Chapter 52 My Good Daughter-in-Law
Huang Gongyi's smile faded, and a look of shame appeared on his dark face.
After a long silence, he finally said, "I've thought about this for a long time. Although you lost to me during the day, you are a woman who lives a secluded life, while I am a man who trains every day. It's unfair to compare us like this. If we're talking about your skills as a woman and my skills as a man, then I am definitely not as good as you."
"..."
"Therefore, I have come here to tell the young mistress—I, Huang Gongyi, am impressed by you."
"..."
“I will no longer mistreat the prisoners of war. If the young mistress ever needs my help, please just ask. I will never say no.”
"...!"
Shang Ruyi never expected things to turn out this way. Although Huang Gongyi was short-tempered, he was a straightforward and unrestrained person. In fact, when he said these words, the slight blush on his dark face made him seem even more adorable.
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Master Huang, I dare not accept such a compliment."
"..."
"Actually, there's something I didn't have a chance to say to Master Huang. Although I don't agree with how you treated those prisoners of war, I know you did it to avenge me. So, I want to thank Master Huang."
Upon hearing this, Huang Gongyi seemed somewhat smug and puffed out his chest: "You're welcome."
His appearance made Shang Ruyi smile even more.
Huang Gongyi said, "Alright, I've said all I need to say. Farewell, young mistress."
After speaking, he bowed solemnly to Shang Ruyi, then clasped his hands in a salute to Yuwen Ye, before turning around and striding out. His back view was as free and unrestrained as a gust of wind.
Watching his retreating figure, Shang Ruyi's smile lingered for a long time.
Meanwhile, Yuwen Ye, who had been silently watching the meeting, had a thoughtful expression on his face. He slowly lowered his head to look at Shang Ruyi, and something seemed to be flashing in his eyes.
Shang Ruyi looked up and met his deep eyes, paused for a moment, but immediately said, "Let's go back."
"Um."
A family was sitting around the round table. Upon seeing the two of them return, Yuwen Yuan immediately asked, "What's wrong? What's that guy doing here?"
Yuwen Ye sat down and recounted the events of the day.
Yuwen Yuan immediately said, "You're being ridiculous. Taking Ruyi to the army is one thing, but how could you let her compete with that group of people? She's your wife!"
Yuwen Ye lowered his eyelids and did not argue.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "Father, please don't be offended. Actually, it was Ruyi who talked too much today, which is why people disliked me."
Yuwen Yuan sighed before saying, "You are still too young and naive. Swords have no eyes; what if they hurt you? Ye'er is too reckless."
"Father, don't blame my second brother."
Yuwen Yuan glared at Yuwen Ye again before stopping, but then he suddenly laughed and said, "However, this matter was handled very well."
Shang Ruyi was taken aback: "Huh?"
Yuwen Yuan laughed and said, "This Huang Gongyi, relying on the fact that he has been by my side since he was a child, has made a lot of military achievements. Sometimes he doesn't even listen to me. Ye'er has told him about his mistreatment of prisoners of war countless times and even deducted his pay, but it's all to no avail."
"..."
"I didn't expect that you, Ruyi, could solve this troublesome matter so easily."
"..."
“He doesn’t easily submit to others, but now he’s so impressed with you,” he said, even smiling with a hint of pride. “You really are my good wife!”
