Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 116 I Think You Are Unhappy
Yu Wenye looked at her quietly, although the light was dim, but for some reason, his eyes seemed to be a little brighter than usual.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi's face was on fire, and just as he didn't know how to respond, there was a light knock on the door, and then Shen Wuzheng said softly: "Ruyi, are you asleep?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, he immediately frowned.

And Shang Ruyi has already heaved a sigh of relief - saved!

She took three steps and took two steps to open the door, only to see Shen Wuzheng standing at the door, looking at her tenderly: "Are you still asleep?"

"No, bro, what do you need from me?"

"I haven't seen you for so long. I have something to tell you. Are you going to rest?"

After going through so many things tonight, Shang Ruyi didn't feel sleepy at all, not to mention the situation in the room, it was even more difficult for her to stay in the same room with Yu Wenye, so she hurriedly said: "Actually, I can't sleep, I want to talk to my brother say."

"That's good,"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Then, come to my room."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he seemed to feel a sharp gaze staring at his back. He turned around, looked at Yu Wenye who was standing in the room, and said calmly: "Young Master Yuwen, my little sister and I I still have something to say, so I won’t disturb your rest.”

Shang Ruyi also looked back, wanted to say something more, but was still embarrassed after all, just nodded hurriedly, and left.

Shen Wuzheng's room is next door, and when he walked in, it was similar to her room.

However, on the low table in the center of the room, in addition to a candlestick, there are also two earthenware cups filled with water.

Shang Ruyi walked over and sat down with him face to face.

It wasn't until this time that Shang Ruyi managed to calm down the embarrassing emotions and disturbed heartbeat just now, took a sip of water from the cup, and raised her head again, only to see Shen Wuzheng looking at her carefully with a smile through the candlelight.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Look at the difference after my little sister got married."

Shang Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, raised her face to show him clearly, and said, "What's the difference?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "You are haggard."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

She lowered her head subconsciously, and said with a complicated expression: "I'm a little tired after running such a long distance overnight."

Shen Wuzheng said: "I said haggard, not tired."

"..."

"I don't think you're happy."

"..."

"Ruyi, tell me honestly, is Yu Wenye treating you well?"

Hearing this sentence, Shang Ruyi felt the sourness in her heart surge up like a tide, a hot touch flowed in her eyes, almost bursting out of her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her fragility at this moment, and smiled He said: "Brother, how can you ask such a question!"

Shen Wuzheng said: "I only care about this matter, why can't I ask such a question?"

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and then said: "He treats me very well."

Shen Wuzheng stared at her with burning eyes: "Really?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, then looked up at him with a smile, and said, "Everyone knows it's a risk to the world to save my uncle and aunt this time, but he is still willing to bring his people to accompany me. It's not good for me, how can it be so?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shen Wuzheng's expression eased a little.

But he didn't show any reassurance or even joy.

He held the water glass with one hand on the table, but he didn't pick it up for a long time to take a sip. He only sighed after a long silence, then raised his head to look at Shang Ruyi, and said softly: "My Ruyi, It's grown up after all."

"..."

"It's just that I didn't expect that you will be married so soon."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I can't be a child all my life."

Shen Wuzheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly reached out to rub her heart: "I hope you will be a child all your life."

He obviously felt that he had grown enough to be a married woman these days, but when his elder brother rubbed his hair like this, the kind of childishness still surged up again, Shang Ruyi even felt a little bitter, if it was really possible not to marry for the rest of his life People, stay with uncles, aunts, and elder brothers, that's fine.

In this way, can she always be as happy as she was when she was a child, without having to taste the bitterness in her relationship?

But the current self-

She was afraid that her thoughts would be seen through, so she forced a smile, and immediately changed the subject: "Brother, what are your plans next?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "How do you plan?"

"Tomorrow we should be going back to Luoyang."

"Then be careful on the way. I will accompany my parents to Lingnan."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Brother, do you still want to go?"

Shen Wuzheng nodded and said: "Although the officials escorting them will not embarrass them, the road is high and the road is long, and the situation gets worse as you go south. I am by their side, at least they can make them suffer less."

"..."

"Also, I have to see the situation in Lingnan with my own eyes to be at ease."

"..."

"When I go to settle them down, I will find time to come back and meet with you."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him sadly, thought that he would be able to reunite with his family this time, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, and Shen Wuzheng didn't even have time to go home, and had to go to Lingnan with his uncle and aunt.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "I also want to..."

Shen Wuzheng immediately said: "Don't think about it!"

"elder brother……"

"Although I love your marriage—but right now, staying in Luoyang is your best choice. Lingnan is a land of miasma, even if you want to go, I won't let you go!"

"elder brother……"

Shang Ruyi also knows that although her elder brother loves her very much on weekdays, when it comes to her own safety, it is useless to act like a baby, and besides, it is indeed impossible for her to accompany her as the young wife of the Duke's Mansion. When my uncle and aunt went to Lingnan, they could only nod their heads aggrievedly.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "By the way, brother, when you come back this time, is it Muxiu, or have you finished your studies and returned home?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "I'm already full teacher."

"So, when I come back this time, I won't go back to Mr. Li's place again? Does my brother have any plans in the future?"

"What do you mean?"

"For example, if you want to become an official, or—"

Shen Wuzheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at her: "You want me to be an official?"

Shang Ruyi immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No!"

Seeing her like this, Shen Wuzheng immediately laughed. He put one hand on the table, lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and said: "I received a letter from my mother before, and she also mentioned that you once persuaded my father to resign and return to office. Xiang. Ruyi, you seem to have little confidence in the imperial court."

Shang Ruyi looked at him: "Brother, do you have any?"

The moment he heard these words, Shen Wuzheng's gentle eyes immediately became dark.
