Noble First Daughter-in-law

These heavy words, like a big cold stone, fell on Shang Ruyi's heart all of a sudden.

She was almost sure that Wang Shaoji must have been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and deliberately told Yu Wenyuan what happened in Yanmen City, and maybe added some embellishments, just to see herself, or to see the good show of the Duke's Mansion— ——Yu Wenyuan didn't directly ask about that matter, but asked about Shen Shiyan's pardon, firstly, to save himself some face, secondly, he didn't want the Duke's Mansion to cause an unbearable scandal .

Or maybe, he still has some leeway for his daughter-in-law after all.

And at this time, her own answer is very important, otherwise, once he is completely disappointed in her, her status as the daughter-in-law of the country's father and even her future will be destroyed overnight.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's breathing became tense, and after thinking about it, she finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"I--"

But before she could say anything, she heard Yu Wenye calmly say: "Father, why didn't you ask me about this just now?"

Yu Wenyuan frowned and looked at him: "You?"

Yu Wenye said: "Speaking of which, this matter is also my son's fault. This time following His Majesty's northern tour, my son - negligence for a while, and Ruyi parted ways. I will arrive a few days later than them. When we were still on the road , Ashina Shali has besieged Yanmen City for a long time."

"..."

"Ruyi, she was injured because she was shot by Ashina Shali's Mingdi."

"what?"

Yu Wenyuan was shocked: "Before you only said that she was injured, I thought she was injured by Turkic soldiers while fleeing like everyone else, how could she be injured by Ming Di of Ashina Shali?!"

With that said, he turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi again: "You kid, why don't you say anything?"

Between the words, the concern is beyond words.

Shang Ruyi was also a little surprised. It turned out that he didn't know about it all the time. Now it seems that Yu Wenye deliberately hid half of what he said. In this way, Yu Wenyuan only now knows that he was shot by Mingdi, so he will naturally treat her more. There is some pity.

It would be much easier to explain a lot of things.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help lowering her head, and secretly glanced at Yu Wenye—he seemed to be helping herself.

Yu Wenye continued: "I didn't say it before because I was worried about you, but now it's okay. It's just that Ruyi was seriously injured at the time, but the gate of Yanmen City was about to be broken, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so she dared to ask His Majesty Admonishment, stop the conquest of Liaodong, in this way, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and they were able to defend Yanmen City. Your Majesty rewarded her, and personally escorted her back to recuperate."

"..."

"Afterwards, I arrived again and killed Ashina Shali's army before breaking the siege of Yanmen. Speaking of which, Wang Shaoji has always hated us for being robbed of credit."

When he said these words, Shang Ruyi looked at him and sighed softly in his heart.

This man... is too good at talking.

He usually doesn't talk much and is cold, but he didn't expect that he could disturb the situation and even turn black and white as soon as he opened his mouth. Although the things were all those things, he changed the order and added or subtracted some words. Things suddenly became more logical.

It also made Wang Shaoji's ulterior motives even more apparent.

Yu Wenye continued: "It's because of her meritorious service in escorting her that His Majesty rewarded her and pardoned Uncle Shen."

"..."

"It's just that if her son can be with her at that time, there are some things that don't need her to take risks."

During the words, there seemed to be some guilt.

Shang Ruyi's heart was originally tense, but at this moment, she subconsciously softened. She glanced at him subconsciously, but saw that Yu Wenye was also looking at her, and her eyes were soft. When they looked at each other, their bodies trembled at the same time. .

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a numb heart.

And Yu Wenye has already lightly lowered his eyelids.

Seeing this situation, Shang Ruyi secretly stretched out her hand and squeezed herself hard - she had to wake herself up.

Yu Wenye has always been like this, he is very sober and behaves like a husband should be in front of outsiders, but he has never been confused about who is the really important person to him.

And I shouldn't be confused because of his gentle mask!
Yu Wenyuan looked at his beautiful couple, and after a while, the gloom on his face disappeared, and he also showed a kind smile, and said: "So it is like this, no wonder Huang-Ruyi, it is you who have been wronged. Dad can't help you with your uncle's matter."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "How can Ruyi bear what father said."

After she finished speaking, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this level is over for the time being.

So he said again: "Father called Ruyi to come over, is this the reason?"

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand and signaled her to sit down, and Shang Ruyi sat beside Yu Wenye, and heard him say: "Father called you here to discuss with you, there are only two people serving in your room and Ye'er's, I heard That small one was bought not long ago, and I'm not very sensible, Dad thought, if you want to use it for yourself, you would be willing."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes lit up.

She could almost guess who Yu Wenyuan was going to give her.

In fact, even if Yu Wenyuan didn't speak up about this matter, she still had to find some time to ask her father-in-law. After Guan Yunmu's death, although there were not many people around her, how to deal with it was still a problem. The servants are either sent to various places in the garden, or they can be sent with some money, but some people arrange it, and it is not that simple.

So, she said with a smile: "Everything is under Dad's arrangement."

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand: "I can't arrange everything, you still choose the person yourself."

"select?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment.

Yu Wenye, who had been sitting silently by the side, also frowned slightly: "Dad said——"

Yu Wenyuan said: "One is Jin Yun who served your mother, and the other is the girl Chang Wan who also served your mother."

"..."

"The two of them have been in the mansion for a long time, and they both know the basics. One is old and prudent, and the other is young and smart. They are both people who need to be used. It depends on which one you choose."

This time, Shang Ruyi suddenly stopped talking.

In fact, it's okay for Yu Wenyuan to arrange this matter by himself, or it can be arranged between him and Yu Wenye, so why must he call himself over to choose someone.

And at this time, some words that Tusher had inadvertently said before began to echo in her ears——

"The one named Chang Wan has always been proud and arrogant. I heard that she has studied for a few years, and Madam doesn't let her do rough work..."

She suddenly understood what it was.

Seeing that Yu Wenye beside her frowned slightly, as if she was about to speak, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, if possible, Ruyi wants Chang Wan to stay."

"..."

"..."

The whole study was quiet for a while.

Shang Ruyi immediately felt that there was a fiery gaze staring at her closely, and at this moment she had no time to say anything more, so she just said softly: "Chang Wan was wronged in the matter of going over the kiln cup before, it's because Ruyi didn't take care of her." Seeing her and letting her stay is a kind of compensation."

Yu Wenyuan looked at her with flickering eyes for a while, and then said gently: "You have a kind heart."

"..."

"Forget it, that girl—it's just right, let's put it in your room."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi became more confident and understood that her choice was right, but she continued: "Ruyi has one more thing, and I want to ask my father to show me."

Yu Wenyuan said: "What's the matter, tell me."

Shang Ruyi said: "Aunt Yun——Ruyi is thinking about whether she can be in charge of the waiter."

"waiter?"

"Yes, two people were dealt with in the previous incident. The waiter was short of manpower, especially the one in charge was missing. These two days seem to be a bit chaotic. Aunt Yun is an old man in the house and is familiar with these rules. It’s much cheaper to transfer someone else.”

Yu Wenyuan looked at her for a while, and said, "You are thoughtful."

"..."

"It's fine, let her go to the waiter, so as not to walk in front, it's not good to bump into each other."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his heart moved.

I don't know if it's her illusion, Yu Wenyuan's words are simple, but it seems to contain something deeper, but his face is indifferent, as if he doesn't care at all, which made her a little dazed for a while.

But she knew in her heart that although her father-in-law had outstanding military exploits, he was by no means an ordinary martial artist.

So, with a soft smile, he said, "Thank you dad."

After she finished speaking, the matter was considered settled. At this moment, Yu Wenye's cold voice suddenly sounded beside her: "Father, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Shang Ruyi glanced back at him.

I don't know if it was because the sky was getting dark and the candles in the study room were not bright enough, but his complexion seemed a little dark.

Yu Wenyuan looked at him, his face darkened, and he waved his hands impatiently: "Go down, you have to think about what I just told you, it's less than three days away."

Yu Wenye didn't respond to these words, he just stood up and bowed to his father, then turned around and wanted to leave.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly followed him to salute, and was about to leave when Yu Wenyuan called her back again: "By the way, Ruyi, there is one more thing."

Shang Ruyi stopped in her tracks: "Father, what's the matter?"

Yu Wenye, who was walking in front, also stopped at the door.

I saw Yu Wenyuan asked: "Did you meet the empress when you went to Yanmen County this time?"

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

And when she was stunned, she seemed to feel the breathing of the people around her slow down.

I don't know why Yu Wenyuan asked this suddenly, but he still hastily replied: "Yes, this time Ruyi was injured, the empress came to visit me in person, and she took care of me very much."

"……Oh."

Yu Wenyuan nodded, looked at her thoughtfully, and then said: "When I went down to the court today, the maid next to the empress came to pass the word, saying that it was - the empress fell in love with you, and also cared about your illness. I have nothing to do in my spare time, go into the palace and talk to her."

"Ah? Your Majesty let me enter the palace?"

"Would you like to?"
