Chapter 53: Nice Thoughts
The roasted lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting an enticing aroma.
A group of half-grown children squatted around the roasted lamb, grunting and drooling.
Next to the roasted lamb, there is a large iron pot with boiling lamb soup in it, and small bubbles are constantly coming out of it.
Seeing that the children were very greedy, Wen Wan took a knife and cut a piece of roasted lamb for each child.
Shen Yu saw a group of children gathered in front of Wen Wan from afar, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel emotional.
She had only been in the border town for a month or so, but she had completely integrated into the place.
He handed the horse's reins to Agui and then walked up to her.
Wen Wan had just finished distributing barbecue to the children when she saw a hand that was obviously larger than the children spread out in front of her.
She looked up along the palm and met Shen Yu's teasing gaze.
"I want to eat too."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at her and said, "How old are you? You're as greedy as a child? Everyone hasn't arrived yet, just wait."
She turned around, leaving Shen Yu hanging there.
When the group of children around saw this scene, they covered their mouths and started laughing.
Shen Yu withdrew his hand in dismay, and it took him a while to react. He was a first-class general, and he had to look at this woman's face to eat a piece of barbecue?
But he didn't seem angry at all.
Could this be what they call beauty in the eyes of the beholder?
This taste is quite special.
People who have seen great storms are used to being calm in the face of difficulties. After figuring it out, Shen Yu put on a smiling face, rolled up his sleeves and went to help Wen Wan.
Wen Wan felt that he was in the way and glared at him from time to time, but he didn't show any displeasure. Instead, his eyes and brows were full of smiles.
Jin Mu came here with Shen Yu today. He and A Gui were chatting in the corner of the yard.
The two of them watched the way Shen Yu and Wen Wan were getting along, and shook their heads helplessly at the same time.
Jin Mu: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have believed that our general would also flirt with a young lady."
Agui: "That's right. Think about it, the general used to avoid all the young ladies like the venom of the snake. There must have been at least eighty young ladies who cried because of his scolding."
Jin Mu nodded in agreement, "Not to mention the past, even now, the general's wife has been in the border town for so long, it's not easy for her to see our general."
Speaking of the general's wife, Agui recalled his recent encounter with Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu is a good person by nature, but she has one shortcoming: she talks too much.
Agui was a little worried that Wen Wan's affairs would spread to the mansion. After hesitating for a moment, he told Jinmu what happened during the day.
After hearing this, Jinmu didn't react much.
"Let me think about it. Judging from the current situation, even if Miss Xiaowan's affairs are known to the mansion, it won't be a bad thing."
Agui didn't understand, "How do you say that?"
Jin Mu: "Think about it, the general has set his sights on Miss Xiaowan, and Miss Xiaowan doesn't want to be a concubine, so sooner or later Miss Xiaowan will enter the general's mansion."
Ah Gui suddenly realized, "That makes sense!"
The two men were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice that Winn, who was holding a plate in the shadows on the other side of the wall, had heard everything.
The gloom on the boy's face was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were blazing with light, like a burning flame.
He met her when he was in desperate situation, and finally he had a reason to live again.
He would not allow and would never let her disappear from his world!

It was the first time that the courtyard was so lively. Some were eating meat, some were drinking, and everyone was immersed in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Wen Wan looked around but couldn't find Wen En.
Chen Zhou grabbed a roasted leg of lamb and said, "I saw him just now. He seems to have gone out."
Wen Wan was puzzled, "Going out now? What could be more important than eating?"
She was muttering to herself, but she had already walked to the gate of the yard.
The alley outside the door was empty, with only a few fallen leaves swaying alone in the wind.
She averted her gaze and just as she turned around, her toes kicked something soft.
Wen Wan was frightened and was about to scream when the black shadow shouted in a hoarse voice.
"elder sister."
"Yeah?" Wen Wan patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked down and saw Wen En sitting against the wall with a wronged look on his face, his hands wrapped around his knees, his eyes red with pity.
Wen Wan squatted down and touched his head, "What's wrong with you?"
Wen En looked up eagerly, "Sister, if you become that man's concubine in the future, I will become a human again, right?"
"?" Wen Wan was confused. "What are you talking about? Whose concubine should I be?"
Wen En said dejectedly, "I heard it all. They said that man has taken a fancy to you, and you will become his concubine sooner or later."
"Are you talking about Captain Zhou?" Wen Wan asked in a deep voice.
Winn responded with a sly glint in his eyes.
That man is a general, there is no need for my sister to know!
As a general, he is a hero with a halo in the border town. He doesn't want Wen Wan to be like those women, looking at people with admiration.
Wen Wan curled her lips. "If he likes me, I have to be his concubine. He has such a beautiful dream! Am I so cheap that I am only worthy of being a concubine?"
Winn looked at her cautiously, "Sister won't be with him?"
"Uh..." Wen Wan hesitated, "Anyway, I won't be his concubine!"
In the past, she lived in the general's mansion because the general was not in the mansion. She could eat and drink for free and did not have to serve a man. She lived as a concubine.
Now, the general's wife wants to use her as a reproductive tool. Unless she has a simple mind, there is no way she can go back.
As for being Captain Zhou’s concubine?
Are you kidding me? Now that she has money and a new legal identity, wouldn't it be nice to live alone? Does she really have to find a bastard father for herself?
"Don't worry, sister won't abandon you. You bastard, how can you be more important than your brother!"
Hearing this, Wen En was stunned at first, then he smiled brightly.
Wen Wan helped him stand up. "You little kid, you didn't even eat because of this. Don't do this again in the future. You have to grow up quickly and help me beat away those dogs who want to make me a concubine!"
"Okay!" Wen En nodded obediently, and then said: "Then I won't look for a young lady in the future. We will spend our lives together."
"Haha," Wen Wan patted his shoulder. "Although your words are largely meant to coax me, I'm still very relieved to hear you say that."
Wen Wan at that time did not believe the sweet words that the boy said casually.
Some feelings sprout in the small beginning, but by the time they are discovered, they have already become bloody and violent, enough to destroy the whole life.

Perhaps because she knew what was behind Shen Yu's plan, Wen Wan didn't give him a good look when she returned to the yard.
When he wanted to drink soup, she pretended not to see it. When he wanted to eat meat, she yelled at him fiercely.
"Don't you have hands? The food is all here. Can't you get it yourself if you want to eat?"
Shen Yu: “…”
How did he offend her?
