Yu Wenye said, "Soone ca from Luoyang, escorting the remnants of that rebel army back to the Eastern Capital."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly asked, "Then how will they be dealt with?"
Yu Wenye replied indifferently, "Rebellion is a heinous cri. What do you think will happen to them?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi’s heart couldn’t help but sink.
In truth, she didn’t have much sympathy for those bandits. After all, they had nearly taken her life, and if not for Yu Wenye’s tily intervention, her fate might have been worse than theirs.
However, the words those people spoke had been unknowingly echoing in her ears these past few days.
Seeing her preoccupied expression, Yu Wenye said, "There’s no need for you to pity them."
"..."
"Instead of regretting them, think more about the living."
These words resonated with Shang Ruyi, and with a sigh, she nodded, saying, "You’re right. It’s the living who matter most."
Yu Wenye slowly walked over to the low table, sat down, sipped his tea, and then asked, "I heard you spent quite a bit of money today."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi’s face grew warm.
In truth, her lavish giving at ho wasn’t so act of bribery. After all, as the new daughter-in-law of the Yu Wen family, it was expected of her to show so courtesy. She was rely concerned about how Yu Wenye would perceive her actions.
She clearly rembered that Yu Wenye disliked her scheming.
After so thought, she softly said, "Don’t misunderstand. I have no ulterior motives."
"..."
"I just feel that having married into the Yuwen Family, I should do what a daughter-in-law should. That’s all."
Yu Wenye glanced at her and replied indifferently, "You don’t need to explain these things to . Just do what you think is right. As long as—"
"As long as it doesn’t involve plotting against your family, right?"
"Yes."
"I won’t."
As she spoke, Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but smile wryly in her heart—how could she possibly plot against the Yuwen Family?
Seeing her eyes dimd, Yu Wenye seed to realize his previous words were too harsh—no matter what, given their current situation, even if they weren’t like husband and wife, they shouldn’t be so estranged.
So, as Shang Ruyi got up and sat down opposite him, he poured a cup for her as well. Shang Ruyi, sowhat flattered, hurriedly reached out to accept it.
And as she stretched out her hand, Yu Wenye noticed her fingers.
"By the way, I heard you went to the dical clinic today?"
"You knew too?"
"I heard them talking about it when I ca back. How is it?"
"It’s nothing serious. The doctor said a couple of days of rest will be fine."
"That’s good,"
Yu Wenye took another sip of tea and then casually asked, "Did anything happen when you went out today?"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi’s heart stirred slightly.
She imdiately thought of the man who called himself "Yang Suyi."
From the Eastern Capital to Taiyuan, this man appeared nearly out of nowhere. His words and actions were almost all outside the bounds of normality, making him completely inscrutable.
Especially recalling what he said today, Shang Ruyi felt even more uneasy.
Seeing her fall silent, Yu Wenye asked, "Did sothing happen?"
Shang Ruyi shook her head, "No."
"..."
Yu Wenye gave her another look but didn’t say anything, rising instead to move toward the bed to rest. But looking at his straight back, Shang Ruyi suddenly said, "Yu Wenye, I have a question for you."
Yu Wenye didn’t turn his head, "What is it?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a long ti before finally speaking softly, "Who was it that arranged the marriage with you beforehand?"
