Chapter 85 The Most Dangerous Place
He made it sound like he cared so much about Wenwan.
But in Wen Wan's opinion, his possessiveness of the original owner far exceeded the friendship he mentioned.
Since they were under each other's roof, Wen Wan had no intention of provoking him with words.
Her silence made Meng Jin sigh deeply.
"Forget it. You've lost your memory and can't empathize with me. I don't blame you."
He seemed to be comforting himself, and caressed Wenwan's cheek tenderly, as if he was lost in a memory, wanting to relive the good times in his memory through the her in front of him.
Outside the door, someone came hurriedly to report.
"Sir, the border town garrison is coming in this direction and will likely search here soon."
Meng Jin's expression was stern, but he was not afraid at all.
"I'm here now, so why should I be afraid? As long as Shen Yu is not in the border town, who dares to touch me in this border town?"
Having said that, Meng Jin still led his people out.
Not long after he left, a few cat meows were heard outside the window.
The cat's meow has a tone of amorous feelings, but the rhythm of its meow is three long and two short.
When Wen Wan heard this, her face lit up with joy.
She walked quickly to the window, pushed it open, and a figure jumped in.
"Miss Xiaowan!"
"Agui."
At this moment, Wen Wan's nose felt a little sour, "You really found this place."
"Well, I'll take you out first. We'll talk about the rest after we get out."
As Agui said this, he limped over to her and carried her out through the window.
During the day, Wen Wan could barely see the figure. When she got closer, she immediately noticed Agui's awkward posture when walking, and the faint smell of burnt flesh coming from his body.
"Are you hurt?" Wen Wan leaned on his shoulder and asked softly.
Agui said casually, "It's okay, I won't die."
He was agile and even with Wen Wan on his back, he quickly climbed over the courtyard wall.
Not daring to delay for even a moment, he ran as fast as he could, until he had run two blocks, then he stopped to rest, panting.
Agui said, "Two blocks away is General Shen's residence. If we hide inside, those people won't be able to find us."
Wen Wan was shocked, "We...are going to General Shen's residence?"
Agui nodded. "That group of people was quite powerful. They killed several families in the border town, wiping out entire families without leaving a single person alive. Even Shen Zhou and I were trapped in the courtyard by them and left to die."
At this point, he was still afraid, "If there hadn't been a tunnel in the yard, Shen Zhou and I would have been buried in the sea of fire right now."
Wen Wan guessed that Meng Jin would be ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel.
Isn't he the prime minister's favorite student, and is holding the civil service position of the Minister of Revenue? How could a civil official do such things?
But she didn't have time to think about these things now.
"What about Chen Zhou? How is he now?" Wen Wan asked anxiously.
"He's fine, don't worry, young lady." Agui said briefly, "It was thanks to Chen Zhou that he went to the roasted lamb shop to inquire about the information that he found the clue you left behind."
When roasting lamb, the skin should be 80% charred, the meat should be 60% tender, and it should be coated with special chili powder.
In the border town, they had only seen Wenwan eat this way.
That's why we followed this clue and tracked down her location.
Wen Wan was also glad that they all escaped from the sea of fire.
But General Shen's Mansion...
Wen Wan frowned and asked, "Besides General Shen's mansion, is there no other place to hide?"
Agui was also embarrassed, "But that group of people are so powerful and arrogant. In the border town, there is no place safer than General Shen's mansion."
"That being said..."
But how could she dare to go to Shen Yu's mansion? He was her nominal husband. If she was recognized, she would be captured and used as a reproductive tool for horses.
Agui had almost finished his rest. "Miss Xiaowan, let's leave quickly. The border town defenders can't hold out for too long. Those people will catch up soon."
Wen Wan was still hesitant, "But what identity should we use to hide in General Shen's mansion?"
Hearing this, Agui smiled, "So that's what you're worried about. Our captain is General Shen's right-hand man and is very much appreciated by the general. This time, the captain is accompanying the general on a business trip, and before he left, he instructed the general's mansion to take care of you."
"General Shen also went to the Mobei border?" Wen Wan was stunned.
Agui nodded, "Yes."
Wen Wan thought about it and realized that if Shen Yu didn't go there in person for such a confidential matter, it would be difficult for him to report to the person in the palace.
A Gui continued, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao Wan. I've already made arrangements with them. After we go in, we'll find a small courtyard in the backyard to stay and wait for the captain to come back. We don't have to deal with anyone in General Shen's mansion."
If I just hide in the yard and don't go out, I shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into someone I know, right?
There was a wolf in front and a tiger behind, leaving her with little choice.
Wen Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay. Let's go to the Shen Mansion."
*
At the side door of the Shen Mansion, Chen Zhou was waiting eagerly.
When Chen Zhou saw Agui carrying Wen Wan on his back, he cried with joy.
"Sister Xiaowan."
His voice was choked with sobs, filled with all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.
Wen Wan raised her hand and touched his head, "Don't cry, we are all fine."
"Yeah." Chen Zhou nodded and held back his tears.
After everyone arrived, Chen Zhou pushed open the side door and led the two people in.
Inside the side door, an old housekeeper was dozing off at a stone table next to the rockery.
Shen Zhou wakes him up.
The old housekeeper’s surname was Li. He yawned, opened his eyes, looked at Wen Wan, and then looked at Agui.
"Is this Miss Xiaowan?"
"Yeah." Agui cleared his throat and gave Butler Li a subtle hint.
Before coming, Agui told the old housekeeper the truth, that this was the girl that the general was keeping outside.
The person must be served well, but the identity of the general must be kept secret.
Steward Li is an old man who serves Shen Yu. He doesn't care about any disputes between the general and Miss Xiaowan.
Whenever he heard that the general finally had someone he liked by his side, he would be happy for the general.
"Miss Xiaowan, the yard has been tidied up for you. It's the most exquisite yard in the backyard, with good lighting. There's also a lotus pond with carp in it that are well-raised and can entertain Miss Xiaowan."
Wen Wan: "Uh...thank you."
Why did she feel that Butler Li was a little too enthusiastic towards her?
Butler Li carried a bunch of keys and led the three people. "Miss Xiaowan, please don't be polite with us. Just treat it like your own home. If you need anything, just ask the people below to get it from the warehouse."
After saying this, Butler Li turned around and solemnly reminded:
"There are still many medicinal herbs in the warehouse that can nourish my daughter's body. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food. If Miss Xiaowan eats it for a month or two, she will definitely give birth to a son..."
The more Wen Wan listened, the more she felt something was wrong. "You, you just said... give birth to a son?"
Does this housekeeper know her identity?
