Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1216 Repayment
Yuwen Ye immediately frowned and looked up at the man who slowly walked into the lobby.

He was not tall, but had an upright figure, handsome appearance, restrained aura, and slow steps, as if he was floating into the hall on clouds. When Yu saw him, she smiled and said, "Young Master Sun, you are here. Come and meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Queen."

The person who came was Sun Xianyue, who was temporarily staying in the Shen Mansion.

Although Sun Xianyue had never seen Yuwen Ye, when she saw the tall, cold, and imposing man sitting next to Shang Ruyi, she immediately understood his identity and stepped forward to pay her respects: "I, Sun Xianyue, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Princess."

Yuwen Ye raised his hand calmly: "No need to be polite, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Sun Xianyue bowed again and sat aside.

As soon as he arrived, the atmosphere in the hall changed. It was not as dull as before, but it was not much better. Yuwen Ye looked him up and down again, and then said, "Are you Pei Yunshen's disciple?"

"Yes."

"Have you visited Pei's family?"

"I don't want to disturb them,"

Sun Xianyue lowered his head, his eyes showing indifference that made it impossible to tell that he was willing to risk his life to enter the palace to dance for the Pei family, whom he had never met. After he finished speaking, he looked up at the Shen couple and said, "In fact, my injury has healed, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye to Master and Madam Shen. Thank you, Princess, for your care before."

"That's it..."

Hearing what he said, Yuwen Ye's expression softened a little.

Shang Ruyi, who was sitting next to him, kept staring at Sun Xianyue. From the way he walked in just now, Shang Ruyi could see that although he was moving freely, he still had some inconveniences. The most important thing was that although he said he wanted to leave, he did not act immediately after saying that. Instead, he looked at her cautiously.

That expression, as if he had something to say to me?
At this time, Shen Wuzheng asked: "Master Sun, do you have anything else to say?"

Sun Xianyue was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect him to see through her thoughts. When she was hesitating, Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you here--" Then, she turned to Yuwen Ye and said softly, "Don't you still have the matter of the Twelve Guards to discuss with your brother? I'll take Master Sun there to talk."

After saying that, he stood up and said to Sun Xianyue, "Young Master Sun, let's go."

Seeing her and Sun Xianyue walking out of the lobby with Tusheer, Yuwen Ye and Shen Wuzheng, who were sitting there, frowned slightly. They subconsciously glanced at each other, and then looked away.

After a while, Shen Shiyan said cautiously: "Your Highness, do you have something to discuss with Fu Ming?"

Yuwen Ye took a deep breath and finally said, "Yes."

After the three people on the other side walked out of the lobby, they walked along the somewhat dim path for a while. At this time, night fell. Shang Ruyi was not very familiar with this mansion. Fortunately, Sun Xianyue led the way in front. After a while, they arrived outside the wing where he was temporarily staying.

Pushing the door open, there was a light still on inside, and the flame flickered slightly because someone suddenly came. Sun Xianyue hurried in to protect that little light. With the help of the candlelight, Shang Ruyi looked around the room. It was spacious and clean, but there were no furnishings or utensils. There was only a screen, a table outside the screen, a few crescent stools, a cabinet in the corner, and a bed inside the screen. It could be said to be simple.

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Sun Xianyue smiled apologetically and said, "Mrs. Shen sent me a lot of utensils, but Cao Min doesn't like decorations, so he returned them all. Now, I am neglecting the princess."

Shang Ruyi then smiled.

It seems that although Sun Xianyue is a free and easy person, he is not ignorant of the ways of the world.

Because it was her uncle's house, she was considered half the owner, so she sat down at ease. Sun Xianyue personally brought a cup of tea to her, then sat opposite her and said softly: "I wonder if the princess has anything to tell me." Shang Ruyi took a sip of tea, then looked up at him and smiled: "I have nothing to tell you."

"what?"

"But Mr. Sun looks like he has something to say to me."

"..."

"Isn't it?"

Hearing Shang Ruyi's words, Sun Xianyue's face changed slightly, but he didn't look surprised. Instead, his fair and handsome face turned slightly red. Shang Ruyi was sure that he was not seeing things, so he said, "Mr. Sun and I can be regarded as friends in need. Moreover, you came to the palace alone to plead for the Pei family. I admire your righteousness. Mr. Sun, if you have anything to say, you may as well speak directly."

Although she said so, Sun Xianyue remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "I mainly want to thank the princess."

Shang Ruyi raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Sun Xianyue said: "I am grateful to the princess for helping me and taking me in to heal my wounds."

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "You were implicated because of my affairs. If I save you, it can be considered as saving myself."

Sun Xianyue added: "I still want more, and I still want to thank... Miss Changwan."

Hearing him stuttering and hesitating for a long time, and finally saying this sentence, especially as if he had made up some kind of decision and said Changwan's name, Shang Ruyi immediately felt something and looked at him with wide eyes.

At the same time, she heard Tusheer, who was standing behind her, take a deep breath and take a small step forward.

Shang Ruyi asked: "Chang Wan?"

Sun Xianyue's face turned even redder, and even the orange candlelight couldn't cover it. He lowered his head, revealing his red ears, and said softly, "These days, in addition to the care of Lord Shen and Madam Shen, it is Miss Changwan who comes out of the palace every time to bring me good medicine and take care of my injuries. If it weren't for her, I would definitely not have recovered so quickly."

"..."

Shang Ruyi blinked and smiled, "Before I left, I told her to take care of you. This is her duty."

Sun Xianyue said: "Yes. But——"

"but what?"

"But I am still very grateful to Miss Changwan."

"..."

"I, a commoner, also want to repay her..."

Listening to him stammering these words, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but find it a little funny in her heart, and she patiently listened to it all. However, Tushe'er behind her was not so patient. While Shang Ruyi was listening to Sun Xianyue's words, she heard her scratching her ears and gritting her teeth behind her, as if she couldn't wait to help someone finish what was said.

In order to prevent the girl from speaking first, Shang Ruyi said, "It seems that Chang Wan has been very dedicated in taking care of Master Sun during the time I was away, which is why you feel so deeply."

"……Yes, it is."

"Then, how does Mr. Sun want to repay her?"
