Smile the meaning of the sentence

Hello

Would you help me to understand this sentence?
#1 Scolded by her father, Yuki got angry and went out of the room.

Which meaning is appropriate?

#2 Because Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.
#3 When Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.

Does #1 have another meaning? Or can #1 be read in many ways in some contexts?

Thank you.

Both can be used.

This simply means: Yuki to angry when her father scolded her and so she left the room.

#2 Because Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.-- this sentence answers the question "why did Yuki leave the room?"

#3 When Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.-- This sentence answers the question-- When did YUki leave the room?

Hope this clarifies.
