The moonlight flowed like water in the Tianshi Market Camp Howl. Liu Ying stood atop the newly constructed observatory, gazing at the stars scattered across the night sky. The injustice from twenty years ago had finally been rectified, and her true identity was revealed. Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Yuan's voice came from behind her.
"I'm thinking about my grandfather," Liu Ying turned around and said. "If he were watching from above, he would surely feel comforted."
"He would definitely be proud of you," Xu Yuan stepped closer and draped a cloak over her shoulders. "It's so cold; you should take better care of yourself."
"Speaking of which, I should thank you," Liu Ying said softly. "If it weren't for you, these truths might have remained hidden forever."
Xu Yuan smiled and replied, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to decipher the Astronomical Code." He looked at her earnestly. "Liu Ying, I..."
"Ahem." Su Jinzhi's voice suddenly interrupted. "Sorry to intrude."
"Jinzhi?" Liu Ying looked at him in surprise. "What brings you here so late?"
"I came to deliver something." Su Jinzhi took out a brocade box from his pocket. "This is a token left by your mother, entrusted to my father by elder Yu for safekeeping. It’s time for it to return to its rightful owner."
Liu Ying opened the brocade box to reveal a pair of jade hairpins. "This is..."
"Your mother's dowry," Su Jinzhi said gently. "I hope it can witness your happiness."
Xu Yuan understood his implication. "Jinzhi, I..."
"No need to say anything," Su Jinzhi waved his hand. "From the moment you two met, I knew this day would come." He turned to Liu Ying and added, "As long as you're happy, that is my greatest wish."
Just then, laughter and cheerful voices echoed from downstairs. It turned out Luo Yunzhi and Zhang Yunfeng had arrived.
"Sister!" Luo Yunzhi rushed up excitedly. "I have good news to tell you!"
"Let me guess," Liu Ying smiled. "Lord Zhang has agreed to your marriage?"
"Yes!" Luo Yunzhi's cheeks flushed red. "Father said that since the matter with the Xu family has been resolved, it’s time for me to get married."
"Congratulations," Su Jinzhi said. " young master Zhang is a good man."
"You flatter me, Lord Su," Zhang Yunfeng cupped his hands in greeting. "Speaking of which, if it weren't for your assistance, Luo Yunzhi and I wouldn't have..."
"Family members don’t speak as strangers," Xu Yuan interrupted him. "From now on, we are all family."
At this remark, everyone paused for a moment. Liu Ying's face turned slightly red as she lowered her head in silence.
"Oh! By the way!" Luo Yunzhi suddenly remembered something. "The Empress asked me to convey a message: three days from now, there will be a banquet in the palace to celebrate you and Master Xu..."
" Yun Zhi!" Liu Ying stomped her foot in embarrassment.
Everyone burst into laughter. Su Jinzhi watched this scene, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He turned to leave but was stopped by Liu Ying.
"Jinzhi, where are you going?"
"I have matters to attend to at the Imperial Medical Institute," Su Jinzhi replied with a gentle smile. "You all continue your conversation; don't mind me."
"Don't go," Liu Ying said earnestly. "You are my most important friend; how can we have this moment without you?"
Xu Yuan also stepped forward, "Yes, without you, we might still be in the dark."
Su Jinzhi looked at the two and finally smiled, "Alright, then I'll stay a little longer."
Under the moonlight, several young people chatted and laughed, their voices filled with joy. In this moment, all shadows faded away, leaving only pure happiness and blessings.
A Fu brought over some hot tea and watched the scene with tears in his eyes. "The girl has finally made it through."
"A Fu," Liu Ying called out to him, "thank you for all these years."
"It's my duty," A Fu wiped his tears. "Before the master passed away, he entrusted me to take good care of her. Now that she has found her family and a good home, I’m sure the master is very pleased from above."
Everyone raised their glasses in celebration of this wonderful night. In the night sky, Tian Shiyuan's stars twinkled, witnessing this moment of warmth.
After twenty years of storms, they finally welcomed clear skies. And this night would surely be etched in everyone's memory.
