Chapter 277 Did He Believe It?
The atmosphere was very depressing, and Shen Yu did not respond for a long time.
Yan Sui turned over and nuzzled in Shen Yu's arms in a daze.
Shen Yu came back to his senses and said indifferently, "So, after Madam Wen left Taohua Town, she and Prime Minister Wu parted ways?"
Wen Wan: "Of course, I'm a widow, I can only help him out in a desperate situation, but how can I really go back to my hometown with him?"
After a pause, she continued, "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate in Master Wu's hometown."
"Heh," Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I didn't check?"
It was precisely because he had checked that he asked the previous few questions first.
When Xiang Tu sent people to track down Wu Xiang, the news that came back was that Wu Xiang and she were a fake couple, and that it was a play they put on in order to deal with the Zhao family's pursuit.
As for after she separated from Wu Xiang, she did hide and actually hid here.
Shen Yu's silence made Wen Wan very uneasy.
She was so nervous that her heart was pounding, but she soon calmed down.
Shen Yu must have only found out that she and Wu Xiang were a fake couple, but not her real identity, otherwise, he would not have used Yan Sui to threaten her.
"Since you have checked, you should know that what I just said is the truth."
Wen Wan gritted her teeth and began to try to play the victim, "Master Shen... we are orphans and widows, we have done nothing wrong, we just want a stable life."
She smiled bitterly, "Who doesn't have some secrets in this life? I did deceive you, and I know I was wrong."
"But... I didn't commit murder or arson, and my child doesn't deserve death, right?"
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Wan glanced back, avoiding the servant, and approached Shen Yu, lowering her voice and saying:
"General Shen, look, aren't you also here in this remote town, hiding your identity? We all have our own difficulties and are desperate. Please, General Shen, put yourself in my shoes and forgive my previous sins."
She was very humble and spoke sincerely.
Shen Yu didn't react at all, not even a spare glance.
"It's a lie."
In the end, he only gave these four words.
Wen Wan felt a chill in her heart. She had said everything she could. If he still insisted, she would have no choice but to confess and get a lighter sentence.
No matter what, she would stay by his side while he was blind.
"Actually, I..."
Wen Wan was about to speak when she saw Yan Sui in Shen Yu's arms wake up.
The little guy opened his eyes wide in surprise, and when he saw who was holding him, he immediately cried out with joy.
“Daddy!”
Shen Yu was shocked by the call of "Daddy" and his expression changed.
"What did you call me?"
Yan Sui, however, happily hugged Shen Yu's neck and turned to yell at Wen Wan.
"Mother! It's Daddy! It's my Daddy!"
Wen Wan's scalp tingled, her lips trembled, and panic rose on her face in vain. Fortunately, Chen Yu couldn't see it.
She cleared her throat and said, "Yan Sui, he... is Uncle Shen, not your father, don't yell at him."
"Mom, you're lying! He is my father, and this is what the father you drew looks like." Yan Sui was furious.
Shen Yu keenly caught the information, "Painting? What painting?"
Wen Wan quickly covered Yan Sui's mouth and said, "Master Shen, don't listen to his nonsense. This child is pitiful. He has no father since he was a child. Whenever he sees a good-looking uncle, he will randomly recognize him as his father."
Yan Sui's eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously. He had no other options, so he just accepted this one.
Unfortunately, Yan Sui had small arms and legs, so he couldn’t resist and had no chance to speak.
When Banyue saw this scene, he also walked over quickly.
"My little ancestor, stop shouting. If this gets out, will your mother still be alive in this town?"
A woman's reputation is so important, let alone a widow's reputation.
Banyue took Yan Sui away from Shen Yu's arms.
Shen Yu's arms felt empty, and he put his hands down in disappointment, the expression on his face seemed to be much gloomier than before.
"That's all."
After talking for so long, Shen Yu felt a little tired and waved his hand, saying, "You all should leave."
That’s it?
Did he believe her or not?
When the servant heard Shen Yu's order, he immediately took Wen Wan and Ban Yue out of the garden.
When leaving, Yan Sui was still a little unhappy, struggling and shouting "Daddy" in the direction of Shen Yu.
Wen Wan looked back and saw that the man who had threatened her with the child just now now had a lifeless look on his face and looked listless.
Wen Wan paused, called the servant, and stuffed some silver into his hand.
“Brother, has Master Shen always been so moody?”
The servant, considering the silver, spoke politely, "I'm not moody, I'm always angry."
He sighed, "You may not believe this, but since I've been serving the young master, this is the first time I've seen him talk so much and even smile."
Wen Wan's face turned pale for a moment, "So what is he like normally?"
The servant thought about it and said, "Usually, the young master seems to have no interest in anything."
"He often sits alone for a whole day. He doesn't laugh, but he does lose his temper. When he loses his temper, he's like crazy. At the very least, he'll beat or scold you, and at the worst, he'll..."
The servant, perhaps recalling some horrific experience, cautiously warned, "In any case, you must not anger the young master, or the consequences will be disastrous."
The more Wen Wan listened, the more she found it unbelievable. The person the servant was talking about was completely different from the Chen Yu she remembered.
She couldn't imagine that General Shen, who loved the people and respected his soldiers, would beat and scold his servants.
Shen Yu's temperament changed drastically, and he didn't even have a confidant around him. What happened?
Where are Xiang Tu, A Gui, Jin Mu, these people who are loyal to Shen Yu?
If Shen Yu was in such a depressed state, how could Prince Anding and the old lady ignore him?
Too many mysteries piled up in Wen Wan's heart. She felt difficulty breathing and almost couldn't breathe.
"Madam Wen?"
The servant saw Wen Wan's face turn pale and asked with concern.
Wen Wan looked up and asked, "Brother, has your family not found a suitable cook yet?"
The servant nodded, confused. "Uh, yes. So this means we have to ask the town guard to ask Miss Banyue to come over and help temporarily."
"We'll take the cook's job." Wen Wan said gritting her teeth.
The servant was shocked.
Ban Yue was also stunned. "Madam... if I come here to be a cook, what about you and Yan Sui? What about the shop?"
Wen Wan's eyes flashed, "Yan Sui and I will come to help."
Ban Yue: “???
Wen Wan said seriously: "Master Shen is very generous. We can make more money here than running a shop."
Banyue thought about it carefully and said, "It seems so."
Wen Wan turned to the servant and said, "Brother, please tell the steward that Banyue and I will come to the mansion to help. We only need one wage. Let us do this job, okay?"
