Chapter 247: Digging Your Own Hole
The three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight, and a person's arrogance does not develop in a few days.
Ling'er's arrogance stems from Zhao's indulgence of her in her bones. Therefore, when Ling'er raised her hand to hit Wen Wan, the servants around her were not too surprised. Instead, Zhao frowned slightly.
But it was just a frown. At that moment, although Zhao was worried about angering Shen Yu, she felt a sense of joy in her heart.
Yes, it feels great.
The long-standing depression seemed to be relieved as long as Ling'er slapped it.
As for angering Shen Yu... at worst, Ling'er would just be punished.
Although she was a maidservant whom she valued, it would be worth it even if she suffered some punishment if she could vent her anger.
However, with Wen En around, how could he let Wen Wan be beaten by a maid?
Ling'er's hand was grabbed tightly by Wen En.
Wen En didn't bother to look at Ling'er any more, but just turned his head away, his eyes dyed red with anger.
"Is this the kind of life you lead in this general's mansion?"
Even a maidservant could bully her!
In the Mobei Royal Court, he wanted to hold his sister in the palm of his hand and coax her, but in Shen Yu's general's mansion, even a maid dared to bully her.
Wen En's anger could no longer be described in words.
Perhaps it was because his expression was too gloomy that everyone around him couldn't help but shiver.
They all saw a murderous intent on Winn's face.
Wanting to kill someone right after meeting them? This guy is obviously not a normal person.
Everyone stepped back unconsciously. Even Zhao was so scared that she took two steps back and hid behind an old nanny.
Ling'er also wanted to retreat, but unfortunately Wen En grabbed her wrist and she couldn't move back at all.
Faced with Wen En's question, Wen Wan curled the corners of her mouth in annoyance.
She licked her dry lips and explained with a stiff upper lip, "No, I usually live quite well in the mansion. I don't interact with them much these days, and no one makes me angry."
Ever since Shen Yu returned home, where are the happy days when the sisters were close to each other?
Unfortunately, Winn didn't believe her words.
He only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
Wen En thought she was just trying to keep up appearances, so he squeezed her hard, causing Ling'er to wail in pain.
Everyone's scalp tingled when they heard her scream, but that was not the end. Wen En raised his other hand and slapped Ling'er in the face with two solid slaps.
He had a strong hand, and after two slaps, Ling'er's whole face was swollen.
Ling'er was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.
After a while, she came to her senses and cried, "You, you hit a woman..."
Wen En was not a gentleman. He sneered and said, "What's the difference between a woman and a man? Even if you are a demon from the underworld or a god from the sky, if you dare to bully my sister, beating you would be considered light. Believe it or not..."
He leaned forward, raised his hand and grabbed Ling'er's throat, gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I will twist your head off directly."
Have the women in the general's mansion ever seen such brutal means?
The struggles in the harem are nothing more than using some shady means, mainly to suppress and annoy people. The more ruthless ones use some means to slowly waste time. Of course, after wasting time for a long time, some people can't stand it and die.
But in Mobei, Wen En relied on bloodiness and ruthlessness to gain a firm foothold. Not to mention a maid, he even dared to attack Zhao.
Seeing the veins on Wen En's hands exposed, Wen Wan quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"No, no, let go quickly, don't kill me."
Wen Wan wanted to cry but had no tears. She quickly comforted him, "She's just a proud girl. You don't have to kill her. Let her go. Don't act like we're murderers."
Although she was not a saint, she had seen many truly cruel scenes and knew that those who were truly evil to the core could completely treat human life as worthless.
Compared with those people, although Zhao and her maidservant were hateful, their crimes were not extremely serious.
Wen En was so angry that he forgot that Wen Wan was beside him. He shouldn't act too cruelly.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
The hand that was strangling her neck loosened, and Ling'er was able to breathe. She was so scared that she fell to the ground, with a lingering fear on her face.
Wen Wan took a step forward and looked at Zhao, "Madam, I almost forgot the purpose of my trip when Ling'er, this ignorant girl, interrupted me."
"This is my good-for-nothing younger brother. He originally wanted to come to the Imperial Capital to seek a job, but now it seems that this General's Mansion can't accommodate him. I won't waste my words and embarrass Madam."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Zhao, turned around and left with Wen En.
You left without even entering the main courtyard?
Watching the two people walking away, the old nanny said to Zhao in confusion:
"Madam, Aunt Wan is leaving just like that? Didn't she come here to help her brother with his future?"
Zhao was also confused and lowered her head in thought.
Ling'er finally got up from the ground, but some of her anger was still lingering.
"What's so hard to understand? Aunt Wan is relying on the general's favor and is becoming arrogant. She won't tolerate any humiliation. In my opinion, she must be going to the general to complain."
Hearing this, Zhao's eyes darkened even more.

On the way back, Wen En looked at Wen Wan cautiously, as if he had done something wrong and was afraid that she would be angry.
"Hey, weren't you just blaming the heavens and the earth, the evil spirits of the underworld, and the gods in heaven, and you were not afraid at all? Who are you pretending to be a coward for now?"
Wen Wan hid a smile on her face and couldn't help but ridicule him.
Wen En pressed his thin lips into a straight line, "Sister, are you really angry?"
Wen Wan raised her hand and poked his forehead. "Are you stupid? Why should I be angry? You defend me so much, how heartless am I to be angry with you?"
Winn was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He followed her and walked a few steps, then suddenly thought of something.
He asked tentatively: "Sister, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
She smiled gently but said nothing. She walked into the pavilion nearby and sat down on the long railing.
She leaned on the railing, resting her chin on her arm, and smiled, "Being able to react so quickly shows that our En En is very smart."
Winn: “…”
And treat him like a child.
He sat down beside her, picked up the fish food on the stone table and handed it to her. Wen Wan took it and chatted, "You said I did it on purpose, what did I do on purpose?"
Winn grinned, "Sister wants to test me?"
Wen Wan remained silent.
Winn moved closer to her again, "If I'm right, what reward should sister give me?"
Wen Wan sprinkled the fish food into the lotus pond. The water rippled and the fish food floated up and down. A group of carp quickly gathered around. The colorful fish were quite interesting.
"Uh...what do you want?" Wen Wan asked vigilantly.
