Chapter 1 In the end, can she not marry?
The 11th year of the Great Treatment, early June.
In the eastern capital, Luoyang, Shen Shiyan, the mansion of the governor of Li.
In an elegant embroidery room, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and even a trace of wind could not be blown in. The bed with low curtains was as quiet as if it was isolated from the world.
A girl with fair skin and beautiful appearance was lying on the bed.
She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with big black and white eyes that were bright and clear, but were flashing with a little anxiety that was completely inconsistent with her age.
She is Miss Chen’s house and Shang Ruyi.
What she was anxiously waiting for was an answer to her lifelong event—
In the end, can she not marry?
The remorse of marriage was proposed by her when she was the worst ill half a month ago. Her uncle Shen Shiyan immediately opposed it. After all, Shang Ruyi's marriage was decided by her father during her lifetime. It was not an ordinary family who was allowed to marry, but the Yuwen family, ranked third among the sixteen prominent clans in Longxi.
The one she wants to marry is Yuwen Qian, the eldest son of Duke Sheng!
Her Geng letter was sent to Taiyuan half a month ago. At this time, she regretted getting married. Not to mention that she could not become a relative, she was afraid that the two families would become enemies.
Shen Shiyan and his wife repeatedly persuaded each other, but Shang Ruyi had made up her mind and finally she even fainted from coughing up blood.
Before she fell into a coma, she just kept repeating one sentence - I will not marry Yuwen Qian!
Now, what is the marriage?
Shang Ruyi couldn't sit still anymore. She was about to get out of bed when she heard a creak and the door was pushed open.
A noble lady in gorgeous clothes and jade-covered head walked in with two maids. When she saw her like this, she immediately said, "What are you doing? Lying back quickly!"
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Shang Ruyi’s aunt Yu.
The Yu family's name is Meixian. He is a Hu man. He is generous and straightforward. He has walked over two steps while talking. He pressed Shang Ruyi back to the bed: "I just get sick and get crazy. What if I fall down?"
Shang Ruyi didn't have time to think about anything else, so she just grabbed her sleeve and asked anxiously: "Auntie, my marriage--"
Yu Shi glared at her and said angrily: "Your uncle and I have already figured out a solution to this matter. In short, if you don't want to marry Yuwen Qian, you won't marry you. We will never let you be wronged no matter what."
When he heard this, Shang Ruyi immediately put down the big stone in her heart.
As long as you don’t marry Yuwen Qian, that’s fine!
Yu hesitated again: "It's just--"
Before she could finish her words, a servant suddenly ran to the door and said anxiously: "Madam, it's not good!"
Yu turned back unhappily: "What's so fussy?"
The servant trembled and said, "Yu, the people from the Yuwen family have come to the door!"
"What?!"
Both uncle and nephew were surprised. Didn’t the Yuwen family live in Taiyuan? Why did they come so soon?
Yu thought for a while and said, "Don't move first, I'll go out and take a look."
Shang Ruyi said: "Auntie, are they here to find me? I am wrong with this matter, so let me go--"
“What nonsense,”
Yu was both angry and funny, and pressed her back to the bed: "The elder is still here, it's your turn, the younger generation, to take responsibility? Leave me well!"
After saying that, Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, turned around and went out.
Although she stayed in the room, Shang Ruyi was uneasy and regretful about marriage was a big deal. If Duke Sheng really wanted to blame him, not to mention the friendship between the two families would be damaged, but her late father and uncle and aunt would be implicated. Then she would be so unfilial.
Thinking of this, she still put on her body and put on her clothes silently, and then she opened the door and was about to go out.
However, as soon as the door was opened, Shang Ruyi froze.
A tall figure stood at the door.
Under the dim sky, the thick shadow cast by the man almost enveloped her.
