Chapter 104 Do You Like It?
Wen Wan walked over reluctantly.
The manager said nothing more and led them along another path.
After walking a few steps, the manager kicked a stone and almost fell. He squinted his eyes and squatted down. Only when he got closer could he see clearly that it was a stone.
It turns out he is nearsighted. No wonder he could mistake people.
Wen Wan thought so and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a scene of singing and dancing in the main hall. Before you even get close, you can hear the endless sounds of stringed instruments.
The guard at the gate stopped the steward and said, "Wait a moment, the dancers are still dancing. Wait until they are done, then you can go in and dance one by one."
The person in charge was just a guide, so he naturally had no objection and asked the girls to step aside.
Among the girls there was one with big eyes who looked very smart. She took out a silver bag that she had prepared long ago and put it into the guard's hand.
"Brother, what's going on in there? Is there anyone General Shen is interested in? Do we still have a chance?"
Seeing this, the other girls all pricked up their ears to listen.
Wen Wan took a breath of cold air.
Is it really General Shen who has come?
Why doesn't he just stay in the border town? Why is he running here?
Oh, right, iron ore.
Wen Wan guessed that it must be Achai who passed the news that someone in Fengcheng was selling iron ore privately to General Shen, so he came to the scene in person.
Apart from anything else, if it was Shen Yu who came, then her chances of escaping would be much greater.
On this side, the guard took the money and answered the girl with a smile.
"Of course there is a chance. General Shen has high standards and hasn't even taken a fancy to a girl yet. You guys should perform well later."
When the girls heard this, they immediately became restless and began to tidy up their clothes. One of them was so cunning that she even opened her collar a little on purpose, revealing a piece of white skin.
They are opera singers, not prostitutes.
Wen Wan glanced at him with disdain and looked away.
Soon, the dancers filed out one after another.
Wen Wan followed the others inside and looked straight ahead after entering the door.
She had long wanted to know what her nominal husband looked like, and today she was finally able to see it clearly...
Well……
Didn’t see clearly!
The man sitting at the top was wearing black armor and a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
Wen Wan complained inwardly, "We're at a banquet, and he's wearing a mask. He can't even eat a single bite of the food in front of him. What a weirdo."
Although she thought about it, she didn't dare to look at it any longer.
The girl in front has already started singing while pinching her fingers together. The melodious singing voice, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, is quite interesting.
Prefect Lin was in his early thirties, with a goatee. He swayed his head and hummed along with the music. He did not look like an official, but rather an idler listening to the opera in the theater.
Suddenly, General Shen, who was sitting next to him, knocked on the table.
When Prefect Lin looked over, he saw General Shen raise his hand and gently point in the direction of the door.
Prefect Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. "That girl is quite good. Although she's dressed a little simply, her figure is well-proportioned and she's quite a sight to behold. I thought none of the girls in Fengcheng could catch the eye of the general. Please wait, I'll have someone call her over."
Before Wen Wan could figure out what was going on, a servant came over and asked her to come.
Amidst everyone's envious gazes, she stood in front of General Shen with a bewildered look on her face.
To be honest, Wen Wan felt very guilty at the moment.
After all, she was one of the concubines in the backyard of the man in front of her. Although they had never met formally, with this identity, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, always feeling the fear of being hunted at any time.
Seeing her standing there motionless, the Governor Lin said in a deep voice, "You're pretty, but why are you so clueless? Come sit down beside the General and serve him."
Wen Wan: "Oh."
She gritted her teeth and knelt beside General Shen. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the wine jug and poured him some wine.
While pouring the wine, she furtively observed the people around her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this person had a familiar smell.
Unfortunately, before she could figure it out, General Shen pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin, and brought the glass of wine to her lips.
Wen Wan: "...Uh, I don't drink."
General Shen hadn't said anything yet, but Governor Lin beside him became anxious.
"How can you be so ignorant of the rules, girl? The general tells you to drink, so you drink! If you don't drink, you are not giving the general face!"
Prefect Lin spoke with his mouth, but General Shen took direct action and did not give Wen Wan any chance to refuse.
He applied force with his fingers, causing Wen Wan's jaw to ache. As soon as she opened her mouth, a glass of wine was poured into her mouth.
She thought it was just one glass of wine, but after that one glass there was another pot!
What a cruel heart! What did you want to do by getting her drunk?
With her limited alcohol tolerance, after drinking a pot of wine, she immediately became unconscious and felt as if the whole world was spinning wildly.
"The magic of love is spinning, the sweet smile of missing you is right before my eyes, but I am afraid, love is only a moment..."
It’s just singing a song, she can do it too!
Unfortunately, she was drunk and didn't know that at the moment her magic voice penetrated the wall, everyone stared at her in shock, with expressions of disbelief.
Governor Lin coughed awkwardly twice, "Haha, this girl sings quite well..."
He wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, but he couldn't figure out how to praise the unpleasant singing so that it wouldn't seem out of place.
General Shen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a very light voice.
"Yeah, that's interesting."
Lin Taishou immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, very interesting, very interesting. General Shen is indeed a man of good taste."
General Shen smiled faintly, "Master Lin, since this young lady has drunk too much, how about...I take her back to her room to rest?"
It was an unspoken agreement between the men, and Governor Lin was happy to see it happen, so there was no reason for him not to respond.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, General. I've already arranged the wing rooms. General, please treat this place as your own home, so please don't be polite to me."
General Shen stood up and picked up Wen Wan in his arms in front of everyone.
Wen Wan felt dizzy and her body felt lighter. When she looked up again, she met a pair of light black pupils.
"That's weird, why does your voice sound exactly like Chai's?"
She muttered to herself, her voice as soft as a mosquito.
Only General Shen, who was very close to her, heard her words clearly.
He raised the corner of his mouth, lowered his head, leaned close to her ear and said, "I am Ah Chai."
Wen Wan was stunned and stared at him with a dazed look, the black mask looking a little ferocious.
But she raised her hand foolishly, and her fingertips had already touched the edge of the mask.
"Don't think I'm a fool just because I'm drunk. I won't believe you unless I see it with my own eyes!"
General Shen turned his head to avoid her hand and said with a smile: "If you want to see it, you can answer a question for me first. If you answer correctly, I will show it to you."
Wen Wan waved her hand and said boldly, "Ask!"
General Shen smiled and said, "Do you like Ah Chai?"
