Chapter 50 How did you get your wife hurt?
At this moment, Shang Ruyi walked into the dining hall and went straight to Yuwen Yuan. She first bowed to the couple and then said with a smile, "Father, please don't blame my second brother. It's all my fault."
Yuwen Yuan was still somewhat angry, but his tone softened a bit: "Don't protect him."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "Actually, I asked my second brother to take me to the military camp."
"You? Why?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "When I was a child, I often went in and out of the army with my father. I miss those times, so I asked my second brother to take me to see what the military camp is like now."
Mentioning this, Yuwen Yuan seemed to be lost in memories, remaining silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Yes, your father was also a master military commander back then."
"..."
"So, did you find anything useful today?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I don't really remember much about what happened when I was a child, but today when I went to the army and saw how diligently the soldiers trained, how strict their discipline was, and how they obeyed orders, I realized that my father's military discipline was even better than my father's."
Yuwen Yuan laughed heartily, quite pleased with himself. After laughing, he feigned modesty and waved his hand, saying, "Don't try to sweet-talk me."
His smile immediately brightened the atmosphere in the dining room.
Shang Ruyi then sat back down next to Yuwen Ye, glancing subtly at Aunt Hui, who was also giving her a cold look.
Just now, Aunt Hui's words were clearly aimed at her "reputation," but in fact, the world has changed. In particular, Empress Du not only participated in political discussions, but also accepted female students in the National Academy she advocated for. Not only in the palace, but also in the court, female officials have appeared. Therefore, the customs of women in the inner chambers are no longer the same as before.
In addition, Shang Ruyi mentioned that she had been in and out of military camps since childhood, which was considered a family tradition, so Aunt Hui naturally couldn't say anything more.
At this moment, Guan Yunmu, who had been silent all along, chuckled softly, "Master, let's eat first, or the food will get cold."
Yuwen Yuan also smiled and said, "Yes, let's eat first."
So everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks.
As Yuwen Yuan picked up some food with his chopsticks, he turned to Shang Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, now that you've married into our family, you should learn to manage things. This household—"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly asked, "What happened to your hand?"
The people at the table had different expressions when they heard his words, but now they all looked at Shang Ruyi's hand holding the chopsticks to pick up food, and noticed that her fingers were swollen, especially the tip of her index finger, which was bruised and purple, and quite frightening.
Yuwen Ye frowned immediately: "You're injured?"
Shang Ruyi quickly withdrew her hand and smiled awkwardly, "No, nothing."
Yuwen Yuan's face darkened, and he asked Yuwen Ye, "What happened to you? How did you get your wife injured?"
Just as Yuwen Ye was about to say something, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Everyone at the table turned to look outside, where a servant hurriedly entered and greeted Yuwen Yuan, "Duke."
Yuwen Yuan asked, "What is it? Who's making noise outside?"
The servant said, "Your Excellency, Huang Gongyi has come to the door."
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged a glance with Yuwen Ye.
"Huang Gongyi?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yuan's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here? Has something happened in the army?"
The servant shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "He said he came to pay his respects to the young mistress."
