Along the way, even though they could clearly hear the laughter and shouting of every passerby, the two people inside the carriage did not speak, an inexplicable, oppressive atmosphere lingered around them.
Shang Ruyi knew very well that this aura emanated from Yu Wenye.

Before, when he asked if she minded him visiting the Empress Dowager, he indeed seemed somewhat angry, but afterwards, he clearly brightened up. Although it was unclear what the catalyst was, it was indeed him who asked her to find Su Qinglan, while he sat in the carriage waiting for her.
Why did his mood change so completely in just a short while?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi cautiously turned to look at him. Yu Wenye, sitting beside her, was still the same as usual, his back ramrod straight, eyes slightly closed, long lashes covering his thin eyelids, seemingly motionless. Only the unintentional light flutter of his long lashes suggested that something seemed to be troubling him inside.
