Chapter 184: A Perfunctory Thank You Gift
Wen Wan didn't care. After hearing the news, she covered the box in her hand and stuffed it into Xiang Tu's arms.
Xiang Tu was bewildered, "Aunt Wan, what does this mean?"
Wen Wan smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Go back and tell your general that I want to meet an old friend. I'd like to trouble you to do me a favor. This is my thank you gift to him."
"A thank you gift?"
He curled his lips at the Tu, showing great disgust.
Did she think he didn't see it? This was clearly the snack she had just eaten halfway!
Such a perfunctory gift for his general?
Who are you fooling?
Xiang Tu originally wanted to throw it back to her on the spot, but then he thought, instead of throwing it back, it would be better to take this half box of snacks back to the general, so that the general can see the true face of Aunt Wan who is perfunctory to him.
"Okay. I will definitely bring Aunt Wan's thank-you gift." Xiang Tuxiong walked away in a proud and angry manner.
Wen Wan lay down again and waved her hand, asking Fa Cai to go to the kitchen and get a box of freshly baked snacks.
"You little brat, you want to come to me and ask for favors again? You're dreaming!"

Xiang Tu walked quickly and returned to the study in less than half a cup of tea.
Shen Yu was reading a book by the window. When he saw Xiang Tu coming back with a brocade box in his hands, his eyes lit up.
He walked quickly to the door and took the box from Xiang Tu's arms and opened it without waiting for Xiang Tu to speak.
There were only a small half of the biscuits left in the box, and there were still a lot of scattered biscuit crumbs in the empty space.
Xiang Tu quickly complained, "General, Aunt Wan said she wants to meet an old friend. Please help arrange it. These leftover snacks she didn't finish are her thank you gift to you."
He placed emphasis on the words "unfinished".
Sure enough, when Shen Yu heard these words, his brows immediately knitted together.
Xiang Tu thought there was something interesting going on and quickly added fuel to the fire.
"General, Concubine Wan really doesn't take you seriously. She treats you with just a few cakes. She takes you too seriously. Concubine Wan's temper really needs to be properly disciplined. You don't know that she cheated me out of ten taels of silver last time. I didn't make a fuss about it because of your face..."
Shen Yu suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiang Tu with sharp eyes, "You said this is what she didn't finish eating?"
He nodded repeatedly to Tu.
Shen Yu snorted coldly and scolded: "She hasn't eaten enough, what are you taking away for?"
"Yes, she left some uneaten and gave it to you to perfunctorily… Huh?"
Xiang Tuhua was halfway through speaking when he realized what Shen Yu meant.
So Xiang Tu was completely stunned.
"No, that's right, General. Do you understand what I mean? I mean these snacks are what she left over..."
"Nonsense!" Chen Yu said in a cold tone, "She hasn't eaten enough yet and is willing to give it to me. Doesn't this mean that she cares about me? But you..."
Xiang Tu: “…”
He shuddered suddenly, and then heard words that almost broke his defense.
Chen Yu: "She didn't eat enough and was willing to share the snacks with me. But you didn't have the slightest bit of tact and just took it back from me? General, what do you need these snacks for?"
Xiang Tu: “…”
He had not anticipated the direction of this matter.
Chen Yu snorted coldly, "Fine half a month's salary... Never mind, your salary will be paid as usual, but this time, you have to be a little sensible and give half a month's salary to Aunt Wan as compensation."
After saying that, Shen Yu held the snack box in front of Xiang Tu and ruthlessly closed the door.
Outside the door, Xiang Tu stood there in a daze. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses from the shock.
He looked around in confusion, "What went wrong? I came here to complain about something illegal, so why am I the one being punished?"
Inside the door, Shen Yu picked up a piece of dessert with a very indifferent expression.
He was not stupid, so he could see her perfunctory attitude.
"You silly girl, how dare you give away leftovers?"
But, this is his little ancestor, what else can he do? He can only spoil her himself.

At dusk the next day, Shen Yu took Zhao to attend the palace banquet.
In the small courtyard, Chef Zheng made a grilled fish according to Wen Wan's instructions.
Chef Zheng and Nanny Wang were arranged by Shen Yu. They had deep-rooted class ideology and refused to come and eat with them no matter how much they were persuaded.
Wen Wan took the two little girls and sat together to eat grilled fish.
By the time it was dark, the grilled fish was finished.
A sky full of stars gradually appears in the sky, the twinkling light is faint, and only those who care can appreciate this quiet beauty.
Wenwan took a nap on the couch and didn't know when she fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was already sleeping in a warm bed.
There was no light in the room, only a little moonlight streaming in from the window.
A familiar breath came from beside her, she turned her head and saw Shen Yu curled up and sleeping beside her.
The quilt was wrapped around her body, and he only managed to hold down one corner of the quilt with his hand.
He seemed to have drunk quite a bit of wine, and the alcohol spread, filling the whole room with a hazy, drunken atmosphere.
Wen Wan raised her hand, placed her index finger between his eyebrows, and then slid down along his eyebrows.
His usually sharp facial features appeared surprisingly soft when he fell asleep.
Even if he stood in the clouds, he was, after all, just an ordinary person.
Wen Wan couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and muttered softly: "Tell me, if you were really a small-time lieutenant with no background, how good would our lives be now?"
What a pity.
She sighed softly, lifted the quilt to cover him, put her arms around his waist, and leaned into his arms.
"I can't stay here much longer anyway. I'll hug you again while you're asleep. You won't have the chance to hug me in the future."
She hugged him and fell asleep again unknowingly.
Hearing the sound of steady breathing in his arms, Shen Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He had drunk some wine, but he was not drunk.
He only had the courage to face her because of the alcohol.
His eyes couldn't help but feel sore, and he rubbed her hair with his chin greedily.
He murmured softly with a choked voice, "Yes, if I were just a small lieutenant with no background..."
He was not as easy to say the following words as Wen Wan.
Because he was the great general of the Duan Dynasty, and behind him were the people of the Duan Dynasty and the brothers who followed him through life and death.
In the darkness, Shen Yu hugged Wen Wan tighter.
I don’t know when the moon outside the window disappeared. After all, in such a night, even the moonlight had no choice but to leave.
*
After dawn, Wen Wan discovered that Shen Yu had already left.
There wasn't even a trace of his presence in the house.
She sat up, touched the place where he slept last night, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Not long after, Gongxi hurried into the house.
"An important person has arrived at the General's Mansion. The mistress has asked everyone to go to the front hall and wait in advance so that they can greet the important person later."
Wen Wan seemed to sense something and asked with a smile, "But... Prince Cang came in person?"
Gong Xi was shocked, "Auntie Wan, how did you know? Can you tell fortunes?"
Wen Wan chuckled and joked, "Well, your Aunt Wan's predictions are very accurate. Not only did I predict that Prince Cang would come, I also predicted that I would make a fortune!"
Congratulations:"??"
Is it possible that her concubine Wan is crazy about money?
