Chapter 81 Emperor's Banquet 3

"I know, we just finally got our village together again after the attack years ago but… we need to find her…" said the man looking down.

Lin Yu Yan was going to introduce herself to them because she wanted to know their names but the Imperial Queen, Zhang Lijuan, walked over to talk to her before she could do so.

"Lin Yu Yan! I'm so glad you made it! Who is this little boy?" the queen asked, looking at Silver.

"He's my little brother. His name is Silver," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Hello, Wang Empress, My name is Lin Silver," Silver said introducing himself.

"What a clever little boy! So adorable and handsome too!" she said excitedly touching his hair because she was curious if it was real. She then looked over at the family sitting across from her and said "Misses Jin, Don't you think he is adorable?"

'Jin?' question Lin Yu Yan. She looked at the man closer again and remembered why he looked so familiar. 'Their surname is Jin? and their village was attacked years ago...' and figured out who they are.

"He sure is a beautiful child. Very unique and beautiful hair; a very very smart child, Wang Empress," smiled the wife.

"By the way, this is Lin Yu Yan. She is the amazing person who cured my son's sickness," said the queen.

"Hello, we are the Jin family," said the wife. "This is my husband and this is my 6 year old child, Jin Baozhi. We also have a daughter the same age as you, she should be turning 18 years old in 3 months."

"Misses Jin! She's only 14 years old!" said the Queen, laughing.

"What!? You look very mature, Miss Lin. You look like an adult already!" she looked at Lin Yu Yan in shocked.

"Hehe, a lot of people say that about me, and just call me Yu Yan," answered Lin Yu Yan.

Mister Jin looked at Lin Yu Yan and it reminded him of his cheerful daughter and became even more depressed.

"Oops, I stayed here too long. I have to go greet the other guests. Excuse me," said the queen and leaves to go talk to the other guest.

"Mister Jin, if you don't me asking... what happened to your daughter?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

Mister Jin tells his story about how his daughter ran away. Misses Jin blamed herself because she was getting married to her father, Mister Jin and she regrets it ever since because now she's missing.

"Sigh... I thought we got along well..." said Misses Jin. "We would always enjoy having fun together talking about the different weapons and the different skills used for each one..."

"My wife, don't worry. It was my fault. I also thought she would be fine since you two got along so well but... I was wrong and now..." said Mister Jin.

"Honey, we'll find her. I got a feeling it will be soon," she smiled to reassure her husband.

"And the attack... It was so random. Our village was burned to the ground in an instant. Thank god, we all escaped and settled in a nearby village for about a year. We never found those bandits who attacked our village. It was right after she ran away too. I keep on thinking she did come back to us, only to see we weren't around and maybe she thinks we are dead. Oh, I hope we can find her again..." said Mister Jin.

"Are you a blacksmith?" Lin Yu Yan casually asks.

They both look at her in shock. "I am. How did you know?" said Mister Jin.

"You hands... They look like a blacksmiths hands. Rough and dried skin with bunt scars and scratches. And I'm guessing, you were once a warrior, Misses Jin," answered Lin Yu Yan.

"You are very knowledgeable, little one," said Misses Jin.

"Where are you guys staying tonight?"

Mister Jin didn't know why but he trusted her the moment he set eyes on her and told her the inn they were staying at.

"I'll give you a gift because you guys have been so kind to me. It will be delivered to the inn an hour after the banquet, Mister and Misses Jin." Lin Yu Yan said giving them a smile. The veil is covering most of her face so they wouldn't have seen it but they can feel the warmth in the air.

Shing Lijuang, Teo Wing, Wang Tingshi and Lu Tian Tian can't wait until the time is right for them to show the ugliness of her cousin. They were super excited and kept looking over at Lin Yu Yan.

Shing Li Xue, Wang Haobin, Shing Li Ren and Teo Dewei were also excited to help destroy the ugly woman because they really wanted to see the disgusting face Wang Haobin was almost going to be married with. But most of all, they were waiting to see the beauty again and, at least to them, it seems she hasn't arrived yet.

'sigh... Where is she?' thought Wang Haobin. Lu Tian Tian notice the sigh but didn't want to think about it since her grandfather will take care of it.

"Wang Ping! You said she was going to come to the banquet!" Shing Li Ren said in disappointment.

"She's already here," said Wang Ping. All the princes and princesses started looking around to find the beauty. Lu Tian Tian ignored what Wang Ping said and try to start a conversation with her fiance but he already started looking for the beauty. So far, none of them have found her.

Wang Ping has been distracted all day because he was trying to figure out what the princesses and Lu Tian Tian was talking about. Lu Tian Tian told everyone but Wang Ping about the plans because she found out earlier today, that Lin Yu Yan was his savior, so of course he wouldn't want to hurt her.

Wang Ping needed to use the restroom and got up to do so. It was a perfect opportunity for the evil group of princes and princesses to talk about the plan. They doubled checked to make sure it will be flawless.

But they hated waiting, so Prince Shing Li Xue suggest an idea to make the plan go faster and much much more evil.

He listened to the so call ugly woman's (Lin Yu Yan) conversation with the Empress of Wang when he notice he could unclasp the necklace off of the queen's body and easily catch it before it made a sound and before anyone notice. (When the queen got up and moved tables to greet other guest.)

It was a brilliant plan and of course they go with the plan because the item was ready in Shing Li Xue's hand and it was also faster way to humiliate and possibly put Lin Yu Yan in prison.
