Noble First Daughter-in-law

Yu Wenyuan frowned.

Shang Ruyi immediately turned her head, as if she wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she stopped again, and only looked at him quietly.

That glance was extraordinarily calm, and it was so clean that there was no trace of impurity in it. Although Yu Wenye's eyes were stern, the moment he met her gaze, his breath still froze a bit.

Then, Shang Ruyi said softly to him, "It's not what you think."

"...!"

Yu Wenye took a deep breath.

He seemed to understand something, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, his lips were slightly parted along the way, thinking about what to say, but he pondered for a moment, but then stopped.

Yu Wenyuan looked at the two of them, and then said: "You go back first. I still have some things to say to Ruyi as a father."

Yu Wenye also looked up at him, didn't say much, just saluted, then turned and left.

Shang Ruyi had been watching his back disappear into the dim night outside the door, and then slowly turned around, and saw Yu Wenyuan slowly stood up and walked in front of her, looked at her with deeper eyes than ever before, and then said: "I always thought that my sons would be worthy of great responsibility."

"..."

"Now it seems that their xinxing combined is not as good as yours."

"..."

"Ruyi, I am very satisfied with you as a father."

"..."

"I'm guilty too."

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Father, don't say that."

She is very aware of the personality of a person like Yu Wenyuan. He may really feel guilty about his daughter-in-law, but he can say that he cannot claim it; once he, a junior, claims the guilt of his elders, it is equivalent to taking a handle to control the other party.

Which elder would be happy for this to happen?
What's more, in the future, Yu Wenyuan will stand on the pinnacle of power that overwhelms the world. This kind of human nature cannot allow himself to feel emotionally guilty towards others.

Once there is, he can't get rid of the guilt, and he will get rid of the guilty partner.

Shang Ruyi sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said clearly: "Ruyi lost her father since she was a child. Although she has uncle and aunt to take care of her, she is obtuse by nature and can't handle any responsibility. Father doesn't dislike Ruyi, let alone Ruyi's capriciousness in marriage. Ruyi is very grateful to father."

"..."

"So this—"

There was a thought in her mind, and she immediately withdrew the word "grievance", wiped it with a chuckle, and said, "It's nothing."

Yu Wenyuan is so shrewd, how could she not hear it, she swallowed that "grievance".

In addition to being satisfied with this daughter-in-law, he also appreciated it a little more. At this moment, he couldn't help thinking about a question seriously——

He has indeed longed for and planned for that position at the pinnacle of power for a long time, even earlier than the people around him knew, and now he is almost one step away from that position, and he will definitely not back down, no matter what price he pays, he must take another step forward.

But, the price is that this daughter-in-law...

He even had a little hesitation.

Although it is said that there is no need for a man to have a wife, but some people—he understands that they are hard to come by.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's intelligent and decent appearance, Yu Wenyuan pondered for a while, finally sighed, and said: "Although I said that, my father still feels that my son—my two sons are not good enough for you."

These words surprised Shang Ruyi.

She didn't dare to answer these words again, but Yu Wenyuan himself felt that these words were too explicit, so he laughed a few times in embarrassment, turned around, walked back and sat down, and then waved to Shang Ruyi: "You sit too."

Shang Ruyi pleaded guilty and sat on the other side.

At this moment, the atmosphere of conversation was restored, Yu Wenyuan let out a long sigh, and said: "Although Father is a little disappointed in Ye'er, he said one sentence very well - I have the best daughter-in-law, even though I knew long ago that my old friend's daughter must be of extraordinary character, I never thought of this."

"father……"

"You can be assured."

"..."

"No matter what the situation will be tomorrow or what the result will be in the future, father will not let you be wronged."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered.

But she didn't thank Dade right away, but after a moment of silence, she said softly: "Father, in fact, Fengchen didn't say a word right just now—he is not, not your good son."

Yu Wenyuan's deep eyes sank slightly.

After a while, he said, "Yes."

After being silent for a while, he sighed again: "You are right."

Shang Ruyi just smiled.

Yu Wenyuan looked up at her again, and said, "However, Ruyi, are you really pinning your hopes on that prophecy and that 'disaster' this time?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, but didn't answer, just said softly: "Father, Ruyi has something to ask."

"Oh? You said."

"Tomorrow, no matter what the result is, I hope Dad will not interfere."

"..."

"Please leave this matter to me."

"solve?"

These two words immediately caught Yu Wenyuan's attention - he was different from the two emperors and eldest princesses in the Hall of Liangyi who had not experienced much in the world. He knew very well that almost every word of Shang Ruyi's words was digging a hole for these two people.

It seems that disaster is used as a temptation, but there is a deep meaning behind it.

But what he didn't expect was that Shang Ruyi actually had other thoughts about this "disaster". Those bright and introverted pupils looked deeply at his daughter-in-law, and said thoughtfully, "Do you really think that there will be a disaster?"

"..."

"Are you going to solve the disaster?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

Yu Wenyuan frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you so sure?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him, hesitated a few times, but finally said nothing, just said softly: "Father, there are some things that Ruyi can't explain to you clearly—at least not yet. Since Dad praised Ruyi like that just now, please give Ruyi the same trust."

"..."

"Please leave this matter to Ruyi."

"..."

This time, Yu Wenyuan's eyes deepened a bit.

If it was an ordinary family matter, such as Shang Ruyi's decision to regret her marriage and remarry at the beginning; or, a bigger one, such as her insistence on accompanying Yu Wenye to go to Fufeng before, he would have agreed without hesitation, but this matter is different, it is not a family matter, not a war matter.

It is a matter of great importance to the country, the country, the people, and the common people.

No one can easily agree to such a thing, especially in his position, as if carrying the mission of the family, and carrying the fate of countless people walking the tightrope on the cliff, a slight mistake, even an untimely sigh, is enough to make him fall into the abyss.

but--

He looked at Shang Ruyi, since this daughter-in-law married into Yuwen's family, she might not be like the daughters of other aristocratic families. Even, the princess in the palace who fell in love with Yuwen Ye since childhood could bring him real benefits, but he never regretted choosing this daughter-in-law from a declining family for his second son.Her wisdom and firmness, not fighting or grabbing but soft and strong, not only benefited the whole family, but also surprised him.

He can almost rest assured of any actions and choices of this daughter-in-law.

so now--

Yu Wenyuan was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his head to look at Shang Ruyi, and said solemnly: "Father can promise you."

Shang Ruyi immediately said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go back, you must be tired after running so many places today. There is another one tomorrow morning...you need to go all out."

"Ruyi understands, Ruyi will leave."

After finishing speaking, Shang Ruyi stood up, saluted, and hurriedly left the study.

As soon as she left, Yu Wenyuan let out a long and feigned sigh, as if he felt that his decision just now was a bit hasty, and that such a big matter was entrusted to such a young daughter, which was a little too big.

but--

He was thinking deeply, when he saw Xue Daotong standing outside the door, he immediately asked, "Has Jian'er come back?"

Hearing this, Xue Daotong immediately walked in a few steps, bowed his head and said, "Duke Hui, the prince hasn't come back yet."

"Not back yet?"

Yu Wenyuan frowned, and said solemnly: "Everything at home has come to this point, why has he been away from home these few days?"

Xue Daotong laughed and said: "I think, the son has not been serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, and he must be busy with official duties."

Yu Wenyuan sighed softly, only waved his hand, and Xue Daotong backed away.

The night in Yuwen Mansion became a little darker.

After leaving the study, Shang Ruyi didn't go back to the room immediately, but went to take a bath first. After all, she went to the dungeon today, and after explaining some things to Tusheer, she returned to the room with a moist breath.

There was only a dimly lit candlestick by the bed left in the room, and Yu Wenye had already gone to bed to rest.

As soon as I got closer, I saw him lying on his side on the bed, facing inward, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Breathing heavily.

Shang Ruyi looked at him for a while, then went to bed without saying a word, lay down beside him, thought for a while, then turned sideways and moved a little towards him.

After a while, it moved some more.

The room was so quiet that the only sound left was the breathing of the two of them.

Therefore, she could clearly hear, besides her careful breathing, there was also the sober and heavy breathing that was separated by a layer of thin clothes.

Shang Ruyi immediately understood.

But the person next to the pillow has been lying on his side all the time, unable to see his expression at all, let alone know his mood at the moment - although Shang Ruyi can still guess a little bit, but she clearly knows that although she has been to so many places and met so many people today, the most sad hurdle has always been here.

So, she gently lowered her head and rested her forehead on his thick back.

Then softly said: "Fengchen."

With just these two words, she immediately and clearly heard the heart in that chest beating heavily at this moment, and even Shang Ruyi's heartbeat also became disordered for a moment.

She immediately took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her mind.

But the person in front of him seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Say it."

Before Shang Ruyi had time to react, he said again: "You said it's not what I thought, what is that?"

"..."

"You made me believe you, you said, the final choice is mine."

"..."

"But, what's on your mind?"

His voice was actually quite calm, but it was a suppressed calm. Shang Ruyi clearly felt that his speech was much faster than usual, and listening to his heartbeat while leaning against his back was like beating a drum.

At this moment, his mood may not be calmer than when he beat the drums to help him in the battle and confronted Xue Xian.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then said softly, "What I thought was actually very simple."

"..."

"It's your future and mine."

"...!"

Sensing Yu Wenye's body trembling, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I know, dad will definitely succeed."

"..."

"Then why can't he succeed because of us?"

"..."

"Before you went to Wanggangzhai, you said that you need that credit—but now it seems that these credits may not be enough, and you need even greater credit."

"..."

"This time, maybe it's our chance."

"..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, and said in a strange tone: "It must be successful?"

He said the word "certainly" very emphatically—although looking at the situation in front of him, everyone knew that Yu Wenyuan was only one step away from the throne of the Ninth Five Lord, but throughout the ages, how many people stopped at this last step, and how many people fell on that step.

Who can say "definitely" with such certainty?
Moreover, it is one thing to make meritorious deeds, but it is another thing to be the price of being "betrayed".

He is very clear that he has only brother and sister feelings for Chu Ruoyan, and no love between men and women; now, if he wants to marry a woman who has only been regarded as a younger sister since childhood, and there is no dangerous relationship that Chu Yang is wary of and wins over them, he is indeed unwilling, but it is not impossible;

Yu Wenye gritted his teeth, and said with a sneer, "What, do you know the future?"

"..."

The room fell silent.

Although his words were intended to silence Shang Ruyi's mouth, but the ensuing silence did not seem to be that Shang Ruyi was silenced by his question.

On the contrary, it seems that there are thousands of words in the silence, surging in the soft body that is close to him.

Yu Wenye seemed to sense something, turned around slowly, and looked down at Shang Ruyi.

The light in the room was still dim, but he could clearly see that the little girl had a dignified expression, her forehead was still pressed against his chest, as if she was really thinking about how to answer this question.

In other words, her answer is not something that almost everyone can be sure of—no.

Yu Wenye frowned and looked down at her: "What?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Fengchen, do you still remember the story we heard from Jiang Yu back then?"

"Jiang Yu? Who is it?"

"Oh, that's the old man who tells stories to children on the mountainside of Banyan Temple. I met him last time at the Dayan Temple Dharma Conference. He said his name is Jiang Yu."

"..."

Yu Wenye frowned, at this moment, why mention a stranger properly?
But the next moment, his breathing tightened.

Because he remembered, the story Jiang Yu told was——

Resurrect the dead? !
Yu Wenye took a deep breath, staring at the person in his arms with a pair of bright eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
