Chapter 33: They are all ruthless people
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy. Wen Wan received the five hundred taels of silver notes from Jinmu early in the morning, and her whole temperament suddenly changed.
"Come on, let's go out and have some fun with me. I have money, and we can eat and drink delicious food, and find some girls to play with!"
Chen Zhou, who was following behind her, staggered in fear at her fierce words.
He barely managed to hold onto the railing to steady himself. "Sister Xiaowan, you said exactly the same thing as that local tycoon in our village."
Wen Wan: "Hmm? Then he knows how to enjoy life, so he can be considered a fellow traveler."
Chen Zhou rolled his eyes at her and said, "But when he was looking for a girl to play with, he got jealous of others and was beaten to death."
Wen Wan: “…”
She slapped Shen Zhou on the forehead and said, "You little brat, you're such a spoilsport! Okay, let's not look for a girl anymore. Let's go have a good meal. That should be fine, right?"
"Okay!" Chen Zhou nodded repeatedly, "There's a beggar's chicken place on East Street. I heard it's delicious. Sister Xiaowan, let's go eat it."
Wen Wan smiled and replied, "No problem, I'll bring a few back for Mute and the others later."
Chen Zhou thought of something and said, "Then let's bring one for Brother Chai as well."
"Him? He didn't!" Wen Wan turned around and left angrily.
Chen Zhou was confused. He touched the back of his head, felt sad for Achai for a second, and then happily caught up with Wen Wan.

The atmosphere in the Shen Mansion's study was very depressing.
Before a cup of tea, the guard who was responsible for secretly looking after the side courtyard came to report on the situation in the side courtyard in the past two days.
The guard said that the general's favorite osmanthus tree in the backyard was pulled up by Miss Xiaowan to take a bath.
"There are no flowers left?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
The guard was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up. "Well! Miss Xiaowan... uh, she's very determined. She climbed up the tree by herself and spent two hours to get all the osmanthus flowers down."
"Heh," Shen Yu was so angry that his teeth itched, "Two hours, she's not afraid of trouble."
Even a fool could see that she was extremely angry and was taking it out on his flowers.
Shen Yu waved his hand, and the guard who reported breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew.
Kaneki hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow, but was stopped as soon as he turned around.
"Jinmu." Shen Yu leaned back weakly.
Kaneki froze and looked up with a bitter face.
Chen Yu: "Tell me, I kindly arranged a new identity for her and took her in as my concubine. What else could she be dissatisfied with?"
"A concubine of a merchant, if she weren't still useful, would she be worthy of being my general's mistress?"
This is the first time he has mentioned this to a girl in so many years, and she actually refused. Doesn't he have any dignity?
Kaneki: “…” This is not a question to him, so he doesn’t need to answer!
Sure enough, after Shen Yu vented a few words, he rubbed his temples irritably and said, "Back off."
Kaneki controlled his facial expression and tried to appear calm. He turned around and raised his leg, his foot just landing outside the threshold.
"etc."
Kaneki withdrew his foot reluctantly and looked back sadly.
"Are you laughing at this general in your heart?" Shen Yu asked sternly.
"I don't have any!" Kaneki answered stiffly.
When the boss is in a bad mood, it is really hard for the subordinates.
Shen Yu snorted coldly, "If not, why did you leave without saying a word? Do you want to hide and laugh?"
Kaneki was driven crazy and was about to cry. General, can you be normal?
Kaneki could only wail these words in his heart, not daring to say them out loud.
Jin Mu: "General, there's a beggar's chicken place on East Street. Everyone who's eaten there says it's delicious. Miss Xiaowan loves delicious food. How about I buy one for you and send it to her?"
"Girls are angry. We men should be more generous and stop arguing with these little girls. Can we coax them?"
He has tried his best. If this continues, his subordinates will be driven crazy.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "That makes sense. Why should I, a great general, coax a young lady?"
Kaneki: “???”
He obviously didn't say that!
Forget it, the general is crazy, they can only leave it to fate.

Wen Wan still didn't get to eat beggar's chicken in the end.
That restaurant was so popular that not only were all the seats full, but their signature dish, beggar's chicken, was also sold out.
She and Shen Zhou stood at the door of the restaurant and observed a moment of silence for a long time before they were willing to accept this reality.
Chen Zhou: "What should we do now?"
Wen Wan sighed, "If beggar's chicken isn't an option, let's try something else. Are there any other special flavors in this city?"
"Special flavor..." Chen Zhou thought for a moment, "Have you ever tried Mobei roasted lamb?"
Although there have been constant wars with the Mobei people in recent years, to be honest, their roasted lamb is really delicious.
The owner of the roast lamb shop was a chef who had traveled to Mobei and opened a shop in the city after returning.
Because it was roasted lamb made by people from Mobei, and had the word "Mobei" in its name, even though they were from the Duan Dynasty, their business in this city was very average.
It was lunchtime, but there was no one in the store.
Chen Zhou called out, "Is the boss here?"
No one responded.
Wenwan had a keen nose and smelled the aroma of cumin wafting from the back door.
Just thinking about cumin sprinkled on the freshly roasted lamb makes your mouth water.
"The boss should be roasting lamb in the backyard. Let's go and take a look."
"Ah, can we just go directly? I heard that this chef has a bad temper." Chen Zhou hesitated.
Wen Wan: "We are guests, coming here to spend money and make him money, he shouldn't do anything to us."
Chen Zhou nodded, "That's right."
The two of them lifted the curtain of the back door, walked through the passage, and came to the backyard.
There was an iron rack in the yard with a sheep skewered on it. Perhaps the person roasting the sheep was lazy and a part of the sheep's belly was burnt.
In the corner of the yard, in a house with a pile of wood in front of the door, the sound of a whip hitting flesh could be heard.
This level of whipping requires both the person doing the whipping to be cruel and the person enduring the whipping to be cruel.
Wen Wan felt her scalp tingling when she heard the voice.
Chen Zhou tugged at Wen Wan's sleeve and said, "Sister Xiaowan, let's stop interfering and leave quickly. I don't want to eat this roasted lamb anymore."
Wen Wan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she happened to see a pair of eyes out of the corner of her eye.
There was a small hole the size of a palm on the window of the room, just enough to reveal a pair of eyes.
The man seemed to be facing the window, with a look of empty despair in his eyes.
It was as if he had gotten used to all the suffering.
Wen Wan doesn't have the heart of a white lotus, she is just a salted fish with no big aspirations.
So, rationally, she should leave here immediately.
But what makes us human is that we have emotions.
If that person made a sound or begged for mercy, she would not interfere out of pity.
But he said nothing, as if he was silently and quietly waiting to die.
There are always some people who are suffering the deepest suffering in the world in corners that we cannot see, and they, like us, have flesh and blood and can feel pain.
