Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 224: What a Coincidence

When she was a child, she looked at her father with hopeful eyes.

At that time, her father would carefully lift her up, his gaze drifting into the distance, his expression so complex that she, being so young, could not understand it.

But thinking back now, her father’s eyes were filled with longing.

Now that she has a beast husband, she can understand her father’s expression back then.

"When you grow up, your mother will come back."

"Then I want to grow up quickly."

Listening to her words, her father would smile and say, "I just hope for our Mu Yao to be happy. There’s no need to grow up so fast; enjoying the carefree time of childhood is good enough."

Recalling many childhood memories now, Su Muyao only feels a warmth welling up inside her.

When she was a child, her father was very kind to her, spoiling and protecting her.

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

"Our Mu Yao is really smart and learns everything quickly, but Mu Yao must remember, in front of outsiders, don’t appear too smart. Learn to hide it."

She said, "Father, does that mean if I read two books today, I should say I only read one?"

"Haha, even if you read two books and remembered the content of both, you should say you can only recognize a few words, and that will suffice."

"Oh, oh, but father, why do I have to hide this, why can’t others know?"

As a child, she still couldn’t understand these things.

Su Zhihong patiently explained to her, "Because the adult world is very complicated and full of dangers. If you are too smart and people notice you when you’re young, they might target you, so you need to protect yourself..."

"Father, I understand, I will protect myself and not let others know how smart I am."

Su Zhihong looked at her with comfort, his eyes full of affection, "Good, once Father finishes his current tasks, I’ll take you to many places to play. Studying can’t be just book-learning; you have to see the outside world to understand more knowledge and truths."

...

Thinking of these memories suddenly made Su Muyao’s eyes well up with tears.

"Father."

She recalled some childhood memories, memories she had forgotten.

She realized she truly belonged to this world, she was originally herself.

When Shen Ci’an entered the room, he saw Su Muyao’s eyes were red, quickly putting down what he was holding, and anxiously asked, "Wife, what’s the matter?"

"Are you feeling unwell, or did someone upset you? I will make it right for you."

Shen Ci’an’s long, narrow eyes were full of worry.

Su Muyao quickly suppressed her emotions and replied as if nothing was wrong: "It’s nothing. It’s just that I’m suddenly leaving here, and I feel a bit reluctant."

She realized that her parents’ situation was more complicated than she thought, and she didn’t want to bring it up and add to everyone’s burden.

But she was determined to find out the truth.

"If you don’t want to go back, we won’t. Wherever you want to be, I’ll be there with you."

Su Muyao smiled and said, "It’s time to go back. Everything I’ve done is to return to the Beast Emperor City."

Having grown stronger now, and with her past accusations pardoned, there were still many things to be done after returning to the Beast Emperor City.

"Don’t you miss your family or have anyone you’re concerned about?"

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

Su Muyao asked, "What about your mother?"

Shen Ci’an replied indifferently, "Heh, my mother values daughters over sons. When she looks at me, she sees only profit, not affection."

"Besides, my mother has many offspring and has probably forgotten about me long ago."

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

...

After Su Muyao and the others packed their things and bid farewell to the tribe, they left with Yun Qinglan’s group.

Along the way, they were escorted by elite cavalry, providing an extra layer of security.

Originally, Yun Qinglan wanted to use flying horse beasts, but their limited number couldn’t support such a large group. They still needed cavalry escort, so they opted for regular horse beasts.

They encountered a few assassination attempts along the way, but the Yun Family handled them all.

The journey went relatively smoothly, and after more than two months, they arrived at the Beast Emperor City.

When they reached the Beast Emperor City, it was already the twelfth month of the lunar year.

Located slightly south, the Beast Emperor City didn’t have the harsh, snowy winters of the Northern Territory.

According to the rules, cavalry couldn’t enter the Beast Emperor City, so Yun Qinglan left them outside, planning to enter the city with only a few personal guards.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Muyao was surprised to see a long line ahead.

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

"Perhaps it’s the twelfth month, and many beastmen are entering the city to prepare for the New Year."

"It shouldn’t be, it’s already Si hour (10 AM), there shouldn’t be this many people."

Hua Linye said, "I’ll go take a look."

At that moment, Yun Qinglan came over personally.

Upon seeing Yun Qinglan, Su Muyao asked, "Young Master Yun, what’s going on?"

Throughout the journey, Yun Qinglan had taken good care of her, and Su Muyao was grateful.

Moreover, she remembered a part of her childhood memories—her father had taken her to the Yun Family, where Mr. Yun had warmly entertained them, and her father and Mr. Yun had pleasant conversations.

She vaguely remembered Yun Qinglan playing with her as a child.

Though the exact memories remained elusive, facing Yun Qinglan filled her with a sense of familiarity.

However, whenever Yun Qinglan approached to speak, Hua Linye and the others were always on high alert, wary of Yun Qinglan coming over.

Su Muyao understood why this was.

Nevertheless, her conversations with Yun Qinglan were always about serious matters.

"Miss Su, I heard someone is getting married in the city today. The festivities are grand, and many beastmen want to come in and enjoy the spectacle."

"The line has been long since this morning."

Yun Qinglan was concerned that Su Muyao might be anxious, so he came over to explain.

Su Muyao nodded, "Thank you for letting me know, Young Master Yun. There’s no rush; let’s wait for a bit."

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

This was how the journey progressed, and when she really started playing chess, Su Muyao realized how skilled Wen Nanxi was.

Her competitive spirit was stirred.

Just then, she keenly heard discussions coming from up front.

"I wonder if we’ll be able to make it on time."

"Yes, I’ve heard they’re giving out free candy at the wedding procession."

"I wonder which family is so generous."

"It’s Young Master Jiang marrying into the Liu Family. Everyone knows the Jiang Family is prestigious, and Young Master Jiang is no stranger—he’s the number one young man in the Beast Emperor City. Marrying Miss Liu is like a match made in heaven, so naturally, it’s a big deal."

"I’ve heard Young Master Jiang has brought lots of dowry. Hopefully, we can catch some of the excitement."

Su Muyao was taken aback. Could it be that today was the wedding day of Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan?

That would indeed be a coincidence.
