"It's not your fault, Yao'er." Cheng Lifan would never understand why her husband could treat his own daughter like this. It wasn't Shen Minyao's fault that his first wife had abandoned them anyway.
"Next time, don't be so impulsive, Yao'er. If Shen Qing tries to seek you out next time, you should inform me at once."
The fear she felt after she heard that Shen Minyao got lost at the Qingqiu Mountain was almost unbearable. She wanted to confront Shen Qing about what that woman had done to her stepdaughter, but seeing the latter in tears only made the situation worse for her. At least, Shen Minyao's complexion and mental state were good. Cheng Lifan only sighed in relief.
"I'll listen to you from now on, Mama. I won't let Brother Yin and Qing Jie bully me again," the fox woman responded.
