Just when Shang Ruyi was so embarrassed that she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl through, a voice came from the corridor——

"Second Young Master?"

Turning around, I saw Uncle Chen, the steward of the Shen Mansion, walking over.

Seeing someone approaching, Yu Wenye took his eyes away from Shang Ruyi. With just this move, Shang Ruyi felt as if a thousand kilograms of weight had been lifted from his body, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Uncle Chen walked to Yu Wenye's side, smiled apologetically and said, "Why did the second young master come here?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him and said nothing.

Uncle Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng Guo is talking to our master and his wife over there in the lobby. Second Young Master should go there first. Our young lady is in good health and cannot see guests for the time being."

"just……?"

Yu Wenye turned to look at Shang Ruyi: "Are you sick?"

Uncle Chen rushed to say: "Yes, Miss caught a cold half a month ago and has been ill for a long time. She has just recovered in the past two days."

"Half a month ago?"

Yu Wenye's eyes flickered.

Half a month ago, that is, when the two families were discussing marriage.

Shang Ruyi also knew that the housekeeper was trying to smooth things over for her, so she felt relieved and said softly: "Uncle Chen, since the Duke has already arrived, I, as a junior, should naturally go and pay homage to him."

After finishing speaking, he said to Yu Wenye: "Second Young Master, please."

Yu Wenye glanced at her, turned around and walked out.

Uncle Chen was still hesitant: “Miss, you—”

Shang Ruyi smiled and waved to him, indicating that he didn't need to worry, and then walked to the lobby with Yu Wenye.

Along the way, the two of them were silent, one behind the other. Yu Wenye strode forward. He was tall and had long legs. Shang Ruyi almost had to trot to keep up with him.

Fortunately, the yard is not big, and after a while, we arrived at the side entrance of the lobby.

Before I even entered, I heard a deep and deep voice coming from the lobby, as loud as a thunderbolt——

"Okay! You guys haven't been able to explain it for a long time, and I'm too lazy to talk to you. But this time, it's your Shen family who's sorry for my Yuwen family!"

"..."

“How can a marriage be a trivial matter?!”

"..."

"Do you know whose family my son was originally planning to marry?!"

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly thumped. He looked up at Yu Wenye, and his steps seemed to sink.

It turned out that he had an agreed marriage, but it was ruined by himself.

No wonder Sheng Guogong was still talking to his uncle and the others, but he had already rushed to his room, making him so angry. The person who promised to marry him should be his lover...

Shang Ruyi felt guilty and said softly: "Isn't that right?"

Before she finished speaking, Yu Wenye had already walked forward quickly without looking back, and rushed directly into the lobby: "Father, don't say any more!"

The sounds in the lobby immediately fell silent.

Shang Ruyi had no choice but to follow in.

However, when she walked into the lobby, she subconsciously held her breath.

In the lobby, sitting on the main seat was her uncle, Zhili Lang Shen Shiyan. This thin and elegant middle-aged man was considered a prominent figure in the court. At this moment, he was being scolded to the point where he could not even raise his head; and his wife, Yu, who has always had a fiery and straightforward temperament, could only smile bitterly and apologize again and again at this time.

And standing in front of them was the person who just spoke.

This man was about forty years old, with a tall build and dark skin. Standing in the center of the lobby, he looked like a black iron tower. With his thick eyebrows and wide beard, he looked even more imposing.

This man is none other than Duke Sheng Guo—Yu Wenyuan!

As soon as she saw him, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but murmured two words -

"Great Ancestor..."
