Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1183 Follow me home...

Upon hearing this, the first person to show a look of shock was not Liang Youying or Pei Xingyuan, but Shang Ruyi, who had been quiet the whole time.

She looked at Yuwen Ye with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears, but the latter's face was calm, without a single change of emotion, nor any trace of shame for "betraying" a friend.

No way.

how could be?

Given Yuwen Ye's personality, he would never betray his friends. Moreover, given the current situation, it is not impossible for him to take responsibility.

Why should we put the blame of everything on Pei Xingyuan?

Shang Ruyi subconsciously wanted to say something, but after a little thought, she closed her mouth.

At the same time, Liang Youying was finally shocked to confirm that she had not misheard this sentence. Shang Ruyi clearly heard her breathing choke all of a sudden. Her eyes, which were already a little dim, were now like the last candle in the wind, which suddenly went out, and her whole soul seemed to fall into the abyss.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but turn around and look at Yuwen Ye.

Then, he looked at Pei Xingyuan again.

When he heard Yuwen Ye's words just now, Pei Xingyuan's eyes flickered violently, and he seemed to be startled, but he did not say anything immediately. His bright eyes just turned around, and almost immediately calmed down. He still did not speak, but just looked at Yuwen Ye quietly.

As if waiting for something.

"so--"

Liang Youying's dark pupils looked down, as if he couldn't see anything, and his pale lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something.

She seemed to have no energy to say the following words.

Yuwen Ye took a sip of tea slowly and took the conversation calmly: "But Miss Liang, I still want to remind you that you can think that Xingyuan and I are very smart, but you don't have to think that we are too smart."

"..."

"After all, no one knew that someone would attempt an assassination on Tangquan Palace that night, and no one knew that Xingyuan would be arrested."

"..."

"Even the two of you going to rob the prisoner was unexpected."

"..."

"If you say that we were thinking of taking advantage of your background to take over Luoyang at that time, then you are overestimating ourselves."

Liang Youying's stiff and cold body trembled slightly, as if he had come to his senses, and Jiang Wei frowned and said, "You just said that you sent someone to remind Master Pei just because you knew that we were from Wanggang Village, so as to prevent him from being deceived."

Yuwen Ye said: "Not bad."

Shang Ruyi turned his head and looked at Pei Xingyuan again. Although he hadn't spoken a word, his facial expression was very rich. At this time, he looked pitiful and even a little aggrieved, and he nodded with his mouth pursed.

Unfortunately, no one looked at him.

Yuwen Ye glanced at him with the corner of his eye, shook his head with a look of disappointment, and then said: "But then again, what I just said was that it was not me but him who wanted to take advantage of your background, which doesn't seem to be entirely right."

Pei Xingyuan's eyes immediately widened.

Liang Youying frowned: "Why?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Because after you rescued him, I had expected that he would persuade you to deal with Liang Shide and take Luoyang."

"..." "Liang Shide and Xiao Yuansui have joined forces, and there are many old subordinates of Wanggangzhai in the city. If you want to take this place, as long as you act properly and the timing is right, it will be much easier than our military attack."

"..."

"So I am more confident than anyone else in attacking Luoyang this time."

Speaking of this, Liang Youying's face darkened again, recalling everything he saw on the altar today. Although Shang Ruyi came with thousands of Iron Frame Cavalry and looked indeed aggressive, any discerning person could see at a glance that it was not a battle layout. No matter how powerful the Princess of Qin was, going into battle in ordinary clothes was almost seeking death.

In addition, Yuwen Ye led the main force to capture Hui'an Gate first, and then went out of Shangdong Gate to control Liang Shide's subjects after entering the city, which shows his plan.

He really placed all his hopes on Pei Xingyuan and them.

At this moment, she took a deep breath, and finally turned her head to look at Pei Xingyuan as if she had made up her mind. There was an indescribable complexity and confusion in her eyes, as well as a hint of despair and helplessness: "So, you really have been using me all this time?"

Pei Xingyuan was startled, and just as he was about to say something, Yuwen Ye's cold voice sounded again -

"He can only use you."

Liang Youying frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Because he can't abandon his relatives like Liang Shide did."

"...!"

These words were undoubtedly like a heavy hammer, hitting Liang Youying's heart hard. Her heartbeat and breathing stopped in an instant, and her whole body froze there.

After saying the most important words, Yuwen Ye didn't seem to intend to speak again. He slowly picked up the teacup and blew it gently twice, then took another sip, and then another sip, putting his whole body and mind into the cup of fragrant tea.

And this was obviously an opportunity for Pei Xingyuan to speak.

Pei Xingyuan was silent for a long time, and he was about to lose his temper. Now he finally had the chance to speak, and his voice was a little changed with anxiety. He said, "King Qin is right, that's what I think. Although you rescued me and saved me from the disaster for a while, my relatives and friends are all in Chang'an, and they will definitely be implicated by me. As long as the case against me is not cleared, they will not have peace."

"..."

"But now that things have come to this, even if I say that it was the King of Qin who met me in Feishuang Palace that night, it is not credible. Moreover, the identities of the two of you will definitely arouse suspicion from the emperor."

"..."

"The only way is to make merit. The truth may not be clarified, but merit can."

"..."

"Only in this way can you return to Chang'an legitimately, and then, come home with me..."

Hearing the last sentence, Liang Youying's dark pupils trembled slightly, but there was no shyness on her face. Instead, after a long silence, she asked coldly: "But, when I told you about my life experience, you didn't tell me that you already knew all this."

Pei Xingyuan's face also showed a rare solemn expression. He said: "If I told you at that time that I already knew your background, wouldn't you doubt me?"

"..."

"Once you doubt me, will you still come with me to Luoyang and do all this?"

Liang Youying frowned and said nothing.

The answer is obvious.

This seems like a dead end with both ends blocked. No matter which way you go, it's wrong.

Happy New Year to everyone in advance
