Bai Yu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with An Wang's view, then sighed and said, "Alas, this man is ruthless and cruel, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. My poor daughter was killed by him."
Hearing this, An Wang frowned slightly and asked, "Then which consort was the one who laid hands on your daughter?"
Bai Yu replied with a grave expression: "It is the current Noble Consort of Xishang Kingdom, Noble Consort Liu. Her natal clan is the Minister of Hubu, who is Ouyang Chengqi's moneybag."
However, initially she was not favored in her maiden home, and her relationship with her father was rather tense. But ever since my daughter passed away, she gradually gained Ouyang Chengqi's favor, and thus became the liaison between Ouyang Chengqi and the Minister of Hubu.
In this way, Ouyang Chengqi had an endless supply of money to squander, and the status of Hubu became increasingly stable. Not only that, there were also some shady but highly profitable matters, all secretly instructed by Ouyang Chengqi in private.
Therefore, to overthrow this Minister of Hubu is indeed no easy task; and to take revenge on Ouyang Chengqi is even more difficult."
After An Wang understood, he slowly nodded, indicating he understood the other's meaning. However, Yan Jie, standing beside them, felt resentment surge in his heart like a tide; he gritted his teeth tightly, almost grinding them to pieces.
Finally, Yan Jie could no longer suppress his anger; he suddenly stood up, glared with wide eyes, and shouted at An Wang and Bai Yu: "Father, Maternal Grandfather, I will definitely find a way to avenge this myself!"
His voice was full of determination and resolve, making people unable to help but look at him.
Hearing Yan Jie's address, Bai Yu's body trembled violently, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.
He was both overjoyed to have found Yan Jie, and worried that Yan Jie would fall into danger because of revenge.
Bai Yu hurriedly said: "Jie'er, Maternal Grandfather finally found you after great difficulty; Maternal Grandfather cannot lose you again! Your mother has already left us; the dead are gone; nothing is more important than you living safely. We won't take this revenge; as long as you are well."
An Wang also echoed: "Jie'er, if your birth mother were still alive, she would definitely not hope for you to be drawn into this grudge. Leave this matter of revenge to this Prince. This Xishang Kingdom will not exist for long either."
Yan Jie looked at An Wang and Bai Yu, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded, saying: "Alright."
However, although he agreed well on the surface, in reality, he was secretly thinking of other methods. He had not truly given up the thought of revenge; he just temporarily did not want An Wang and Bai Yu to worry.
Just then, An Wangfei interjected at just the right moment, smiling and saying: "Alright, alright, since everyone has already recognized each other, then from now on everyone is Jie'er's kin. Jie'er, stay here for a few more days, and let us fulfill our duty as hosts."
Wei Shengsheng also spoke up at just the right moment: "Good, good, just right for Princess Consort Sister to see the gifts we brought!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, making people feel happy upon hearing it.
Wei Shengsheng turned her head and instructed Xiao Wu standing beside her: "Xiao Wu, quickly have someone bring up the gifts we prepared!" Xiao Wu was Wei Shengsheng's personal maid; upon hearing the Young Mistress's order, she immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, Young Mistress!"
After a while, Xiao Wu led the way, followed closely by several servants; they carefully carried three large chests inside. The three large chests looked heavy, obviously containing many things inside.
Wei Shengsheng smiled and explained: "These three large chests are respectively gifts prepared by our three families!" Her face was filled with an excited smile, as if she looked forward to these gifts.
Then Wei Shengsheng walked to the first large chest and gently opened the lid. The first thing to catch the eye was a jar of wine; she took out the wine and said: "This is for An Wang; this is over ten years of Nü'er Hong! My father especially likes drinking, so our family's warehouse has always stored some good wine."
Next, Wei Shengsheng took out a delicate small box from the chest, with a red silk ribbon tied on it, looking especially festive.
Saying this, Wei Shengsheng carefully opened the box; inside was a jar of white skin-nourishing cream.
She smiled and explained: "This jar of skin-nourishing cream was personally refined by my husband! After applying it, the face will become smooth and tender, like a baby's skin!"
Next, Wei Shengsheng continued enthusiastically: "My husband, although his pill-refining skill is average, he has quite some research on strange and curious things! This skin-nourishing cream is one of his proud works!
I have used it myself; there are truly no side effects, and the effect is very good, so I specially brought it for Princess Consort Sister to use. However, the quantity is limited; I will have my husband make more later, and then give each of you a box!"
After speaking, Wei Shengsheng took out a travelogue from the bundle beside her, gently turned the pages, and showed it to everyone: "This is a book specially written by someone my father ordered!"
She proudly introduced: "This book records the places my father has traveled to over the years, as well as some interesting places discovered by his subordinates!"
I think this book will be very useful for Yan Si, after all he is so capable, doing business all over the country, surely he is very interested in the local customs and sentiments of these places!"
Finally, Wei Shengsheng, like performing magic, took out a small and exquisite mirror from the bundle. Although the mirror was only palm-sized, it was made of glazed glass, much clearer than ordinary bronze mirrors.
Wei Shengsheng fondled the mirror lovingly and said happily: "This is a treasure my father happened to obtain! I really like it! I heard that Yan Si's wife is especially beautiful; I think she will definitely like this small mirror. Having seen you today, indeed the reputation is not false; truly a great beauty!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu's face turned slightly red, seeming a bit shy. However, before she could speak, Wei Shengsheng impatiently continued to display the next item.
Wei Shengsheng gently took out a long sword made of black iron from the bundle; the sword body flashed with cold light, making people unable to help but look at it.
She smiled and explained: "This black iron is not common; my father only has a little bit; I went to great trouble and pestered him for a long time before he agreed to have this sword forged for me.
It was just finished two days ago; I originally planned to keep it for myself, but after hearing Jie'er say that Yan Wang is a general who protects the home and defends the country, I immediately decided to give this sword to him. In this way, I can also be considered to have contributed a humble effort for the country."
After speaking, Wei Shengsheng carefully put the long sword back into the bundle, then took out the next item.
This time, what she held in her hand was a blood jade hairpin; the jade hairpin showed a faint red color throughout, as if blood threads were flowing inside, looking very special.
