Chapter 1: Can she not get married?
In the eleventh year of the Great Reign, it was early June.
Luoyang, the eastern capital, lives in the house of Shen Shiyan, the governor of the Liang Dynasty.
In an elegant embroidery room, the doors and windows are closed tightly, not even a breath of wind can blow in, and the bed with low curtains is as quiet as if it is isolated from the world.
A girl with fair skin and good looks was lying on the bed.
She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her big black and white eyes were bright and clear, but there was a hint of anxiety that was completely inconsistent with her age.
She is the eldest lady of the Shen family, Shang Ruyi.
And what she is anxiously waiting for is an answer to her lifelong event——
Can she not get married?
The matter of regretting the marriage was brought up by her half a month ago when she was at her most seriously ill. Her uncle Shen Shiyan immediately objected. After all, Shang Ruyi's marriage was decided by her father during his lifetime, and the one who promised the marriage was not An ordinary family, but the Yuwen family ranked third among the sixteen prominent families in Longxi.
The one she wants to marry is the eldest son of Duke Sheng - Yuwen Sui!
Her Geng Tie was sent to Taiyuan half a month ago. She regretted the marriage at this time. Not to mention that she could not become an in-law, she was afraid that the two families would turn against each other.
Shen Shiyan and his wife tried to persuade them again and again, but Shang Ruyi was determined. In the end, he even coughed up blood and passed out.
Before she fell into coma, she only kept repeating one sentence - I will not marry Yuwen Sui!
How is the marriage going now?
Shang Ruyi couldn't sit still anymore and was about to get out of bed when he heard a creak and the door was pushed open.
A lady in gorgeous clothes and with pearls on her hair came in with two maids. When she saw her like this, she immediately said: "What are you doing? Lie back quickly!"
Speak It was none other than Shang Ruyi's aunt Yu.
This Yu's aunt, whose name is Meixian, is a barbarian with a bold and straightforward temperament. She walked over in two steps while speaking, and pushed Shang Ruyi back to the bed: "I will act randomly when I am sick. If I fall, I will What should I do?”
Shang Ruyi didn’t have time to think about anything else. He just grabbed her sleeve and asked anxiously: “Aunt, my marriage——”
Yu glared at her and then said angrily: "Your uncle and I have already figured out a way to solve this matter. In short, if you don't want to marry Yuwen Sui, don't marry him. We will not let you suffer under any circumstances. "Aggrieved."
As soon as he heard this, Shang Ruyi's heart dropped. As long as you don't marry Yuwen Chou, that's fine!
Yu hesitated again and said: "It's just-"
Before she could finish her words, a boy suddenly ran to the door and said eagerly: " Madam, it’s not good!”
Yu turned around displeased: "What's all the fuss about?"
The boy trembled and said: "Yu, people from the Yuwen family are here!"
"What? !”
Both uncle and nephew were very surprised. Don’t the Yuwen family live in Taiyuan? Why did it come so soon?
Yu thought for a while and said, "Don't move yet, I'll go out and take a look."
Shang Ruyi said: "Aunt, they are here to see me. It's my fault, so let me go -"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ms. Yu is angry again It was funny again, and he pushed her back on the bed: "The elders are still here, is it your turn as a junior to take responsibility? Just lie down for me!"
After saying that, Yu gave her a complicated look. , turned around and went out.
Although she stayed in the room, Shang Ruyi was uneasy. Regreting her marriage was not a trivial matter. If Sheng Guogong really wanted to blame her, not only would the friendship between the two families be broken, but her late father would also be implicated. There are also uncles and aunts, so she is really unfilial.
With this thought in mind, she held herself up and dressed silently, opened the door and was about to go out.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Shang Ruyi froze.
A tall figure stood at the door.
Under the dim sky, the thick shadow cast by the man almost enveloped her whole body.
