Although Yu Wenyuan said at the beginning that they wanted to "make a long story short", by the time they finished what they should have said and finished discussing what should have been discussed, when Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi left the study, it had already passed the third watch.

It was pitch black outside.

Shang Ruyi's eyes couldn't adapt to it, and she almost fell, but a warm big hand had reached over and held her steadily.

Looking up again, he finally saw the gentle outline of Yu Wenye's face through a little faint moonlight, and it seemed that his eyes were also gentle, so when he spoke, his voice was also very gentle: "Are you tired?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head.

Yu Wenye didn't let go of her, took her wrist, and walked back in the night.

There was silence all around, and there was only the footsteps of the two of them on the corridor, but they were not in a hurry, but the even footsteps eased the tense emotions of the two of them a little, and added a little tenderness to the originally cold wind.

And Shang Ruyi was blown by the cold wind outside, and he also sobered up a little.

Immediately, he asked the question that he had been holding back for a while: "Did you tell your father?"

Yu Wenye still walked in front and didn't look back: "What did you say?"

"Say what I asked you?"

"Why do you think so?"

"If you don't tell Dad, it's enough for Dad to tell you about these things tonight, and you don't need to call me over."

If you have a disagreement with the court, you think about it in your heart, but once the two of them say it to each other, and even a few people start to discuss, it is a big deal, once a trace of wind is leaked, they may be questioned and beheaded!

Yu Wenyuan is an extremely cautious person, although he is very kind to her daughter-in-law, but Shang Ruyi can feel that he will not trust her.

If there is no certain temptation, the final determination, it is impossible for him to suddenly reveal his thoughts and arrangements in front of her, the only possibility is that someone has already helped him test and identify some.

And Shang Ruyi's thoughts, after waking up from a serious illness, he didn't even tell people as close to his uncle and aunt.

The only time it was revealed was the day after their wedding, Yu Wenye took her to the restaurant Xianglai Curie in Taiyuan City, she asked Yu Wenye what he thought of the court, and the deep meaning of those words, as long as he was not a fool, understood it.

At that time, she thought that he was loyal to the court, and then knew about his relationship with Princess Crescent, and also thought that this loyalty was mixed with some personal feelings, making it even more unlikely that he would have any reckless comments about the court.

But today, he didn't have the slightest objection to what Yu Wenyuan said.

On the contrary—

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat sank a little, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the man holding his hand, his broad shoulders looked like a mountain in the night, and at the same time, such a mountain seemed to cover his emotions and thoughts.

She still couldn't see through him.

As if sensing her gaze, Yu Wenye glanced at her slightly, and then said, "I said it."

"Why?" ….

"Why, do you think I shouldn't tell my father what you said?"

「…… Again, it's not."

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said softly, "I am your wife and a member of the Yuwen family, if I have any thoughts, I really shouldn't hide them from you."

Yu Wenye suddenly said, "You are still Sheng Guogong's good daughter-in-law."

This sentence, he said very plainly, and he didn't even have any emotions, but Shang Ruyi inexplicably felt that he didn't seem to be very happy.

And, just as he said this, he let go of her hand.

But at this time, they also happened to walk to the door, Yu Wenye reached out and pushed the door open, and then walked in, there was still a candlestick in the room, and when it came to the light, naturally there was no need to hold her hand.

Shang Ruyi followed into the house and closed the door by himself.

In the heart, but with

It had just been held by a warm big hand, and now it was let go, and it felt a little cold.

After she watched Yu Wenye enter the room, she took out a map from the cabinet against the wall and spread it on the low table in the center of the room, took the candlestick and put it aside, and then looked at it quietly.

The flickering candle flame could illuminate the bloodshot in his eyes clearly.

He still wants to look at the map again?

After staying up in Dali Temple for so long, I finally came back, shouldn't I have a good rest?

Shang Ruyi walked over and whispered, "You don't sleep?"

「……」

Yu Wenye didn't answer her immediately, she was quiet for a long time, Shang Ruyi even suspected that the voice he had just spoken was too soft, he didn't hear it at all, and was about to repeat it again before he heard him whisper, "I'll watch for a while and then sleep."

「…… Oh."

Come to think of it, the things that Yu Wenyuan explained in the study just now are indeed too important, not only their lives are at stake, but they are also related to the entire Yuwen family, and even the future of the family that is related to them, so they can't be cautious.

It's just that Shang Ruyi looked at his eyes looking at the map for a long time, and he didn't move.

The eyes are also a little trance-like.

I don't know where the hell he's looking.

In fact, after staying up these days, she didn't have much time to sleep peacefully, and she was very tired at this time, but Yu Wenye didn't sleep like this, and she couldn't fall asleep, so she could only silently walk to the edge of the bed and sit down, and subconsciously touched the wrist he had just grabbed, where there seemed to be his body temperature and breath remaining, but he didn't expect that he would let go so quickly.

And looking at his handsome side face again, I don't know why, his eyebrows are frowning.

Shang Ruyi was a little drowsy, and he didn't want to fall asleep, so he could only droop his eyelids and mutter, "Why aren't you happy?"

This voice is as thin as a mosquito's murmur.

But immediately the room resounded with his scathing response: "Who is not happy!?"

This answer shocked Shang Ruyi to sober up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Yu Wenye had turned his head to look at him, and under the candlelight, his face was clearly full of anger.

What's wrong?

Why did he ask him before, and he didn't answer it until half a day, and he answered this question so quickly?

It's like I've been waiting for a long time.

Shang Ruyi was a little at a loss, and then looked at Yu Wenye staring at herself, she faintly felt something in her heart, but the excessive tiredness made her still a little chaotic, she could only get up and walk over slowly, thought about it, and sat opposite Yu Wenye again, looking at him seriously. ….

After a while, he asked, "Are you really angry?"

Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly.

In that case, it was as if she said something that he was angry with, and he was going to be rude to her.

But Shang Ruyi couldn't smell the dangerous aura emanating from his body at this moment, and only once again decided that he was really angry, thought about it, and said, "Why?"

Just now, it's still good.

Yu Wenye gritted his teeth.

He suddenly reached out a large hand to her.

It wasn't until this moment that Shang Ruyi had a feeling that danger was coming, she subconsciously closed her eyes, but, after a while, there seemed to be no movement on her body, and then she slowly opened her eyes again.

When she opened her eyes, she was startled.

Because, her hand was grabbed by Yu Wenye.

No, to be exact, it was her little fingertip, pinched by Yu Wenye with two fingers.

Shang Ruyi immediately became nervous.

And at this time, Yu Wenye's face did not have the anger just now, and there was even a trace of softness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Still not aware at all?"

Shang Ruyi was shocked, and only shook his head: "It's been many years, and I can't recover."

Yu Wenye looked at her and asked, "Why was your little finger interrupted, why is it unconscious?"

Shang Ru

Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to answer, but before he could speak, Yu Wenye continued, "Why are you ...... So much of the past?"

「……」

"How much more do you have that no one else knows?"

「……」

Seeing that he was not pressing, but seemed to be eager to know all this, Shang Ruyi suddenly understood a little - what he wanted to ask was not actually this.

He just wanted to ask through her fingers, about what she was hiding from him, about all the secrets she had in her...... Perhaps it also includes why she regretted her marriage and why she remarried him.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

At the beginning, on the wedding night, when he knew that her little fingertips were unconscious, Shang Ruyi said the reason, but did not tell the truth behind it, just told him - just the past, not a secret, the implication, if he asked, she would tell him.

And at that time, he was not interested at all, and did not even ask more.

Now, he's asking, and he's asking.

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly felt a little happy, looked at him through the flickering candlelight on the table, and said softly, "You want to know? But it's not time yet."

"When?"

「…… There are still a few days left until January."

After saying this, her own face turned red first.

And Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, his face was not red, but his body was hot and red, this sentence was like a little spark, which immediately ignited the heat on his body that he had deliberately pressed before, and for a while, his breath was hot.

Looking at the red cheeks in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out.

Still, reason grabbed him a moment before touching her, and he hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hand.

He suddenly said, "Then why don't you go to sleep quickly?"

Shang Ruyi didn't know why he suddenly urged her to go to sleep again, but at this time, it was indeed time to rest, so he hurriedly stood up with his head down, and Yu Wenye also stood up.

But he turned and walked towards his couch.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said, "Hey——?"

Do they still have to sleep in separate beds now?

Yu Wenye's footsteps immediately stopped.

There was a slight stiffness on his broad shoulders, and after a long while, he turned around and looked down at her, a faint flame burning in his usually cold eyes, and whispered, "I don't have that good perseverance."

「……」

"Boy, go back to sleep."

「……！」

Shang Ruyi suddenly understood what he meant, the original flush had not yet faded, and at this time, even the tips of her ears were red, she lowered her head, only answered, and hurriedly turned around and went back to her bed to lie down.

After thinking about it, he pulled up the quilt to cover his face.

Looking at her shyness, a smile appeared on Yu Wenye's face, and then, he clenched his fists again, forcibly suppressed a little throbbing in his heart, slowly turned around and walked back to his couch, and fell asleep.

Night, silent in silence.
