Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1184 It’s rare to be confused
The atmosphere in the lobby fell silent for a moment. Although the autumn night was chilly, everyone felt a little depressed.

As time went on, this silence made Pei Xingyuan feel more and more uneasy. He looked at Liang Youying eagerly, and Shang Ruyi felt a little distressed and a little amused by her cautious demeanor. Just as he was about to speak to reconcile, Liang Youying had already spoken first.

She said to Pei Xingyuan: "You just said that you want to take me home?"

Pei Xingyuan said hurriedly: "Yes!"

"Do you really think so?"

"certainly,"

As if he was afraid that her suspicion of him would continue to grow, Pei Xingyuan said, "I had made up my mind since you risked your life to save me."

After saying that, he looked at her carefully again: "Will you come back with me?"

"..."

Liang Youying didn't say anything else. Shang Ruyi just watched her expression become more and more solemn. She looked silent as if she was in deep thought. But after a long time, she didn't say anything. Pei Xingyuan got anxious again: "You——"

Liang Youying suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, will you really remember our contribution in capturing Luoyang this time?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Not necessarily."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingyuan became anxious: "Your Highness!"

Yuwen Ye glared at him, then said, "The credit should be attributed to my own people. I have to share the credit with the King of Qi now. I don't know how much credit will be attributed to me. Of course, I will give the credit to my subordinates. They have followed me through life and death, and it is not easy for them."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Master Jiang and Miss Liang have been in Luoyang City and probably don't know yet, but this time the King of Qin led 3,000 troops to defeat Xiao Yuansui's 100,000-man army at Hulao Pass. This is an unprecedented victory."

When they heard the number three thousand versus one hundred thousand, they were both surprised.

Shang Ruyi continued, "The reason why these people dare to follow him and fight to the death is because His Highness never treats his own people unfairly."

Liang Youying said nothing, just lowered her eyelids.

After a while, she said softly, "It's getting late, so we won't disturb the King of Qin and the Queen from resting."

After she finished speaking, she looked back at Jiang Wei, who seemed to understand that both she and he needed some time to think about it, so he stood up as well. Together, they saluted Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi. Yuwen Ye did not stop them, but said calmly, "You guys go down too and have a good rest."

The two turned and left.

Pei Xingyuan looked reluctant and wanted to follow him, but just as he reached the door, he heard Yuwen Ye say, "Xingyuan."

Pei Xingyuan could only turn back: "Your Highness."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Shang Ruyi couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth and could only pick up the teacup and take a sip to hide the smile. Yuwen Ye stood up and walked in front of him. Although he was very disappointed, he still asked first: "Are you hurt?"

Pei Xingyuan listened to the footsteps outside gradually fading away, and was so anxious that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet: "No, I'm fine."

"Did anyone give you any trouble?"

"no!"

"Has the soul returned?"

"No—eh?"

Pei Xingyuan looked back at him with his eyes wide open. Yuwen Ye shook his head: "Do you know that it is best to leave her alone at this time and let her think things through carefully?"

Pei Xingyuan blinked: "What if she can't figure it out?"

Yuwen Ye almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but chuckle. She put down her teacup, stood up and walked to Pei Xingyuan, smiling and said, "If you can't figure it out, then you are a confused person."

"..." "Mr. Pei, with your current status and your military exploits, you cannot have foolish people around you."

"...!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingyuan's expression froze.

Although Shang Ruyi's words were meant to comfort him, they sounded very serious when he listened carefully. Indeed, Liang Youying and Jiang Wei's identities were special. If they had joined Yuwen Ye's army like Shan Tong'er or Shen Tutai before Yuwen Yuan ascended the throne, they would naturally become his own people. But they have only just appeared now, and they are involved in the assassination case in Tangquan Palace. It is not easy to clear their suspicion.

If Liang Youying really cannot accept what happened this time and insists on having her own way, then the road ahead will only be more difficult.

Pei Xingyuan lowered his head and sighed deeply.

Yuwen Ye shook his head, but still said in a gentle tone: "In short, don't stay by her side all day long, lest she gets annoyed by you before she has thought it through. The situation in the city is unclear these two days, so don't go out, just stay at the official's house."

Pei Xingyuan said: "Oh."

After saying that, he bowed to the two of them listlessly, turned around and walked away leisurely.

Yuwen Ye said: "Nothing!"

Shang Ruyi immediately turned around and looked at him: "You can't say that. It's rare that two people love each other. It's human nature to want to be together, and it's even more human nature to be reluctant to separate."

After saying this, he sighed: "If lovers cannot be together because of this incident, wouldn't it be a great pity in the world?"

"..."

Yuwen Ye looked up at the door again. Pei Xingyuan's back had disappeared into the night. He shook his head, turned around and walked back to sit down. No one disturbed him at this time, so he relaxed a little and drank the tea in the cup in one breath.

Shang Ruyi walked over and sat down beside him, leaning towards him, almost lying on him.

Feeling the warm, fragrant body leaning towards him, Yuwen Ye looked down and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shang Ruyi whispered, "So, you really didn't plan ahead?"

"..."

"Is this really just Master Pei's plan after the fact?"

"..."

Yuwen Ye didn't say anything, he just looked down at Shang Ruyi's twinkling eyes, after a while, he said calmly: "What do you think?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head: "I don't know."

Yuwen Ye said: "If you don't know, then you don't know. It's no good to know too much."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this is the sadness of smart people, honesty and calculation are always spoken together, true feelings and false intentions are also played to the end, and in the end, how much is true and how much is false, who can tell clearly?

The important thing is, it's rare to be ignorant.

Shang Ruyi could not help yawning as she felt tired. She was thinking about going to rest with him, even though there was not much time left before dawn, she would rather sleep as long as possible. But as soon as she looked up, she saw Yuwen Ye staring at her with a burning gaze, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Shang Ruyi said: "What's wrong?"

Yuwen Ye said: "You don't seem surprised at all."

"..."

"Just now, when Jiang Wei said that the person who met Xingyuan in Feishuang Palace was sent by me, you didn't seem surprised at all."

"..."

"You knew that a long time ago, didn't you?"
