Noble First Daughter-in-law

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

When Yu Wenye returned to the brightly lit Qianqiu Palace, there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes. He saw Shang Ruyi sitting on the couch reading a book, but no one was waiting around him. On the contrary, in the row of rooms behind the hall, he could faintly hear some people Then he came over and asked, "What happened today?"

As he spoke, he took off his heavy coat. Shang Ruyi stood up to take it for him, but he pushed his hand away. He threw the clothes on the shelf, then turned around and pulled Shang Ruyi, who was still warm. She sat back on the couch with her hands, looked around again, and made sure that Tusheer, who usually followed her, was not there. She faintly felt something, and said: "When I just came back, I heard there was noisy over there in Jinyuyuan. Those who are shouting are the same here."

"..."

"What the hell happened?"

Shang Ruyi knew that she couldn't hide it from him, and besides, this matter had to be discussed with him, so she said softly: "I told you, you must never tell my father."

Yu Wenye frowned upon hearing this.

But he still nodded, so Shang Ruyi told him everything that happened today. The more Yu Wenye listened, the tighter his brows became. When Shang Ruyi finally said that both sides should investigate their own people, he His eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

He immediately said: "You——"

Before he could finish speaking, Shang Ruyi had already said, "Don't worry, I haven't eaten a bite."

"..."

"Not only did I not eat it, but I found it early and I didn't even get my hands on it."

Hearing this assurance, Yu Wenye breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger on his face immediately rose - he was born in the army, and he had a domineering spirit in his bones. This anger made his whole body even more There was an evil aura that seemed to be clearly visible, making Shang Ruyi's breathing somewhat suppressed.

Yu Wenye seemed to notice it himself. He frowned, relaxed his breath as much as possible, and then said to Shang Ruyi, "Have you found anything?"

Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "I wasn't the one guarding him. That thing only passed Chang Wan's hand when it was delivered, and I was the one who looked at it. It came to me. What can you find out?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "It's not her problem."

Shang Ruyi blinked.

Although she believed in Chu Ruoyan in her heart, there were some things that could not be explained clearly by just describing the mood and emotions of Ruoyan and Panqing. Listening to outsiders, they still needed some time to think, but Yu Wenye But it would be too arbitrary to conclude immediately.

So he said: "Do you believe her so much?"

Yu Wenye turned to look at her and was about to say something. Tu Sheer and Chang Wan had already returned to the main hall. When they saw Yu Wenye coming back, they immediately came forward to salute.

Yu Wenye asked: "How?"

Chang Wan said: "Back to Your Highness, the servants checked all the people and houses in the backyard, but they couldn't find any ashes of Five Elements Grass."

This result is really not unexpected. Shang Ruyi said calmly: "I understand."

After saying this, the hall became quiet.

Everyone knows that if it’s not their problem, it could only be the problem of where the thing came from. But just now Yu Wenye said that it couldn’t be Chu Ruoyan who did it, then——

At this time, although Yu Wenye's brows were still slightly frowned, his face was much calmer. He just thought about it and said: "Let's have dinner first. If there is no news from there after dinner, I will come in person." Go over and take a look.”

After Tu Sheer and Chang Wan heard this, they immediately went down to prepare the dishes.

Shang Ruyi hesitated and said: "You want to go there? You'd better not ask anything about this matter."

Yu Wenye looked at her: "Huh?"

Shang Ruyi said: "This matter is just a matter in the backyard."

The implication is that men should have nothing to do with it.

Yu Wenye frowned and said, "If it was just a conflict between the two of you, I wouldn't care about it, but someone is clearly trying to attack you. I have to ask."

As he spoke, he clenched his hands so hard that his finger bones crackled.

Shang Ruyi knew that Yu Wenye must be angry if someone dared to endanger him like this, but he hadn't found out the truth yet, so he suppressed it for the time being. But she hesitated for a moment and said softly: "But, I told Mrs. Chu to give her one night to check and give me the results tomorrow."

Yu Wenye shook his head and said, "You are too lenient. Do you have to wait until tomorrow for this kind of thing?"

"..."

"Although there are many people in her Jinyu Garden, the place is not big. Whether it is good or bad, I can give an explanation before the third watch."

Shang Ruyi blinked.

Just now, Yu Wenye directly said that it was not Chu Ruoyan's problem. He sounded very arbitrary in defending her. But now, he seemed to be sure that it was the problem over there, and he didn't even give her the time of the night. . Is he protecting Chu Ruoyan, or is he doubting her?

Although there were doubts in his heart, it was not such a trivial matter that needed to be clarified at this time, so Shang Ruyi did not ask any more questions. After a while, the people from Shangshi Bureau brought dinner, and the two of them sat down and started eating.

Although he was a little hungry after a hard day's work, Shang Ruyi was too preoccupied to eat much. Just after finishing eating, Tusheer walked in from the outside again. She was holding a tray in her hand, with a stew pot on it, and the lid was tightly closed. When I put it on hand, even before opening the lid, I could feel the smoky heat and sweet aroma emanating from the stew pot.

Shang Ruyi said: "This is -"

Tusheer glanced at Yu Wenye and said, "His Highness ordered the sweet soup to be made by Shangshi Bureau."

Shang Ruyi knew as soon as he heard this that he must be worried that he would not be able to eat much during the meal and would be hungry again at night, so he specially asked Shang Food Bureau to prepare these sweet soups, so he pursed his lips and looked at him with a smile. Yuwen, on the other hand, Ye said calmly with a straight face: "I'm afraid you'll be hungry at night and cause trouble. Besides, don't you just like some sour and sweet things lately?"

Shang Ruyi smiled so hard that his eyes rolled up: "Yeah."

Yu Wenye shook his head, and Shang Ruyi opened the lid and immediately smelled a sweet smell. He couldn't help but think of the pieces of hawthorn cake that Chu Ruoyan sent during the day, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Wenye said: "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi took the spoon offered by Tu Sheer and took a sip. The sweet soup was very moist and not particularly sweet. It tasted very refreshing. Thinking of the red hawthorn cake, it should be more sour and sweet. It's eloquent, so he said softly: "Actually, the hawthorn cake Mrs. Chu sent today looks very good, but it's a pity..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said, "This is her first time cooking for someone."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi also fell silent. In fact, from Panqing's words today, she understood Chu Ruoyan's thoughts to some extent. Just like what she said to herself when they first entered the palace, she accepted her fate and planned to get along well with herself, so she wanted to use This is an opportunity to get closer to myself.

It is rare for a princess who was once a golden girl to be able to do this.

Unfortunately--

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a pity that she has such thoughts."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment, but didn't say much. He just said, "You can drink some while it's hot. I'll go over to Jinyu Garden to have a look."

After saying that, he stood up and went to wash his hands. Upon seeing this, Chang Wan immediately brought hot water and towels.

Shang Ruyi did not have much appetite when she ate, but the sweet soup was sweet and warm, and had more flavor in her mouth. She drank several sips and felt that her whole body was moisturized and felt much better. Then she remembered something and turned to look at the picture. She'er: "By the way, why did you get this thing?"

Usually, the things prepared by the Shangshi Bureau are delivered by special palace staff, and Tusheer and the others just arrange them in the Qianqiu Palace. But just now, it was her own past.

Tusheer immediately said: "I don't trust others, so I'd better go and get it myself."

Apparently after what happened today, she became wary.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh: "You don't have to be so careful."

Tu Sheer disagreed and said in a low voice: "You can't be careful. If Master Su hadn't been here and the princess had actually eaten that thing today, what would have happened?"

With that said, she approached Shang Ruyi again and whispered: "When I passed by Jinyu Garden just now, I saw several people coming out and running around, as if they were looking for something."

"Oh?"

"I don't know what they will find and how they will explain it to the princess tomorrow."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

As Tusheer spoke, he sighed again and said, "Anyway, I don't trust outsiders now. Things in this palace are very weird."

"..."

"That ash today, I don't even know where it came from."

As she said that, she became more and more confused and worried, and muttered: "My servant told Chang Wan and Wuxue that it's okay, it's not like the sky is raining ashes. Besides, even if it's raining from the sky, it's not like it's raining from the sky." Is there a lid too? Why did it fall on the hawthorn cake?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's hand holding the spoon sank, and the spoon made a "ding" sound when it hit the mouth of the bowl.

Yu Wenye came back after washing his hands and was about to go out. Hearing these words, he immediately stopped and turned to look at Tu Sheer and then at Shang Ruyi.

The two people's eyes met, as if sparks flashed.

The next moment, Shang Ruyi suddenly said: "Sheer, go and get that box again."

"what?"

Tusheer was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and turned around to get it. As soon as he took a step, Yu Wenye said again: "Be careful when you get it, don't touch it."

Tu Sheer became more and more puzzled. She didn't know what they were thinking of, but she still hurried down.

But Yu Wenye did not leave. Instead, he walked back to the table and sat down. When the two of them looked at each other, their eyes became sharp and solemn.

After a while, the box was brought back.

After listening to Yu Wenye's words, Tu Sheer took it very carefully and didn't even make any sound when he put it down. When the thing came to his eyes, the two of them became quiet again, and Shang Ruyi said: "You do it, or me?"

Yu Wenye took a deep breath: "I'll do it."
