Yu Wenye did not answer her immediately. After taking off his outer robe and tossing it to Chang Wan, he strode over and sat down beside Shang Ruyi. The chill on his body, carried over by the wind, blew onto Shang Ruyi's face, making her even more alert.
She asked, "You didn't see Pei Xingyuan?"
Yu Wenye shook his head.
Shang Ruyi sighed. "I thought that after Su Qinglan was released, Father would ease up somewhat about them having been deceived, that he'd at least let you see him once. I didn't expect it's still not possible."
Yu Wenye said, "The people of the Ministry of Justice said that originally, the watch on him had already been somewhat relaxed. But just yesterday, Father suddenly sent an oral decree, saying that after the New Year he will personally interrogate Xing Yuan, so during this period, no one may see him again."
"What!?"
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was startled. "Father wants to personally interrogate him?"
Yu Wenye nodded. "Mm."
