Shang Ruyi's expression changed immediately after she got on the carriage. The pain in her back made her twitch. Tusheer hurriedly supported her, opened her collar and took a look -
Only a blood-red whip mark was seen, extending from the back of the neck, it was too horrible to look at.
Tu Sheer gasped and said distressedly: "Miss, why don't you cry out in pain?"
Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly and said, "You silly girl, how can you stop feeling pain just by saying it hurts?"
What's more, she was already embarrassed enough just now, and she didn't want to look even more embarrassed in front of Yu Wenye.
"But--"
"Stop it, help me see if there's any bleeding."
Tu Sheer carefully inspected it and found that although the whip marks were red and swollen, luckily there was no skin rupture and bleeding due to the layer of clothes.
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. You can give me some medicine later and it will be fine. I was worried just now that if I was really injured, it would affect -"
At this point, she blushed and stopped.
If he had heard this before, Tu Sheer would definitely have teased her a few words, but at this time, he was so distressed that he could not speak. He only leaned close to her collar and blew her a cool breeze to relieve her pain.
Shang Ruyi smiled and patted her shoulder.
When he raised his head again, the carriage shook, and the curtain on the window opened a gap, and he saw the familiar figure outside.
Yu Wenye held the rein in one hand and rode the horse leisurely in front of the carriage.
When we met at Shen Mansion before, I thought he was tall and strong. Looking at him now, I realized that his shoulders were very broad and his back straight. Even when he was jolting on a horse, he looked like a tall man. Like a javelin.
After the scene just now, looking at his back makes me feel a little reassured.
Shang Ruyi's face started to turn red from his neck.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and she let out a sigh of annoyance. Tusheer asked nervously: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I just forgot to tell him about the person we met when we left the city."
Tusheer breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was a big deal. Anyway, the second young master has to escort us into the city. When we settle down later, it won't be too late for you to tell him."
"Too."
Shang Ruyi nodded and leaned on the car board again, looking at Yu Wenye's tall back through the gap in the swaying curtain. His heartbeat, which had calmed down after being rescued, seemed to be a little chaotic again for some reason.
Probably because he was too nervous when he was escaping before, when he relaxed now, his whole body felt a little weak. Shang Ruyi leaned softly on Tu Sheer's shoulder. Tu Sheer said softly: "Miss, please sleep for a while, wait." I'll call you when you get to Taiyuan City."
"……Um."
Shang Ruyi nodded, almost losing the energy to say another word, and quickly closed his eyes.
When she woke up in the dark, it was already night.
She opened her eyes drowsily, and what she saw was a simple but clean room, and she was lying on a small bed. The mattress was soft and the curtains were low, which was very comfortable.
Shang Ruyi moved and was about to call someone when Tu Sheer opened the door and walked in. Seeing that she was awake, he came over happily: "Miss, are you awake? Don't move around. The medicine has just been applied to your back." "
Shang Ruyi reluctantly turned his neck and took a look. Sure enough, the whip marks on his back were coated with a layer of ointment. It was refreshing and cool, and it was not so painful anymore.
She asked: "Where is this?"
Tusheer said: "This is the Duke's villa on the outskirts of the city. The Duke has arranged for us to live here. We will come here tomorrow to welcome the bride."
"oh,"
Shang Ruyi nodded, looked around again, and said softly: "Where is he?"
