After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

As a popular upstart at the time, Lu Yan didn't have too many gorgeous decorations in his study.

There was a small case by the window with a tea set on it. The few furniture items made the whole room seem a bit empty, which matched his cold temperament very well.

After looking around for a week without seeing anyone, Shen Ruoyan walked towards the inner room.

Passing around a bamboo curtain, Shen Ruoyan saw Lu Yan sitting behind the desk, writing something, but did not raise his head when he heard the sound.

Shen Ruoyan stood still in front of the desk and said proactively:

"I heard that Your Majesty has been busy with business recently, so I went to the kitchen to make a cup of chicken soup to replenish Your Majesty's health."

Although she said it nicely, Shen Ruoyan put the food box aside casually, with no intention of taking out the bowl of "carefully cooked" chicken soup.

Lu Yan didn't answer, and a few birds chirping outside the window made the room seem even quieter.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Thinking that the only person who could help her now was the person in front of her, Shen Ruoyan approached Lu Yan shamelessly. In order to relieve her embarrassment, she picked up the ink placed beside the inkstone and slowly rubbed it for him.

"Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that my mother was covered in blood..."

Thinking of her family members in prison, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but blush, and her voice sounded a little crying. Trying to control her emotions, Shen Ruoyan talked about her worries about her parents.

At the end, Shen Ruoyan carefully stated the purpose of her trip:

"I wonder if you can think of a way for me to meet my family?"

Lu Yan didn't seem to hear what he finally said, he still lowered his head and concentrated on writing something.

After all, she was asking for something from him. Shen Ruoyan couldn't say much, so she could only stand aside patiently and continue to help Lu Yan polish his ink.

After a long time, the man finally put down the wolf hair in his hand and raised his eyes, his stern face carrying a sense of oppression.

Shen Ruoyan was thinking about how to break the deadlock when she was suddenly looked at so coldly by Lu Yan. She was so frightened that she pursed her lips unconsciously and almost dropped the ink on her hand, like a panicked little rabbit.

Lu Yan was obviously only three years older than her, but his demeanor was more intimidating than those old men who had been immersed in official circles for many years.

Shen Ruoyan felt her fingertips numb, so she could only lower her head and continue rubbing the ink to hide the panic in her heart.

"You just thought of begging me now?"

In the quiet study room, the man's sweet voice dragged through the air, with an indescribable sense of laziness and dignity.

Shen Ruoyan's movements froze. Indeed, if those people were not willing to help, she would never have come to ask Lu Yan.

Because of what happened before getting married, Shen Ruoyan knew that her existence was a shame to the Lu family.

Shen Ruoyan was very sensible. After marrying Lu Yan, she deliberately reduced her presence, did not attend any activities, did not participate in things in the mansion, and rarely even hung out in the general's mansion.

On weekdays, she and Qin'er would stay in their courtyard, and once the courtyard door was closed, they would live their lives happily.

But today, she really had no choice.

Thinking of her family members who were still in prison, Shen Ruoyan put aside her pride and begged humbly for the first time in front of Lu Yan:

"Please help me, sir."

"why?"

Shen Ruoyan raised her head and met Lu Yan's eyes. The man's eye sockets were deeper than ordinary people. When his face was expressionless, it was impossible to guess his inner thoughts.
