Chapter 602 Family members are the most important people to you
"Why?"
Shang Ruyi was startled. The invitation was thrown right at her. She instinctively reached out and caught it. When she picked it up and looked at it, her eyes widened immediately.
That was actually a visiting card written by Shang Shoufei!
Seeing this, Tushe'er, who was standing beside her, also changed her expression slightly and said softly, "Oh dear, I haven't had a chance to say it yet. Your Highness, your—the eldest son of the Shang family, came to deliver a visiting card early this morning."
"..."
"Second Master, oh no, His Highness the Prince of Qin refused to see the visitor at all and simply drove him away."
Shang Ruyi's expression immediately darkened.
Looking up again, she saw the tall figure in the room. Upon hearing their movements, he paused slightly, stopped, and turned to look at her.
The two people, separated by a door, suddenly looked into each other's eyes.
Immediately, Shang Ruyi was taken aback again.
Those familiar, cold eyes were now bloodshot, clearly from not sleeping all night. And because of anger, there was a deep, suppressed rage beneath the weariness, which was even more alarming.
Shang Ruyi asked instinctively, "Second Brother... what's wrong?"
"...!"
At that moment, whether it was her imagination or not, Yuwen Ye's eyes seemed even redder.
But the next moment, his expression returned to normal, especially his eyes, which seemed to freeze into a cold frost in an instant. He slowly reached out and opened the door, calmly saying, "You're back."
Shang Ruyi finally came to her senses and said softly, "Yes."
After saying that, she waved her hand at Tushe'er beside her. Tushe'er was still quite perceptive. From the somber atmosphere and cold attitude of Yuwen Ye and Pei Xingyuan when they went home to talk last night, she could sense that there seemed to be something wrong between them. At this moment, she did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly withdrew.
Shang Ruyi then slowly walked into the room.
The house had been thoroughly cleaned by this time, with everything except some unnecessary furniture still in place.
Shang Ruyi also noticed at a glance that the bedding on the bed in the inner room was neatly arranged, indicating that the person had not slept all night.
She said softly, "How could you—"
These things could have been left to Changwan and Woxue to do. Why bother staying up all night? It's unnecessary and bad for your health.
But on second thought, caution might not be a bad thing.
After all, they will soon be moving into the palace. At that time, every word, every expression, and even every word written will become the focus of everyone's attention. It is not a bad thing to be cautious and meticulous from now on; on the contrary, it may be necessary.
Thinking about it, she swallowed her words and didn't ask any further questions. She only looked down and saw the visiting card that Yuwen Ye had just thrown away like trash, and then said, "Why did you throw this away?"
Yuwen Ye frowned slightly.
He raised his eyelids to look at Shang Ruyi: "What, do you want me to accept it?"
His words sounded like a question, or perhaps a rhetorical one, but regardless of the tone, the way he asked it made Shang Ruyi's face suddenly burn. She understood, of course, that the reason Yuwen Ye was so cold and even hostile towards Shang Shoufei was because she had confided in him about her childhood experiences, which had filled Yuwen Ye with righteous indignation. Moreover, after learning that she had been bullied by those beggars, he was even more furious and wanted to seek justice from those people.
He was angry because he felt sorry for himself.
It was because she felt sorry for herself that she had such a bad impression of Shang Shoufei, and even treated him so badly, throwing his invitation card out like trash.
Now that I've changed my attitude, aren't I contradicting myself?
But--
Just as her mind was racing, and she hadn't yet decided how to speak, or even made a further decision, Yuwen Ye seemed to have already keenly sensed her hesitation. He frowned and looked at her: "What, do you really want me to accept this?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Yuwen Ye's brows furrowed even more, as if he still couldn't believe it: "You really want to accept it?"
Shang Ruyi remained silent for a while before speaking softly, "Although I just went home yesterday and shouldn't go back—but I still want to ask you if you could inform my father and let me stay at the Duke's mansion for another night."
"..."
"I think I should go back to Shangjia tomorrow to pay respects to my parents."
"..."
After hearing her words, Yuwen Ye's expression softened somewhat, but his eyes became even more complicated. He remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Shang Ruyi and said, "Do you know that tomorrow is the first day for both of us to enter the palace?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi was also taken aback.
She then came to her senses—indeed, tomorrow would be their first day moving into the palace. Although it was just moving house, it was no ordinary house, but the imperial palace. As the Prince and Princess of Qin, it would be their first time living in the palace, and there would certainly be many people and matters to deal with.
More importantly—
After entering the palace, he was accompanied not only by his former young mistress, now the Princess Consort of Qin, but also by another concubine waiting for him in the palace.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment: "Then—"
But before she could finish speaking, Yuwen Ye coldly said, "Never mind."
"ah?"
“You should go back to the Shang family. I can’t stop you from paying respects to your parents. Even the Emperor would allow it.” As he spoke, he glanced at her indifferently: “Family is the most important person to you.”
After saying that, without waiting for Shang Ruyi to say anything more, he stood up and ordered the people outside, "Someone, bring in that box of jewelry from outside."
When Shang Ruyi looked back, she realized that he had also sorted out her jewelry and placed it on top of several large boxes outside, which were also sealed. Upon hearing his voice, Chang Wan immediately returned and carried the boxes back into the room.
Yuwen Ye said calmly, "When you go back, don't be too plain."
Shang Ruyi didn't know whether she was happy or because some inexplicable unease was welling up in her heart, making her heartbeat a little unbalanced and her breathing uneven. After a while, she whispered, "Mmm."
At this point, she remembered what had just happened. So she asked, "By the way, my brother—did you recommend him?"
Yuwen Ye glanced at her indifferently and said, "Hmm."
really.
The unease in her heart was immediately dispelled, and Shang Ruyi forced a smile, saying, "Thank you."
"..."
"However, why is he the Military Advisor of the Weibei Road Military Secretariat?"
"Military Advisor in the Military Records of the Weibei Road Campaign?"
Upon hearing these words, Yuwen Ye's brows furrowed immediately. He turned to look at her and said in a deep voice, "I recommend Shen Wuzheng to serve as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
