Chapter 284: Top Mouth Substitute
Wenwan walked into the yard.
I saw a man and a woman standing by the fence. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. The sun was shining, and there was a warm atmosphere, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Especially the three delicate words "Brother Yu" kept ringing.
Not to mention Shen Yu, even she couldn't help but feel weak in the bones when she heard it.
A slight chill appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she walked slowly towards the pavilion.
When Wen Wan appeared, Shen Yu's ears moved, and he looked towards her as if he sensed something.
He Miao was startled and turned around to see Wen Wan.
When women look at each other, they can always see through each other's minds at a glance.
He Miao guessed Wen Wan's identity without asking.
She snorted coldly, her face full of sarcasm.
"Brother Yu, is she the young widow who offended you? She looks... quite pretty, but not stunningly beautiful. There are plenty of such girls in brothels."
He starts to act big as soon as he meets me. It seems like he has nothing to fear because he has a big tree to lean on.
Wen Wan was about to speak, but Shen Yu spoke before her.
"He Miao! If you say anything rude, go back to the He Mansion immediately. This is not the place for you to act wildly."
These words were quite heavy for someone of He Miao's status.
He Miao was also shocked, "Brother Yu, you have never said such harsh words to me since I was a child!"
Her eyes were red with grievance, and she raised her finger to point at Wen Wan's nose, "Now for such a thing, you actually..."
"Such a thing?"
Shen Yu interrupted with a sneer, "Who do you think you are? Except for her status, she is worse than you in every way and everything!"
Wen Wan: “…”
She was originally preparing to show her skills, but suddenly found that with Shen Yu as a high-level mouth substitute, she had no chance to show her skills at all.
What's even more terrible is that he, who has never bothered to argue with others, actually said so many harsh words in order to defend her with all his strength.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
Wen Wan raised the corner of her mouth, and a warm current surged in her heart, instantly extinguishing the last bit of dissatisfaction she had towards him.
Well, considering his crazy output, she didn't mind that he had this childhood sweetheart.
When had He Miao ever been scolded like that?
He froze there, and it took him a while to realize what he had said.
"Brother Yu..." He Miao's nose felt sore and tears began to flow.
Wen Wan tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve at the right moment and said softly, "Okay, stop talking. I'm just a little girl, and you've made me cry."
Shen Yu reacted and felt a little embarrassed, but he did not regret it.
"How could I allow anyone to humiliate you like this!"
He already owed her enough.
Wen Wan said coquettishly: "I know you are the best. You are the best."
She changed the subject, "But with your status, it's so embarrassing to scold a girl like that. I can't bear to see the reputation you worked so hard for ruined by something like this."
Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to pinch her cheek.
"Don't pretend, don't I know you?"
He snorted softly, “If I don’t protect you at a time like this, will you let me into the house at night?”
Wen Wan: “…”
He knew her very well.
He Miao, who was standing by, was already crying non-stop, and when she heard the two of them singing in unison, she cried even louder.
Xiang Tu saw two people coming into the pavilion from afar, and he trotted over.
Hearing He Miao's crying, Xiang Tu volunteered to run and shout.
"Don't worry, County Master He, I'll help you drive them away..."
"Who are you going to drive away?"
Wen Wan turned and looked at Xiang Tu.
Xiang Tu thought he was dizzy and rubbed his eyes with his hand.
After a while, he was sure that he was not mistaken. The person standing in front of him was Aunt Wen!
Xiang Tu swallowed fearfully, his tongue almost getting tied.
"Shoot, shoo, shoo away the flies."
He waved his hands exaggeratedly, as if he was shooing away flies.
But at this time of year, flies haven't been born yet, and the water's edge is very clean, without even a single flying mosquito.
He Miao's eyes widened. "Guard Xiang, didn't you say you would help me get rid of the cats and dogs around Brother Yu?"
Xiang Tu had a bewildered expression on his face, pretending to look around. "Where are the cats and dogs? Why don't I see any?"
His exaggerated movements caused Wen Wan to chuckle.
He Miao finally understood at this time, "Guard Xiang! You took money from me to help me get rid of disasters. You took so much money from me, are you going to deny it?"
Xiang Tu glanced at Chen Yu guiltily, then quickly took out the banknotes and stuffed them into He Miao's hands.
If he had known that the person next to his master was Concubine Wan, he would not have dared to take the money even if he had a hundred guts.
He Miao was furious. "Okay, okay! You guys teamed up to bully me, so I'll..."
According to the routine, the rich girl should have gone home unable to bear the humiliation.
But she stopped talking and never mentioned leaving.
She changed the subject and said, "I'm going back to my room to rest! Brother Yu, I've come a long way here to bring you the prescription. I'll stay for a few days to rest. You won't chase me away, right?"
Shen Yu frowned and subconsciously pinched Wen Wan's arm.
Wen Wan's eyes twinkled, and she nodded with a smile, "Miss He has come all the way here to deliver the prescription to you. She must be tired from traveling so she should stay and have a good rest."
She turned to Steward Chen and instructed, "Steward Chen, please prepare a good room for Miss He. If there is anything missing, please go and buy it. Don't neglect the guest."
Her hostess attitude surprised Manager Chen.
He came to his senses, responded, and led He Miao out of the pavilion.
*
Shen Yu asked Xiang Tu to step back as well.
Only Wen Wan and Shen Yu were left in the pavilion.
The atmosphere was silent and no one spoke immediately.
Wen Wan put the basket of medicinal herbs aside, making quite a bit of noise.
"Angry?"
Shen Yu lowered his posture and whispered, "I asked you and Yan Sui to stay away from He Miao, not because I look down on you, but because I am afraid that I can't protect you in my current state."
If he had not stood up to defend Wen Wan before, Wen Wan would definitely not believe what he said.
Now, after Wen Wan calmed down, she knew that what he said was true.
"You are afraid that you can't protect us, what about you?" Wen Wan asked in a deep voice.
"Me?" Shen Yu was stunned.
Wen Wan raised her hand and pinched his arm skillfully.
"Who will protect you in your current situation? He Miao's feelings for you are obvious. So, are you planning to take her into your harem, so you're accepting everyone who comes?"
Wen Wan added bluntly, "Besides, is He Miao's trip really just to give you the prescription?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu suddenly raised his head, "You... guessed it?"
Wen Wan did not deny it. "At first, when I saw that delicate girl approaching you, I was furious and almost lost my mind. I didn't think too deeply about it."
"However, when I saw Xiang Tu returning the banknotes to He Miao, I knew there was something fishy going on."
