Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 114
"what?!"

Shang Ruyi panicked immediately, and without time to think about it, she rode her horse and galloped towards the station in front of her.

"business--"

Yu Wenye wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he waved to the people behind him: "Follow, remember, don't do anything without my order!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the lead, and they rode their horses and rushed forward together with him.

However, after a distance of more than half a mile, they rushed to the Zhanping River post station almost in a flash. , there are two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the post station, one has been extinguished, and the damaged wooden door is full of cracks, even if it is closed, there is a lot of light. It wobbled and creaked.

Shang Ruyi rode the horse and ran outside the gate, even before the horse stopped, he turned over and jumped off, and ran in.

As soon as he ran to the gate, he saw what was going on inside.

The lobby on the first floor is very empty, with two or three low tables and a few gray blankets spread on the floor. Next to the earth wall on the left is a slender wooden ladder leading directly to the second floor. Three corridors lead to five or six rooms each. , for people to rest.

At this moment, the people in the inn didn't seem to be resting, and they were all in the lobby.

There were several bowls of soup, two plates of noodle cakes and one plate of meatloaf on the table in the center of the lobby. It was obvious that they were eating just now, but at this moment, everyone stood up, and the faces of several officials and Yicheng were complicated. , looking at the three people in the middle of the lobby.

Among them, the one with Shang Ruyi's back was a tall and thin man in a dark blue gown, and the other two were hugging him and crying something.

Shang Ruyi recognized at a glance that those two people were her uncle and aunt.

Both Shen Shiyan and his wife were wearing short gray jackets, their faces covered with dust. They were still crying and talking, but when they heard the sound of the door, they raised their heads and their eyes lit up.

Yu said in surprise, "Ruyi, why are you here?"

As soon as he heard her words, the shoulders of the person who was hugged by her suddenly shook, and he turned around suddenly.

This is a young man in his twenties, handsome and handsome, with an air of elegance all over his body, especially when he looked at Shang Ruyi, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and there were two deep holes at the corners of his mouth. His dimples made his smile look sincere and full of warmth.

Shang Ruyi's whole body trembled when she met those gentle and delighted eyes.

Immediately, all the nervousness before, and even the depression for a period of time, were soothed by those eyes full of gentle smiles at this moment.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound because she was too excited.

Until the man strode over and pulled her into his arms.

"As one wishes!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi opened her eyes wide, and felt a familiar, gentle atmosphere surrounding her, even though she had been away for several years, but with just such a touch, all the gentle memories came back.

She had a sore nose and hugged the person in front of her with both hands.

"elder brother!"

This person is none other than Shen Wuzheng, the only son of the Shen couple.

After being away for several years, I never thought that the two brothers and sisters would meet here. Shang Ruyi hugged her elder brother, tears welling up in her eyes. Shen Wuzheng looked down at her, and said in a deep voice, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at the familiar face in front of him—in fact, he was not familiar with it anymore.Compared with the obviously fleshy and childish face when he left, Shen Wuzheng has lost a lot of weight at this moment, and his outline already reveals the smell of a mature man.But those gentle eyes have not changed at all, and the warm breath on his body, as if the years he left are just a moment.

Shang Ruyi's throat got stuck again, and she said, "Brother, you have changed a lot."

"..."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my parents."

While talking, the Shen couple came forward with red eyes, Shang Ruyi hurriedly walked up to them again, and just about to say something, Yu said with distress: "You girl, what are you doing here?"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi looked at those officials hesitantly, unable to speak.

But at this time, even if she didn't say anything, looking at her dusty appearance, and coming to the post at this time, no one could guess what she wanted to do.

Shen Shiyan's face turned from red to blue, pointing at her and said: "You, why are you so stupid? You are still young and have a bright future, why are you so short-sighted. I am an old man, is it worth it for you?"

As he said that, he stared at Yu Shi fiercely again: "You are used to it!"

Yu muttered, "Why are you blaming me again?"

He was always refined and dignified in his daily life, and he never scolded Shang Ruyi loudly. This was the first time Shang Ruyi had been scolded in more than ten years.

She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, an officer who was onlookers sighed, and said, "Master Shen is really righteous, and your relatives will not give up on you. It's just that your children are too reckless."

Shang Ruyi looked up at him.

The official said: "Lord Shen is a criminal of the imperial court, even if you really succeeded tonight, in the future, can you hide for a lifetime?"

What he said was exactly in line with what Yu Wenye said just now.

Looking at the appearance of Shen Shiyan and Yu Shi again, although they were a bit haggard, they obviously had not received any abuse. Not only were there no shackles on their bodies, there were even their bowls and chopsticks on the table.

They actually sat and ate together.

The officer sighed, and said: "We will not hide it from you, although Mr. Shen was convicted, in our eyes, this is the real loyal minister."

Shang Ruyi was surprised: "You——"

The official said: "Master Shen, and Mr. Pei are all trying to persuade the emperor to stop attacking Liaodong - this is what all the people in the world are looking forward to. After years of fighting, the people have long since lost their lives. It’s just that our words can’t be heard by Datian. Someone suffered for saying this for us, how could we let him suffer again?”

"..."

"So, you don't have to come to do this kind of decapitation."

"..."

"We will not treat Mr. Shen badly during our journey. Even Lingnan side has the same intention."

The other officials and the post officials also nodded in agreement.

Shang Ruyi was filled with emotions.

Sometimes, when it comes to the right way in the world, it seems to be something too illusory. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit. After these days, even Shang Ruyi feels that no matter how deep the emotion is, it is not as good as A little exchange of benefits; but unexpectedly, there are still some people who have that little bit of kindness in their hearts, even when people are most desperate, they still give people, and even give the world a little hope.

Together with Shen Wuzheng, Shang Ruyi bowed to those people: "Thank you for your righteousness."
