Chapter 2 Why did you marry me?
As Shang Ruyi looked up, a young and handsome face came into view.
The young man in front of me was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and was exceptionally handsome. Moreover, he was tall and had a slender waist and a broad back. Even though he was wearing an elegant green robe, he still exuded the heroic spirit of a martial artist, which attracted people's attention and made them unable to look directly at him.
What a handsome young man!
Shang Ruyi came from a prestigious family and knew many elegant young men from prominent families, but when she first saw such a handsome young man, she couldn't help but stare in a daze.
"Who are you--"
The young man looked down at her, his expression unreadable, but the gloomy weather and imposing aura behind him made him seem extremely oppressive. When he spoke, his voice was deep and magnetic, sending shivers down one's spine.
"He doesn't even recognize the person he's going to marry?"
"What?"
Shang Ruyi was completely confused and stared at him blankly. The young man parted his thin lips and said coldly, "I am Yuwen Ye."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi gasped in shock!
Yuwen Ye, the second son of the Yuwen family!
Since she had promised her marriage to the Yuwen family, she naturally needed to understand their situation first. Moreover, the second young master of the Yuwen family was famous in both capitals at a young age, and rumors about him had been circulating for a long time.
The beloved son of the Duke of Sheng was exceptionally talented, excelling in both literature and martial arts. Not only was he outstanding in appearance, attracting the attention of noble ladies in both Xi'an and Dongdu, but he was also a brave and skilled warrior. In Longxi, he assisted his father in achieving numerous military exploits, strategizing and winning battles from afar. The important officials in the court called him "unparalleled in the world."
However, the moment this "unparalleled" young master opened his mouth, Shang Ruyi was stunned into silence.
He just said—who he wants to marry?
Seeing Shang Ruyi's astonished expression, Yuwen Ye said coldly, "What, are you going to back out again?"
Going back on your word?
Shang Ruyi's mind raced, and she seemed to vaguely understand something.
Seeing that she still did not respond, Yuwen Ye frowned slightly: "Is it not that you want to change your mind and refuse to marry my elder brother, but instead want to marry me?"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
Now she finally understood.
It turns out that the matter my aunt had just mentioned has been resolved, and this is how it was resolved.
Since she absolutely refuses to marry Yuwen Qian, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, let's change the person she's going to marry to Yuwen Ye, the second son of the Yuwen family. In this way, neither the marriage agreement between the two families nor her wishes will be violated, and the matter will be resolved!
Shang Ruyi inwardly groaned.
Although society has changed and women today no longer have to stay confined to their homes like in the past, and can bravely express their opinions on their marriages, breaking off an engagement is ultimately her fault. Moreover, this is not just a simple matter of breaking off an engagement, but rather remarrying someone else's brother, which not only hurts one person but also drags another innocent person down with her.
Faced with the "victim" who came to her door, Shang Ruyi felt extremely ashamed, her cheeks burning, and she whispered, "Young Master Yuwen... please don't be offended."
Yuwen Ye stared at her coldly for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why exactly do you refuse to marry my elder brother?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi lowered her head, biting her lower lip, unable to speak.
Yuwen Ye then asked, "Then why did you marry me?"
