When Wei Jiazhang was on his deathbed, he said he had long known everything that Madam Wei had done. But because he felt guilty, he had always indulged her.
He said he had wronged Madam Wei, and he had also wronged Yan Ji and the others. He implored Yan Ji, for his sake, to spare Madam Wei's life, making her swear that they would not target her again in the future.
He also said it was all his fault, his sin, so he was willing to atone with his death.
In truth, Yan Ji had some feelings for this father. Although Wei Jiazhang was unworthy of being their father, he was indeed their biological father.
And Wei Jiazhang never intended to kill them.
Yet now, she had personally killed him.
Furthermore, since Madam Wei was crying in agony and was willing to hand over the antidote, even showing signs of remorse, Yan Ji agreed that both she and Yan Zhufei would not take her life again. Unless she first harbored the intent to kill them.
