Chapter 93 "My Ruyi!"
Even after they got into the carriage and left, Shang Ruyi was still feeling a bit down.
Seeing her like this, Tushe'er asked softly, "Miss, are you unhappy because your husband can't come home with you today?"
Shang Ruyi immediately replied, "No."
She thought for a moment and then said, "That's an imperial decree, and he can't refuse it, so why would I be unhappy?"
Despite saying that, there was still no smile on her face.
Seeing her somber expression, Tushe'er thought for a moment and smiled, "If it weren't for the matter in the palace, the young master would definitely have accompanied the young lady home. The two of you are inseparable. Not only do your family members know this, but countless people outside also envy the young lady for marrying such a wonderful husband."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned: "How would outsiders know?"
Tushe'er laughed and said, "My family likes to say that such a good marriage is something everyone would be happy about."
As she spoke, she blushed and laughed, "Especially every morning when Wo Xue and I come to serve you, you two are so affectionate..."
Shang Ruyi suddenly remembered seeing Yuwen Ye lying next to her when she woke up that morning, and his unusually sexy appearance. She blushed and pinched Tu She'er, saying, "Don't say that!"
Tushe'er chuckled and covered his mouth.
Although she was still feeling somewhat down, Shang Ruyi felt a little relieved after her witty remark. After a while, the carriage arrived at the market. They bought some pastries to give to the Duke and his family, as well as some things to give to the Shen couple that day. Then, the carriage headed towards the Shen residence.
Along the way, the increasingly familiar scenery made Shang Ruyi feel more and more relaxed and happy.
As the carriage turned into the street where she had lived for many years, she saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the Shen family mansion, craning her neck and looking on expectantly.
It was her maternal aunt, Madam Yu!
Shang Ruyi's eyes welled up with tears, and she jumped down as soon as the carriage stopped. Before she could even stand up, she was pulled into a familiar and warm embrace.
"My beloved Ruyi!"
What I heard was Yu's aggrieved yet joyful sobs.
"aunt!"
Shang Ruyi couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears, hugging Madam Yu and crying uncontrollably. The servants rushed over to comfort her, and it took a while for the two of them to stop. Madam Yu still held onto her tightly, looking her up and down: "Let me see, has my Ruyi lost weight? And looks haggard?"
With tears in her eyes, Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm fine."
At this moment, Shen Shiyan also came out of the mansion. He was happy to see Shang Ruyi, but he couldn't show it. He could only scold Madam Yu: "Look at you, crying like this at the gate, what kind of behavior is this!"
As an official's wife, waiting for her juniors at the gate and crying is indeed somewhat inappropriate.
Mrs. Yu knew she was wrong, but she still stubbornly insisted, "What's wrong with me? I love my niece, why would I be afraid of people seeing me?"
Shen Shiyan shook his head helplessly, then looked at his niece whom he had been longing for day and night, tears streaming down his face: "Ruyi, you're finally back."
As he spoke, he glanced behind her again, a look of confusion on his face.
Shang Ruyi knew he must be wondering why he hadn't seen Yuwen Ye, so she quickly told them what had happened that day, and added, "Second Brother said he'll find another day to come and see Uncle and Aunt."
Shen Shiyan nodded: "Business is more important."
As he spoke, he muttered to himself with some doubt, "What does the Emperor want with him today?"
