Noble First Daughter-in-law

Hearing what Yu Wenyuan said, a look of confusion appeared on Yu Wenzhen's face, as if all the things that had happened in the past few years suddenly appeared in his mind at this moment, leaving him at a loss for a moment. .

After a long moment of silence with blank eyes, he said softly: "Because...uncle."

Yu Wenyuan frowned: "Mr. Shenwu?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Uncle, just like my father, he has been urging me to get married, have children, and start a career as soon as possible over the years, but I have been pushing him away."

Having said this, he slowly raised his head, and the lights in the hall were reflected in those almost transparent eyes. Such eyes could not hide any emotions, and at this moment, they could not hide anything.

Because in those transparent eyes, there was only endless coldness and indifference.

He said: "In the past, I made a mistake on my own."

Yu Wenyuan's brows wrinkled.

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was a little heavier than before, and she subconsciously squeezed Yu Wenye's hand with her backhand.

Yu Wenzhen continued: "Just now, I recalled my uncle's voice and smile in the mourning hall, and also recalled his persuasion and painstaking efforts over the years. Probably until his death, my uncle regretted this. Thinking of this, my son I regret deeply."

"..."

"My son, I think of my father even more,"

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wenyuan, and said solemnly: "I finally understand the principle that my son wants to support me but refuses to be loved by me, and I don't want to make my father any more difficult or sad. So. , I beg my father to grant me a marriage. Firstly, my uncle is not far away, so I should be able to understand my arrangement, so I can rest assured. Secondly, as the prince of the great dynasty, I can get married as soon as possible. Let father feel at ease."

After hearing these words, Yu Wenyuan's frown did not loosen, but he nodded slightly: "It's naturally good if you can think like this."

But he still looked at Yuwen Sui with a solemn expression: "But Duke Shenwu just passed away."

"..."

"You asked yourself to pay homage to him, because he is your uncle, and because you two uncles and nephews have always had a deep relationship, so I agreed to you. But at this time, it is inappropriate for you to ask me to grant you a marriage."

Yuwen said in surprise: "My son, I understand."

"..."

"But I also said that I did this to make my uncle feel at ease when he leaves. It doesn't matter what other people think or think."

"..."

"I believe that my uncle's heroic spirit is not far away, and he can understand my son's feelings better."

Having said that, there is indeed no reason to refuse his request.

It was Yu Wenyuan's heartache that his eldest son left home to practice cultivation, but he was reluctant to return due to some special reasons. Later, the marriage planned for him was disrupted because Shang Ruyi regretted the marriage and remarried; now, Yu Wenye has already They were about to have a baby, but as the elder brother, he had not even decided on a marriage, which often kept Yu Wenyuan awake at night.

Therefore, for him to take the initiative to bring up his marriage was something Yu Wenyuan had dreamed of in the past.

but--

Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath, stared at Yu Wenzhen with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Do you really want to marry Yu Mingyue?"

Yu Wenzai also took a deep breath, but compared to Yu Wenyuan's determination, no matter how great the grief was, no matter how long he got his wish, he still had to ask for an answer amid hesitation. It was more like being overwhelmed by the weight of hesitation, confusion, grief, and pain, and finally letting go of something. There seemed to be a sense of suffocation in the short silence.

He said: "Yes."

"..."

Yu Wenyuan fell silent.

The entire Liangyi Hall was also silent.

The only person who felt comfortable was Yu Wencheng, who was sitting next to Yu Wensu. He opened his eyes wide, looked at his brother next to him, and then at his father who looked solemn. He frowned in understanding, but when he met the complicated eyes of his second brother Yu Wenye opposite him, he became cold again. His face seemed to be a little impatient, just waiting for his father to make the final decision.

For him, who the two brothers married or divorced had nothing to do with him. All he cared about was who made him happy and who made him unhappy.

Now, what makes him unhappy is his second brother Yu Wenye and his second sister-in-law Shang Ruyi.

These two people never made things easy for him from the beginning. Ever since he was young, Yu Wenye had treated him very harshly, and even the slightest mistake would be punished and beaten by him. And this second sister-in-law made Yuwen Cheng even more jealous. She didn't like her, even though she married into Yuwen's family in such an unbearable way, she still pretended to be "a second sister-in-law like a mother" to discipline herself. Fortunately, Yuwen Cheng also found a way to deal with her, but now it's in the way. Her big belly makes it impossible for her to take action. As for the deceased Duke Shenwu, Yuwen Cheng actually had no feelings for him, but because of their relationship with the prince, the two of them had some contact. He would not shed tears when he died, but his death would cause some bloody storms. , but it is what he likes to see.

After all, only when there is wind and rain can there be turmoil, and only when there is turmoil can people benefit.

Thinking of this, Yu Wencheng laughed deliberately and said: "Father, haven't you been worried about the emperor's marriage? Now that the emperor wants to marry the eldest lady of the Yu family, this is also a good thing. Why can't father be like this? ——Like Chengquan’s second brother and second sister-in-law, what about Chengquan, the emperor’s brother?”

"...!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into a suffocating dullness.

Yu Wenyuan's eyebrows were already twisted into a knot, but Yu Wencheng raised his head again and said to Yu Wenye, who was sitting opposite them with a cold face: "Second brother, please say something."

"..."

"Don't you want to watch the emperor's brother marry his sweetheart, just like you and the second sister-in-law, playing the piano and the harp, and the husband singing and the wife accompanying him?"

Yu Wenye slowly raised his head, but he did not look at his third brother who looked joking, as if he was waiting for a good show. Instead, he looked at the brightly lit hall, his eyes and expression were so dark that it was almost indistinguishable. The prince of the Qing Dynasty, even though his eyes were as bright as a torch, he couldn't clearly see Yu Wen's confused expression at this moment.

Yu Wenyuan said: "Fengchen, do you want to say something?"

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "My son, I have nothing to say. The emperor's brother's marriage is of course for the emperor to think clearly. As a brother, I can only give blessings."

Yu Wenzhen lowered his eyelids lightly.

Yu Wenyuan said nothing and glanced at Shang Ruyi beside him.

For this daughter-in-law, although the marriage did cause some trouble, it did not prevent him from liking this old friend's daughter, nor did it stop this old friend's daughter from helping them a lot after marrying into the Yuwen family. Whether it was Xingluocang, Wanggang Village, or the battle of Fufeng, she made contributions as a daughter; her existence even made up for Yu Wenyuan's regret that he had no daughters and could not teach a general to be a tiger girl, so He was willing to listen to the opinions of this calm, restrained, and extremely intelligent daughter-in-law on many matters at home, and even on matters in court.

But this thing in front of me——

Although he could see that the second daughter-in-law, who had always been calm and steady, looked pale and confused at the moment, and seemed to be at a loss about this matter.

Even panic.

After all, she once almost married Yuwen Zui. This was the king who existed no matter how much they concealed it or kept silent about it.

Although Yu Wenyuan was good at fighting and a brave general, this did not prevent him from being thoughtful and able to quietly detect the subtle thoughts of the people around him, especially his own son.

Yuwen Sui has always been unwilling to marry. Even though he and Yu Mingyue are so close that they have gone beyond the ordinary interactions between men and women, almost connecting the two families into one, he still refuses to talk about marriage, even if it is not entirely because of business. Ruyi, but I'm afraid it has something to do with her.

But today—

Yu Wenyuan sighed softly in his heart.

And when she heard his sigh, cold sweat broke out from Shang Ruyi's palms, almost soaking the palms of the two of them - she knew very well that until today, some things were irreversible, and the Yu family's father and daughter were Dayan Temple attacked him, which angered Yu Wenye; even though Empress Dowager Jiang saw Yu Wenye's thoughts at that time and reminded her like that, even though she tried to persuade him, Yu Wenye still made a move at Longmen Ferry, causing the death of the two princes. This injury completely angered Yuwen Cun.

These brothers finally met!

Speaking of which, there may have been too many mistakes and errors to get this matter to this day, but such a result seems to have been destined for a long time. All the mistakes and mistakes are just a step towards this result. Just take one step.

Of course, not only could she, Shang Ruyi, think of these, but Yu Wenye could also think of them. Even Yu Wenyuan, who was sitting in the main hall with a solemn expression, had also thought of it, so he asked again and again. And these inquiries are tantamount to obstruction.

But it's all useless.

Yu Wenyuan slowly withdrew his solemn gaze from Shang Ruyi, and then looked at Yu Wenzhen, but the gloom in his eyes was much deeper than before. He was silent for a long time, and finally said: "In three days, I will issue a decree to grant a marriage to you and the Yu family's daughter. When the funeral of Duke Shenwu is over, I will officiate the marriage for you two."

Yu Wenzu immediately stood up and bowed to him: "Thank you, Father, for your success!"

Yu Wenyuan looked at him and said: "In these three days, you can regret it at any time. As long as you open your mouth, I will take it back. Your marriage will not be discussed too late."

"..."

Yu Wenzhen raised his head, glanced at him, and whispered, "Yes."

It was clear that the biggest worry on his mind had been solved, but Yu Wenyuan felt no happiness at all. On the contrary, an uneasiness heavier than Dong Bizheng's death weighed on his heart. He looked at his prince and said in a deep voice: "Ke'er, you just said that you made a mistake in the past."

"Yes."

"I hope you didn't make the decision this time - by mistake."

Yu Wenzhen looked up at him and said, "My son, I will never regret it."
