Chapter 51 Frivolity
Yuwen Yuan looked at Shang Ruyi in surprise: "He came to see you?"
Although Huang Gongyi was his personal guard who had followed him since he entered officialdom, and later made many military achievements and gained his deep trust, and had many opportunities to enter and leave the Duke's mansion, it was still ridiculous that a soldier in the army would come to visit the young mistress of the Duke's mansion alone.
Shang Ruyi was also a little uneasy. She had lost the competition today, and now Huang Gongyi had come to find her. Was he here to cause trouble? Or was it something else?
She glanced at Yuwen Ye hesitantly.
Yuwen Ye remained calm. After a moment's thought, he said to Yuwen Yuan, "Let's go see him first, and then we'll tell Father the details when we get back."
Yuwen Yuan frowned and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly!"
"yes."
After saying that, he and Shang Ruyi got up and left the dining hall.
As soon as the two of them left, the people sitting down slowly put down their chopsticks, and the dining hall immediately became quiet.
After a long while, a soft laugh was heard.
Guan Yunmu turned around and saw Aunt Hui, who was arranging for several servants to serve the dishes, standing to the side. She smiled and said, "Our young mistress is quite a lively person."
In a prestigious family like theirs, the word "lively" would be a compliment if used to describe a child; however, when used to describe a married woman, it inevitably evokes another meaning—
frivolous.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
Guan Yunmu, sitting next to him, remained calm and simply smiled as he placed some food in his bowl, saying softly, "Let them talk, let's eat first."
Meanwhile, Shang Ruyi followed Yuwen Ye hurriedly to the outer reception room, where Huang Gongyi's tall figure sat in a chair, making the entire reception room seem cramped. His posture was ramrod straight, and his figure seemed to exude an aura that kept strangers at bay.
The two went inside.
Upon seeing them, Huang Gongyi immediately stood up: "Young Master, Young Madam."
Yuwen Ye spoke first: "Lord Huang, why did you come here, and to see Ruyi? Is there something you can't say during the day?"
Huang Gongyi, with a long face, said stiffly, "Please forgive me, young master."
After all, he was Yuwen Ye's elder, and given his pride and arrogance, his immediate admission of fault at this moment proved that he had truly given in.
Even Yuwen Ye was somewhat surprised to see him like this.
Huang Gongyi then turned to look at Shang Ruyi, whose expression was unreadable on his dark face. Shang Ruyi felt a chill run down her spine and asked, "Huang Gong, is there anything else?"
Huang Gongyi turned around, picked up a box from the low table beside him, and suddenly presented it to Shang Ruyi.
Because his arms were too long and his movements were too forceful, he slammed his head directly into Shang Ruyi's body.
Shang Ruyi was taken aback and looked down at the rather exquisitely wrapped cardboard box.
"This is--"
"These are fruit snacks; I specially went to Wanjia Fruit Snack Shop to buy them,"
Huang Gongyi said in a gruff voice, "I heard that women like to eat these things, so I specially bought them to give to the young mistress. Please accept them with pleasure!"
"..."
Although he said he would gladly accept it, the way he shoved the item directly into someone's arms made people wonder if he would hit them if they didn't "graciously accept" it.
Shang Ruyi almost instinctively took the item, and Huang Gongyi immediately laughed.
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "But why did Master Huang give me this?"
