“Yaoyao, accompany your Second Brother first. Big Brother will go to Father and Mother to talk about the Qingxin Sect,” Shen Yifeng said.
Shen Yaowei nodded. After watching Shen Yifeng leave, she turned around and realized that Shen Wu was staring at her with a faint gaze. “Why is Second Brother looking at me like that?”
“You haven’t returned for so long. The last time I saw you, you were still delirious and silly. Seeing you today, I keep feeling that you’ve grown up. It’s all my fault. 1 only cared about seeking medical treatment outside and didn’t come back to see you earlier.”
Towards the end, Shen Wu couldn’t help but show an extremely guilty expression.
“Second Brother, don’t say that. I know that you went out to travel for so many years and practiced medicine to save people all for the sake of finding a cure for my illness. Second Brother, I’m no longer stupid. You should be happy for me.” Shen Yaowei smiled and sat beside Shen Wu.
“Yaoyao, I’ve seen many people and many things outside. I’ve discovered that sometimes, there’s nothing wrong with being a little silly. You were innocent and carefree in the past. I think you were very happy that way.” Shen Wu’s gaze shot ahead, and his eyes were filled with indelible sadness. “Now that your head is clear, you have to face many things, but your brothers can’t protect you anymore.”
“Second Brother, I prefer me like this now. In the past, I’ve always been protected, but I also have people I want to protect.” When Shen Yaowei mentioned this, she couldn’t help but think of her previous life.
In her previous life, she didn’t understand anything. In the end, everyone in the Shen family died tragically. Even Junhan paid everything for her. She used the blood and tears of her loved ones to understand that only if she was strong enough could she protect someone important to her. She never regretted it and only hoped that she could have enough strength.
“Looks like Yaoyao has really grown up. Although 1 don’t stay at home often, 1 understand you and know what you’re thinking. Unlike Big Brother, I’m more willing to let you take a gamble. I only hope that you remember that even without His Highness Li, you still have us. For Father, Mother, and us brothers, you just have to think about your own safety first before doing anything.” Shen Wu stood up and coughed twice. Then, he smiled and looked at Shen Yaowei. “Go back to your room to rest. I’ll go back to my room to drink medicine first.”
Shen Yaowei watched her Second Brother leave in silence. There were thousands of words stuck in her mouth.
Although Second Brother wasn’t at home all year round, he was the most meticulous person in the family. Even if she deliberately didn’t mention going to the ghost race just now, Second Brother still saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Shen Yaowei had no intention of mentioning it for the time being. It wasn’t that she wanted to delay her plan to go to the ghost race, but that she didn’t want to involve her family.!
Thinking of how her Second Brother supported her unconditionally, Shen Yaowei’s gaze became even more complicated. She got up and walked towards her room.
That night, the family ate dinner happily.
It had been many years since the Shen family had gathered them like this. Song Lanyue couldn’t eat at the dining table, but her existence still made everyone in the Shen family feel very gratified.
Shen Liu’an and his four sons couldn’t help but drink two more glasses of wine. Shen Yaowei sent her brothers back to their rooms one by one, then returned to her room and packed her luggage.
After putting away her luggage in the storage space, Shen Yaowei heard the commotion in the courtyard outside the door. She got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.
What entered his eyes were Yan Bei and the secret guards of His Highness Li’s manor behind him. As soon as Shen Yaowei appeared, the secret guards’ figures became shorter uniformly.
Yan Bei led the way and knelt down. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Greetings, Your Highness!”
“Junhan hasn’t been around these few days. I know that you must have worked hard to protect His Highness Li’s manor. Next, I’m going to leave for a period of time. During this period of time, you have to do your best to protect the manor,” Shen Yaowei said, but she didn’t receive any response. Her eyes revealed indifference. “Why, are you unwilling?”
“It’s not that we’re unwilling, but we don’t want to wait for death. We know that Your Highness wants to go to the ghost race to find His Highness’s whereabouts and kill the ghost race to avenge His Highness. We hope to follow Your Highness and help Your Highness!” Yan Bei lowered his head and said with a serious expression.
“You guys are pretty well-informed.” Shen Yaowei looked at Yan Bei and the others quietly and said slowly, “I almost died when I went to the ghost race this time. I can’t guarantee that 1 can return alive. You’re Junhan’s subordinates, but you call me Princess Consort respectfully. As your mistress, I can’t let you die. The situation is special now. If you want to leave the manor, it’s fine. There’s no need to take the risk with me.”
“Your Highness, we came voluntarily! As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we won’t give up on following His Highness Li. We were originally some desperate people. His Highness Li gave us a chance to be loyal to him. It was His Highness Li who nurtured us to have what we have today! We know very well that it’s very dangerous to go to the ghost race, but we would rather die than abandon our master. Please fulfill our wish, Your Highness!” Yan Bei kneeled on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
“Your Highness, please fulfill my wish!” The secret guards behind Yan Bei said in unison and kowtowed.
Seeing that everyone’s gazes were firm, the smile in Shen Yaowei’s eyes disappeared. “Alright, it’s been difficult for you to be so loyal. I plan to set off for the ghost race immediately. Wait here. I’ll tell you what to do next after 1 see my parents.”
“Thank you, Your Highness. Goodbye, Your Highness!” Yan Bei cupped his hands at Shen Yaowei and watched her leave.
Shen Yaowei walked all the way to the courtyard, where Shen Liu’an and Song Lanyue lived.
Along the way, there was no obstruction. When Shen Yaowei entered, she happened to see the drunk Shen Liu’an lying on Song Lanyue’s lap. The two of them were very intimate.
“Cough, cough, Father, Mother, I don’t think 1 came at the right time?” Shen Yaowei coughed twice, trying to relieve the awkwardness.
Song Lanyue looked calm, but Shen Liu’an, who was a father, couldn’t take it anymore. He hurriedly sat up. “Yaoyao, why aren’t you resting at this time of night?”
“Since Yaoyao is here, she must have something to say.” Song Lanyue waved at Shen Yaowei. “Come, Yaoyao, come to Mother.”
“Mother, you should have guessed that I’m here about the ghost race, right?” Seeing that Song Lanyue smiled and agreed, Shen Yaowei held her translucent palm. “Mother, I plan to set off for the ghost race immediately. I’m here to say goodbye to you this time.”
“Didn’t your brother say that you weren’t leaving for the time being and wanted to consider it for two more days?” Shen Liu’an asked in shock.
“I came up with a trade-off because 1 was worried that Big Brother would accompany me to the ghost race. This time, I don’t plan to involve our Shen family in this matter. I want to go to the ghost race myself,” Shen Yaowei said with a firm gaze..
