother is there and she can't run away!"

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Cheng Laoer was afraid that if he went back now he would not be able to enter the city gate and would have to sleep outdoors, so he tried to persuade him to stay.

"Don't worry, I have a way to get into the city gate. Your mother won't run away, but I don't want to wait any longer. I can't sleep if I stay here. It's better for me to go back and tell the general the good news.

I'm leaving now. You don't need to see me off. Go back tomorrow morning and tell your mother the news. The general will surely be impatient to hear the news and will rush here tomorrow."

After saying this, he called the coachman and ordered him to hurry back to Yinzhou County.

Because all the houses in Pingyang County were destroyed by the flood, Zhang Shizhong and his family bought a small three-story house in Yinzhou County and settled down temporarily, waiting for the house in Pingyang County to be built before moving here.

After Zhang Qing left, the three brothers were left sitting in the living room, looking at each other with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.

"Oh! This... is this all true? The great general who defends the country that I have admired since I was a child is actually my uncle!"

Cheng Laowu twisted his thigh hard, and the intense pain made him feel that everything before his eyes was extremely real.

"No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with the general the last time I saw him. The power of blood is truly magical!"

Cheng Zeli recalled the last time he met Zhang Shizhong at the gate of Qianzhou City. The general even glanced at him at that time.

"What, Third Brother, have you seen the general? Where did you see him? Does he look like mother? Is he very majestic?"

When Cheng Laowu heard that Cheng Zeli had already met the general, he instantly lost his composure.

"I met him in Qianzhou last time when I went to sell ginseng. That was when the news that the governor of Yinzhou was killed by the general was widely circulated.

As for the general's appearance, time is tight and I only met him once, so how can I remember so much? When he comes tomorrow, you will be able to see it with your own eyes."

"Yes, I will be able to see the general tomorrow, hehe..., the general is my uncle, hehe...the general is my uncle!"

Cheng Laowu was so excited that he was crazy. He walked back and forth in the living room, sometimes grinning foolishly, sometimes muttering to himself.

"This silly boy, look at his worthless appearance, there is no hope for him!"

Cheng Lao Er smiled and shook his head.

"Then tomorrow, who will go back and tell our parents the news? Also, should we bring our mother to Pingyang County, or let the general go to Cangwu Town to see her?"

"Let my fifth brother and I go back tomorrow. You have been in charge of things here. If you go back and something unexpected happens, I don't know how to deal with it.

As for mother, I should ask her opinion before deciding where to meet. Anyway, I definitely cannot take them to the valley."

"Okay, let's do this. You guys should rest early tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."

On Zhang Qing's side, he kept urging the driver to go faster and faster. The driver cracked the whip, wishing he could give the horse two wings. He drove fast and hard, and finally arrived at the moment when the city gate was about to close.

It happened that Li Zhong was on duty today. As the steward of the Great General's family, he would be able to recognize him even if his eyes were blinded.

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and let Zhang Qing's carriage in.

Zhang Qing was very satisfied with his foresight and as he was in a good mood today, he rewarded him with five taels of silver.

"Oh, thank you, Butler Zhang. Take care, Butler Zhang!"

Li Zhong did not refuse, nor did he ask him why he came back so late. Instead, he respectfully watched him leave.

"Okay, brothers, everyone who sees it gets a share. Let's go have a meal together after the shift change tomorrow morning."

When the other soldiers heard this, they were all very happy.

The carriage galloped on the empty street and soon stopped outside a three-story house.

Zhang Qing got off the carriage and rushed into the palace, shouting all the way: "General, General, good news, good news!"

The servants all stopped and stared in astonishment. How could the butler, who was usually calm, considerate and most particular about etiquette, be like a completely different person today, without any manners at all?

Zhang Shizhong had just turned off the light in the room and lay down when he was startled by Zhang Qing's voice. He sat up, hurriedly asked someone to light the light again, put on his clothes quickly and left the room.

What happened that made the butler, who was over fifty years old, rush around and shout like a young boy?

"General! General! Good news, great news!"

Zhang Qing ran breathlessly, saying "good news, good news" over and over again.

"What kind of good news could make you lose your composure like this?"

"It's the young lady, General, I found the young lady!"

Boom~

Like a bolt of thunder, Zhang Shizhong felt that there must be something wrong with his ears. He only saw Zhang Qing's mouth opening and closing, but he could not hear what he was saying at all.

"General! General! General, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Someone come quickly, someone come quickly, the general has fainted!"
