Chapter 205: A Knife, a Person, a Wheat
Back at Yuwen Mansion, it was getting late.
When Shang Ruyi got off the carriage, the whole person was still a little stiff and numb, and he almost fell, but fortunately, Tusheer and Wo Xue, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, hurriedly pounced on her to support her, and Tusheer asked eagerly, "Miss, are you finally back, are you okay?"
γβ¦β¦γ
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, didn't say anything but shook his head, and when he looked back, the coachman had already driven the car away.
On the long street, only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels was left in the distance, and the cold wind mixed with broken snow that hit her face head-on, made her limbs cold and her thoughts stagnant.
Tushe'er noticed a little strange aura, looked at Shang Ruyi again, and said, "Miss, why is your face so ugly?"
Shang Ruyi looked back at her again, then at Wo Xue, and forced herself to squeeze out a little smile: "I'm fine. At home, there's nothing going on, right?"
"It's okay,"
Tusher said, "It's just that Miss you've been there all day, and we're all worried about dying, for fear ofβ"
At this point, she paused again.
Shang Ruyi also knew that the last time he entered the palace, everyone was worried, and this time, they were also worried all day, so he barely appeased a few words, and then walked into the gate with them.
As soon as she reached the atrium, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked, "Where is the third brother?"
Wo Xue hurriedly said, "The third son has come back from school, and he is in the room."
"When did you come back?"
"As usual, Shin Jeong is back."
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and see him."
So, she went up the corridor and walked to the east, just next to the east courtyard where Guan Yundui lived before, which was Yu Wencheng's residence. This courtyard is relatively small, the room is not big, and the furnishings inside are not a few exquisite and gorgeous, because Sheng Guogong taught his children to be diligent and thrifty, so he did not let his children live a luxurious life.
However, after Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye left the Eastern Capital, Yu Wencheng immediately asked people to change themselves into soft pillows for a high bed, and the stove in the room was also doubled than usual.
Seeing this, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
As a second sister-in-law, and she hasn't been through the door for a long time, she can't be strict with Yuwen in life like her father-in-law, so she can only turn a blind eye to some of his practices, but if she doesn't stand and sit like this, she can't ignore it.
So he said, "Third brother, don't get a knife in bed."
Yu Wencheng turned his head and saw that it was her, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully, "Second sister-in-law, you don't care about it."
Shang Ruyi walked over and gently stretched out his hand to help him, not soft or hard attitude still signaled that he had to get up, and said gently: "I'm doing this for your good, in case I hurt myself."
Yu Wencheng had no choice but to snort lightly, put the dagger back into its sheath and threw it aside.
Shang Ruyi stopped pulling him.
Yu Wencheng put his hands behind his head, lay on the bed and said lazily: "Second sister-in-law, you have been too lenient these days, checking my schoolwork and asking about my books, and my father didn't care about me like this when he was here." β¦.
Shang Ruyi said: "When my father left, he specifically instructed me to keep an eye on your schoolwork, don't blame the second sister-in-law for being verbose, it is good for you to study more."
"What are the benefits of studying?"
γβ¦β¦γ
"In this world, fists are the truth, and no matter how many books you read, you're just a useless nerd."
The more Yuwen Cheng spoke, the more unhappy he became, he glanced at her and said, "When my eldest brother is here, he won't control me like this."
γβ¦β¦γ
As soon as he heard him mention Yuwen Chou, Shang Ruyi immediately became short of breath.
Recently, once she wanted to restrain Yu Wencheng, the child mentioned his eldest brother in front of her, and he mentioned,
Shang Ruyi was stabbed and speechless.
After all, the awkward relationship between her and Yu Wenchou, even if they don't meet, is an invisible knife pierced in her heart.
Hearing him say this again at this moment, Shang Ruyi thought about it and said gently, "Third brother, if you don't teach the people to fight, you will abandon it."
γβ¦β¦γ
"Let you study, have requirements for you, for your good."
Yuwen Cheng glanced at her obliquely: "Then you mean that my eldest brother is harming me?"
γβ¦β¦γ
This time, Shang Ruyi was completely speechless.
She could only sigh and change the subject: "By the way, what did you do today?"
Yu Wencheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately snorted coldly, and said, "Isn't it just to study, what else can you do?"
"Didn't go anywhere else?"
"Where can I go?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly sat up again and said to Shang Ruyi, "Second sister-in-law, I want to go out to fight with my second brother, he is now on the side of Xingluocang, he must be fighting with the rebels!"
γβ¦β¦οΌγ
"My second brother has always won a hundred battles in wars, and this time he will definitely win a big victory if he goes to crusade against Wang Gangjun."
As soon as he heard this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.
After listening to the news that Helou heard, especially the last words left by Chu Yang before leaving, she had always been terrified, and now she heard Yu Wencheng say "a hundred victories" and "a big victory", which made her feel a tremble.
Yu Wencheng was still excitedly saying, "If I can go to the army to make a contribution, thenβ"
Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "Third brother, it's not yet time for you to make a contribution."
As soon as he heard this, Yu Wencheng was deflated again, and immediately fell back to the bed coldly, and said lazily, "That's it, it's useless to tell you this. If you can't fight, don't fight, I'm going to sleep."
After speaking, he pulled up the quilt and covered it over his head, and no longer paid attention to the business.
Seeing this child's arrogant and rude appearance, Shang Ruyi was helpless, sighed, and gently pulled the quilt down for him, so as not to hold his breath, and saw that he still closed his eyes and ignored himself, so he could only turn around and leave.
When she walked out of his room, she also said to the people serving outside: "Follow the third son every day, don't let him run around."
The little guy immediately said, "Yes."
Shang Ruyi left.
As soon as she left, Yu Wencheng in the room immediately opened his eyes, and there was a trace of cold and cunning light in his eyes that were slightly raised at the corners of his eyes, and he sneered, turned over, and fell asleep. β¦.
Shang Ruyi quickly returned to his room.
Although she returned to her room, it was freezing outside, but she never went to take a bath or change her clothes, but sat at the table and stared at the candle flame on the table in a daze.
The trance-like emotions in his eyes, reflecting the flickering candle flame, became even more restless.
On the way back, her mind was entangled with all kinds of emotions, and she couldn't calm down until this moment, alone, she finally had room to recall the information she had received today, but this information 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.
Yu Wenye's strength, even if she didn't know it before, but after the battle of Yanmen County, no one would doubt it, even if his soldiers and horses were insufficient this time, even if Xingluocang was easy to defend and difficult to attack, or, there were more other reasons, but-he would not be as successful as today!
Losing all three battles is really hard to accept!
Was his defeat really defeated, or was there another reason?
How will he fight the next battle? Will it be defeated again?
If he really loses again, then his future, the future of Yuwen Mansion - can there be a future?
Chu Yang had a murderous intent towards him, this is no longer a guess, and it can even be said that Yuwen Mansion is a few
is already about to be in trouble, this time Yu Wenye was suddenly promoted to the general of the auxiliary country and let him lead the troops to the battle, not so much to be ordered in danger, but more like a deliberate - to raise and fall.
His expedition is to be roasted on a fire!
And now, Chu Yang has already got the result he wants, Ruoyu Wenye is defeated again, only once-
The Yuwen family will be overturned!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi only felt her heart pounding for a while, the feeling that made her chest shake, as if the sky was shaking, she even felt that the place she was sitting on was shaking, maybe the next moment, her foothold would be shattered, and she would fall into the abyss!
No, absolutely not!
Just as she stretched out her hand to cover her chest, and couldn't stop restraining the panic in her heart that almost dragged her soul into the abyss, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then, Tusher said eagerly at the door, "Miss!"
Her voice also seemed to be a little uneasy.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Come in."
Tushe'er immediately pushed the door in, and walked to her side with a nervous expression, Shang Ruyi rarely saw her like this, thinking that something was going on in the house, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tusher walked up to her and whispered, "Just now, someone asked the porter to deliver a letter to you."
"Letter? What a letter?"
Tusheer hurriedly handed a letter in her hand to her, and Shang Ruyi took it and saw that the letter looked very ordinary, and there was not even any text on the envelope.
She frowned and said, "Who sent it?"
Tusher said, "The slave and maid also asked, but the porter said that the person who came refused to give his name, and he was wearing a hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly. It's just a thousand instructions that this letter must be handed over to the young lady of Yuwen Mansion in person, probably because she was afraid of being delayed, and gave the porter a large ingot of silver, which is enough for five taels. The porter did not dare to slack off, so he asked the slave and maid to bring it."
"Oh?"
"Miss, take a look, don't something happen."
Shang Ruyi felt strange when he heard it, hurriedly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from it, and opened it to look at it, but was surprised.
There was not a word on the letterhead, but a pictureβ
A knife, a man, a wheat plant.
