When he returned to the merchant house, the sun was setting in the west and dusk was approaching.
Shang Yiqing sneaked in through the back door. She didn't dare to let anyone find her, let alone the matter of her sneaking out of the house, she couldn't explain to her family just the clothes she was wearing.
"Miss is back." When Old Zhang, who was guarding the door, saw him, he went up to greet him.
Shang Yiqing put the middle finger of her right hand between her lips and made a silent gesture, signaling Old Zhang not to speak. After entering the back door, they walked towards her room.
As soon as she entered the room, before she could open the door, the door was pushed open with a 'whoosh', and an angry old face appeared in the room.
When Shang Yiqing saw her face, she couldn't help smiling ingratiatingly. "Dad, why are you here?" he stammered.
"I am not waiting here. How would I know that you have just returned?" Shang Tiancheng said angrily as he glared at Shang Yiqing.
Shang Yiqing took the opportunity to slip into the room and went forward to support Shang Tiancheng's right hand in a coquettish manner, "Daddy, don't be angry. Your daughter just went out for a while today, didn't she come back?"
"You still dare to speak of it for a while longer?" Shang Tiancheng was even more infuriated now. His face was as stiff as a piece of marble and he completely ignored both Shang Yueqing and the conference hall to curry favor with him.
Shang Yiqing smiled and helped the old man to sit down. "Don't be angry, dad. I'll be back early in the future."
Shang Tiancheng looked at her from head to toe as he snorted, "Look at how you're dressed!" You still dare to say that next time you go out? "Hmph, I think you want me to die from anger!"
Shang Yiqing stuck out her tongue and obediently lowered her head, "I know my wrongs!" It was a very sad expression.
Seeing Shang Yiqing like this, Shang Tiancheng's expression became slightly calmer. However, her tone was still stern as she asked, "Where did you run off to today?"
Shang Yiqing's eyes lit up, "Father, you didn't know that I would be going to pick Zi Yanran today."
"You mean Zi Yan Ran?" Shang Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. That was a strange plant that could cure a hundred poisons. He had only seen one in his entire life, how could his daughter know about that?
"That's right, dad. Your daughter heard that flower can cure a hundred poisons, and normal people can extend their lives by consuming it. The stronger the tendons, the stronger the bones, so …" Shang Yiqing sneaked a glance at Shang Tiancheng and saw that her father's face was no longer as dark as it was before. In her experience, he seemed to have eased up a little, so he grew bold and said, "So my daughter went to pick them."
Shang Tiancheng stroked his beard and extended his hand in front of Shang Yiqing, "What about Zi Yanran?"
"Dad, you don't know? My daughter originally got the flowers, but then she met a villain and got robbed by him." "That person is truly hateful. Next time, don't let me see him. If I see him again, I will definitely show him who's boss!" When she thought of that white-clothed gongzi, Shang Tianqing's teeth started to itch in hatred. Her left hand clenched into a ball. If that person was in front of her right now, she would not hesitate to give him a few more earrings.
While Shang Yiqing was gritting her teeth and daydreaming, Shang Tiancheng snorted heavily again, "Are you going to keep making things up?"
He didn't know why, but his daughter had always been gentle and tactful. Since she was young, she had always been a good girl, but ever since she was rescued six years ago, her behavior had changed drastically. She knew that all kinds of troubles would arise, and she would sneak out whenever she wanted.
"Father, I swear by Nightingale's name, I absolutely did not say I was panicking. What I said was all true!" Shang Yiqing raised her right hand and pointed three fingers at the air as she spoke solemnly.
There it was again, Nantes or Gale, a name no one had ever heard of before her daughter fell into the water, but since she woke up, the words had become her catchphrase, and she mentioned it all the time, and no one knew what it meant, and when she asked her, she couldn't explain it.
Just tell me about you sneaking out today. You said that you went to pick flowers, but this old man did not see any flowers, but you said that you met some villains, so how did you get out? Did someone take advantage of you? " Although Shang Tiancheng felt a headache coming on for his daughter, he only had one daughter under his knee. Naturally, he doted on her very much. After hearing that she had met an evil person, he was still concerned for her safety.
Shang Yiqing patted her chest and said boldly, "Dad, don't worry. With your daughter's intelligence, she won't be able to escape!"
"Are you sure you're alright?" Shang Tiancheng narrowed his eyes as he asked uncertainly.
"Of course! Do you feel like your daughter will be bullied by others? " Shang Yiqing blinked her eyes, pretending to be innocent and innocent.
Only then did Shang Tiancheng reveal a smile on his face as he barked sternly, "If there's a next time I see you leave, I'll …"
"Just lock me up in my room. I can't go anywhere for a month, so I have to close my eyes and think!" Shang Yiqing interrupted the old man and continued speaking. Then she looked at the old man with a smile. Through her observation, she noticed that the old man's face had relaxed a little. Therefore, she felt a lot more relaxed.
"It's good that you know this." Shang Tiancheng chuckled as he stroked his beard. Then, as if he had remembered something, he said to Shang Yiqing, "Oh right, the emperor wishes for me to enter the palace for the empress to have a look tomorrow. By then, you can follow me into the palace." Shang Tiancheng was the most famous imperial physician of the Southern Champion Kingdom. His medical skills were superb, and he was highly valued by the Emperor.
"Father, why did you let me enter the palace with you? I don't like places like the palace! " Shang Yiqing pursed her lips. It wasn't like she hadn't gone to the palace with her father. Although it was magnificent, it gave people a cold and detached feeling. She didn't like it at all.
"It's not up to you." Shang Tiancheng looked at his daughter. Although this daughter of his had the personality of a boy, there was one thing that he did not understand. Their Shang family practiced medicine for generations, and in his generation, they only had this kind of daughter, but this daughter seemed to be completely uninterested in practicing medicine. She had done even better than he had when it came to taking care of the sick, and that was why he had decided to take her to court with him so that he could take care of the queen.
