Yu Linlang’s head was facing down as she was swallowed by the swill. The cart under her rushed out of the alley and landed on the street.
The sour smell of the swill bucket caused the surrounding passersby to cover their noses in disdain. Then, they watched as the woman, who was covered in swill, stood up from the swill bucket.
Yu Linlang was covered in swill. The stench made her eyes darken. Her internal organs churned and she opened her mouth to vomit.
The vomit happened to fall into the swill bucket and mix with the swill, causing everyone around to flee in a hurry.
“Ugh… This woman is so disgusting! She’s actually soaking in a swill bucket!”
“Why does she look so familiar?”
“You don’t know her? She’s Yu Linlang from the Charity Institute, Prince Zhao’s secondary consort!”
“No, I’m going to vomit from the smell. Blargh!”
The passersby were all stimulated by the disgusting scene in front of them. They hurriedly left, afraid that they would be stained with the stench.
As for Yu Linlang, she stepped on the swill and tried to climb out of the swill bucket a few times, but she failed. In the end, she rolled her eyes and hung her upper body by the edge of the swill bucket before fainting.
Shen Yaowei stood in the alley and pinched her nose as she watched.
The surrounding pedestrians didn’t dare to make a move. Yu Linlang would probably be pickled by the swill when she was fished out of the swill bucket.
Satisfied, she turned around and left. Shen Yaowei returned to the General’s residence.
In the dining room, Shen Liu’an, Shen Yifeng, and Shen Yuyan were sitting at the table and looking at the dazzling array of dishes. No one ate first.
“Ahem.” Shen Yuyan coughed weakly.
“Yan’er, you’re not feeling well. You don’t have to wait with us for Yaoyao to come back. If you’re hungry, eat first.” Shen Liu’an saw that Shen Yuyan’s face was as pale as paper and couldn’t help but sigh.
Shen Yuyan had just woken up, but he had struggled to get up and was busy for a long time just to accompany Yaoyao for lunch. It was too much.
“Dad, I’m fine. I’ll wait a little longer.” Shen Yuyan had just finished speaking when he heard familiar footsteps. He couldn’t help but stand up excitedly. “Yaoyao, you’re back.”
Shen Yaowei entered and quickly helped Shen Yuyan sit down. “Third Brother, you haven’t recovered yet. Why aren’t you resting in your room?”
“When I woke up, 1 heard from Father and Big Brother that you’re not stupid anymore. You even canceled the engagement with Prince Zhao. I’m happy and want to help you celebrate. Cough, cough, cough…” Shen Yuyan said with a smile.
“You can celebrate anytime. Third Brother, your priority now is to recuperate.” Shen Yaowei sat between Shen Yuyan and Shen Yifeng and personally helped Shen Yuyan fill a bowl of porridge. “Third Brother, you’re not in good health yet. You can’t eat indigestible food like meat. Have more porridge.”
“Okay.” Shen Yuyan took the bowl of porridge and took a sip. “It’s delicious. The porridge Yaoyao scooped for me is delicious.”
“That’s great. I want Yaoyao to scoop porridge for me too.” Shen Yifeng sighed helplessly and picked up some food for Shen Yaowei and Shen Yuyan. “Forget it. Since you’re not feeling well, 1 won’t fight with you.”
The family burst into laughter. After dinner, Shen Yuyan looked at Shen Yaowei and said, “Yaoyao, it’s not easy for you to come back. Stay at home. Don’t go to His Highness Li’s courtyard. We’re all very worried if you’re alone there.”
“That won’t do. I’ve agreed with my Ninth Imperial Uncle that 1 can’t leave before the agreed date. Besides, with him protecting me, no one can hurt me.” At the mention of Huo Junhan, Shen Yaowei’s eyes instantly softened. A sparkling smile condensed in her eyes, and her face turned slightly red. She was like a peach blossom in March, lively and beautiful.
Shen Yaowei’s happy smile was like a needle that pierced into the softest part of Shen Yuyan’s heart, making him look even paler.
“Third Brother, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?” Shen Yaowei noticed Shen Yuyan’s abnormality and asked with concern.
As soon as Shen Yaowei spoke, Shen Yifeng and Shen Liu’an also looked at Shen Yuyan..
