Chapter 108 He probably has other plans.
Wang Shaoji?
Upon hearing this person's name, the two subconsciously looked up and exchanged a glance.
Shang Ruyi asked, "Why is he here? Did he discover something—?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yuwen Ye quickly gave a wink to the person next to him, and Shang Ruyi understood and immediately pursed her lips.
There were not only the two of them in the room, but also Tusheer and Woxue, and a servant was standing at the door. Although these people might not be unreliable, the matter was of great importance, and it was better to have as few people as possible know about it.
So, Yuwen Ye said calmly, "You may all step back."
The three people bowed and left.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly looked at Yuwen Ye: "What is this person doing here?"
Yuwen Ye thought for a moment and said, "They must be here to deliver the Divine Arm Bow."
Shang Ruyi suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten that Yuwen Ye had made a bet with Wang Shaoji that day and won the peerless weapon, the Divine Arm Bow, from his possession. Wang Shaoji had also said that he would send the item to his residence as soon as he returned to Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, this person kept his word and arrived so quickly.
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried that he might have discovered something."
Yuwen Ye's expression was not relaxed. He said, "We still need to be careful. We don't know what Xiao Yuansui's current situation is, or if he has any clues."
"Um."
"Get ready and come with me to see him."
"Me too?"
"Didn't I just say that he came to see me, and you too?"
Shang Ruyi frowned and muttered, "If you've come to deliver the Divine Arm Bow, why are you seeing me?"
Yuwen Ye's gaze was deep as he said, "I'm afraid he has other plans. In any case, let's go and see what he's up to."
"good."
At this moment, the awkward atmosphere from just moments ago, along with the lingering tension from last night, seemed to vanish completely. The two forgot all their disagreements and became one in spirit. Shang Ruyi stood up and straightened her clothes, seemingly feeling that she looked too plain. She frowned in dissatisfaction and was about to open the cabinet when she paused.
She turned around and asked, "May I wear the jewelry my mother gave me?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye looked at her, and for some reason, his gaze deepened.
He said, "That's yours."
Shang Ruyi then took out the box of jewelry that Guan Yunmu had given her, and took out a gold hairpin and a pair of jade bracelets. She put on the bracelets quickly, but she spent a long time trying on the gold hairpin in front of the mirror, and it still didn't look right.
Just as she was about to call Tushe'er over to serve her, Yuwen Ye walked behind her, took the hairpin from her hand, and gently inserted it into her cloud-like hair. Instantly, the person in the mirror gained a touch of brilliance, as if shining.
Shang Ruyi looked up at herself in the mirror, her eyes flickering slightly, then looked at the person standing behind her in the mirror.
Yuwen Ye was also looking at her at that moment.
The two exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously looked away.
Shang Ruyi put the box away and then said, "Let's go."
The two quickly arrived at the hall.
As soon as she stepped inside, Shang Ruyi felt an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere in the hall. She couldn't help but frown. Upon closer inspection, she saw Wang Shaoji still sitting in his chair, fully armored and arrogant. Four armored warriors stood beside him, their menacing appearance suggesting they were there to cause trouble.
Upon seeing the two of them enter, a cold glint immediately flashed in Wang Shaoji's slanted eyes.
He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, and said, "Second Young Master, it's been a long time."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Shang Ruyi, and he said with a sarcastic smile, "This must be the young mistress. Please forgive me for offending her last time."
Shang Ruyi hadn't expected that he would address her directly with his first words.
That's strange. His people were hit by him before, so shouldn't they be avoiding direct contact to prevent embarrassment? Why did he bring it up again?
Yuwen Ye, who was standing to the side, said calmly, "General Wang brought so many people to my house just to apologize to my wife?"
Wang Shaoji laughed and said, "Of course not."
As he spoke, he waved his hand towards the outside.
The two looked up and saw a tall, slender woman slowly walking in from outside.
Under the sunlight, the woman wore a dark green gauze dress that subtly revealed her exquisite curves. Her skin was as white as snow, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. In particular, her slender, bright eyes had a hint of foxy charm, which could make anyone's heart flutter at first glance.
But what was unexpected was that such a beautiful woman was holding a huge brocade box, almost as big as a person.
Wang Shaoji said, "I, Wang, am willing to accept defeat. What is in this box is the Divine Arm Bow."
As he spoke, he glanced at the beauty with a cold smile, and then said, "The man and the bow will remain."
"...?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked on in astonishment.
Shang Ruyi immediately frowned and looked at the beauty holding the box. She saw that the woman's face was slightly pale, but she quickly regained her composure and simply lowered her head, silently staring at the box in her hands.
Yuwen Ye asked, "General Wang, what is the meaning of this?"
Wang Shaoji said, "A beautiful woman with rouge, a hero with a fine instrument—isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Yuwen Ye said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, General Wang. However, I, Yuwen Ye, am not a greedy person. I only want the Divine Arm Bow, which I won."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but glance at him.
Yuwen Ye's eyes flickered as he looked at the silent beauty and said, "Besides, this beautiful woman's identity is probably not simple either."
Shang Ruyi glanced at the beauty subconsciously, then looked at Wang Shaoji, only to see a hint of ferocity flash in the latter's eyes. He then smiled and said, "Second Young Master, you certainly have a good eye. That's right, she is the dancer from the household of that traitor Xiao Yuansui—Lvxiao."
Green silk?!
Upon hearing this name, Shang Ruyi was taken aback.
This Green Silk was a renowned beauty in both capitals. It is said that she once attracted a frenzy of pursuit from young noblemen, especially Wang Shaoji, who even spent a fortune in one night for her. However, for some reason, she ended up with Xiao Yuansui, who was no longer favored by the emperor and whose family status was gradually declining. After Xiao Yuansui rebelled and was defeated and forced into exile, this beauty gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Now, even if some playboys still mention her, it's nothing more than a sigh—
A beautiful, yet meaningless sigh.
I never expected her to appear here.
Wang Shao said lazily, yet with a hint of ruthlessness, "This time, although I didn't catch Xiao Yuansui, I did catch her on his escape route, so it wasn't a wasted trip."
Then he sneered, "Green Silk, Young Master Yuwen refuses to accept you. What are you going to do?"
