He hesitated for a moment, and finally said dryly: "Go down and rest."

After saying that, he turned his face to one side.

Shang Ruyi was not surprised by his indifference, but she was somewhat disappointed. After all, she came in and said those words to persuade Yu Wenye to go back and rest, but after hearing what he said, she knew that he would not leave.

She could only sigh, still burn the pile of paper money in her hand, and then said softly: "Then, I'll go down first."

"..."

"Second brother, you still have to take care of yourself."

"..."

"I...can't live without you in this house."

After saying that, she stood up slowly, walked over with her painful knees, lifted the curtains, and left the inner hall.

However, when the curtain fell, she didn't see a pair of eyes behind her that seemed to have broken the ice, watching her back. There was a hint of warmth in those eyes, as if reflecting the flames in front of her.

When Shang Ruyi went back, he only slept in the side hall for less than two hours.

After getting up, I was still busy.

At this time, someone came to report from outside. Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War came to express his condolences, and Shang Ruyi hurriedly went out to greet him.

When she was in the Shen family, she seldom went out to play, and had almost no contact with outsiders. She only hid in the house every day, reading and writing, or knitting and spinning. Now that she married into the Duke's mansion, she could not avoid being welcomed and sent away. First,

He arranged for someone to accompany Lu Shangshu, and he also drank tea with Mrs. Lu. After talking for a while, they said goodbye and left.

Shang Ruyi personally escorted them to the gate and watched Lu Shangshu's carriage leave before he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.

After taking two steps, I saw a short-dressed servant carrying a box and hurriedly leaving through the side door.

Shang Ruyi stopped him: "Where are you serving?"

The servant was only in his twenties. He had a sharp face and a sharp mouth. At first glance, he looked like a very cautious person. When he turned around, he saw that the young lady had stopped him. He was startled and hurriedly came over to salute with a pale face.

: "Young Madam, I, the villain, am——"

At this time, Aunt Hui walked out of nowhere.

She smiled and said: "Young madam, this is Hu Hua from the waiter."

Shang Ruyi said: "Shouldn't the people in the waiter be waiting at the back? Why are you running out? What are you carrying in your hand?"

Hu Hua didn't dare to raise his head. He only slightly lifted the thing in his hand and said, "Young madam, this is a food box."

Aunt Hui said: "Young madam, it's like this. There have been too many guests in the past two days, and the refreshments prepared by the waiter are not enough, so I asked them to go to Tinghe Tower in the city to get some ready-made refreshments for use.

"

"Isn't there a guy at Helou who delivers things? Why do our people need to go there?"

"I heard that Helou's business has been busy these past two days, and they have already run out of people."

"oh……"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi nodded.

This time the emperor visited the north, and the camp was robbed. In addition, he fled in a hurry, and more than half of the officials and their families he brought were killed or injured. So when he returned to Luoyang City, many people were holding funerals. I think other families were also having refreshments like them.

It was not enough, so I went to Tinghe Tower to buy some, so people from Tinghe Tower couldn't escape.

Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you still run out in such a cold weather."

Hu Hua whispered: "No, I don't dare."

Shang Ruyi turned around and said to Tusheer: "Go and get a small amount of money to reward him. If it's cold, buy something hot to drink."

Tu Sheer hurriedly took the money and handed it to Hu Hua. Hu Hua had probably never seen such a big gesture before. He held the money and laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Aunt Hui looked on and said with a half-smile, "Young lady, you really pity the old and the poor."

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "They have indeed worked hard these days, and they should be rewarded. I also hope that they will serve well and carefully, so that nothing like yesterday's Wulian Cup will happen again. You know,

Not to mention how precious that cup is in Dad's eyes, just one cup can be pawned for forty or fifty taels of silver in a small pawn shop. If two more are lost, our family will be very poor."

When Hu Hua heard this, his little eyes showed a look of astonishment.

After saying these words, Shang Ruyi smiled again: "Look at me, I've been chatting for a long time in vain. Okay, you can go quickly."

Hu Hua saluted them, carefully picked up the food box and left.

Shang Ruyi faced Aunt Hui again, and they looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, Wuxue suddenly ran out in a hurry and said to Shang Ruyi: "Young madam, hurry over and have a look. The second young master doesn't look right!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around and ran inside.

When they arrived at the mourning hall, Jin Yun took several maids to protect Yu Wenye. They saw that his face was pale and green, and he had fainted. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. When he reached out and touched it, his pale skin was frighteningly hot.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Quick, help him back to his room!"

Everyone hurriedly helped him up and carefully protected him all the way back to their room. After entering the door, Shang Ruyi subconsciously glanced at the bed where he usually slept, but everyone directly sent Yu Wenye to lie down on her bed.

.

Only then did Shang Ruyi come back to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

When he walked to the bed again, he saw that Yu Wenye's face began to turn a sickly red color, and his breathing was so weak that he could hardly hear it. Shang Ruyi ordered: "Hurry and ask the doctor to boil the medicine, and then let the kitchen prepare it."

The soft rice soup is hot."

Everyone left in response.

As soon as the door was closed, the howling cold wind was immediately blocked out. No one had stayed in the room for a long time. The brazier that had just been delivered had not had time to do anything when it was placed beside the bed. The room was still as cold as a snow cave, but

Yu Wenye's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Shang Ruyi sighed and took out a handkerchief to wipe him gently.

Then, he pulled the quilt on the side and covered him.

As soon as the quilt covered his body, Yu Wenye frowned and woke up immediately.

His eyes were still confused, but he was already struggling to get up unconsciously, muttering: "What are you doing? Get out of the way..."

"Second brother!"

Shang Ruyi was anxious. If his body continued to struggle like this, something serious would really happen. So he pressed his shoulders with both hands: "Don't move around. You just passed out and are still feverish. Take a good rest."

.”

"Let me go..."

Yu Wenye's breath was hot, and his whole body was as hot as red-hot coals, but he still refused to lie down. He struggled hard with both hands to push back, and gritted his teeth and said: "Get out of the way, let me——"

"Second brother!"

Seeing that she couldn't catch him, Shang Ruyi became anxious and jumped on him, pressing him back to the bed with her body.

"...!"
