"I—"
At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She suddenly realized that if she saved Shen Shiyan and his wife, she, along with all of them, would have nowhere to go.
Time was slipping away bit by bit, like the never-ending flow of the river ahead.
Shang Ruyi couldn't utter a single word.
Driven by passion, she had decided to rescue her uncle and aunt, determined not to let them suffer in Lingnan. But it was only now that she realized that even if she saved them, the days ahead might still be filled with endless suffering.
After all, the court wouldn't allow exiled criminals to be snatched away. Once the troops were deployed to apprehend them, they would have no place to stand, and peace would forever elude them.
However, she couldn't not save her uncle and aunt.
At this moment, the feeling of having nowhere to go and the despair of being unable to escape chilled her to the bone, even causing her hands gripping the reins to stiffen slightly.
