Ding Yao noticed Mrs. Long's strange behavior. She remembered that General Long Zhanyuan had the same expression when he first saw her. But Long Zhanyuan was a general, so he had a good control over his facial expression. However, Mrs. Long hadn't. Why did they have such expressions? Ding Yao lowered her eyes in deep thought.
"Let's eat first." Long Zhanyuan glanced at his wife before he motioned Ding Yao to sit. Ding Yao was really hungry. It's late and she hadn't eaten dinner and only had a snack. Mrs. Long wasn't hungry so she just sat with them. Her eyes were filled with joy as she watched Long Zhanyuan and Ding Yao feast.
When they were almost done eating, Mrs. Long began to ask Ding Yao some questions. "I heard that your mother was born in the capital?"
Ding Yao nodded. "Yes."
Mrs. Long then asked, "Do you remember what she looked like?"
