Chapter 345 The Boss Behind the Scenes
Even through the wall, Wen Wan could feel the resentment of the people in the yard towards her.
In their eyes, a woman like her could bring their immortal-like young master down to earth.
The exiled immortal returned to the house carrying a basin of hot water in a very down-to-earth manner.
Wen Wan sneered and said lazily while lying on the pillow, "I asked you to bring a basin of hot water, but you ended up becoming a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating you."
Shen Yu placed the basin by the window, wrung out the handkerchief, and carefully wiped Tian's face.
"Wash it clean, and I'll apply medicine to you later."
He moved gently and nonchalantly, saying, "Bringing a basin of hot water is nothing. I'll get you some water to wash your feet later. If anyone dares to give you a cold shoulder, I'll break his legs."
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "You are getting better and better at coaxing people."
Shen Yu joked, "I've studied dozens of storybooks, so I have some experience."
"You're studying storybooks?" Wen Wan sneered, "Really? Shouldn't you be studying military books and battle formations?"
Shen Yu put the dirty handkerchief back and said, "The military books and formations can't help me get a wife."
There was a hint of grievance in his tone as he spoke, and he looked at Wen Wan with a resentful expression.
Wen Wan glared at him, "What are you looking at me for?"
"Xiao Wan, I'm not a general anymore."
He said this without any reason, and Wen Wan was so shocked that she was speechless for a while.
After a long moment, she licked her dry lips and said, "The news from Fengcheng said that you fell into the Sand River and your life or death is unknown. Was it you who spread this news?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu sat on the edge of the bed and took out a small box of plaster from his arms.
The white plaster had a cool touch. He took some with his fingertips and gently applied it on her face.
He also slowly explained the origin of the matter.
"I followed the clues my father left behind and found the place he had drawn on the blueprint in that hidden valley."
At this point, he paused, "When I got there, I discovered that the place was actually a cemetery."
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "A cemetery? Why would the prince leave clues about a cemetery? Is it just a cemetery? Is there anything special around it? Have you looked for it?"
Seeing that she immediately raised several key questions, Shen Yu raised his lips, "Why are you so anxious? Of course I also checked what you thought of."
Wen Wan blinked her eyes, "So, what's the result?"
“The result is…” Shen Yu bent down, leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and said cautiously: “Deep in the cemetery, there is a mineral vein.”
Wen Wan was stunned, her eyes flashed, and a bold idea popped up in her mind.
The corner of her mouth twitched. "Could it be that the prince really sold out the interests of the Duan Dynasty? There are actually six mineral veins in the no-man's land? He and Wen En reached an agreement that five of them would go to Mobei, and the remaining vein would be left to the Shen family?"
There may be a reason for the sudden change, and Wen Wan did not make such a guess out of thin air.
For a long time, there was a question that she could not figure out, that is, whether the ceasefire agreement signed by King Anding and Wen En was real.
The agreement between Prince Anding and Enen was not reached because of the 100,000 taels of gold, but there must have been something involved, otherwise Prince Anding would not have signed such a ceasefire agreement with such an obvious imbalance of interests.
This mineral vein that appeared out of nowhere became the clue to uncovering the truth.
Shen Yu had become numb to her intelligence, and he had already said too many words of praise.
"Yes, only my father secretly seized this mineral vein can explain the letter of cessation of war."
Shen Yu lowered his head somewhat helplessly.
As the son of King Anding, he was originally certain that the story of King Anding betraying the interests of the Duan Dynasty was a fabricated story and that he was framed.
However, after an investigation, not only did they fail to clear Prince Anding's name, but instead they confirmed his guilt.
Wen Wan could imagine the struggle in his heart at this moment.
She propped herself up and sat up, hugged his waist from behind, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
She whispered, "Even if the mine was stolen by the prince, I believe there must be a reason. You know the prince's loyalty to the Duan Dynasty better than I do, right?"
Shen Yu responded, forcing a smile.
"If it were before, I would not doubt my father's loyalty, but now..."
The Shen family was suppressed for no reason, simply because the person in the upper position was afraid that the Shen family would become more powerful than the master.
The Shen family's loyalty was ultimately rewarded with suspicion and decline.
Then what about his fighting on the battlefield?
Is it a huge joke?
"Xiao Wan, if..." Shen Yu's lips moved, and he found it difficult to speak.
Wen Wan raised her head to meet his gaze and asked coldly, "If what? If you rebel, will I support you?"
Shen Yu didn't expect that the two treasonous words "rebellion" would be spoken so lightly by her.
He stared at her face in shock, as if trying to see something from her face.
Wen Wan smiled sarcastically, "Do you remember I asked you a question? Are you, the Shen family, loyal to the emperor or to the world?"
Shen Yu said nothing.
Wen Wan sighed softly and said, "So, if the person in power doesn't deserve to sit in that position, and you can bring a better life to the people of the world, then what if you seize the throne?"
Silence spreads amid the surging emotions in my heart.
The answer was gentle and a firm hug.
Chen Yu's voice was hoarse with excitement, "Xiao Wan, meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life."

The two snuggled together for a while before gradually separating.
Wen Wan saw Shen Yu put the plaster away, and then she casually asked him about his identity.
Shen Yu smiled meaningfully, "Have you heard of the Wen family business?"
When Wen Wan heard this, the muscles on her face twitched.
She stared at him intently, "Oh, you're talking about the Wen family, the company that has suddenly emerged in the past two years, from banks to caravans, getting involved in every business imaginable?"
Even though she lived in a remote town, she had heard of the Wen family business.
It is said that the Wen family business started out by selling seafood in Bincheng. There are also rumors that the Wen family has a pirate background and is very domineering in doing business.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this domineering attitude that the Wen family's business expanded rapidly. It only took two years for the business to expand from the sea to spread throughout the Duan Dynasty.
Today, it is no exaggeration to say that Wen is one of the best businesses in the Duan Dynasty.
When people mention the Wen family, they only think of two words: "rich". And not just ordinary rich, but extremely rich.
Wen Wan's lips were trembling, "Don't tell me you are the boss behind the Wen Group..."
If so, it was a huge shock to her.
Isn't her man too powerful?
Shen Yu smiled and reached out to poke her between the eyebrows.
"What are you thinking? How could I be the boss behind the Wen family?"
