Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 609 - 494: Angry_3

Finally, Yu Wenquan said, "You now—"

Yu Wenye immediately said, "Father, rest assured, my health is already fine."

Yu Wenquan seemed a bit dissatisfied that he was interrupted, but ultimately he was happy for his recovery and triumphant return, so he suppressed his slight displeasure and just nodded, saying, "That’s good."

"..."

"I also heard your elder brother mention the situation over there. This time, thanks to Ruyi for being there."

"..."

"That Ma Xu is now imprisoned, and the people from the Ministry of Justice are still interrogating him. He has a tight mouth, not confessing anything, only attributing everything to the already deceased Song Yu. But I don’t believe there’s a mouth in this world that can’t be pried open!"

"..."

"Rest assured, no matter what, your father will not let those who wish to harm you off lightly!"

Upon saying this, Yu Wenquan’s expression grew even more somber, with a hint of chilling murderous intent.

Ordinarily, he has a fierce demeanor, exuding a commanding presence without anger. At home, he tries to remain calm, but when it involves the safety of his children, he naturally has to show ruthlessness.

But — Shang Ruyi also understood, no matter how ruthless they were, even if Ma Xu’s mouth could be pried open, it would have limited use.

Because Ma Xu didn’t know much, otherwise, the others wouldn’t have let him survive.

At this moment, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything more. Yu Wenye just softly said, "Yes."

As they were speaking, Aunt Hui had already brought up the wine.

This time, the wine brought was just ordinary.

Shang Ruyi’s brow furrowed slightly — previously, when the princely heir returned home, she had brought out her precious Nine Brewed Spring and repeatedly mentioned some happy event. But today, as Yu Wenye returned triumphantly from Fufeng, not only did he nearly fail to get inside, but the wine was just ordinary.

Shang Ruyi felt momentarily annoyed.

She was about to say something, but before she could speak, she heard Yu Wenquan say, "By the way, I heard news from the palace instructing you to enter the palace today to receive your reward. Why didn’t you go?"

Shang Ruyi immediately turned to look at Yu Wenye.

Yu Wenye, staying calm, said, "I returned directly from the Ministry of War and didn’t receive any message from the palace. Since Father mentioned it, I will go to the palace to receive the reward tomorrow."

Yu Wenquan said, "Regardless, you must not neglect matters concerning the palace."

"Yes."

In the midst of their conversation, each person’s wine cup was filled with fine wine. Only then did Yu Wenquan reveal a smile, saying, "Come, let’s drink this cup first. Ye’er, this battle was a great victory, and you also eliminated the big problem, Xue Xian. Not only did you eliminate a thorn in our dynasty’s side, but you also brought fame to our Yuwen Family, resounding throughout the world. You are commendable!"

Yu Wenye said, "Thank you, Father."

Although there was still some faint discontent in her heart, after Yu Wenquan’s words, Shang Ruyi couldn’t interrupt and could only let it go, joining everyone in downing their cups of wine.

Then, Yu Wenqian also toasted Yu Wenye.

There was a flurry of cups and toasts, the atmosphere might not have been lively, but it was filled with familial warmth, fatherly kindness, and brotherly harmony. The slight displeasure in Shang Ruyi’s heart was eventually suppressed by this atmosphere.

However, after three rounds of wine, Yu Wenye looked up again and said, "Father, when we came in just now, it seemed like you were saying something to elder brother. Did something happen?"

"..."

Saying this, Yu Wenquan’s face immediately darkened.

Shang Ruyi’s heart skipped a beat.

She remembered seeing Yu Wenquan’s serious expression when they just entered, indicating it wasn’t casual conversation. Moreover — he hadn’t returned home since attending the morning court, whereas typically, the court didn’t last beyond midday, yet today he stayed until evening, evidently dealing with a significant matter.

She wondered what it could be?

Yu Wenquan slowly furrowed his brow, set down his wine cup, and said solemnly, "During today’s morning court, Historian Wei Wen Zhuo reported something."

Historian, Wei Wen Zhuo?

This was the second time today they heard that name. Both Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi exchanged a glance instinctively.

Yu Wenye asked, "What matter?"
