Chapter 98: A Glimpse into the Future

After lunch, Wen Wan began to feel sleepy. Just as she lay down to sleep for a while, a little maid hurried into the yard.

The little maid said that Captain Zhou had an argument with someone in the garden and a fight had broken out. They were afraid that someone would be killed, so they asked Wen Wan to go over and mediate.

With Shen Yu's ability, even if he really had a dispute with someone, he would definitely not be the one who suffered.

So Wen Wan was not worried at all.

However, it was the attitude of this little maid that made Wen Wan feel wary.

Which little maid would have a clear expression of watching the fun on her face when calling for people to stop a fight?

They didn't even want to pretend, they really didn't take Wen Wan, the sickly girl, seriously.

They have already set up the stage, and it seems unreasonable for Wen Wan not to go over and cooperate?

Wenwan lifted her skirt and followed the maid into the garden.

As soon as I walked into the garden, I saw two people snuggling in the pavilion in the distance.

The pavilion was surrounded by white gauze curtains. When the wind blew, a corner of the curtain was lifted up, revealing Madam Yun's smiling face.

There were seven or eight maids and old women serving around the pavilion. When they saw Wen Wan appear at the gate of the yard, they all looked at her intently.

At that moment, Wen Wan felt that she had become the protagonist of gossip.

This method of creating misunderstandings was so clumsy that it was outrageous, but when she saw Shen Yu hugging another woman with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

The reason why we are human is that we cannot control our emotions.

So, she didn't even have to act, her expression just fell apart.

Shen Yu also looked at her and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

He seemed very unhappy, with impatience written all over his face.

Madam Yun pretended to have just discovered Wen Wan's existence. Rouyi gently pushed Shen Yu's chest and lowered her head shyly.

"Zhou Lang, please loosen your grip. Your wife is here to find you. What are you going to do?"

She told Shen Yu to loosen up, but she lay on Shen Yu's chest motionless.

Wen Wan saw this scene and found it quite funny.

Shen Yu patted Madam Yun's shoulder and said soothingly:

"Xiaowan will know about our affairs sooner or later. Xiaowan is a sensible person. You are gentle and virtuous. She will definitely be happy to have a sister like you. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Xiaowan is not one of those jealous women. Naturally, she won't blame us."

Yes, a man having three wives and four concubines is the mainstream marriage concept in this feudal society.

Hearing this, Wen Wan unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt with her hands hanging on both sides.

Intellectually, she knew that these words were just polite remarks made by Shen Yu for some reason, and were meant for Madam Yun to hear.

But when these words came out of his mouth, for a moment, Wen Wan saw the future in him.

Shen Yu had mentioned before that he wanted her to be his concubine.

In his eyes, it seemed that her status was only suitable for her to be his mistress or concubine.

So, even if they love each other, once they are together, there will be other women around him.

What is happening before my eyes is fake, but if I continue to entangle with him, it may become true one day in the future.

Sometimes, Wen Wan felt that maybe she was too smart, and she was always looking ten steps ahead, which was why she worried about the possibilities in the future.

In the pavilion, Shen Yu saw Wen Wan's expression.

She was staggering, looking like she had suffered a blow and was in a state of disarray, which made him feel a hollow pain in his heart.

Subconsciously, he didn't want to continue acting.

He wanted to push Madam Yun away, but before he could move his hand, he heard a gentle and cold voice.

"Well, I'm so happy to have a good sister like Madam Yun... I can't say enough."

I don’t know if it was Wen Wan’s reaction that made Mrs. Yun dissatisfied. After she said this, Mrs. Yun looked uninterested.

"It's boring."

Madam Yun pushed Shen Yu away and said coquettishly, "Mr. Zhou, it seems that your wife doesn't care about you that much. I won the bet."

Wen Wan looked surprised.

Shen Yu came over and explained, "Mrs. Yun wanted to make a bet with me earlier. She said that if a woman cares about a man, she can't stand him being affectionate with other women. So she wanted to test your reaction..."

Wen Wan looked up and asked, "Then what? What if I care? What if I don't care?"

Shen Yu: “…”

He didn't know how to answer, but Mrs. Yun walked up to him slowly and took his arm in front of Wen Wan.

Madam Yun said, "Let me answer you. I'm not an unreasonable person. If you care about him, I certainly can't interfere. I will naturally not provoke him."

She changed the subject, "And now, it proves that you don't care about him anymore, then I won't be polite. There is no man I can't get."

If Wen Wan didn't know that many of her male favorites were imprisoned in the prison cells of Lishui Villa, she would have really thought that she was so deeply in love with Shen Yu.

It sounded so nice, but in her opinion, the bet just now was just a funny trick by Mrs. Yun.

Wen Wan sneered, "Mrs. Yun's behavior is so disregarding of propriety and righteousness."

Madam Yun raised her head slightly in triumph. "Don't be so ungrateful. If Zhou Lang wasn't so handsome, do you think I would save you? I'm only doing this for his sake."

"These days, Zhou Lang has been taking care of you day and night. He is such a good man. How can an ordinary woman like you be worthy of such a good man?"

At that moment, Wen Wan felt that Mrs. Yun’s thought process must be different from that of normal people.

This man is nice to other wives. How can he be nice to you if you take her away from him?

If he can be snatched away, then his kindness to his wife is not true, but insincere, and this man is even less worth snatching away.

This is a paradox in itself.

Can anyone be normal if their judgment is affected by this paradox?

madman!

Mrs. Yun is a lunatic.

Wen Wan felt a chill down her spine, and suddenly felt a surge of fear. A madman could do anything.

After thinking it through, Wen Wan immediately backed down and decided not to have any verbal argument with her.

Wen Wan forced a dry smile, "Well, I'm just an ordinary woman. I'm not worthy of him. You're all right. You guys continue, pretend I wasn't here. I'm going back to take a nap."

After saying this, she turned around and left without looking back, leaving everyone in the garden stunned.

"She just left like that?"

"No noise or trouble?"

"Your husband is gone, and you're still thinking about taking a nap. How can you be so careless?"

Shen Yu watched Wen Wan's back as she left. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable regret.

Had he done something wrong by dragging her into this drama?

She was indeed smart and would act according to his words, but why was it that her reaction was exactly what he needed, but he did not feel happy at all, but instead began to panic unconsciously?
