Chapter 116 I think you are unhappy

Yu Wenye looked at her quietly. Although the light was dim, for some reason, his eyes seemed a little brighter than usual.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi's face almost burned. Just when he didn't know how to respond, there was a light knock on the door. Then, he heard Shen Wuzheng whisper softly: "Ruyi, are you asleep?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, he immediately frowned.

But Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief - he was saved!

She took three steps at a time and opened the door. Shen Wuzheng was standing at the door, looking at her tenderly: "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"No, brother, do you have anything to do with me?"

"We haven't seen you for so long. I have something to tell you. Are you going to rest?"

After experiencing so many things tonight, Shang Ruyi was not sleepy at all at the moment. What's more, the situation in the room made it even worse for her to stay in the same room with Yu Wenye. She hurriedly said: "I actually can't sleep either. I want to talk to my brother. say."

"That's good,"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Then, come to my room."

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but he seemed to feel a sharp gaze staring at his back. He turned around, looked at Yu Wenye standing in the room, and said calmly: "Master Yuwen, I'm with my little sister. I still have something to say, so I won’t disturb your rest.”

Shang Ruyi also looked back and wanted to say something else, but in the end he was embarrassed, so he just nodded hastily and left.

Shen Wuzheng's room was next door. When he walked in, he saw that it was similar to her room.

However, in addition to a candlestick, there were two earthenware cups filled with water on the low table in the center of the room.

Shang Ruyi walked over and sat down face to face with him.

It was only then that Shang Ruyi managed to calm down his awkward mood and disordered heartbeat. He took a sip of water from the cup and raised his head again, only to see Shen Wuzheng looking at her carefully through the candlelight with a smile.

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Look at how my little sister will be different after she gets married."

Shang Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, raised her face to give him a clear look, and said, "What's the difference?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "You are haggard."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly jumped.

She lowered her head subconsciously and said with a complicated expression: "I'm a little tired after running such a long distance all night."

Shen Wuzheng said: "When I say haggard, I don't mean tired."

"..."

"I think you are unhappy."

"..."

"Ruyi, tell me honestly, is Yu Wenye good to you?"

Just hearing this sentence, Shang Ruyi felt the sadness in her heart well up like a tide, and a hot feeling flowed in her eyes, almost bursting out of her eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head to cover up her vulnerability at this moment, and smiled Then he said: "Brother, how could you ask such a question!"

Shen Wuzheng said: "I only care about this matter, why can't I ask this?"

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and then said: "He is very good to me."

Shen Wuzheng stared at her with burning eyes: "Really?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, then looked up at him with a smile and said, "Everyone knows that he is risking the world's disapproval to save my uncle and aunt this time, but he is still willing to bring his people to accompany me. If he How can you do this if you treat me badly?"

"..."

After hearing this, Shen Wuzheng's expression relaxed a little.

But he didn't look relieved or even happy.

He placed one hand on the table holding the water glass, but did not pick it up for a long time to take a sip. He just remained silent for a long time, then sighed, then raised his head to look at Shang Ruyi, and said softly: "My Ruyi, I have grown up after all.”

"..."

"I just didn't expect that you would be getting married so soon."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "I can't remain a child my whole life."

Shen Wuzheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly reached out and rubbed her hair: "I hope you will remain a child all your life."

She obviously felt that she had grown up enough to be a married woman these days, but when her brother rubbed her hair like this, her childlike temperament still came to her again. Shang Ruyi even felt a little sad, if she could really live a life without Just marry and stay with your uncle, aunt, and brother.

In this way, can she always be as happy as she was when she was a child without having to taste the bitterness of feelings?

But now I——

She was afraid that her thoughts would be seen through, so she just forced a smile and immediately changed the subject: "Brother, what are your plans next?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "What are your plans?"

"We should go back to Luoyang tomorrow."

"Then be careful on the road. I will accompany my parents to Lingnan."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Brother, do you still want to go?"

Shen Wuzheng nodded and said: "Although the few escorting officers will not embarrass them, the mountains are high and the road is long, and the situation becomes worse the further south you go. I am by their side, which can at least make them suffer less. "

"..."

"Besides, I have to see the situation in Lingnan with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."

"..."

"Wait until I go over and settle them down, and then find time to come back to meet you."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him a little sadly. She thought that when he came back this time, his family would be reunited, but he didn't expect that something like this happened suddenly. Shen Wuzheng didn't even have time to go back home and had to accompany his uncle and aunt to Lingnan.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "I also want to..."

Shen Wuzheng immediately said: "You are not allowed to think about it!"

"elder brother……"

"Although I am opposed to your marriage - now, staying in Luoyang is your best choice. Lingnan is a miasmatic place, and even if you want to go, I won't let you go!"

"elder brother……"

Shang Ruyi also knew that although her brother loved her very much on weekdays, once her own safety was involved, no matter how much she acted, it was useless. Besides, her situation made it impossible for her to accompany her as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. When my uncle and aunt went to Lingnan, they could only nod and agree.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "By the way, brother, when you come back this time, are you taking a break, or have you finished your studies and gone home?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "I am full of masters."

"So, when I come back this time, I won't go back to Mr. Li again? What are your plans for the future?"

"What plan do you mean?"

"For example, if I want to become an official, or--"

Shen Wuzheng's eyes flickered and he looked at her: "Do you want me to become an official?"

Shang Ruyi immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No!"

Seeing her like this, Shen Wuzheng immediately laughed. He put one hand on the table, tapped his fingertips gently on the table, and said: "I received a letter from my mother before, and she also mentioned that you once persuaded my father to resign. The official returned to his hometown. Ruyi, you seem to have little confidence in the imperial court."

Shang Ruyi looked at him: "Brother, do you have it?"

The moment he heard these words, Shen Wuzheng's gentle eyes immediately turned dark.
