The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Although Yan En already had some guesses in his mind, this call still stirred up a thousand waves in his heart.

He had been searching for his daughter for many years. Although he refused to admit it, he had tacitly accepted in his heart that his daughter was no longer alive.

The huge joy made him dizzy, and the usually brave general actually shed tears.

"Are you really Yu'er?"

"Dad, I really am Yu'er!" Yu'er burst into tears. The heaven was kind to her after all, and she found her father when she was in despair.

She frantically searched her body for the jade pendant, trying to find it as proof, but was extremely anxious when she couldn't find it.

"Are you looking for this?" Yan En spread out her palm, and on it was the jade pendant that she always wore.

"Yes, this is it. Dad, do you remember? This is the token of love you gave to Mom."

Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not lost. Although girls change a lot when they grow up and her father doesn't recognize her, she would not make a mistake. She was already able to remember when her father left, and she remembered her father's appearance in her heart.

"Of course I remember. You've suffered so much over the years!"

The father and daughter cried with joy.

Yan Yuer, who was lost in memories, was also in tears.

Ling Yueqing handed her a handkerchief and patted her shoulder gently, "It's all in the past. Now that you've found your father, it can be said that you have finally gotten through all the hardships."

She couldn't help wondering, "So your father is alone now?"

Ling Yueqing asked tactfully. After all, it was not a pleasant thing to say that one had a crush on someone else.

"Yes, my father has been alone all these years."

"Then why didn't he contact you once in all these years?"

Ling Yueqing was a little surprised. She had thought this would be a story about Chen Shimei.

Yan Yuer's expression gradually turned into resentment, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "This is all the fault of that bad woman! It was because of her that my mother never got to see my father until she died!"

Ling Yueqing listened quietly to Yan Yuer's narration.

After Yan En recognized his daughter, he began to care about her past life and current situation.

When he learned that the mother and daughter had been living in the village, his expression became extremely ugly.

When he heard that his beloved wife had waited for him until her death, the hatred in Yan En's eyes seemed real.

Noticing the change in atmosphere, Yu'er tried to hold back, but still couldn't help asking the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"Dad, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come back to see us once?"

"You... have another wife and children?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I, your father, am not that kind of person."

After a long while, Yan En sighed deeply and slowly recounted his experiences over the years.

"This matter is a long story..."

Eight years ago, Yan En, no, he was still called Yang Qi at that time, bid farewell to his wife and daughter and came to Shengjing with full of ambitions.

He was very naive at that time. He had to distinguish right from wrong in everything and often quarreled with others.

Because he offended the powerful, he was accused of bringing cheat sheets and was not even allowed to enter the examination room.

Yang Qi, who had lost the opportunity, did not want to return home in disgrace, so he planned to see if there were any opportunities in Shengjing.

Coincidentally, an old general fainted on the road due to heatstroke, and Yang Qi sent him to the clinic.

"Thank you for sending me to the clinic, young man. Otherwise, I might have died today."

"You are too kind, old man. Even if I am not here, others will do the same if they see it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

The old general looked at Yang Qi's washed blue gown and asked, "Where are you working, little brother? Are you interested in a position in the army?"

Yang Qi said in surprise, "Really?"

"of course."

In fact, he had loved martial arts since he was a child, but he studied literature because it would allow him to take part in the imperial examinations and bring honor to his family.

Now, if he could get a job in the army, it could be said that this was his best option at the moment.

Later, Yang Qi followed the old general into the military camp. He thought that after he had established himself for a while, he would write back to report his safety.

But then they went to the battlefield, and every time they opened their eyes every day, they faced the enemy's artillery fire, and gradually the matter was delayed.

A year later, he gradually became a capable general under the old general. Since most of the others were rough people, it was not an exaggeration for him to say that he was both civil and military.

By chance, Yang Qi saved Princess Gao, the daughter of a king of a different surname. Since then, Princess Gao has begun to pursue Yang Qi vigorously.

Even though Yang Qi had repeatedly made it clear that he already had a wife and would never take a concubine in his lifetime, Princess Gao still pursued him relentlessly.

It is said that a good woman is afraid of being clingy with a man, but Yang Qi is as calm as water. He only thinks about making achievements and then returning home to see his wife and daughter in glory.

Soon another year passed, and Yang Qi gradually realized that something was wrong. During the year, he wrote many letters and sent them back to the village, but so far, he had not received a single reply.

So he asked for leave and rode back to the village as fast as he could.

What he didn't know was that not long after he left the military camp, another group of people also hurried to Qingcheng County.

Yang Qi returned to the village and didn't see anyone along the way, so he went home immediately.

But when he got home, he was stunned by what he saw.

The door was locked and there was a lot of stuff at the door, leaving no room for anyone to step in. The person sitting at the door picking vegetables was not his wife, but another aunt from the village.

"Xiao Yang is back. Come to my house and sit for a while. Have you eaten yet? I'll cook for you."

"Aunt, I'm not hungry. You don't have to worry. Where are my wife and Yu'er?" He couldn't wait to see them and tell them how much he missed them.

But things did not go as planned. A moment later, he received a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue. He was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, forgetting how to react.

"Your wife has not been in good health since you left. She passed away a few days ago..."

"Since then, Yu'er has also disappeared. Our whole village has been looking for her for several days but couldn't find her. I heard that she might have passed away..."

After a long while, Yang Qi finally found his voice and asked, "Where is my wife buried? Is there a tomb?"

"Of course there is. We buried her in the back hills. I will take you to see her now."

The journey was not far, and soon Yang Qi saw a new grave with the words "Tomb of Yang Liu" written on it.

Yang Qi sat in front of the grave all night long. The next day, he left Qingcheng County without saying goodbye to anyone.

What he didn't know was that just as he left the village, his "deceased" wife and "missing" daughter returned from the city.

On the way back to the military camp, he rolled down a cliff due to mental confusion and his life was in danger. At this time, a hunter passed by, rescued him and brought him back home.

The hunter never married and had no children in his life. Now he is alone. In order to express his gratitude to the hunter for saving his life, Yang Qi gave him his surname and named him Yan En, which means he will never forget the hunter Yan's life-saving grace.
