Chapter 103 Tell a Decent Lie Too
After returning home, she first took a bath.
The hot water quickly dispelled the chill from her body, but when Shang Ruyi changed into a milky white nightgown and combed her hair in front of the mirror, her face was still pale, and she looked almost bloodless.
At this moment, Tushe'er returned.
She rushed anxiously to Shang Ruyi's side and said urgently, "Miss, where have you been? We haven't seen you for ages. The young master even sent people to the Shen residence to look for you, which terrified the master and madam."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately frowned: "Then what about them now—"
Tushe'er said, "My husband just sent someone to pick me up. He said that Miss has returned safely, and only then did Master and Madam feel relieved."
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Tu She'er, "You don't need to worry, I just ran into an acquaintance and went for a drink."
"drink wine?"
Tushe'er frowned and sized up Shang Ruyi.
The two had grown up together since childhood, and Shang Ruyi knew her personality very well. It was already unusual for her to suddenly ask her to accompany the Shen couple home while she went to run errands, let alone go out drinking with acquaintances and make her family search for her everywhere.
Tusheer asked doubtfully, "Miss, are you telling the truth?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her.
Neither the master nor the servant spoke for a moment, and then the door creaked open.
Tushe'er turned around and quickly went over to greet him: "Son-in-law."
Shang Ruyi immediately turned her face away.
Yuwen Ye, who was standing at the door, had just taken a bath and was now wearing the same white pajamas as Shang Ruyi. His hair was still a little wet, and he looked very relaxed and indifferent. When he spoke, his voice was also very calm: "We need to rest."
Tushe'er hesitated for a moment, vaguely sensing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit off. However, this was not something a maid like her could handle. She could only look back at Shang Ruyi with worry, then bow to Yuwen Ye and leave the room.
As soon as she left, Yuwen Ye closed the door behind him.
In an instant, it shut out everything from the outside world.
Shang Ruyi sat in front of the dressing table, her hand holding the comb trembling slightly, almost breaking the comb teeth. But then she felt that she didn't need to be so nervous, so she put the comb back on the table.
But his hands were somewhat out of control, and a sudden "smack" sounded in the room.
The earthquake nearly shattered some things.
Finally, Yuwen Ye slowly walked towards her, until he reached her side. He looked down at her for a while, but Shang Ruyi refused to look up. So, Yuwen Ye looked at the bronze mirror.
Their eyes finally met.
He looked at the pale face and somewhat dazed eyes in the mirror and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you to go home early?"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's breathing became somewhat disordered.
She felt her heart pounding in her chest, making her eardrums buzz. Looking at her cold, unchanging face in the mirror, she couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "Was that really necessary?"
Yuwen Ye said, "Your family is worried about you. Some of the people Mu Xian sent out are still looking for you."
"..."
"If you had gone home earlier, none of this would have happened."
Shang Ruyi smiled at his reflection in the mirror and said, "If you just help me tell them a respectable lie, we won't have any trouble."
