Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 205 A Knife, a Person, and a Plant of Wheat
Back to Yuwen Mansion, it was getting late.

When Shang Ruyi got off the carriage, she was still a little cold and numb, she staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately, Tusheer and Woxue, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, rushed up to support her, Tusheer eagerly Asked: "Miss, you are finally back, are you okay?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her, shook his head without saying a word, and when he looked back, the driver had already driven away.

On the long street, there were only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels going away, and the cold wind mixed with crushed snow that hit her face head-on, which made her limbs cold and her thoughts stagnant.

Tushe'er sensed a strange aura, looked at Shang Ruyi again, and said, "Miss, why is your face so ugly?"

Shang Ruyi looked back at her again, and at Wo Xue again, pulled herself together and forced a smile: "I'm fine. Is there nothing wrong at home?"

"It's alright,"

Tusheer said: "It's just that you've been here for a whole day, miss. We're all worried to death, afraid—"

Having said this, she stopped again.

Shang Ruyi also knew that the last time he entered the palace caused everyone to be worried, this time, thinking that they had been worried all day, he tried to comfort them, and then led them into the gate together.

As soon as she reached the atrium, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked, "Where is the third brother?"

Wo Xue hurriedly said: "Third Young Master has come back from school and is in the room."

"When did you come back?"

"As usual, Shen Zheng will be back."

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I'll go and see him."

So, she went up the long corridor and walked to the east. Just beside the east courtyard where Guan Yunmu lived before was Yu Wencheng's residence.This courtyard is relatively small, the rooms are not big, and there are not many exquisite ornate furnishings inside. Because Sheng Guogong taught his children to be diligent and frugal, he did not let his children live a life of luxury and lust.

However, after Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye left Dongdu, Yu Wencheng immediately asked someone to put a high bed and soft pillows on him, and the heater in the room was doubled than usual. There were also several plates of snacks on the table, but they didn't move much, while Yu Wencheng was lying on the bed with one leg crossed, holding a dagger in his hand and fiddling with it.

Seeing this situation, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

As the second sister-in-law, and she has not been in the house for a long time, she has no way to strictly control Yuwen in life like her father-in-law, so she can only turn a blind eye to some of his actions, but this does not stand. She can't ignore standing or sitting.

So he said, "Third Brother, don't use a knife on the bed."

Yu Wencheng turned his head to see that it was her, pouted his lips, and said disdainfully: "Second sister-in-law, just leave it alone."

Shang Ruyi walked over, gently reached out to support him, and signaled that he must get up with a neither soft nor hard attitude, and said softly: "I am doing this for your own good, in case I hurt myself."

Yu Wencheng had no choice but to snort softly, retract the dagger into its sheath and throw it aside.

Shang Ruyi didn't pull him anymore.

Yu Wencheng put his hands behind his head, laying on the bed and said lazily: "Second sister-in-law, you have taken too much care these days, you check my homework and my books, when my father is around It didn't bother me that much."

Shang Ruyi said: "When Dad left, he specifically asked me to keep an eye on your schoolwork. Don't blame the second sister-in-law for being talkative. Studying more is good for you."

"What are the benefits of studying?"

"..."

"In this world, hard fists are the truth. No matter how many books you study, you are just a useless nerd."

The more Yu Wencheng talked, the more unhappy he became. He rolled her eyes and said, "When my elder brother is here, he won't control me like this."

"..."

As soon as he heard Yu Wenqian mentioned, Shang Ruyi immediately became short of breath.

Recently, whenever she wanted to restrain Yu Wencheng, the child mentioned his eldest brother in front of her, and when he mentioned it, Shang Ruyi was stabbed speechless.

After all, the awkward relationship between her and Yu Wenzhen, even if they don't meet each other, is an invisible knife pierced in her heart.

Hearing him say that again now, Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and said softly: "Third brother, not teaching civil war means abandoning it."

"..."

"It's for your own good that I let you study and have demands on you."

Yuwen gave her a slanted look: "Then you mean that my elder brother harmed me?"

"..."

This time, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.

She could only sigh and change the subject: "By the way, what did you do today?"

Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly, and immediately snorted coldly, saying: "Isn't it just going to study, what else can I do?"

"Didn't go anywhere else?"

"Where can I go?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly sat up again, and said to Shang Ruyi: "Second sister-in-law, I want to go out to fight with my second brother. He is at Xingluocang now, and he must be fighting with the rebels!"

"...!"

"My second brother has always been victorious in every battle, and this time he will be able to win a complete victory against Wang Gang's army."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.

Listening to the news from the Crane Tower, especially the last sentence Chu Yang left before leaving, has always made her feel terrified, and now she hears Yu Wencheng say "a hundred battles are victorious" and what is "a great victory". Victory," which made her tremble even more.

Yu Wencheng was still excited and said: "If I can go to the army to make contributions, then—"

Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "Third brother, you are not yet ready to make meritorious deeds."

Hearing this, Yu Wencheng was discouraged again, and immediately fell back on the bed coldly, and said lazily: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you these things. If you can't fight, don't fight. I'm going to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and stopped dealing with business Ruyi.

Seeing the child's arrogant and disrespectful appearance, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to sigh, and gently pulled down the quilt for him to prevent him from holding his breath. Seeing that he still closed his eyes and ignored him, he could only turn around and leave.

When she walked out of his room, she also said to the people serving outside: "You should follow the third son well every day, and don't let him run around."

The servant immediately said: "Yes."

Shang Ruyi then left.

As soon as she left, Yu Wencheng in the room immediately opened his eyes, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, showing a cold and cunning light that did not match his age, he sneered, and turned over , fell asleep.

Shang Ruyi quickly returned to his room.

Although she returned to her room, it was freezing outside again, but she never went to take a bath, nor changed her clothes. Instead, she sat at the table and stared blankly at the flickering candlelight on the table.

The tranced emotions in his eyes, reflecting the flickering candlelight, made him even more restless.

On the way back, her mind was entangled with various emotions, and she couldn't calm down until now. She was alone at this moment, and she finally had time to recall the information she received today, but this information made her terrified.

Lost all three battles...

No matter how calmly she argued in front of Chu Yang today, the result really shocked her.

Even if she didn't know about Yu Wenye's strength before, after the battle of Yanmen County, no one would doubt her anymore, even if his soldiers and horses were insufficient this time, even if Xingluocang was easy to defend and difficult to attack, or, There are more other reasons, but—he wouldn't be the result of today's battle!

Losing all three battles is really unacceptable!

Was his defeat really invincible, or was there another reason?
How will he fight the next battle?Will you lose again?
If he really loses again, then his future, the future of Yuwen Mansion—is there any future?
Chu Yang's intention to kill him is no longer a guess. It can even be said that the Yuwen Mansion is almost in danger of imminent disaster. This time, Yu Wenye was suddenly promoted to the general of the Fuguo and let him lead the army. Rather, it's more like a deliberate effort - raising and lowering the weight.

His departure is to be roasted on the fire!
And now, Chu Yang has obtained the result he wanted, if Yu Wenye loses again, only once——

The Yuwen family will be overthrown!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi only felt her heart beating intermittently, the feeling that made her chest vibrate, as if the sky was shaking, she even felt that the place she was sitting on was shaking, maybe the next moment, her foothold The land will be shattered, and she will fall into the abyss!
No, absolutely not!
Just as she was covering her chest with her hands, she couldn't help restraining the panic in her heart that almost dragged her soul into the abyss, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then, Tucher said eagerly at the door: " Miss!"

Her voice also seemed a little uneasy.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said, "Come in."

Tushe'er immediately opened the door and came in, and walked to her side with a nervous expression on her face. Shang Ruyi rarely saw her like this, and thought something happened in the mansion, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tuscher walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Just now, someone asked the concierge to deliver a letter to you."

"Letter? What letter?"

Tusheer hurriedly handed a letter in front of her. Shang Ruyi took it and looked at it. The letter looked ordinary, and there was not even any words on the envelope.

She frowned and said, "Who sent it?"

Tusheer said: "Your servant also asked, but the gatekeeper said that the person who came was unwilling to announce his name, and he was wearing a veiled hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly. I just want to remind you that this letter must be delivered in person. In the hands of the young lady of Yuwen Mansion, she was probably afraid of being delayed, so she gave the porter a large ingot of silver, which is worth five taels. The porter didn't dare to neglect, so he asked his servant to bring it."

"Oh?"

"Miss, take a look, don't worry about anything."

Shang Ruyi felt strange when he heard it, and hurriedly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from inside, opened it, and was shocked.

There was not a word on the letter paper, but a picture——

A knife, a person, a stalk of wheat.
