"..."
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and remained silent.
By doing this, she acquiesced.
Shen Shiyan and his wife looked at each other and became even more confused.
You know, Yu Wenye was praised by the officials in the court as "unparalleled in the world", but the eldest son of the Yuwen family was no less generous. It was rumored that he was knowledgeable and handsome. Although he was indifferent to fame and fortune due to some special reasons, he almost never went out. In the officialdom, he has no military exploits, but he has a calm temperament, extraordinary wisdom and bravery, and is also the leading figure among the sons of aristocratic families.
Why, when they first discussed marriage, Shang Ruyi didn't object, but after a serious illness, she refused to marry him?
Shen Shiyan couldn't help but ask, "Why? Has Yu Wenzu offended you?"
"..."
"Still, have you heard anything bad about him?"
Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.
But she still bit her lower lip and said nothing.
When Mrs. Yu on the side saw this, she said: "Forget it, since Ruyi doesn't want to say anything, don't ask anymore. Anyway, the marriage has been decided."
Seeing her like this, Shen Shiyan could only sigh: "Okay."
Who would let this be the daughter left behind by his most beloved little sister.
Shang Ruyi's mother was the youngest and most favored daughter of the Shen family. Eighteen years ago, she married Shang Ruohong, the third son of a world-famous businessman, who was then General Zuo Xunwei's Cavalry General. Qin Se and Ming were very loving. Soon after their marriage, they gave birth to Shang Ruyi, and the family was considered harmonious and happy.
But the good times did not last long. Within a few years, the couple died of illness one after another.
As soon as the Shang couple passed away, the young Shang Ruyi was kicked out by her half-brother and almost lived on the street. Shen Shiyan felt sorry for her and took her into his home to educate her, treating her as his own.
And her marriage has always been a big stone on Shen Shiyan's heart. Now that the dust has settled, he can finally explain it to his little sister and brother-in-law.
At this time, Mrs. Yu walked to the yard, looked at the dozen or so rosewood boxes, and waved to them: "Come here quickly and see what betrothal gift the Yuwen family has given."
Just opening the first one shocked them.
"Ouch!"
Yu covered her mouth and exclaimed: "What a great gesture!"
Inside was a half-human-tall white jade statue of Guanyin. It was exquisitely carved and had a warm texture. It looked extraordinary at first glance.
Mrs. Yu asked people to open a few more boxes. They were either famous calligraphy and painting, or antique jades. Shen Shiyan and his wife had seen the world, and they had never seen such a thick betrothal gift.
This made Shang Ruyi feel a little flattered.
She thought that their repentance this time would make Duke Sheng Guo dissatisfied, but she didn't expect that they still paid such a heavy betrothal gift.
However, something seems wrong.
Before she could think about it, Shen Shiyan on the side had already said solemnly: "Meixian, time is running out, we must hurry up and buy a dowry for Ruyi. The betrothal gift is so heavy, you must not be rude."
Yu smiled and said, "This is natural."
In the next few days, after being busy with Shang Ruyi's condition for a while, the Shen family began to happily get busy with Shang Ruyi's marriage.
During this period, a small "accident" happened.
Just three days after the marriage was set, Shang Ruyi was called into the room by Mrs. Yu. While helping her pack her clothes, she blushed and listened to her talk about a woman's private matters. Just as Mr. Yu lowered his head and spoke in her ear. On the wedding night, I suddenly heard news from the palace——
When Duke Sheng Guo entered the palace to meet the Holy Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor Long Yan was furious and wanted to kill him!
