Yan Shaoxuan glanced at Yu Wenye in front of him, then at Yu Wenquan not far behind, who was still instructing a few ministers. He pondered for a moment and finally took a deep breath, saying, "Very well."
"..."
"I'll go back now to give the order to release the Minister of Rites."
"..."
"And please do not forget that 'handwritten order', Great General."
"Of course,"
Yu Wenye nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Yan."
Shang Ruyi was also overjoyed and hurriedly expressed her gratitude. Yan Shaoxuan did not linger either but bid farewell with a cupped fist salute and quickly turned to leave, clearly to handle matters.
Until his figure also disappeared ahead, Shang Ruyi finally let out a sigh of relief. She immediately turned around and said to Yu Wenye, "Thank you!"
Yu Wenye glared at her.
Shang Ruyi also realized there was indeed no need to say that word between them. Saying it would not only feel formal but also unpleasant, so she just smiled at him again.
