Chapter 5: A hard-won peace

"Bah!" interrupted the parents' quarrel, and the two immediately ran out of the room, and found a photograph and some broken glass in the middle of the hallway, they crouched down to look at each other, as if to say that things were not simple.

Suddenly, they heard a scream.

The parents immediately stood up and hurried downstairs to find someone lying at the bottom of the stairs, unable to move. When they got closer, they found that it was Yan Yao.

The mother screamed in fright, "Oh my God, are you okay, what is wrong with you?"

"I'm okay...... Only...... It just hurts a little. Yan Yao replied.

"Don't say anything, get her up quickly. Father said.

The two worked together to carry Yan Yao to her room and find a doctor to treat her. After treatment, it was found that there were only some abrasions on the forehead and some broken legs, and there were no major problems.

Hearing the doctor's words, the parents also let go of their hearts.

Seeing the anxious and worried expressions of the two, Yan Yao felt some conflicting emotions in his heart — guilt and happiness. The guilt is that the parents are worried about themselves, and the happy thing is that the parents can focus on themselves together and not quarrel for the time being. Thinking of this, Yan Yao couldn't help but smile.

"Silly daughter, you can still laugh?" said the father.

"I'm happy. Yan Yao said.

Yan Yao suddenly remembered that she couldn't let her parents find out what she was eavesdropping, and she knew that as long as it was about her, her parents could agree and focus on her. She decided that she wanted to get hurt in exchange for a moment of peace at home.

"How happy to be hurt like this?"

"I'm glad I can take a leave of absence tomorrow instead of going to school. 」

"You haven't told me how you got hurt?" said his father, holding Yan Yao's hand, worriedly.

Yan Yao's brain was racing and he made up a story: "I was half awake and half asleep when I suddenly felt thirsty, and I wanted to go to the kitchen to drink water, but I didn't know what I tripped over, and I leaned forward, hit the handrail of the stairs, and fell to the ground. 」

Hearing this, my father frowned.

"I can't believe that we set up your room on the ground floor because we didn't want to cause danger, but this happened. The father shook his head and sighed.

"It was just an accident, I'll be careful next time. 」

"Okay, don't say any more, you better rest early, I'll ask for leave from school tomorrow for you. 」

"Yes, Dad, you and Mom should go to bed early, don't worry about me. 」

After closing the door, Yan Yao took a deep breath and thought, "I hope my parents believe me. 」

Leaving Yan Yao's room, his parents walked one after the other, and the father of the queen of the palace was alone to clean up the glass shards and put the photos in the drawer.
