Chapter 235 Hurting Me Under the Guise of Looking Out for Me

Princess Huimin seized the opportunity to say, "Doctor Shao must also be reluctant to part with the child. Why not go back with him?"

Shao He looked at their tacit exchange and felt thoroughly disheartened by Princess Huimin, as the implication was clearly to use the child as a threat against her.

While the stalemate persisted among the few people, a clamor arose from outside, "Who is out there?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Huaian walked in, offering a cupped-fist salute, "My respects to my aunt."

Princess Huimin, seeing who had arrived, felt somewhat uncomfortable and guilty.

The servant boy outside spoke with a wry smile, "Your Highness, Princess, I truly could not stop the Fifth Prince; he insisted on forcing his way in."

"You may leave."

Princess Huimin knew Pei Huaian's character; if he wished to come in, who could stop him?

"Yes." The servant boy turned and left.
