Shang Ruyi suddenly snapped back to reality, looked up at Shen Shiyan, and hurriedly smiled, "I'm fine."
Yu took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered something. She smiled and said to Shang Ruyi, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Wuzheng is coming back soon."
"Really?"
Shang Ruyi's eyes widened in surprise and joy, "Elder brother is coming back?"
The Wuzheng they were talking about was none other than Shang Ruyi's cousin, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Shen—Shen Wuzheng.
Shen Wuzheng was three years older than Shang Ruyi. The two grew up together like siblings, nearly inseparable and as close as family.
After Shen Wuzheng turned eighteen, Shen Shiyan originally planned to secure a leisurely position for him at the court, but he refused the family arrangement and instead joined Confucianism, apprenticing under the great scholar Li Tong of Hedong.
