After returning home, the entire Yuwen Mansion fell into an atmosphere of joy and ecstasy. Even Jin Yun, who was usually steady and reserved, couldn't help but smile. When he was busy, his steps were as cheerful as a light swallow.
Not to mention those young servants.
The waiter Shang Ruyi took a hot bath and started to comb her hair. Tusheer couldn't control the strength of his hands several times, which made Shang Ruyi frown. Finally, he couldn't help but said: "Be gentle, it's all necessary." You've made me bald."
Tu Sheer hurriedly let go of his hand, but couldn't help but smile at Shang Ruyi in the bronze mirror: "Miss, please forgive me, I'm so happy."
"..."
"I've never been so happy these days."
Wuxue, who was making the bed beside him, also turned around and said with a smile, "Yeah, who would have thought that not only was the Duke not punished when he came back this time, but he also rescued the second young master. It's a good thing that can't even be thought of."
Tusheer turned back to her and said, "Are we coming to the end of the world?"
Seeing their joyful expressions, Shang Ruyi smiled, but she was not too ecstatic. On the contrary, there was always a calm light in her eyes.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creak.
The three people in the room all turned around at the same time and saw Yu Wenye wearing a white gown walking in from the outside.
After more than half a month of detention and interrogation, although he was not tortured, he still suffered a lot. After coming back, he took a hot bath and washed away the dirt all over his body. At this time, his whole body felt... I feel a little refreshed, but I can also see that I have lost a lot of weight. This thin body has lost some of its strong murderous aura, and his expression is a little gentle due to fatigue. His long, slightly moist hair is scattered behind his head. When he walked in, he still had a faint fragrance after bathing. A bit of an elegant feeling.
Shang Ruyi only glanced at it, and suddenly his face felt a little hot.
Yu Wenye looked at her sitting in front of the dressing table and immediately turned her face back, with a faint smile on her lips.
He walked in and said, "You all, go down."
Tushe'er and Wuxue looked at each other, laughed secretly, saluted hurriedly to him, and then slipped out.
He also closed the door.
There were only two people left in the room.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but become nervous, but she felt that she shouldn't be nervous at this time. After all, when facing him alone, she dared to say even more embarrassing words. What did such a confrontation mean?
But, it’s just nervous.
In order not to show off her timidity, she decided to find something to do. She happened to see the comb Tu Sheer put on the table and reached for it.
But just as she touched the comb, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and covered the back of her hand.
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been stabbed, and he quickly retracted his hand.
But that hand picked up the comb and began to slowly comb her long hair.
Shang Ruyi's heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest, but he was a little stiff, sitting upright in the distance. After a while, he carefully raised his eyes and looked at his own image reflected in the bronze mirror.
And behind him, Yu Wenye. ….
But before I could see the expression on his face clearly, I heard a gentle and low voice coming from above my head: "Why don't you speak?"
Shang Ruyi hesitated: "What did you say?"
Yu Wenye seemed to chuckle and said: "You asked people to bring things in twice, but you didn't leave a word. I thought you must have kept all the words until we met. Who knows, it turns out that No."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart moved slightly.
She did not ask Chang Wan to bring the message, but what surprised her was that Yu Wenye actually knew that it was not her who sent the things twice.
Thinking about it, he must have specifically asked the person who delivered the thing.
Thinking that he was locked up in Dali Temple, facing Wang Shaoji's difficulties and the interrogation of Dali Temple Shaoqing, his days must have been like years.
, but still pay attention to this little thing. Somehow, my face felt hot again.
So does the heart and mouth.
She was silent for a while and said softly: "But I don't know what to say."
Yu Wenye seemed to chuckle again.
He said, "Well, I'll ask the question and you'll answer it."
Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, wondering why this person had been imprisoned in Dali Temple for more than ten days and contracted the bad habits there. He went home and started interrogating others. But at this time, she still nodded obediently - this She nodded and immediately pulled her hair, but she felt that Yu Wenye's hands were very soft and did not hurt her at all.
She said, "Just ask."
Yu Wenye said: "Why did you tell them that the people who attacked Kou Yunliang's team were Wang Gang's troops?"
Shang Ruyi suddenly turned around: "You too -"
Although they were talking about business, for some reason, the two people seemed to have a different kind of emotion in their eyes. When they looked at each other, that emotion seemed to be transmitted from each other's eyes to each other's hearts.
Shang Ruyi's heart seemed to be touched by something.
She turned around immediately in a panic.
The person behind him coughed slightly after a brief panic, and then said, "Yeah."
Therefore, his confession to Dali Temple was the same as her answer.
Shang Ruyi only felt that his heart was beating hard.
These days, apart from Yu Wenye's safety, what was on her mind the most was the answer she almost risked giving that day. She was not completely sure, but she firmly committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. But in my heart, I had a little bit of worry, worrying that maybe I didn't have such a tacit understanding with him.
But I didn’t expect——
At this moment, she was feeling happy and fortunate at the same time, and there seemed to be some indescribable emotions stirring in her heart. Yu Wenye behind her asked again: "Why don't you just tell the truth?"
Shang Ruyi said softly: "Because I am the one who takes them there."
"..."
"No matter what Kou Yunliang was doing at the time, Jiang Kesheng and his group's attack on the imperial team was treason and a serious crime. If you look at it this way, I will definitely be held accountable."
At this point, her face felt a little hot again.
After a long silence, he said softly: "But I think you will protect me."
The hands behind her combing her silky and shiny hair paused slightly. ….
But it was only for a moment, and he continued to comb it gently, and then asked: "Are you so confident that I will protect you?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Do you still remember what you said to me on our wedding night?"
"What did I say?"
"I knew you forgot, but I remember."
"..."
"At that time, I wanted to sleep on the couch, but you refused and insisted on letting me sleep on the bed. You told me that no matter what the relationship between us was, you would not take advantage of a woman."
Speaking of this, she seemed to have returned to that cold night, and her full expectations were poured down by a bucket of cold water. It was not only cold, but also painful.
But looking back now, the cold and painful experience seems to have passed.
There was a gentle smile on her lips, and she said softly: "At that time, even if we were just trading, even if it was just a trivial matter like sleeping, you would still protect me; but now, we already have this kind of relationship - I don't believe it. , you will put me in danger."
The hand of the person behind him seemed to pause again.
But this time, he did not continue immediately. Instead, he slowly leaned down and whispered in her ear: "What is our relationship now?"
Shang Ruyi's face suddenly turned red.
She stopped talking just now because she felt that she should be more reserved than a woman in a boudoir, but she didn't expect that after she swallowed her words, he would still ask.
She shut her mouth tightly and tried her best to turn her face to the side.
But Yu Wenye seemed unwilling to let her go.
Turning her face slightly, she looked at the close-at-hand Begonia, which was already as red as stretching in the spring breeze. She was delicate and pretty, and there was even a faint, familiar fragrance emanating from her fair and rosy skin. , making him recall that night all at once.
The night I almost had her.
Suddenly, his breathing became a little tight, and it was even hotter when it blew on Shang Ruyi's cheek. Shang Ruyi even shrank unbearably and curled up his neck.
Yu Wenye took a deep breath and slowly straightened up.
As soon as he left, a chill immediately filled the place he occupied before. Shang Ruyi, whose heart was already beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest, felt a little inexplicable loss and a little bit in his heart when he was soaked by the chill. Surprised.
At that moment, she even thought——
Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her face and looked up at him.
His eyes were full of doubts.
But she saw Yu Wenye looking down at her and saying with a half-smile, "There are still a few days until the one-month period."
"...!"
As soon as these words came out, Shang Ruyi's face almost burned!
Of course she had not forgotten that when they were at Luokou Ferry, the doctor gave both of them a medical order - no sexual intercourse within one month.
Although at that moment, her heart was indeed throbbing, and she could read a hint of desire in his hot breath, she never expected that Yu Wenye would directly say this.
He still remembers this.
Still counting the days.
There are still a few days left until they——.
Just thinking about this, Shang Ruyi was so embarrassed that he could not speak. He wanted to bury his head in his chest. After a while, he squeezed out a weak whisper from his throat: "Stop talking..."
Yu Wenye laughed.
Probably because he felt that he couldn't go too far, he didn't say any more shameful words and just continued to comb her hair. Shang Ruyi finally escaped from the fatal shame and slowly raised his head to look in the mirror. His cheeks were still red, but his long hair had been neatly combed and spread around his head, like a piece of bright black silk satin.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but said: "The comb is good. I didn't expect you to comb a woman's hair."
Yu Wenye slowly put the comb back on the dressing table and said, "I have been practicing it in my heart for a long time."
"practice?"
"In Dali Temple, when I am bored, I will think of interesting things."
"..."
"I thought that husband and wife would have fun painting their eyebrows, but your eyebrows - you don't need to paint them anymore. Adding even one more point would be too heavy. So I thought, after I come out, I'd comb your hair."
"..."
"I was practicing in my mind how to comb your hair for more than ten days. I finally got used to it and I came out."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't help but turn around and look up at him. Her cheeks were still crimson but her eyes were brighter than the brightest stars in the night sky: "You have been in Dali Temple for more than half a month. Are you just thinking about me?"
"..."
"It's just me, right?".
