172 Do I Have to Choose One Of The Two?
Since he had already said so much, Yan Bei knew that it wouldn’t be appropriate to continue looking for excuses.
“To be honest, my master has indeed fallen into a deep sleep. Unless he wakes up on his own, no one can wake him up,” Yan Bei said slowly.
Shen Yaowei’s heart skipped a beat. She frowned and looked at Yan Bei. “Yan Bei, what do you mean? Is my Ninth Imperial Uncle sick?”
“Is it because of that jade pendant?” Shen Liu’an frowned and asked Yan Bei.
Yan Bei nodded. “Yes, Master usually sleeps very little every day, and he doesn’t sleep well every time. However, every time Master falls asleep with that jade pendant, he will fall into a deep sleep. Unless he wakes up voluntarily, no one can wake him up.”
“I want to see him.” Shen Yaowei didn’t know what kind of jade pendant it was, but now wasn’t the time to talk about this. She jumped down from the tall stool barefooted and quickly walked out of the house, ignoring her injured ankle.
“Yaoyao, put on your shoes.” Shen Liu’an picked up Shen Yaowei’s shoes and chased after her.
The other three people in the room quickly followed.
Shen Yaowei knew that Yan Bei would definitely stay in the room next to Huo Junhan’s, so she went straight to the room next door, pushed open the door, and walked in.
The room was very quiet. The window was open, and a cool night breeze blew into the room from the window, gently blowing open the gauze bed curtains.
Shen Yaowei walked barefoot to the bed silently and looked down at the man lying on the bed.
Just as Yan Bei had said, Huo Junhan was sleeping very soundly, so much so that he didn’t notice her appearance here at all.
“Yaoyao…” Shen Liu’an came behind Shen Yaowei and glanced at Huo Junhan. “Now that you’ve seen him, can you leave with me?”
Shen Yaowei’s gaze landed on the jade pendant in Huo Junhan’s hand, and she shook her head gently. “Father, you and my brothers can leave first. I want to stay here with my Ninth Imperial Uncle.”
Shen Yuyan and Shen Yifeng also chased her into this room. Hearing Shen Yaowei’s words, Shen Yuyan wanted to persuade her, but Shen Yifeng stopped him.
Shen Yifeng shook his head at Shen Yuyan, signaling him not to speak. Then, he looked at Shen Liu’an. “Father, since Yaoyao wants to stay here, let’s go first.”
Shen Liu’an sighed and said, “Alright then. Father will come and look for you tomorrow.”
Shen Yaowei smiled and looked at Shen Yifeng gratefully.
Shen Yifeng shook his head helplessly and lovingly at her. “Be careful of where you’re hurt.”
“Got it, Brother,” Shen Yaowei said with a bright smile.
After Shen Yuyan left with Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng, he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, why did you let Yaoyao stay here? Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Between her and His Highness Li…”
“Yuyan, can’t you tell that Yaoyao really likes His Highness Li?” Shen Yifeng said with a faint smile. “I think His Highness Li is more than a thousand times better than Prince Zhao. If I had to choose a future brother-in-law between the two, I think His Highness Li would be much more suitable than Prince Zhao.”
No matter what other people thought of His Highness Li, he didn’t care. As long as Yaoyao was happy, as long as His Highness Li treated her well, that was enough.
“Do we have to choose between these two people?” Shen Yuyan got excited for some reason, causing Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng to look at him.
