Not until they had all left did Yu Wenye slowly turn around and walk back to her side.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
People around constantly held torches, bustling back and forth; the noise of human voices actually set off the quietness of this mountain ridge, making it uniquely silent. The two of them facing each other seemed to quieten down as well.
Yu Wenye said, "You—"
He wanted to say something; in fact, there were many things he wanted to ask, but at that moment, he suddenly didn't feel like saying anything.
Especially when he saw that face, now even paler in the firelight.
It was Shang Ruyi who, upon seeing him return, had a faint smile appear on her already colorless face, and said, "At last, I'm not just a trouble to you, right?"
Yu Wenye fell silent for a moment, then said, "You are the Duke Mansion's good daughter-in-law."
"...!"
These three words stunned Shang Ruyi.
