Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Deep Love Between Husband and Wife

Upon reaching the second floor, the place was much quieter.

A few private rooms were arranged along the walls, and there were several wine tables set up in the middle of the hall, but not many people were around. The waiter directly led them into a private room by the window, which, though not large, was exquisitely furnished. Outside the window was the street, offering quite a scenic view.

Just as Shang Ruyi was about to sit down, she heard Yu Wenye say, "The usual three items, send them to the Yuwen Mansion."

The waiter responded skillfully, "Understood."

Once they were seated, Yu Wenye ordered a few more dishes. The waiter brought some light tea and a few plates of snacks, then retreated.

Inside the private room, it became quiet again for a while.

Fortunately, because the room was facing the street, they could still hear the hustle and bustle from below. It was Shang Ruyi’s first visit, and she was intrigued, so she leaned by the window to take in the view. Before long, she saw a casually dressed person carrying a lunchbox out of the tavern, heading towards the Yuwen Mansion.

She turned back to Yu Wenye and asked, "What did you send to the mansion?"

Yu Wenye took a sip of tea and said, "Snacks."

"For whom?"

"My mother."

"She—"

Shang Ruyi wanted to ask more, but felt she might be prying too much, afraid of annoying him again. However, Yu Wenye seemed willing to say more when his mother was mentioned, and he put down his teacup, saying, "Mother’s health is poor, and her appetite is always lacking, but she likes the tea snacks from Xianglai Inn, though she can’t eat much. So, every month, I come to get some for her."

"Oh..."

Shang Ruyi nodded, finally understanding why he had suggested coming here for a meal earlier.

The two sat quietly for a while longer. After thinking it over, Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but say, "I heard Madam Guan—"

Before finishing, she paused herself, and Yu Wenye glanced at her.

She immediately corrected herself, "Mother..."

The word felt awkward for her to say, and Yu Wenye seemed to feel the awkwardness as well, but he just continued, "She’s been coughing several times, it seems her lungs aren’t well. With her condition, she shouldn’t overexert herself."

"..."

"The climate in Taiyuan is actually not suitable for recuperation."

Yu Wenye looked at her and asked, "Do you know about this?"

Shang Ruyi said, "When I was young, I accompanied my father on a mission to the Turkic region, and there I met a witch doctor and studied some medical skills."

She rarely mentioned her study of medicine under a witch doctor, and didn’t know why she blurted it out now. She worried that Yu Wenye would show a disdainful expression, but he didn’t, he only said, "I see."

Shang Ruyi said, "Then—"

Yu Wenye sighed and said, "Mother was unwilling to part from father, even when he was posted to Shanxi; she insisted on staying by his side."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was somewhat astonished.

She had only seen Guan Yunmu twice, and found her mother-in-law to be quite indifferent, with no obvious affection shown between her and her father-in-law. She hadn’t expected that for the sake of staying by her husband’s side, she would disregard her own health.

Shang Ruyi softly said, "A truly deep affection between husband and wife."

At these words, Yu Wenye said nothing, but turned to look out the window. Only then did Shang Ruyi suddenly remember that their marriage was merely a transaction. It felt rather ironic to be marveling at the deep affection between others.

Fortunately, the dishes were soon served.

When ordering, Yu Wenye hadn’t asked her preference. Once the dishes arrived, she saw it was a plate of roasted lamb, a bowl of lamb soup, and a dish of mixed vegetables.

The strong smell of mutton hit her directly, and Shang Ruyi frowned at once.

Yu Wenye picked up his chopsticks and said, "Please, help yourself."

"..."

She silently picked up her chopsticks and reached for the mixed vegetables.
