Chapter 80: Given the chance, I also want to rebel.
Shang Ruyi was startled and quickly turned around to see a person lying on the roof of the carriage, peeking out and grinning at them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yuwen Cheng.
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, while Yuwen Ye remained stern: "What were you doing there?"
Yuwen Cheng asked with a grin, "Second brother, sister-in-law, who were you talking to just now?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi exchanged a glance and couldn't help but frown.
The fact that Xiao Yuansui was hiding in their group was meant to be kept secret from everyone, which is why Yuwen Ye had the carriage parked between them. However, Yuwen Cheng still managed to see it.
Shang Ruyi immediately said, "It's nothing, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
Yuwen Cheng laughed and said, "You're trying to fool me again. I know that person must be Xiao Yuansui, the rebel, right?"
Yuwen Ye said, "What rebellion or not, that's none of your business. Go back and eat your meal!"
"What's so hard about saying that? Rebellion is so much fun! If I ever have the chance, I'd love to try it out."
"...!?"
Shang Ruyi was dumbfounded.
This child, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, keeps talking about "rebellion," and he actually wants to try it out?!
As expected, Yuwen Ye's face also darkened. He stared sharply at Yuwen Cheng and said, "Yan Jie, I've told you before, you should think twice before you speak. If you keep your mouth shut like this, you'll bring harm to your whole family sooner or later!"
Yuwen Cheng, however, said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that?"
"..."
"Actually, who in the world with troops doesn't want to rebel these days? It's just that some people don't dare to say it, and some people don't dare to do it. I've said what everyone is thinking, is there anything wrong with that?"
Yuwen Ye's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Just as he was about to explode, Aunt Hui's voice came from the other side: "Third Young Master? Third Young Master, where are you? Come back for dinner quickly."
It turned out that they had already prepared the meal.
Hearing her voice, Yuwen Ye's expression softened slightly. Aunt Hui had already found their way over. Seeing that they all looked displeased, she smiled and said, "Second Young Master and Young Madam haven't eaten yet? I'll take Third Young Master over to eat first."
Shang Ruyi quickly smiled and said, "Aunt Hui, go ahead and get busy."
Aunt Hui then pulled Yuwen Cheng and turned to leave.
Watching their retreating figures, Shang Ruyi's heart sank. She turned to look at Yuwen Ye, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.
After a moment of silence, Yuwen Ye said, "My mother's health has been poor since giving birth to Yan Jie, so the child was entrusted to Aunt Hui for upbringing. Aunt Hui is very good to him."
"..."
"It's grown up to be what it is today."
Shang Ruyi immediately understood.
No wonder Yuwen Cheng is so domineering and arrogant. At home, he dares to say almost anything and no one dares to offend him. Although he and Yuwen Ye share the same father and mother, the two are not close at all.
So that's the reason.
She was just a little surprised that Yuwen Ye would take the initiative to talk to her about his family.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "It's not a good thing to be too lenient with a child. To not teach a child how to fight is to abandon him."
Yuwen Ye's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at her.
Shang Ruyi said, "Let's think of a solution slowly. She's only fourteen or fifteen years old; her temperament hasn't settled yet."
"..."
For some reason, the two of them ended up talking about raising children. Even though they weren't a real couple and weren't that close, Shang Ruyi felt a little awkward after saying those things.
Yuwen Ye remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a deep "hmm".
