Chapter 30 If you're not living with a clear head, it's better not to live at all.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart sank.
Regardless of anything else, as the mother-in-law, she should remember to bring a gift to her daughter-in-law today, even if she forgets to bring something else.
Unless, it was intentional.
Could it be that she also knew that Yuwen Ye only saw this marriage as a transaction, and therefore did not intend to truly regard her as his daughter-in-law?
If that's really the case, then my days in the Yuwen family are probably not going to be easy.
Just as Shang Ruyi's mood was becoming increasingly heavy, Yuwen Ye's voice sounded behind her.
"Father, Mother."
He had changed into a light blue long robe and walked in with an elegant air. Although his clothes were simple, his tall and handsome figure made the simple attire even more striking.
Shang Ruyi glanced at it only once and immediately lowered her head.
Yuwen Ye strode in, first bowing to the Duke and Duchess, then walking to her side and bowing, asking, "Have you finished serving tea?"
Shang Ruyi nodded gently.
Seeing the couple like this, Yuwen Yuan smiled so much his eyes narrowed. Guan Yunmu then asked, "Ye'er, didn't you go to the military camp today?"
Before Yuwen Ye could speak, Yuwen Yuan said, "Are you confused again? Newlyweds, why would you go to a military camp?"
After saying that, he turned to the young couple and smiled, "Ye'er, you don't need to go to the military camp these few days. Today, take Ruyi out for a stroll, see the scenery of Taiyuan City, and—in short, you two should have a good time."
Yuwen Ye replied, "Yes."
So Yuwen Yuan immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and the couple went outside. Just as they reached the door, Yuwen Yuan seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, remember to come back tonight so the family can have dinner together."
"yes."
Yuwen Ye responded and then walked out with Shang Ruyi.
Upon reaching the side gate, they saw that the servants had prepared an ordinary carriage, not luxurious at all. But since they were just going out for a stroll, there was no need to attract too much attention. Shang Ruyi got into the carriage with him, while Tu She'er and several other servants followed.
Soon, their carriage left the street and headed towards the central market of Taiyuan City.
The road wasn't very smooth, and the carriage swayed constantly as it traveled.
Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi sat side by side in the carriage. Because the carriage was small, the two of them were almost touching. Shang Ruyi sat upright and pressed her hands firmly against her knees to keep herself from getting too close to the person next to her.
"There's no need to be so tense,"
Yuwen Ye's voice rang out from inside the carriage. Shang Ruyi turned her head and saw him with his eyelids lowered. He said indifferently, "Now that you're out, there's no need to act anymore."
"..."
Shang Ruyi paused for a moment, then said, "You're very clear-headed. You know when to act and when not to act."
Yuwen Ye said calmly, "If a person doesn't live with clarity, it's better not to live at all."
"..."
These words were like a heavy slap across Shang Ruyi's face.
She knew how out of her mind she had been last night when she had so desperately wanted to take this marriage, which she had never wanted, seriously.
If Yuwen Ye knew what she was thinking at that moment, he would probably laugh his head off.
Shang Ruyi gritted her teeth, her face burning uncontrollably, and said softly, "Even so, you should have told me first this morning before doing that."
Yuwen Ye said coldly, "I'm not used to discussing things with others."
Shang Ruyi also said coldly, "Then I advise you to change this habit."
"..."
Yuwen Ye raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"
