Upon hearing this question, Yu Wenye's brows suddenly knitted together, and he turned around and stared at Shang Ruyi with stern eyes: "Why do you ask this?"
"I--"
"Who told you what?"
"No, no."
Shang Ruyi said in a panic: "I just suddenly thought of it."
"suddenly think of?"
"Yeah, it wasn't a sudden thought,"
Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered and he said softly: "I have always wanted to know - about your marriage and mine. You know that I married you after I rejected your eldest brother; and about you, who did you give up your marriage to?" , did you just marry me?"
Or should we ask, who did he miss because of himself?
"..."
Yu Wenye looked strange and frowned at her for a while before saying in a deep voice: "This matter has passed. You don't need to mind it and you shouldn't ask again. After all-"
Somehow, Shang Ruyi was a little afraid that he would say something embarrassing like "our marriage is just a deal" again, so she hurriedly took over his words and said, "I understand."
"..."
"I, I shouldn't have asked."
"..."
"I won't ask anymore."
Seeing the embarrassed expression on her face, Yu Wenye frowned again, thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, you are the young lady of the Yuwen family, you can do whatever you think you should do. But there are some things that you shouldn’t care about, let alone ask too many questions, as this will be good for both you and me.”
His tone, and even his words, have indeed softened a lot compared to the harsh, almost threatening words in the past.
Shang Ruyi also felt that he was a little bored, so why did he ask about this?
So he nodded gently: "Okay."
After saying these words, Yu Wenye lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
But just after lying down for a while, he smelled the strong fragrance of milk again. When he opened his eyes, it was Shang Ruyi who brought another bowl of steaming milk to his hand: "Drink, then go to sleep."
"..."
Yu Wenye glanced at her and picked up the bowl without saying anything.
The milk had obviously just been warmed, and the temperature was just right, neither cold nor hot. When you drank it, the rich milk fragrance and melting warmth enveloped you gently in an instant.
Yu Wenye suddenly felt a little soft in his chest, a softness that he was very uncomfortable with.
He finished the drink in a few gulps and handed the empty bowl to her. Shang Ruyi took the empty bowl and said with a smile: "You will see if you drink for a while, you won't get cramps again. I won't lie to you."
After saying that, he took the empty bowl and walked away.
Yu Wenye looked at her back and subconsciously reached out to touch her chest. The soft spot seemed to have become larger.

The days that followed were surprisingly peaceful.
Since the match with Huang Gongyi, Yu Wenye's attitude has undergone some subtle changes. Although they are not as close as a real couple, when two people get along alone, the atmosphere is no longer as cold and awkward as before, and sometimes, it is even somewhat harmonious.
Although Shang Ruyi has been living in a boudoir for these years, her travels during her childhood have given her more knowledge than ordinary women. Whenever she talks about her experiences in the Turks, Yu Wenye will listen attentively;
As for his affairs in the military, he would also tell Shang Ruyi about his affairs in his spare time. Unlike other women, Shang Ruyi was not familiar with military affairs, and sometimes she could even discuss it with him.
As for home, it’s business as usual.
Guan Yunmu still exempted her from having to worry about morning and dusk. As the new daughter-in-law, Shang Ruyi did not have to take care of the family affairs, nor did she have to be embarrassed by her mother-in-law. Except for some cold treatment, there were not many twists and turns in her life.
Just like that, August arrived in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Yu Wenye came home earlier than usual. The weather was very hot and the sun was so hot that he was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the room, Wuxue and the others immediately helped him take off his coat and placed the ice tray in the center of the room. Provide him with shade. Shang Ruyi personally poured a cup of tea into his hands, then asked Wuxue to hang up his clothes before leaving.
During this period of time, they have become completely familiar with each other and are familiar with getting along with each other.
As long as there is an outsider around, they are a loving couple who can't find any flaws.
However, Yu Wenye's face seemed a little gloomy today.
Shang Ruyi asked: "What happened?"
Yu Wenye said solemnly: "There is news from the Eastern Capital that the emperor is going to conquer Liaodong!"
