Chapter 329: Talented Man and Beautiful Woman
When this voice sounded, Wen Wan's nervous heart suddenly relaxed.
She looked up and saw the person she had been thinking about.
Shen Yu, dressed in black brocade clothes, walked forward slowly with a cane in hand.
Although his eyes were empty, he was full of energy. He walked among the yamen runners, but he seemed to be out of touch with the world.
He Miao has been staying by Shen Yu's side for the past two days. Although she can see him every moment, even so, when she looks at him again at this moment, her heart still can't help but beat violently.
"Brother Yu." He Miao called out in a delicate voice.
Chen Yu calmly walked to He Miao's side and said softly, "Miss He, how could you forget that this is not the substitute you found to walk around outside?"
He Miao was stunned, her lips moved but she didn't say anything.
Chen Yu continued, "You said you were worried about the insecurity of the journey from the Imperial Capital to Fengcheng, so you had people dress up as you and split up into several groups. Oh, and didn't you also tell them that if they arrived early, they should come to the government office first to find things for you to save time?"
He Miao pursed her lips, looking dissatisfied.
She was not stupid either, and immediately understood the meaning of Shen Yu's words.
Is this to prevent her from exposing the identity of this female con artist?
He Miao hesitated, and her eyes became more hostile when she looked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan bowed to He Miaofu and followed Shen Yu's words: "Miss, I am acting according to your instructions. Your status is noble, how can a vulgar person like me compare to you."
She was very submissive and acted very humble.
He Miao was stunned and finally recognized her voice.
“Yes, it’s you…”
Chen Yu was afraid that He Miao would expose Wen Wan's identity in public, so he interrupted in a deep voice: "Miss He, didn't you say you liked the pearl hairpin from Fuxiang Pavilion? Let's find something quickly and then go to Fuxiang Pavilion to choose jewelry."
When He Miao heard this, she smiled immediately, "Brother Yu, are you finally willing to go with me?"
Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded reluctantly.
He Miao finally let Wen Wan go. She turned to the yamen clerk and explained, "It was a misunderstanding. She is indeed my maid, not a liar."
The clerks and yamen runners all looked sad.
In fact, no one is a fool, and everyone can see that Miss He just doesn't want to pursue the matter.
However, sometimes, pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth is the best way to deal with things.
The yamen clerk was the quickest to react, nodding immediately and saying, "So it was all a misunderstanding. Let's end this matter here. Miss He, go find what you're looking for. If you have any instructions, just send someone to call us."
Since the real culprit is not pursuing the matter, why should they bother themselves with trouble?
He Miao nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, saying, "Got it. I'll put in a few good words for you in front of my brother tomorrow."
This sounded a bit condescending, but the people in the yamen were used to it and they thanked him repeatedly before leaving.
After they left, He Miao walked up to Wen Wan and lifted her veil.
"It's you."
He Miao sneered and said sarcastically, "You are really like a dog-skin plaster. Wherever Brother Yu goes, you follow him."
Wen Wan: “???”
Was she sure she didn't mean it the other way around?
Who is the dog-skin plaster after all?
Chen Yu had already left Dijing and came to Fengcheng, but He Miao still came to pick him up. She was the real dog-skin plaster.
However, at this time, Wen Wan would not argue with her without objection, so Wen Wan chose to remain silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Miao became more arrogant.
"This time, for Brother Yu's sake, I'll let you go. But in Fengcheng, I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise..."
He Miao stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "Otherwise, I promise that you will not be able to leave Fengcheng alive."
He Miao spoke these words very softly, and only Wen Wan, who was standing nearby, could hear them.
After she finished speaking, she patted Wen Wan's shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself. If I didn't want Brother Yu to be angry, I would not tolerate a woman like you."
Hearing this, Wen Wan frowned.
With his back to He Miao, Shen Yu's face sank to the bottom.
He Miao turned around and put on a smiling face again. She stepped forward and held Shen Yu's arm, "Brother Yu, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
Shen Yu restrained his emotions, coughed awkwardly, and withdrew his arm without leaving a trace.
"I'm looking for some maps of Fengcheng. If Miss He is willing to help, that would be great."
He Miao smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Then sit here for a while, I'll go find it for you. After I find it, I'll describe it to you."
"Yeah." Shen Yu responded.
He Miao turned around and walked towards the bookshelf. After taking two steps, she stopped and looked at Wen Wan coldly.
She warned Wen Wan with a sharp look.
Wen Wan's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything in the end.
*
Not long after, He Miao indeed found some geographical maps of Fengcheng.
As if to provoke her, she softly and tenderly described the contents of the map to Chen Yu in front of Wen Wan.
Shen Yu also responded with a gentle smile from time to time.
Wen Wan stood by, watching coldly as Shen Yu patiently dealt with He Miao.
After finally getting through more than half an hour, he finally couldn't help but remind He Miao that they should go back to the post station.
During this half hour, Shen Yu did not say a word to Wen Wan, as if he had completely forgotten her existence.
He Miao supported Chen Yu and walked in front, Wen Wan put on a veil and followed quietly behind them.
Although she knew that Chen Yu was just dealing with He Miao, Wen Wan still felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.
When passing by the backyard, the yamen runners in the distance deliberately talked loudly, perhaps to please He Miao.
"This young man and Miss He are truly a match made in heaven."
"That's right, and you see, they have a really good relationship. The young master is as gentle as jade, and Miss He is graceful and considerate."
"In my opinion, they are about to get married. I wonder if Miss He will give us a few glasses of wedding wine when the time comes."
They didn't lower their voices when speaking, clearly intending to let He Miao hear.
He Miao was really happy to hear such words. She glanced at Wen Wan behind her provocatively, and then said to the people in the distance:
"Don't worry, I will definitely send you a few jars of wedding wine when the time comes."
Several yamen runners immediately thanked him repeatedly and said some nice words.
From beginning to end, Shen Yu said nothing.
Wen Wan looked at the backs of the two people supporting each other, and finally stopped and let out a long sigh.
Zhao took the divorce letter and left the general's mansion when Shen Yu was at his lowest point.
The position of general's wife has become vacant, so who will be the next general's wife?
Wenwan's heart suddenly felt empty.
If the Shen family survives this crisis, it will still be an unattainable family for an ordinary woman like Yu Wenwan who has no background.
By then, the position of the general's wife can only be that of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.
