Chapter 8 His Little Wife
Kaneki: "...General, Miss Xiaowan hasn't had any special reactions these past few days."
Surprise flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, "Didn't you try to escape?"
Jinmu shook his head like a rattle, "No."
Shen Yu sneered, "That's strange. This girl doesn't look like someone who would stay quiet."
Jin Mu spoke frankly, "But the truth is, Miss Xiaowan is not only content, she's too content. She eats well, drinks well, and has fun every day. In my opinion, she lives a very comfortable life."
Having said that, Kaneki thought about it carefully and added awkwardly.
"If I really have to say there's been any change... Miss Xiaowan sighed in the mirror this morning, saying she'd gained three pounds in just a few days. She suspected the mute woman was treating her like a pig..."
Jin Mu couldn't help laughing as he spoke, causing Shen Yu to glare at him angrily.
Shen Yu sat down on the chair, his face gloomy.
"She really enjoyed it? Does she still have the self-awareness to be a prisoner?"
Kaneki didn't dare respond to this, since the general wasn't really looking for an answer anyway.
Shen Yu was sulking for a while, so he simply got up and walked out.
Jin Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, "General, where are you going?"
Shen Yu didn't even turn his head, "Go kill the pig!"

The table was full of food, and every dish was delicious.
Wen Wan accidentally drank two bowls of rice with the food. Before she put down her bowl and chopsticks, the mute woman served her a bowl of chicken soup.
She was in pain and happy at the same time, waving her hands repeatedly, "I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore."
The mute woman did not withdraw her hand, but just kept smiling kindly at her.
Faced with such sincere enthusiasm, it is really hard to say anything no.
Wen Wan patted her round belly and took the bowl of soup with gritted teeth.
There will still be time and space if you squeeze a little.
Maybe, a bowl of soup can be poured into the gaps between the rice?
Chen Yu, who had changed into casual clothes, walked into the house and just saw Wen Wan gulping down her soup.
That action cannot be said to be heroic, it can only be said to have nothing to do with elegance.
Wen Wan put down the bowl of soup and couldn't help but burp. She leaned back, holding her stomach with both hands and couldn't help but let out a soul-stirring sigh.
"Food, sex, and nature are all part of life. I've completed the first step in my life. It's a pity I can't get out of the yard. Otherwise, I could have started the second step of my plan..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall dark figure standing at the door out of the corner of his eye.
Wen Wan turned her head in a daze, and met Chen Yu's face full of disgust.
She curled her lips, stretched her hands forward, struggled to sit up straight, and tried her best to regain a little bit of her image in front of Shen Yu.
"Oh," Shen Yu stepped over the gate, his contempt very obvious, "As expected, she is a merchant's concubine, all she thinks about is food and sex."
Wen Wan: “…”
As for being greedy, she admitted that she was a little bit greedy, but as for being lustful, that was absolutely a rumor!
In the past three years, apart from the man in front of her whose mouth is more poisonous than a wasp, she has not seen a decent handsome guy. Even if she wants to be naughty, she has no chance.
Shen Yu sat down next to Wen Wan, glanced at the mute woman, then glanced at the table full of dishes, and his brows suddenly frowned.
He waved his hand, signaling the mute woman to go out first.
The mute woman obeyed the order and carefully closed the door for the two of them when she left.
Wen Wan swallowed her saliva and said cautiously:
"I just ate a few more bowls of your rice. Why do you still want to settle the score with me?"
"Don't forget, when we were in the mountains, the ancient tomb I found for you had enough food for me to eat for several years..."
Suddenly, Shen Yu hooked his toes, and without any effort, Wen Wan was pulled in front of him along with the chair.
He raised his hand and pinched Wen Wan's chin. "I made a mistake. The mute woman has a cunning personality and is not easy to get along with. I was afraid that she would make things difficult for you, so I told her a little lie. I didn't expect it to backfire."
"Is the mute woman difficult to get along with?" Wen Wan immediately retorted, "Is there some misunderstanding? How could it be that the mute woman is so kind and gentle and difficult to get along with?"
"Kind and gentle?" Shen Yu seemed to think she was joking.
He didn't dwell on this question, but patted her cheek and said, "Do you know what I told her?"
It was originally just a subconscious action, but he didn't expect to feel a smooth and warm touch at his fingertips.
He was suddenly startled.
This is what it feels like to touch a girl's face?
Wen Wan didn't notice Shen Yu's fleeting strangeness and instinctively waved his claws away.
She held her cheeks with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would slap her face again.
Wen Wan: "I know. I'm not stupid. I guessed it on the first day."
"Oh?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
Wen Wan cleared her throat and winked at him with a smug look.
"On the first night, the mute woman brought me a wedding quilt. At first, I thought she had made a mistake, but then her attitude towards me was so respectful and loving that I figured it out after a while."
Wen Wan's smile deepened. "You, you must say that I'm your good lady, right?"
She was still feeling proud, but Shen Yu's expression became increasingly ugly.
Wen Wan sighed in a pretentious manner, and the two brothers patted his shoulders and comforted him:
"To be honest, although you are just a small captain, you are still very smart."
"You imprisoned me here, it must be of great use. Perhaps my usefulness will even attract the covetousness of other forces."
"You have to control me, but you also have to prevent other forces from noticing me. Using this kind of relationship between a man and a woman to place me is cheap and keeps me out of sight."
After she finished speaking, she gave him a thumbs up to express her approval of his intention.
And her words were completely beyond Shen Yu's expectations.
"Who are you?"
How could a concubine of a merchant possess such wisdom?
Wen Wan: "I'm Zhao Xiaowan, I'm just much smarter than the average person, it's nothing, just a little water."
She is now a fish on the chopping board, no longer a concubine living safely and comfortably in the backyard of the general's mansion.
At this moment, she not only cannot hide her incompetence, but also has to try her best to show the value of her existence. After all, only people with value deserve to live.
Therefore, her pretentiousness was really forced by the situation.
Shen Yu could see that she was deliberately showing off her intelligence, but he had to admit that her move was really right.
"Do you have a master?" Shen Yu suddenly asked.
Wen Wan nodded, "Yes!"
It can't be absent, otherwise how can we explain everything she knows?
She spoke without batting an eyelid, "My master is an otherworldly expert, well-versed in military tactics and geomancy. I've only learned the basics from him. Compared to him, I'm just a novice."
Shen Yu was silent at first, then asked in a cold voice: "Can you find your master?"
After Wen Wan successfully released the bait, she didn't answer but asked, "No hurry. Before I answer your question, can you answer me a question first?"
Shen Yu: “Ask.”
Wenwan smiled mischievously, "Am I the first woman to live here as your little lady?"
