Chapter 64 Who is the person you agreed to marry?

Yuwen Ye said, "People from Luoyang have arrived and are escorting the remnants of that rebel army back to Luoyang."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly asked, "Then what will they do?"

Yuwen Ye said calmly, "Rebellion is one of the ten heinous crimes. How do you think you will deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank.

Actually, she didn't feel much sympathy for the bandits, after all, they had almost killed her. If Yuwen Ye hadn't appeared in time, her fate would probably have been even worse than theirs.

However, the words those people said kept echoing in her ears these past two days.

Seeing her preoccupied look, Yuwen Ye said, "You don't need to feel sorry for them."

"..."

Instead of lamenting their passing, we should think more about those who are still alive.

These words resonated with Shang Ruyi. She sighed softly and nodded, saying, "You're right. The living are the most important."

Yuwen Ye slowly walked to the low table, sat down, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "I heard you spent a lot of money today."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's face flushed.

Actually, her sending gifts to her family wasn't exactly an act of winning people over. After all, as the new daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, she had to do this kind of favor. However, she was a little worried about how Yuwen Ye would view her.

She remembered clearly that Yuwen Ye disliked her scheming.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to scheme anything."

"..."

"I just feel that since I've married into the Yuwen family, I should do what a daughter-in-law should do. That's all."

Yuwen Ye glanced at her and said calmly, "You don't need to explain these things to me. Just do what you think you should do. As long as—"

"As long as you don't involve your family, right?"

"Um."

"I won't."

As she spoke, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself—how could she possibly scheme against the Yuwen family?

Looking into her dim eyes, Yuwen Ye seemed to realize that his words had been too harsh—no matter what, their current situation, even if they weren't husband and wife, didn't warrant such estrangement.

So, seeing that Shang Ruyi also got up and came over to sit opposite him, he poured her a glass and handed it to her. Shang Ruyi was a little flattered and hurriedly reached out to take it.

As soon as he reached out, Yuwen Ye saw her fingers.

"By the way, I heard you went to the clinic today?"

"You knew about this too?"

"I overheard them talking when I got back. How was it?"

"It's nothing serious. The doctor said I just need to rest for a couple of days."

"That's good,"

Yuwen Ye took another sip of tea, then casually asked, "You didn't run into anything today, did you?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart stirred slightly.

She immediately thought of the man who called himself "Yang Suiyi".

From Luoyang to Taiyuan, this man was almost elusive, and almost nothing he said or did was within the realm of ordinary people, making him completely unpredictable.

Thinking about what he said today, Shang Ruyi felt even more uneasy.

Seeing her fall silent, Yuwen Ye asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head: "No."

"..."

Yuwen Ye glanced at her again, but didn't say anything. He got up and prepared to go to the bed to rest, but looking at his straight back, Shang Ruyi suddenly said, "Yuwen Ye, I have a question I want to ask you."

Yuwen Ye didn't even turn his head: "What?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a long time before finally asking softly, "Who was the person you discussed the marriage with before?"
