Shen Yuyan looked down at the scroll in his hand and fell into a deep dilemma.
At this moment, Shen Yifeng raised his hand and patted his shoulder. “Third Brother, look, Yaoyao is worried sick about you. As brothers, we can’t let Sister work so hard for us. Besides, I think Yaoyao’s worries make sense.”
“Indeed. Previously, when Yan’er said that he wanted to go to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, I always objected. If you can settle for the next best thing, I can be at ease if you can be a civil official in the Imperial Preceptor’s residence.” Shen Liu’an picked up the teacup and took a sip. He lowered his head to hide the darkness in his eyes.
Apart from Yaoyao, he had always been most concerned about Shen Yuyan.
After all, he not only had kinship with this child, but also responsibility.
“I understand. Yaoyao, I accept your kindness. Even if I can only be a civil servant in the future, I will definitely do my best.” As Shen Yuyan spoke, he tightened his grip on the scroll.
“Okay, I believe Third Brother can definitely do it!” Shen Yaowei smiled brightly.
Shen Yuqing took a piece of pastry and handed it to Shen Yaowei. He looked at her and asked, “Since you’re done talking about Third Brother, it’s time to talk about you. It’s equally dangerous for you to go to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence. I’m not at ease.”
Seeing that the other men in the family were also serious, Shen Yaowei blinked. “But the Imperial Preceptor said that I’m very talented and asked me to go to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence. Father, even if you don’t believe me, you should believe the Imperial Preceptor, right?”
“Dad believes you too. Dad and your brothers are just worried… Yaoyao, you don’t have to suffer like this. Dad and your brothers will protect you.” Shen Liu’an sighed faintly and reached out to stroke Shen Yaowei’s smooth long hair.
Shen Yaowei took the opportunity to hug Shen Liu’an’s arm and whine. “But Daddy, since there’s a chance, I want to try my best. 1 promise 1 won’t take the risk!”
“Dad, since Yaoyao has already made up her mind, why don’t we go along with her thoughts? After all, talent is rare. The Imperial Preceptor must have taken a fancy to this aspect of Yaoyao,” Shen Yuyan said.
“Alright then.” Shen Liu’an let out a long sigh and turned to look at Shen Yuqing. “I didn’t expect you to come back so quickly. I thought you would only be home in two days.”
“I came back this time, firstly to visit Yaoyao, and secondly, because the anniversary of Mother’s death will be in a few days.” At the mention of Song Lanyue, the smile on Shen Yuqing’s lips disappeared completely, leaving only sadness in his eyes.
Not only him, but everyone fell silent when he said this.
The gentle and beautiful smile of her mother when she was alive appeared in front of Shen Yaowei’s eyes. Her heart seemed to have been hit by a punch, and a dull pain came. It was so painful that she could barely breathe.
“Alright, all of you pull yourselves together. Your mother liked to liven things up when she was alive. She’ll definitely be angry when she sees you all dispirited because of her. In addition, there’s an annual Lantern Festival before your mother’s death anniversary. On the night of the Lantern Festival, there’s a banquet in the palace. At that time, our family can enter the palace together.” As Shen Liu’an spoke, he took the initiative to stand up. “It’s rare for Fourth Brother to come back. Let’s get the kitchen workers to make a good meal today. Let’s have a fun time together.”
Shen Yuyan stood up as well. “Dad, let me do it.”
“I’ll go too!” When Shen Yaowei heard this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out excitedly when Shen Yifeng and Shen Yuqing pressed her back to her seat at the same time..
