Cao Yingna / 曹瀅娜's Links
Guo Yi was initially close to his mother, especially since his father was not often home. Following Guo Jia's death, however, he noticed that Yingna changed, though she still tried her best to raise him. He blamed this on Guo Jia. His own personality hardened, barely expressing what's on his mind, so he did not risk worrying her any more than he may have been. Due to this, however, he ended up distancing himself from the only person that mattered in his life. Though he is still respectful towards her – both as his mother, and as the daughter of his initial lord – it was evident their relationship wasn't the same as it used to be.
