"Mother, aunts, I didn't expect all of you to be here." Jianchen's footsteps were hurried as he walked over with a smile on his face. He greeted his aunts from afar.
"Xiang'er, you've come back at the right time. Come sit over here. Mother has something to tell you." Bi Yuntian pulled Jianchen's hand and sat down. Then, without waiting for Jianchen to speak, she said, "Xiang'er, what Mother wants to tell you today is related to your Third Aunt. In the past, your Third Aunt was indeed a little too harsh on you. But after all, we are sisters living in the same place. Mother hopes that you can forgive your Third Aunt and let bygones be bygones."
Hearing this, Jianchen was clearly stunned. He looked suspiciously at Third Aunt Bai Yushuang. Jianchen had never had a good impression of this Third Aunt of his. This was because he clearly remembered that since he was young, his Third Aunt Bai Yushuang had been making things difficult for him in every possible way.
Seeing Jianchen look at her, Bai Yushuang knew that she couldn't continue to remain silent. She forced a smile and said, "Xiang'er, your Third Aunt has indeed wronged you in many ways in the past. It's all your Third Aunt's fault for being too narrow-minded and not fulfilling her responsibilities as an elder. Over the past few days, your Third Aunt has seriously reflected on her actions and has clearly recognized her mistakes. I feel very sorry for you, Xiang'er. I hope that Xiang'er can forgive your Third Aunt and give her a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Hearing this, Jianchen laughed heartily and said, "I've long forgotten about the past. I didn't expect Third Aunt to still take it to heart." Although Jianchen didn't have a good impression of Bai Yushuang, she was still his Aunt and his father's Third Madam. They were considered a family and saw each other every day. If his relationship with Bai Yushuang was too strained, it would have a certain impact on the family.
Jianchen loved this family very much and cherished it very much. He didn't want any unpleasant things to happen in this family. Therefore, in order to avoid these things, he could only choose to forgive Third Aunt.
Moreover, he also understood that with his prestige in Changyang Prefecture, if he insisted on ostracizing Third Aunt Bai Yushuang, the elders in Changyang Prefecture would definitely protect him and treat Bai Yushuang with a different attitude. Bai Yushuang would have no place in Changyang Prefecture and this would only cause trouble for his father, Changyang Ba.
"Hahaha, Xiang 'er is becoming more and more sensible. Third Sister, did you hear that? Xiang' er has long forgotten about the past and doesn't take it to heart. Now you can rest assured. In the future, we four sisters should get along well and not have conflicts over small things. After all, we all live in the same place," Eldest Aunt Linglong said.
"Of course, of course. In the future, Third Sister will definitely listen to Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Fourth Sister." Bai Yushuang hurriedly nodded. She was in a good mood. Since Jianchen was willing to forgive her, her uneasy heart finally calmed down.
Second Aunt Yu Fengyan looked at Jianchen dotingly and said, "Xiang 'er, it's rare for you to come back during this period of time. This time, you must stay for a few more days." As she spoke, Yu Fengyan's gaze inadvertently fell on Bi Hai who was standing behind Jianchen. She immediately asked in confusion, "Xiang 'er, may I know who this old gentleman is?"
Jianchen had been momentarily distracted by Bai Yushuang's matter. Only when Yu Fengyan mentioned Bi Hai did he suddenly remember that he had even more important matters to attend to. He immediately straightened his face and said sternly, "Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Fourth Aunt, I have something important to discuss with mother alone. Please leave us alone."
"It's fine, it's fine. The two of you haven't seen each other in a long time, right? You must have a lot to talk about. We won't disturb you any longer. Take your time, "said Eldest Aunt Linglong before leaving with Yu Fengyan and Bai Yushuang. When they passed by Bi Hai, the three of them inadvertently paused on Bi Hai for a while. They were extremely curious about the old man's identity.
With the departure of the three aunts, only Jianchen, his mother, and Bi Hai were left in the pavilion.
Bi Yuntian stared at Jianchen in confusion. Just when she wanted to ask Jianchen what was so important, her gaze suddenly fell on Bi Hai who was standing behind Jianchen. She immediately became shocked. She could not help but recall how Jianchen had mentioned to her a few days ago about the ancestor of the Bi family who had disappeared for many years. She quickly connected the two matters together.
"Xiang 'er, may I know who this senior is?" Bi Yuntian asked in bewilderment. Her heart had already begun to beat vigorously.
"Mother, your son has lived up to your expectations. I've successfully found the ancestor of our Bi family. This is the ancestor who disappeared over thirty years ago!" Jianchen said excitedly.
"What!" Bi Yuntian paled in fright. Jianchen's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing her to be stunned on the spot. She was unable to return to her senses for a long time. She never thought that her son would actually be able to find the ancestor of the Bi family who had disappeared without a trace for over thirty years.
After a long while, Bi Yuntian finally returned to her senses. She stared at Bi Hai with an extremely excited expression and said with a trembling voice, "You … you … you really are the ancestor of our Bi family, Bi Hai?"
Bi Hai carefully studied Bi Yuntian. Today, he was extremely excited to see a descendant of the Bi family again.
"That's right, I am the ancestor of the Bi family, Bi Hai." Bi Hai's voice trembled slightly. At this moment, he was like a father who had found his long-lost child. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
After his identity was confirmed, Bi Yuntian immediately kneeled on the ground and sobbed: "The descendant of the Bi family, Bi Yuntian, respectfully welcomes the return of the ancestor."
"Get up, quickly get up. Right now, there are only a few of us left in the Bi family, no need to be so courteous." Bi Hai quickly helped Bi Yuntian up. Once again, he found a descendant of the Bi family. This made him extremely excited.
Bi Yuntian slowly stood up with Bi Hai's help. Bi Hai immediately said: "Tell me about the calamity that befell the Bi family thirty years ago. Tell me everything you know. I'll see if I can find any clues." Bi Hai was very anxious. He very much wanted to find the culprit as soon as possible.
"Ancestor, I was still young when our Bi Clan met with this tragedy, so I didn't know much. I also didn't know the identities of those people. However, at the last moment, my father told me that they were here for our Bi Clan's heirloom."
Hearing this, Bi Hai's eyes flashed. In the next moment, a transparent barrier silently appeared in the surroundings, enveloping the entire pavilion. Moreover, the barrier constantly became blurry, completely blocking the scene inside. If one was outside, they would not be able to see anything inside the barrier.
"Where is the beast hide? Was it taken by those people?" Bi Hai asked with a serious expression.
"It's here!" Jianchen immediately took out a brocade box from his interspatial ring and handed it to Bi Hai: "Ancestor, there are a total of three beast hides inside. One of them is the family heirloom of our Bi family. The other two I accidentally collected outside."
Bi Hai did not care about Jianchen's words. He directly opened the brocade box and took out all the beast hides from inside. When he saw the three identical beast hides, his eyes flashed with a trace of surprise: "These three are actually the same."
