Shang Ruyi took several deep breaths, still keeping her head down, and asked softly, "Who is the person behind him?"
"..."
Although Yu Wenye felt even more puzzled inside, he glanced at her but did not ask further questions. He then looked up at those people again and said, "Doctor of Universal Discussion, Imperial College, Capital Commandant..."
Shang Ruyi asked urgently, "Is there a lady?"
"A lady?"
Yu Wenye examined again carefully and whispered, "No ladies. It seems these officials' family members haven't been granted titles, so they didn't bring their wives."
No?
Shang Ruyi was stunned, quickly raised her head to look over there, and indeed, beside Dong Bizheng and Yu Dingxing, there were other officials, but no sign of any ladies.
Earlier, that feeling of almost a soul leaving her body had completely vanished.
Could it be that the fleeting figure was really just a mistake in what she saw?
