Chapter 205 A knife, a person, and a wheat plant

When we returned to Yuwen Mansion, it was getting late.

When Shang Ruyi got off the carriage, she was still a little stiff and numb. She staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Tu Sheer and Wuxue, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, rushed forward to help her. Tu Sheer eagerly

Asked: "Miss, you are finally back, are you okay?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and shook his head without saying anything. When he looked back, the driver had already driven away.

On the long street, there were only the distant sounds of horse hooves and wheels, and the cold wind mixed with broken snow that hit her face, making her limbs cold and her thoughts stagnant.

Tusheer noticed a strange aura, looked at Shang Ruyi again, and said, "Miss, why does your face look so ugly?"

Shang Ruyi looked back at her, then at Wuxue, and forced herself to smile: "I'm fine. Is there nothing going on at home?"

"It's okay,"

Tusheer said: "It's just that, miss, you have been here all day, and we are all worried to death, for fear that--"

At this point, she stopped again.

Shang Ruyi also knew that the last time he entered the palace made everyone worried. This time, they had been worried all day long, so he reluctantly comforted him with a few words, and then led them into the gate together.

As soon as she reached the atrium, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked, "Where is the third brother?"

Wuxue said hurriedly: "The third young master has returned from school and is in his room."

"When did you come back?"

"As usual, Shen Zheng will be back soon."

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I'll go over and see him."

So, she walked up the corridor and walked to the east. Next to the east courtyard where Guan Yunmu lived before, there was Yu Wencheng's residence. The courtyard was relatively small, the rooms were not big, and there were not many furnishings inside.

This is an exquisite and gorgeous piece. Because Sheng Guogong taught his children to be diligent and thrifty, he did not let his children live a life of arrogance and luxury.

However, after Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye left Dongdu, Yu Wencheng immediately had him put on a high bed with soft pillows, and the heater in the room was doubled. At this moment, when he opened the door and walked in, the room was warm.

There were also several plates of snacks on the table, but they were not moved much, while Yu Wencheng was lying on the bed with one of his legs crossed, holding a dagger in his hand and playing with it.

Seeing this situation, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

As the second sister-in-law, and she had not been together for a long time, she could not control Yuwen Cheng's life as strictly as her father-in-law, so she could only turn a blind eye to some of his ways, but she could not stand like this.

She couldn't ignore whether she was standing or sitting.

So he said: "Third brother, don't use the knife on the bed."

Yuwen Cheng turned around and saw that it was her, pouted and said disdainfully: "Second sister-in-law, just leave this guy alone."

Shang Ruyi walked over, gently stretched out her hand to help him, and with an attitude that was neither soft nor hard, she still signaled that he had to get up, and said gently: "I'm doing this for your own good, in case I hurt myself."

Yu Wencheng had no choice but to snort, put the dagger back into its sheath and threw it aside.

Shang Ruyi stopped pulling him.

Yu Wencheng put his hands behind his head, lying on the bed and said lazily: "Second sister-in-law, you are too lenient these days, you are checking my homework, asking about my books, when my father is here

You never took care of me like that."

Shang Ruyi said: "When dad left, he specifically told me to keep an eye on your studies. Don't blame my second sister-in-law for being nagging. It will be good for you to study more."

"What are the benefits of studying?"

"..."

"In this world, hard-fisted skills are the only way to go. No matter how many books you read, you are just a useless nerd."

The more Yu Wencheng talked, the more unhappy he became. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "When my elder brother was here, he wouldn't control me like this."

"..."

As soon as Shang Ruyi heard him mention Yuwen Cui, he immediately became short of breath.

Recently, when she wanted to discipline Yu Wencheng, the child mentioned his eldest brother in front of her, and when he mentioned it, Shang Ruyi was stabbed to the point of being speechless.

After all, the awkward relationship between her and Yu Wenzhen, even if they didn't meet, was an invisible knife piercing her heart.

When he heard what he said again, Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said gently: "Third brother, not teaching the people to fight is to abandon them."

"..."

"It's for your own good that I let you study and have requirements for you."

Yuwencheng glanced at her sideways: "Then you mean, my eldest brother just harmed me?"

"..."

At this moment, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.

She could only sigh and change the topic: "By the way, what did you do today?"

Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately snorted coldly and said, "If you don't just go to school, what else can you do?"

"Didn't you go anywhere else?"

"Where can I go?"

Having said this, he suddenly sat up again and said to Shang Ruyi: "Second sister-in-law, I would like to go out to fight with my second brother. He is at Xingluocang now, and he must be having a lively fight with the rebels!"

"...!"

"My second brother is always victorious in battles. This time he goes to attack Wang Gang's army, and he will definitely win a complete victory."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.

The news she heard in Helou, especially the last words Chu Yang left before leaving, had always made her feel frightened. Now she heard Yu Wencheng talk about "victorious in every battle" and "great victory".

"Win" made her even more trembling.

Yu Wencheng was still saying excitedly: "If I can go to the military and make contributions, then——"

Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "Third brother, it's not time for you to make contributions yet."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wencheng was discouraged again, and immediately fell back on the bed coldly, saying lazily: "Well, it's useless to tell you this. If you can't fight, just don't fight. I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, he pulled the quilt over his head and stopped talking about business affairs.

Seeing the child's arrogant and rude appearance, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to sigh and gently pulled down the quilt for him to prevent him from holding his breath. Seeing that he still closed his eyes and ignored her, he could only turn around and leave.

When she walked out of his room, she also said to the people serving outside: "You must follow the Third Young Master well every day and don't let him run around."

The boy immediately said: "Yes."

Only then did Shang Ruyi leave.

As soon as she left, Yu Wencheng in the room immediately opened his eyes. The slightly raised corners of his eyes revealed a cold and cunning light that was not suitable for his age. He sneered and turned over.

, fell asleep.

Shang Ruyi quickly returned to his room.

Although she returned to her room and it was freezing outside, she never took a bath or changed her clothes. Instead, she sat at the table and stared at the candlelight shining on the table in a daze.

The dazed emotions in his eyes, reflected by the flickering candlelight, made him even more restless.

On the way back, her mind was entangled with various emotions, and she could not calm down. Until now, when she was alone, she finally had time to think about the news she had received today, but this news made her extremely frightened.

Lost all three battles...

No matter how calmly she argued in front of Chu Yang today, this result really shocked her.

Even if she didn't know Yuwen Ye's strength before, after the battle of Yanmen County, no one would doubt him anymore. Even if his troops are insufficient this time, even if Xingluocang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, or even if there are

There are many other reasons, but - he would not have achieved such results today!

Losing all three battles is really unacceptable!

Was his defeat really due to defeat, or was there another reason?

How will he fight in the next battle? Will he lose again?

If he really loses again, then his future, the future of Yuwen Mansion - can there still be a future?

Chu Yang had murderous intentions towards him. This was no longer a guess. It could even be said that the Yuwen Mansion was almost on the verge of disaster. This time, Yu Wenye was suddenly promoted to the general of the auxiliary country and asked to lead the army. Rather than being ordered in the face of danger,

Rather, it is more like a deliberate act of raising and lowering the weight.

His expedition was to be roasted on the fire!

And now, Chu Yang has gotten the result he wanted. If Yu Wenye loses again, just once——

The Yuwen family will be overthrown!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi felt her heart beat heavy, the feeling that made her chest vibrate, as if the earth was shaking. She even felt that the place where she was sitting was shaking. Maybe the next moment, her footing would be shaken.

The land will shatter, and she will fall into the abyss!

No, absolutely not!

Just when she reached out to cover her chest, unable to restrain the panic in her heart that almost dragged her soul into the abyss, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and then Tusheer said urgently at the door: "

Miss!"

Her voice seemed a little uneasy.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "Come in."

Tusheer immediately opened the door and came in. He walked up to her with a nervous expression. Shang Ruyi rarely saw her like this. He thought something had happened in the house and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tusheer walked up to her and whispered: "Just now, someone asked the concierge to deliver a letter to you."

"Letter? What letter?"

Tu Sheer hurriedly sent a letter in his hand to her. Shang Ruyi took it and took a look. The letter looked very ordinary, and there was not even any writing on the envelope.

She frowned and said, "Who sent it?"

Tusheer said: "My servant also asked, but the concierge said that the person who came was unwilling to tell me his name, and he was wearing a curtain and hat, so he couldn't see his face at all. He just told me that this letter must be delivered in person.

The young lady of Yuwen Mansion, probably because she was afraid of being delayed, also gave the concierge a large ingot of silver, which was enough for five taels. The concierge did not dare to neglect, so he asked the slave to deliver it. "

"oh?"

"Miss, look quickly and see if something happened."

Shang Ruyi felt strange when he heard it. He hurriedly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from it, opened it and looked at it, but he was shocked.

There was not a single word on the letter, but a painting——

A knife, a person, and a plant of wheat.
