Chapter 178: Small and prosperous
I don’t know why, even though the weather was so cold, but when he saw his twinkling eyes, Shang Ruyi’s ears felt warm unconsciously.
While her face was not yet hot, she stood up: "I, I'm going back to rest."
"..."
Yu Wenye Glancing at her: "You go ahead."
Shang Ruyi nodded, turned around and left the dining hall with Tu Sheer and Wuxue.
As she walked out of the dining room, a gust of cold wind blew from outside, which instantly calmed down her swollen brain. Looking back, she felt a little strange why her face suddenly turned red and her ears were hot just now, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand. He rubbed his cheeks.
At this moment, Tusheer behind him said: "Miss..."
Shang Ruyi ignored her and just said to Wuxue: "Hurry back and give the bed to I'll lay it out."
Wuxue smiled and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he walked forward quickly and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shang Ruyi then looked back and saw Tu Sheer's expression that was hesitant to speak. He smiled lightly and said, "Just ask whatever you want. Look at the look on your face where you can't hide your words. "
Tu Sheer hurriedly came to her and said softly: " Why should the lady care about this matter?"
Shang Ruyi smiled half-heartedly: "Shouldn't I care about it?"
Tusher said softly: "But didn't the lady say that before? , now, it’s not time to take care of the housekeeper?”
"..."
"This is just a theft of the tea house, and it has nothing to do with the lady. It's so public..."
Shang Ruyi said: "Although the tea house was stolen, it can be framed. But it is Chang Wan, Chang Wan will implicate Jin Yun, and Jin Yun will It will directly implicate my mother-in-law. This is because the other party is using a small thing to make a big difference. I absolutely can’t just sit back and ignore it.”
“The other party?”
Tu Sheer’s expression became more nervous: "What the lady means is——"
Shang Ruyi didn't speak anymore, but walked straight forward. When he returned to the room, the brazier was already burning hot, the room was warm, and the bed was made. Wuxue put a cup of hot tea in her hand and left. , Tusheer went to close the door, and then walked back to Shang Ruyi, looking at her with twinkling eyes.
Shang Ruyi said while drinking tea: "In this matter, it seems that Uncle Gui put down the cup and slandered Chang Wan, but look at the result, the cup did not fall into his hands, but he had to spend money Let Hu Hua deal with the aftermath, and he is willing to do anything without any benefit at all. There is only one thing he can do: For this reason, his goal is to slander Chang Wan. "
"..."
"But he has no enmity with Chang Wan, so there is no need to spend money to not please him, so he does the same. "..."
"And the person who instigated him——"
Tu Sheer suppressed his voice: "Aunt Hui?"
Shang Ruyi smiled: "Well, not stupid."
< br>Tu Sheer frowned: "But what does Aunt Hui mean by doing this?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I wasn't just now Did you say that Chang Wan was implicated in Jin Yun, and Jin Yun was implicated in Madam's funeral? If Chang Wan stole a cup during Madam's funeral, and it was Madam's cup that she stole, this would definitely be blamed on Jin Yun's poor discipline. . The lady passed away, and her backer has fallen. If no one helps her, she will definitely not be able to stay in the Duke's Mansion. "
"..."
"If she can't stay, how can the other people around Madam survive."
Tu Sheer gasped: "So, Aunt Hui is like this Xiao Boda, use a long wand to completely eliminate all the people of the official wife!"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Tu Sheer sighed: "Okay, so cruel. I usually see her smiling, but I didn't expect that she would do something so unscrupulous!"
Shang Ruyi smiled faintly and said: "She is not dead or injured, where are she?"
"..."
"But it can also be seen that her scheming and methods are indeed "It's unusual."
Tusher said more and more worriedly: "Then I don't understand why Miss. Didn't you say before that you didn't want to face her?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I don't want to face her, I just don't know how to face her, but in fact, I will definitely be her from the beginning? "My opponent, she will definitely be mine. It was destined when this marriage was concluded."
Tusheer thought for a while and said, "Because, miss, you refused to marry the eldest son?"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
She said in a deep voice: "The conflict between Aunt Hui and I is impossible to reconcile. As long as I don't mess with her, everything will be fine. But this time I have to take action, because I said before, Just because I don't take the stewardship right now doesn't mean I won't take it forever. But if I do nothing at all now, let her cut off everyone in the house that I can use. ——Especially the group of people left behind by my mother, even if I want to get it in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it.”
Tu Sheer understood and said, “Miss, this is to conserve your strength. Looking for the future?"
She thought for a while and then said: "Then, does the Duke understand the young lady's painstaking efforts?"
Shang Ruyi looked at her with a smile from the corner of his eyes: "What do you think."
In the dining room on the other side, the people in the kitchen had taken away all the cups and dishes on the table, and Yu Wencheng finally After eating, he burped and said: "I don't understand why the second sister-in-law put so much effort into dragging her to the yard to hit forty strokes. She has done everything. So why do you need to ask around?"
Yu Wenye frowned slightly and looked at him.
After a long while, he said helplessly: "Yanjie, you can't just rely on your strength to be a human being. You still have to use your brain when it's time to use it."
Yu Wencheng said: "Humph, I will. Don't like it. ""..."
"I just think that fists and swords are more effective than brains, otherwise I was just asked to beat up that Hu Shihua, and he would have struck faster than he would have vomited."
Yu Wenye shook his head.
Yu Wencheng probably also felt that talking to him was not a good idea, so he got off the table and left.
In the dining hall, he was the only one sitting, looking out the window at the getting darker and darker night. After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw Mu Xian hurried in from the night, holding a A brocade box, when opened, turned out to be the stolen Yue Kiln Cup.
Mu Xian smiled and said: "Young master, the jade has returned to Zhao intact."
Yu Wenye looked down at the warm luster and smooth lines of the cup, which was like the breath of his mother's body when she was alive. It always gave people a sense of peace of mind, and Tonight, there was someone who kept such peace of mind, which also made him feel more at ease.
He said: "Send it to the waiter and tell them to leave it alone without making any mistakes."
"Yes."
Mu Xian held up the box He was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he heard Yu Wenye calling him again, and he stopped hurriedly: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Yu Wenye said: "How did you know that you were going to Dengfeng to get something?"
"It was the young lady's order."
"Her order? She has been at home these days. How can you know with your hands and eyes that it must be Dengfeng? At least, you should be asked to go out and inquire around the city? That’s right.”
“This matter also seemed strange to me, but when I went to Dengfeng, I specifically asked the boss if anyone had inquired about this cup before. The boss said that a young man did come to ask."
"Who is it?"
"The person who came here didn't leave his name, but I heard the boss' description. He was in his twenties, about the same height as me, with a southern accent. He looked like a guard from the Shen family who was attending the young lady's wedding."
< br>Yu Wenye frowned: "Gao Feng?"
Mu Xiandao: "That's him."
"..."
"Speaking of which...the young lady found me that day and asked us to go do something. This.”
"Then have you gone?"
"..."
Mu Xian immediately lowered his head, his face full of shame and speechless.
Yu Wenye frowned and looked at him. There seemed to be a hint of anger on his face, but after thinking about it, he couldn't express it. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Listen clearly to me and say what you say. Pass it on so that they can hear it clearly - from now on, you must listen to every word of her words, and you must do it for me!"
"..."
"No matter, no matter what situation she and I are in."
Mu Xian also understood at this moment and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, young master, we will do our best to serve the young lady."
Yu Wenye waved his hand, and Mu Xian left immediately.
When the last candle in the dining room was extinguished and he stood up to leave, the night was already very deep.
The wind was very cold, but Yu Wenye opened the door and walked into the warm room, but he didn't feel much hot. On the contrary, when he saw the familiar, slender figure on the bed, his palms My sweat became more sticky.
He closed the door with his backhand, walked over gently, and stopped at the bedside.
Shang Ruyi was lying peacefully on the bed, sleeping with her eyes closed. The soft quilt only covered her shoulders, and a part of her neck was supposed to be exposed, but she didn’t know that her dark hair was from before. The reason why she turned over was that she hadn't put it away when she was lying down. It was half covered and half wrapped around her neck, which happened to protect her.
Yu Wenye looked at the unconscious expression on her fair face because she was sleeping, and felt a little angry for some reason.
He hated her being so unconscious.
Every time she looks unconscious, but she is the most righteous, every word seems harmless, but every word is poignant, even more annoying than her calculating look.
Just thinking about this, Yu Wenye couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Whether it was because he was dreaming about something or because he was born to be sensitive to sight, even the sleeping Shang Ruyi seemed to feel a little uneasy because of his gnashing of teeth. He frowned slightly and his body was not at ease. He twisted consciously.
With this movement, the hair on her neck tightened around her neck.
The sleeping person immediately felt difficulty breathing. Although she was not suffocating, she could not help but open her mouth and let out two low sounds.
“Hmph!”
Yu Wenye sneered, as if he was watching a joke, but after watching for a while, he saw that she was really uncomfortable, so for some unknown reason, he leaned down and reached out to gently pull up a piece of black hair around her neck. I found that her hair was thick and thick, and it felt heavy in my hands.
As soon as the black hair was lifted up, a section of the snow-white neck underneath was exposed.
Yu Wenye suddenly choked for breath.
Actually, in the summer when she was wearing thin clothes, I had seen her neck before, but I had never seen her neck like this. It was thin and white, and it looked even more shining when set off by the black hair on her hands. It was as white as jade and even exuded a faint fragrance...
At this time, I don’t know if he felt something. Shang Ruyi murmured and moved again. The quilt slipped down, revealing his slender shoulders and a mark. Jagged collarbone.
Yu Wenye's breathing gradually became heavier and hotter.
