Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 566 - 469: The Opponent Didn’t Win, They Didn’t Lose

Shang Ruyi was startled and instinctively said, "Why?"

But after asking these three words, she immediately bit her lip, seemingly regretting her words. After all, Yu Wenqian leaving here without urging Yu Wenye to leave Fufeng was exactly what she wanted right now, and asking for reasons was unnecessary.

But——

Looking at Yu Wenqian’s smiling, curved eyes, more doubts arose in Shang Ruyi’s heart.

Why?

Yu Wenqian simply smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, perhaps you have forgotten why I am here."

"...?"

"The court sent me here to inquire about Ma Xu’s previous military defeat. Although I hadn’t had the chance to deal with it earlier, bringing him back to Daxing for interrogation will naturally clear everything up."

"..."

"And my own purpose for being here is because of Feng Chen’s illness."

As he spoke, he looked up ahead: "Now that Feng Chen has received treatment, I no longer need to worry."

"..."

"Tell me, isn’t it time I left."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him gravely, unable to speak for a moment.

Ever since Yu Wenqian came here—no, from the moment he appeared before her, she had been very wary of him. Perhaps not out of hostility, but due to the awkwardness of their respective situations, Shang Ruyi found it impossible to interact with him calmly—every word, every smile, even every look directed her way.

Especially since he stopped Yu Wenye from dispatching troops to Fufeng, and even urged her to take Yu Wenye away from Fufeng when the battle was halfway through. All these actions made her extremely tense.

Yet now, what he said had nothing to do with the outcome at Fufeng.

Could he really just be an official executing court orders and a brother concerned about his sibling’s health...?

Is his purpose here really that simple...? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Is it really so?

If possible, Shang Ruyi truly wanted to believe in such brotherly affection, but she couldn’t help thinking—if it were true, then why, before that fire, would someone rush from Daxing City to meet Song Yu privately, and who was this "young master" that Nie Chong overheard in their conversation?

And why does he manage to "appear" at every critical point—and even before Song Yu’s confession?

After a long silence, she softly said, "Yes."

After speaking, she looked up at Yu Wenqian with a complex tone: "Thank you, elder brother."

These words of thanks seemed redundant and somewhat strange at the moment, but Yu Wenqian appeared to be oblivious, merely offering a slight smile before turning to continue onward.

Shang Ruyi followed behind him, looking at his back, her doubts deeper than ever.

Before long, the two returned to the room.

As expected, Xue Daotong had arrived with people, and indeed, after receiving Yu Wenqian’s letter, Yu Wenquan, deeply worried, immediately dispatched him to Fufeng to handle matters there. Upon hearing of his arrival, Mu Xian and Tushere came as well, informing him of all the events that had transpired in recent days.

Listening to how Shang Ruyi had mobilized Fufeng’s troops and cleverly defeated Xue Xian, pre-arranging for the purchase of medicinal herbs so Yu Wenye could receive a proper remedy, his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.

When he turned to look at Shang Ruyi, a hint of admiration surfaced on his face.

He said, "The Young Madam is indeed intelligent and brave."

Shang Ruyi quickly replied, "Uncle Xue’s words are too kind for me to bear."

"What’s this talk of ’too kind to bear,’"

Xue Daotong sighed softly, "The Duke often praises the Young Madam as the General’s Tiger Daughter. Having you as a daughter-in-law is the young man’s fortune. Now, it seems the Duke was not wrong at all."

"..."

"With the Young Madam here, there’s nothing to worry about for the second young master either."

Though his words were praise, upon hearing them, Shang Ruyi felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Because what Xue Daotong referred to was "young master."

Neither the elder young master nor the second young master, this somewhat vague term was clearly intentional, making it conceivable that Yu Wenquan, when uttering these words, likely meant before she annulled the engagement to remarry.

She lowered her head, remaining silent.

She also sensed that the person beside her briefly paused their breathing upon hearing these words.

The next moment, she heard the person next to her say with a smile, "Uncle Xue, you’ve had a hard journey. It’s my fault for not sorting things out beforehand, causing worry by sending the letter home. Now that all is well, we should promptly set off back to inform father of the situation here so that we can ease his worries."
