Chapter 241 She Has Nothing to Do with It
The setting sun shines on the water, and the shimmering water ripples spread out, stained with some brilliant sunset glow.
A hazy yellow light flowed between the three people. The scene was beautiful, but for some reason it made everyone on the shore shiver suddenly.
Wen En was about ten feet away, his eyes fixed on Shen Yu's hand. His slender fingers cupped Wen Wan's cheek, making the blush on her face even more vibrant.
The hand hidden in the water had already been clenched into a fist, with veins exposed on the back of the hand and even the fingernails had lost their color.
But there was no anger on his face, instead he showed a pitiful expression.
Wen En lowered his eyes and said sadly, "Sister, you, you don't have to worry about me, I don't feel any pain anymore..."
He said it didn't hurt, but his expression clearly said it was excruciatingly painful.
The more stubborn a child is, the more sympathetic he becomes.
Wen Wan always has a filter when facing Wen En.
With this filter in place, her usual shrewdness and wisdom seemed to have been eaten by a dog. She pulled Shen Yu's hand off and swam towards Wen En.
Wen Wan swam to Wen En, carefully holding him up, and turned back to Shen Yu in a fierce voice and said:
"Come and help."
Shen Yu frowned slightly, then snorted.
He put on a worried expression and swam over immediately.
"Okay, I'll help. This kind of thing is more suitable for men to do."
So, Wen Wan was ruthlessly pushed away by Shen Yu.
Chen Yu held Wen En's armpits with both hands, lifted him up suddenly, and handed him to the guards on the shore as if handing over goods.
Poor Winn, a tall and strong man, was thrown onto the shore like an object before he could even react.
When Wen Wan saw Wen En coming ashore, she was about to climb ashore as well, but as soon as she moved, she was pulled back into the water by Shen Yu.
"What for?" Wen Wan asked in confusion.
Chen Yu raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "You're so stupid! You're going up there like this?"
On the shore, hundreds of guards were cleaning up the aftermath, and it could be vaguely seen that several survivors had been rescued from the cave.
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment and looked down at the clothes that were wet and stuck to her body.
She has a nice figure, right?
She twitched the corner of her mouth. Yes, in ancient times, men and women were strictly separated. If she went up like this, she would be regarded as a woman who violated morals and would be thrown into a pig cage.
"Come with me."
Shen Yu turned and swam in another direction.
Wen Wan then discovered that there were several official ships docked not far away, which should have been the ones that Shen Yu took when he brought his men here.
The two of them reached the back of the boat. Xiang Tu and others who had been waiting on the deck quickly lowered the rope, and Chen Yu took the rope and tied Wen Wan up.
He grabbed the rope and climbed onto the boat swiftly. After sending the others away, he pulled Wen Wan up.

Entering the cabin, Wen Wan immediately grabbed Shen Yu's arm and asked softly:
"Can you let Winn go?"
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled coldly.
"You just escaped death, and this is what you want to say most?"
"..." Wen Wan lowered her voice and said, "Things have their priorities. We have to hurry before Wen En's identity is exposed. That way we have a better chance of saving him."
Shen Yu's eyes darkened, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "His name is not Wen En, his name is Yu Qiting."
Yu Qiting is the prince of Mobei.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Wan felt a chill in her heart and said in a deep voice:
"In my opinion, he is now Wen En! In the cave, he not only saved me, but also saved the prince! Are you going to repay kindness with hatred? A great general is such an ungrateful villain?"
She was so anxious that she couldn't help but say a few harsh words.
After she said that, she regretted it.
Hearing this, Shen Yu didn't say anything. His silence made Wen Wan feel a little uneasy.
She hesitated for a moment and carefully tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve.
"Chen Yu, I know you are the great general of the Duan Dynasty. In your opinion, some things are more important than personal gains and losses. But in the cave..."
She recalled the scene where Winn saved King Anding under great pressure.
She wanted to give him some more advice.
Shen Yu interrupted, "That's enough. I know my limits."
After a pause, he said, "Change into clean clothes. I'll go check on the situation at the dock."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yu exited the cabin.
Wen Wan watched him close the cabin door, and for some reason, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes.
The more Wen Wan thought about it, the more worried she became. After changing her clothes, she hurried to the deck.
Unfortunately, as soon as I ran onto the deck, I found that the ship was already moving and was already quite a distance away from the dock.
Xiang Tu ran over with a pot of hot soup. "Auntie Wan, I'm glad you're okay. This is freshly boiled ginger soup. The general said he would make sure you drink two big bowls..."
Wen Wan didn't even glance at Jiang Tang. She pointed in the direction of the dock and said, "Send the boat back!"
Xiang Tu avoided Wen Wan's gaze guiltily, "Auntie Wan, the general said... to send you back home first."
"Oh," Wen Wan was so angry that she wanted to laugh, "Send me back home? What's going on in the cave? Did the prince escape? These things haven't been confirmed yet..."
"Auntie Wan," Xiang Tu said in surprise, "Aren't these things a man's business?"
Wen Wan was startled, and she stared at Xiang Tu's face intently.
His expression was full of confusion and incomprehension.
Perhaps in the eyes of people around her, these things really aren't something a woman should be responsible for.
This is a patriarchal world, and she is just a woman kept in the harem by the superior, even if she is somewhat smart and has done some impressive things.
But now that Shen Yu is back, everyone has a backbone, and what happens next has nothing to do with her.
At that moment, Wen Wan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. It was a mixture of various emotions, and her chest felt very stuffy.
Xiang Tu thought she was worried about the prince's safety, so he spoke to comfort her:
"Mrs. Wan, don't worry. The general is back. This time, he not only brought the guards from the palace, but also called in people from the Imperial City Bureau. Look..."
Xiang Tu pointed to seven or eight official ships in the distance and said, "People from the Imperial City Bureau are arriving one after another."
"With the general in charge and so many men here, we will definitely rescue the prince. As for those villains, the general will not let any of them go..."
Xiang Tu didn't notice that the more he spoke, the paler Wen Wan's face became.
Wen Wan bit her lower lip, walked forward slowly, and said coldly to Xiang Tu: "Tell someone to drive the boat back!"
A cold tone and a ruthless expression.
This was something Xiang Tu had never seen on her before, so he was stunned for a moment and still a little confused.
"Aunt Wan, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan sneered and did not answer the question. She just walked to the edge of the fence and pretended to flip down. Frightened, Xiang Tu took two steps at a time and grabbed her arm.
"Go back! I'll have them drive the boat back right away!"
Xiang Tu had a bitter face. With masters on both sides, it was really impossible for him to do this job.
