Chapter 287: The End of Friendship
The firelight reflected on his profile, and his firm lines were mixed with endless tenderness.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Shen Yu completely disregarded his own safety and groped her body up and down.
Wen Wan was protected under him, and as far as the eye could see, his back was a mess of blood and flesh.
But he was only concerned about her safety.
"Fool."
Wen Wan's nose felt sore, and she spoke in a muffled voice, "I'm fine, you took good care of me."
While the two were talking, Xiang Tu hurried over and saw the wound on Shen Yu's back, and took a breath.
A group of people helped the two men up, and when they looked back, the fire in the house was even bigger.
Following Xiang Tu back were the town's yamen runners and young and strong residents, and everyone worked together to put out the fire.
Wen Wan helped Shen Yu sit down in the distance, drew well water and kept pouring it on his back.
It is extremely important to perform physical cooling as soon as possible after a burn. When cold water comes into contact with hot skin, the collision of cold and heat will quickly make the skin numb.
Wen Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that cold sweat was oozing out of Shen Yu's forehead, but his expression remained normal, and he didn't even hum.
"Does it hurt?" Wen Wan asked gently while watering the plants.
Shen Yu followed her voice and "looked" at her, then smiled.
"It doesn't hurt."
Wen Wan sighed helplessly, "The fire is too big. If there are people in the house, I'm afraid they can't be rescued."
"Yeah." Shen Yu responded, "Life and death are determined by fate, so just do your best."
Although the relationship between the He family and the Shen family is no longer as solid as it was in the past, they are playmates who grew up together after all, and he feels sorry for He Miao.
Suddenly, Shen Yu frowned, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it backwards.
"Ouch!"
There was only a delicate cry, and then He Miao fell to the ground with her hands covering her forehead.
She got up in a panic, turned around and ran away.
"To the soil!"
Shen Yu gave an order and leaped up into the air. He caught up with He Miao in a few steps and pinned her to the ground with his backhand.
"Let go! Let me go! I'm the county lady!"
Xiang Tu did not let go, but just said to Chen Yu, "Master, we have caught him."
Shen Yu responded, thought for a moment, and asked in a cold tone:
"He Miao, did you set the fire?"
He Miao lowered her head guiltily, and remained silent at first, then she said aggrievedly:
"I, I didn't really mean to set a fire. I wanted to light some cigarettes and ask you to come over and see me. It's all because you're obsessed with that fox..."
Shen Yu snorted coldly, and He Miao didn't dare to continue talking, and just stopped talking.
Wen Wan became more and more angry the more she listened. What kind of stupid brain is this?
An elementary school student? He's deliberately causing trouble to attract the attention of the opposite sex?
She was so angry that she walked up to He Miao and stared at her condescendingly.
She grabbed He Miao's hair and forced her to look up.
Wen Wan's eyes were sharp, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know how much risk everyone in this house has to take because of your stupid action?"
"You're lucky this time, no innocent people were killed or injured, otherwise your life wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"
After a pause, she continued, "He Miao, I don't care if you're a county lady or a princess. With your intelligence, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death."
She was not joking. For a moment, He Miao really saw murderous intent in the eyes of this seemingly delicate woman.
But He Miao's lips trembled, "Don't scare me, even if everyone in this house died, as long as Brother Yu is fine, it doesn't matter, a bunch of worthless lives..."
Before He Miao could finish her words, Wen Wan slapped her hard in the face.
"A worthless life?" Wen Wan sneered, "We are all born by our parents, we are all living people, yet in your eyes, we are just worthless lives?"
He Miao was stunned. She seemed to have never expected that a widow of lowly status would dare to attack her.
She gnashed her teeth in anger and shouted, "Brother Yu! You let people bully me like this?"
Shen Yu frowned from beginning to end. He slowly stood up and walked over with the support of Manager Chen.
"He Miao," Shen Yu sighed, "The injury on my back is the final remedy for our past relationship. You are now at the age of marriage. From now on, don't come to the Shen Mansion again."
When He Miao heard this, her face turned pale.
She stared at Shen Yu and Wen Wan in a daze, screaming hysterically.
Shen Yu's brows knitted tighter and tighter, and he simply ordered Xiang Tu to send the man back to the He family overnight.
He Miao set fire to his place and injured him. With this excuse, he could send the person away naturally.

At dawn, the fire in the yard was finally put out.
The yamen runners and town residents who came to help were all very tired. Wen Wan asked Manager Chen to prepare thank-you gifts for everyone who came to help.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and peace returned to the mansion.
The fire burned down six houses, and Manager Chen took people to clean up the yard.
Wen Wan went to the small kitchen to boil some medicine and brought it to Shen Yu's room.
This time, Shen Yu didn't need her to coax him, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.
Wen Wan glanced at him in surprise, "Why, you're not afraid of hardship anymore?"
She asked this, but still took a candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Shen Yu pulled her head over and held her in his arms, "The medicine is still bitter, but... when I think about being blind and not being able to protect you at the critical moment, I want to drink a hundred bowls of medicine in one breath."
Wen Wan burst out laughing and raised her hand to pinch his face, "Oh, not bad, after not seeing you for two years, your words to please girls are getting smoother and smoother."
Shen Yu let her pinch him, "Don't make trouble. I'm serious."
Wen Wan replied indifferently, "Okay, I believe you. But don't worry, this prescription cured my eye disease, so it will definitely cure yours too."
"What if it doesn't get better...will you still be intimate with other young men in front of me?" Shen Yu asked.
Wen Wan: “…”
She was just joking, but this guy is still holding a grudge!

In the afternoon, Banyue heard the news that the mansion was on fire, and immediately rushed over with Yan Sui.
At this time, Wen Wan took a nap, and after waking up, she accompanied Chen Yu in the pavilion to bask in the sun.
Banyue held Yan Sui's hand and walked across the bluestone path. When Yan Sui saw Wen Wan, he immediately let go of Banyue's hand, trotted into the pavilion, and threw himself into Wen Wan's arms.
"Mom! Are you okay? Aunt Banyue said you're in danger."
Wen Wan picked up Yan Sui and placed him on her lap, patting his head soothingly, "Mom, it's okay."
Yan Sui nodded his little head, then looked at Shen Yu, "What about Daddy? Daddy?"
Shen Yu opened his arms, pulled Yan Sui from Wen Wan's arms, and said with a smile: "Daddy is fine."
Xiang Tu was chewing a piece of dried meat. When he got closer, he saw a little kid calling Wen Wan "mother" and Chen Yu "father"?
Xiang Tu was so shocked that he almost choked to death on the piece of dried meat.
Xiang Tu reacted, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Wen Wan and yelled:
"Mrs. Wan, please don't go too far! The general loves you deeply, but you are cheating on him?"
