Chapter 92 Different Intentions?
"What!?"
Everyone looked surprised.
The eunuch in front just left, probably not even gone far, how come another one has come?
Although she was puzzled, she dared not be negligent since they were from the palace. So, Aunt Hui immediately gathered all the servants in the courtyard. After a while, a young eunuch walked in with a smile.
This young eunuch was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He seemed clever and alert, and compared to the arrogant eunuch from before, he was much more humble. As soon as he entered, he bowed to Yuwen Ye and said, "Second Young Master."
Upon seeing him, Yuwen Ye's expression immediately became complicated.
He returned the greeting without showing any emotion, and then said, "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"
The young eunuch smiled and said, "Second Young Master, I have come here specifically to invite you to the palace."
"Enter the palace?"
"Yes, we have something to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned. The previous eunuch had just left without mentioning this, and now this little eunuch said he was there to invite Yuwen Ye to the palace. Could it be that the two of them were receiving different imperial decrees?
What was the emperor thinking?
Although he had doubts, Yuwen Ye could not disobey the palace's orders. He thought for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, Eunuch, I will make the arrangements and then go to the palace with you."
The young eunuch seemed relieved and smiled, "Then, I'll wait for the Second Young Master outside."
After speaking, he nodded to everyone and then turned and left.
Yuwen Ye watched the little eunuch walk away before turning around and saying to Shang Ruyi, "It seems I won't be able to go to the Shen residence today."
That's true. If it were to go to the palace, it would take two hours just to go there and back.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "Then, I'll do it too—"
Yuwen Ye shook his head and said, "I have already sent the visiting card. If I don't go, it would be disrespectful to your uncle and aunt. How about this, you go back by yourself today, and I will accompany you back to the Shen residence in a couple of days to apologize to your uncle and aunt."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "What are you talking about apologizing for? This is the Emperor's decree, there's nothing you can do about it."
Yuwen Ye looked at her but said nothing.
Shang Ruyi said, "Then you should hurry up and go to the palace. Don't keep the emperor waiting, or you'll be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
Yuwen Ye nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, Shang Ruyi called out to him again: "You, come back as soon as possible, try to come back as soon as possible."
Today is, after all, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if the two of them can't go back to the Shen residence together to visit her uncle and aunt, she secretly hopes that she can spend the night with him.
Looking into Shang Ruyi's eyes, which were sparkling with a glimmer of hope, Yuwen Ye paused for a moment and then softly hummed in agreement.
Watching his figure disappear outside the gate, Shang Ruyi sighed with a touch of melancholy.
To say she wasn't disappointed would be a lie. Although today wasn't a formal homecoming, it was still her first time returning to her "parents' home" after marriage. She still hoped her husband could come with her, so that her uncle and aunt could be at ease knowing that she was doing well after marriage.
pity……
Just as she was lost in thought, a soft laugh sounded behind her.
Although the laughter was soft, it sounded particularly jarring at that moment. Shang Ruyi immediately turned around and saw Aunt Hui standing to the side of the hall, smiling at her.
That smile clearly carried a hint of sarcasm.
