Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 783 - 595: I Will Be There for Every Challenge_3
What kind of life will she and her brother face in the future?
Perhaps, as a woman without much talent, her path ends here, but Shen Wuzheng is different. He possesses talents and wisdom no less than Yu Wenye’s. Moreover, when he left comfort behind and refused the Shen Family’s protection to pursue his studies, it was evident that he had expectations for himself and hopes for the future. Given the opportunity, he will definitely become a capable minister of the court and realize his ambitions as a man.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath in her heart.
It seems that the time is just right!
Not only does each new Emperor bring new courtiers, but also because when Chu Yang moved the capital to Luoyang, he left a group of officials to handle the political affairs of Daxing Palace. However, none of these people have been managed or have experienced significant events, and they have simply occupied their positions without contributing over the years. After Yu Wenquan ascends the throne, he will certainly need to employ a new batch of capable officials.
Shen Wuzheng is the best candidate among them.
Therefore, she absolutely cannot cut off Shen Wuzheng’s smooth path to officialdom! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Putting aside her own relatives and only talking about Yu Wenye—although today Yu Wenye used Empress Dowager Jiang to block Yu Wenqian and indeed prolonged the Crown Prince’s struggle, thereby giving himself an opportunity, Shang Ruyi knows that his real offense was not against Yu Wenqian, but against his father, who is now the Emperor, Yu Wenquan!
From the past, Shang Ruyi could feel that when two strong-headed people meet, even if they are father and son, there will be a deep-rooted confrontation.
Yu Wenye is too assertive as a son. He might have been beneficial and appreciated by Yu Wenquan when he was only a courtier, but after becoming the Emperor, with his supreme authority, he may not tolerate such a strong-willed and independent son who might even try to surpass him.
Both Yu Wenye and Yu Wenquan need someone gentle around them.
In the past, it was Guan Yunmu.
Now, it can only be herself.
Even without thinking too much, Shang Ruyi knows that she will face a future full of dangerous twists and turns, as if embracing a tiger and sleeping with a dragon. As of now, going back to the Shen Family to reunite with her uncle and aunt and having a heartfelt conversation with her brother seems like a good opportunity for her to rest well, gather her strength, and prepare to face the challenging future!
Thinking of this, she tilted her head to find the most comfortable position resting on Shen Wuzheng’s shoulder.
Shen Wuzheng looked down at her, and those eyes, always detached and cold, were filled with a doting smile.
As the carriage carried the two through the bustling streets and the whispers surrounding their names, it traveled for more than half an hour before finally returning to Shen Mansion.
However, as they got off the carriage, they looked up and saw another carriage already parked at the entrance.
Shen Wuzheng’s expression was slightly startled.
Ever since the epidemic crisis began to clear, not only all the civil and military ministers but also their relatives and old friends knew that Yu Wenquan’s grand ambitions were about to be realized. To propose the word "Surrender" and achieve significant merit through this event naturally earned Shen Shiyan honor and an important position. Therefore, these days, there was an endless stream of people visiting their house for greetings, to forge connections, or even to flatter, to the point that Shen Wuzheng could only order the doors closed to avoid trouble.
But today, a carriage was parked here, indicating that the guest had already gone inside.
Who could it be?
Why would the family let a guest in at this time?
He exchanged a glance with Shang Ruyi, who was also somewhat surprised, but neither of them said much, only hastening their steps into the Shen Mansion with a mutual understanding.
Shortly after, they arrived at the reception hall.
Even before getting close, they saw Shen Shiyan and Yu sitting in the host’s seats, with a stranger sitting lower on Shen Shiyan’s left. Shen Shiyan’s face awkwardly wore a small smile while speaking softly, while Yu had turned her face away completely, rolling her eyes every time Shen Shiyan spoke.
It seemed this guest was someone she highly disdained and had absolutely no desire to acknowledge.
Then, as the guest seemed to say something, Shen Shiyan’s face showed a moment of hesitation, and Yu impatiently turned her head, seemingly wanting to say something, but upon glancing up, she noticed her son and niece coming over.
Immediately, her face beamed with a smile. "Wuzheng, Ru Yi, you’re back!"
"Yes."
Shang Ruyi replied first, and together with Shen Wuzheng, they walked into the reception hall. Shen Wuzheng’s pair of eyes, always reserved and sharp, remained focused on that guest; meanwhile, the guest, upon hearing Shang Ruyi’s voice, seemed to tremble slightly. After a moment of hesitation, they slowly turned their head towards them.
A face both familiar and unfamiliar appeared before them.
