Chapter 74: Darkness Under the Lamp
No woman has ever made Shen Yu feel such heartache.
He walked slowly forward and gently took Wen Wan into his arms.
Wen Wan's whole body was trembling, as if she was very scared.
Normally, he was like a kitten with its fur standing on end, but now he looked like all his fur had been stripped off, and he didn't have the arrogance to do anything.
She lay on his chest, feeling his hot and hard chest, but the fear in her heart still could not dissipate.
It is said that fear is also an aphrodisiac poison, and this is indeed true.
Her soul felt so empty that she desperately needed something real to fill it.
She ran her hands up his chest and onto his cheeks before she cupped his face and kissed him on the lips.
A kiss of desire and release.
Watered by each other's fear, they grow wildly.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier, but the world inside the house is silent, with only endless gasps, which make the soul tremble and lose itself bit by bit.

After Wen Wan fell asleep, Shen Yu tucked in the quilt for her.
Agui prepared the bath water and said, "Chen Zhou is fine. He's awake. He's just young and a little lethargic after being frightened."
Shen Yu was bathing behind the screen. After hearing this, he spoke for a long time.
"Ask the doctor tomorrow to prescribe some tranquilizing prescriptions for him."
Agui agreed and walked out of the room.
After a cup of tea, Shen Yu finished washing up and came out wearing a nightgown.
Seeing this, Agui looked puzzled and asked, "General, are you still going out?"
"Yes." Shen Yu didn't say where he was going, but only ordered: "Jin Mu is on duty at the camp today. Go and get a few people to come over and guard the yard for the next few days."
"Yes." Agui didn't dare ask him where he was going.
In fact, Agui could guess it without asking.
Agui: "General, why don't you ask Commander Jinmu to bring some people over and we can go together."
Shen Yu raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "No. If the border town garrison comes to deal with it, the nature of the matter will be different."
Agui didn't quite understand these major issues. He only knew that since the general said so, he must have his reasons.

The rain has stopped, but the night is still long.
A group of soldiers were drunk in a brothel. Several prostitutes were almost vomiting from the smell, but they didn't dare to say a word.
The bearded man sitting at the top had a red face. After burping, he slapped the prostitute in his arms in the face.
"Master, I haven't served you well, why are you hitting me?"
Wei Changjia slapped him again, "I'll hit you if I want to. How dare you go against me?"
The kiln girl didn't dare to say anything more. She knew in her heart that this official had been upset with her for some reason and was taking his anger out on her.
"Commander, she's just a woman from a remote village. Why are you so soft-hearted when the time comes?"
"Could it be that you really like her and want her to be with you willingly?"
Several soldiers couldn't understand why they couldn't eat the fat meat that was right in front of them.
"Would I be soft-hearted?" Wei Changjia took a sip of his wine. "Do you think I'm soft-hearted?"
"If it's not a soft heart, then why?"
Wei Changjia spat, "I'm so unlucky! I was so busy rushing all the way to the border town that I've been eating vegetarian food for the better part of half a month. I saw something I liked the moment I arrived today, and I thought I could have some meat, but who knew I'd hit a brick wall!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He kicked the prostitute over and punched her twice.
The kiln girl couldn't bear it and fainted immediately.
Seeing that he was very angry, several people stood up for him.
"A blind man, what are you worried about? Otherwise, brothers, go and kidnap him now?"
"Don't mess around! I have to endure this." Wei Changjia said, "Do you know what that blind woman is holding in her hand?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wei Changjia took off the dagger from his waist and slammed it on the table.
He pointed, "It's the same as mine, but it has three more circles of gems."
When everyone heard this, they gasped.
"Yours is already worn by a duke or a prince. If it has three more circles than yours, then it's not..."
Wei Changjia's face darkened, "Yes, it must be Shen Yu's dagger!"
In the Duan Dynasty, there was only one first-class general.
"Before I came out this time, my old man specifically told me that I can ignore everyone in this Duan Dynasty, but I can only ignore Shen Yu. I don't want to provoke him unless it is absolutely necessary."
It's not that he's afraid, but the person standing behind Shen Yu is the one in the palace. He was a notorious devil in the imperial capital and no one dared to provoke him easily. Now he has a large army under his command, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him.
Wei Changjia held his breath, "Chen Yu gave the dagger to that blind girl. That blind girl must be his mistress in the border town. I'm just unlucky to have run into her."
Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise if this matter was exposed, when he returned to Dijing, his father would know that he had provoked Shen Yu for a woman and would definitely break his legs.
After hearing this, the subordinates also sighed.
"No way, she's just a blind girl, how could Shen Yu be interested in her?"
Wei Changjia glanced at her coldly, "What's wrong with the blind girl? Don't I have my eyes on her too?"
The subordinate shrank his neck in dismay, "That's true. But Commander, if it's Shen Yu's mistress, will he cause trouble for us?"
"He dares?" Wei Changjia curled his lips in disdain. "Is our Wei family easy to bully? We don't provoke him because we're afraid of trouble. Similarly, he won't openly oppose us. For him, going against us for a woman would be just as troublesome."
"Since it's hard for everyone to get involved, we should just keep quiet about this matter and pretend it never happened."
This is the truth, so Wei Changjia just felt a little regretful that he didn't get Wen Wan, but he was not too afraid that the matter would be exposed.
The more he drank, the more annoyed he became. Wei Changjia stood up and said, "I'm going to go get some water. I'll have the madam send two people to my room to serve me."
"Okay." The subordinates agreed.
Copper oil lamps were lit in the yard. When the wind blew, the candlelight flickered for a moment, casting mottled shadows on the trees.
The toilet is at the back of the yard, and there is a special servant at the door, waiting to fetch water for the gentlemen to wash their hands.
After washing his hands, Wei Changjia threw the handkerchief on the servant's face and walked back swaggeringly.
The servant's face was covered with a handkerchief, but in a flash, after he took off the handkerchief, he no longer saw Wei Changjia's figure.
"Hey, this old man walks really fast."
The servant muttered something and didn't take it seriously.
After a while, the people drinking in the room saw that the commander had not returned, so they went out to look for him.
When asked about the servant who served in the royal chamber, the servant said that there was such a master, but he had gone home long ago.
"Oh no! Commander, did something happen?"
"Quick, split up and look for them!"
"The commander must not be in any danger. He is not only our superior, but also the only son of the Wei family. If anything were to happen to him, we would all be dead if we return!"
