Huo Yao raised her brow and looked askance at Shangguan Yun. "Why? What are you up to now? "
"Then you misunderstood. How could I be up to no good?" Shangguan Yun coughed. "I just don't want to be apart from you."
When they came back last night, they had agreed to let him stay with Min Yu for the next few days for the sake of his safety.
"I guess so." Huo Yao smiled ambiguously. "You can't wait for me to leave."
Shangguan Yun immediately straightened his back and defended himself. "Of course not. I can't even eat well without my sister around."
"Heh."
Huo Yao could not be bothered to expose the young man's hypocrisy.
Shangguan Yun went speechless.
Nowadays, no one believed in the truth.
Huo Changfeng overheard their conversation and said, "Miss Huo, it's fine if you bring him home for a few days."
Although the Huo family had many rules, no one dared to voice out their opinion.
Huo Yao smiled and shook her head. "The kid grew up in the countryside and is used to being wild. He will be more at ease if we leave him alone."
Huo Changfeng glanced at Shangguan Yun and did not press the matter.

Huo Yao and Uncle Changfeng arrived at the Huo residence at noon.
"Where's Master Feng? Is he upstairs? "Huo Changfeng glanced at the empty living room and asked the old butler.
"Master Feng took a call. It seemed like he had something urgent to attend to. He left an hour ago," replied the old butler hurriedly.
Hearing this, Huo Changfeng pondered for a moment before asking, "Did Master Feng go out alone?"
"Little Six went with him."
Huo Changfeng felt relieved when he heard that. He knew Little Six's skills, and there were very few people who were his match.
Huo Changfeng turned to look at Huo Yao. He recalled something and changed his mind. "Oh yes. There's a race this afternoon. Miss Huo, do you want to watch?"
He knew that Huo Yao was a good racer. Most people who were good at racing were just hobbyists.
Huo Yao was not interested in watching the race. On the way back, she had been thinking about how to treat her uncle's health.
Although what she had said to Aunt Tong before was exaggerated, the serious loss of vitality in her body was the truth. If it was not treated in time, an accident could happen at any time.
Huo Yao contemplated before she said, "I won't be going to the competition. But do you know if there's a medicine market around here?" Huo Yao looked at Huo Yao and said, "I won't be going.
Huo Changfeng was slightly stunned. "The medicinal herb market?"
Huo Yao nodded. "The place that sells Chinese medicine."
Huo Changfeng seemed to have recalled something from the past and quickly replied, "Yes, but Eldest Miss, you suddenly want medicinal herbs … Is it because of Master Feng?"
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao gently.
When Huo Changfeng heard this, he opened his mouth to ask about Master Feng's situation. However, because there was an old housekeeper next to him, he did not ask in the end. He only said, "You're not very familiar with this place. How about this? Young Miss, make a list of the herbs you need. I'll go buy them now."
However, Huo Yao shook her head and rejected him. "It's important to pick herbs at the right time. The age of some herbs depends on how old they are, so it's easy for outsiders to confuse them. Uncle, just tell me the address. I can go by myself."
Most of the herbs she wanted were not expensive, but there were a few that had to be picked according to the season.
For example, the same herb would have different effects if it was picked in the summer and autumn, so it would affect the medicinal properties of the final product.
To be on the safe side, it was better for her to buy them herself.
