Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 379 Who is waiting for her?

Early the next morning, they set off from Tongguan to Daxing City.

Chu Zhengfei prepared carriages and new horses for them according to his words, and after passing through Tongguan, there was no need to worry about Liang Shide or others attacking them, so they also took the wide and flat official road, which was unimpeded. The process is much faster than before.

Even so, Ke Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage and didn't feel too relieved.

Even when she turned her head, she would see Yu Wenye who was sitting beside her with a solemn expression, frowning and thinking.

She said softly, "Are you worried?"

"..."

Hearing her voice, Yu Wenye was in a daze for a moment before looking up at her, because the two of them were too close, his dark eyes seemed to reflect Shang Ruyi's worried expression.

He said, "Aren't you too?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it again, he smiled wryly.

That's right, after what happened two days ago, and hearing about the situation in Daxing City from Chu Zhengfei, who in this team has nothing on their minds?Even Shantonger——Shang Ruyi turned his head away again, raised a corner of the curtain to look out, and saw the child riding on a horse, with a dull back—heard that there was going to be a Dharma meeting in Dayan Temple, they He quickened his pace just to rush back to participate, and he also showed a somewhat strange expression. He no longer joked with others while riding on horseback, but was bored instead.

After all, he was ordained in Dayan Temple.

After that, he served as a substitute for King Zhao in the Daxing Palace, and became a monk to keep the precepts; now he has been traveling among the people for several months, and he is going back to that place again.

It's like going in a circle.

Even this child is like this, let alone adults like them.

Looking away from Shan Tong'er's back, Shang Ruyi slowly put down the hand that lifted the curtain, and looked back at Yu Wenye—in fact, she understood better that Yu Wenye's silence and worries should not only come from these days Experience and what will happen, and more importantly, they will return to Daxing City.

In Daxing City, there are not only his father and elder brother, and there are not only new emperors in Daxing Palace.

And that person...

Shang Ruyi felt that it was difficult to breathe, but she didn't say much, she just turned her face to the window again to make herself feel better.

And Yu Wenye, who was sitting next to her, just silently looked at her with her back turned to him at this moment.

The silence in the carriage was as usual.

In such a somewhat dull atmosphere, the group of them quickened their pace, speeding past the official road, raising waves of smoke and dust along the way, and finally entered Daxing City at dusk that day!

Although it was a boring day, when they passed through the city gate, everyone was refreshed.

Shan Tonger looked around at the unfamiliar pavilions, towers and pavilions, as well as the cars, horses, and pedestrians passing through the streets, as if he had a dream. When he woke up, he found that the dream and the reality completely overlapped, and he couldn't recover. De murmured: "It's back again."

These words also fluttered into Shang Ruyi's ears.

She couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Yeah, it's back again.

Compared with so many places she has passed through these years, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Jiangdu... Daxing City seems to her to be just a vague shadow in her childhood memory, but this time, it seems that all her memories have become vivid up.

She is back again.

Some of the surrounding pavilions have changed or not, but the smell of dust in the air, the noisy voices of pedestrians, and even the overheated temperature when the wind blows across the cheeks seem to be all familiar and unchanged.

But is she still that Shang Ruyi?
Just when she was in a daze, Yu Wenye's voice sounded in her ear again: "What are you thinking?"

Shang Ruyi turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes.

Yu Wenye looked at her, seeming to be smiling, and the setting sun slanted on his face, and the orange light added a bit of tenderness to his originally indifferent eyes.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then turned her head to look at the scenery outside, and said, "I was wondering why I came back here again."

"..."

"I always thought I might never come back."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, and said: "The world is impermanent."

"..."

"A lot of people and things you think may be different from what you think."

"..."

This sentence was not too unusual at first, but for some reason, Shang Ruyi faintly felt that his tone was deeper than usual, as if he was not only talking about worldly affairs, but that person and event also seemed to be specific.

She subconsciously looked back at him.

Yu Wenye, on the other hand, smiled faintly at her.

The carriage traveled for half an hour under the setting sun, and finally arrived at the Duke's Mansion when the sun was setting.

It is also today, the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Before the carriage stopped, he heard chaotic footsteps outside and some uncontrollable excited voices. Yu Wenye got out of the carriage first, then turned around and took Shang Ruyi's hand to help her out of the carriage.

As soon as Shang Ruyi stood still, she was suddenly hugged into his arms by a person who rushed up.

"As one wishes!"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi trembled all over.

Hearing the familiar voice and sobbing, feeling the familiar arms and the familiar embrace, she was a little stiff and weak at the same time, and she was held in that person's arms in a daze until she felt the tightness on her cheeks. There was a wet feeling of tears on the skin, and she slowly squeezed out two trembling words from her throat——

"aunt……"

The person holding her was none other than her aunt, Mrs. Shen Yu!
As an elder, she couldn't come to the door to welcome the younger generation, but she still ignored the etiquette and the eyes of the people around her. When she saw the thin figure of her niece, she couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged her in her arms. At this moment, listening to Hearing Shang Ruyi's voice, she cried even more.

"My wish..."

"aunt!"

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt that he had just come back to life at this moment, and hugged her.

The two of them cried together at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Yu Wenye stood beside him, unable to say anything for a while, but finally Shen Wuzheng stepped forward and gently pulled the two of them apart. Yu was still crying. With tears all over her face, she looked at her niece and at her son again, and said excitedly: "You two have come back well, that's good, that's good."

"aunt,"

Shang Ruyi choked with sobs, and it took him a long time to force himself into a sentence: "These days, you—"

Before she could say the word "suffering", Yu immediately said with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

"..."

"It's just that after I came back, I heard that you were suffering outside - I couldn't sleep. Now that I see you coming back, I'm fine, everything is fine."

It was obvious that she was exiled with her husband, and went through hardships all the way, but now, instead, she said that Shang Ruyi was suffering outside.

This is the mood of those who truly love others.

She was crying and laughing at the same time, and completely disregarding her identity, she held on to Shang Ruyi's hand and did not let go.It wasn't until this time that Yu Wenye stepped forward and saluted her: "Auntie."

Seeing him, Yu Shi also showed a gratified expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle."

Yu Wenye said: "Seeing that my aunt is safe, I am also relieved."

"I'm all right, all right,"

While talking, Mrs. Yu looked at the three of them, together with Tusheer, who was standing aside and looked at her with red eyes, as if she was overjoyed to see her mother whose children who were far away from home returned to her. , and even said incoherently: "Seeing that you are all well, I will be all right."

Although her words were somewhat upside-down, everyone could still feel her true emotion and happiness.

In this world, what is more moving than true emotion?

Therefore, even Yu Wenye showed a touch of emotion in his eyes.

And at this moment, an equally joyful, yet slightly cool voice came——

"Seeing the return of the Second Young Master, Young Madam, and Young Master Shen, Mrs. Shen is very happy. But it's hot outside, and the summer heat hasn't dissipated yet. Let's go into the mansion. The Duke and Master Shen are waiting inside."

Upon hearing this voice, Shang Ruyi was filled with joy and excitement like a boiling soup pot, and gradually cooled down a little at this time.

She raised her head and saw a familiar figure over Yu Shi's shoulder.

She was familiar with her, with a flawless and safe smile.

Aunt Hui.

She led a group of servants to stand at the door, apparently to greet them, at this moment she slowly walked down the steps, saluted them, and said: "Second Young Master, Young Madam, you are finally back. "

Seeing her, Yu Wenye's eyes flickered, and the smile on his face seemed to have changed.

However, still smiling, he said, "Aunt Hui."

Aunt Hui said with a smile: "These days, the family waits day and night, hoping that the second son and young lady will come back sooner. Today, I finally came back, and the old man is also happy."

The violent heartbeat in Shang Ruyi's heart also slowly subsided at this moment.

She still held Yu Shi's warm hand, but when facing Aunt Hui, she also regained her usual calmness and calmness, and said, "I made you worry."

"where."

Aunt Hui raised her hand and said, "Let's go into the mansion."

Yu Wenye nodded, looked down at Shang Ruyi, and Shang Ruyi agreed, without saying anything, the group of people walked in.

The Duke’s Mansion in Daxing City is the largest of the Yuwen family’s industries. After all, it was the mansion bestowed by Emperor Wen when he was alive. After becoming the prime minister, this unusual mansion was filled with an invisible sense of oppression.

As soon as I walked in, I felt an unusual atmosphere.

At this time, the sky also darkened.

Around the mansion, people have started to light lanterns, hanging under the eaves everywhere, the light from far and near makes Shang Ruyi's heart bright and dark for a while.

Then, the heartbeat accelerated.

In the bright depths of the mansion, who is waiting for her?
