Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 161 The identity of the daughter-in-law of your Duke's mansion is preserved

In the small compartment, the atmosphere was dull and embarrassing.

Of course, Shang Ruyi knew that Yu Wenye's appearance in front of Wang Shaoji just now showed that he would still act like a husband in front of everyone, that is to say, their deal would still continue.

However, that is also in front of outsiders.

It's just embarrassing for just the two of you.

Shang Ruyi struggled for a long time, and also felt that it would take at least a month to go back all the way, and she couldn't stay so deadlocked all the time, so she broke the deadlock by speaking first: "Does your injury still hurt?"

"..."

There was another muffled breath in the carriage.

After a while, Yu Wenye said: "If it doesn't hurt, I will ride a horse."

"..."

Shang Ruyi sighed softly.

Indeed, he usually doesn't ride with him when he travels. If it wasn't for his chest injury this time, he definitely wouldn't sit with him.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Suddenly, Yu Wenye said: "Have you thought about it, how are you going to explain to my father?"

"what?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at him in astonishment.

With Shangshang Ruyi's astonished gaze, Yu Wenye also understood, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you haven't thought about it yet."

"..."

"Then what have you been up to these two days?"

Shang Ruyi pursed her lips and said softly, "I beg His Majesty the Emperor to forgive my uncle's crimes. Your Majesty has promised me that when I return to Luoyang, I will order Uncle to be released from Lingnan."

A look of surprise appeared on Yu Wenye's face: "You—"

Shang Ruyi said: "I said before, I must rescue my uncle and the others, I have not forgotten this."

"..."

"Actually, I also wanted to intercede for Lord Pei and the others, but the emperor did not agree."

"..."

"He said that it is the limit to spare uncle."

Having said that, she looked at Yu Wenye with regret in her eyes, but saw that the latter had a solemn expression, and then looked at her with an indescribable strange brilliance. After a long while, he said softly: "You have a heart! , Xingyuan knows, and will be grateful to you."

Shang Ruyi shook his head lightly.

She thought about the question Yu Wenye asked her just now, thought about it, and said softly: "As for how to explain to dad, I, I will think about it again."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, then suddenly turned his face away, and said flatly: "No need."

"Huh? Why?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly, then turned his head and gave her a stare, and then said: "Although my father is Duke Sheng, he doesn't have such a high position and authority, and his daughter-in-law won't be known all over the world."

"..."

"The people in Yanmen County don't know who you are."

"..."

"As for the people in the palace and those officials who have seen you - last night, someone already made an example of you. Except for people like Wang Shaoji, no one will mention it again."

"..."

"Since no one mentions it again, you don't have to explain anything to your father."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shang Ruyi, and said with a half-smile: "Your identity as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion is preserved."

Although there was a bit of ridicule in these words, at this time, Shang Ruyi didn't care at all. For her, the most important thing was the safety of her uncle and the others, and secondly, her status as the daughter-in-law of the government.

Since this matter has been temporarily suppressed, she does not have to face Yu Wenyuan's censure, which is indeed great news for her.

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "This is great."

Yu Wenye snorted coldly.

At this moment, an order came from the front, and immediately, the carriage felt a slight jolt, and began to drive forward slowly. Shang Ruyi raised a corner of the curtain and looked out, and it turned out that the entire brigade had already started to move forward.

This Yanmen County is not big in the first place, and the government office was built in the south of the city. After a while, they walked out of the south gate along the road.

The wind immediately became noisy.

The curtain was constantly raised by the cold wind, and Shang Ruyi could see the small county town gradually being left behind by them with only one side of her face. Recalling the thrilling experience of the past few days, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but shiver.

She reached out and pressed the curtain.

It's passed.

If this is a hurdle in her life, then at least she passed it without any danger. Not only that, but she also saved her uncle. The injuries in this line of work, and even the nightmare experience, are worth it .

It's just that she doesn't know what she will face in the next road.

Feeling that the cold wind was blocked, Yu Wenye looked down at her, and especially saw her white and slender hand that was pressing on the curtain, with some small wounds left on it, obviously left by the war a few days ago Yes, but she didn't seem to care at all, only there was a slight sparkle in her clear eyes.

Yu Wenye took a deep breath, and slowly looked away...

|
This time, it took more than a month.

It seemed as if the cold wind from Shuobei had been brought back to the Central Plains. On the way southward, the cold air gradually swept across the land, getting colder every day. Even though Shang Ruyi was wearing thick clothes and sitting in a carriage holding a hand warmer, she still couldn’t bear it. Stop trembling.

And the people who followed the car complained even more.

This northern tour can be said to have been a complete failure.

Thinking of that night, Chu Yang's shining eyes, and his lost and bleak expression, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little heavy again. Seeing that Luoyang City was close in front of her eyes, she couldn't help thinking, Next, what will this proud emperor do.

Just when she was worried, Yu Wenye suddenly said: "I have a question to ask you."

"...?"

Shang Ruyi turned to look at him.

Along the way, the two of them had very little time to talk. Sometimes, they just sat in the carriage, like two clay Buddha statues. Except for necessary conversations, Yu Wenye hardly spoke to her.

At this time, he suddenly had a question to ask her?
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "What?"

Yu Wenye also lifted up a corner of the curtain to look at the team that was stepping on the mud and falling snow, and then said: "The things you said to me before seemed to the imperial court—" Seeing that Shang Ruyi's expression became tense , he smiled faintly, swallowed the rest of the words, and said, "Why is it that you are escorted by King Qin this time, and resisted the Turkic army? It seems that you are so eager for quick success."

"I do not have……"

"Ok?"

"I do not have."

Shang Ruyi murmured, as if it was yesterday, and Chu Yang also said those words to her.

However, she didn't.

Seeing her bewildered and stubborn, Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "Then what are you doing?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said: "This time the Turkic army raided the camp, if I hadn't actively resisted, I would have died on the way to escape; a hundred thousand troops approached the city, if I didn't guard Yanmen County with the king's escort, I would have died." He died long ago when the city was broken."

"..."

"There are no eggs under the overturned nest. I just want to live, not what you said - quick success."

"So you're just—"

Having said that, he paused for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of any words to describe her, or, he thought of it, but it was just inconvenient to say it.

Shang Ruyi saw his intentions, and said softly, "Being greedy for life and afraid of death."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows: "You are calm."

Shang Ruyi said: "I don't think it's shameful to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Oh?"

"On the contrary, I think that being greedy for life and fearing death is the best character of a person. For myself, for the ones I love, and to protect them, I have to live. Only by living can I see better scenery and meet, Better people."

"Better people..."

After repeating these four, Yu Wenye frowned slowly.

After a while, he said calmly, "You think about the long term."

Shang Ruyi felt a trace of inexplicable sadness in his words, couldn't help turning her head to look at him, and said seriously: "Could it be that there is no one in your heart——for her, no matter how difficult the environment is, Do you want to persevere and be a better person for her?"

"..."

Yu Wenye's expression became even weirder.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smiled lightly.

Why not?

Such a beautiful and delicate woman, suppressing the little bit of jealousy in her heart and not showing it, just talking about people's love of beauty, even if she is herself, she will want to protect such a beautiful person.

Thinking of this, even though I didn't want to, I still couldn't help but feel a sour taste welling up in my heart.

And Yu Wenye suddenly woke up, looked at the faint smile on Shang Ruyi's face, seemed a little annoyed, and said, "You talk too much."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

Before he could say anything, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Both of them shook, Shang Ruyi almost fell forward, but fortunately Yu Wenye quickly grabbed her waist and brought her back.

Shang Ruyi was flustered immediately, sat upright hastily, and moved a little away.

"Many, thank you."

Yu Wenye glared at her, but said nothing.

There was a loud noise outside, as if everyone was complaining, Yu Wenye opened the curtain, and asked Mu Xian who was following the car: "What's going on?"

Mu Xian said: "Second Young Master, it seems that someone is coming up ahead."

"Go and find out."

"Yes."

Mu Xian immediately got off his horse and ran forward, but Shang Ruyi felt a faint sense of uneasiness following the solemn expression on Yu Wenye's face.

They were about to arrive in Luoyang. No matter how big the matter was, they should wait for the emperor to go back. Why was there news on the way at this time?
In the end what happened?
The people outside seemed to think the same way. Everyone had a panicked look on their faces, and the anxiety gradually spread throughout the team.

Not long after, Mu Xian ran back out of breath, with a somewhat panicked expression on his face: "Second Young Master, something serious has happened!"

Yu Wenye frowned: "What happened?"
