Noble First Daughter-in-law

Shang Ruyi fell into doubt for a moment.

You must know that although Duke Shenwu is Yuwen’s uncle, and he left an Aunt Hui at Yuwen’s house, causing some disturbances from time to time, but he himself is very restrained. I haven't seen this person outside of the court's major events.

Especially now——Yu Wenyuan was one last step away from that position, even if he knew that they would be anxious and work hard, but this was reasonable and Dong Bizheng shouldn't have come to the door at this time.

Unexpectedly, he came to Yuwen's house at this time.

Moreover, it was Aunt Hui who sent someone to invite them.

Could it be that something happened to Yu Wenjian?And if you think about it this way, it must be a big event, a big event, that Dong Bizheng will be able to do it himself.

Did something happen to Yanzuofang?
Shang Ruyi thought about it and cared about it, and wished she could go over to find out more clearly, but she was still sober after all, and she also knew what the Duke's mansion was facing at the moment, what was the situation between her side and Yu Wenjian's side. Curious, and can't go to spy on other people's "household affairs".

So, she could only suppress her curiosity, and said, "Okay, I see, you should hurry back and do your work."

Tusheer originally told her that it was a big piece of news, but she didn't expect Shang Ruyi to act indifferently. She was also a little discouraged, so she could only pouted and sat down to continue sewing the veil. Looking at her dejected look, Chang Wan smiled until her eyes were bent.

After a while, the sun went down.

Shang Ruyi originally thought that Yu Wenzhen had already returned home, and Yu Wenye should be there soon, but he didn't expect that Yu Wenye hadn't been seen until now, and Tu She'er and the others had been doing needlework for a day, and their eyes were sore , let them go down to eat, and he ordered the kitchen to continue heating up the food, planning to wait for Yu Wenye to come back to eat together.

I made two more veils by myself, and raised my head again. It was already dark. Shang Ruyi twisted her sore neck, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and planned to go out for a walk, exercise her muscles and bones, and also stopped by the gate to see Yuwen. Is Ye back yet?

After leaving the courtyard gate, instead of going straight, she took a detour and walked out from the garden path.The Duke's Mansion used to light up lanterns everywhere at night, illuminating the entire mansion brightly, but now, except for the main entrance and the courtyard residences of several masters, all the lanterns have been removed from other places, and the Duke's Mansion looks much darker. , but Shang Ruyi also understands that this is Yu Wenyuan's deliberate action. After all, it is now the last step away from the imperial power, so he should act in a low-key manner.

Shang Ruyi walked through a dark path lined with green bamboos on both sides, the front door was the gate, brightly lit.

But just when she was about to walk out of the path, she suddenly saw two figures coming out of the mansion, and slowly walked to the gate. Under the light, they could see their faces clearly.

Shang Ruyi stopped immediately.

That is - Yu Wenjian, and Dong Bizheng!
Although as the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, it's not a strange thing for me to come here, and I should go up to ask my elder brother and relatives to greet her, but in the current situation, I think people don't care about her gifts.So, Shang Ruyi took two steps back, completely concealing herself in the thick shadow cast by the green bamboo, turned around and prepared to back away.

But as soon as he turned around, Dong Bizheng's low and somewhat gloomy voice came from behind——

"Cheng'er, you need to be more sober."

Sheng'er?

Shang Ruyi was greatly surprised, and subconsciously stopped—who is this strange name calling?
She turned her head and looked at Dong Bizheng who was standing at the gate, every subtle gloomy expression on his face reflected by the lantern above his head, and even every wrinkle hiding countless emotions was clearly visible, but he saw his gloomy complexion, But looking at Yu Wenzhen with infinite concern in his eyes; at this moment, Yu Wenzhen standing in front of him, his two-way calm blue-gray pupils trembled slightly, and also showed a look that seemed to be in pain.

After a moment of silence, he smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, I've stopped calling you by that name a long time ago."

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat sank.

Sheng'er... This is Yu Wenqian's previous name?

And Dong Bizheng's face became even more serious, looking at his nephew who was so peaceful as if he was not talking about his own name or his own affairs, he sighed and said: "Silly boy, back then—others said you were wrong. , do you really think that you are wrong?"

"..."

"Still using the wrong name?"

Yu Wenzhen was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, with a calm but calm mask-like smile on his handsome and flawless face, he said, "Uncle, as I said, I have given up that name a long time ago; I have long forgotten about the past.”

Dong Bizheng frowned slightly, his face darkened a bit.

After a long time, he sighed again, and said solemnly: "Well, if you don't mention it, uncle won't mention it either. Then you have to take to heart what uncle said to you today."

"..."

"Although I know it's too early to mention it now, it's not too early to say it."

"..."

"Your marriage, the one—"

"uncle."

This time, Yu Wenzhen directly interrupted his words, Dong Bizheng was slightly startled, but met Yu Wenzhen's calm and smiling eyes, and saw him solemnly say: "This matter is indeed a bit early. "

Dong Bizheng frowned all of a sudden, looked at his nephew fixedly, with a hint of anger and panic in his eyes, and said: "You, you really haven't let go yet?"

Although Yu Wenjian didn't interrupt him, and Dong Bizheng didn't dare to say it himself, he was afraid that if he said it, it would become a prophecy, but even if he didn't say it, the tone of his words could be heard It can be seen that his mood is very chaotic, even a little flustered.

On the other hand, Yu Wenjian still said calmly: "Uncle, it's getting late, father will be back soon."

"..."

"At this time, I believe he still hopes that his uncle can stay at home and take care of himself."

Hearing this, Dong Bizheng also knew that it was not good for him to stay any longer. Although in the past, Yu Wenye had received a lot of help from him in the court, but at this moment, the situation is different from the past. After taking that step, he can no longer rely on his status as a relative to do something out of line.

So, he could only sigh heavily, and then said, "Okay, I'll go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the gate as if angry.

Yu Wenzhen stood on the spot, looking outside, until the sound of the carriage outside the gate faded away, he seemed to sigh, and his broad but thin shoulders drooped slightly.

Then, he turned around and seemed to be going back.

However, he turned around, but only turned halfway, and stopped when he faced the bamboo forest path extending into the dark depths beside Xiangxiang.

Those clear, gentle eyes looked deep into the path.

At this time, Shang Ruyi, who was parked in the middle of the path, was almost suffocating!
Yu Wenjian, this is——

She subconsciously took a step back, then another step, and turned around to leave in a panic, but her feet were unspeakably heavy, and seeing that she was about to fall, the person behind her suddenly said: "Be careful not to fall!"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breathing was completely suffocated.

He saw it!

He already knew it!
At this moment, Shang Ruyi's footsteps were heavy, her body was stiff, and she didn't even know whether to turn her head or continue to leave, but when the battle between heaven and man was in her heart, the sound of steady footsteps behind her was approaching step by step.

Finally, it stopped behind her.

At this moment, all options were gone. Shang Ruyi could only take a deep breath, and slowly turned around. In the dark bamboo forest, only the light from the lantern not far from the gate reflected on their faces. In the morning, she saw Yu Wenzhen's expression was peaceful, and her clear eyes were even as gentle as usual, and she looked at her and said softly: "It's dark, when the brothers and sisters come out, they should be accompanied by others, order a Lanterns are."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was so ashamed that she could only lower her head and mutter, "Thank you for reminding me, brother."

In fact, she didn't intend to eavesdrop, and even wanted to avoid the other party when she saw him, but was startled by Dong Bizheng's "Sheng'er", and forgot to leave for a while.However, she did "overhear" it. From Yu Wenzhen's point of view, isn't she just a woman who listens to the wall and is cautious.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, raised her head to look at Yu Wenzhen, and said softly: "I, I actually—"

But Yu Wenzhen raised his head to look behind her, and then smiled softly: "My younger brother and sister don't seem to take this road very much, is it because the second younger brother hasn't come back yet, so you came here to wait for him?"

Shang Ruyi said lightly: "...Yes."

Yu Wenzhen nodded: "The situation in Changlefang is quite special, and I think the second brother will be busy for a while."

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn't care less about being ashamed, nor about the shock she just received, and immediately looked at Yu Wenzhen in surprise: "The situation is special?"

Yu Wenwen said: "Well, almost all the patients from outside the city taken in by Yanzuofang are people from several villages and towns near Daxing City. They are familiar with each other and help each other. However, Changle The people taken in at the square are more complicated, and there are a group of people who come from a little farther away."

"..."

"Later, there were rumors that the epidemic this time was brought by those people."

"..."

"These patients were already depressed. When they heard this, they started arguing with those foreigners. Someone from Changlefang made a move and injured a few. Although they were suppressed by the second brother's people, these people have already They began to form gangs, especially when distributing soup and medicine, and prevented these people from queuing up to prevent them from drinking medicine."

"..."

"Thinking about it, the second brother hasn't come home so late, so he should be dealing with these things."

"..."

"Brothers and sisters, you have to be more considerate."

At this time, Shang Ruyi's mind moved again.

While nodding, she said cautiously, as if inadvertently: "Then, Changlefang has started distributing soup and medicine, is Yanzuofang—?"
