Chapter 6 I'll be waiting for you in Taiyuan!
Yuwen Ye stared at her silently for a long while, then suddenly said, "You don't want to marry me."
"..."
Shang Ruyi felt her breath sink.
But at this moment, she didn't seem surprised that Yuwen Ye had seen through her thoughts. It was as if those dark eyes were meant to see through everything. She just paused for a moment before saying softly, "Aren't you the same?"
She didn't even need to figure out his thoughts. Yuwen Ye was too outstanding, and he would never be willing to marry such an ordinary woman as her. Moreover, he had just mentioned that he had discussed marriage before, and considering his attitude of even rushing into her room without regard for etiquette, it seemed that he must have someone he already had in mind.
Yuwen Ye seemed to chuckle softly.
He turned and continued walking forward, and Shang Ruyi slowly followed beside him. The two were no more than half a step apart, and when they spoke, their voices were low, just enough for each other to hear clearly.
Yuwen Ye said, "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him—what did he mean?
Yuwen Ye simply looked ahead indifferently, not at her, as if these words were merely his own mutterings to himself.
At this moment, they arrived at the gate, where the men brought by the Duke of Sheng were already waiting. Several elders bid each other a reluctant farewell, and the Duke of Sheng got into the carriage. However, Yuwen Ye did not get into the carriage, but instead turned around and mounted a tall, snow-white horse.
Watching his nimble movements, a faint light flickered in Shang Ruyi's eyes.
Soon, the Duke's entourage drove forward, and just before Yuwen Ye set off, he turned to look at Shang Ruyi standing at the gate and suddenly said, "Shang Ruyi, I'll be waiting for you in Taiyuan!"
Shang Ruyi was taken aback, but he had already spurred his horse and galloped away as if riding the wind.
Looking at his agile figure, everyone around couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Even Madam Yu couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect this second young master to be so talented. I'm speechless. Have we stumbled upon a gem this time?"
After saying that, Yu Shi turned to look at Shang Ruyi, who was still staring blankly at Yuwen Ye's back, and suddenly smiled and said, "Ruyi, what do you think?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi suddenly came to her senses and blushed instantly.
Yu chuckled and then said, "Let's go back first, it's windy outside."
Shang Ruyi nodded and followed them back without saying a word.
The family walked back to the lobby. Shen Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Ruyi, were you scared?"
Shang Ruyi gently shook her head.
She asked, "Uncle, why did the Duke of Sheng come to visit today?"
Shen Shiyan sighed and said, "They originally came to the Eastern Capital to report to His Majesty. Yesterday, they happened to meet our messenger at the post station outside the city, so they came directly here today."
At this point, he added with a look of shame, "Ruyi, please don't blame your uncle for changing your marriage. The marriage with the Yuwen family was arranged by your father before his death, and we cannot go against his last wish; but you, you are unwilling to marry Yuwen Qian, so after thinking it over, we had no choice but to resort to this."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "Uncle, please don't say that. It's all because Ruyi is willful and has made things difficult for you."
Shen Shiyan waved his hand.
Yu Shi, who was standing to the side, looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "Ruyi, since you have agreed to marry Yuwen Ye, it means that you are not unwilling to marry into the Yuwen family."
"..."
"You simply don't want to marry the eldest son, Yuwen Qian, is that right?"
