Noble First Daughter-in-law

The carriage was silent and it passed through the hustle and bustle of the market and returned to Yuwen Mansion.

Just when he was about to turn into the alley, he heard the noise of people ahead, and Tusheer, who was following outside the carriage, asked in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi immediately raised the curtain and looked forward.

Sure enough, there were crowds of people at the gate of Yuwen Mansion - although as the Prime Minister, Yu Wenyuan's Duke's Mansion was already full of guests, but the strange thing is that the gate of Yuwen Mansion today is closed tightly, just like Shen's mansion. The situation is somewhat similar.

Seeing this situation, the two looked at each other.

Yu Wenye immediately told the driver: "Turn around and go back through the side door."

The coachman didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly turned the car around, and walked along the alley to another road. The two people in the carriage became more silent when they heard the noisy voices being left behind.

After a while, Shang Ruyi gave a wry smile, seeming to be in his heart, but also seemed to be muttering: "Nowhere, I can't escape."

Yu Wenye did not speak.

He just lifted up another curtain and looked at the crowded crowd behind him, but this scene reminded him of the time when he met Yu just now—the time when he met the aunt whom Shang Ruyi talked about all the time. Not many times and not familiar with her, but the only two meetings let him see that this is a woman with an innocent personality. She may have suffered the hardships of life, but she has never suffered the hardships of love. And the son is well protected.

He and Guan Yunmu are two completely different people.

But just now, when he entered the backyard of the Shen family, he saw another look of Mrs. Shen. She was still amiable, but there was a familiar rigidity in her eyes, which is what people are forced to be strong when they go through hardships and setbacks. look.

After thinking for a while, he realized that it was the same as Shang Ruyi.

And after Mrs. Shen asked him to sit down, she said straight to the point: "Second son, although my husband made this decision by himself, who is he for and who can gain from this matter?" Li, I believe it's not only me, nor my pair of children, but you, the second son, should have understood it early on."

"……Yes."

"I know that there are some things that shouldn't be brought up on the table, especially the important matters related to the court, but right now, I don't care about the dignity. For me, no matter what, it's not as important as my husband coming back alive."

"..."

"So, Second Young Master, please take a word to Sheng Guogong for me—"

"..."

"Guogong Mansion, I must protect my husband's life!"

Her last words were spoken in such a low voice, thinking about it carefully, Yu Wenye didn't seem to hear her voice, but felt the weight of these words from the bottom of his heart.He understood that it was a woman's prayer with all her heart, no matter how the country was or what the world was like, there was only one person she wanted to protect in her heart.

It turns out that she and Guan Yunmu are the same person...

Thinking of this, Yu Wenye lowered the curtain, the light in the carriage dimmed, and he lowered his head again, looking at Shang Ruyi whose face seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, and even his eyes were even more gloomy.

What about her...?
Last time, in order to save Shen Shiyan and his wife who were exiled, she promised herself that she would never prevent her from meeting Princess Crescent again, and not only that, but also provide opportunities for them to meet in private.At that time, even if he hadn't figured out what he wanted, Yu Wenye was inexplicably enraged by her generosity.

However, he couldn't settle accounts with her either.

After all, at that time, I was the one who proposed to only be a superficial couple and rejected her, so whether it was my indifference or her "magnanimity", it was indeed not wrong.

But now?

How would she choose if she didn't answer her own question just now?

Is it the same as before, or——

Entering the mansion through the side door, although the mansion is different from the gloom of Shen's mansion, it is still shrouded in a dignified atmosphere, and the servants who were busy in the past were also dull in their work and did not dare to talk too much.

After walking for a while, they were almost at their room.

Yu Wenye suddenly said: "You still don't ask me?"

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi reacted quickly, but didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, Yu Wenye looked down into her clear eyes, and said: "You haven't asked me all this way, what did your aunt tell me just now?" .”

"..."

"Don't you want to ask?"

Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered, and she shook her head lightly: "I don't ask."

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "Why?"

Shang Ruyi lowered her head again, her clear eyes seemed to be in a haze, she said softly: "People only ask questions at two times, one of them is when they don't know the answer."

"..."

"But I already know the answer. So, I won't ask."

"Oh?" Yu Wenye looked down at her, and suddenly said: "Then what is the second one?"

"The second type..."

Shang Ruyi was about to speak when he saw Xue Daotong approaching from not far in front.As soon as he saw Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi, he hurriedly came forward to salute: "Second Young Master, Young Madam, you are finally back."

"Uncle Xue, what's the matter?"

"Second son, the Duke wants to see you. You should hurry over there."

"Oh."

Yu Wenye nodded, then turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi, and said, "Go back to your room to rest first. Let's talk about it later."

Shang Ruyi didn't seem to be surprised that Yu Wenyuan was going to see Yu Wenye as soon as she returned home. She obviously knew where they had gone and had been waiting for them to come home. This answer was even clearer than what her aunt had just told Yu Wenye. clear.

So he answered, turned around and went back to the room calmly.

Yu Wenye glanced at her back, and was about to go to the study, but Xue Daotong said again: "Second Young Master, the Duke is in the tea room."

"The tea room? Not in the study?"

"Yes."

Although the tea room is only a place for Yu Wenyuan to drink tea, everyone in the family understands Yu Wenyuan's habit. Whenever he has important matters to think about, he will not go to the study room where he discusses matters, but to the tea room instead.And once he entered the tea room, no one in the family, no matter what happened, could not disturb him.

So this time...

Hearing that he was in the tea room, Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to understand, so he turned and walked towards the tea room, he stopped after taking two steps, and said, "By the way, Uncle Xue, where is big brother?"

"The eldest son went out early in the morning."

"Is he on duty in the Ministry of War today?"

"It doesn't seem to be. However, the eldest son has been busy with things outside recently, and he comes back very late every day."

"Oh?"

Yu Wenye frowned again, but after looking at the sky, he didn't say much, and turned to go to the tea room.

This tea room is located in the southeast corner of Yuwen Mansion, where there is a small bamboo forest, deep and remote, servants and maids will hardly pass by here without the Duke's permission, so it is very quiet, when Yu Wenye pushed the door and walked in, Except for a gust of wind blowing towards the face wrapped in the fragrance of tea, and there was a sudden blowing in the ears, there was almost no sound.

Looking up again, I saw Yu Wenyuan sitting in the middle of the tea room.

He was picking up a cup of freshly brewed tea, instead of drinking it immediately, he put it to his nose and took a deep breath.The tea fragrance is light in nature, but at this moment it is extraordinarily fragrant, as strong as...human desire.

Yu Wenye walked over and said softly, "Father."

Yu Wenyuan didn't answer him immediately, but took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea filled his mouth. After swallowing, the fragrance of the tea changed from strong to weak, as if some emotions were calmed down in the faint fragrance of tea, and then slowly Opened his eyes: "I'm back."

"Yes."

"Have you seen the Shen family?"

"seen."

"Did they say something?"

Yu Wenye thought for a while, and said: "Aunt Shen only said that no matter what, the Duke's Mansion must save Shen Shibo's life."

"Then how did you answer?"

"Son, there is no answer."

"Oh why?"

"Because Aunt Shen wants the Duke's Mansion to make a promise, but her son can't replace the Duke's Mansion right now."

Yu Wenyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and a gleam flashed across his eyes.He raised his head and looked at his son who no longer needed to be under his wing, and could be alone no matter where he went, and said, "Then what do you think in your heart?"

Yu Wenye said: "My son thinks, no matter what, Shen Shibo's life must be saved."

"why?"

"Because if Shen Shibo dies thinking of this matter, the great cause that my father pursued will never see the light of day."

As soon as these words came out, the whole tea room immediately fell silent.Although it was quiet just now, that kind of quietness was only deep and secluded, but the quietness at this moment is a suffocating silence all the time.

Yu Wenyuan didn't raise his head, but when he looked down at the tea in the cup, his eyes were reflected in the slightly rippling tea soup, his eyes were pure and introverted, but there was an arrogance of holding a torch against the wind that he couldn't hide no matter how he tried, like A tiger that is dormant in the dense forest, ready to prey on it at any time even if it is surrounded by a cliff.

This is what Shang Ruyi has never seen before, what his father-in-law looks like.

It is also the appearance only when Longmen exterminates the rebels and builds a frightening Jingguan.

However, when he was gradually suspected by Chu Yang, his gaze, along with his ambition, gradually sank into the peaceful appearance, and only the humble, prudent Sheng Guogong appeared in front of everyone.

But appearances are appearances.

His real appearance cannot be oppressed by humility and prudence forever.

At this moment, when he heard the word "Daye" in Yu Wenye's mouth, his eyes flickered for a moment, but his breath became more calm. He slowly put down the teacup he had only taken a sip from, and said, "Then, do a good job." Are you ready?"

Yu Wenye said: "No."

"...?"

This surprised Yu Wenyuan, he looked up at his second son who had never been decisive: "Why?"

"..."

"Because Ruyi?"

"……Yes."

Yu Wenyuan's breath sank.But he wasn't surprised - after all, even if other thoughts couldn't see through, he knew the affection between children better than anyone else.

after all--

Yu Wenyuan sighed: "You..."

At the moment when his mood was vain for a moment, Yu Wenye said again: "Besides, my son still has a doubt that has not been resolved, so it is difficult to make a decision."

"Oh? What doubts do you have?"

"..."

Yu Wenye took a step forward, looked at his father firmly, and said, "After this incident, son, can you still not represent the Duke's Mansion?"
