Shang Ruyi looked up at him again.

In the night, her eyes were like the lake under the moonlight. It could have been calm, but at this moment a stone was thrown into it, which not only broke her thoughtful calm, but also flickered and swayed, and was in a mess.

Looking at her gaze, Yu Wen Ye's eyes became deeper.

Just when the two of them were speechless, but the silent atmosphere seemed to exude an indescribable ambiguous feeling, which made people even feel a little addicted to it, a gust of night wind suddenly blew.

The lack of coldness made Shang Ruyi calm down suddenly.

What was she thinking?

Just thinking about it, she immediately became more awake. When she looked up at Yu Wen Ye again, the flickering and throbbing in her eyes had disappeared. Although she was suppressed by her, Yu Wen Ye looked at the eyes that suddenly became cold, and for a moment, his breath was also suffocated.

It was obvious that nothing happened, but it seemed that a lot of things happened.

Shang Ruyi lowered her head in a panic and said softly: "It's a bit late."

The implication is that it is time to go back and rest.

“…”

Yuwen Ye looked at her for a while and seemed to sigh lightly, but he didn't say much. He just turned around and walked forward silently. Shang Ruyi also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

After a while, he walked into a yard.

This is a yard located in the northeast corner of the Duke's Mansion. It is spacious but there are no flowers, plants and trees. There are several cracks on the bluestone slabs on the ground. Shang Ruyi knew at a glance that it must have been caused by his past living here to practice martial arts. No wonder the yard is so empty.

However, he probably hasn't been back to this place for many years, but it is full of his aura from the inside out.

Yuwen Ye walked forward and pushed open the door.

Suddenly, another night wind blew from behind the two of them and poured into this somewhat empty room.

Shang Ruyi opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the room in front of her. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to Yuwen Mansion in Taiyuan, and it seemed that when she just stepped into the Duke's Mansion in Luoyang, the east capital, the room was almost exactly the same as his previous residence, but it was larger than those rooms.

But it is bigger and just more empty. There are still no furnishings here. Like almost all ordinary rooms, a huge wooden screen divides the room into two inside and outside. Outside is the outer room where guests are met, there are two or three low tables, a few blankets, and a bronze incense burner next to the main seat. With Yu Wen Ye's footsteps, she slowly followed in. There was only a wide bed in the inner room, and a tilted table was placed near the window. It seemed that he was reading and writing letters.

The rest is nothing.

Shang Ruyi looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but say, "This place is exactly the same as Taiyuan Prefecture and Dongdu."

Yuwen Ye looked at her with a smile on his lips and said, "I've told you a long time ago."

Shang Ruyi was stunned and turned to look at him.

Yuwen Ye said: "At that time, I also said that I had the opportunity to take you to Daxing City to see my room. Now I have seen it, and I didn't lie to you."

“…”

Shang Ruyi was a little dazed.

Yes, when they first arrived in Dongdu and entered his room, he did say this - in fact, she remembered it too.

But I didn't expect that even himself would remember.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded outside, and Tusher's voice drifted into the room with the night wind-

"So, that Wo Xue is a big bad guy!"

"She is really good at pretending. I think she is an unknown little girl. I didn't expect to be so hiding. She really knows people but not the heart."

"If it weren't for her this time, our lady wouldn't have suffered so much."

Shang Ruyi turned around and vaguely saw her and Changwan walking in with bags of luggage in their hands. She chattered all the way. Although Changwan didn't say a word, she listened very seriously. Finally, she said: "It turned out to be her."

"Yes,"

Tusher said: "I used to think you were not a good person. It turns out that she was not a good person. Changwan, I will take good care of you in the future."

Changwan glanced at her, laughed, and said, "Oh."

Shang Ruyi, who was standing in the room, almost laughed, and felt a little embarrassed. Her girl was so stupid that she, the master, was not smart.

Sure enough, Yu Wenye, who was standing beside her, twitched slightly, as if he was smiling.

But when Shang Ruyi looked at him, he looked serious again.

Fortunately, Tusheer and Changwan had already walked in at this time. As soon as they saw the door open, they immediately walked into the inner room. When they saw them, they hurriedly bowed. Tusheer said happily: "Miss, you are back."

“…”

Shang Ruyi glared at her angrily.

Changwan, who was standing beside her, also wanted to smile or not, but she still kept her face calm and said softly: "Second Young Master, Young Madam, you are finally back. I have boiled hot water and prepared it there, so I can take a bath at any time."

Yuwen Ye coughed lightly before saying, "I'll go wash first, you can prepare."

After saying that, he walked out.

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised. He usually let himself go first for everything, but today, he discussed it without discussing it and went to take a shower first, which was a bit ungraceful.

But thinking about it, it’s just a small matter like bathing, and whoever comes first and whoever comes later cannot be said to be graceful.

So she sat aside and asked Tusheer to help her remove her hair. Changwan on the other side opened the luggage bag she brought back and packed it one by one. Shang Ruyi looked at her busy figure and said softly: "You have suffered a lot these days."

Changwan hurriedly said, "I have suffered so much."

As he said that, he said with some guilt, "I would have been more alert at that time."

Shang Ruyi knew that she was talking about the fact that she was kidnapped by Wo Xue, so she smiled faintly. Speaking of which, some things were destined, maybe God would let her go to Jiangdu, not for anything else, but for the last journey of her lonely life with that person. So, even if it wasn't Wo Xue, there might be other people, other roads, let her go south to Jiangdu.

Even if she had to make a choice for herself, she might not have a second choice - even if it would leave such a nightmare.

This journey may be hard or even painful, but I don’t regret it.

So she said lightly: "Don't mention this."

Changwan immediately said: "Yes."

Seeing her go to pack her clothes again, Shang Ruyi suddenly said, "By the way, where is the jewelry box I brought from Dongdu, my mother gave me?"

Changwan hurriedly said, "I put it in the box in the side house. Do you want to see it?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Take it first, I'll talk about it later."

"yes."

Changwan hurried out to get it.

When she left, Tusher said again: "Now, she is quick to do things and doesn't talk much. She is such a good person. I always thought of her before. Now it seems that someone who can say beautiful words may not be a good person."

Shang Ruyi was so angry that she lost her temper. After a while, she rolled her eyes: "You, please be more careful."

"ah?"

Tusheer was stunned and looked at the helpless look of her lady in the bronze mirror.

Shang Ruyi said: "No one is like you, who says anything like a mouthless bamboo basket."

Tusher thought for a while and said, "But, I didn't say anything I shouldn't say. Woxue is a bad person, and everyone knows this. I misread Changwan. Now I want to make peace with her, which is what I think."

“…”

"I think it's time to say it out loud to be nice to others."

“…!”

Shang Ruyi's heart moved slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Tusheer's bright eyes in the bronze mirror.

After a while, she smiled, "How did you know that you mistook her?"

Tusher said, "Miss, don't you know. I just heard from the people in my family that after I followed my son-in-law to Jiangdu Palace, Changwan took care of the lady's things all the way back to Taiyuan and then to Daxing City. I heard that once when I crossed the river, a pack of things from the lady fell into the river, and she didn't even have the life to jump down and pick it up."

"……oh?"

"But she didn't tell the lady, and if I didn't say it, the lady wouldn't know."

“…”

Shang Ruyi nodded and said, "It's hard for her."

Tusher said: "In the future, I will never get along with her anymore. Let's serve the lady well together, and the lady doesn't have to worry about someone plotting against you again."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment and said, "Do you, don't you want Wo Xue to come back at all?"

"return?!"

When Tusheer heard this, his eyes widened.

She couldn't believe her ears and said in surprise: "Miss, what do you mean is to ask her to come back to serve?"

Shang Ruyi didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Tusher couldn't believe it: "Miss, you don't really have such an idea, right?"

“…”

"She, she's so harmful to you."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while before whispering: "She has no choice."

Tusher's brows frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered: "So, the lady kept her before, and she still took her along the way?"

“…”

"Miss, you have to figure it out. Even the wife said that you don't need to be unfaithful for a hundred times."

“…”

"She has plotted against the lady like that, and it is hard to protect the future--"

Hearing her words, Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment. After a while, she said softly: "Well, I'll just talk about it. Let's discuss this matter later."

As she said that, she took off her earrings and placed them on the table.

When he turned around, he saw that Yu Wen Ye had finished bathing, wearing a thin long gown, and his hair was a little moist. He had returned to the room at some point. Shang Ruyi immediately said: "You, you have finished washing."

"Um."

Yuwen Ye looked at her long hair scattered behind her head. Although it was messy, it was a little softer than usual with her neat bun, and her eyes became deeper.

After a while, he turned his face to the side and said, "You go and take a shower too, so you can rest early after you finish."

"Oh, OK."

Shang Ruyi nodded and asked Tu Sheer to accompany her to take a shower. She took a comfortable shower and felt much more refreshed. When she returned to the room, Yu Wen Ye disappeared.

She asked subconsciously: "Where is him?"

Changwan was tidying up her luggage. When she heard this, she whispered: "Just now, the second young master went out."

“Go out?”

Shang Ruyi was a little confused. Why did he go out again just after he got home?

So he asked, "Where has he been?"

Changwan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shang Ruyi, and then said carefully: "The second young master seems to... have entered the palace."
