The Unknown Beauty 205 Family Reunion 3

"I can understand your thinking. But I also know she did it for our own good," said Chu Yang. "Look at everyone."

Hua Maoli did what he was told and looked around at the injured people. "What about them? They are all injured."

"Do you not see their smiling faces?" she said.

Huan Maoli looked again and he noticed that they may be in despair but they are smiling. Most of many citizens got scratches and burns being close to many fights but many of them are minor. They seem to be more relaxed and actually enjoying their time.

"Do you know why they are smiling?" Chu Yang asked Hua Maoli.

"No… I don't know why."

"It's a really hard question, right?" she said. "It's more like there are multiple reasons why they are smiling at a time like this."

Hua Maoli looked around more and thought about it harder. He didn't understand why the people would be happy about a situation like this.

"I think one of the reasons is that the kingdom feels at peace," Chu Yang suggested.

"Why is that?" he asked.

"You don't feel it anymore, right, Hua Maoli? The feeling of fear that something could happen at any second?"

He just noticed it now. He himself also feels calmer now. His senses are lowered and his body feels more relaxed the usual.

"I think even the people could feel the hostility the ministers and the nobles had against the Emperor," said Chu Yang.

"You're right… I've seen the faces of concern throughout the city… but didn't think much of it," he said and then finished his sentence in his head. 'Only because my mind has been on the Emperor's well being…'

"You see? Look at the Quan Family," Chu Yang added. "They were so hostile towards each other and now they look like a family for once."

Quan Su Wen and her brothers got along with each other now. Turns out Quan Xue's wife is the previous owner of the house everyone is in. She explained what happened to her and all the problems they had were none of their faults.

Their father's greed for money, fame, and for a woman he just meet was the cause of their distress and their hate. But it was also the reason he is finally dead and now they could finally let each other know their real feelings, making them closer.

Even though he can see that, the scars they created on each other will take time to heal.

"I also think the barrier was also the cause of the issue," Chu Yang said.

"Eh? What do you mean?" he asked.

"It may be useful but it makes you feel anxious like anything could happen at any time. That the kingdom is not safe enough that the shield had to be made for their protection but I think it also creates fear inside the heart."

"That's true…" said Hua Maoli. Hua Maoli thought about it more. 'The emperor seems to have relaxed more now too. Is it because the general (Chu Yang) and him finally were able to reconcile their feelings?'

Hua Maoli's heart calmed down a little but he can't help think there was another way to deal with this.

"I know what your thinking. I also think we should of went through another way… But this way made out hearts calmer. It helped me and my brother released this tension from our hearts, in probably the best way.

If we talked it out… We probably would have trusted each other again but not as strong as the one we have now," Chu Yang said.

Hua Maoli looked into her eyes and confirmed his answer by saying, "I still think there is a better way but if what you said is true, then I can't help but also agree."

"I also have the same feeling as you," said Gu Xiang. He noticed his wife talking to another man but their faces didn't look like they were flirting until a few minutes ago. So he quickly walked over. He heard their conversation and couldn't help but also agree to what Hua Maoli had to say.

"Being the first general of the Wang Empire, I also can't help but risk the lives of my citizens for the heartfelt feelings we all have. But... I know the only person who can do that is Lin Yu Yan. We can talk more about it with the emperor. After all, he wants an explanation to this, my wife," Gu Xiang said.

"Uh…" Chu Yang couldn't help but blush. She didn't think he would start calling her his wife already and it was surprising that it was in front of Hua Maoli. It's because She was talking to another man and he is quite good looking that Gu Xiang started letting the people know she is his wife.

"You're married?" asked the surprised Hua Maoli. He wasn't there with the Chu Emperor when Chu Yang announced it so he was quite surprised.

"Well, we are getting married," she said happily with a smile.

For some reason, his heart was feeling something. He is around 18 years old, around the same age as Quan Su Wen but no woman has gotten his attention as much as Lin Yu Yan and Chu Yang.

His heart wasn't in pieces but he felt a slight pain in his heart. It was the first time happening to him but it wasn't a big deal to him but he did have to think about it.

Then there were a few people talking loudly at the front gate, interrupting their conversation.

"You're back!" said a woman. This woman is one of the people saved from the slave trade.

Lin Yu Yan was walking through the crowd when someone behind her surprised everyone.

Quan Su Wen walked outside to ask her some questions and Lin Sheng followed just to see someone familiar to him but with a different aura around her.

"Who's that? She looks so much like Yu Yan…?" asked Soo Tien-Kai*, walking behind her, curious why the noises stopped. (He's one of the medical sect. Member. Close to Quan Su Wen.)

"Isn't that… your mother?" said Soo Li Na*.

"No…," said Lin Sheng. They all looked at him in surprise and confusion.

"How is she NOT your mother?" said Tang Hongwu*. "She looks so much like your sister?"

"That's true but no… My sister looks EXACTLY like my mother. Maybe too much. That woman may look like she could be my mother but she definitely is not… but from the looks of it, she might be related to me somehow," said Lin Sheng.

"She's holding that demon boy…" said Soo Li Na. "...like it's her child…"

The woman was carrying Kenzhi in her arms, giving her son the love she always wanted to give and the love Kenzhi always wanted. But at the same time, it was too familiar to him. This feeling he had before but he didn't notice it until now.

He remembered the time he asked Lin Yu Yan for a hug before leaving the Wang Empire. It only made him happy that he had someone like Lin Yu Yan by his side.

As Lin Yu Yan was walking, she almost ran into someone but Han Bingwen stopped it from happening.

"Ah… thanks," she said. But she walked as clumsy as before, running into people and Han Bingwen was just pulling her sleeve to lead her back to base.

Han Bingwen noticed right away there was something wrong with her movements. She seemed distracted by something. But the news of her having an aunt was not the cause of it. It was something else.

'Her skin was even paler than before… what's happening… something doesn't seem right…' Han Bingwen thought.

For some reason, Lin Yu Yan just couldn't fathom the news she received from her aunt. 'But now it answers so many of my questions… and the reason this body had to be alive…'

Lin Yu Yan clenched her fists as she walked back with the other. She wanted to discuss the situation with her brother because whatever reason why their aunt was here was because of their mother, Lin Feng Yue, was known to be missing years before Lin Yu Yan was even born.

They've made it back to the Ma residence. It seemed that her brother also didn't know they had an aunt either based on the reaction he gave when he saw their aunt.

Lin Sheng was looking at his sister's reaction to the whole thing but she seemed calm about it. It worried him because it was too abnormal for someone to be calm about something big like this.
