Chapter 88 She is not a bad person.
By the time they finished drinking, it was past 7 PM.
Although no one was completely drunk, they were all a little tipsy. When they left Tinghe Tower, a cool breeze blew by, which made them feel much more comfortable. In addition, some lanterns had been hung on both sides of the street. Although they were not lit, they still created a unique scene. So, the group decided to take a walk along the street instead of rushing to get into the carriage to go home. The carriage followed slowly behind them.
Such a comfortable night was something Shang Ruyi hadn't dared to dream of just a few days ago.
Just as she was pacing, Lei Yu suddenly walked up behind her, bumped her shoulder, and then went to Yuwen Ye's side.
Shang Ruyi frowned: "You—"
But after thinking about it, I swallowed that bit of resentment.
Just then, a soft laugh sounded from behind.
Turning around, she saw Pei Xingyuan, who walked up to Shang Ruyi with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind. Lei Yu has liked Feng Chen for a long time, so he doesn't like you."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi stared at him in astonishment.
It wasn't because he said Lei Yu liked Yuwen Ye—anyone with eyes could see that—but because could he say such a thing to his face?
However, looking at Pei Xingyuan's smiling face, he really didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.
Seeing Shang Ruyi's conflicted look, he smiled and said, "We all know about this, and Lei Yu himself doesn't hide it. By the way, do you know why only a few of us brothers came to be your best men and women when you got married in Taiyuan?"
Shang Ruyi shook her head.
Pei Xingyuan laughed and said, "Because when we tried to persuade Lei Yu to go, she told us that if we let her attend your wedding, she would bring her family's soldiers to kidnap the bride."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's eyes widened suddenly.
Pei Xingyuan said, "That's why no one dared to advise her, which is why you didn't see her in Taiyuan."
"..."
"But you don't need to worry about anything else. She's not a bad person. She just needs to vent her anger."
"..."
Shang Ruyi didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, she managed a dry smile: "Oh..."
In truth, given Yuwen Ye's renowned reputation, she knew she would inevitably encounter such a situation. After all, even disregarding his family background and abilities, his unparalleled handsome appearance alone was enough to make these young ladies from noble families risk their lives for him—however, she never expected it to be a woman like Lei Yu, whose love and hate were so intense, almost blindingly so.
It's no wonder she finds me so annoying.
However, if she knew that this marriage, which she so vehemently hated, was just a transaction, and that she was merely a tool for Yuwen Ye to achieve some goal, would she be overjoyed?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Yuwen Ye, who was walking ahead of her.
Even in the darkness of night, his tall figure remained so upright and outstanding. Even walking on a dimly lit street, he could attract the attention of many people, and many young women and wives would secretly look at him with shining eyes.
Look at them, look at Lei Yu walking beside Yuwen Ye, her eyes shining like stars.
Think about yourself again.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
Just then, Yuwen Ye, who was walking in front, stopped. He turned around and looked at Shang Ruyi, who was still some distance behind him.
Shang Ruyi looked at him too—what's wrong?
But then Yuwen Ye walked up to her and said, "You're walking so slowly, I thought you were gone."
"...!"
Was he waiting for me to walk with him?
