Chapter 192: Shut Up, Little Ancestor
On the stage, the play "Peach Birthday Celebration" was performed in a festive and lively manner.
There were eight round tables under the stage, and people sat in order of importance.
Wen Wan has the lowest status among the family members attending the birthday banquet today, so she can only sit at the small table at the end.
Sitting with her were the families of several minor officials, but they were all wives of the chief officials, so they did not take the initiative to talk to Wen Wan.
Most of the people who made friends with Meng Jin were civil officials. Civil officials were mostly noble and had their families always admonishing them. Naturally, they would not lower their status to associate with concubines.
Wenwan's expression was very indifferent.
Even modern society divides people into different classes, let alone the ancient society with clear class divisions.
As long as she is Shen Yu's concubine, she will only face more of this kind of thing in the future.
"Alas, another day of wanting to escape the General's Mansion as quickly as possible."
Wen Wan thought so and looked towards Shen Yu unconsciously, with obvious blame in her eyes.
It’s all his fault!
If she had known his identity earlier, she would not have provoked him and asked for trouble.
Shen Yu was toasting with an adult next to him when he suddenly felt something and looked up to meet Wen Wan's gaze.
He cleared his throat and looked away guiltily.
Having known each other for a long time, he could guess exactly what she would be thinking in this kind of situation.
On the high throne, the Queen Mother saw this scene and twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.
"She's really a bitch from the countryside. She doesn't even forget to tease men in front of others!"
After hearing this, the personal palace maid lowered her head and dared not say a word.
Not long after, a palace maid came to the Queen's side and reported the news she had found out in a low voice.
"There's an old maid in the Meng Mansion who serves Master Meng's mother. I used some tricks to pry her open."
"The old nanny said that Lord Meng had a childhood sweetheart in the countryside named Xiaowan. Xiaowan's family looked down on the poor Lord Meng and secretly sold her to a wealthy family as a concubine."
Hearing this, the queen was stunned for a moment, and then a sinister look gradually emerged in her eyes.
"I see."
She smiled and played with the scarlet nail polish on her hand.
"Since they're old lovers, how could they not have a chance to pour out their hearts? I hate to see lovers torn apart, so shouldn't I help them?"
Wenwan, she thanks you.

After the meal started, Wen Wan picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
She was not in a hurry. If nothing unexpected happened, someone would lose patience.
Sure enough, halfway through the meal, the maid serving the food poured a basin of soup on her.
Wen Wan fell to the ground, sneering in her heart.
It's an old-fashioned tactic. I've seen this kind of plot in palace fighting dramas at least eighty times, if not a hundred times.
She rolled her eyes and shouted at the top of her voice in cooperation.
"It's so hot! It's burning me to death! Help! General, save me!"
She admitted that she was not a good actor.
These shouts lacked enough emotion, and anyone who knew her well would think she was exaggerating and artificial.
Fortunately, the only person present who understood her was Shen Yu.
Shen Yu had originally kicked over the stool in a hurry, but after hearing her shout, he calmed down again.
It was Meng Jin who hurried over.
He slapped the maid in the face.
"Come here, take her away for strict interrogation! How dare you murder the general's offspring in the Meng Mansion? You are trying to put our Meng Mansion to death!"
We are all smart people, who would be stupid enough to believe that this is a coincidence.
Meng Jin pretended to help Wen Wan, but before his hand touched her arm, he was blocked by Shen Yu.
Shen Yu bent down and picked up Wen Wan, and said in front of everyone: "Can I borrow a room and two girls' clothes from Master Meng?"
Meng Jin's eyes fell on his arm wrapped around Wen Wan's waist. His pupils shrank, but his face showed no sign of it.
"certainly."
Meng Jin then took them into the backyard.
Shen Yu carried Wen Wan into the wing room. When the door closed, they both asked in unison:
"Did you do this on purpose?"
"The people you sent?"
Both of them thought that the maid had deliberately spilled the soup on her.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth sarcastically and said sarcastically, "Trust between people is so fragile."
Shen Yu: “…”
I understand. Thank you.
Wen Wan picked up the clean clothes on the table, shook them out, and turned around and said, "Turn around."
Shen Yu stood still, "What part of you have I not seen before?"
"Heh," Wen Wan laughed, walked up to him, and looked up at him, "Are you sure you want to play tricks on me?"
Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, if this woman really became shameless, he would find it hard to handle.
But he felt a little embarrassed to be defeated like this.
"You forced me to do this."
Wen Wanyin smiled deeply, held Shen Yu's face, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Shen Yu's eyes widened, his mind didn't catch up, but his hands instinctively hugged her waist.
Shen Yu: “…”
His body's honest reaction always puts him at a disadvantage when he quarrels!
Wenwan let go of him after she was satisfied, smiling proudly.
You bastard, I can subdue you in one move.
Without waiting for Shen Yu to come back to his senses, she started a combo.
She began to shout at the top of her lungs: "General, don't..."
Shen Yu covered her mouth in a panic.
"Ancestor! Can you at least have some shame?"
Wen Wan pried his hands apart and said, "As a concubine, I have to be unrestrained to fit my character. I have no shame anyway, so I'm not afraid of losing face."
She is not afraid, but he is.
"You're such a scoundrel! I can't beat you!"
Shen Yu raised his hand and knocked her on the head, then turned away in dismay.
He said with a worried tone: "Xiao Wan, although I don't know what you want to do, but remember, the relationships in the Imperial Capital are complicated and it's not your place to get involved."
Wen Wan quickly changed her clothes and said, "I shouldn't have gotten involved, but do I have a choice?"
Chen Yu frowned, "Xiao Wan, I don't want you to take risks. Cleverness won't play a decisive role in the face of absolute strength."
Wen Wan tightened her belt, "Really? Then let's try it."
She had just finished changing her clothes when there was a knock on the door.
The steward of the Meng Mansion said anxiously outside the door: "General Shen, your wife fell from the rockery. She is now bleeding from the head and unconscious."
Zhao is Shen Yu's legal wife, and as soon as the news came out, he had to go and see it.
It was obviously a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but he had to go anyway, otherwise he would definitely give people a chance to criticize him.
Shen Yu's face was very gloomy. He turned around and saw that Wen Wan had changed her clothes, so he took her wrist.
"You must come with me and not leave me for a moment."
Wen Wan was still hesitating.
As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. We have to give the people behind the scenes a chance to act so that things can develop as planned, right?
"Xiao Wan!" Shen Yu shouted, "You just don't trust me?"
He rarely got angry with her, so his dark face was a bit intimidating.
Shen Yu gritted his teeth, his tone helpless, “Okay, there’s really nothing I can do about you.”
His tone softened again, and he coaxed softly, "Be obedient and stay with me today. I'll let you do whatever you want! Even if you get into a huge disaster, I'll take it on, as long as you don't take any risks with yourself."
