Chapter 72: Yes, Hostage?
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, somehow felt a little weak, and said, "That's youβthat's what my mother gave me." β
ββ¦β¦β
"My mother said that I forgot to give a meeting gift before, and I just made it up for me today."
Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the box, and then looked at her.
Shang Ruyi knew in his heart that since he didn't regard himself as a real wife, he naturally felt that it was inappropriate for his mother to give him such a valuable thing. Shang Ruyi thought about it and planned to make it clear to him, so he said to Tusheer and Wo Xue in the room: "You two go down first." β
"Not necessarily."
Yu Wenye interrupted her, ignoring her somewhat surprised expression, and instructed the two maids: "You stay and immediately pack up for me and the young lady." β
Shang Ruyi was surprised: "Why?" β
Yu Wenye sat down in front of the low table in the center of the room, beckoned to her, Shang Ruyi also hurriedly walked over and sat down, only to hear Yu Wenye say: "We are going to prepare to leave and go to Luoyang." β
"Did my dad arrange it?"
"No, it's the Emperor's will." Yu Wenye's face was gloomy, and he said: "This time to conquer Liaodong, not only did many princes accompany the expedition, but also required all the families of these people to return to the Eastern Capital. β
ββ¦β¦β
Shang Ruyi's face also sank, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Yes, to be a hostage?" β
Yu Wenye glanced at her and nodded silently.
Both of them were in a very low mood.
The emperor conquered Liaodong several times, and there were many complaints in the country, and he must have been worried about what the people who opposed the expedition would make any moves when the army went out, so he summoned the families of these people to Luoyang in advance, and if there was anything wrong, he would be able to control the situation immediately.
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and asked again, "The people in the familyβ"
Yu Wenye said: "Father and mother are going to Liaoxi, and the two of us and Yanjie have gone to the Eastern Capital, so naturally the people in the family will also follow." β
Yan Jie is the word of Yuwencheng.
Even such a small Yuwencheng had to be called back to Luoyang, and it seemed that the emperor was really not at ease with Sheng Guogong's family.
Shang Ruyi was about to say something, but saw Yu Wenye staring at the box with burning eyes.
He obviously knew what Guan Yundui meant by giving him a meeting gift, probably he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was such a nominal wife, but he was recognized by Guan Yundui.
Shang Ruyi was apprehensive, her lips opened and closed once, and finally said, "Just now, I also persuaded my mother." β
Yu Wenye glanced at her.
Facing his gaze, Shang Ruyi lowered his head again and said softly: "However, my mother still insists that I must follow my father to Liaoxi." β
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Wenye was silent for a while, and suddenly let out a chuckle, and the laughter seemed to have a bit of ridicule, as if she had seen through all her thoughts.
He said, "Well, you can put it away." β
ββ¦β¦β
Shang Ruyi's face turned red all of a sudden.
In fact, she understood that just now Yu Wenye stared at the box of jewelry, and told her silently that he was not willing to let his mother really treat her as a daughter-in-law, and if she had self-knowledge, she should return the things to him, at least, to him.
However, Shang Ruyi diverted the topic and did not mean this.
That's why he took such a sentence without a beginning or an end.
But after saying this, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little too cold, and glanced up, but fortunately Tusher and the others were so concentrated on packing their bags that they didn't pay attention to what the two of them were saying.
So, he softened his tone and said gently: "You should also prepare well and set off in a few days." β
