Yu Weilan glanced at Jin Shangyue but didn't say anything more.
As the head of the Yu family and the eldest son of Yu Han and Song Mingying, how could Yu Weilan not know the intentions behind his parents' actions?
This is to express gratitude and repay the kindness of being saved, and to make up for Jin Shangyue's nineteen years of wandering and loss of everything she should have enjoyed.
Of course, there's also a hint of using this to curry favor and express a sincere attitude.
Besides, even if he didn't say it, his parents would definitely guess that he must have made some amends when he brought Jin Shangyue back.
Indeed, Yu Han and Song Mingying know their children very well.
From the abilities Jin Shangyue displayed, the two were very clear that their eldest son would definitely appreciate and value this daughter who had just been found.
They must have given some compensation privately as well.
These compensations are inevitably related to the private guard and the privately owned state capital.
Otherwise, Jin Shangyue wouldn't have asked for the private guard and the city as payment and reward right off the bat.
Everyone knew the truth.
Thus, the unprecedented grand reward was agreed upon through the tacit understanding of the three leaders of the Yu family.
Jin Shangyue also completed an incredible class leap within three days.
From nothing to possessing a private army of 30,000 and private property in 22 states, he became a powerful figure with real authority and more than 300 cities.
One of the states in the Dragon Martial Empire has eleven to nineteen cities.
If this were in the ancient world of the modern world, Jin Shangyue would be a female vassal king with a vast fiefdom and a private army.
A powerful regional prince.
What does this mean?
This signifies that they have the foundation to rebel and establish themselves as kings.
Currently, apart from the old master, the old lady, and Yu Weilan, the head of the family, Jin Shangyue holds the most real power in the entire Yu family!
Even Yu Weilan's younger siblings, because they didn't have the qualifications to have their own private guards, were all inferior to their niece Jin Shangyue, who did have her own private guards.
As a witness to this miraculous transformation of an ordinary citizen from nothing to a powerful minor lord, Lin Shanwu was truly shocked.
This has led to a certain degree of distortion in his worldview.
It feels like a strange new century has been opened.
"We'll take a few days to get things organized. A week later, we'll officially hand over the private guard and the state capital. During this time, Yueyue will focus on treating your grandfather. Don't worry about anything else; Grandma will take care of it."
Song Mingying took Jin Shangyue's hand and patted it affectionately to comfort her, then asked with concern.
"Does Yueyue have any preferences regarding where she will stay? Grandma would like someone to make arrangements."
When Jin Shang arrived at the Yu family's residence a month ago in a flying car, she had already looked down upon the entire Yu family mansion from above. It covered an area of vastness and was extremely huge.
So without being polite, he said directly, "The scenery is beautiful, it's quiet, no one lives around, it's far from the hustle and bustle, and it's spacious."
Song Mingying's eyes were bright and intelligent; she could tell from these words that Jin Shangyue did not intend to have much contact with her own siblings.
That's true. They've only just returned and they're already causing such a commotion. There's bound to be more trouble in the future. It's better to keep our distance.
Yu Han seemed to have thought of something and said, "Let's tidy up Xuguang Courtyard and give it to Yueyue to live in."
"That place is big, with beautiful scenery, and it's located far from the residential area. It's perfect for renovating. We can build two alchemy rooms and a herb garden for Yueyue."
Having been married for over a hundred years, Song Mingying naturally understood her husband's meaning. Since he had already given her real power and property, she didn't care about arranging a better place to live.
“Then let’s go to Xuguangyuan,” Song Mingying said lovingly to Jin Shangyue. “Xuguangyuan is indeed very beautiful, and it’s close to the southwest corner, which is in the opposite direction from the northeast area where the children live. So we won’t have to worry about noise.”
"It's just that this place has been constantly expanding outwards, and for the past ten years or so it has been used to receive VIPs for garden tours and to hold banquets. After you move in, you can renovate it according to your own preferences."
Afterwards, Yu Han summoned Li Feng, the head steward of the Yu family.
Tell him to take Jin Shangyue to Xuguang Academy.
When only Yu Han, Song Mingying, and Yu Weilan remained in the treatment room, Yu Han looked at her eldest son.
"What compensation did you give Yueyue when you brought her back?"
Yu Weilan: "Two states, one hundred shadow guards, ten thousand private guards, and two hundred billion in funds."
Yu Han and Song Mingying exchanged a glance, revealing an expression of "I knew it."
Yu Han nodded: "That's good. Although Yueyue has been wandering outside for nineteen years and grew up in a low-level territory, she is a person with great fortune and fortuitous encounters. Otherwise, she would not have been able to cultivate such powerful skills, have a Yuan-level alchemist as her master, and even be a medical cultivator."
“Although we didn’t spend any time with her in the first nineteen years and didn’t have any feelings for her, we are blood relatives. Now that she’s back, we, as family, will treat her with sincerity, equality and respect.”
"We don't ask for love and intimacy, but for us Yu family and Yueyue personally, the most perfect result is to live in harmony, benefit each other, and help each other move forward."
Song Mingying sighed softly: "Judging from Yueyue's attitude, the methods you suggested are indeed the most suitable, but the children in the family will probably cause a huge uproar, especially the eldest son's children."
Song Mingying wasn't worried about the children in the other rooms.
After all, according to the rules of the Yu family, the brothers and sisters of the patriarch cannot have a private guard, so there's nothing to argue about.
But the situation with Yu Weilan's sons is another story.
They had barely met when they were already at odds with Jin Shangyue. If they were to find out later that Jin Shangyue had acquired so many private guards and private state properties, they would be absolutely furious, like a volcanic eruption.
Yu Weilan said coldly, "The Yu family has always relied on its own abilities. If they are not satisfied, they can fight for it with their own abilities."
"Over the years, with the backing of the Yu family, they have become increasingly arrogant and complacent. Yueyue's arrival is a perfect opportunity to teach them a lesson for free."
“If they’re still too stupid to understand, I don’t mind exiling them to what they call lowly, remote territories.”
Yu Han and Song Mingying didn't try to persuade them, but silently lit a candle of sympathy for the eldest grandsons in their hearts.
After Lin Shanwu chased Jin Shangyue out, he stayed by her side and followed her into the flying car.
"Miss Shangyue, would you mind showing me your experiment? I'm very curious about what kind of treatment you would use to remove the deadly toxin from Old Master Yu's body."
Lin Shanwu wore a fawning smile. The contrast between his usually aloof and handsome face and this expression was surprisingly attractive.
His eyes, in particular, shimmered with a cunning and shrewd light, making him appear even more radiant.
Unfortunately, faced with this dazzling temptation of beauty, the man sitting opposite her, Jin Shangyue, remained unmoved, his heart as hard as iron.
"I am a businessman, and I value the exchange of interests. If Doctor Lin wants to learn from me, shouldn't he pay some tuition?"
