Li Lei still could not believe it. "She can't be Xia Ling. After Xia Ling died, everyone witnessed how heartbroken Pei Ziheng was. He even almost fell out with his family to bury Xia Ling in his ancestral grave. Furthermore, he visited her grave every year and searched for people who resembled her. If Xia Ling were still alive and were acting as Ye Xingling, Pei Ziheng would have come for her a long time ago."
"Perhaps, even Pei Ziheng doesn't know the truth?" Tan Ying speculated.
"Why?" Just as Li Lei asked this question, he suddenly thought about the information that Old Man Bao told him. About two or three years ago, Xia Ling was imprisoned and tortured by Pei Ziheng. Maybe that was why she escaped as she could no longer tolerate it. If that was the case…
How much hardship exactly did his Xiao Ling endure?
His heart hurt immensely, and he wished he could hold her in his arms to comfort her immediately.
