171 Yaoyao, How Can You Be So Bold?!
“Master has already gone to bed,” Yan Bei said after calming down his complicated emotions.
“Yaoyao!” Immediately after, Shen Liu’an’s voice sounded from not far away.
Shen Yaowei lowered her head even more when she heard the familiar voice.
Shen Liu’an, Shen Yuyan, and Shen Yifeng rushed to Shen Yaowei as quickly as possible.
“Yaoyao, why are you here?”
“What just happened?”
“How did you hurt your foot?”
Hearing the questions of the three men, Shen Yaowei grabbed the ribbon on her dress and whispered, “I was worried about you and my Ninth Imperial Uncle, so I came.”
“You came here alone from the capital?” Shen Liu’an’s voice suddenly raised a few degrees. He widened his eyes and looked at Shen Yaowei. “Yaoyao, how can you be so bold!”
Shen Yaowei simply didn’t dare to face her furious father and didn’t speak.
“Father, now is not the time to blame Yaoyao. Her foot is injured.” Shen Yuyan looked at Shen Yaowei’s bleeding ankle with heartache.
Shen Yifeng nodded in agreement. “We have to treat Yaoyao’s wound first.”
“Please come with me. I have top-quality ointment in my room,” Yan Bei said.
…
In the room.
Shen Yaowei sat on a tall stool barefooted. Shen Yifeng squatted in front of her, holding the ointment in one hand and applying it to her injured ankle.
Shen Yuyan frowned and looked at her swollen ankle. He clenched his fists nervously. “Brother, be gentle. Don’t hurt Yaoyao…”
Shen Yifeng tried his best to control his strength and applied the medicine for Shen Yaowei with the gentlest method. His forehead was sweating nervously.
They all knew that Shen Yaowei was most afraid of pain. She would cry every time it hurt badly.
“If you’re afraid of pain, you shouldn’t have run over yourself.” Shen Liu’an sat at the side. Although his tone was reproachful, his eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei turned to look at Shen Liu’an. “Father, I know I’ve made you worry this time, but I’ll have to be independent sooner or later, right?”
Shen Liu’an was speechless when he heard Shen Yaowei’s words.
Because he had always treated Shen Yaowei as a normal person, he often taught her to be independent when she grew up and couldn’t always rely on others.
Previously, Shen Yaowei was more willful and rarely took his teachings to heart.
Now, he realized that his daughter seemed to have become much more sensible than before.
“Alright, the wound is bandaged. Let your brother carry you and leave with me,” Shen Liu’an said.
“No, I’m going to look for my Ninth Imperial Uncle,” Shen Yaowei said decisively. At the mention of Huo Junhan, her big eyes lit up. “I haven’t seen my Ninth Imperial Uncle for a few days. I won’t leave here until I see him.”
“Miss Shen, it’s already late. Why don’t you come and see Master tomorrow?” Yan Bei suggested.
Shen Yaowei looked at Yan Bei with deep eyes, feeling that something was wrong with him. “But I want to see my Ninth Imperial Uncle now.”
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Huo Junhan not to hear the huge commotion she had caused.
But why hadn’t she seen him yet?
For some reason, Yan Bei felt like he had been seen through by Shen Yaowei’s clear gaze.
Just as he was thinking of a reason to persuade Shen Yaowei to come tomorrow, Shen Liu’an’s voice slowly sounded.
“Yan Bei, in that case, I’ll have to trouble you to inform His Highness.”
He knew his daughter’s stubborn temper all too well.
If she didn’t see Huo Junhan tonight, she definitely wouldn’t stop.
