Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Chapter 1068 - 769: Are You... Uncomfortable? (Part 2)

Until her whole body was pressed tightly against his, she gently uttered a "Hmm."Then she added, "Actually, you don’t need to worry so much about this; I can take good care of myself. After you left today, I had She’er accompany me to the Thousand-step Corridor for a walk. After I came back, I took a nap, read some books, and even had two bowls of rice for dinner."

Yu Wenye laughed and said, "Not just two bowls of rice, you also had a plate of rouge goose breast, a bowl of perch fish, and a bowl of sweet soup."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback. How did he know everything?

She immediately realized that he had definitely asked Tushere after returning, so he knew exactly what she had eaten.

While silently cursing She’er, the "traitor," in her heart, she blushed for her good appetite and murmured, "Why do you care about what else I ate? My point is, if military affairs demand it, you don’t necessarily have to stay by my side. Important matters are at stake."

Yu Wenye said, "I understand, but rest assured, there’s nothing major."

"..."

"Actually, in this matter, Shen Tu Tai was just being too cautious. It’s likely because this was his first time leading troops alone after aligning himself with me, and he encountered Yan Jie’s antics, worried that something might happen which I couldn’t explain to Father, so he took such an action."

After speaking, he sneered coldly, "If it were in the past, none of these messages would have returned."

Shang Ruyi nodded, uttering an "Oh."

She remembered Shen Tu Tai’s great reputation was not only because he could fight but also due to his fiery temperament. He joined Wanggang Village because he defied authority, killed his superior, and with his nature, he certainly wouldn’t be polite to others in the army. However, now that he had Yu Wenye as his master, he had to consider the situation of Yu Wenye, who had shown him kindness, even if not thinking for himself, which led to this change from his previously hot-tempered ways.

Furthermore, with Shantong’er, Nie Chong, and several other brothers by his side, he couldn’t act recklessly.

It seems Yu Wenqian’s words during the day weren’t wrong either.

People continue to cultivate themselves endlessly.

Thinking of Yu Wenqian, Shang Ruyi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she looked up at Yu Wenye. He was yawning slightly, with rare weariness between his brows as he lay beside Shang Ruyi, one hand still holding her, and the other reaching over to tuck the quilt corner around her, saying, "Well, it’s late, quickly—"

"Wait a moment."

Shang Ruyi said, "I have something to tell you."

Yu Wenye lifted his eyelids to look at her, perhaps because he was lying down and smelled the faint fragrance from Shang Ruyi, intoxicating him to sleepiness. His gaze became even more drowsy, and he asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Shang Ruyi said, "Today, when I was walking at the Thousand-step Corridor, I met the Crown Prince."

"...!"

Almost instantaneously, the weariness in Yu Wenye’s eyes vanished as if burned away by fire, and his gaze immediately became sharp and alert, looking at Shang Ruyi, "Him? You—"

After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath and calmed down, "What did he do to you? He—"

Although Yu Wenye tried hard to control his emotions, Shang Ruyi, being so close, still felt in that instant that his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and at this moment, his breathing became rapid. She didn’t know why he suddenly became so tense because of this matter—perhaps it was because previously Yu Mingyue and Aunt Hui’s hawthorn cake incident nearly harmed her, causing him panic whenever he heard she encountered people from their side, unable to remain calm.

But what could the Crown Prince possibly do to her?

Shang Ruyi found his question laughable, so she promptly said, "What could he do?"

"...Oh?"

"I met him and Duke Shenwu at the Thousand-step Corridor discussing matters, planning how to organize the land estates and population census in Central Pass. But by the time I arrived, they were done talking, and the Commandery Prince had already left."

"..."

"However, the Crown Prince knew about my school building in the southern part of the city and talked to me for a while..."

Shang Ruyi slowly recounted the suggestions Yu Wenqian had given her during the day. After finishing, she sighed and said, "It’s a pity I considered myself shrewd, but when I started working, I realized there were so many loopholes. If the Crown Prince hadn’t told me those things today, I fear I would have wasted the Silver Coin, achieving little, which would just make people laugh."

She rambled on, not noticing that Yu Wenye’s gaze had turned cold.

After a while, Yu Wenye suddenly asked, "Why didn’t you come to me?"
