After a period of observation, Lin Yi found that this girl was not only literate but also quite knowledgeable.
It was clear she came from a distinguished family.
Through Lin Yi's deliberate investigation, it quickly became evident, as he had guessed.
This lady named Wen Wan'er was descended from a local aristocratic family.
It was not only her; the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl accompanying her was her younger sister, Wen Ning'er.
The reason why they ended up as refugees was not due to a famine.
After all, a mere famine is nothing for an aristocratic family.
The true cause of their sisterly plight into refugee status was because their family faced suppression.
Amidst this crackdown, their entire family fell apart.
Nearly all members of their family were harmed; only the two sisters managed to escape their nemesis's pursuit by blending in with the massive wave of famine-driven refugees.
