Even as she sat in the carriage, leaving the house, Shang Ruyi still felt a bit downhearted.
Tushere noticed her demeanor and gently asked, "Miss, are you upset because the young master can't accompany you home today?"
Shang Ruyi immediately replied, "No, I'm not."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "It's the Emperor's decree from the palace; he couldn't refuse, so why would I be upset?"
Despite her words, there wasn't a hint of a smile on her face.
Seeing her melancholic expression, Tushere thought for a while and then smiled, saying, "If it weren't for matters at the palace, the young master would definitely accompany Miss home. Everyone knows you two are inseparable, and many outside envy Miss for marrying such a perfect match."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned, "How would outsiders know?"
Tushere laughed, "The family loves to speak about it. Such a good marriage, who wouldn't be delighted to see?"
