Chapter 139: Heartfelt Confidence
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure you want me to say it clearly?"
Wen Wan was startled. Seeing his half-smile, she felt something was wrong. She was about to speak, "Forget it..."
Before the word "δΊ" fell, Shen Yu's teasing voice sounded.
"In order to attract someone's attention, I had to use a beauty trick. I didn't want to be naked and surrounded by a group of people, but what can I do? This woman is just interested in good-looking men."
His eyes gradually turned resentful, and he sighed deeply, "In order to attract a certain woman to find me, I even sacrificed my looks. Do you think... should she compensate me?"
When he said the word "compensation", his voice was hoarse and carried a kind of male hormone temptation.
The implication is very obvious.
Wen Wan: ββ¦β
brazen!
audacious in the extreme!
This bastard kept calling her "a certain woman", which seemed to give her face, but in fact he was being sarcastic to the extreme.
She raised her head and met his gaze calmly, "Okay, what compensation do you want?"
He was stunned. He didn't expect her to agree so readily, and he immediately became alert.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Judging from her eccentric personality, I'm afraid she has no good intentions.
"Just tell me what you want. Just say it boldly. I'm the White Moonlight... substitute for His Royal Highness the Little Prince of Mobei. I can give you whatever you want."
When the little prince of Mobei was mentioned, Shen Yu's face suddenly darkened.
"Okay, I was just kidding. There's no need for any compensation between us. It's so formal. But what's going on between you and the little prince of Mobei?"
He tracked the slave traders all the way, and when he learned that Wen Wan was picked up by the royal court, his heart sank.
His subordinates all advised him to go back home, but he was unwilling to do so.
How could he leave before confirming Wen Wan's life or death?
It was just a coincidence. It was said that the young prince of Mobei spent a lot of money to plant osmanthus trees. Countless gardeners were killed because they could not grow the osmanthus trees.
For a while, no gardener in the city dared to take this job, which gave him an opportunity.
He risked his life by disguising himself and sneaking into the royal court, but he never expected that the slave that the little prince of Mobei loved so much was actually Wen Wan.
"It's a long story."
Wen Wan restrained her expression and told him the whole story from beginning to end.
Of course, she exaggerated the grievances she had suffered during that time, especially the incident where she was almost dragged away by two strong women to be a two-legged sheep. She spoke without reservation.
She shook his arm in grievance, "I am so miserable. I almost didn't have the chance to see you alive."
The more Shen Yu listened, the more frightened he became, and his face sank to the bottom.
He gently held her in his arms, no longer thinking of teasing her. He gently stroked her back and soothed her:
"Okay, it's all over. I'm here, right? Don't worry, I will definitely get you out."
Her exaggerated words were just a way of acting coquettishly towards him.
Hearing this, she responded gruffly, leaning delicately against his chest.
Shen Yu felt her restless little hands, and took the opportunity to start making trouble again, and sighed helplessly.
"No matter how much I say, it won't cover up your little tricks. Be good. Now is not the time."
Wen Wan's interest suddenly died down. "Oh, you just asked me for compensation. I gave it to you, but you couldn't even take it. Don't blame me for being ungrateful in the future."
"Heh," Shen Yu chuckled, "little fox."
As if he didn't know that she was just teasing him on purpose, retreating in order to advance?
We are all rational people, how could we really do something that would be destroyed by desire?

Shen Yu pulled Wen Wan to sit on a chair beside him, pinching her chubby palm as if to quench his thirst while telling her about his current situation.
"Do you know where this little prince of Mobei comes from?"
Wen Wan nodded slightly. "I know. He's Madam Zhou's missing son. Do you think I've only been eating and sleeping during my time in the Mobei Royal Court?"
He raised his hand and scratched her nose. "I knew you were smart. Yes, the little prince of Mobei is Madam Zhou's son. Do you know how this little prince disappeared from Lishui Villa?"
Wen Wan shook her head and asked, "What did you find out?"
At that time, Shen Yu's men seized the lair of Lishui Villa. Although Madam Zhou and Madam Yun escaped, they left in a hurry and did not take away the treasures and confidants in the villa.
"We learned from Madam Yun's confidants that Madam Zhou's son, the young prince of Mobei, Yu Qiting, was framed and murdered by Madam Yun."
"Lishui Villa has been run for many years, and it has always been Madam Yun who has been managing the business for Madam Zhou. But after Yu Qiting came of age, Madam Zhou began to plan for her son's future. She wanted to hand over all the business of Lishui Villa to Yu Qiting. In Madam Zhou's view, Yu Qiting is a man, and only he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of Lishui Villa."
When Wen Wan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It was Madam Yun who built the empire for Old Madam Zhou. Now that her younger brother has grown up, she's handing over the fruits of her years of hard work to him, simply because he's a man. This Old Madam Zhou is also getting confused."
Hearing this, Shen Yu raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead.
"Mrs. Zhou is not senile. It's natural for a man to start a family and inherit the family business. However, this is only one reason. Secondly, I guess the owner of the privately sold iron ore doesn't want to deal with a woman for a long time."
"Yu Qiting escaped death and was found by the Mobei Royal Court six months later. He spent that same six months gaining a firm foothold in the court."
Wen Wan blinked, "This little prince is quite impressive. He's made a comeback and now holds power. Madam Yun is in dire straits. She has no place in the Duan Dynasty, and she has offended the little prince of Mobei."
As he said this, Shen Yu's face was full of disdain, "He's so powerful?"
"Uh..." He's a petty man who gets jealous over this little bit.
Wen Wan glared at him and said, "Not as good as you."
Shen Yu was satisfied, but he didn't give up. "What kind of person do you think Yu Qiting is?"
Wen Wan's expression suddenly froze, "He's a ruthless person."
Her answer surprised Shen Yu a little.
"Everyone in the royal court says that the young prince is ruthless and has inherited the bloodthirsty and cruel temperament of the King of Mobei, but he is extremely kind to his beloved slave. In front of that slave, the young prince has never done anything cruel, and he is even very good at disguising himself. I thought..."
"Why?" Wen Wan glanced at him.
"Brother, I'm not stupid. In places like the royal court and the imperial palace, no one who can survive is a kind person. Even if he is always well-behaved and polite in front of me, I won't really treat him as a little lamb."
