“Junhan, there might be something wrong with my mother’s death. She might have been killed by someone! As her daughter, 1 actually didn’t know anything and let my mother suffer so much alone. Junhan, the ground is so wet and cold. My mother has been lying in the coffin for so long, is she very cold?” Shen Yaowei said as tears flowed down her eyes.

She couldn’t believe what kind of torture her mother had suffered when she was alive.

Every time she thought of her, she would feel strong self-reproach and guilt.

“There’s still time for everything, and none of this is your fault. Listen to me, 1 promise to seek justice for you. But for now, you should rest,” Huo Junhan embraced Shen Yaowei and placed his other hand on her lower abdomen, channeling his spiritual energy into her body continuously.”

As soon as he saw her, he sensed that the spirit energy consumed in her body had yet to recover. It was time for her to rest.

His spiritual power turned into a warm current that spread throughout Shen Yaowei’s limbs and bones, making her entire body soften. She nodded without resistance and immediately nestled in Huo J unhan’s arms, falling into a deep sleep.

He carried Shen Yaowei until she fell asleep. Then he gently placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

Bowing his head, Huo Junhan gently kissed the girl’s reddened eyelids. He sat by her bedside, holding her hand tightly, and stayed with her until dawn.

It was rare for her to have a good sleep that night. Shen Yaowei opened her eyes in a daze. She didn’t see Huo Junhan at a glance, but she found an oil paper bag on the cabinet by the bed.

When she opened it, she realized that there were a few exquisite and delicious desserts inside. Shen Yaowei’s heart softened at the thought that Junhan had specially brought them for her after going out for a few days.

I’m not even a child anymore. Why is he using such methods to coax me?

Thinking of how she had hidden in Junhan’s arms and cried for so long last night, Shen Yaowei’s face turned red. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

“Miss, you’re up.” Zi Yun heard the commotion outside the door. She walked in with a basin and frowned. “Miss, quickly wash up and go out. Prince Zhao’s secondary consort is already waiting in the hall. She said that she specially came to visit because of the relocation of Madam’s coffin.”

“It’s a family matter. Why is this woman here?” Hearing Yu Linlang’s name, Shen Yaowei snorted angrily.

“Originally, Master wanted to use this reason to decline, but Yu Linlang insisted that she was Prince Zhao’s secondary consort. Master couldn’t continue to refuse, so he could only receive her,” Zi Yun said helplessly.

“I want to see what she’s up to,” Shen Yaowei said as she got out of bed to wash up.

After changing her clothes, she casually ate a few pastries to fill her stomach. She drank another cup of tea to suppress her hunger before walking towards the hall with Zi Yun.

As soon as she entered the hall, Shen Yaowei saw Yu Linlang, who had gained weight.

Yu Linlang was a size bigger than before. She appears plump and fair, not unattractive, but she completely lacks the lightness and agility of her previous teenage years. Even her appearance seems to have diminished by more than a small margin.

Yu Linlang sensed Shen Yaowei’s gaze. She turned around and looked over. Her gaze trembled fiercely, and strong envy appeared in her eyes.

Why does Shen Yaowei look even better than before?!
