Yao Cheng was a bit surprised at the discomfiture he had noted in his father's demeanor. His father had been in the political arena for a very long time and had, therefore, long since established his influence and foothold. That said, his father would never act like this even in the face of an official with a superior rank.
As curious as he was, Yao Cheng kept any questions to himself; it was an inappropriate time to ask.
"Father, this is brother Wang Feng, the one I asked to examine your health. You're not against it or anything, right? I've actually heard great things about brother Wang Feng's medical skills," Yao Cheng said quickly, hoping to diffuse the awkwardness in the room.
A strange glint flashed in Yao Yuan's eyes at his son's remark. "Oh?" He said, looking a bit relieved.
