Chapter 1049: Chapter 764: Dragon or Worm?
Actually, last night, during their discussion, neither Yu Wenye nor Shang Ruyi mentioned the ’highest outcome’ among the three possible results, which is the present conclusion.
It’s Chu Ruoyan who bears this outcome.
Only in this way can the whole matter be perfectly resolved, and ultimately turn against Aunt Hui.
But neither of them spoke up, as due to Chu Ruoyan’s past identity and disposition, Yu Wenye couldn’t bear it, and Shang Ruyi ’didn’t dare’ to let her bear it all, fearing she would harbor resentment, making it difficult for them to coexist peacefully afterwards.
Unexpectedly, this time, she stepped forward!
She truly is different from before.
And before them stands the best opportunity for their reconciliation.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi stepped forward, smiling as she said to her: "Actually, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time these days."
Chu Ruoyan looked at her: "What is it?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "I’ve really been wanting to eat that hawthorn cake, but it got messed up and didn’t make it to my mouth, I’ve been thinking about it all these days."
"..."
"I wonder if Lady Chu would be willing to wash her hands and make it again for me?"
Chu Ruoyan’s face immediately turned red.
Actually, it was she who first approached Shang Ruyi, proactively making the hawthorn cakes to draw closer their relationship, but it was disrupted, and she couldn’t bring herself to lower her face again, yet unexpectedly, Shang Ruyi brought it up herself, ’thickening her skin’ to ask for something, making her feel embarrassed and apologize for her stubbornness.
She thought for a moment, hesitating: "But I’m confined for half a year."
Yu Wenye then said: "Though you are confined, it doesn’t mean we can’t visit you."
"..."
"If you’re willing to make it, I’ll come and get it."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruoyan’s eyes lit up, looking up at him, her joy surged like a sudden tide, almost swallowing her whole.
She subconsciously wanted to smile but held back, forcing her lips down, softly saying: "If Second Brother is willing to make the trip, then I won’t refuse. Fortunately, there are still some materials in Jinyu Garden, enough to make a few more pieces."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Alright, let the Prince accompany Ruoyan back to discuss the arrangements for the coming days, I’ll head back to Qianqiu Palace first."
With these words, she nodded to them, then turned and walked towards Qianqiu Palace.
Standing at the entrance of Jinyu Garden, the two watched her leave. Yu Wenye didn’t say anything, but he understood, simply shaking his head, turning to Chu Ruoyan gently saying: "Let’s go, I’ll accompany you inside."
Chu Ruoyan bit her lip softly and said: "Mm."
Thus, the two of them turned and entered Jinyu Garden.
Although following Shang Ruyi toward Qianqiu Palace, Tushere kept looking back, constantly watching Yu Wenye and Chu Ruoyan entering Jinyu Garden, she pouted, hesitated many times but finally couldn’t help saying to Shang Ruyi: "The Princess is too generous."
"Hmm?"
Shang Ruyi glanced back at her, but upon seeing her dissatisfied face from repeatedly looking back, she immediately understood, responding calmly: "Shouldn’t I be generous?"
Tushere accompanied her into the hall, helping her to sit down before saying: "After all, the Princess is pregnant, Prince Qin should accompany you, how could he accompany her?"
As she spoke, she poured a cup of hot tea into Shang Ruyi’s hand.
Having spoken so much earlier in Liangyi Hall, sweating coldly, at this moment her mouth was indeed a bit dry, this cup of tea was just in time. Shang Ruyi felt that although Tushere was careful in her work and loyal to her, her excessive loyalty made her a bit biased and lacked generosity, so she glared at her and said: "Do you know that Lady Chu has been confined by His Majesty the Emperor for half a year?"
"..."
"Half a year, unable to leave Jinyu Garden, only able to see a few people, although the Prince says he will visit her, at most he can only stand at the door."
"..."
"Do you know what that feels like?"
"I,"
Tushere wanted to say something but hesitated for a moment, could only shake her head, pouting: "I don’t know."
Shang Ruyi pointed at her and said: "Not knowing others’ sufferings isn’t your fault, but belittling others’ hardships is your problem."
