Upon hearing this, Yue'er stared blankly at her Big Brother. His subtle barbs cut far deeper than her own brother's stern reprimands—this was making her truly regret sneaking away!
Had she not slipped out while they were gone, she could have waited for Mother to arrive at the mountain and left with her.
At this thought, she hung her head dejectedly. "I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I'll never disobey again."
Seeing this, Hao'er didn't say much else. He simply reached out and patted her shoulder. "Master went out on business. We happened to run into you here. Until Master returns, we'll stay by Mother's side."
"It's crowded and noisy here. Let's sit in the tavern up ahead!" Mi'er chimed in beside her, eyeing the little girl curiously. Who'd have thought someone so young dared to roam alone? Impressive! Truly the child of her master.
"Alright." Feng Jiu agreed, leading the children toward the tavern ahead.
