Chapter 20 Indirect Kiss
Shen Yu lowered his eyes and recalled for a moment, but still couldn't remember what his legitimately married general's wife looked like.
This marriage was originally arranged by his father.
On the wedding day, he only had time to lift the bride's veil and take a look before an imperial decree sent him to the border.
Later, he won a series of victories on the border, and many people from the palace and other colleagues were sent to his backyard one after another.
Giving beautiful concubines to each other among colleagues is a favor and also a means of building relationships.
He was leading troops at the border and needed help from his colleagues in the court, so he took all the beautiful concubines who were sent to him into his backyard.
It's just a few more mouths to feed, he can afford it.
It's funny to say that he is probably the only one in the world who has many wives and concubines but has never enjoyed the happiness of having them all.
"Husband."
Wen Wan gently tugged at his sleeve, bringing his wandering thoughts back.
He turned to look at her.
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "How about we come back tomorrow? After all, they are the general's family, we can't afford to offend them, so it's better to have less trouble than more."
It would be troublesome if I ran into Zhao in there.
Shen Yu was still trying to find an excuse to avoid the topic, but when she brought it up, he immediately agreed.
"Okay, then I'll listen to my wife."
The two people, each with their own thoughts, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they achieved a common goal.

Near noon, Gao Ling and the caravan stopped to rest in front of the post road, and saw two people and a horse returning.
Shen Yu turned over and got off the horse, then opened his arms and held Wen Wan's waist, supporting her from the horse.
The waist that was held tightly by her was incredibly soft, and when Shen Yu let go, his fingertips trembled unconsciously.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Gao Ling's surprised question just concealed the strangeness in Shen Yu's eyes.
He casually explained, "There are distinguished guests burning incense in the Niangniang Temple, so they can't enter now."
"Distinguished guest?"
Gao Ling was stunned, unable to understand what kind of distinguished guest in this border town was worthy of his sending Shen Yu back home.
As if seeing his confusion, Shen Yu added, “General Shen’s wife is in the temple.”
"Oh...who?" Gao Ling was shocked.
Shen Yu's warning gaze swept over, and Gao Ling restrained his expression in dissatisfaction.
"Well, if it's the general's wife, we should avoid her."
Shen Yu had a blank expression on his face, “Yeah.”
Mentioning General Shen, Wen Wan turned to look at Shen Yu, "Captain Zhou, speaking of which, this General Shen is your superior, right?"
Shen Yu gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."
Wen Wan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What is General Shen like? Does he have a good temper? Is he easy to talk to?"
Her indenture is still in the general's mansion. If she wants to redeem herself in the future, she will have to ask General Shen to release her.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, she naturally wanted to find out more about General Shen.
When she asked this, Shen Yu and Gao Ling fell silent.
Wen Wan: "Is this question difficult to answer?"
Gao Ling raised his hand and pointed, "I'm not familiar with General Shen, you ask him."
"..." Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "What do you think of my temper?"
Wen Wan sneered and gave him a look that showed her understanding.
Shen Yu: "The general is similar to me, good-tempered, considerate, upright, brave, and kind to people and things..."
"Alright." Wen Wan waved her hand. "I guess I asked the wrong person. I can see that you, like Chen Zhou, also admire General Shen, but..."
Wen Wan waved to him, motioning him to come closer.
Shen Yu hesitated slightly and leaned over to listen.
Wen Wan: "Even if your general is a perfect person, there is one thing you must not learn from him."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Which point?"
Wen Wan looked around and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear:
"Lewd!"
Gao Ling: “???”
Shen Yu: “…”
Wen Wan lowered her voice, "Don't disbelieve me. I tell you, General Shen has a lot of women in his family. I heard that it's at least this number."
She spread out her fingers exaggeratedly, and ten fingers were not enough to gesture.
The exact number is eighteen, and as one of the concubines, she has a say in this matter.
She patted Shen Yu's shoulder and gave him a serious and earnest admonition:
"A lustful man is prone to kidney deficiency. After kidney deficiency, how can he have the strength to draw a sword and kill the enemy? In the long run, I am not optimistic about General Shen."
"Young man, work hard. If General Shen gets weak in the kidneys and falls to the ground on the battlefield one day, and is killed by the enemy, you will be the next great general!"
After saying that, Wen Wan waved her hand.
"I'm hungry. Let me eat something in the carriage. You should take note of what I'm saying. It's all for your own good."
Shen Yu: “…”
It was not until Wen Wan's figure disappeared that Gao Ling couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Oh my goodness, where did this girl come from? What she said...what she said makes so much sense!"
"We've known each other for many years, and I didn't know you had kidney deficiency..."
Chen Yu glared at him, and Gao Ling barely managed to swallow back his mocking words.
Lust? Kidney deficiency?
In her eyes, General Shen's identity actually has this image?
Shen Yu frowned, feeling uneasy.
After a while, he remembered another thing.
"Where have you placed my general's wife? How come you didn't even know she was at the Niangniang Temple?"
When Zhao came to the border town a while ago, Shen Yu had just experienced the siege of the Mobei people and many of his brothers had died. He had no mood to see her, so he asked Gao Ling to settle Zhao.
Gao Ling also sighed, "I've never seen anyone like you. You threw your wife to me without even looking at her. Fortunately, I'm a decent person. I won't even look at my brother's woman."
"So much nonsense!" Shen Yu placed his hand on the soft sword at his waist.
Gao Ling took a step back angrily.
"She's your wife, what can I do? I've already respectfully welcomed her into your backyard. How come you haven't gone to see her in all these days?"
Shen Yu: “…”
Gao Ling gave him a thumbs-up. "Awesome! Miss Xiaowan is so good at predicting things. So far, she's only made a mistake with you."
He changed the subject and jokingly said, "You, you're not just lustful, you're clearly a Liu Xiahui!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Ling turned around and left, not giving Shen Yu any chance to retaliate.
Shen Yu was so angry that his liver ached. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his foot and walked towards the culprit.
Beside the carriage, Wen Wan took a piece of cake from the brocade box.
She took a bite and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing Shen Yu coming over, he casually raised the pastry in his hand.
"Do you want some too? There's more in the box..."
Before she finished her words, she saw Shen Yu open his mouth viciously and bite the pastry in her hand.
Wen Wan: “…”
This is the piece she ate!
There's still her saliva on it!
Over, indirect kiss, this is awkward!
