Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1218: It is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage
Shang Ruyi was so angry that she was speechless and just stared at her. Tusheer then shrank her neck again, took a step back and whispered, "I know I was wrong..."

Shang Ruyi said: "Where are you wrong? You are absolutely right."

"princess……"

"I hesitate because I am sincere. I know Chang Wan can live well by staying with me even if she doesn't marry him. That's why I hesitate. If I can speak casually, I will only get someone I can treat casually. Do you understand?"

"..."

"You, you think you have good intentions, but you just broke other people's kindness by rushing to speak."

After hearing this, Tusheer understood and lowered her head in regret: "I know I was wrong."

Shang Ruyi shook her head and turned to walk forward. Seeing that she did not continue to blame herself, Tusheer understood that she was not really angry, or rather, her "small" mistake did not wipe out the happiness in her heart, so she took small steps closer and said softly: "But, I am really happy for Changwan."

Shang Ruyi looked back at her. Although there was a reproachful look on his face, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Tusheer had been with her since childhood, so how could he not understand her feelings? Seeing her like this, he realized that she was not really angry with him, so he became bolder and said with a smile: "The princess is happy too, right?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi finally couldn't help but smiled.

Tusheer clapped her hands, "I knew that the princess was also satisfied with Sun Xianyue. This young master Sun has good character and looks. Although he is not a prince, not all princes are as good as our prince in the past."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more talkative, and you even praised the King of Qin."

Then he reached out and poked her forehead: "It's just that the King of Qin is not here, so your flattery is not accurate."

Tusheer said with a smile: "I am the princess's servant. I don't flatter others. I only speak the truth."

"Humph."

Shang Ruyi glared at her again, then turned around and continued walking forward, saying softly as she walked: "You are right, you don't have to marry someone from a wealthy family or a prince. What matters is that the other person is a good person and his heart is sincere. Of course, what matters more is Changwan's feelings. She has to be willing to do this..."

Tusheer thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Why would she be unwilling? I see that she gets along well with Master Sun."

"is it?"

"Yes, although I have never been here with her, every time she comes back, she tells me what Sun Xianyue said to her. I remember how attentive she was. My ears are callused from listening to her."

Shang Ruyi laughed, turned around and glanced at her, then said, "Well, if she really gets married successfully this time, you don't have to worry about anyone 'nagging' you anymore."

Tusheer smiled at first, but soon became sad again and said, "Alas, to be honest, I can't bear to part with her."

"Oh?"

"Chang Wan treats me the best. She always thinks of me first when there is something delicious or fun to do. She even gives me my window seat when we sleep on the bed. Whenever it rains and my bedding gets wet, she helps me dry it."

"..."

"Looking back, I was mean to her before. I really shouldn't have done that."

Shang Ruyi also remembered that Chang Wan was specially selected by Guan Furen to be with Yuwen Ye, but she married him later and Chang Wan had no such intention, so the matter faded. However, even so, Tusheer still guarded against her for a long time like a thief, and only gave up when she saw that Chang Wan had no second thoughts. As they spent more time together, they got along very well and became good sisters.

It was no wonder that she was so anxious to speak for Sun Xianyue just now. She was obviously worried that Changwan would miss out on a good marriage. But when it came to seeing Changwan getting married, she couldn't bear to let her go.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "If you can't bear to part with her, then I won't mention this to Chang Wan when I go back, and I'll just tell Sun Xianyue that she doesn't want to, okay?"

"That won't do!"

Tusheer got anxious when she heard this: "Although I am reluctant to part with her, I cannot ruin her marriage. As the old saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage!"

Shang Ruyi covered her mouth and smiled: "Look how anxious you are, I was just teasing you."

"what?"

"Besides, who has the monk offended? The temple is going to be demolished. Do you think Shan Tong'er is going to be anxious for you?"

Tusheer finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "Princess, you are such a pity! How can you joke with me about this matter..."

The two chatted and walked slowly back to the hall, and the topic on this side seemed to have just come to an end. Then Shen Wuzheng said: "... Then, the left and right guards are responsible for the safety of Chang'an City and the surrounding areas, the left and right guards guard the outer city, the left and right guards guard the inner city, and the left and right guards are still in the hands of Yu Dingxing, actually under the command of the prince. There are no people from us in the area of ​​the prince's mansion; the Yulin Guard and the Jinwu Guard jointly guard the palace - this time when I came back, I found that the emperor has strengthened the guard patrol from Xuanwu Gate to Taiji Palace."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's originally brisk steps suddenly became heavy when she heard the three words "Xuanwu Gate". A gust of cold wind blew past, and she stood stiffly at the gate.

Shen Wuzheng also saw her, especially her pale face, and immediately asked, "Ruyi? What's wrong?"

Yuwen Ye immediately turned his head, and Tusheer also noticed something was wrong. She hurriedly reached out to support Shang Ruyi and called her softly, "Princess?"

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was slightly shocked, then came back to his senses, looked up at their concerned faces, and immediately smiled and said, "No, nothing."

As she spoke, she walked in and sat back next to Yuwen Ye, who frowned slightly, carefully looked at her face and expression, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head: "It's okay, it's a bit cold outside."

As soon as the voice fell, Yuwen Ye's warm big hand immediately touched her hand, holding her somewhat cold little hand tightly in his palm, and then said: "Well, it's a bit cold. Let's go back to the palace."

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

"It's not too late to discuss it later."

As he spoke, Yuwen Ye looked up at Shen Wuzheng. The Shen couple naturally would not stop him, especially Yu who looked at Shang Ruyi with concern. Shen Wuzheng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Well, it's not too late to discuss these things later. Princess, you should go back to the palace first, don't really catch a cold."

Hearing what they all said, Shang Ruyi no longer refused. After saying goodbye to his uncle, aunt and brother, he followed Yuwen Ye and left the Shen family.

Sitting in the carriage, Yuwen Ye also wrapped a wind cloak around her, and then held her in his arms with the wind cloak. The carriage was already warm, and with his thick and warm arms, Shang Ruyi immediately felt that all the coldness on her body was gone, so she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I was just blown by the cold wind just now, you don't have to be so careful."

Yuwen Ye still hugged her tightly and looked down at her: "Are you really okay?"

"..."

This time, Shang Ruyi did not insist on being stubborn.

Sensing her hesitation, Yuwen Ye's expression became more serious. He held her tightly in his arms, then looked down into her eyes. Her clear eyes flickered under her long, trembling eyelashes.

Yuwen Ye asked: "Why, what's the matter, can't you tell me?"

He had always hated it the most when she hid things from him, and several misunderstandings between the two of them in the past were caused by this. But this time, when he asked, he had no resentment but only concern, as if he was completely confident in her, but was just worried that something was wrong with her.

Feeling such trust, Shang Ruyi felt warmer. That warmth completely dispelled the bone-chilling chill that those three words brought to her heart. She finally raised her head and met Yuwen Ye's calm and gentle eyes, and said softly, "Fengchen, I have something that I haven't had time to explain to you clearly."

"Oh?"

"I'm not hiding this from you on purpose, but these things are just my feelings, and I don't understand them myself."

Yuwen Ye lowered his eyes and looked deeply into her eyes: "It doesn't matter, you tell me, I will believe it."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and finally said softly: "I am a little uneasy about Xuanwu Gate."

"Xuanwumen?"

Yuwen Ye then remembered that just now in the lobby of the Shen family, when Shen Wuzheng mentioned the Xuanwu Gate, Shang Ruyi happened to appear outside the lobby, and she immediately showed a very frightened expression; even until now, when she was held in his arms, when he mentioned the three words "Xuanwu Gate", he could feel the little woman in his arms shivering slightly.

She was really upset.

Yuwen Ye thought for a moment and said, "That kind of uneasiness is——"

Shang Ruyi said: "Just like back then, I knew that my father's prince would encounter an unexpected event in the future."

Yuwen Ye’s brows suddenly furrowed.

He thought for a moment and said, "Are those things you got from Yu Mingyue?"

Shang Ruyi pondered for a long time and said, "Maybe, but it's a little different. I knew clearly some of the information I got from Yu Mingyue before, such as my father would ascend the throne and his prince would meet with an accident. But Xuanwu Gate is different. I don't know what will happen here, nor do I know what it has to do with me. But from the first time - when I was in Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, when I passed by Xuanwu Gate, I felt that there was danger there, which made me uneasy."

"..."

"Now that I'm in Chang'an, this feeling is even deeper."

At this point, she stretched out a pale little hand from her wind cloak. Her palm had been warmed by Yuwen Ye's embrace, but her fingertips were pale and trembling slightly, as if she was still surrounded by a bone-chilling cold. She pressed her hand on the back of Yuwen Ye's hand and whispered, "I don't know, but maybe--"

Yuwen Ye slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering slightly in the dim light.

He said: "Maybe..."
