Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 567 - 469: The Other Side Didn’t Win, They Didn’t Lose_2

Xue Daotong said, "That is only natural."

He nodded, then his face darkened and he gritted his teeth, saying, "It’s just unexpected that the Second Young Master encountered so many incidents on this expedition. Not only did he fall ill, but someone even attempted to assassinate him. As for Song Yu, what could possibly give him the audacity to conspire against the court’s Great General? We must get to the bottom of this!"

The expressions of everyone present were complex.

Although Yu Wenqian expressed a desire to set off quickly, Xue Daotong, being the confidant of the Duke and having traveled from afar, obviously couldn’t just turn back right after arriving. Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang had to host a banquet to entertain this special envoy; moreover, when Yu Wenqian arrived three days ago, they couldn’t host a banquet due to a fire incident, so this time, it was both a welcoming and farewell feast.

However, Shang Ruyi did not attend this banquet.

Firstly, as Yu Wenye’s condition had just shown improvement, she needed to stay by his side; secondly, as a woman without her husband present, it would be improper for her to attend a men’s drinking party.

Thus, she stayed behind.

After being busy for almost a day and a night, it was only then that Shang Ruyi managed to take a bath, cleansing herself of bloodstains and dust. Upon returning to her room, she heard Tushere’s voice—

"I’ve already said, let me handle these things."

As Shang Ruyi walked in, she saw Tushere and Wo Xue vying for her recently changed clothes, preparing to wash them. Tushere grabbed the copper basin forcefully and said almost rudely, "You, go get your sleep!"

Although Wo Xue was quite capable, her previous actions had left her feeling guilty, and facing Tushere, her spirits faltered somewhat.

At this moment, she was left speechless.

As the atmosphere grew awkward, Shang Ruyi slowly walked into the room, observing Tushere’s stiff demeanor. Then she looked at Wo Xue with a smile and said, "You haven’t slept for days, and She’er wants you to rest. Listen to her, alright?"

"..."

Wo Xue looked at her, then glanced at Tushere, who turned her head away. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After a moment, Wo Xue softly said, "Yes."

With that, she lowered her head and turned away.

Looking at her back, Shang Ruyi smiled, then turned to glance at Tushere’s still stiff face, and laughed, "You too, can’t you communicate kindly?"

"Hmph!"

Tushere maintained her disdainful expression, but as she turned to look at Shang Ruyi, her eyes softened, and she said, "Mu Xian and the others told me, Miss, you have had it really tough these days and almost lost your life."

Speaking of which, her eyes turned red.

Shang Ruyi knew she would have to face this from the girl, so she smiled and replied, "Is there anyone without hardship? Especially as the General’s wife."

Tushere muttered, "But other General’s wives don’t have it so hard; they eat well, drink well, and wear gold and silver."

"..."

"Unlike Miss, who even joins the battle."

Seeing her indignation, the smile on Shang Ruyi’s face grew deeper, "They don’t do it because they don’t want to."

"..."

"But I want to."

Tushere looked at her, bewildered, "Miss..."

Shang Ruyi smiled and didn’t explain further. After some thought, she asked, "She’er, did you deliver those medicines into Daxing City?"

Tushere immediately replied, "Yes, Jiang Kesong and the others delivered the medicine into the city. I didn’t enter the city; I just followed your instructions, taking some of the medicine and went directly to Fufeng."

"On your way, did you notice anything unusual?"

"Unusual?"

Tushere was puzzled, "What unusual thing?"

Seeing her utterly clueless eyes, Shang Ruyi fell silent, while Tushere thought for a moment and asked, "Miss, are you worried that the medicine might lead to something?"

"I can’t say for sure, it just feels like this matter might not be so easily resolved."

"This matter?"

Tushere was taken aback again, then glanced at Yu Wenye on the bed, and said softly, "Miss, are you referring to the matter of the master’s illness?"

Shang Ruyi didn’t speak immediately but after some thought, she nodded lightly.

She said, "I understand the origins of his illness, but I don’t understand why someone knew in advance that he would contract it."

"..."

"It’s as if they really had... foreknowledge."
