Chapter 111 I can exchange with you
No one answered.
The entire Shen Mansion was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left.
After a while, I heard footsteps approaching, and then the sound of the door bolt being pulled down. As soon as the door opened, Shang Ruyi immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle——"
Before she finished speaking, she stopped again.
The person who came to open the door was Uncle Chen, the steward of the mansion.
The old man looked much more haggard than before, with tears still on his face. As soon as he saw Shang Ruyi, he burst into tears again: "Miss Ruyi, you, you are here."
Businessman Ruyi said hurriedly: "Uncle Chen, where is my uncle? And where is my aunt?"
Chen Bo said: "Miss, you know everything."
"Well, where are they?"< br>
"They are all gone."
"What?!"
Shang Ruyi was about to walk in, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped and looked at Uncle Chen in shock. Yu Wenye also followed closely and said in a deep voice: "Shen Your Excellency and Mrs. Shen have been -"
Bo Chen nodded and said in a trembling voice: "What happened yesterday, the officers and soldiers escorted our master and left without even packing a few clothes."
Shang Ruyi's heart fell into the ice cave in an instant.
It turned out to be true, Shen Shiyan had really been exiled.
Moreover, it was so fast that I didn’t even have time to say a word.
Yu Wenye on the side was still very calm. He looked at the situation in the palace inside the gate. It was obviously much deserted. He said: "I heard that the emperor's decree is to exile only Lord Shen. None of the people Being implicated, why is Mrs. Shen still——"
Shang Ruyi remembered that just now Wang Shaoji also mentioned that so many people were exiled this time, but Shen Shiyan was the only one who was convicted and was not involved. Kindred.
If not, how could she stay out of it and not know everything until today?
When Uncle Chen mentioned this, he was even more distraught: "It is true that we people are not implicated, but Madam-she can't bear to let the master suffer alone, and she will go with her no matter what."
"Ah?"
"So, she packed a few clothes, I took some things and went with her."
"..."
"Before leaving, he told us to keep the house safe and not tell the lady. Let us tell the lady, don’t worry, she will take good care of me.”
Shang Ruyi's tears had burst out like a dam.
Her aunt Yu, usually a very playful and somewhat unreliable elder, but at this time, regardless of the mountains and rivers, regardless of life and death, she must follow her uncle and never leave him. , and even left without telling myself in order not to hurt myself.
Shang Ruyi cried and said: "Why are you telling me now!"
Chen Bo also burst into tears and said: "Miss, please don't be too sad, my wife has made all the arrangements before she leaves. , the rest of the family have been dismissed, leaving the old man, Gao Feng and the others to look after the home. The young lady doesn’t have to worry about us, just live a good life with her uncle.”
Shang Ruyi almost cried. To be out of breath.
The best thing in the world for her is Shen Shiyan and his wife. They are her only relatives. Now they are exiled to Lingnan, which is a barbaric land, not to mention how much hardship they will suffer along the way.
How can she "live a good life" when her uncle and aunt are tortured by such a fate?

By the time they left Shen's house and returned to Yuwen's house, the sky was already dark.
Along the way, Shang Ruyi didn’t cry again, but he didn’t say another word. He was completely silent, like a clay sculpture that had lost its soul. Yu Wenye took him back to the room and only said: Standing numbly in the middle of the room.
Yu Wenye glanced at her and wanted to say something, but at this time, there were too many things for him to deal with.
It is a pity that he spent too much time on the Crescent Princess matter yesterday and did not have time to pay attention to the changes in the court. However, the emperor dismissed so many officials at once, which will definitely cause huge consequences in the court and even among the people. The most important thing is the Pei family——
The two families have a deep friendship. No matter what, he has to take care of Pei Xingyuan's situation. So, he turned around and walked out, preparing to have someone go to Pei's house to investigate the situation.
But just when he was about to turn around and leave, Shang Ruyi's low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him——
"I, I have something to ask you."
This voice was numb and trembling, like a cry for help from a person on the verge of despair. When Yu Wenye heard the words, he immediately stopped and stopped. , turned to look at her.
There was no time to light the lamp in the room. Under the dim light, Shang Ruyi stood there, lifeless.
He frowned subconsciously.
Although Shang Ruyi hasn't finished speaking yet, he seems to already know what she is going to say.
I saw that Shang Ruyi's face was as pale as paper. When she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes seemed to be condensed with frost. It was not cold, but that there was no sense or heat. She said word by word: "I, I want to ask you How many people are needed?”
Yu Wenye said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I am going to save them."
"..."
Sure enough, as expected.
Yu Wenye watched her finish saying these words almost numbly, as if he was completely unaware of the rebellious words she had said. He took a deep breath and said, "You know what the result will be if you do this?"
Shang Ruyi looked at him, and after a while, he said: "I want to save them."
"..."
She didn't have any more strength to go Listen to his words and judge the so-called "results."
She just wants to save them.
Exile, which sounds like a light word, is made up of the piles of corpses of countless exiled people. Not to mention the high mountains and long roads in Lingnan and the harsh environment. Those who were exiled there lived a life worse than death. In fact, Only a few people could reach Lingnan. Most of the exiled people were tortured to death on the way!
Her uncle and aunt are her most important relatives, she must save them!
Yu Wenye said: "Do you think I will agree to you to do such a rebellious and unethical thing?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him in silence for a long time. , suddenly said: "I can exchange with you."
"What?"
Yu Wenye frowned: "What do you want to exchange with me?"
When Shang Ruyi spoke, her voice was trembling for some reason, and she even had She walked up to him with a somewhat expectant and flattering look, looked up into his eyes: " From now on, if you want to meet Princess Crescent, I will never stop you.”
“…”
“Not only will I not stop you, I will help you if you need it. Cover it up and never let anyone discover your relationship.”
"..."
"How about it? As long as you promise-"
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sudden strong sense of oppression. For a moment, her neck felt like They were all choked, and the next words were swallowed hard.
Under the dim light, Yu Wenye could be seen squinting his eyes slightly and looking at her coldly.
“What did you say?”
