Noble First Daughter-in-law

Pushing the door open and entering the room, Shang Ruyi immediately saw three men sitting around the table, Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng were sitting on the left and right sides, while Pei Xingyuan was sitting directly opposite them.None of the three showed any expression, but there was a silent dullness in the room, which made people feel a little breathless.

Seeing her push the door in, Yu Wenye only nodded lightly, but Shen Wuzheng said softly: "Ruyi, you are back."

"Well, brother, Feng Chen."

Shang Ruyi nodded, closed the door behind her back, walked over and sat down.

At this time, she realized that something was wrong with Pei Xingyuan.

Although looking at the atmosphere in the room, it was obvious that Yu Wenye must have brought some bad news from the palace, so he called these two people to the house to discuss; When I was with Yu Mingyue who hadn't shown up yet, the atmosphere was not as depressing as it is now, not to mention Pei Xingyuan - under normal circumstances, even if the sky fell, he would smile and call himself to squat down.

But today, he was sitting there silently, with a complex expression on his face, he seemed happy but not happy, angry but not angry, his smiling eyes were slightly lowered, his eyes were dull, as if thousands of emotions had just passed away. It ran over him, leaving only a tired, broken body.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said: "What's wrong?"

"..."

No one answered her.

Shang Ruyi also seemed to know that she shouldn't ask, but she still couldn't help it, and turned her head to look at Yu Wenye again——

Today, Yu Wenyuan didn't call him into the palace to discuss with Turkic news. Why was there such an atmosphere when he came out to discuss with these two people?

What the hell happened?
Just when she wanted to ask, but it was difficult to ask, she suddenly heard a chuckle in the room.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with that."

It was Pei Xingyuan who spoke.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly raised her head to look at him, her eyes couldn't help becoming cautious, even Shen Wuzheng who was beside her frowned slightly, and said softly: "Xingyuan..."

Pei Xingyuan smiled, and then said to Shang Ruyi: "You also need to know. The letter from Princess Qiancheng told the Prime Minister that the Western Turks suddenly started to organize troops. It seems that they are going to send troops against someone."

"……Oh."

Shang Ruyi responded, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

Isn't this the result that anyone can guess after hearing the news of the letter from Princess Qiancheng?After all, it was impossible for Ashina Shali not to take revenge on Yu Wenye because of his vengeance.

This, where is it worth looking for them to discuss?

Where is it worth their emotions?
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and could only ask cautiously: "So, Ashina Shali is going to send troops against us, isn't it?"

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "Of course."

"..."

"Now in the Central Plains, the strongest army—except for Wang Shao and his brothers who are still on the way and haven't come back yet, and the hundreds of thousands of troops they brought with them, is us."

"..."

"No way, go and do it to Dongdu."

"..."

Mentioning Dongdu, Shang Ruyi's breathing subconsciously sank.

Dongdu, Liang Shide...

Of course, the Western Turks would not attack the Eastern Capital, because Liang Shide united the two forces of Wang Gangzhai and the Western Turks at the beginning. All.

It was also because of his soaring strength that even the father and daughter of the Zuo Yuwei General Lei Yi, who was sent by the court to suppress the rebellion—

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt his back go numb.

She subconsciously held her breath and looked up at Pei Xingyuan, only to see the other's eyelids drooping again.But at this time, Yu Wenye who was on the side had already opened his mouth heavily, and said, "There is one more thing mentioned in Princess Qiancheng's letter."

"what's up?"

"Western Turkic and Liang Shide are married. At least for now, Western Turkic will never do anything to Dongdu."

"The in-laws... good?"

Shang Ruyi's breathing became constricted, and she said softly, "Who is it, with whom?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly, his stern face showed hesitation and helplessness for the first time, and even Shen Wuzheng next to him sighed silently.

Then, I heard a laughing voice saying: "It's Lei Yu."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breathing was suddenly suffocated.

She raised her head, a little unbelievable, but maybe she already understood in her heart that it was only at this moment that the big rock hanging over her heart fell and hit her heart with a sharp pain. She took a deep breath and said something , but felt that his throat was stuck, and took another deep breath, but when he was about to speak, his eyes were already too hot to see the person in front of him.

I only felt that Pei Xingyuan was still smiling, but that smile seemed to hurt more than the sharp pain in her heart.

He repeated again: "It's Lei Yu."

"..."

"A few days ago, she married the little prince of the Western Turks, Ashnay Asu."

"..."

"Liang Shide and Western Turkic had a relationship in the past, but now with this layer of in-law relationship, the alliance is more stable. So, we are the ones who have to beware of Western Turkic this time..."

Listening to him, he seemed to be very serious and solemn, but there was a little bit of numbness in his voice when he said these words. For a moment, Shang Ruyi didn't know whether it was the news that shocked him the most, or an inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart. Deeper, she could only look at Pei Xingyuan quietly until his voice became lower and lower, as if his breath had weakened.

Yu Wenye said softly: "Xingyuan..."

He can speak so sharply that even a person like Yu Mingyue has nothing to say to him, but at certain times, it seems that a man's words really can't come out.

After hesitating for a while, his voice also lowered.

And Shen Wuzheng on the side remained silent all the time, just looked at Pei Xingyuan quietly, without saying a word.

Looking at them, then at Pei Xingyuan, Shang Ruyi didn't say anything, but when she heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, she got up and walked out, and when she opened the door, she saw Tusheer holding tea Come here, see her, immediately smiled and said: "Miss, you are back. Young Master, Young Master, and Young Master Pei come back together, and this servant will—"

Shang Ruyi glanced down at the refreshment in her hand, and said softly, "I'm going to change it."

"Eh? For what?"

"Get some wine instead. Ask the kitchen to prepare some side dishes."

"...?"

Tushe'er was stunned, but looking at Shang Ruyi's serious expression again, although she didn't understand why, she immediately said: "Your servant understands, I will go now."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

After a while, the food and wine were brought up.

Yu Wenye almost never drank during the day, but this time, he made an exception to accompany him. Even Shen Wuzheng, who had never touched alcohol, drank a few glasses. After his eye circles and nose turned slightly red, he looked at Pei Xingyuan drinking one cup at a time. No longer drinking, just quietly serving him food and wine.

This drink lasted until the afternoon.

Shen Wuzheng was drunk, but he kept pulling Yu Wenye to talk drunk, muttering something "blessings will not be enjoyed", Pei Xingyuan got into the carriage, Yu Wenye stood under the carriage, and asked softly: "Really not to stay? The guest room is prepared."

Shen Wuzheng looked down, and said lightly: "I'd better take him home."

After speaking, he glanced at Shang Ruyi again, and said softly, "Little sister, take a good rest."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

The carriage left the Duke's Mansion very quickly. Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi stood at the door, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the long street. Looking back, the sun also began to slant. The golden sunlight made him drink a lot of wine The two of them were slightly dizzy, Yu Wenye sighed and said, "Go back."

"Ah."

So, the two went back to the room.

Because of the smell of alcohol on their bodies, the two of them went to take a bath one after another. When Yu Wenye returned to the room after changing into casual clothes, he saw Shang Ruyi sitting in front of the dressing table with her wet hair on. Although she was facing the mirror, she forgot. After combing his hair, he just looked down at the wooden comb in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Wenye walked over and took the wooden comb from her hand.

"Ugh?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, then came back to her senses, looked up and met Yu Wenye's eyes that seemed to be brought out of the bathroom with a bit of mist, showing a bit of gentleness at this moment, and immediately smiled: "You scared me!" Jump."

Yu Wenye looked down at her: "What are you thinking, so preoccupied?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but lowered her head again, the water dripping from her hair soaked her clothes, Yu Wenye sighed, and said, "This will give me a headache."

As he spoke, he helped her shoulders to make her sit upright, and he gently combed her long hair.

Speaking of it, it's not that he hasn't been gentle before. Most of the time, he is much gentler to himself than others know or see, but at this moment, Shang Ruyi suddenly understands that the relationship between them Tenderness, it turns out that it is not so natural.

Destiny is like an endless river full of various rapids and torrents. No one knows what a person who is like a floating weed will encounter in the next moment, and life will be completely different.

Feeling his big hand caressing her long hair lightly, the gentle care made Shang Ruyi's heart a little bit more bitter.

She finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, you all know?"

"..."

Yu Wenye's hand didn't stop, but because he was too close, Shang Ruyi could clearly feel that his breathing stopped.

But it was only for a moment, and the next moment, he let out a calm "hmm".

She didn't say it clearly, but Yu Wenye seemed to really know what she was asking——

Pei Xingyuan, to Lei Yu...

Shang Ruyi thought for a while: "My brother, you also know?"

Yu Wenye said: "He has been away from home for too long, he doesn't have much contact with us, and he is not familiar with Lei Yu. But——your brother is a smart person, there are many things, even if he doesn't see them with his own eyes, he may not be able to say a few words. I can tell."

"That--"

Yu Wenye sighed softly, and said, "The only thing in our group who doesn't know is probably Xingyuan himself."

As he spoke, he smiled wryly again.

"Now, he knows."

"..."

"But it's too late."
