Since they couldn't agree on anything, Shen Mingjiang couldn't stay a moment longer and stormed off to the front yard.
*
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
When Shen Mingjiang stormed off, Shen Youying was still awake.
After Shen Muyu was confined to her home, her father was so angry that he went to the front yard and practiced shooting for an hour.
Shen Youying knew he was in a bad mood and needed to vent, so she didn't disturb him. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard from the servants that the master had gone to rest.
Before Matsushita could even exhale properly, a servant came to report that the master had stormed off to the front yard, seemingly having another argument with his wife.
Shen Youying sighed, remembering that her father hadn't even eaten dinner, and instructed the kitchen to send over a bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
"Miss, you should rest early too. Your face looks pale from staying up so late," Danzhu advised, noticing her pale complexion.
They had already traveled for half a day to get back to the Prince's Mansion, but before they could even rest, this incident involving the eldest daughter happened. Their own daughter had rushed back with her entourage, and now they had to deal with the tantrums and arguments in the neighboring courtyard. They were worried about both sides.

"I want to rest, but I can't fall asleep even with my eyes closed," Shen Youying said helplessly.
“Young lady, you should stop worrying about the eldest daughter’s affairs. It’s a thankless task.” Bai Luo also advised, “You’ll be the one getting married first anyway. No matter how bad the eldest daughter’s reputation is, it won’t affect you. Once something new happens, no one will remember it.”
Shen Youying glared at her and shook her head: "Do you think I can't sleep because I'm worried about my older sister? I'm worried about my father."
Looking out at the night sky, she said softly, "My elder brother's fate is unknown, and I've married into the Prince of Qin's household. Although Father doesn't usually say it, he must be worried. Since returning this time, his hair has turned much whiter, and his spirits are not as strong as before. If something happens to my elder sister, I'm afraid Father won't be able to bear it."
Upon hearing this, Danzhu sighed, "But the young lady is so stubborn that she won't turn back even after hitting a wall, it's not something we can change."
Shen Youying sighed: "We can only hope that she will figure it out herself."
