Chapter 224 What a coincidence

As a child, she looked at her father with expectant eyes.

At that time, her father would carefully pick her up, his gaze fixed on the distance, his expression so complex that she couldn't understand it at the time.

But now that I think about it, my father's eyes were filled with longing at that time.

Now that she has a beastly husband, she understands the look on her father's face back then.

"Your mother will come back when you grow up."

"Then I want to grow up quickly."

Hearing her words, her father would smile and say, "I just hope that our Muyao is happy and doesn't have to grow up so fast. You can enjoy your childhood and be carefree, that's good enough."

Thinking back on many memories from her childhood, Su Muyao felt a warm feeling welling up inside her.

When she was little, her father was very good to her, spoiling and protecting her.

He personally taught her to read and write, and taught her many other things.

"Our Muyao is really smart, she learns everything quickly, but Muyao must remember not to show off her intelligence in front of outsiders, she must learn to hide it."

She said, "Dad, does that mean if I read two books today, I'll say I only know one?"

"Haha, you read two books and memorized the contents of both. You can just say you only know a few words, and that will be fine."

“Oh, oh, but Father, why do I have to hide these things? Why can’t people know?”

As a child, she didn't quite understand these things.

Su Zhihong patiently explained to her, "Because the adult world is very complicated and there are many dangers. You are too smart. When you are very young, if someone notices you, they might try to kill you. So you have to protect yourself..."

"Father, I understand. I will protect myself and won't let anyone know that I'm smart."

Su Zhihong looked at her with satisfaction and said with loving eyes, "Okay, after Daddy finishes his recent business, I will take you to many places to play. Studying should not be just about studying; you should see more of the outside world so that you can learn more knowledge and principles."

……

Upon recalling these memories, Su Muyao's eyes immediately reddened.

"Daddy."

She remembered some memories from her childhood, memories she had forgotten.

It turns out she really did belong to this world; she was who she always was.

When Shen Ci'an entered the room, he saw that Su Muyao's eyes were red. He quickly put down what he was holding and asked anxiously, "My lady, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell, or did someone upset you? I'll go and get revenge for you."

Shen Ci'an's narrow eyes were filled with worry.

Su Muyao quickly suppressed her emotions and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little reluctant to leave here all of a sudden."

She realized that her parents' situation was more complicated than she had thought, and she didn't want to tell them and only cause them more trouble.

But she will definitely figure it out.

"If my wife doesn't want to go back, then she won't. I'll stay with her wherever she wants to go."

Su Muyao smiled and said, "It's time to go back. Everything I've done is so that I can return to Beast Emperor City."

Now that I've become stronger and my past crimes have been forgiven, I still have a lot to do after returning to Beast King City.

Don't you miss home, don't you have anyone to care about?

Shen Ci'an smiled lazily and said, "The only person I care about is my wife. There is no one else."

Su Muyao asked, "Where is your mother?"

Shen Ci'an said nonchalantly, "Heh, my mother favors women over men. When she looks at me, all she sees is profit, not any affection."

"Besides, my mother has many children, she probably forgot about me long ago."

"So, my home is wherever you are, my wife."

……

After Su Muyao and her group finished packing and bid farewell to the tribespeople, they set off with Yun Qinglan's team. Elite cavalry escorted them along the way, providing an extra layer of protection for their safety.

Yun Qinglan originally wanted to use Pegasus beasts, but there were too few of them to support such a large group, and they also needed cavalry escort, so they simply used normal horse beasts instead.

They encountered several assassination attempts along the way, but all of them were dealt with by the Yun family's men.

As a result, their journey went relatively smoothly, and they arrived at the Beast King City more than two months later.

When they arrived at the Beast King City, it was already the twelfth lunar month.

The Beast King City is located slightly to the south, so it is not as cold and snowy as the northern border during the snow season.

According to the rules, cavalrymen are not allowed to enter the Beast King City, so Yun Qinglan left the cavalrymen outside the city and planned to bring only a few personal guards into the city.

Su Muyao was somewhat surprised as she sat in the carriage looking at the long queue in front of her.

"Why are there so many people entering the Beast King City today?"

"It's probably around the twelfth lunar month, and many orcs will be going into the Beast King's City to buy some New Year's goods."

"This shouldn't be happening. It's already 10 a.m., there shouldn't be so many people."

Hua Linye said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Just then, Yun Qinglan came over in person.

Su Muyao saw Yun Qinglan and asked, "Young Master Yun, what's wrong?"

Yun Qinglan took good care of her along the way, and Su Muyao was very grateful to him.

Moreover, she recalled some memories from her childhood. She vaguely remembered that her father had taken her to the Yun family home. At that time, Grandpa Yun had treated them to a warm welcome, and her father and Grandpa Yun had a pleasant conversation.

She vaguely remembered that Yun Qinglan used to play with her when she was a child.

But she couldn't recall the specific details.

Even so, she felt a greater sense of closeness to Yun Qinglan when they faced each other.

However, every time Yun Qinglan came over to say something, Hua Linye and the others were on high alert, and they strongly resisted Yun Qinglan coming over.

Su Muyao also knew why.

However, every time she talked to Yun Qinglan, it was about serious business.

"Miss Su, it is said that there is a wedding in the city today. It is a grand occasion, and many beastmen want to go into the city to watch the excitement."

“The line has been long since this morning.”

Yun Qinglan came over to explain because she was afraid Su Muyao would get anxious.

Su Muyao nodded. "Thank you for informing me, Young Master Yun. There's no rush, let's wait a bit."

Su Muyao prepared to take out a chessboard and play chess with Wen Nanxi and the others to pass the time.

That's how it went along. It wasn't until they actually played chess that Su Muyao realized just how good Wen Nanxi was at it.

All of this ignited her competitive spirit.

Just then, she keenly heard the sounds of discussion in front of her.

"I don't know if we'll be able to get a spot when it's our turn."

"That's right, I heard that people throw candy for free during wedding processions."

"I don't know why they're so generous."

"It's the Jiang family's young master marrying into the Liu family. Everyone has heard of the Jiang family; it's a top-tier family. Everyone is also familiar with the young master; he's the number one young master in our Beast Emperor City. His marriage to the Liu family's young lady is a match made in heaven, so it's bound to be a sensation."

"I heard that Young Master Jiang brought a very large dowry. I wonder if he'll be able to make it in time for the festivities."

Su Muyao was stunned for a moment. Could it be that today was the wedding day of Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan?

That's quite a coincidence.
