Shang Ruyi was stunned—What, is there a problem?
Facing her slightly puzzled gaze, Xiao Yuansui's eyes appeared much deeper.
Ever since he participated in the rebellion, faced military defeat and loss of power, and was cast adrift, he was confronted daily with the court's pursuit and endless fear. Even those who were once close to him now avoid him like the plague, let alone those instances where he tried to take refuge with old acquaintances, only to be betrayed.
For a long, long time, he almost lost all sense of trust between people, or even some basic emotions.
Yet, this Young Madam Yu Wen, when speaking with him, although she wasn't particularly polite, still managed to express herself with simple, direct emotions, even saying "please" to him!
Her clear eyes seemed to know nothing about anything.
Xiao Yuansui let out a light laugh and shook his head gently, indicating no issue.
He solemnly accepted the package of dry food Shang Ruyi handed over and said, "Thank you."
